v2 Chapter 1045： Great Powers Concern One

To say that the most painful enterprises and people are really not the Heiyun Group and Bao's richest man. The enterprises and bosses that produce sodium metal all over the world are the most difficult people. The country has banned exports, and even if it is not banned, it would not dare to supply Heiyun Group at this time. If the other party really wants to produce sun cannons, then they are accomplices.

But if it doesn't ship, it's a breach of contract. In any case, breach of contract will cost you money. Unless there is conclusive evidence that the Black Cloud Group is used to produce weapons of mass destruction, there is no reason to not supply people. You must know that Bao Zixuan has already paid the money, but if he breaches the contract, he will have to pay double compensation. At this time, all the companies hoped that the Black Cloud Group would give a statement as soon as possible, and Bao Zixuan personally came forward to clarify.

They can't stand it if they keep dragging on like this. At the same time, I also hope that the state will come forward to sanction the Black Cloud Group. In that way, they don't have to bear the responsibility for breach of contract, and in short, it must be resolved as soon as possible. At least give the public an explanation, and it is not a problem to be worried all the time.

Concerned about this is the United States and the Soviet Union, during the Cold War. The emergence of any weapon means a new round of competition. Both the United States and the Soviet Union have some, or even more detailed, information on the German sun cannon program than East and West Germany. After discussion and technical analysis, it is believed that unless only one country in the world masters space technology, it will be difficult to achieve.

It is impossible to launch the sun cannon at one time, and the volume is really too large. In the assembly process, it is easy to be attacked by opponents, so the actual combat significance is not very large. Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan were preparing to build a solar rail gun, but the first impression was impossible. According to the intelligence agencies of the two countries, at least the Black Cloud Group does not yet have the ability to build solar cannons.

But at this time, the matter is so big, if no explanation is given, it will definitely cause panic among the people. Bao Zixuan has no strength, so do the United States and the Soviet Union also have no strength. The United States, in particular, has been promoting the Soviet threat theory. If the Soviet Sun Cannons flew over Washington and New York one day; how would the United States face it?

Compared with the Black Cloud Group, the Soviet Union is a terrifying existence. Years of propaganda by the U.S. government have paid off. However, seeing that people are living in panic, riots have occurred in many cities in China. If this is not to be clarified and stopped, it will be a mess.

President Reagan not only summoned CIA director William - Joseph - Casey, but also asked NASA director Blake - Ben to come to the White House. As president, it doesn't matter if you don't understand intelligence or technology. As long as you know who can give constructive opinions, professional matters should be left to professionals.

When the Sun reported that the Black Cloud Group purchased sodium metal to build the solar railgun, it was revealed that William Joseph Casey, the director of the CIA, immediately ordered an investigation into the matter. Because he knew that, with Reagan's character, he would definitely ask him about the whole story.

William - Joseph - Casey is sometimes very helpless, the Black Cloud Group is in Hong Kong. Both the UK and China regard it as their own territory. It makes it easy for American agents to expose the past. Hong Kong was not so important before; at most, the economy is more developed, and it has little impact on the United States.

Until the rise of Heiyun Group, Bao Zixuan returned from studying in the United States. The status of Xiangjiang has undergone earth-shaking changes. At least in the high-tech field, no one dares to ignore the city of Xiangjiang. A typical person, one city, genius is extraordinary.

So the question is, since the status is important, the intelligence must keep up. However, the CIA's intelligence capabilities in Xiangjiang are very poor. To build a complete intelligence network requires not only money and manpower, but also time. Some agents have been dormant for decades, perhaps just to pass on a piece of information.

The best way at the moment is to spend a lot of money and get it from your peers. But as to why the Black Cloud Group purchased a large amount of sodium metal, not only the Americans, but even the British are still under investigation. We can only analyze the limited information first and give the president an explanation.

As the director of the National Space Administration, Blake - Ben is also well aware of the President's summons. Since the moon landing program was mothballed, the status and importance of NASA has declined significantly. Although a Star Wars plan is proposed, it is more of a theory and has not been implemented. Therefore, the annual funding to NASA can be said to be less and less. At this rate, it will be difficult to maintain normal operation.

