Chapter 85 Global Enemy
"Is there really any worse news than the crash of all the Starlink satellites worth tens of billions?"
Jask still couldn't believe it.
In his opinion, the Starlink incident was the worst thing that couldn't get any worse.
More than 20,000 satellites!
A project worth tens of billions of dollars!
His own dreams and hard work!
If it wasn't for being a bait for Kevin Walker, deliberately setting a trap to lure him in, and destroying his historical closed loop...Jask wouldn't be willing to destroy the Starlink satellites that he regarded as his children.
The most regrettable thing is.
He didn't see the Starlink meteor shower that was unprecedented and unparalleled in human history!
It's daytime here in the United States, and the sun is shining brightly.
That meteor shower took place on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, at dawn or at night. He was equivalent to spending tens of billions to invite people in the night hemisphere to watch a meteor shower.
And he didn't see it,
and he kept his achievements and fame to himself, and
he was criticized, leaving a stigma of "Jask's technology is not good, and Starlink is invaded every few days."
However,
As long as Kevin Walker's historical cycle is destroyed and history is directed in the direction of his own correction, all this is worth it.
The cost is great for him, but the gains are also great.
But...
The secretary actually said that this is not the worst bad news.
This made him a little serious.
"Go ahead."
Jask closed his eyes:
"I have prepared myself mentally... By the way, is it about my illegitimate son who came to my house?"
"You are the drama queen!"
The secretary glanced at him unhappily:
"When it is so serious, can you please not be so dramatic!"
She snorted.
Lowered her head.
Turning the paper in the folder in his hand to the last page:
"This bad news may be much worse than you think. I originally wanted to tell you as the last bombshell after I finished telling you the three bad news."
"Hahaha, I feel relieved when you say that." Jask laughed:
"You can still joke like this, which means it's not a big problem."
The secretary chuckled and raised her eyebrows:
"You try it?"
She picked up the folder and read:
"Because you used a rocket to blow up the X-37B aircraft of the US Space Agency, the US official You have been charged with crimes such as endangering national security, destroying state-owned spacecraft, possessing private armed forces, etc...."
"Wait a minute."
Jask stretched out his hand:
"The X-37B space plane was hijacked by Kevin Walker. Don't tell me that those idiots at NASA can't even figure out such a thing!"
"Of course not, they know it very well."
The secretary raised his head:
"As I said just now, Kevin Walker has always been very bold and arrogant. It is obvious whether he launched the attack. So, NASA, with The US government, of course, knew that the space shuttle was hijacked by Kevin Walker. "
"At the same time, they also knew that the hijacking and crashing of the Starlink satellite were all done by Kevin Walker. In addition, Kevin Walker also fooled the US government at the previous World Hacker Competition. He never intended to really invade the Dragon Country Skynet system... The US government was also very angry and felt that they were fooled. "
"It is precisely because of this that the US government issued a global arrest warrant for Kevin Walker, and many countries around the world also responded. The bounty has exceeded 2 billion US dollars. Kevin Walker is now... a true global public enemy, an enemy of the whole world."
"That's it?" Jask spread his hands and paced on the observation deck of the iron tower:
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and all this was done by Kevin Walker. What does it have to do with me, Jask? The hijacked X-37B space plane fell from the sky, and I helped them intercept it with good intentions. I should be a hero, and the US government should give me a medal. Why did I repay kindness with enmity?"
The secretary smiled.
Pushing his red-framed glasses:
"It's obvious, Mr. Jask, your behavior is too radical. Let's not talk about whether the hijacked space plane can be brought down or whether NASA can finally regain control... Even if it is brought down, it will fall into the Atlantic Ocean. The thermal insulation tiles on the X-37B are very thick, and there may be many problems and failures, but it's better than just blowing it up like this, right?"
"Even if someone really needs to intercept it, it shouldn't be you. You don't have the qualifications. In Hollywood movies, everyone can be a hero. But that's just a movie. In the real world, you You have to be qualified to be a hero."
"What's more worrying is... your starship rocket is obviously equipped with a navigation lock system that the rocket doesn't need. This is very interesting and worth talking about. You are not just facing accusations from the US government. International organizations and the United Nations are also very concerned about the "interstate missile" in your hand."
"That's right, you don't have to stare, that's what they call your rocket now. It should be soon that you will receive a formal summons to explain, clarify, and solve the problem."
"What if the problem can't be solved?" Jask asked.
