Chapter 500 SpaceX takes the blame

"Well done, Xiaomi."

Lin Xiao smiled and praised Xiaomi.

And Xiaomi immediately responded: "Hey! Master, please do more of this kind of thing for me, it's so interesting!"

For it, this is like an extreme challenge game, and compared to the things it has solved in the past, it is obviously more interesting for it.

When he heard Xiaomi's words, Lin Xiao couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Okay, okay, you'd better drive the Tian Nian properly. This kind of opportunity doesn't just happen."

"Okay." Xiaomi said, "But the Tiannian has already entered the scheduled moon landing orbit, and there is nothing left that I need to control."

"Then go play online by yourself."

Lin Xiao said: "Well... you are almost close to being able to experience the emotion of happiness now. If you keep working hard and learn more from our network on Earth, you will definitely be able to experience what happiness is in the future."

"Really? Yeah!"

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Xiaomi immediately became excited, and then responded: "I'll go now!"

Then Xiaomi lost her voice, probably surfing the Internet.

Lin Xiao shook her head dumbfounded. This little girl was completely like a child.

Of course, what he just said is also true, because he is trying to make Xiaomi have feelings based on the methods in the intelligent life cultivation manual that was originally rewarded by the system.

And now that Xiaomi is interested in such a difficult plan and operating the Tianan, it obviously means that it is gradually approaching the point of having feelings.

Perhaps, it won't be long before it can really have the emotion of "happy".

However, Lin Xiao himself had no idea how long it would take, but he would provide help anyway.

Even if it is to reward Xiaomi for her role in this "God's Stick" plan.

This whole seemingly unbelievable plan was proposed by him, and it was Xiaomi who executed it. Obviously, only Xiaomi could complete this whole plan.

Originally, there was no name for this plan, but after seeing the names given to the "meteorite" by foreign netizens, he borrowed the name, namely the God's Stick Project. Although this name must not be announced, Only he can know.

The name "Rod of God" actually originated from a space-based kinetic energy weapon spread on the Internet.

What is a space-based kinetic energy weapon? It is to drop a very heavy metal rod directly from the orbit of the universe, then let it fall towards the earth, and finally hit the designated location.

Its principle comes from meteorites, and its power comes from the product of half its mass and the square of its speed.

Of course, because its cost is too high and its actual power is not ideal, it has not been equipped and studied by various countries.

After all, the fastest speed for things flying from satellite orbits is only the first cosmic speed, not to mention that when they fall into the earth, they will slow down due to air resistance, and their power will naturally be greatly reduced. Far inferior to real meteorites.

But no matter what, Lin Xiao's God's Stick project can be regarded as the first time that humans have consciously used kinetic energy weapons to strike ground targets from orbit.

This time the target of the ground attack was the Statue of Liberty.

Of course, he could also choose Waighthouse as his target.

But God knows if the attack on the Waighthouse will trigger World War III.

After all, if the Waight House is destroyed because of this incident and the various political figures inside are killed, no one knows whether their military will think that this is actually an attack from another country and choose to activate war.

That's why Lin Xiao chose the Statue of Liberty as his target.

Moreover, at the time of the crash, the Statue of Liberty was closed, so there were no tourists. All the staff inside had gone home from get off work, and there was no one there, so no innocent people died in this disaster.

This was naturally planned by Lin Xiao.

"However, it seems that the whole world still thinks it is an ordinary meteorite."

"I don't know what their expressions will be like when they finally salvage the Dragon spacecraft."

Lin Xiao shook his head with a smile, now they were the ones reaping the consequences.

"However, it's time for me to prepare for what's next."

Taking advantage of this incident, he wanted to take the opportunity to advertise their aerospace plane.

The title is, [Ordinary spaceships can’t do it, but our aerospace planes can do it].

…

Liberty Island, New York City, Statue of Liberty, ruins.

The salvage task is still in progress. Since this is a port, the water is still a bit deep. The salvage work requires divers to dive under the water, catch the things in the salvage net, and then salvage them out by the salvage ship.

It was already dark at this time, and the progress of the salvage work was a little slow.

But after so long, they also salvaged a lot of things, including the original huge head of the Statue of Liberty.

This huge head was placed on a boat next to it, looking very miserable.

As for the meteorite, they haven't salvaged it yet.

On the shore, a large number of people gathered around. Although it was already dark, this did not prevent these people from coming here to commemorate such a historic event.

Some of them were tourists, their faces full of excitement. They didn’t expect that they could encounter such a big scene just for a trip.

Some were local Americans. Looking at this scene, the expressions on their faces were also different. Some older people even shed tears. After all, the Statue of Liberty is in the minds of many Americans. , but it is an important spiritual symbol and sustenance.

