#678 - Chapter 678: China, is the moon landing imminent? The despair of the North American president
"That's great!"
Chen Hao snapped out of it, overjoyed: "Perfect timing for the operation at the end of the month!"
"Are you saying... we'll do the sea trials at the end of the month?" the old man asked, puzzled.
It was early June.
Sea trials could be done in half a month, before the 20th.
"It's like this..." Chen Hao explained.
"It's alright!"
The old man laughed heartily: "No need to explain the reasons to me, I trust all your decisions!"
"Thank you for your trust!"
"There's more good news, even bigger good news!"
"There's more?"
"The lunar landing project will launch as early as the end of the month!"
"What?!"
Chen Hao couldn't contain his excitement any longer.
Last year.
He proposed a lunar strategy.
The first step was to land on the moon within a year.
The second step was to establish a permanent lunar base.
The third step was to build lunar mines.
The first step was about to be completed!
"Little Chen."
The old man's voice became low and沉重: "Due to the anti-human gene research and development, North America has been globally isolated, including its so-called traditional allies, who have severed ties with North America."
"Yes, I saw it on the news," Chen Hao said with a chuckle.
"I want to say..."
The old man took a deep breath: "Little Chen, thank you!"
Chen Hao couldn't help but be surprised.
"A year or two ago, no one, from me down, would have dared to imagine it!"
On the other end of the phone.
The old man's eyes were a little wet: "The strongest destroyer, the strongest fighter jet, the strongest aircraft carrier, and even controllable nuclear fusion, and even landing on the moon... Little Chen, I thank you on behalf of the 1.3 billion people of China!"
Two years ago.
How weak was China?
The West, led by North America, imposed various sanctions, containment, and provocations.
The Galaxy incident!
The bombing of the South Slav embassy!
There were too many such incidents.
China was bullied time and time again, but most of the time it could only endure, only make weak protests and condemnations.
Didn't the old man feel aggrieved?
Of course, he felt aggrieved!
As long as it confronted North America head-on, it would face global suppression.
Economic sanctions!
Technological containment!
In order to develop, China had to swallow its pride.
But now...
In just two years, the world has changed.
Now, it's North America's turn to be comprehensively sanctioned, and the former sole superpower in the world has been reduced to a resource-exporting country.
All this is because of Chen Hao!
"Old man, you don't need to thank me."
Chen Hao couldn't help but sigh, but his voice was particularly firm: "Our wishes are the same!"
For the rejuvenation of China!
To stand again in the long river of history, in the position where we should be!
The call ended.
The car arrived at the Comprehensive Scientific Research Center.
Chen Hao's face was full of joy.
As soon as he got out of the car, he suddenly hugged Xia Qingmo, regardless of whether there was anyone around, and kissed her on the cheek.
The girl's pretty face flushed red, but she didn't resist at all: "Is... is there good news?"
"Yes! Great news!"
"Don't tell me..."
The girl reminded.
Earlier in the car, she only heard what her boyfriend said, not what the old man said.
It should be top secret, right?
Chen Hao was stunned.
He held her hand tightly: "You'll know at the end of the month!"
...
Chen Hao learned of two pieces of good news.
Thousands of miles away, the White House was receiving a constant stream of bad news.
The two countries crossed swords through statements.
The President of North America thought that as long as it was confirmed that the Chinese players had also been injected with the gene agent—everyone is the same, why are you accusing me?
As a result...
Their route was completely different.
More high-end!
More powerful!
The key is that there are no side effects!
It even claimed that the technology would lead the global human race to leap forward.
What does it mean?
All countries want to obtain China's gene agent.
Based on this premise, most countries in the world are already economically bound to China, and with the temptation of gene agents... the relationship will be closer!
Previously, many countries and China were only integrated at the economic level, and politics were still relatively independent.
Now.
Completely stand with China!
On the other hand, what about North America?
Even traditional allies are collectively estranged.
"Damn China! Damn it!"
The President roared with rage.
"Mr. President, should we continue our gene project...?" Warren asked timidly.
"..."
The President was stunned and didn't say anything.
The gene technology given by Tsarist Russia is not only to enhance strength, but also to develop in multiple directions.
But...
"If we don't do what China says, I'm afraid... our economy won't last long!" the Secretary of Commerce said timidly.
China demanded that all relevant technical data be destroyed under global supervision, and that the scientists involved in the research and development be charged with the serious crime of anti-humanity—collective execution by firing squad!
Once this is done, North America will not be able to continue the research and development of the gene project.
The key is not the destruction of technical data.
But the scientist fault!
But if you continue to develop regardless...
North America will become a global isolated island!
Previously, the economy and trade that had been stabilized by signing a bunch of treaties humiliating the country would fall into chaos again.
A key point.
China's research and development in the field of gene science has taken a more high-end path.
To put it bluntly.
Even if North America continues to develop, it has already fallen behind and has no competitiveness at all.
"Promise..."
The President clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white: "Promise China's request to destroy the data, arrest the relevant personnel... Damn it! Damn it!"
Weighing the pros and cons, I had to make a choice.
But...
He is the President of North America!
Making such a choice is too humiliating!
How to explain to Congress and the people?
In just two years, China has controlled global technology and economy, and North America has not only lost its superpower status, but has also been reduced to a primary resource exporter. All North Americans cannot accept such a result.
Am I too incompetent?
No!
It is the development of Chinese technology that is so fast that it is unbelievable, even more outrageous than cheating!
"Perhaps... I should retire," he smiled sadly.
This may be the last decision he makes in office.
Agree to China's conditions!
Only in this way will North America not collapse.
Even if it is reduced to a resource-exporting country, at least it has not disintegrated, right?
"Mr. President!"
Suddenly!
The assistant ran over excitedly with his mobile phone: "Call from Area 51, good news!"
The President was stunned.
He quickly took the phone: "Speak!"
"Mr. President, there are two pieces of good news, which one do you want to hear first?" The other party's tone was excited.
"Two, you idiot! Speak quickly!" The President was furious.
I'm about to collapse, and I'm ready to step down. Are you teasing me?
Do you believe I'll twist your head off and use it as a ball?
"Yes..."
The other party was startled.
Because the two pieces of good news appeared together, he was too excited, so he joked with the President. Who knew that the other party would have such a big temper? Shouldn't you be happy to hear the good news?
"Our new fighter jet has solved the problem of getting on the ship!" the person in charge of Area 51 said.
"What?!"
The President's eyes widened.
