Chapter 423 Hype? -A race against time
"Failed."
"How did it fail? I never saw them in action, and suddenly lost contact."
"I don't know. The disappearance is inexplicable. I don't know if there is a problem under the sea or Umbrella's method."
"It is unlikely to be a problem encountered at the bottom of the sea. No matter how big the problem is with this kind of equipment, there will be at least a few survivors, and now it has disappeared out of thin air."
"But there doesn't seem to be much movement or news over there."
"..."
There has been no news for a long time, and the people who made the arrangement did not take chances anymore.
Umbrella has always kept a low profile, so it's normal not to say anything after they solved it!
"What now?"
"What else can we do? We can't fight again and again. How many talkers have been replaced? Since we failed this time, we should be prepared to endure a wave of revenge."
This man, who looked to be in his forties and in his prime, couldn't help but smile to himself. This was how he got to the top.
"With Umbrella's vengeful character, it is not impossible to shoot us through with their electromagnetic guns now. After all, Gaul has..."
Before he finished speaking, his whole body exploded into a ball of blood, which splashed onto other people.
There was an obvious gap in the wall of the conference room.
"Shit..."
"Is this the light..."
"Why so fast?"
"..."
Their faces were covered with blood, and the remaining people also had faces full of despair. This was originally their last meeting in Paris, and the next one would be in the beautiful New York.
However, it was obvious that the other party did not want them to leave safely!
They all just confirmed the failure here, and they were shot immediately?
React so quickly?
No, they were ready to hunt from the beginning!
Before they could have any last words or remembrances, they were shot one after another!
Umbrella's special operations capabilities, coupled with their advanced equipment, are even more powerful!
Within ten seconds there were no survivors in the conference room.
Except for the breach in the conference room wall, this attack found the best angle and did not affect anyone else...
……
On the building in the distance, Cheng Xue quickly took apart the electromagnetic gun and quickly evacuated according to the original trajectory while humming a ditty composed by Wang Yi without even looking at the results.
He slid directly from the roof along the ropeway to the deserted alley below.
To do such a thing in Paris would be a slap in the face to Gaul.
However, he almost stabbed the opponent to death with a knife. If he slapped his opponent in the face while the blood was still in a pool of blood, he would most likely not feel anything to be humiliated about.
Besides, the world is not monolithic. Of course there are people in Gaul who dislike the organization, and there are even insiders who put the blame for Gaul's losses on them.
Otherwise, they wouldn't think of changing places.
Now that the place has been changed, let’s just change it thoroughly and change the people involved.
It was only then that Cheng Xue connected to Lin Shiqin's communication.
"Sister, did you just come to see me for something? I was working on something and didn't reply."
After Cheng Xue quickly changed and loaded into the car, she drove away and pressed the earphones.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's okay now. You did a good job."
"Haha, at first I thought you would say that what I did was too bloody and too noisy."
There was an elegant curve at the corner of Cheng Xue's mouth. After many improvements, her current body was already a very hot beauty.
It just looks a little sick when you smile.
"Actually, I contacted you just to make the situation more obvious. They tried to kidnap the boss again before. This is considered a retaliation."
"You laughed so hard that you even kidnapped the boss..."
"The boss is a great scientist after all."
"Ah, yes, yes, what's the next step? Continue to South Korea?"
"Let's go to Neon Bar first. Maybe the boss will come there after giving a lecture."
"I understand. Since the boss will go, should I change to a more aggressive one? Does he like it?~"
"I actually think this is pretty good now..."
……
Paris, murder scene.
A group of Gallic agents looked at the conference room that was shot through and felt a little helpless.
"This weapon must be the hand pulled by Ambre..."
One of the detectives sighed while taking photos at the scene.
"This group of people seems to be of high status, but we don't have any information. They may be members of the mysterious organization that Umbrella has been exposing. I didn't expect that they really exist."
Another person looked a little helpless while carefully putting some broken bones into the evidence bag.