"Then I'll solve you." The secretary said.
Jask was amused:
"My all-powerful secretary, what should I do now? You don't want to be unemployed, do you?"
"With such a high degree of education, where can't I make a living? And... other places don't require me to wear high heels and run around on a tower without an elevator every day to find a boss who never takes a mobile phone. ”
"I'll bring my phone up later." Jask looked nervous:
"So, what should I do in this situation?"
"There is no way."
The secretary shook his head:
"In this situation, no one can save you except the president of the United States."
America……
Total bucket…
Jask raised his head, looked at the sun, and thought of his old blond friend wearing a red hat:
"[Then next time we have a meeting, let me ask you to see who the next president is and who will win this election.]"
"If it weren't for him..."
He turned around, faced the sun, raised his right hand high, pointed his index finger to the sky, and posed:
"Let's correct history!"
"Can you stop acting!!"
The secretary couldn't stand it anymore and stamped her feet and shouted.
Only then did she understand!
Jask's tense and solemn expression just now, with an "I'm cold" expression on his face, was just to tease her! Playing tricks on her!
She was so serious about talking to Jask.
And the other party...
But he just treated her as part of the impromptu performance!
My boss is always joking and joking, as if he doesn't seem serious.
Don't care about anything.
But it seems like he has been chasing something.
Mysterious.
It's hard to see through.
She thought that the accusations made by American officials and international organizations should teach this playboy who didn't care about anything a lesson, right?
But the reality is!
He still doesn't care!
He even acted like an actor!
"Oh, this kind of thing is not important."
Jask waved his hand, ended the performance, and returned to his original calmness and composure:
"As long as Kevin Walker becomes a global public enemy, then my goal will be achieved. As I just said, Kevin is very strong and powerful. But when he loses thousands of troops and the upper limit of artificial intelligence, Now that he's locked up by me...can he really be the enemy of the whole world?"
He smiled:
"I don't think Kevin Walker has the ability and qualifications to become a global public enemy against more than 200 countries and 6 billion people in the world on his own."
"Besides, this is not my biggest concern. Just wait and see. Soon, the Dragon Kingdom will also launch a global arrest warrant for Kevin Walker. Although the whole world does not know what Kevin Walker's purpose is. What... But the Dragon Kingdom is not a vegetarian. Attacking the Dragon Kingdom's spacecraft and the astronauts on it is tantamount to declaring war on the Dragon Kingdom. "
"The Dragon Kingdom's global wanted order is more useful than any other country. After all...Lin Xian himself is from the Dragon Kingdom."
"Of course, these are all things for later, and it is too early to say this now. At the moment, there is still one crucial thing that has not been completed."
He turned around.
Walk around the observation deck of the Eiffel Tower.
Come to the railing on the east side.
His strong arms rested on it.
Looked up.
Looking at the distant east, the distant shore of the Atlantic Ocean, and the distant atmosphere dozens of kilometers high:
"[My closed loop... still has the last step to go.]"
The European continent meets the Atlantic Ocean, and there is an atmosphere of 80 kilometers above it.
Lin Xian took one last look at the black smoke from the explosion that dispersed in the atmosphere. He looked away and looked at Chu Anqing who was taking a deep breath next to him:
"Are you not scared?"
Chu Anqing took a few deep breaths and raised her head:
"I was scared, I must have been scared... But I'm fine now. Coach Weicheng also said that everything on the aerospace plane is normal. There are no surprises."
Lin Xian nodded.
Only then did he have time to think about what happened in that flash of lightning.
Too complicated and too thrilling...
First, there are the Starlink satellites where thousands of stars have fallen.
Although there is no evidence now, it can be basically concluded that it was definitely Kevin Walker.
Kevin Walker's goals aren't just space planes.
He also considered the problem that the control of unmanned aerospace aircraft is not sensitive. If it is observed in advance, it can be avoided by experienced pilots' manual operation and extreme operation.
Wei Cheng obviously has such strength.
so.
To be sure.
Kevin Walker first controlled 20,000 Starlink satellites to drop from high altitude, forcing the Dragon Kingdom's aerospace plane into the low-altitude atmosphere.
He had no intention of using satellites to destroy the aerospace plane.
His trump card and ultimate weapon is always the X-37B American aerospace plane.
When the Starlink satellite stars fall.
