Super technology leader

As the day grew later in Tianxia, the sky over Merica grew brighter.

A new day began.

Normally, a new day should bring a fresh start, but some people's 'new mood' wasn't so good.

Especially those who were dragged out of bed at three or four in the morning to watch some damn rocket's maiden flight live, told there would be something good to see.

The result? Nothing good at all, they were about to explode with anger.

Inside a secret conference room, President's spokesperson Kuna, NASA Director Jim, and CIA Deputy Director of Intelligence David, these three Trump sycophants were present, along with some others, each with a more unpleasant expression than the last.

"Still no news?" Kuna asked David.

"No," David shook his head, "Not a single word. It seems they not only failed their mission but may have all been captured."

"..."

The room fell silent at these words. They knew the mission had failed; after all, they had watched the rocket launch.

Initially, David had told them the rocket would explode, either on the launchpad in a ball of fire or in the air with a grand fireworks display.

But they had been watching since morning, and hadn't seen a single explosion. They watched as the Long March 9 soared higher and higher, eventually successfully entering orbit and heading towards the moon.

Where was the explosion?

Where was the fireball?

Where were the fireworks?

All they saw was the cheering and jubilation of the Tianxia people, the joy, pride, and excitement practically leaping off the screen and slapping them in the face.

The cheers of the Tianxia people were nothing but mockery to them!

Shame!

And many foreigners were cheering too, undoubtedly including Mericans.

The Tianxia people could cheer if they wanted, but why were you cheering? Didn't you know Tianxia was our enemy?

This generation of Merican youth is so disappointing!

Now they were being told that the team of special agents had been completely wiped out. How could they be happy?

A team of elite agents, not only failed their mission but vanished without a trace. Where did they go? Hell?

"Gentlemen, what do we do now?"

Kuna looked at the others, then at his high-end mechanical watch. "The President won't wake up for another half hour."

"As soon as he wakes, his assistant will tell him the news. He'll tweet about it within five minutes of hearing it, and I don't want to see any of our names mentioned, so we better come up with a good idea quickly to make up for this failure."

"..."

Indeed, they didn't want to see their names in the President's tweets, because that very likely meant they were about to be scolded.

And there was a small chance it meant they were about to be fired.

Either way, it wouldn't be good news.

「Too scary.」

Everyone shivered.

"Ahem~"

David cleared his throat, shifted in his seat, and pressed his fingertips together, resting his chin on them, as he calmly said, "Fortunately, we used foreign agents."

"Their fake IDs have nothing to do with the CIA. Even if they're caught by Tianxia, there won't be any evidence pointing back to us."

"As for the agents' confessions, those don't count for anything. No one will believe that stuff."

"So, at least we won't be on the defensive in terms of public opinion."

David, the intelligence chief, was trying to cover his own ass, but Jim ruthlessly shattered his fabricated "beautiful dream."

"Heh, it all comes down to your mission failing. You didn't keep their rocket on the ground."

Hearing this, David's anger flared up!

He dropped the pretense of composure, stood up and slammed the table, saying, "Hey, don't blame us! If your rockets hadn't been delayed, unable to send Merican astronauts to the moon, would we have needed to blow up their rocket?"

"If your rockets could have sent astronauts to the moon yesterday, we'd be having a celebratory dinner tonight instead of sitting here in this meeting!"

The intelligence chief could slam the table, and so could the space agency chief, not to mention David was just a deputy director.

He was the director of NASA!

So Jim also stood up and slammed the table, and he slammed it even harder than David. "What can I do about it? Go find Boeing! They're responsible for the SLS rocket. Besides, the original plan was to land on the moon in three years. It's already a huge accomplishment to move the maiden flight forward to this year and land next year in such a chaotic situation."

"Oh, right, speaking of changing plans, isn't that because your CIA's intelligence was weak? If you had discovered the true progress of Tianxia's Long March 9 project earlier, would we have been so passive?"

"That's bullshit! Long March 9 is aerospace technology. Your NASA didn't even know about it, how would we?"

The most \\u22a5 new \\u22a5 novel \\u22a5 is \\u22a5 first \\u22a5 published \\u22a5 on \\u22a5 six \\u22a5 9 \\u22a5 \\u22a5 books \\u22a5 \\u22a5 bar \\u22a5 \\u22a5!

"You're the one talking bullshit! We at NASA can't even communicate with the Tianxia Space Administration, how could we possibly know?"

The two became increasingly agitated and started arguing. Kuna felt it was getting out of hand, and the dumb king would wake up soon. He didn't have time to listen to them argue.

"Enough!"

Kuna also slammed the table. "You're all national elites. Look at yourselves now, what do you look like? What we need to do now is to regain the initiative!"

"There are still twenty minutes. Bring out the energy you use to orchestrate conspiracies and demand funding, and think of a solution for me!!"

David's mind noticed: 「Orchestrate conspiracies?」

Jim also keenly perceived: 「Demand funding?」

Suddenly, the two exchanged a glance, then subtly glanced at Kuna: 「Fuck, am I, David (Jim), doing this for myself?! You stupid sycophant!」

After the internal吐槽, they still had to think of a solution, but David, the deputy head of the CIA, could only think of continuing to sabotage and slow down the research progress on Tianxia's side.

But since the Long March 9 mission came to the forefront, Tianxia's internal defenses had become much stricter, and his tricks were difficult to execute.

Even this operation failed, and everyone was caught. Even if he wanted to go deeper into Tianxia to do something, others probably wouldn't agree.

He was just a deputy director. Above him were the director of the intelligence department and the big director of the CIA.

So, in the end, this matter still fell on Jim, the director of the Space Administration.

Only magic can defeat magic!

So, if they wanted to regain the initiative in the aerospace field, they could only start with their own aerospace field.

Discovering that this matter had been pressed on him again, Jim's heart was filled with what the fuck. Last time it was...

Fuck, it was the same situation last time, also because of the Long March 9, the Moon Grand Prix was reopened, and as a result, a company from Tianxia won first place.

Now you want to use this trick again?

You guys are really stubborn!

After he explained his thoughts, Kuna said indifferently: "Last time was just an accident, there definitely won't be any problems this time. Not to mention they won't have those suddenly emerging super companies again, even if they do, we just won't do a global audition this time."

"We will focus on ourselves, at most adding a few loyal aerospace allies, to create a super project, and the time must be short, and it must be shocking enough. Any ideas?"

Hearing what the other party said, Jim felt slightly relieved. After slightly thinking according to Kuna's ideas, he really came up with a brilliant idea.

If this matter could be completed, they could definitely turn the tables and regain the initiative in the space race.

He organized his words and said to the people in the conference room: "I really do have an idea, and it's highly feasible. Do you know about the 'Perseverance' Mars rover that landed on Mars more than two months ago?"