"Although I am disgusted with this mysterious organization, they are the ones who caused us to be like this, but it is too rude to do this in broad daylight, and it is sneaky."
At first, the detective who took the photo seemed a little sad.
"Maybe they gave the warning deliberately."
“But this is too disrespectful to us, because the authorities have been actively promoting EU bills recently.”
"Well, I think as long as they don't shoot us in the street, it shouldn't be considered a loss of face."
"..."
Thinking about it, it seems like this is really the case. Can they in Gaul guard against this kind of thing?
Let's break through the bodyguards as well.
Okay, let's just talk to death, and the detectives at the scene can only continue to deal with the aftermath in silence.
I hope that after this incident, they won’t come to Paris for a secret gathering next time. They can’t put it together completely, so it’s hard to clean up...
If Umbrella had done this in broad daylight before, these agents would have been filled with indignation.
But now, think about it, after all the more exaggerated things happened before, the few people here who have nothing to do with their family will die if they die...
Then Paris officials held a press conference.
Obviously all clues point to Umbrella doing this, but the press conference said
"According to on-site exploration and the analysis of some experts, it may be that a small amount of solid meteorite fragments just passed through here, which is really regrettable..."
In fact, it was nothing at first. All aspects of this matter wanted to suppress it.
But the good news is that a young couple from China who traveled to Paris happened to live opposite the hotel and saw almost the whole process.
Although the shooting scene was not captured on video, the hole in the wall and the subsequent investigation were all captured across the street.
With the cameras now powered by Umbrella technology, it's crystal clear.
They were also clever and didn't show it when they were in Gaul.
When I returned to China, I cooperated with Gaul's press conference to make a big splash.
The netizens in China were immediately delighted.
"Obviously they are talking about business seriously, but the pictures that go with the news here are really a comedy."
"The meteorites have been removed, so the Gaul Foreign Legion was also killed by meteorites."
"It turns out that Umbrella has Liu Xiu..."
"You're talking nonsense! You're talking about business in a serious manner. This is just Gaul's despicable means of self-promotion, just to attract fans and grab traffic."
"So that's it, you are worthy of being the number one anchor in charge of goods."
"The effect of relying on reversals to hype up one's own popularity is really impressive."
"Our big anchors should study hard!"
"..."
Chapter 467
In a laboratory with various sophisticated equipment, a group of people gathered here were silent at this time. In the dim lights, only the projector in front was constantly playing various pictures.
At this time, all the researchers were looking at the previous loops repeatedly, pausing from time to time.
These scenes are mainly the video of Umbrella's live broadcast of the group's destruction of the Gallic Foreign Legion, as well as some subsequent photos taken at the scene.
Now, the live photos of this time in Paris have also been added.
After going through it again, the person in charge of the laboratory also sighed
"Their materials science, with the blessing of magic power, has reached a level that we cannot understand."
“The gap in materials is really huge!”
"FXX! With these things, a dog can spell it out!"
"It's difficult. I'm currently trying to crack their technology, and I found that except for artificial intelligence, most of them rely on brute force of materials. The design principle is actually not that difficult. It's really a headache."
"The higher-ups have given orders, and the funds have not been stingy. Let's do it..."
But at this moment, an experimental assistant outside forgot to knock on the door and rushed in, making the researchers here feel a little dissatisfied.
"What's going on? How unbecoming is it to be so flustered!"
Being yelled at suddenly, the assistant couldn't help but get excited, and then he lowered his head and said
"Professor Wang, winner of the Fields and Turing Awards, has started giving lectures. One of my classmates happens to be studying there, sneaked into the venue, and is now recording a live broadcast for me..."
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt his shoulders being firmly grasped by a pair of big hands, and the doctor's bloodshot eyes appeared in front of him, as if he was about to turn into a zombie, which frightened him.
"Where is it?! Take it out for me quickly!"
……
On the other side, the Academy of Sciences.
Now that Wang Yi is back, he will naturally give back to his alma mater occasionally.
Although he came by invitation this time, there were no restrictions on him. As long as he could come, he could say whatever he wanted.