Kevin Walker also simultaneously hijacked an unmanned aerospace aircraft in an orbit of 1,200 kilometers, adjusted its attitude, turned on the refrigerant engine, and rushed vertically towards the earth's atmosphere like a ball of fire or a meteorite.
Because all the radar, communication, and scanning devices of Lin Xian's aerospace plane were damaged, it was natural that the incoming aerospace plane could not be found.
until.
Wei Cheng, who had a sharp eye, caught its traces with his naked eyes.
The opponent is also an aerospace plane, has wings, and is very fast!
So in this situation where I have all the enemies and some enemies I don’t have, I can’t avoid them no matter what.
But at this moment, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway.
From the lower left side of the field of view, the ultra-high-speed rocket spraying Mark rings was as fast as lightning, directly hitting the oncoming X-37B aerospace plane and successfully intercepted it.
This unexpected situation, which no one understood, completely failed Kevin Walker's carefully planned plan, and also allowed the Xiaobai aerospace plane to breathe...
At this point, the sky is no longer threatening.
"Space-T's starship rocket, that's Jask's rocket."
Lin Xian said to himself:
"Why did he come to help us?"
He originally thought that the words "We'll see you in the sky" that Jask said to him at the science charity dinner were to snatch the space-time particles.
But I never expected it.
The opponent's words of "see you in heaven" turned out to be friendly forces!
Now think about it...
In fact, the reason why I thought Jask would come to snatch the space-time particles was because I had deduced it out of thin air based on my preconceived notion that the Genius Club was evil and doing bad things.
Something to say.
Currently, except for Kevin Walker, who is suspected to be a member of the Genius Club, who has shown obvious hostility towards him...the other known members, Huang Que, Jask, and even the Copernicus mentioned by Ji Xinshui, actually have nothing against him. substantial harm.
Even Kevin Walker.
Maybe his purpose is just to get space-time particles, or maybe he doesn't want to get space-time particles. If we really want to say that Kevin has done any actual personal harm to him...except for this time he hijacked the aerospace plane to prevent him from obtaining space-time particles, there was no movement in the past so long.
This is very intriguing.
Oriole, not a bad person, has been doing the opposite of Copernicus.
Copernicus is also the suspected culprit who instigated Ji Xinshui's murder. Let's first assume that what Ji Xinshui said is true.
Kevin Walker, wants to stop himself from acquiring space-time particles.
Instead, Jask stood on the opposite side of Kevin Walker, launching rockets to help him block the aerospace plane's attack.
this……
Is the genius club so chaotic?
Everyone plays his own game?
Each has its own purpose?
What’s even more incredible is that in the current situation of mutual infighting...
How did they manage to remain true to their original intentions for 600 years and not disclose any information to the outside world or leave any traces for so long?
Can't figure it out.
But Lin Xian intuitively believed that the Genius Club was definitely not a loose organization with no rules and no leader.
Behind these seemingly "individual motives", there must be a big hand of macro-control that directs all actions of everyone towards a common goal.
And the one who can control all of this.
Inevitably, there is only one person——
[President of the Genius Club! Or maybe the founder! 】
Unimaginable.
The all-powerful technology geek Jask, the richest man in the world,
Kevin Walker, the most powerful genius hacker boy on the planet,
Copernicus, the dragon that saw its head but not its tail, made all the rich and powerful countries bow to their knees.
Coupled with the mysterious oriole who is a traveler from the future...
Which great god can make these "geniuses" so convinced?
How can we make them obedient, obedient, and perform assigned tasks?
Based on Lin Xian's current understanding.
He couldn't have imagined it.
Does this kind of genius beyond genius really exist?
"Lin Xian! Look -"
Liu Feng's excited voice came from the cockpit:
"[Space-time particles!!]"
In the passenger cabin, Lin Xian, Huang Que, Chu Anqing, and Gao Yang looked at each other.
Liu Feng was so excited.
Forgetting to mention the secret code of alpha matter, he directly told Wei Cheng the true name of the space-time particle.
"It doesn't matter."
Huangque said softly:
"It's all done now, it doesn't matter anymore."
"Wei Cheng is trustworthy, but we were on the ground at that time. It is better to have one more person know than one less person to know."
"Now, there are only a few people in the aerospace plane, and it is a critical stage for capturing particles. Everyone can speak freely. This restriction has been lifted."
nowadays.
The speed of the aerospace plane has been reduced to Mach 1. At an atmosphere of 80 kilometers, it is propelled by a working fluid engine and moves forward smoothly.
