NASA headquarters, United States.
A researcher wearing gold-rimmed glasses yawned, pushed open the office door, and slowly walked to the coffee machine.
While waiting for his coffee, he turned his head and looked at the clock beside him.
8:30am.
No wonder the office is empty...
A hint of annoyance flashed across the researcher's eyes.
If that damn alarm clock hadn't been wrong, he wouldn't have come to the office so early!
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
Just as the researcher was secretly annoyed, a shrill alarm sounded from a computer nearby.
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly reached out to turn off the coffee machine and walked quickly towards the computer that was sounding the alarm.
When he saw the bright red alarm jumping on the computer screen, his pupils suddenly shrank!
"Jesus...what is Xiaguo planning to do now..."
He didn't have time to think, he turned around, grabbed the phone beside him and dialed a number!
"Quick! Transfer me to Chief Moulton!"
A few minutes later, Morton's slightly confused voice came from the microphone. Obviously, Morton had not gotten up yet.
"Hello? Who is this?"
The researcher looked at the increasingly bright alarm, his face becoming more and more anxious: "Chief Morton, something happened!"
"Satellite monitoring detected that Xia Country's Xuannv No. 1 took off again!"
"What?!" The moment he heard this, Morton's sleepiness disappeared instantly.
He grabbed his phone with one hand and grabbed his clothes beside the bed with the other: "Where the hell is it now?!"
"..." The researcher swallowed slightly, his pupils trembling slightly, "Above our heads."
Morton's breathing suddenly choked, and his pupils instantly shrank to the size of a needle tip!
…
Lawrence is an astronomy enthusiast.
In order to better observe the starry sky, he specially converted the roof of his villa into an astronomical dome.
At 8:30 in the morning, Lawrence was eating breakfast while adjusting the astronomical telescope that he had bought at a high price.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed across his computer screen.
Lawrence was stunned.
Could it be that I just photographed a UFO? !
A guess flashed through his mind.
As we all know, the United States is a place where UFOs are commonly seen.
A hint of excitement slowly emerged in his eyes.
He put down the bread in his hand and quickly operated the astronomical telescope beside him.
No matter whether it is a UFO or not, as long as he can take a full picture of the flying object, he will make a fortune!
At least, he could become a little famous in the local newspaper!
As he operated on the computer, the astronomical telescope next to him slowly moved.
"WTF..."
As the image gradually became clearer, Lawrence stared blankly at the unknown object on the computer screen.
A dark black, streamlined aircraft was flying quietly in the blue sky.
At the tail of the plane, there is a dark blue tail flame that is nearly half the length of the fuselage!
The camera slowly zoomed in, and Lawrence even saw the bright red flag printed on the side of the plane!
"Xia Country's...Xuan Nu No. 1?"
Lawrence muttered to himself and quickly took a high-definition photo of Xuannv No. 1.
Then, with a flick of his finger, he opened his Twitter account and uploaded the photo.
Little did he know that his action completely caused chaos in the United States.
…
United States, White House.
Albert sat in the office, frowning as he looked at the documents in front of him, taking a sip of Coca-Cola from time to time.
Suddenly, a loud shouting came from outside the window.
Albert frowned and whispered to the beautiful secretary next to him: "What's going on? Why is it so noisy outside?"
Hearing Albert's words, the secretary hurriedly twisted his body and walked to the window, pulled open the curtains and looked outside.
"Jesus..."
The moment she saw the scene outside the window, the beautiful secretary reached out and gently covered her red lips, muttering to herself: "Mr. President, I think you may need to come and see it in person."
Albert's frown deepened.
He sighed deeply, put down the documents in his hand, stood up from the chair with difficulty and walked to the window.
Outside the White House, wherever you look, you can see Americans holding banners.
"WTF?!" Albert pulled down the curtains suddenly and looked at the parade crowd through the gap with a gloomy face, "What happened?!"
"Knock, knock, knock!!"
There was a rapid knock on the door.
"Mr. President, something happened!"
Morton's voice came from outside the door.
Albert's face became uglier: "Come in!"
The office door slammed open, and Morton outside the door looked pale, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Mr. President, Xia Country's Xuannv No. 1 is right above our heads!"
…
Ten minutes later, the presidential office was transformed into a temporary combat command center.
On the big screen, the graceful flying posture of Xuannv No. 1 is clearly visible.
"Fxxk..." Albert slammed the table angrily and shouted in a low voice, "Where is our army?"
"Why not send fighter jets to drive it out?!"
Anthony on the side shrugged lightly: "Mr. President, it is now in geosynchronous orbit. Our fighter jets can't fly that high."
"At that altitude, the only objects we can maneuver are satellites."
Albert's face choked.
"If you want to use a satellite to hit the plane, I advise you not to do it." Anthony sighed slightly, "Not to mention whether the satellite can catch up with it. If we piss it off, it can easily shoot down all our satellites."
Albert leaned heavily against the back of the presidential chair.
An unprecedented feeling of powerlessness arose in his heart.
This was the first time he had experienced this feeling since becoming the President of the United States.
For the first time, he experienced the despair brought about by the technological gap, just like... the Indians back then.
Albert took out his mobile phone with a gloomy face, and clicked on Twitter with trembling fat fingers.
Seeing the unanimous curses against him, the corners of Albert's mouth twitched twice.
"Call Xia Country's national hotline for me!"
…
"Mr. Councillor, I would like to ask, why is your country's Xuannv No. 1 in the United States?"
Albert's voice came through the telephone line and reached the ears of Congressman Li thousands of miles away.
Councillor Li's eyes flashed with a smile, and he asked in a very surprised tone: "Mr. Albert, you just said that Xuannv No. 1 is within the borders of your country?"
"Since when did the 36,000-kilometer synchronous orbit become part of your country's borders?"
Albert's face flushed instantly: "Mr. Speaker, this joke is not funny. I strongly condemn your country's behavior!"
The smile in Councillor Li's eyes became more intense: "Mr. Albert, don't worry, Xuannv No. 1 is just carrying out a mission, you can treat it as a satellite!"
Albert almost vomited blood.
satellite?
How dare you say such a thing!
Is there a satellite like this?!
But soon, his eyes moved slightly, and he grasped the key point of the previous sentence: "Mission? What mission?"
A few seconds later, Councillor Li's indifferent voice came from the microphone.
"Manned moon landing!"
