Rebirth in America

"Equatorial Ring (-)!"

At a meeting, Alex said so seriously: "The orbit means its shape. The equatorial ring is a ring-shaped building built on the earth's satellite orbit that goes around the earth once. Because it is located at the equator So I call it the 'equatorial ring'."

What is displayed in front of everyone is a concept drawing, in which the earth is in the center and a ring-like building is surrounded by the outer space of the earth. It moves synchronously with the earth and is stationary relative to the ground.

On this building called the "Equatorial Ring", there are slender branches that penetrate into the ground at regular intervals. This is the so-called "Ladder to Heaven", which can continuously transport people and materials from the ground to space.

This is a very majestic project, one that is unprecedented in scale. But once built, human access to space will be as simple as taking an elevator upstairs.

"This will be our platform to space. It will not only reduce the cost of exploring space, but also facilitate people's space tourism. More importantly, it has high military value. Just imagine which country can build such an equator ring, it will be able to suppress all countries in the world with unparalleled force."

Those who could participate in this meeting were all CP companies and their senior executives. They had very professional scientific knowledge and did not reject Alex's seemingly delusional plan from the very beginning.

In addition, there was an unfamiliar face present at the meeting. It was a girl with slender white thighs, blond hair and blue eyes. It can be known from the staff nameplate that this girl is called "Jessica" and her current position is Alex's assistant.

Jessica was able to attend the meeting because she was required to take minutes. I saw her immersed in writing seriously and meticulously. No one knew that she was the "Swallow" sent by the Soviet Union to ambush the company.

Others didn't think there was anything wrong with Jessica's attendance at the meeting.

The employees who can enter the company are all Americans who have passed background checks, especially those who have access to core secrets. It also has to undergo a series of political reviews before it can be released. The fact that Jessica can appear here shows that her wealth is innocent and impeccable.

At the beginning, Jessica's arrival made many men in the company excited for a while, and they tried their best to get in front of her and show their courtesy. It didn't take long for someone to spread the news that Jessica was Alex's lover, and gradually no one dared to touch her.

As for why such rumors spread, Alex could roughly guess a little bit. It must be someone with ulterior motives who wants to create a fait accompli. However, he did not come forward to clarify the misunderstanding. This kind of thing is getting darker and darker, and the clear can only be cleared and the dirty can be muddled.

Of course. Facing a girl like Jessica who has both temperament and beauty. Alex had also been tempted. Maybe her every move is done according to the "Swallow" training textbook, but it can make men fascinated.

However, when Alex remembered that the beautiful woman in front of him was a Soviet spy, his mind became clearer. Don't dare to have any relationship with the other party. Especially when he needed to deliver "confidential" information to the Soviet Union through Jessica, he quickly recited the "Pure Heart Mantra" to prevent himself from being confused by women.

The problem is, things like falling in love happen all the time. In addition, one of them is a trained Soviet agent "Swallow". When she wants to seduce a man, even a piece of iron will be worn through as long as she has enough time.

Not to mention that Alex was not a strong-willed person and did not immediately wake up to his actions.

Naturally, one night, everything that should happen happened between him and Jessica.

afterwards. Facing Jessica, who is as delicate and lusty as a little Aries, Alex is in an unusually brave state. He demands excessively every day and fucks this young girl until she can hardly walk.

Certain things will become routine once the layer of paper is pierced. The relationship between the two became closer. And Jessica also has access to more company secrets.

She passed on many of the "secrets" that Alex deliberately leaked, which quickly attracted the attention of the top Soviet officials. The relevant parties paid more and more attention to Jessica, a pawn that accidentally broke into the interior. Even with the death order, Jessica must be protected by all means, even if she is exposed and sacrifices more agents, she cannot be suspected at all.

Because of this, after several leaks, the U.S. government conducted a large-scale investigation of internal personnel. At most, they captured a few non-staff spies. No one suspected the company, let alone He said he doubted Jessica herself.

Those leaks were just intentional by Alex, to make the Soviet Union trust the information sent back through Jessica's line, and to pave the way for this meeting.

