Chapter 688: It's Night
"That's all?"
John clutched Sullivan's handwritten transcript, his hand holding the printer paper trembling slightly.
The latter stood beside him, bowing his head slightly and saying nothing, accepting John's somewhat indignant questioning:
"We took the initiative to reduce 1,500 nuclear bombs, directly abolished the Wolf Clause, and were even willing to ease trade restrictions, so many conditions in exchange for an illusory promise?
You translated Xu's original words to me again, what do you mean by 'only starting from the defense needs of the country, and using lasers as defense to a limited extent'? ”
John certainly understood the true meaning behind this vague statement, but it was precisely because of understanding that he was so angry.
Only from the defense needs of the country, that is to say, the laser satellite launched in space will only operate over the land of the country.
Doesn't that mean that they were originally going to deploy around the world, but with a slight reduction in size?
At this time, the presidential palace was completely shrouded in darkness, and John stretched his body a little, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the Pacific Ocean.
Then came the other night visitors, all of whom were stained with the pungent smell of tobacco, and the guards had to tense their muscles to resist the urge to sneeze.
However, in order to maintain the calculated data in synchronous orbit, it needs to be refueled every six months, and the economy needs to be carefully considered.
The artificial sun was at the forefront of John's mind, and although it was far from being comparable to a landing on Mars, Jupiter, or any other probe, it was so big and bright that the Aramco people could see it when they looked up.
……
When it was time for the shift change, he naturally completed the handover process, and when he left, he heard the other party whisper:
"Eat something first, the captain will give a lecture."
"What a lecture."
He squinted his eyes and raised his head slightly to distract himself, letting the sun shine right on his face.
The guards quickly left, and half a minute later, a bloodshot bell swept past the guards like a gust of wind, leaving a choking smell of smoke.
So the two sides fought each other in the wrong place, and in the end they only came up with a messy result.
John's usually red face is a little dark at the moment, he thought that the only person who could make such a shameless act was with a belt or hair, but he didn't expect this thick-eyed and big-eyed person to learn badly?
He is only leaving for a short time now, and it is estimated that he will spend the last month in such a secret meeting, so as to be worthy of the gold content of the alien civilization.
Xu Rang hinted more than once that he could use the "big moth" in exchange, but how could there be such a high-level secret in the intelligence bureau, and because the exchange was too vague, he mistakenly thought that he wanted to hand over the entire mainland intelligence network, of course, it was impossible to agree.
John knocked on the table, his request also had a meaning, that is, the space power station of the daily project was also to be started in the second half of the year, and the artificial sun must be completed before that.
At first, people in civilian clothes entered, and after a while, several people in formal clothes, followed by people in various uniforms, and then mostly in civilian clothes.
Aramco miscalculated the progress of the laser satellite, and made a request that was unacceptable to the country, which had not yet conducted space tests.
Jong Sung sat in the car heading to the airport, blinking his red eyes that were smoked from cigarette smoke to tears.
After a series of four expert teams completed the analysis and confirmed the news from overseas, the atmosphere in Zhongyuan dropped to the freezing point for a while, and even almost turned into a state of war on the spot.
"Think of a way to get it into the air within the third quarter."
It's 7 o'clock, the sun has risen in the north, and it's normal for someone to show up.
Bang, bang, bang......
The guards in the middle garden heard the sound of hurried heels hitting the ground again, and subconsciously straightened their bodies.
But since the middle of the night last year, such a sound has never stopped, so that the guards can't help but be frightened.
The jet lag is truly amazing, when one side of the earth goes into a deep sleep, the other side has just woken up.
……
I don't know how many people walked into the courtyard at the back, but the guards were sure that it must have stayed up all night last night.
However, Sullivan, who accepted the criticism, complained in his heart that in fact, the "lucrative" conditions they came up with did not touch the core interests at all, and they were just a little ahead of the general trend of the world, and what Xu Rang really wanted was actually deliberately ignored by John.
The main problem is light pressure, the artificial sun is nearly 1,100 meters in diameter, and the light pressure generated by sunlight is enough to fly to Mars in a few months, either hanging on a large spacecraft or requiring a flexible ion orbit adjustment system.
The private docking negotiations ended unhappily, and John could only curse and keep urging the domestic military contractors and continue to find ways to slow down the pace of the Chinese.
What could it be?
The young guard couldn't stop his reverie, he had never encountered such a situation in his career, what was the big deal with so many people and so anxious?
A big earthquake, a big bang, or a sudden local conflict?
He carefully recalled the recent hot spot, and then couldn't help but feel sleepy in the warm sun.
"Strengthen secrecy, let's go."
The artificial sun itself has already trial-produced qualified materials, and as long as the project is confirmed to be put into production, it will be soon.
It's a normal day again.
After finally scolding this incident, John changed the subject:
"What about my artificial sun, how about that big mirror that can provide eight times the moon in space, Robert said this thing is very simple, is he ready to launch?"
Syllable!
The sudden appearance of the figure in his field of vision made him immediately sober up and try to stand to the highest standard.
Thinking more radically, the deployment of laser weapons is originally a process, and it should first complete the territorial defense and then expand its power, doesn't it mean that Xu Rang has not shown any sincerity at all, and is simply fooling people with another statement about what will happen in the future?
Modern international interest disputes are all geopolitical entanglements, so geopolitical issues are the most concerned, in addition to the super "moth" problem that is still being strictly investigated in China.
If you think about the new generation bathing in the sun during the day and the artificial sun at night, you will think that there is a great president named John who has changed Ami and brought light to the moon......
The duration of the soothing mind is too short, and it is "alien technology", yesterday he could only use the old way to refresh himself, but it was actually more soothing, and everyone who knew the situation couldn't sleep at all.
Sullivan knew what John was thinking when he looked at John's shining eyes, but the artificial sun seemed simple, but it was actually quite complicated.
It took only 1 minute for these four words to bring the Space Force into the preparatory sequence, and the Space Agency directly carried the heaviest military purpose.
He will always remember the debriefing: ten full minutes of silence and cigarette butts almost piled up on the ground.
