Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 933: Strike Halfway
"You better have a good reason to wake me up in the middle of the night for two days in a row!"

In Washington, D.C., USA, a fat old black man, with bloodshot eyes, struggled to get out of bed.

He was woken up once at about the same time last night, and he was cursing as well, but in the end he had to get dressed and go to an emergency meeting.

The reason is that the Zhuhai Air Show across the Pacific Ocean revealed that Taiyi Tiangong and "Rui Zhou" are developing aerospace unmanned fighter jets.

Speaking of "Rui Zhou", he is a person that many American officials have been unable to avoid in recent years, from the CIA to the Pentagon, to various consultants and think tanks.
It can be said that the good news has nothing to do with this person, and half of the bad news comes from him.

Countless people are angry that such people were born on the opposite side and can't get together no matter what.

More people hope to hear news one day that "Rui Zhou" has a terminal illness or has been hit and killed by a truck while going out.

C** said we tried hard, but it didn't work.
The fat black man had a meeting all night long until early morning, and then he had to go to work and report to the president during the day. When he came back at night, he just took sleeping pills and was ready to have a good sleep, but he was woken up again within two hours.

"Your Excellency, Defense Minister, an unidentified flying object has been spotted at Midway Island in the Pacific Ocean and is approaching the mainland at a very fast speed."

The fat black man woke up in a second and asked anxiously, "Is it a missile?"

Is this the start of Season 3? So sudden?
I haven't cashed out my stocks yet!

"It's hard to tell. Judging from the trajectory, it's unlikely to be a missile. I suspect it's some kind of aerospace vehicle."

"Aerospace vehicle? Neither the radar nor the satellite responded?"

"We are checking the satellites along the way, but we have not found anything yet. Ten minutes ago, the enemy appeared over Midway Island, which is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and then disappeared. If the direction does not change, it may enter the mainland airspace in 15 minutes!"

Too many doubts made the fat black man feel anxious.
"Notify all radar stations to adjust their directions and search at maximum power. Also, ask all international space organizations if they have any launch plans!"

Although the situation was urgent, he did not adopt a tit-for-tat approach to deal with it, because there was no sign of anything and it did not seem like a war would break out suddenly.

Although the world has undergone many changes, it has not returned to the Cold War era where everyone was on edge.

And relatively speaking, fat black people are relatively "calm" and usually tend to wait and see how the situation develops.

"Sir, is it possible that the other party is testing equipment? For example, the 'Headless Horseman' from yesterday?"

The two words "Xingtian" are too difficult for them to understand. Even if a Chinese person explains it, it is difficult to find the corresponding word in the English context.

At the same time, the opponent's weapons are always given more "evil and dangerous" names for the convenience of publicity, and the Headless Horseman has become a very catchy code name.

The fat black man said in a deep voice, "You mean, it was revealed yesterday that it was under development, and 24 hours later he had completed the development and flew to the Pacific Ocean? Do you think this is possible?"

"Uh, sir, impossible things have happened many times..."

The black man was silent for a moment, then said, "Just follow my instructions. Time is running out."

After hanging up the phone, the black man sighed
Although with the speed of the aircraft, I estimated that by the time I put on my clothes and went downstairs, it would soon fly away from the United States, but to be on the safe side, I still had to take it seriously or at least appear to take it seriously.

Continuous lack of sleep made him feel dizzy and had palpitations. It must be his high blood pressure that had recurred.

He fumbled in the dark for a moment, took out a small medicine bottle, poured a handful into his hand, and without counting it, stuffed it directly into his mouth, chewed it up and swallowed it.

Tough guys never drink water when taking medicine.

A puzzled voice came from the bed behind me.

"Dear, why are you taking sleeping pills again?"

The fat black man was stunned, turned on the light and took a look at the medicine bottle in his hand.

Damn! I got the wrong one!

He immediately rushed to the bathroom, deeply regretting his habit of taking medicine.

On the way, he didn't forget to shout: "Call an ambulance!"

He still held the phone in his hand.

Damn it, I have to inform others that I might not be able to attend the meeting
--------

At this moment, in low-Earth orbit, a silver-white aircraft broke in at an unstoppable speed.