Yes, Alex called so many people to the meeting and solemnly introduced the "Equatorial Ring Plan". The ultimate goal was to get Jessica to pass it back to the Soviet Union.

After listening to Alex's introduction, the people participating in the meeting fell silent, secretly thinking about the feasibility of the "Equatorial Ring Plan".

Someone soon raised a very sharp question: "Such a huge plan should be implemented by the national government. The reasons are simple. One is that the funds and personnel have exceeded the limit of our ability. The other is its military significance. The government It’s certainly not going to be in the hands of private companies.”

Alex nodded and agreed: "This plan is really intended to be handed over to the government, but you also know that government scientific research institutions do not have the technology in this area. Our CP or company must be responsible for the organization and planning. , which is equivalent to AA, in charge of the allocation of all manpower and funds."

"But the government may not necessarily entrust us with such a huge project. It may even be impossible for such a project to pass, at least for now, it is unlikely."

The person who said this was von Bryan. He believed that the "Equator Ring Plan" had no possibility of being established at all, and the US government could not devote so many resources.

"There is also the technical issue of the equatorial ring. I don't think it can reach such a high level of technology at present. At least it won't be possible in the next few decades. It may take hundreds of years." Another supervisor also said.

Alex very much agreed with this view, but that was not what he wanted, so he said: "You are right, the equatorial ring project will be calculated in units of hundreds of years. However, we should not just focus on Looking at the present, we must take a long-term view. Just imagine, once this project is obtained by our company, it means that the company will be associated with this project. This is a project that lasts more than a hundred years, and I don’t need to pay much for the benefits. Just tell me."

He paused and continued: "In fact, I think what we are currently doing is the prototype of the equatorial ring, which is the so-called 'space station'!"

As he spoke, he took out a stack of documents, which described the structure and functions of the space station.

"Space station" is also known as space station, space station and orbital station. It is a kind of long-term operation in low-Earth orbit. A manned spacecraft that can allow multiple astronauts to visit, work and live for a long time. Space stations are divided into two types: single type and combined type. A single space station can be launched into orbit by a space vehicle at one time. The combined space station uses a space vehicle to deliver components into orbit in batches. Assembled in space.

This time it really aroused the interest of the experts present. They are experienced scientific researchers and have very professional judgments about whether something is valuable and whether it can be realized. The concept of a space station. In fact, it was not really proposed until the late 1960s and early 1970s. Before that, people only thought of traveling to space.

When the space station was proposed, everyone quickly understood its significance and practical value. With the space station, humans can stay in space for a long time and conduct various scientific research experiments.

"What a wonderful idea! Why didn't we think of it?" someone exclaimed.

Feng Brian was also shocked by the concept of "space station". He had never thought that there was such a practice. If it can really be realized, then every rocket launch can allow humans to stay in space for a while instead of falling directly to the ground like now.

at this time. There are already rumors that the Soviet Union is going to conduct a manned flight. This rumor was actually spread by Alex. The purpose is to put pressure on the American aa and let them understand that they are getting farther and farther away from Soviet aerospace technology.

He has done so many things just to create a sense of crisis and make Americans invest more in this area. Then the benefits obtained by the company will be greater.

Of course, in addition to creating panic, we must also give a path to hope.

When the people present saw the concept of "space station", they immediately felt that they could compete with the Soviet Union. Think about it, everyone else can only stay in outer space for a while, only they can live in space forever. This feeling of condescension must be very good. Not to mention its military significance and scientific research value.

Alex read from the document: "The structural characteristics of the space station are that it is relatively large, has a long flight time in orbit, has multiple functions, and can carry out many and wide space scientific research projects."

He stopped, looked at everyone, and continued: "The basic composition of the space station is a manned living cabin as the main body, plus cabin sections with different purposes, such as work experiment cabins, scientific instrument cabins, etc. The outside of the space station must It is equipped with solar panels and a docking hatch to ensure the power supply within the station and achieve docking with other spacecraft.”

After they digested the meaning of this passage, Alex said word for word: "The space station is just the beginning, our goal is to build an equatorial ring!"