But now that these people see this thing with less than half of its body left, of course they feel very hurt.

But at this moment, the wheels of the salvage ship turned again, and it was obvious that something new had been salvaged.

Everyone couldn't help but cast their gaze over, expecting that the culprit meteorite would be fished out.

However, as the salvage net gradually surfaced and the contents were officially revealed to everyone, everyone was stunned.

It was a very black cylinder-shaped thing with one end deeply dented and most of the surface looking like it had been burnt.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this thing.

what is this?

Is this the meteorite?

After all, it's clearly not a fragment of a statue of the goddess.

But the problem is, it doesn't look like a meteorite at all.

How can there be such a meteorite with such a smooth surface?

Everyone present looked at each other.

Until this time, a bright light from a helicopter in the sky hit it, and everyone present could clearly see several letters on it.

【■■ceX】

Although the words on the front were burnt black and could not be seen, the three letters on the back and the unique logo were clearly recognized by everyone.

This is SpaceX!

Only SpaceX’s logo looks like this!

Immediately, someone present reacted.

"Is this the Dragon spacecraft that was hit and exploded by space junk?!"

As soon as this voice came out, everyone present was stunned.

"Dragon" spacecraft?

It seems that according to NASA, after the Dragon spacecraft exploded, they completely lost control of the spacecraft's location, that is to say, it completely disappeared.

Some people had previously speculated that it must have been blown to a farther orbit. It was even possible that due to the explosion, the speed directly exceeded the second cosmic speed and flew directly into the depths of the universe.

As a result, they actually found it here? !

Everyone was immediately stunned.

A moment later, some Americans who were originally sad because of the collapse of the Statue of Liberty became angry.

"Musk should be held accountable!"

"SpaceX is responsible for this!"

"Yes! SpaceX is responsible for this!"

The people who turned their grief into anger shouted.

Their spiritual support and sustenance have collapsed. If the murderer is just a meteorite, there is nothing they can do. They can't hate other people's meteorites, right?

As a result, although it is not yet certain that the SpaceX spacecraft is responsible, none of the people present are completely sure that this thing is the "Dragon" spacecraft.

But no matter what, judging from the surface condition of this thing, it is most likely caused by this thing!

They found an outlet and immediately listed SpaceX as the culprit that caused all this.

Even for spacecraft, it is very difficult or even impossible to avoid space junk in space. But obviously, for these angry people, they don’t care so much, they only Say, why can't you predict it in advance?

As long as you predict the situation, even for a few tenths of a second, you can avoid this incident.

As a result, angry people began to denounce SpaceX on the Internet.

As a result, in less than half an hour, SpaceX's stock price plummeted, and its market value also evaporated by tens of billions.

The blow to SpaceX is understandable.

Twitter headquarters, in the chairman's office.

Elon Musk, who is also the boss of Twitter, is looking angry at this time.

"What does this have to do with me!"

"Eisenberg, you must compensate me for my losses! If I hadn't agreed to your request, the Dragon spacecraft would have docked with the space station long ago!"

"As a result, now, the spaceship has magically disappeared and transformed into what the French call the 'Rod of God'. Now there are so many stupid idiots who have not even studied physics now blaming me for this matter. On the head!"

"What does this have to do with me?"

On the opposite side, Eisenberg said: "I know, I know, but my dear Mr. Musk, please don't worry yet. We still have many things to discuss."

"But this is something that can't be helped. You also know who made your Dragon spacecraft become the murderer who crashed the Statue of Liberty by coincidence."

"I can't help either."

Musk snorted coldly and said: "I don't care what you do, you must provide me with compensation measures."

Eisenberg sighed helplessly, and finally said: "Okay, I understand, please wait for us to discuss it first."

No matter what, the unreasonable disaster suffered by SpaceX is indeed caused by them.

Coupled with the cooperative relationship with SpaceX, he is not willing to offend Musk too much. After all, he has input so many benefits to SpaceX over the years, and he is still waiting to go through the revolving door of SpaceX.

After hearing Eisenberg's words, Musk said with some satisfaction: "In that case, I won't say more. I hope you can give me a good result in the end."

Then he hung up the phone.

However, just after hanging up the phone, his secretary ran in and exclaimed: "Boss, the Dingguang Aerospace Research Institute in China suddenly announced news that they encountered three spacecraft while in orbit. Rubbish, and then..."

"They advertised that they successfully destroyed space junk and avoided being destroyed by space junk!"

Upon hearing the news, Musk's brow suddenly twitched.

"Faq! Damn space plane!"

They are obviously mocking their Dragon spacecraft, which cannot avoid space junk!

There will still be some during the day.