Everyone unbuckled their seat belts and came outside the cockpit door together.
The cockpit is small.
After Huang Que and Lin Xian squeezed in, Gao Yang and Chu Anqing couldn't get in.
Lin Xian's helmet was pressed against Liu Feng's, and he followed the direction of his fingers and looked toward the dark universe dotted with stars...
"where?"
Lin Xian's eyes almost popped out and he couldn't see anything.
“It’s still a little far away now.”
Liu Feng said:
"I just seemed to see it... it was a small blue bright spot, which suddenly flashed and disappeared."
"But it must be the space-time particles! Looking up at the starry sky at this height of the atmosphere, the background of the universe is still black, and there are not so many debris that interferes with the line of sight. At this time, there is a bright spot flashing, which means that the space-time particles must not have escaped!"
Lin Xian lowered his head and looked at the space-time particle tracker in Liu Feng's hand:
"That is to say, it is certain that space-time particles are visible and can be seen with the naked eye and captured with a camera."
"Yes, this is good news, Lin Xian."
Liu Feng said excitedly:
"Since the human eye can see it, it means that space-time particles can emit visible light, and the camera outside the cabin can naturally capture it! In this case... Gao Yang can capture space-time particles through the monitor, operate the robotic arm, and use the rice cooker "
Lin Xian nodded.
This is great…
Before taking off, Lin Xian was most worried about the fact that space-time particles were invisible to the naked eye.
If it is transparent.
Or it is invisible itself.
Then the success rate of their space mission dropped directly to 99%.
Now this concern is gone.
Good news indeed.
"Gao Yang, return to the equipment cabin and start operating the robotic arm. Release the robotic arm in advance to familiarize yourself with the operation."
"Liu Feng, from now on, as the navigator, you will give verbal guidance to Weicheng. Through the display on the space-time particle tracker, you will guide Weicheng's course, so that the aerospace plane can get as close as possible to the space-time particles, and create a suitable environment for Gao Yang. capture opportunities.”
In the radio communication channel, Huangque initiated the command:
"Lin Xian and An Qing, you two don't have any specific tasks during the capture phase. You can watch in the cockpit for a while. But after the capture operation officially begins, immediately follow the previous deployment, and An Qing will stand in the passenger compartment to communicate with the cockpit and Equipment cabin; Lin Xian stood behind Gao Yang, assisting Gao Yang in mechanical operations."
"Roger it!" everyone replied.
Subsequently.
Huang Que turned around and left the cockpit, heading to the equipment cabin with Gao Yang.
Chu Anqing was able to squeeze in, with her eyes wide open, and looked at the starry universe with Lin Xian...
waiting.
waiting.
waiting……
Perhaps this is the first encounter with space-time particles in human history.
"Right, right, up a little, in front, slower, left, then left...I jumped to the right again, just in this direction, just hold on to this direction..."
In the radio channel, there was no noise, no one spoke, only Liu Feng kept giving direction instructions to Weicheng:
"Okay, go up, increase the height, and go higher! The position is correct! The speed is also correct! It is right above us! Keep increasing the height! It's fast! It's close! The flash frequency and direction of the space-time particles are very stable during this period! We’re about to meet! Wei Cheng! Keep your distance!”
suddenly.
Chu Anqing's eyes widened and she extended her index finger to point to the upper right:
"Senior Lin Xian! Look! There!"
Lin Xian turned his head and looked in the direction of Chu Anqing's index finger——
hiss……
He couldn't help but take a deep breath.
In the vast background of the universe, above the dots of stars, a small blue light ball the size of an apple is suspended in the sky!
Because the aerospace plane is moving at the same speed as it is flashing, it now looks like the space-time particles are still hanging on the black screen!
Lin Xian narrowed his eyes and looked more carefully.
The small ball of light was not very bright, and was entirely blue. There seemed to be electric charges and lightning intertwined inside, and it looked very active, like a living thing.
In front of you.
They were only less than 30 meters away from this small blue electric ball the size of an apple.
Extraterrestrial objects!
Someone from another time and space!
Beyond the laws of physics, not bound by the universe!
this……
This is what they have been looking for for a long time——
【Space-time particles! 】
"Everyone in his place."
From the radio communicator, the solemn voice of Huangque came:
"Now I announce the space-time particle capture operation..."
"Officially begin!"
