Team China had already decided on their next course of action: to find the only intact UFO and then head to the alien headquarters. However, there was a problem. The alien headquarters would undoubtedly be well-defended. If they could preemptively destroy Area 51, why couldn't they destroy a UFO approaching them in space?
This issue, though, seemed resolvable. Xuan had not only designed a program for stealing and a virus in his laptop but also another program that intercepted signals from satellites. This was what the male protagonist, David, discovered in the original movie plot. The aliens used human satellites for signal transmission, and these signals appeared in the satellite signals as a countdown code. Xuan must have intercepted it at some point. In his typical succinct manner, he described it as being able to deceive the alien headquarters, but he wasn't sure about the success rate.
