Everyone watched as the satellite was pushed up into the sky step by step by the propeller, until finally it was no longer visible to the naked eye.
Liu Zhongmin clapped his hands:
"Let's go back and wait for news. The satellite is expected to enter orbit in about eight to ten hours. It's a waste of time for us to wait here."
Everyone nodded, and then took the car back to Longke Academy.
Because the time was relatively long, Xu Zhou returned to his scientific research base first, where he still had a lot of work to continue.
At the same time, Longguo's senior officials had already taken corresponding actions.
The first thing is to contact the leaders of the Alliance of Small Countries in the Middle East.
The other party was also very excited when he received the call from Long Guo. More than a week had passed, and Long Guo finally took action after accepting the commission.
Xia Yi laughed directly in the encrypted call:
"First of all, let me confirm. Your request is to permanently eliminate the underground virus laboratory, right?"
"Yes, as long as Longguo can help us solve this source of danger, we guarantee that the rice dollar will continue to fade out of the oil trading settlement market!"
"Okay, sir, let me digress. A depth of more than ten meters underground, or even a depth of thirty meters, and the destruction was completed in an instant. What does this mean... Do you understand what it means?"
"clear!"
Xia Yi smiled with satisfaction:
"Then we have only one final request. Please clear away all people and creatures near these laboratories within five hours, and evacuate all people within a ten-kilometer radius. Otherwise, we will not want to see casualties."
The head of the Alliance of Small Countries in the Middle East was shocked when he heard this.
He quickly asked:
"Sir, you don't want to drop nuclear weapons on our country, do you?"
"Hahaha, how is that possible? Our Dragon Kingdom guarantees that the method used is absolutely clean and environmentally friendly. The reason why it is within ten kilometers is just to ensure a sufficient safe distance. We guarantee that after the matter is over, you can even return to this land one day later. Build your home again!”
Hearing Xia Yi say this, the other party was obviously relieved. Finally, the two parties confirmed the time and hung up the phone.
At the same time, various countries in the Alliance of Small Countries in the Middle East began to take action.
In order to avoid public anxiety, they did not disclose the virus laboratory.
Therefore, there are still many people living around many laboratories. Now that they have received accurate information from the Dragon Kingdom, governments of various countries have begun rapid evacuation orders.
No matter men, women, old or young, all poultry and livestock, please evacuate!
In order to spread the influence, official media and television media continuously broadcast evacuation information in a loop.
Fortunately, the populations of these small countries in the Middle East are not large, so there is plenty of time for evacuation operations.
But such behavior has attracted the attention of other countries, especially Israel, which is not far away.
They knew about the transactions between the United States and small countries in the Middle East. Now that there was a large-scale evacuation of the population, they naturally informed the United States as soon as possible.
After receiving the news, senior figures in the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) reported it to the country's core power levels.
After US Vice President Harris heard the news, the subordinates around him smiled and said:
"These ants in the Middle East really like to jump around. It seems that the lessons learned over the years are not enough!"
Other members of the parliament on the side laughed after hearing this:
"They may think they are stronger now and are trying to avoid the old ways, but they seem to have forgotten the punches they have received."
"I don't think this matter has any impact. Our laboratory is ten to thirty meters deep underground. At such a depth, let alone them, even we can't destroy it in an instant."
"Yes, maybe the evacuees are just scared."
Harris also nodded in approval.
"For us, the only opponent now is the Dragon Kingdom! Although Bai Deng is a confused man, we are unanimous on this point!"
"Dragon Kingdom is a country that is very good at creating miracles. Over the years, they have cleverly resolved various sanctions against us. This time the oil settlement system is related to whether our dominance can be continued and there is no room for failure!"
After speaking, he looked at his subordinates, and one of them said:
"Dragon Kingdom may really have some strength, but it is undeniable that we underestimated the enemy before. Now that we are determined to take action, I don't think they really have the strength to stop us!"
"Yes, Mr. President, you think too highly of them. The alliance of small countries in the Middle East has been speaking out for so long, and they must have asked for help. The Dragon Kingdom still doesn't dare to say a word, hahaha."
"That's really the case. I think the alliance of small countries in the Middle East is also very desperate. The Dragon Kingdom and the others are helpless."
Harris felt a little more relaxed when everyone said this, and asked casually:
"Has the Dragon Kingdom made any big moves recently? Although I also think they can't do anything, doing nothing doesn't seem to be in line with their character."
"Hmm... Thinking about it, it seems that they just launched a satellite and did nothing else. However, they are as strong as ever in our negotiations for the return of nuclear submarines."
Harris breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand.
"It doesn't matter. Although the Ohio-class submarines are important, they will soon be replaced by a new generation of Columbia-class submarines. Even if they learn them, they will still be backward technologies. The oil settlement system is the top priority now."
After speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.
As for the possibility that Long Guo could solve the virus laboratory in the Middle East, everyone subconsciously felt that it was impossible to complete, so they did not continue to discuss it.
This kind of thing is difficult for the United States to achieve on their own, let alone the Dragon Kingdom?
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Longguo received news from the Alliance of Small Countries in the Middle East that all personnel within ten kilometers of the laboratory had been evacuated.
Next, if Long Guo has any ability, just take action.
After Long Guo received the news, it quickly spread to the Dragon Science Academy.
Finally, at around four o'clock in the afternoon, with everyone's eager anticipation, the space-based weapons carrying satellite was officially inserted into orbit!
At this time, Xu Zhou also received Liu Zhongmin's message and quickly rushed from the scientific research base to the conference room of the Academy of Dragon Science.
Here, a group of scientific researchers who participated in the construction of the space base are all ready, waiting to see the historic scene next.
When Liu Zhongmin saw Xu Zhou coming in, he immediately said:
"Academician Xu, come here."
Xu Zhou hurried over and saw that the satellite on the screen showed that it was running smoothly in orbit.
"Finally on track!"
"Yes, the next step is to officially implement our plan!"
After speaking, he looked at Xu Zhou and said:
"We are only assisting in the formation of space-based weapons. The main design is done by you, so the first attack will be left to you!"
Xu Zhou glanced at Liu Zhongmin with some emotion. In front of so many people, he knew that the other party was trying to gain prestige for him.
Especially when the news of the establishment of the Ark Academy of Sciences came out soon, he was too young and somewhat lacking in dignity.
And the dean is helping him now.
"Dean..."
"No more nonsense, we are waiting to see your performance!"
Xu Zhou stopped talking nonsense when he heard this, and then nodded heavily and looked at the screen.
"Confirm once again, have all seven target areas been evacuated?"
"Confirm evacuation!"
"Confirm once again whether the attack can be carried out!"
"Confirm execution!"
When Xu Zhou heard this, he no longer felt any burden, and he continued to enter instructions on the control program he designed on the computer.
Also observe via auxiliary satellites before proceeding with adjustments.
In this way, while confirming, he entered the data and made modifications. Finally, after all the data turned green and was correct, Xu Zhou glanced at the people present.
Then he took a deep breath and said:
"Everyone..."
"Space-based weapon - Divine Power!"
"Officially implement the first target strike!!"
The next moment he raised his right hand high and fiercely pressed the black button in front of him!
And in distant space orbit.
The satellite controlled by the information transmission opened four huge solar sails and then advanced to the predetermined target position.
After a silent mechanical change, a metal tungsten rod as black as ink appeared on the middle preview track!
And below it is the target in the Middle East, the virus laboratory!
