Chapter 592 Quantum Communication Satellite Lifts Off!
A deserted island south of Anga. ,
Leaving behind the billowing smoke, the rocket of the Starlink trade headed for the clear blue sky.
With the launch of this rocket, it also marks the official launch of the first quantum communication satellite in the new country and even all mankind. Of course, the public does not know the true nature of this satellite, and Starlink Trade did not make any explanations for the use of "non-classical information transfer quantum communication technology" on the satellite, but generally said that the satellite used innovative technology, making Access ii service.
"I really didn't expect that I'm standing in this ghost place again, watching you play rockets."
Henry, an observer of the United Nations International Aviation Organization, is wearing sunglasses at the moment, standing outside the rocket launch site, looking at the empty launch pad with boredom.
It is obviously February, but the air of Koro Island has already brought the taste of summer solstice. And this heat is especially obvious on this island close to the equator. Seeing that there were no media around, Henry took off his suit and hooked it on his arm.
"There are 24 launches a year. If you think it's too much money, you might as well donate some to the Red Cross."
"Of course I am also doing charity. As for the Red Cross, I don't have that much spare money." Jiang Chen teased.
The Red Cross has a bad reputation in China, and it is no secret internationally. Any "imported product", whether it is an advanced commodity or an idea or concept, will have some good or bad variations in the process of localization. So for Jiang Chen's ridicule. The Protestant Henry, who spends part of his salary every month to do good deeds, just snorted and didn't say much on this issue.
"Every time I land on this small island, I have the illusion of being exiled by civilized society." Watching the rocket take off. Watching the smoke column dissipate, Henry muttered to himself.
"You should feel lucky. Because this is the center of the future universe for human beings."
"Just here." Henry pointed to the bare gravel under his feet, and sarcastically said, "Unless the future of human beings is drying salted fish on the beach."
Jiang Chen could understand the resentment in Henry's heart. After all, if it wasn't for Xinguo's launch plan throughout the year, he wouldn't have been transferred from bustling Washington to live here. Twice a month staring at that smoke column in a daze.
However, the idea of drying salted fish inexplicably hit Jiang Chen's point of laughter.
So Jiang Chen patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly.
"Then you'll be on vacation in Hawaii in the Western Pacific,
Although this vacation may be a bit long. Enjoy the hospitality of a five-star hotel every day. If I were you, I wouldn't complain so much. "
Henry glanced at Jiang Chen, turned and walked towards the port.
It has been confirmed that today's launch plan has nothing to do with intercontinental missiles. Half of his work this month has been completed, so there is no need to stay on this island anymore. He just wanted to hurry to the hotel where he was staying, change into clean clothes, and go to the bar to drink two glasses of cold beer.
The travel budget given to him by the United Nations was only enough for him to live quickly, but the Star Ring Trade did not treat him badly. Not only did he arrange his accommodation in the headquarters building of the Future Group, but he also provided three meals for him, and even gave him a monthly bus subsidy of 50,000 US dollars.
fifty thousand dollars. enough to buy a nice car
Regarding Jiang Chen's win over, Henry was a little reluctant at first, but later accepted it calmly. After all, two reports are written every month. It's still tiring for him. As for the satellites involved in the Star Ring trade, he just turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, omitting the inspection procedure for key components, and directly filled in the form with general items such as "conventional commercial communication satellites" .
Anyway, in his opinion, it is impossible for such a large cube to carry any dangerous combat parts.
And the structure of the rocket has nothing to do with intercontinental missiles.
Originally, it was just that the Philippines had some criticisms about the launch plan of Singapore. Since the Mindanao missile crisis, the United States and its allies have also started to make irresponsible remarks about the launch plan of Singapore.
The first thing after the peace agreement took effect. The United States has put pressure on the new country through the United Nations, requiring Starlink Trading to announce the number of intercontinental missiles. And report the number of all submarine missile wells.
Of course, Jiang Chen would not agree to this, and proposed corresponding conditions. Unless the United States announces the coordinates of all its domestic intercontinental missile deployments, the Star Ring trade will never disclose any information about submarine missile wells.
Are you kidding me?
I told you everything, how to play this game
Later, the United States made a new request for negotiations, asking the new country to provide strong evidence to prove that it does not possess weapons of mass destruction, such as the pathogen of the t-virus.
This is difficult to prove unless UN observers disassemble each warhead and examine it.
Xinguo's response to this is also very direct. The virus vaccine is exactly the research and development of the future human biology of the Xinguo enterprise. As the main contributor to the fight against the t-virus, Xinguo rejects the illogical accusations made by the US.
Illogical is indeed illogical.
After all, the content of that negotiation was kept secret from the outside world, and the United States was unable to produce strong evidence to prove that Starlink Trade had used the virus as a bargaining chip and threatened him at the negotiating table. But then again, even if there is evidence, the United States will never admit that it has chosen to compromise to some extent and betrayed the interests of the Philippines.
But even so, the white paper of the US Department of Defense still did not include the new country as a key object of care. After all, no matter what, this small country with a population of just over 30,000 is still too small. Even if the situation in the region is a bit violent, it does not constitute an impact on American hegemony at all.
What the United States is really worried about is that Xinguo will move closer to Huaguo.
If such a thing really happens, the island chain they have painstakingly built in the South China Sea will cease to exist. But for now, it seems that Xinguo has no plans in this regard. Although space activities are unusually ordinary, it has not concealed the launch procedure, which also reassures the US Department of Defense a lot.
But don't worry, don't worry, the White House still maintains the most basic vigilance against the new country with intercontinental missile launch technology. The frequency of ia activities on Koro Island has obviously increased, in order to search for weapons of mass destruction that do not exist at all
The second launch mission was a success without any suspense.
After bidding farewell to Henry, Jiang Chen saw that it was getting late, so he canceled his plan to visit the Future Group.
Sitting in the car at home, Aisha reported to Jiang Chen about the work of the Security Bureau.
"Among the American tourists who traveled to Koro Island this month, it has been confirmed that two are ia agents, or at least employed by ia."
"Are you sure there is spying?"
"Not yet." Aisha shook her head.
"Then keep an eye on it for now. Compared with the people in ia, I am actually more concerned about the situation in Tokyo. Is there any result of the investigation of Takeda Pharmaceutical?"
"Not yet." Aisha lowered her head regretfully, "We didn't find the name Yoshihiro Tanaka in the staff list."
"Is that so? It seems that they have done a good job of keeping the secrets secret." Looking at the passing street scene outside the car window, Jiang Chen said casually.
This can only illustrate two possibilities. One is that Takeda Pharmaceutical has nothing to do with the Black Ship Organization, but it is absolutely impossible at this time. Another situation is somewhat dangerous, that is, the cooperation between Takeda Pharmaceutical and the Black Ship Organization, with the participation of the Japanese government. After all, as far as confidentiality measures are concerned, it is really a bit of a violation for a private company to achieve such a level regardless of cost.
"I will send more people"
"No need." Jiang Chen shook his head, paused and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, they will have a new move soon. Your main task now is to ensure the national security of the new country and prevent the black ship organization. Infiltrate into the country. At this point, the soldiers of the Star Ring Trade can cooperate with you."
"Understood." Aisha nodded seriously.
The stinger missile and the virus that sacrificed a city have fully demonstrated the organization's determination to kill him.
However, Jiang Chen didn't feel the slightest timidity.
Just kidding, he has never encountered any death threats in the end of the world, let alone zombies, he doesn't know how many Roshan and mutants died in his hands. Even the more dangerous Death Claws he has faced head-on, and he is also afraid of a few little rats who are stalking the ball to be continued.
