Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

"You'd better have a good reason to wake me up in the middle of the night for two consecutive days!"

In Washington, D.C., a fat black old man, with bloodshot eyes, struggled to get up from the bed.

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

The reason was that the Zhuhai Air Show across the Pacific Ocean revealed that Taiyi Tiangong and "Rui Zhou" were developing aerospace unmanned fighters.

Speaking of "Rui Zhou", he is really a person that many American officials have been unable to avoid in recent years, from C** to the Pentagon, to various consultants and think tanks.

It can be said that good news has nothing to do with this person, and half of the bad news comes from him.

Countless people are angry that this kind of person was born on the opposite side, and they can't get together no matter what.

More people hope to hear news one day that "Rui Zhou" has a terminal illness or is simply killed by a truck when he goes out.

C** said we tried hard, but it didn't work.

The fat black man had a meeting last night until early morning, and he had to go to work and report to the president during the day. He just took sleeping pills and prepared to have a good sleep when he came back at night, but he was woken up again in less than two hours.

"Mr. Defense Minister, a UFO was found in Midway Island in the Pacific Ocean, and it 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 the S3 season? So sudden?

I haven't cashed out my stocks yet!

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

"Aerospace vehicle? No response from radar and satellite?"

"We are retrieving satellites along the way, but we haven't found anything yet. Ten minutes ago, the other party appeared over Midway Island, which is the center of the Pacific Ocean, and then disappeared. If the direction does not change, it may enter the homeland airspace in 15 minutes!"

Too many doubts made the fat black man feel anxious

"Notify all radar stations to adjust the direction and search at maximum power. In addition, ask various international space organizations if there are any launch plans!"

Although the situation was urgent, he still did not use the "tip-to-tip" approach to deal with it, because there was no sign of anything, and it didn't look like a sudden war.

Although the world has undergone many changes in the situation, it has not returned to the state of paranoia during the Cold War.

And relatively speaking, the fat black man belongs to the more "calm" faction, and is generally used to stabilizing his hand first and seeing the situation.

"Sir, is it possible that the other side is testing equipment? For example, the 'Headless Horseman' 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 words in the English context.

At the same time, the weapons of the other side are always given more "evil and dangerous" names for publicity. 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 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 and said: "Do as I told you first, time is running out."

After hanging up the phone, the black man sighed

Although with the speed of the aircraft, he estimated that when he put on his clothes and went downstairs, the other party would soon fly away from the United States, but for the sake of safety, he still had to pay attention to it or at least appear to pay attention to it.

Continuous lack of sleep made him feel dizzy and palpitating, probably because of high blood pressure again.

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

Tough guys never drink water when taking medicine.

A puzzled voice came from the bed behind him.

"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 took the wrong one!

He immediately rushed to the bathroom, and at this time he regretted his habit of taking medicine.

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

He still held the mobile phone in his hand.

Damn, I have to notify others, I may not be able to hold the meeting

————————

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

The Xingtian fighter maintained a posture with its wings tightened at this time, looking like a small rocket made of mercury.

After confirming that it entered orbit, the Xingtian fighter immediately turned off the rocket engine. According to the design, its rocket engine can only support climbing twice, and it is counted from the Karman line.

If an emergency occurs, the rocket launcher is activated from the atmosphere, which is only 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.

So far, as an aerospace drone, it has completed 60% of the test flight mission.

It will move forward without power in orbit, and test its stability, protection, communication module, etc. in orbit.

In the Wanhu Command Center, Zhou Rui looked at the screen display 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 always have to give everyone some reaction time. Suddenly there is something like an orbital aircraft carrier, which has a huge impact on the world pattern. It is human nature to look back every step and move forward as cautiously as possible."

Compared with Xingtian, it is much simpler to transform the more mature orbital platform technology to the extent that it can dock "Xingtian".

Even among the alternatives, Nantianmen can be stopped for a while.

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

Then the emergence of the "orbital aircraft carrier" means that it has exceeded the threshold of all countries in the world, and will bring the concept of armaments to a whole new level, even if it is less difficult than Xingtian.

Impacts and shocks will change all aspects, including society, economy, and external affairs. There is nothing to be afraid of, but if you are well prepared, you will obviously make more profits.

Such an awesome thing must not be announced to the world? ?

Zhou Rui spread his hands: "Then wait a moment. The technology is actually quite mature. By the way, Academician Ma, in that case, let's go back and discuss the matter of electromagnetic ejection for the 'Lingxiao Platform'?"

Academician Ma smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that I will never be able to go back."

Ten minutes later, the Xingtian fighter also completed all tests on 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 received nothing.

This situation is not unexpected. Even if the Four-Elephant Stealth flies close to the face, it may not be discovered, not to mention that it is a pure waste of power in orbit.

The entire test flight trajectory was carefully calculated. The edge of the atmosphere flickered and swaggered, creating an obvious trajectory, but the actual position was over the Pacific Ocean.

It is said to be the sphere of influence of the United States, but it actually belongs to all mankind, so there is no harm in showing its face.

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

And when it re-entered the atmosphere and showed its traces, it was above the Atlantic Ocean.

The seemingly swanky batch actually avoids all sensitive areas.

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

Turn around and plunge into the atmosphere again.

But this time it has a wider angle. It is no longer going to float, but to directly enter the atmosphere.

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

As the concentration of the atmosphere became higher and higher, red heat began to appear on Xingtian's surface. These color spots did not appear on its surface, but on the airflow adhering to the surrounding body.

If you turn off the four-image invisibility at this time, you can see the dangerous black and red color scheme like the Hezhu City air show model.

In the Atlantic Ocean, some fishing boats fishing late at night witnessed this spectacle.

A UFO is piercing the night sky at extremely fast speeds and with magnificent fire.

Suddenly, when passing somewhere.

A straight trajectory rose into the sky from the sea, quickly drew an arc, and headed up.

Thousands of miles away, there is a base of ten thousand households.

"Report! Feedback from Xingtian's intelligent core indicates that the heat source is rapidly approaching."

"Suspected! Intercept missiles!"