After reaching a consensus with the people in the company, Alex began to arrange people to lobby the US government to try to win support.

The "Equatorial Ring" and the "Space Station" are closely linked projects. As for the materials used to build the "Ladder to Heaven", although Alex did not give a relevant answer, he still mentioned that he found a certain material that could support the "Ladder to Heaven".

"I call this material 'nano material'. Please forgive me for not being able to explain the specific situation in detail here to avoid leaking the secret." Alex said to those people, and it didn't matter whether they believed it or not.

This document caused a great sensation among insiders. They were attracted by what Alex described, but there was also a big problem, that is, their current technology could not be realized at all. As for Alex's claims that his company can do it, they take it with a grain of salt.

"Such a genius idea is incredible."

"Well, let's not talk about the equatorial ring for now. I think the Soviet Union's technology can definitely achieve the concept of a space station."

"The Soviet Union can build a space station? Doesn't that mean the company can too?"

"Shh, don't say it so loudly. Be careful if the people at AA hear you. They are not happy with the company. They have always regarded the other party as their biggest enemy."

"That's it. It's true. I heard that AA's boss Glennan has been slandering them, thinking that they cannot shoulder the important task of countering the Soviet Union."

"Tch, this is really a joke. With the power of a private company, it surpasses the Soviet Union by so much, and this slap is so loud. Can Grennan really ignore it?"

Everything is flowing slowly and secretly. On the surface, the company has indeed been suppressed by AA. However, he still retains his independence. There are complete rules and regulations. What does AA want? That's okay. Just get money in exchange.

But when it comes to independent rights, I will definitely not obey AA's arrangements. Whether it’s technology or talent, AA can’t touch even a single bit of it. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the key to U.S. aerospace technology is not AA.

There is no suspense. Alex's plan has been hung up indefinitely, with neither a yes nor no say. Among them, Glennan's aa played a big role. In order to support it, the government did not hesitate to secretly suppress the company.

What surprised Alex was that the Rockefeller Foundation seemed to support the company. They wanted to replace AA to be responsible for the management and coordination of the research and development of US aerospace technology.

Lawrence Rockefeller found Alex and tried to gain support in exchange for cooperation opportunities. Perhaps it is because the Rockefeller Foundation can no longer wait and is already disappointed with AA. Maybe they wanted to make multiple bets. No matter who lost or won, the Rockefeller Foundation would get a piece of the pie.

"As long as the authority can be released and the Rockefeller Foundation is involved, I believe the problem will be solved soon." Lawrence did not be polite to Alex, but went straight to the point and laid out the conditions. In this way, he should treat Alex as an equal.

Regarding the pie thrown by Lawrence, Alex did not immediately pounce on it and eat it. Instead, he replied: "I have to talk to Hughes about this first. After all, he is my partner."

When Lawrence heard Hughes' name, a strange look appeared on his face, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Forget it, go and discuss it with Hughes. Also, I have to remind you, Hughes is not an ordinary person."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Think about it, is it possible for an ordinary person to fall from the sky twice and not die? Twice, two times in a row, nothing happened. Do you still think he is an ordinary person?"

When saying this, Lawrence showed a joking smile, as if he was mocking and despising. It felt like he was talking about a dog or something, but he wasn't talking about a human being. After saying that, he said goodbye and walked away, leaving Alex standing there full of questions.

He didn't know what Lawrence meant when he said this, but he had already sensed the strong flavor of conspiracy in it.

I just don’t know if this conspiracy is against Hughes, myself, or the Carpenter family.

Immortality... or resurrection from the dead are rare things that others may never encounter or see with their own eyes.

But for Alex, this is something that happened to him before.

For the body "Alex", it has died once before, when it was born, it was already dead. But it came back to life, and after resurrecting from the dead, it became the current "Alex" himself.

But will this happen to Hughes? Alex expressed some doubts!

p:

I had diarrhea yesterday and got up at four o'clock in the morning, three times in one night. Oh my god, the house cat almost couldn't stand up in the toilet. Also, the first few chapters may be too much, so I have to revise the following articles today before uploading them.