Purely non-academic chicken soup for the soul is fine.
Some words just depend on who says them. Anyway, what Wang Yi says now will definitely be considered over and over again, and many of them will soon become famous quotes.
In fact, Wang Yi does not reject such lectures. He occasionally publishes papers related to magic numbers through Lin Shiqin to improve the overall level of magic numbers in the academic world.
After everyone's relevant abilities are improved, the help they can bring to him will also be greater!
He has received considerable benefits.
Now sometimes Wang Yi doesn't need to be deliberately guided. Some related extended papers and research can inspire him.
It can be said that some of Umbrella's new products, as well as some of Wang Yi's own new spells, even the experiments on Enzo, and the construction of the mage tower over the abyss rift, have all been integrated by him a lot.
During the time he came back, although he was in a state without magic power, Wang Yi thought that in terms of realm and strength alone, he had improved at least several times!
It's not about his size, but his skill in applying some rules.
Mage does not rely on size to win, knowledge itself represents power!
If the size is not enough, use the linkage of mage towers, portable mage towers, summoned beasts and even floating cities to make up for it.
Therefore, when it comes to improving the overall academic atmosphere and magic number foundation of Blue Star, Wang Yi has actually never had much to hide.
Some bold mathematicians emailed to ask questions, and he usually responded.
Lin Shiqin will also automatically reply what she can solve by herself.
Under this circumstance, the lecture he gave this time when he returned to his alma mater was also allowed to be recorded.
Not recording to him, but to some of the demo drafts he put out.
In fact, most people now understand that this great scientist doesn't like to have his private life disturbed and almost never leaves the country...
"This time, let's talk about some interesting information. It's some intelligence from Umbrella."
Wang Yi has never concealed his relationship with Umbrella, and it is precisely because of this generosity that although there have been minor troubles like before at the seaside, there are more benefits.
The words he said this time caused a burst of exclamation in the venue.
But no one found it strange. On the contrary, many people had excited expressions on their faces.
Since Wang Yi chose to give this lecture at his alma mater, naturally many students from this school occupied the seats.
A few were handed over to international friends, and some recordings were also approved by default.
For students, it is obvious that Umbrella's secret is more interesting than the original academic lecture.
Because many of Wang Yi's academic lectures are incomprehensible to ordinary students.
Although some of the international friends who finally got in were a little disappointed, they were also interested.
Now that everyone is here, take advantage of the question-and-answer period to raise your doubts. Generally speaking, Professor Wang's previous lectures will help answer questions.
Now that the matter involves Umbrella, of course there is no harm in hearing it!
After beating up Gaul, and now starting to negotiate some acquisition details with Neon, what kind of thing Umbrella is has gradually been revealed...
"The main reason was the alien creature I encountered in the sea last time. In fact, everyone should also know that one of the reasons why I went in that direction that time was to relax. The other reason was actually because of the previous I was going to the cruise ship that had the accident, but I didn’t expect to meet him on the way..."
It has been determined that the cause of that incident came from the alien meteorite in 2014. In fact, major research institutions in various countries have still not stopped studying the obtained alien corpses.
We often hold seminars together and exchange information with each other.
This time Wang Yi suddenly said this, does it mean that Umbrella has made new research progress on the alien creature?
"Although I only know a little bit about biology, mainly to assist with algorithms, Umbrella's experiment found that the alien creature's body still retains some activity through some external magic stimulation tests. , and..., sending out weak signals..."
If Wang Yi throws it out at the beginning, a big one will come directly.
Is that dismembered body of an alien creature still alive after all this time?
And what does it mean that a signal is being emitted?
"Of course, according to Umbrella's current test results, the signal emitted by this creature's corpse is still quite weak. However, the signal itself is also integrated with magical properties, and the transmission distance may be very long, and it may not be powerful when it is alive. It will be stronger. It cannot be ruled out that the coordinates of the earth have been captured by this kind of thing..."
If it were before, Wang Yi might have caused some trouble if he broke the news so directly.
