Chapter 1078: Drive Well
Several days have passed since the military operation of Star Ring Trade to wipe out the Brood Nest. The White House and the Pentagon have held more than ten meetings of various sizes surrounding Star Ring Trade.
"...I don't care what method you use, within three days I will see DARPA establish a project for the research and development of power armor and separate it from the mechanical exoskeleton project. Don't worry about budget issues. I will talk to Congress. According to According to the opinion of the Minister of National Defense, this power armor is tentatively positioned as the fulcrum of firepower for infantry teams. In addition to having an ammunition load of at least 50 kilograms and three nuclear, biological and chemical defense functions, it must also have the ability to absolutely protect ammunition below 12.7mm caliber..."
At this moment, in a small conference room in the White House, Hillary and the Director of DARPA had a private meeting.
DARPA is the abbreviation of the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and is known as the real-life version of S.H.I.E.L.D. DARPA’s influence can be seen in many national defense and aerospace projects, including the Faraday spray that suppresses EMP weapons, which is a product jointly designed by DARPA and Lockheed Martin.
Starring Trade is already ahead of the United States in defense technology, and Hillary has to place her hope in DARPA.
After carefully writing down Hillary's request, the DARPA director twirled the ballpoint pen twice and tapped the tip of his nose lightly on the notebook.
"We will proceed with the establishment of the project as soon as possible. Lockheed Martin has made good progress in the research of mechanical exoskeletons, and we have ready-made technical resources that can be used. In addition, I suggest that we start negotiations with the German side and take a look. Can you get information about the improved version of the 'Lightning' exoskeleton from the Krupp Group? They obviously already have the prototype of power armor, but they are still slightly lacking in design."
"I'll let Kerry talk about it," Hillary said.
After exchanging some opinions with the president's wife on details, the DARPA director closed his notebook and stood up to leave.
There are still several meetings waiting for him after he returns. He must prepare the plan within two days in order to catch up with the Congressional Budget Committee hearing on the third day. This kind of R&D project involving hundreds of millions of dollars cannot be decided by him alone.
When he walked to the door and was about to open it, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a White House assistant walked in with a document.
"Mrs. President."
Hillary looked at her assistant and asked seriously.
"What's up?"
"The President of New Zealand sent us an invitation letter." Walking next to Hillary,
The assistant put the document on the table and said, "We are invited to attend the Outer Space Security Summit on June 15th."
"Outer Space Security Summit?" Hillary sneered, causing the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes to wrinkle.
Starring Trade still has the nerve to hold an outer space security summit? Who is using space resources for weapons development?
"Write me a tactful rejection letter and say that the United States regrets that Star Ring Trade violates the Outer Space Treaty. It will not start high-level bilateral relations with New Country until Star Ring Trade and New Country explain this." talks."
"Yes." The assistant nodded, turned and left.
Leaning on the chair, Hillary rubbed the corners of her tired eyes.
There was another meeting in ten minutes, and just when she was about to take a nap during her busy schedule, she suddenly noticed the invitation out of the corner of her eye.
After hesitating for a moment, in line with the principle of diplomatic etiquette, she reached out and took out the invitation letter from the document bag.
After roughly scanning the two lines of words, Hillary caught a certain keyword and was immediately stunned.
"Extraterrestrial civilization?"
Reading down the text on the invitation, Hillary's expression kept changing.
When she read the last line, she threw the invitation on the table, stood up immediately, and hurried out of the door.
…
In the early morning of June 1st, a Gulfstream passenger plane landed at the Coro City Airport.
Surrounded by a group of bodyguards, Jiang Chen yawned through the special passage and came to his Rulka car. After the bodyguards opened the door, he sat in the passenger seat. Ayesha, who was sitting in the driver's seat, started the car skillfully. After reaching the initial speed, she pressed the button to start the magnetic levitation device, and the car flew steadily.
Now the main traffic arteries in the center of Koro City have been modified with maglev systems, and almost half of the private cars are floating in the air. The constant flow of traffic complements the neon lights on both sides of the street. Against the background of high-rise buildings and thousands of lights, the entire city is like a bright pearl, dreamy and beautiful.
It’s hard to imagine what it was like four years ago.
In the car, Jiang Chen unexpectedly received a call from Warner Brothers.
Christopher Nolan, who had worked with him in the past, contacted him and said that Warner Bros. was very interested in putting the battle between humans and alien species on a "bigger" screen, and asked him to inquire about Jiang Chen's story. , to see if Star Circle Trading could provide some assistance during filming.
Considering the positive publicity significance of Star Ring Trade, Jiang Chen readily accepted Warner Bros.'s proposal, saying that as long as Star Ring Trade plays a positive image in the drama, Star Ring Trade can provide free assistance in filming.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen put away the holographic screen and stretched. After taking two flights in a row, he still had not completely overcome the jet lag, and now he was feeling dizzy.
Ayesha glanced at Jiang Chen with some distress, and whispered with concern.
"How about over there in Finland?"
"It's not bad, I'm just a little busy with work."
"Have you met Natasha?"
"We met before we got on the plane. She invited me to dinner." Jiang Chen turned his face and smiled at Ayesha who was concentrating on driving. He lowered his hand from the top of his head and hugged her slender and toned waist. . "Don't always ask me, what about you? Did you miss me these days when I was gone?"
Ayesha whispered with her cheeks slightly red.
"I think about it every day."
Feeling the dishonest behavior of that big hand, Ayesha twisted her body awkwardly, but did not resist at all.
Jiang Chen is not worried at all if there is a traffic accident. Maglev driving can be said to be more than ten times safer than driving on the road. Tracks at specific heights are restricted by intelligent programs and can only maintain a specific speed. After entering the highest cruising track, you can completely leave your hands. The steering wheel leaves full control of driving to the intelligent program.
At first, Jiang Chen just held her waist, but soon he started to push further.
However, the little sheep was so docile that the big hand kept moving upward...
Biting her lower lip, she could no longer suppress the emotions in her heart. With her face flushed, Ayesha drove the car onto the cruising track and completely handed over the driving to the intelligent driving system. Her hands completely left the steering wheel, like loaches. He deftly turned over and sat astride Jiang Chen's lap.
Putting her arm around Jiang Chen's neck, Ayesha blinked her big clear eyes and looked directly at him with her sapphire-like eyes. Being stared at like this made Jiang Chen, who had always been dishonest before, feel a little embarrassed.
"Uh, drive well -"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Chen's lips were blocked by hot and petite lips. The smooth, tender little snake broke through the teeth and got in. A pair of cold and gentle hands went down his strong arms. Wander...
Separated by the dark glass, the colorful street scene flew past the two of them.
Under this situation, everything seemed to fall into place naturally.
Jiang Chen felt that the fatigue he had accumulated over the past few days was gradually dissipating with the body temperature of his skin.
In the bright night, a show of speed and passion is being shown... (To be continued.) New website activated
