After a long journey of nine and a half years, the Beyond Horizon probe arrived at Pluto as scheduled. It sent back clear images to humans. After completing that important experiment, it flew toward the outer reaches of the solar system at high speed, dragging a long, long carbon fiber thread behind it.
79 light-years away, Regulus, the main star of Leo, shines with blue light at a temperature of more than 10,000 degrees. Jupiter's revolution period is 11.86 years. Today, it once again comes to the line connecting Regulus and the sun. The magnetic field on the surface of the sun's photosphere is surging, new sunspots are being generated, heat waves are sweeping across the earth, and Europe is experiencing the hottest summer on record.
On the same day, the capital of Caiwa Kingdom, Donau Castle
At one end of the conference room, the table is arranged in a U shape with the opening facing outward. Behind the table sat representatives from various countries, with the flags of their respective countries behind them. While the photojournalists on the other side of the isolation line were bombarding with guns and flashlights in turn, the text reporters couldn't wait to send back brief but important news: Liang Kingdom and many other countries signed the "Cooperation and Co-management Implementation Steps Plan" with the Jade Khanate. ”, also known as the Jade Khanate Nuclear Limitation Agreement.
The representative of country F stood up, watched the reporters rushing to the interview area, picked up the champagne from the waiter's tray, and said elegantly to other representatives: "Gentlemen, I propose that we all set a difficult but successful milestone. Cheers!" The representative of Liangguo hesitated for a moment and said: "The representatives signing today are all at the ministerial level. I'm afraid this agreement still needs to be signed by our governors and heads of state, and then it will be voted and approved by the International Family Council. , then it officially comes into effect.”
The representative of the Jade Khanate rarely agreed and said: "I also need to be confirmed by our highest level again." The representative of Country F shrugged helplessly and said: "Okay, gentlemen, is 48 hours enough? International Family Director The meeting will hold a regular meeting in 6 days, and I am personally happy to see that this agreement can be successfully submitted and passed!"
A representative from a big country walked up to the representative from country F and said with a smile: "Happy National Day!" The representative from country F laughed heartily: "Thank you! Thank you! At the fireworks concert in Xiangmo City tonight, there will be people from your country Famous pianist performs!”
A few hours later, the capital of country F, Xiangmo City
July 14th is the National Day of Country F. At night, 800,000 people surged into Apollo Square under the big iron tower in an orderly manner. The third Xiangmo City National Day Fireworks and Music Party was about to begin.
Jennifer Braun comes from country G, which is also in Europe. She is a first-year freshman at the School of Physics at Sirule University, a newly established super university in country F. Although school officially started in September, Jennifer came to Xiangmo City in early July. Yesterday, her cousin Daphne Braun, who came to Xiangmo City from Liangguo Rocket City for vacation, met Jennifer. Today, the two sisters came to the party by the Popang River.
The concert began. The first piece was the "Hungarian March" by the famous composer Berlioz, also known as the "Rakoczy March". It was selected from the opera "The Damned of Faust" and was performed by the Xiangmo City National Orchestra. Exciting trumpets and bright string music were sent from hundreds of speakers placed on both sides of the square, and Apollo Square was filled with joy!
Jennifer was immersed in the huge sound and felt someone tap her shoulder. When she turned around, she saw it was Bashir and Camilla.
"What a coincidence, Jennifer, you're here too!" Bashir shouted.
"They are my classmates and freshmen, from the country of Mojin." Jennifer introduced to Daphne, who greeted them warmly. Bashir said to Daphne: "You have just arrived in Xiangmo City and haven't been to the scenic spots yet? Today's party focuses on the main scenic spots in Xiangmo City! I will draw it for you."
Daphne looked at Bashir in confusion. Bashir took out his drawing book and pencils from his backpack as if by magic, looked at the layout of the party, and compared drawings with his pencils. Bashir drew a large iron tower on the drawing paper as the background, and then drew the glass pyramid at the entrance of the National Museum underneath. After showing it to the sisters, he erased the bottom of the pyramid, leaving only the glass sloping roof. The Victory Gate was painted under the roof. After the display, the lower part of the Victory Gate was erased, leaving only the wide lintel. Then, outline the two symmetrical boxes a few times and show them to the sisters. Daphne screamed, isn't this the stage of tonight's party?