It is just this opportunity to let the president see the important role of space; only with huge funding can NASA be restored to its glory.

The Sun Cannon has certainly been asked in the past, but luckily there is still information about such a weapon within NASA. And neither Hermann-Obert nor von Braun worked at NASA; if the explanation isn't clear, it's really hard to tell.

Reagan directly received the two directors in the office, which not only showed the importance of the matter, but also had the need for confidentiality.

After the two directors sat down, the secretary poured them a cup of coffee. Then he walked out naturally, leaving Reagan, William Joseph Casey and Black Ben in the office.

Reagan said with a serious expression: "You must have seen the news that the Heiyun Group purchased a large amount of sodium metal to build the solar cannon. I would like to know now whether the other party has such a plan, or has already implemented it. If Heiyun does not Will the Soviets build this plan?"

"Both are American elites, one is in charge of the intelligence department and the other is in charge of the space department; I want to know the answer."

"There have been riots in several cities, and the panic among the people is high. We have to pay attention. Compared with the Black Cloud Group, the threat of the Soviet Union is greater."

Reagan's expression was so serious that he seemed to be genuine. In fact, it is the same for everyone, and if the country is not well governed, it means that re-election is very likely to fail. Reagan, as a capable president, couldn't afford to lose this man.

From Reagan's questioning, we knew that the intelligence services would definitely answer first.

William Joseph Casey can only bite the bullet and say: "Currently, the intelligence power in Xiangjiang is relatively weak, but according to the data; the Black Cloud Group should not have the ability or have already implemented the construction plan of the Sun Cannon."

"At least the CIA and the British intelligence agencies did not find out that the land area of ​​Xiangjiang itself is small; and the Heiyun Group has been building what they call Heiyun Town. The construction of the Sun Cannon will not be small, and it is impossible that there will be no clues."

William - Joseph - Casey's answer, Reagan was not satisfied. Straight up: "Should be a disgrace to the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency in the United States of America; don't you think!"

"Even though the country's finances are tight, the allocation to the CIA has never been cut; it even increases every year. Is this how you repay the trust of taxpayers; it's all guesswork to get information, so what's the use of your CIA?"

"No matter what method you use for your identity, you will report to me after you have the exact information in the future. If you are like this next time, you don't have to come here."

Reagan was not polite at all, and directly asked the CIA director not to come here. The meaning is obvious, if the work is not good, resign directly.

William - Joseph - Casey can not always say that the previous generations did not lay a good foundation, that is a taboo in officialdom, and at the same time it will appear incompetent. At present, he can only swallow his teeth and swallow it in his stomach to increase the intelligence output to Xiangjiang.

Reagan made a gesture, and Blake Ben knew that he needed to analyze it from a technical level. Fortunately, this was his specialty, and it was handy.

Black-Ben: "The Black Cloud Group does not yet have the ability to make the Sun Cannons practical, at least there are no rockets to send their built Sun Cannons to the predetermined orbit In fact, the construction of the Sun Cannons itself is not difficult, most Heavy industry companies can do it. But it's only on the ground, because for the sun cannon to have practical significance, it must be put into space."

"Taking the most powerful Saturn 5 launch vehicle in the United States as an example, the low-Earth orbit carrying capacity is 30 tons. According to the design of the solar cannon, at least 35,000 launches are required to complete the solar cannon."

After hearing 35,000 launches, Reagan and Joseph Casey finally felt relieved, not to mention the Black Cloud Group, even the Soviet Union did not have this capability. The number of Apollo rockets launched on the moon was only a dozen or so times, and the finances were a bit overwhelmed. What is the feeling of 35,000 times? From the successful development of the rocket to the present, the total number of launches in all countries in the world is not that many.

Black-Ben continued: "It's just the cost of launching, and assembling in space is even more of a hassle. Even if the Soviet Union launched the Sun Cannon program, it wouldn't pose much of a threat to the United States. We can blow him up anytime we want. Even We don't need to take action, any meteorite can destroy it."

"Such a huge target is a living target in space."
