Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 59 Original Sin
On the other side of the world, in a core building, intelligence chief Daniel Wilson looked grim and hurried along.

He arrived at his boss's office with a stack of documents in his hand.

"Dear Mr. Locke, through extensive intelligence gathering, we have confirmed that the Eastern country has indeed carried out a full-scale industrial mobilization."

However, we cannot yet confirm the ultimate purpose of this industrial mobilization.

A thoughtful expression appeared on Vice Speaker Locke's deeply lined face.

"Full-scale industrial mobilization... those damn yellow-skinned monkeys, are they planning a world war?"

In any case, this poses a serious threat to our own camp.

In the current international situation, what that Eastern country ultimately wants to do is not important. What is important is whether they have the capability to threaten us.

If they have such a problem, then it is their original sin, and we must come up with a solution.

"Let's convene an international joint conference."

"Yes."

Shortly afterward, Director Daniel accompanied Vice Speaker Locke to the online conference room.

On the giant screen, officials from the other countries in their own camp all wore solemn expressions.

Vice Speaker Locke glanced at the attendees, slightly surprised.

"Representatives from countries like FL and DM are not present?"

Daniel whispered, "I just received a notification from the representatives of these countries that there are major unforeseen events in their countries that prevent them from attending this meeting."

"FUCK".

Locke muttered a curse under his breath and ignored the matter. Instead, he solemnly addressed the attendees on the screen: "Maintaining the current international situation and upholding world peace is the inescapable responsibility of our civilized camp."

Now, that Eastern country is implementing a full-scale industrial mobilization, a move that seriously threatens the peace situation. We have a responsibility and an obligation to intervene…

……

Thousands of kilometers away, from a magnificent palace, melodious music can be heard continuously.

The masters of art performed with great passion on stage, while below, well-dressed people sat upright, occasionally clapping softly, expressing their appreciation without making any noise that would disturb the performance.

An elegant and noble atmosphere permeated the palace.

When the song ended, thunderous applause erupted.

A man in his forties stood up, walked onto the stage, and took the initiative to shake hands with the artists.

"Thank you, Mr. President."

"It is an honor to perform for you."

The man addressed as president gracefully expressed his gratitude, then said to the guests, "Today is a major holiday for our country, and we gather here to look forward to a bright future..."

After he finally stepped down from the stage, his secretary leaned close to his ear with a grave expression and whispered quickly, "Mr. President, Director Daniel expressed serious dissatisfaction with our absence from this meeting. At the same time, intelligence indicates that the country is indeed conducting a nationwide industrial mobilization."

He was filled with confusion.

Despite the significant threat to national security, the president still has the audacity to hold a musical celebration here.

If that country's industrial mobilization is directed at its own country, the consequences would be unimaginable.

The president, still smiling, shook hands with a guest in a friendly manner before turning to his secretary with a smile. "Dear Secretary Nguyen Le Quang, please tell me, why should we be afraid of this?"

If you were a chicken, you should naturally feel fear when your owner picks up a kitchen knife.

But if you see your owner pick up a machine gun instead of a kitchen knife... then what do you have to worry about?
"Don't worry, why not just enjoy the music?"

The secretary paused slightly, then said, "But Manager Daniel..."

"Why should we, a mere chicken, get involved in the conflict between two giants? Go on, have a few drinks, and get some rest. Everything will be alright."

The president left with a smile, leaving his secretary standing there dumbfounded.

After a long while, he let out a soft breath, and a smile appeared on his face.

……

At this moment, after a long journey of more than ten hours, the first Giant Spirit II heavy-lift carrier rocket has arrived at the launch site.

With the simultaneous operation of several heavy cranes, the rocket, which had been lying on its side the whole way, finally stood up and was firmly secured to the mobile launch pad.

The engineers who had been waiting there used the pre-built tower and giant crane to begin the final pre-launch inspection of the rocket.

This inspection will not be too in-depth, as that would be too time-consuming. This time, we will only conduct some overall and macroscopic checks, as long as there are no obvious faults.

The booster bonding process then began.

Even with such a massive rocket, it is still not feasible to send a lunar probe satellite, which weighs only a little over two tons, into lunar orbit using only this rocket.

This requires the assistance of a booster.

It's called a booster, but it's actually more like a smaller version of a rocket.

Compared to the Giant Spirit II heavy-lift launch vehicle, which has a total height of 62 meters and a diameter of 5.8 meters, this smaller rocket, which acts as a booster, is 33 meters high and about 2.9 meters in diameter.

The four boosters were then connected to the rocket body via pre-reserved fastening interfaces, and special welding engineers immediately began on-site welding work to reinforce them again.

In the vast launch site, just like this rocket, ten other rockets that had just arrived at the launch site were undergoing final checks and assembly.

Ten teams worked together, doing everything possible to save time. Meanwhile, on the road not far away, huge special trucks carrying the same rockets continued to arrive.

One of the rockets first completed a series of tasks, including booster mounting and overall inspection.

So the mobile launch pad carrying it slowly moved along the rails to the side of the equally huge launch pad, securing the towering rocket to the launch pad once again.

Two final steps are required before launch can begin.

Similarly, with the full support of the nation, the first lunar probe satellite, produced after simple modifications based on the existing mature satellite architecture, has been sent to the launch site and is being operated by engineers to place it into the payload bay located at the top of the rocket.

The refueling operation was carried out simultaneously.

The four boosters use liquid oxygen and kerosene as fuel, while the main body of the rocket uses liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, and hydrazine is used for orbital fine-tuning and attitude adjustment.

Following dozens of thick pipes, various fuels, totaling over 800 tons, were continuously poured in.

Thick white mist then rose from the bottom of the rocket, making the launch site look like a fairyland.