The West, led by the beautiful lady, will definitely come back to its specialty of moral kidnapping and double standards.
The two sides have gone back and forth in this regard many times, but I still enjoy it.
But this time, Gao Lu had just been stabbed, and his blood had not yet solidified.
There is also an oolong incident of "meteorite death".
In this case, Wang Yi explained and solved all the troubles that might arise.
This is why Wang Yi takes some vaccinations in advance to give him a heads up.
Don't let everyone be too surprised if there is an alien invasion or something...
Chapter 468: Race against time
Earth coordinates captured!
After experiencing a baptism of information and speculation, and the fact that most of the students present were more imaginative, the entire venue was filled with exclamations of exclamation.
Many people started asking questions directly
"Professor Wang, how likely is it that the coordinates may be captured?"
"Is this creature entering the starry sky on its own?"
"What is their overall ability?"
"Do you think there is a threat?"
"..."
Humanity's own exploration of space is still in its earliest stages.
If any civilization could reach the earth from outside the solar system, the gap between the two sides would be huge!
It's completely impossible to fight!
Wang Yi seemed to be aware of the concerns of these students. He coughed and cleared the microphone, causing the scene to become quiet.
Then he continued
"If the corpse's activity has a weak signal, it will most likely be transmitted far away when it is alive. But don't worry, the transmission of the signal also takes time. In addition, since this kind of creature landed in a meteorite, it will not Excluding some special phenomena caused by super volcano eruptions and crustal movements, if there is a second similar visitor, then our position has probably been captured..."
Wang Yi's meaning is also very obvious. The universe is very big and has endless possibilities.
But if you encounter the same possibility twice, it is no longer a coincidence.
"Moreover, even if they really have the ability to travel between stars, there is no need to worry too much. At least for now, the technology tree of this group of people is very crooked, and there is a high probability that it is not an incoming fleet.
"Besides, based on the scale of the universe, if they don't master navigation technologies such as curvature and wormholes, they will have to travel through a long galaxy to come. The time it takes is incalculable. How far they can come is also a question mark. And first of all, We need to determine what resources we have on earth that are worthy of their expense to come all the way here..."
Of course, Wang Yi would not go out of his way to spread panic after blowing the wind, but would still want to comfort him.
Everyone's words will have different effects, but Wang Yi's soothing effect is obviously still very obvious. At least the scene has stabilized temporarily, and many people feel relieved.
Others laughed self-deprecatingly, as if their family really had nothing to worry about.
What resources do people have if they can carry out star navigation?
Then some students joked
"That's right. Even if there is an alien invasion, the pretty ones will be the first to attack."
"Ah, yes, yes, when it really affects us, I'm afraid it will be the time for the world to fall."
"..."
Generally speaking, Wang Yi's open discussion completely achieved his purpose.
Not only do we plant some preventive vaccines first, but we also lay the foundation for some of Umbrella's future plans to enter space!
While Penglai is working hard, some superconducting materials have been accumulated, and the construction of the first mass projector has begun...
……
NASA, the Big Beautiful Aeronautics and Space Administration.
At this time, a group of people, including Masla and some engineers, gathered together and replayed Wang Yi's lecture.
"Professor William, you have also obtained some of the corpses for research. Can you confirm their story?"
In the end, the alien corpse was salvaged by rabbits.
Rabbit has always been more concerned about reputation, so it divided the corpses into fruits. All major countries received the shares, as well as companies like Umbrella, which are outstanding in biological research and development.
The pretty girl also got a piece of her ass.
Professor William, who was asked, sighed and slowly said while watching the video in front
"Although we can't do a magic test with Umbrella, the activity of this creature's corpse is indeed unparalleled. Now we have always suspected that some cells are missing in the sea. As long as there is a living cell, it can first act like Microorganisms also feed and develop, and finally grow..."
After saying this, Professor William paused for a moment before continuing
"So I agree with Professor Yi's inference. Whether it is him or Umbrella, they have never made any technical mistakes. The rest is what you need to consider."
