Chapter 486: Growing Against the Trend
August 13 at 7 a.m.
After a night of global panic, the situation finally settled down completely.
China has always insisted on claiming that it was a "navigator malfunction" that caused the intrusion into its airspace by mistake, and expressed regret and apologies for the three countries that were victimized.
After several hours of worrying about the nuclear bomb while holding on to the nuclear bomb button, the other parties jointly issued the "August 12 Emergency Investigation Report and Declaration on Mankind's Fight against Nuclear War" after confirming that it was a single accident and that there was no intention of war, and the United Nations adopted it within 10 minutes of its release without much discussion, and all the delegates voted in favor.
The issuance of this declaration finally convinced countries that there was really no major event and began to relax, and the planes that took off urgently and the warships that left their posts irregularly returned one after another, and the all-night chaos in the western Pacific finally showed signs of subsidence.
The United Nations issued a strong call for a multinational meeting to be convened immediately on the same day to discuss the emergency, saying that the past night had caused enormous human and property damage around the world.
Around the world, people in the shadow of nuclear war have committed many violent acts, such as smashing, looting, setting fire to shopping malls and stores, and other crimes, and the participants have no scruples about "dying soon", and the consequences are extremely serious.
As for property...... Two big things happened last night!
The first thing is that the U.S. stock market plummeted across the board at the opening of the market at 21.30 pm (Beijing time) last night, and the circuit breaker mechanism was triggered at 21:57, the second circuit breaker since 1997!
It was a suffocating 27 minutes, and all stock indexes, regardless of industry, ushered in an unprecedented and terrifying decline at the opening, after all, the stock market itself has lost its meaning under a nuclear war, and no investment can return on itself.
15 minutes after the suspension of trading, there was a circuit breaker, and although there was no such heavy blow after the two circuit breakers, it also made the three major stocks enter an unprecedented bear market winter.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that various countries continued to issue various announcements, and the stock market slowly improved, but after five o'clock, the aerospace sector suddenly rose in an incredible trend, and the concept stocks rose directly, and the shares of the Oriental International Space Hotel Company also rose half an hour later.
This is the second big thing: at 4:34 a.m., Xinyuan announced that the space shuttle "Steadfast" will carry out a charter tour launch mission consisting of nine billionaires and one pilot at 6 o'clock.
Although the format of the notice was exactly the same as usual, the meaning of the announcement at this time was clearly obvious, and people suddenly realized that there was a second place to escape the war in addition to the underground shelter.
Now the meaning of the space market in people's minds is completely different: it is the last and most remote way to avoid war, and the spacecraft of private space companies not only allows you to go up and experience zero gravity for a few days, but also may save your life in the end of the world!
Therefore, after the misunderstanding was resolved, investors set their sights on the already hot aerospace industry, and even if several powerful private aerospace companies were not listed, it did not affect their confidence in the slightest.
SpecaX followed suit after Xinyuan's announcement, saying that two Dragon spacecraft were actively preparing to launch in 8 hours, and that 216 tickets sold and more than 2,000 inquiries were received in the past hour, bringing this trend to a climax.
Another Sierra Nevada company, which has just returned to flight, has also announced that it has three Dream Chaser small shuttles in use, and has also received 160 tickets and hundreds of inquiries.
The three private space companies that are limited in the world and are capable of launching humans into space will be constantly harassed in the next few days, and the rich and elite from all walks of life will desperately send money and even want to own a space shuttle, and even Abel will suddenly be curried, after all, they also "own" a space shuttle, right?
Other large and small private space companies at home and abroad have also benefited, and countless investors have waved money to demand investment in manned spacecraft or space shuttles, and the space market has been unprecedentedly favorable.
……
Capital.
The Aviation Development Commission, the military, and the desert base were all arrested and held a meeting to discuss the handling of the "August 12 Extraordinarily Serious Emergency."
In the past few hours, C810 has been picked up by high-intensity flights across the country, and they have been scolded together.
Except for test pilot Lei Qing, who can only be honored for his special merits in "disposing of the plane decisively and keeping the plane", everyone else has to take some responsibility.
Anderov demanded a thorough investigation of the supply chain, and he even took a C810 to the northeast to inspect the aircraft, and preliminarily confirmed that the skin deformation and a series of failures were caused by the quality problems of the sub-components in the wings, and the suppliers were from Modu and Rongcheng.
And Dou Ping could only keep his head down and didn't dare to speak, the basket he poked out was too big, as for the consequences...... Just look at the superiors who stayed up for more than ten hours and still asked for a meeting.
The military's response was interesting, partly concerned about the lack of capacity to deal with such an emergency, but also proud that the snowbird was unique.
According to the flight computer log, the maximum speed exceeded Mach 12.1 per hour, and he landed only after the parabolic speed was reduced in the territory.
The remaining fuel amount fully shows that the designed range of 36,000 kilometers can really meet the standard, and the thrill of thinking that your own aircraft can fly around the world at a high speed of more than Mach 10 for more than two hours is indescribable.
Moreover, it has been tested in actual combat during the test flight, and the existing defenses are as fragile as paper in front of it, and if you want to, you can even fly over John's head safely!
Even if it doesn't have any attack capability, it flying over the head of the enemy country is a huge deterrent!
Optical stealth and sonic boom problems may be an advantage, after all, they can't be hit, right? Instead, you may have to worry about being visually tracked...... But the flaws are not hidden.
Don't look at the rest of the parties jumping to blame themselves, but as long as they can't do anything about the snow hoofs for a day, they don't dare to really exert pressure.
It's as if this time it was clear that it passed through the airspace of three countries, but it only received a few innocuous protest statements, and even in the long run, it has huge benefits.
If nothing else, let's look at the recent irritating issue of nuclear wastewater discharge...... It is certain that the Chinese side will definitely rely on this as a means of exerting pressure, and the problems that cannot be resolved through protest and negotiation do not seem to be a difficult thing to do now.
As for the Aviation Development Commission being called, in addition to their work field and this matter, there is also the issue of the disposal of the Tengyun project, which is expected to make its first flight in early October, think about it carefully...... Its shocking power is probably not lower than that of the snowbird, will it be more exciting to take it out?
Of course, before the meeting, the bigwig also quietly called Academician She and Lin Ju, and commanded in a low voice:
"It's important that you think about the plan for emergency evacuation in space and come up with a few possible solutions."
Ask for a commuter pass......
