After a moment, Ellison swallowed hard and continued, "Can you calculate where their target is?"
Ross shook his head and said, "According to our calculations, they seem to be shooting straight into the sky!"
"Sky?"
"right!"
"Keep monitoring! Report any problems in time!" After Ellison finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
After he returned to the office next to the operations hall, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.
Thirty minutes later, the captain of the USS Little Bird, which was conducting a routine cruise mission in the North Atlantic, received a telegram from the Magnesium Navy Headquarters.
When Captain Weber James saw the contents of the telegram, his eyes narrowed immediately. He then picked up the phone beside him and immediately gave orders to other ships in the entire aircraft carrier battle group. He also asked his officers to distribute the coordinates.
Immediately afterwards, all the ships in the aircraft carrier battle group headed towards the target location at full speed, but they could not find any clues no matter what.
At this time, Xu Jianguo, with a black face, had already returned to the space with Fu Bo. He was angry but dared not say anything about being struck by lightning again. He could only quietly go into the bathroom like a nagging woman.
It was just that the system seemed to sense his emotions, and perhaps felt that the blow was a bit harsh this time, so it planned to give him a little sweetness to comfort the injured Xu Jianguo.
[Ding! All 32 satellites have entered their respective planned orbits. Networking will be automatically completed within the next 24 hours. Reward: a simplified satellite engine blueprint!]
Xu Jianguo, who was showering, heard this and immediately felt his resentment dissipate. He quickly asked, "System, have you finally found your conscience? Do you also feel you shouldn't have struck me just now?"
After waiting for a long time, Xu Jianguo still didn't get any response from the system. He couldn't help but curl his lips, and then he smiled, thinking that it was good that he didn't suffer any loss this time!
What he didn't know was that because of him, the entire Western world was in complete chaos.
Not only the Magnesium Navy Command, but even the Space Agency and the Air Force Command discovered the traces of the 32 satellites. The entire Magnesium Ministry of Defense was in a tense atmosphere. The Magnesium Minister of Defense was authorized by the General (who always likes to make trouble) to raise the alert status of the entire army to DEFCON 2.
DEFCON is a measure of the activity and combat readiness of the Magnesium Army. It is divided into five levels based on the degree to which it is attacked or likely to be attacked.
The lowest level is DEFCON 5, which refers to the peacetime alert level.
The highest is DEFCON 1, which means the level of alert when the mainland of Magnesium is attacked, similar to the first level of combat readiness of Longxia.
Logically speaking, even if the Navy Command monitored the launch of 32 satellites, it would not cause such a big fuss. But you have to know that it is 1968, and the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, are in the period of the Cold War.
So at this time, the country of Magnesium suddenly discovered 32 unknown aircraft with a flight speed of up to Mach 27. It was impossible to say that they were not afraid. That was why the Little Bird aircraft carrier battle group rushed to the scene.
In addition to the Magnesium Country, the Parrot Country also received the news from the Magnesium Country, but the Parrot Country's Prime Minister seemed a little indifferent at the moment, which made the Magnesium Country President who was talking to him a little annoyed.
Later, after repeated questioning by the President of Magnesium, he learned something that made him feel incredible. That is, the Parrot Museum, which was said to be the largest in the world, was emptied overnight.
The "trophies" that the Parrot Country's colonists had plundered from all over the world over the centuries disappeared overnight. There was no alarm, no casualties, and even before the incident, the Parrot Country's intelligence agencies did not receive any news. It was as if everything happened in just an instant.
After hearing the words of the Prime Minister of the Parrot Country, the President of the Magnesium Country didn't know what to say for a moment, but he had a guess in his mind that this might be his last time to talk with the Prime Minister of the Parrot Country at the national level.
The facts were indeed as he wished. Just one month after the incident, the people of Parrot Country held several large-scale demonstrations, demanding that the government give an explanation. The Prime Minister of Parrot Country also submitted his resignation to their parliament. Also leaving with him were the head of the intelligence agency and the director of the Great Parrot Museum. These three people also became sinners of the entire Parrot Country and were nailed to the pillar of shame forever.
That is to say, in the decades since 1968, the Great Parrot Museum has not been able to restore its former glory. Although the museum is still open, many of its collections are loaned from other countries by Parrot Country at high prices.
The cultural relics department of Longxia Kingdom had also received applications from Ying Kingdom to rent cultural relics, but they were all directly rejected by the bigwigs in the central government.
Of course, these are all things that happened later. Because of the 32 unidentified flying objects, the two allied countries of Magnesium and Parrot did not focus too much energy on the loss of cultural relics, but instead sent warships to the sea area where the incident occurred.
However, after the special forces of the two countries landed on the island, they only found traces of a large number of rocks and sand burned by high temperatures, and did not find any other clues. When this situation was reported back to the intelligence departments of their respective countries, the two countries immediately held emergency consultations and finally decided to classify this matter as top secret.
At the same time, they did not stop the investigation, but instead increased the intensity of spy infiltration into the Soviet Union, hoping to find some clues from their old rivals.
While the two countries were struggling with the theft of the space satellite and the Parrot Museum, Xu Jianguo, who had just finished taking a shower, had already come to the study and took out the simplified satellite engine design drawings that the system had rewarded him with for his conscience.
After spreading the drawings flat on the desk, Xu Jianguo began to look at them carefully.
Thanks to the fact that he had read a lot of books on mechanics and electrical engineering before, and his natural talent for mechanical skills, Xu Jianguo did not find it difficult at all to look at the complicated drawings in front of him.
It only took more than an hour to figure out the principles and key points.
I have to say that the saying that system products must be high-quality is not in vain.