Below the big iron tower, a stage is set up on an artificial platform. On both sides of the stage are two symmetrical electronic screens, which are the same as the upper model of the Victory Gate. The best thing is that the entire stage is covered with a glass sloped roof. Daphne gave two thumbs up and smiled brightly. Camilla, who was always quiet on the side, took a series of photos with her mobile phone.
Camilla's real name is Rosanna, and she is from the Jade Khan like Bashir. The Intelligence Bureau of the Jade Khan sent the two of them to Xiangmo City in Country F to study. Today is the first time the two of them perform a mission. If they receive the order, they will try to stun Daphne and hand it over to the peripheral operations team for kidnapping.
Roxana swiped her phone seemingly unintentionally, selected a photo of Daphne, and sent it. After being encrypted multiple times, it would be displayed on the phone of the person on the other side of the world.
The fireworks show in the second half of the concert is about to begin, and the well-known signal is the chorus triggered by the Kishan Port March, the national anthem of Country F. Before that, the last piece of the first half was Bernstein's "West Side Story." The combination of jazz and classic symphony, with frequent and rich harmonies and key changes, is ultimately inferior to the magnificence of European opera overtures. It seems to be the foreshadowing before the climax of the fireworks feast.
The restlessness of the crowd calmed down a bit, and with the changing pitch of the trumpet and stopper in the music, it became a bit strange and trance-like.
Bashir wrote on the drawing paper that the music was like a Hitchcock suspense movie. Daphne took the pen and added that it depicts the West End of Nidu, more like the West of Liang Country!
At this moment, Liangguo Rocket City
San Juan Restaurant is located 500 meters away from the main office building of the Liangguo National Space Administration, and operates Jianqiangguo cuisine and a bar. Unlike most restaurants, lunch in this restaurant is more formal than dinner. It can be said that lunch is a formal meal and it is open 24 hours a day. This is because the main customers of the restaurant are employees of the Chinese Space Administration, and most of them work night shifts for observation and control. Many customers treat lunch as a main meal, and even drink in the bar area at one or two o'clock in the afternoon, because they have reversed day and night.
In the morning, Abboud came to the restaurant and sat at a table in the dining area near the bar. He ordered coffee and leisurely flipped through his phone. Abboud is the commercial representative of the Jade Khanate National Oil Company in Rocket City and a senior agent of the Jade Khanate Intelligence Bureau.
A picture of Daphne popped up on the phone, and Abboud imagined Professor Braun's reaction when he saw the picture a moment later. He wants to threaten the professor's baby daughter in exchange for information about the success of the Transcendent Vision experiment.
After a while, the target appeared. Professor Braun, the leader of the Transcendent Vision Probe project of the Chinese Space Agency, and six or seven men and women with excited faces almost rushed into the restaurant and went straight to the bar area, asking for whiskey. , several people high-fived each other and pretended to whisper: "We did it! Heat signal, is Tesla a god?"
Abboud paid the bill, walked out of the restaurant silently, and used his mobile phone to send an encrypted reply of two words to the sender of the photo: Cancel.
At this moment, the capital of the Jade Khanate, Plateau City
Abboud's wife put down the phone and reported to Hamid, the head of the intelligence agency next to her: "Abboud said that the neighbor's little girl's toy was bought." Hamid stood up, walked outside the porch, took out his special mobile phone, and Called and said: "The Liang people's experiment was successful. Our 'Little Girl' plan is feasible. In theory, we have found a deterrent alternative to nuclear weapons. It is recommended that you approve and notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We agree to limit the development of nuclear weapons and will Agreement submitted to the International Council of Families.”
On July 20, 2015, the International Family Council voted to adopt the Jade Khanate’s nuclear restriction agreement.
