Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 40 Strategic Weapons

At this moment, the main body of the neutrino telescope is still under construction.

It looks like a huge sphere, with a diameter of 24 meters.

This means it is a full eight stories high. Its cross-sectional area is over 450 square meters, larger than a basketball court.

This enormous sphere has now been built to a height of about 20 meters, and it will be topped off in four more meters.

Inside, hundreds of specialized welding workers, dressed in full protective suits, are intently welding steel plates.

This is the main pressure-bearing part of the telescope. It not only has extremely high purity and very low contamination of pure water, but also has extremely high compressive strength, enough to seal a full 50,000 tons of water inside.

More workers are busy on the already welded steel plates.

They installed pipes, cables, sensors, coolers, and other components on it.

Among these components, the most important is the photomultiplier tube. It is another core component of the neutrino telescope besides pure water.

Beyond that are the refrigerators, which are responsible for cooling the pure water to extremely low temperatures, minimizing any internal thermal movement.

The vast underground base was bustling with activity, but everything was orderly and orderly.

Because the Heavenly Secrets System has been connected to every engineering team, and even to every worker.

Every worker clearly knows what they should be doing at that moment, how long they should be working, and how long they should rest, eat, and so on.

Just like soldiers on the battlefield.

This information was clearly presented to Gu Changshan of Doomsday Base 7, allowing him to know that the construction of the neutrino telescope base was now on track.

All the technical challenges have been resolved. All that remains is to maintain the investment of resources and manpower; there are no longer any insurmountable obstacles.

Completing the construction on schedule is a foreseeable goal.

His attention shifted to another location, the Qinghu Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, where he obtained the same result.

Similarly, based on China's vast industrial chain covering all sectors, and with mobilization regardless of cost or investment, all obstacles have been overcome, and construction is progressing steadily.

Meanwhile, the Luohong Neutrino Telescope, which is already in operation in China, has completed its reception by a dedicated team.

With domestic matters settled, it's time to move on to overseas matters.

Five neutrino telescopes, three gravitational wave telescopes... must be incorporated into the observation network and directly connected to the Arctic 4 supercomputer to share all observation data in real time.

Only in this way can we hope to collect enough data within the short two-minute observation window between the end of the world and Jiang Yang's death, so as to send crucial intelligence to the next life.

Sun Changhe's message arrived later.

"A press conference will be held in an hour."

……

Jingle bell bell bell…

On the other side of the world, in a core building, Daniel Wilson, the intelligence center director, was comfortably lounging with his legs crossed, casually scrolling through his phone, when he was startled awake by a rapid ringing.

"damn it……"

He muttered something and reluctantly picked up the phone, only to hear a voice full of urgency, even a bit nervous and confused: "Daniel, turn on the TV, channel 5, quick!"

"You better show me something interesting, or you're fucking dead!" Daniel paused for a moment after turning on Channel 5.

This is a live broadcast of a press conference. The organizer is... which Eastern country?
There hasn't been much activity there lately.

Daniel glanced at the title again, his body jolted, and his eyes widened instantly.

"A long-range intercontinental ballistic missile test launch? The launch trajectory was..."

Cold sweat instantly beaded on Daniel's forehead.

He clearly saw the missile launch diagram prominently displayed during the press conference. It showed that this time, the intercontinental ballistic missile's launch trajectory would pass directly over the European and American continents and then strike a point in international waters in the Atlantic Ocean, with a total range of approximately 1.4 kilometers.

This guy is insane!
For nuclear weapons, namely atomic and hydrogen bombs, the most important thing is not whether they can be built, but whether they have the capability to deliver them.

No matter how large your hydrogen bomb yield is, without a delivery method, it can only explode on your own territory at most. Who can you scare?

Therefore, missiles are the key. And intercontinental ballistic missiles are undoubtedly at the pinnacle of missiles, possessing the strongest deterrent power without question.

These are truly national strategic assets. Each intercontinental ballistic missile has the strategic power to influence the course of a war and affect the world as a whole!

Correspondingly, each intercontinental ballistic missile test launch is of great significance and has a clear strategic purpose.

However, while the international situation has not eased recently, there doesn't seem to be anything that would warrant a country testing an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Especially the launch trajectory of this intercontinental ballistic missile...

Passing directly over the continents of America and Europe? Traversing 26 countries?
Have those yellow-skinned monkeys gone mad?

This is a fucking provocation, an insult!

Although it passed through at an altitude of over 1000 kilometers, it was just passing through—but who the hell can guarantee that this thing won't suddenly fall down?
The initiative is in their hands!
No country would accept such provocation and insult!

Most importantly, they even held a press conference, openly and without any concealment announcing the news to the world, including the launch time, impact point, trajectory, and all other information.

They announced it without consulting any other countries beforehand!

The phone rang again. He answered it immediately, his voice trembling slightly: "Yes, yes."

Following five consecutive emergency internal meetings, an international joint conference was convened.

Representatives from more than 30 countries, including the 26 countries whose missile trajectory passed through and other friendly nations, attended the meeting.

"This is absolutely unacceptable."

This is a major threat to our national security, a provocation of war, and a huge insult to national dignity.

I propose that we jointly issue a formal protest and representation to them!

The resolution was quickly adopted. Less than 10 hours after the press conference, a document signed by multiple countries, containing warnings and protests, was sent out.

Daniel believed that, based on past patterns and his understanding of those yellow-skinned monkeys, they would realize the seriousness of the matter and sense his resolve, thus stopping the matter.

The reply arrived quickly.

Daniel opened the file, his eyes widening in disbelief.

"Our purpose this time is merely to test the waters and ensure international peace. It is not directed against any specific country or force. We suggest that you do not be too sensitive about this."
