Chapter 668

Umbrella has 20,000 satellites in the sky, so its monitoring capabilities are naturally strong enough.

It may not be possible to discover it immediately in the short term.

But when the first satellite quickly passed through the orbital area and passed by more than 30 kilometers away, its trace was immediately captured.

Then Umbrella officials issued another announcement

"It was previously discovered that two weather satellites and a mineral satellite of the Great Beauty had deviated from their orbits, and the closest distance passed the orbital area by 32 kilometers. Was this an intentional act on your part?"

Directly hit it straight on the pretty face!

This caused public opinion, which had already been at the center of controversy, to explode instantly.

"I just said there might be a problem, but it happened right away?"

"No way? Did Da Piaoliang do this on purpose?"

"Space is not your home. If you create such an orbital area, others will blame you for crashing into their satellites."

"Didn't you say there was a solution? What do we do?"

"What else can we do? Of course we can just shoot down their satellite. Have you forgotten the 'accidental collision' when 20,000 satellites were launched? Umbrella even 'paid for it'."

"Haha, now I remember it now that you mention it!"

"Yes, Umbrella is not afraid of these..."

"Brothers, if a satellite is destroyed, there will be debris. Wouldn't a large amount of debris increase the probability of a hit?"

“It seems so…”

“…”

While all parties were paying attention and many people were expressing different opinions and continuing to discuss the issue.

Da Piaoliang also seemed to realize the problem belatedly.

NASA held a public press conference and gave a special explanation.

"We definitely didn't do this on purpose. We have always supported the Nantianmen Project. It is a bridgehead against alien visitors, so we would never do this!"

Then a reporter asked the NASA spokesperson.

"Then how do you explain these satellites?"

The NASA spokesperson, who was well prepared, sighed and said

"These satellites are old satellites, their orbits are unstable, and they often change slightly, and we are no longer able to adjust them."

The NASA spokesperson sounded somewhat regretful.

Then a reporter from the Neon Sankei Shimbun asked:

"Then, since you can't solve the problem, do you agree that Umbrella Corporation should just shoot it down to protect its own orbit?"

This question can be said to be very sharp.

Now Neon has almost completely turned to Umbrella. Even the Umbrella troops stationed there can clearly feel Neon's attitude.

In this beautiful House of Commons, there are stupid MPs raising compensation issues every day!

Neon can also smell crisis.

Da Piaoliang still wanted to eat meat afterwards!

In this situation, faced with a choice between the two big bosses, Umbrella would naturally be chosen.

"No, absolutely not! Although the satellite is out of control and its propellant is exhausted, it is still our sacred and inviolable property and is still working!"

He spoke strongly at first, but then he slowed down a little and said

"Space is actually very vast. Isn't there still a difference of several dozen kilometers? According to the new rules we established earlier, accidental collisions in space are borne by both parties. This is a regrettable accident."

The new rules that the spokesperson mentioned were proposed during the emergency consultation to limit the number of satellites launched when Umbrella's mass projector was first introduced.

"At the beginning, it was Umbrella who took the initiative to propose it. After all, they had too many satellites at the time. This was actually in their favor and they agreed to it. Now, we can only pray that we won't be so unlucky..."

The NASA spokesperson could be said to be using Umbrella's own words to shut them up. Although he expressed regret, there was still a hint of smile on his face.

After this press conference was broadcast, it caused an uproar.

"Out of control? But still working?"

"No, this is too obvious."

"One close approach was an accident, but what if several of them were close?"

"Although we are more than 30 kilometers apart, it is not safe in space."

"But this was originally proposed by Umbrella, and they relied on the launch speed to get everyone to agree."

"this……"

"Umbrella's space elevator plan should have been prepared a long time ago. Why didn't they think of this?"

"Alas, this time I really can only pray, there is no other way."

"You're shooting yourself in the foot."

“…”

Amid all these voices, Umbrella no longer specifically accused Da Piaoliang of anything.

They just keep announcing the new orbital changes of those satellites.

The connecting cable to the space elevator gets closer every time it passes.

At this time, according to the approximate position of the pendulum, although the gravity pendulum has entered the atmosphere and is still slowly falling, the line behind it is hanging there!

"Damn it, this is right above Penglai!"

"Now we are hanging on by the force. If the track breaks, Penglai will be hurt if it falls from this height, right?"

"I suddenly feel a little depressed."

"Yeah, there's a high chance that Da Piaoliang did it on purpose, but there's nothing we can do about it, alas."

"Is Da Piaoliang so unpopular? Why do they get blamed for every bad thing that happens?"

"Because that's exactly what they are like..."

“…”

The live broadcast of the Umbrella Orbital Connection Project, which was originally going well, now had a vague feeling that a happy event had turned into a funeral.

An invisible dark cloud shrouded the entire blue planet!

Many of Da Piaoliang's overseas bases are active and undergoing some adjustments.

At the same time, it also directly announced the test launch of the Trident nuclear submarine to test the missile performance.

Normal detection test, hope there is no misinterpretation!

If it weren't for old Morgan who forcibly used his influence to make a move at the organization's meeting and then started to pry open Da Piaoliang.

At present, we really won't conduct such "excessive temptations".

The space elevator is definitely an extremely important project for Umbrella, and the gravity pendulum may also threaten Penglai.

If this is not controlled well, a full-scale conflict may break out!

But unfortunately, old Morgan had already hooked up with Enzo, and some of his preparations and ideas were completely different, and his methods were much more radical.

To some extent, it can be considered that Wang Yi is provoking himself...

Then the Umbrella official website appeared again with an update

"It is predicted that a satellite will collide with the orbit next time. If it is found out later that this was done intentionally , we will take drastic measures!"

Umbrella's remarks also made Da Piaoliang, who had been making active preparations, feel a little solemn and confused.

A group of people gathered in a safe house and someone said strangely

"They really didn't take the initiative to shoot down our satellite?"

"Since when did Umbrella become so obedient?"

"This..., it won't really crash down, right? That scene might end badly."

For both the organization and the vast majority of the people, this was just a "test". They were not like old Morgan.

Therefore, the initial expectation was that Umbrella would ignore Da Piaoliang's warnings and dissuasion and be the first to shoot down the satellite.

That way, any subsequent problems caused by satellite debris cannot be blamed on them.

On the other hand, they can also occupy the moral high ground and have an innate advantage in public opinion.

It was you who shot down our satellite!

But now...

Why don't they look like they're ready to fight?

Can't you tell which is more important?

"This? They don't really want to have a full-scale clash with us, do they?"

"No way? They have always been very rational!"

"Betting we'll eventually adjust?"

"This, how about we adjust it?"

"Please, this is really a scrapped satellite. The propellant has been used up and there is not much left. There is really no way to change it..."

Da Piaoliang, who was originally full of confidence and ready to occupy the high ground, suddenly seemed to be in a difficult situation.
