You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 113
Chapter 113: Concealment Formation
The rocket is vertical, so Su Qin’an had to fly sometimes to carve the formation runes. The two old men on the ground watched, their eyes flickering, as if they were sending amorous glances to Su Qin’an.
Fortunately, the formation didn’t last too long. Twenty minutes later, Su Qin’an put away the Falling Star Sword and returned to the ground.
By this time, the rocket was no longer in front of the three people and the onlookers.
Or rather, the rocket had become invisible.
“This way, the Ghost Race won’t be able to intercept the rocket! ”
Su Qin’an smiled, “You can’t see the rocket, and no ordinary people can see it either! By the way, this shouldn’t hinder your real-time orbit monitoring, right? ”
“It doesn’t! ”
The Aerospace Agency Director laughed, “If we relied on sight for orbit monitoring, we might as well go home and farm! ”
“Let’s launch it! Are there any problems with launching now? ”
Su Qin’an said, “The earlier we launch, the sooner we’ll have more security. ”
After the space-based weapons are launched, they can not only be used to defend against the Ghost Race attacking BeiDou, but also for active attacks.
After all, the best defense is a good offense, and that’s not just an empty saying.
Imagine, China and the Ghost Race are fighting, and suddenly a laser beam thicker than several people falls from the sky, vaporizing a large group of the Ghost Race. The scene…
Let’s not talk about the striking power, the deterrent effect is amazing.
After all, with a sword hanging over your head, who wouldn’t be nervous?
“We can launch now. ”
The Aerospace Agency Director laughed, “That’s your last step. The launch crew is waiting! ”
Hearing this, Su Qin’an looked around and found that many people’s eyes were shining, eager to study what he was made of.
He suddenly felt like he was in a zoo… or rather, he was the animal in the zoo.
And the members of the Aerospace Agency were the tourists.
“Get ready to work! ”
Fortunately, the Aerospace Agency Director rescued the situation, shouting, “Prepare for countdown! ”
People in the building immediately prepared, and all the cameras present were set up for nationwide live broadcast.
The people watching the live broadcast were directly dumbfounded.
“Launch a rocket? Where’s the rocket? Was it launched already? ”
“No, if it was launched, would they need to broadcast it? ”
“Prepare for countdown! ”
“10! ”
“9! ”
“Huh? Bush…? ”
The people were dumbfounded again, “It doesn’t look like it’s launched yet? ”
“Where’s the rocket? Is my network card malfunctioning and the picture not loading? ”
“It looks like no one can see the rocket, ruling out eye problems! ”
“8! ”
“7! ”
The camera switched, and the Aerospace Agency Director appeared in the center of the screen.
A reporter held a microphone, interviewing him: “Director Fang, are you launching weapons now? ”
Director Fang smiled slightly, “Obviously, yes! ”
The reporter twitched the corner of her mouth, looking at the empty launch pad. Thanks to professional training, she didn’t lose composure: “Then… where’s the rocket? ”
“Well…”
“6! ”
“5! ”
Director Fang smiled, “Let’s leave that question for Academician Su to answer later! ”
“4! ”
“3! ”
“What? Did Academician Su achieve complete invisibility? ”
“Complete invisibility! They actually achieved this? ”
“My fellow netizens, I have an immature idea…”
“But our country has a mature criminal law…”
“2! ”
“1! ”
“Launch! ”
Although everyone couldn’t see the rocket, they could see a large amount of water erupting from the bottom of the launch pad when the rocket ignited: “It’s completely invisible? ”
“Then what are the Ghost Race fighting for? Our troops can just turn invisible and bypass them; what can they do? ”
“Don’t be so optimistic. What works for objects doesn’t necessarily work for people. ”
“Academician Su, has the Ministry of Science and Technology already researched new, completely invisible technology? ”
On the other side, the reporter had already started eagerly asking Su Qin’an questions.
“This invisibility technology…”
Su Qin’an had only spoken half a sentence, but he had already piqued the interest of countless netizens. They were all staring at the TV, wanting to hear Su Qin’an personally admit that he had developed the invisibility technology.
“… is impossible. ”
“I…”
Not only the netizens, but the reporter also had the urge to curse.
“However! ”
Su Qin’an changed the subject, saying, “The rocket’s disappearance this time is actually very simple, because I just drew a formation on it. ”
The reporter’s eyes immediately lit up: “Is it an invisibility formation? ”
Like most people, she was currently in a state of wanting more of the cultivators’ methods.
“Yes, the effects are the same, but we prefer to call it a concealment formation. ”
Su Qin’an said, “The effect… as you’ve seen, it can achieve absolute invisibility for the rocket. Unless someone’s cultivation is higher than mine, or they use special means, it’s impossible to detect it. ”
The people weren’t fools; they knew why this was done.
“Then, Academician Su, what exactly are those special means…? ”
“Radar, ultrasound, and a series of technological weapons. ”
Su Qin’an said, “The concealment formation only makes the object nonexistent in human vision. In other words, it erases its trace in space, but it doesn’t completely erase it from space. If someone touches it, they can still feel something there. ”
“Then, can Academician Su explain the reason and purpose of this rocket launch? ”
“I think I’ll leave that question to Director Fang? ”
Su Qin’an smiled, “He’s the one in charge of this rocket launch. ”
The reporter immediately went to the Aerospace Agency Director.
Director Fang didn’t waste words and went straight to the point: “This rocket launch is mainly to transport the space-based weapons newly researched by our Ministry of Science and Technology into space to effectively protect our satellites. Here, I want to say first that the Ghost Race, some time ago, used unknown methods to try to destroy our BeiDou satellites. Fortunately, a kind person helped our BeiDou avert disaster. As for who this kind person is, because they prefer to remain anonymous, we can’t say… but their satellite starts with ‘G’, which satisfies everyone’s curiosity. ”
The netizens immediately laughed wildly.
Attacking BeiDou, and they hit GPS instead…
What did the ancient philosopher say again?
Among dogs, there’s the Husky; among countries, there’s Turkey…
“I believe the Ghost Race are also people of passion! ”
“I wanted to laugh, now I’m laughing heartily. ”
“Well done! Let them lose GPS! Karma’s a b1tch! ”
Losing GPS was a thing of the last century. China hadn’t developed BeiDou back then, and Uncle Sam controlled almost all global positioning.
But once, Uncle Sam directly shut down GPS, causing all of China’s missiles to be unable to launch, and a military ship was stranded in the Pacific Ocean for 22 days. From that moment, China truly put the research of its own navigation system on the agenda.
To be fair, GPS did play a role in the establishment of China’s BeiDou system.
So after hearing the bad news of GPS being shot down, people in China at a young age learned to use smiles to hide their sadness.
Su Qin’an stood in the corner, watching Director Fang speak eloquently, smiled, and then disappeared into the air.
