You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 148
Chapter 148: International Standard, What’s It To The Ghost Race?
“Countdown starts! ”
“10……”
“9……”
“8……”
Three months later, the Ministry of Science and Technology’s objectives were basically completed. As long as the last space-based weapons satellite is launched, the Aerospace Strategic System will be basically sufficient.
Oh, by the way, let me add that after Uncle Sam was wiped out, all their satellites were gone.
Some, because they couldn’t get a response from ground command, deviated from their original orbit and collided with meteorites, exploding.
And some… were shot down by China’s space-based weapons, becoming space junk.
That’s right, Zhang Keqiang suggested this tactic.
Uncle Sam is gone, and rather than leaving their weapons for the Ghost Race to crack, it’s better to just shoot them down. This frees up more space for China to launch satellites and prevents the Ghost Race’s strength from further expanding—a win-win situation.
The space around Earth is limited, only 360 degrees. Since satellites of the same type are at roughly the same altitude, there naturally isn’t enough space.
What to do if there’s not enough space?
Shoot down the excess, of course!
Now, the Aerospace Agency is launching the last space-based weapon that China has been researching for the past three months. Once it enters its designated orbit, China can start the war.
“2……”
“1……”
“Ignition! ”
At the command, the rocket, belching flames and white smoke, soared into the sky, flying towards the farther reaches of space.
“The last one! ”
Liu Qiming watched the rocket get smaller and smaller in the air, and couldn’t help but smile slightly: “What are the Ghost Race? Give me ten more years, and I’ll beat them until their mothers don’t recognize them! ”
“Yeah……”
Looking at the rocket’s shadow, Zhang Keqiang also felt a sense of elation: “Tomorrow I’m going to the East Sea! I’ll personally oversee, and we must beat these little devils to death! ”
“Beat them good! Don’t go easy on them! ”
“Like you need to tell me! ”
“Launch is normal! ”
“Power drive is normal! ”
“Temperature and pressure are normal! ”
“Entering the designated orbit, eighty kilometers above the ground! ”
“Problem! An unidentified object is rapidly approaching! ”
“Detect immediately! Notify the Ministry of Defense to prepare for interception! ”
Just as the rocket reached an altitude of eighty kilometers, a black thunderbolt suddenly flew from afar. Within a few moments, it was less than two hundred meters from the rocket.
Eighty kilometers—even the Ministry of Defense’s most advanced surface-to-air missiles couldn’t intercept it. Because this distance is far beyond their range.
“Damn it! ”
Zhang Keqiang clenched his fists, his eyes seeming to spit fire: “Why now? Of all times! Our anti-aircraft missiles can’t reach it! ”
“Damn it, the Ghost Race is looking for trouble, aren’t they! ”
Liu Qiming’s expression wasn’t good either: “Later I’ll just make more Big Ivans, and let them feel the love of 6300 degrees Celsius! ”
The two men’s angry shouts didn’t do any good; the thunderbolt was getting closer and closer to the rocket.
Two hundred meters……
One hundred and fifty meters……
One hundred meters……
Just as the two men felt a wave of despair and were preparing to launch another rocket, a piercing sword cry suddenly came from the air.
A black light flashed, and the thunderbolt shattered. Then, Su Qin’an, wielding the Falling Star Sword, appeared where the thunderbolt had been, looking coldly towards the East.
That was the direction of the Thunder Ghost Saint.
Then, he let out a cold laugh, and gave a universally recognized friendly gesture towards the distant Pacific Ocean.
Although he couldn’t see the Ghost Saint, he believed the Ghost Saint could see his friendly gesture!
Pacific Ocean floor.
The Thunder Ghost Saint watched Su Qin’an’s gesture and expression, falling into thought.
Although Su Qin’an used a universally recognized friendly gesture, but…
Universally recognized? What does that have to do with the Ghost Race?
It’s not inter-racial recognition!
But! But!
Although he didn’t know what that gesture meant, combined with the scene and Su Qin’an’s expression, it wasn’t difficult to see that he was taunting him.
The Thunder Ghost Saint flew into a rage.
Since his awakening, he’d been the Ghost Saint of the Ghost Race for over ten thousand years. Not to mention within the Ghost Race, even outside, who hadn’t been terrified at the sight of him?
Now this insignificant human dared to scorn him?
This is unbearable! I can bear it, but my wife can’t!
So, in a fit of rage, the Thunder Ghost Saint immediately got angry…
I can’t afford to provoke him!
He’d fought against Uncle Sam and Europe, and he knew their capabilities very well.
Especially in Europe, he was beaten up terribly!
According to the Ghost Commander’s information, China was stronger than these two forces, but they hadn’t encountered anyone who could rival him, a Ghost Saint, during their skirmishes.
What does this show?
It shows that China’s military strength is very strong, and without him, the Military Headquarters didn’t even have the ability to force out their top experts.
In fact, the Ghost Commander also told the Thunder Ghost Saint that during the Ghost Race’s many attacks, they hadn’t even broken through their plasma shields…
“It’s good that we have this kid! ”
Seeing the thunderbolt shattered, Zhang Keqiang and Liu Qiming on the ground both breathed a sigh of relief.
“If it weren’t for him, that rocket would really be ruined! ”
“Forget about that! ”
Zhang Keqiang smiled, “Today I will order the army to be assembled, and tomorrow we will move our troops! ”
The battlefield is right at our doorstep; supplies are too convenient! Whether it’s food, soldiers, or weapons… any losses can be replenished in minutes.
But the Ghost Race is, after all, fighting on their home turf, and their supplies are also plentiful. And once Chinese soldiers are reduced, the number of their opponents will constantly increase.
So, we still have to let the Ghost Race soldiers who have been struck by the 《master please exhaust…no, struck by the Zhenlong Seal lead the charge. They can be used as cannon fodder, and they can also scare the Ghost Race.
The next morning, the Eastern War Zone served as the main force, with the South, North, and Central War Zones cooperating. The navy and air force were lined up, missiles were ready, fighter jets inspected. Everything was prepared, ready to go to war at any moment.
“Soldiers! The Ghost Race army has destroyed countless human compatriots, subjecting them to inhumane torture! They even made them fight against their former compatriots after their deaths! ”
“They even used cluster bombs and other weapons explicitly prohibited by international law, and conducted biochemical modifications…”
Listening to Li Da’s speech, Su Qin’an felt a wave of sleepiness.
Although the Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern War Zone spoke with great fervor, but… he inexplicably felt bored. What should he do?
But although he felt bored, seeing the soldiers roaring “Victory! ”, Li Da’s speech seemed quite effective.
“Form the entire army! Prepare to attack! ”
The Ghost Race has a navy, but they are all located in northern Asia, the former Siberia, the Arctic Ocean, and the former India.
Since it’s a naval battle, there must be ships!
For cannon fodder, how could we use China’s aircraft carriers or destroyers? That would be a huge loss!
So Zhang Keqiang had secretly ordered long ago to move all the Ghost Race’s ships, hiding them. They would only be used to eliminate the Ghost Race the moment the battle began.
With Zhang Keqiang’s command, the plasma shields opened, and between China’s eastern border and the Pacific Ocean occupied by the Ghost Race, there was finally no last obstacle.
The war has begun!
