Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

"What explanation has China given? Besides that brief, unbelievable report!" Inside the Black Palace, President Putin frowned as he looked at the thick analysis report.

"They insist it was a missile test launch..."

Putin's lips twitched as he listened. "Seriously? Even their perfunctory responses are this blatant? Is there any logic to this?!"

He slapped the analysis report repeatedly, growing increasingly agitated and furious with each slap. Finally, he erupted in a furious outburst: "Whose missiles can fly at two hundred times the speed of sound within the atmosphere? Oh, and more than that, right? Now it's over 260 times!"

"What the hell is this? Hmm? It gets faster once it leaves the atmosphere, I understand, but how does a missile launch from Earth, reach near-Earth orbit, and still head towards the Moon?"

"What exactly are they trying to do? Fight aliens behind the moon? Huh?!"

"Activate all silent spies! I need to know today what the hell that missile with no exhaust plume is!"

boom!

Pu kicked over the chair and stormed out of the room.

Similar scenarios are playing out in almost every country capable of conducting space monitoring.

This completely incomprehensible mode of flight, with its performance far surpassing all current equipment, has utterly disrupted the original balance.

Silent spies from different countries were quickly mobilized and moved towards L City. However, none of them were able to enter L City; they were usually taken away with a black cloth covering their heads as soon as they approached within fifty kilometers of L City.

To put it bluntly, in L City nowadays, even a stray dog ​​passing by will have its ancestral origin thoroughly investigated.

Time passed day by day.

One week, one month.

During this period, China conducted several more so-called "missile" test launches, initially with some secrecy and at a lower speed.

Later on, they stopped pretending altogether. They would fly around the moon and bring back some local specialties, but they went even further, flying to Mars and even flying around haphazardly in the solar system, scavenging for local specialties everywhere.

Top aerospace laboratories, physics institutes, and materials science centers were mobilized, but they couldn't deduce even the slightest technical principle.

What's even more disheartening is that the missile's performance completely exceeded our understanding. The absence of a tail flame meant it wasn't propelled by chemical propulsion, and its acceleration and velocity curves didn't conform to known propulsion models. The heat signature generated by its high-speed flight and friction with the air within the atmosphere was also abnormally low.

Everything is contrary to normalcy; if this thing didn't actually exist, probably no one would believe it.

The attitudes of major powers shifted from initial shock to investigation, then to helplessness, and finally to near surrender. They were forced to accept the fact that China possessed advanced technology that they could not comprehend and was far beyond their reach in the short term.

The only point of consensus is that this thing is fast enough to strike any place on the globe within three minutes of taking off, and tragically, they have no effective means of defense or interception.

Are you afraid? Of course you are. This is no longer a missile; it is a sharp sword of China.

But amidst the fear, a desire also rose from the bottom of my heart and quickly fermented uncontrollably.

Behind this outrageous so-called "missile" lies at least three coveted technologies.

New materials, unknown energy sources, and an incredible new propulsion method.

Driven by the lure of enormous profits, major powers began to join forces, attempting to exert pressure through all channels, including diplomacy and the media.

They demanded that China explain, in a transparent and responsible manner, what exactly are those frequently launched "missiles"! And, under the guise of the principle of common progress for all mankind, they demanded the sharing of key technologies.

At the same time, mainstream foreign media began to condemn the cover-up of missile information as disrupting the strategic balance and constituting a dangerous military act. There were also reports and commentaries criticizing technological monopolies as detrimental to global development.

China's response to all of this was simple yet sharp.

"All our scientific research experiments comply with international law and practice, and are normal activities within the scope of national sovereignty. They are not directed against any specific country, nor do they affect the security of any country. Specific technical details involve core secrets and cannot be disclosed..."

Warnings will be issued simultaneously for any defamatory reports.

He tried everything, but to no avail.

The situation in China was quite different. With the news of several test launches and the circulation of numerous images, the public was filled with unprecedented excitement and pride.

"Good grief, I thought the recently released Mighty Dragon fighter jet was already a game-changer, but what's this now? Publicly admitting to a missile with speeds exceeding 200 times the speed of sound and the ability to travel to and from the moon, huh?"

"Many people doubt whether this thing actually uses some kind of anti-gravity or force field propulsion; it's too sci-fi."

"I told you that was true, it's alien technology!"

"This isn't just a missile! This is truth! This is dignity! I feel that the emergence of this missile has extended the reach of our weapon many times over!"

That's right, the truth lies only within the range of the arrow. Look at it now, the tip of the sword has circled the blue planet and come back.

Two months later, perhaps because the test data had been collected, or perhaps for some other unknown reason, the missile test launches gradually decreased, but did not completely stop.

Today we've returned from the moon, and tomorrow we'll set off from Mars again.

Why is it getting faster and faster? I don't know. What local specialties did you bring back this time? I don't know either.

Most people, including many uninformed experts both domestically and internationally, have given up trying to figure out what this outrageous thing actually is. They only need to know that it's incredibly powerful, capable of traveling very far and very fast, and that no defense can intercept it.

The discussion gradually shifted from the outlandish "missile" to whether China really had alien assistance, or whether it had discovered technological blueprints left over from a previous era of civilization, eventually becoming a topic of casual conversation.

Six months after this outrageous "missile" made its first public appearance, another bombshell announcement, made in a more formal and public manner, shocked the world.

The National Energy Administration and the Ministry of Science and Technology of China jointly held a press conference to officially announce that, after long-term research efforts, Chinese research teams have successfully developed and completed the construction and trial operation of the "Sun Chaser" series of controlled nuclear fusion demonstration reactors, achieving stable, continuous, and clean nuclear fusion energy output. This marks a significant milestone for my country...

It is not the type of nuclear reactor previously used by major powers, which is highly dangerous and subject to significant limitations.

The words "safe and controllable" struck the scene like a hammer blow, silencing everyone present.

Even more astonishingly, while announcing the success of the large fusion reactor, China also casually revealed that the development of miniaturized, modular, and controllable nuclear fusion devices has also made significant progress and is undergoing comprehensive testing.

Small controlled nuclear fusion reactor! This news left countless people in the global energy, industrial, and military sectors breathless.