After hearing Professor William's approval, the person in charge of NASA also felt a little pressure.
Now the Congress needs to come up with a plan first.
Isn’t it the military’s business to deal with aliens? Why do you want to get your own plan!
"Masla, how is the situation with your rocket over there? Did the last test launch fail again?"
"Recently, we have replaced several materials with resins grown in culture media. The reliability has been greatly improved, and it is expected to be successfully tested next month."
Masla also regained his confidence at this time.
Recyclable rockets!
Once he succeeds, the price of mass delivery in low orbit will be reduced to an incredible level, and soon, SX Rocket Company's satellites will fill the sky!
After hearing this, the person in charge of NASA finally felt good news.
Although due to thrust issues, we can only launch repeatedly to low orbits for the time being, the vast majority of satellites are currently placed in low orbits for cost-effectiveness, and the same is true for space stations.
The key is that after starting from 0 to 1, it is possible to develop recyclable heavy-lift rockets in the future, and space missions will no longer be an expensive expense.
The plan that Masla came up with at the beginning did seem a bit funny.
In order to reduce costs, every possible means is used, such as methane as cheap fuel and direct iron welding on the rocket surface.
But after trying again and again, I finally succeeded.
Although it is currently impossible to launch anything that is too heavy, the unit cost has been reduced, and it has dropped dramatically!
If the quality is not enough, you can make up the quantity!
"But there is a question that I think I still need to mention."
"Say it."
"During the last press conference of the Red Queen, the Red Queen was asked to design a rocket launch drawing when testing the Red Queen. We looked at it and found that it is actually very similar to our rocket, and it is more simplified. Now we have some reference for our modifications. Got the drawing.”
Masra's words made the person in charge of NASA frown.
"You mean, Umbrella might also be working on this recyclable rocket?"
"They don't have their own satellite system yet. I think Umbrella's character will not allow herself to be controlled by others all the time, even if they have a good relationship with Rabbit."
Masla put himself in Umbrella's shoes and found that satellites were definitely one of the problems Umbrella needed to solve the most!
Umbrella has a sea city, and methane is definitely one of the easiest minerals to obtain under the sea. Under strong water pressure, it is almost everywhere.
"Recently, someone has indeed taken pictures of what is being built in Penglai, maybe it is a rocket launcher. Then, if you continue to speed up, I will find a way to apply for some subsidies."
"No problem, rocket technology is not so easy to break through. Just like Umbrella still needs to buy an airplane for modification, their speed is definitely not as fast as mine..."
Having said this, Masla smiled confidently and continued
"Perhaps my recyclable rocket looks very simple, and it is not a very advanced thing. It can be conquered by giving them time, but we can use this time difference to occupy all low-satellite orbits!
"When they start launching, they will find that my star chain has filled the sky! We are racing against time..."
Masla's ability to predict is quite strong, and he has already planned it when he makes a decision!
At the beginning, Dameili had a space shuttle plan, and wanted to keep repeating the trip to reduce costs, but finally gave up.
Masra also learned the lessons and experience from the failure of the space shuttle, so he formulated the current plan.
Once the plan is successful, the price of launching satellites can drop to tens of dollars per kilogram, directly enabling mass production of launches!
This technology is said to be complicated, but in fact it is not that complicated. However, various data can only be obtained repeatedly through continuous trial and error. This is the same as the accuracy of machine tools, which takes time to settle!
He knows that after he succeeds, there will definitely be imitators, and because there is no critical threshold, imitators will be able to achieve similar goals and effects sooner or later.
But...
There are only so many low-orbit satellites.
As long as you seize the opportunity, all the tracks will be yours!
——————
Update completed~
There is no doubt about Lao Ma’s ability. His purpose has always been clear, which is to occupy as many low orbits as possible before the emergence of the second re-launchable company.
As long as there is no space available in low orbit, it will really be Starlink turning into Star Shield. Now it is indeed a matter of scrambling for time. Both sides are scrambling, and only both sides are scrambling. The EU and Maozi have been abolished.