The Xingtian fighter maintained a double-winged posture at this time, looking like a small rocket made of mercury. After confirming that it had entered orbit, the Xingtian fighter immediately shut down its rocket engine. According to the design, its rocket engine could only support two climbs, and it was counted from the Karman line.

If there is an emergency, and the rocket launcher is activated from the atmosphere, it will only be enough for one time.

At this moment, relying on inertia and gravity, it no longer needs to waste any fuel. Similar to a satellite, it can orbit the earth in 90 minutes.

Up to this point, as an aerospace UAV, it has only completed 60% of its test flight mission.

It will move unpowered in orbit and test its stability, protection, communication module, etc. in orbit.

In the Wanhu Command Center, Zhou Rui looked at the screen and said to Ma Weiming beside him: "It's a pity that the launch of the Lingxiao platform has been postponed, otherwise we can see it parked in orbit today."

Ma Weiming smiled and said, "You have to give everyone some time to react. The sudden appearance of something like an orbital aircraft carrier has a huge impact on the world situation. It is human nature to look back every three steps and move forward as cautiously as possible."

Compared with Xingtian, it is much simpler to transform the more mature rail platform technology to the level that can dock Xingtian.

Even in the alternative plan, we can stop at Nantianmen.

But as Ma Weiming said, technology will change the world, especially weapons technology. If we say that the emergence of aerospace fighters is "everyone is working hard, but China did it first."

Then the emergence of the "orbital aircraft carrier" means that it exceeds the threshold of countries around the world, and will bring the concept of armaments to a new height, even if its difficulty is lower than that of Xingtian.

The impact and shock will change all aspects, including society, economy, and foreign affairs. There is no need to be afraid, but if you are well prepared, you will obviously gain more.

Such an amazing thing must be announced to the world? ?
Zhou Rui spread his hands: "Then wait a while. In fact, the technology is quite mature. By the way, Academician Ma, in this case, let's discuss the electromagnetic catapult for the Lingxiao Platform?"

Academician Ma smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I can never go back."

Ten minutes later, the Xingtian fighter jet also completed all tests in orbit.

At this time, it was about to leave the United States, and a large number of radar stations on the ground either missed the time or found nothing.

This situation is not surprising. Even if the Four Invisible Symbols fly close to the face of the human, they may not be discovered. What's more, they are in orbit, which is a pure waste of electricity.

The entire test flight trajectory was precisely calculated. It flew over the edge of the atmosphere and produced an obvious trajectory, but the actual location was over the Pacific Ocean.

It is said to be the United States' sphere of influence, but in fact it belongs to all mankind, so it's okay to show its face a little.

When it passed over the United States, it entered an orbital area that did not belong to any country, so as to avoid future disputes.

When it re-entered the atmosphere, its trace was above the Atlantic Ocean.

It seems like a waste of time, but in fact, all sensitive areas are avoided.

"Xingtian" stretched its wings again and transformed into its complete form. The micro air nozzles on the wings opened briefly, releasing the excess helium stored in the engine and obtaining steering force in the vacuum.

It turned around and plunged into the atmosphere again.

But this time its angle is larger, and it is no longer going to skip stones on the water, but to enter the atmosphere directly.

Compared to leaving the atmosphere, entering the atmosphere is more violent. The flat design minimizes air friction to the greatest extent, but it still leaves a long trace in the sky, like a comet.

As the atmospheric concentration became higher and higher, the surface of Xingtian began to appear red and hot. These spots did not appear on its surface, but on the air currents attached to its body.

If you turn off the Four Symbols stealth at this time, you can see the dangerous color scheme of black and red, just like the model at the Zhuhai Air Show.

In the Atlantic Ocean, some fishing boats that were fishing late at night witnessed this amazing sight.

An unidentified flying object is streaking through the night sky at an extremely fast speed and with magnificent flames.

Suddenly, while passing somewhere.

A straight trajectory rose from the sea, quickly drew an arc, and went forward.

Thousands of miles away, Wanhu base.

"Report! Xingtian's intelligence core has detected that the heat source is approaching quickly."

"Suspected! Intercept the missile!"
