278: Chapter 278 Quantum Information Satellite

"Boss, let me introduce you..."

Unaware of this honor, Zhao Guogang eagerly introduced the Quantum Information Satellite to Lin Fang.

This satellite was diamond-shaped, about one meter wide and two meters high, with a gray surface. Aside from the three tripods supporting it and the folded solar panels at both ends, its twelve-sided structure was incredibly smooth.

According to Zhao Guogang's introduction, these twelve sides contained over a hundred sets of precision radar and various optical cameras, capable of capturing high-definition images of the ground at a 'meter' level. If the Quantum Information Satellite was lowered to a low-Earth orbit of 1,200 km, it could even take ultra-high-definition pictures at a 'centimeter' level.

"Boss, besides basic navigation, it has two major functions," Zhao Guogang said, as if enumerating his family treasures. "First is its greatest feature: it supports quantum communication, with zero delay, no decryption, and no interference. It is currently the most secure communication method in the world.

"Second is remote sensing imaging. Whether it's climate monitoring or terrain mapping, it can provide top-tier data support..."

Overall, this Quantum Information Satellite technology surpassed the current Earth by more than fifty years; it would take several iterations before even a hint of it could be seen.

Lin Fang asked, "Can it avoid being discovered by others?"

"Boss, that's for certain."

Zhao Guogang nodded and said confidently, "The company's database contains technology for this. This gray layer is a stealth coating we applied to the satellite's surface. This coating can absorb all-band electromagnetic radiation, infrared thermal waves, and radar waves, reducing the satellite's own electromagnetic signature and thermal radiation to near zero. Even the most advanced monitoring stations will only see a blank area with no signal when scanning here."

After learning more, Lin Fang said to Zhao Guogang, "Professor Zhao, you've done a great job. Proceed with the launch operations as soon as possible."

"Boss, it's my duty, but I'm a bit worried. I'm afraid that launching the satellites will be intercepted by other countries in this world, which would put us at a relative disadvantage."

Zhao Guogang's concerns were not unfounded; before joining Third-Party Technology, he had encountered many such instances.

"Don't worry about that, just launch them openly,"

Lin Fang said after a moment's thought. Not to mention they wouldn't have the courage now, even if they did have such intentions, Number Three would immediately detect the order as soon as it was issued. At that point, they could only blame themselves.

To ensure Number Three had sufficient computing power, Lin Fang had established a large data center in Mavidais, where thousands of supercomputers were already enough for Number Three's use.

"That's good!"

Zhao Guogang broke into a smile and immediately went to guide a squad of Clone Soldiers to transport the satellites onto the rockets. These rockets used high-energy fuel and were several times faster than conventional carrier rockets.

An hour and a half later, Lin Fang received news that the satellites had successfully entered orbit.

These satellites would help Third-Party Technology keep a firm eye on this planet and the upcoming war with Verland.

With the Quantum Information Satellites, Number Three could exert deeper control over Third-Party Technology's troops. Due to the zero delay, it could even individually control each combat unit, maximizing combat effectiveness. Unmanned equipment and automatic fire would also become more precise.

Time reached midnight.

Lin Fang received news that the initial ten thousand Heavy Armored Tyrants had been completely wiped out. From the information brought back by the U.S.S. Unit, he also saw combat personnel gradually emerging from the Mist. Unlike those encountered before, they wore armor forged from a certain alloy.

With this armor, just two combat personnel could hold their own remarkably well against a Tyrant. Although this Tyrant was injured, it was still astounding.

Looking at the video, the two men's movements were not significantly hindered, but the strength and defense provided by the armor were truly impressive.

To avoid attracting their attention, the members of the U.S.S. Unit left after recording from a maximum distance.

Exoskeleton Armor?

After watching, Lin Fang thought in surprise.

This kind of thing also existed in the Black Watch Base, but it was too bulky and hadn't been deployed to the troops; it was only suitable for use on bodies with great individual strength like the Tyrants.

The ones worn by these Verland soldiers were much better. It was clear that the opponent's technological accumulation in individual equipment was far more mature than the semi-finished products of Black Watch. No wonder they could fight with a Tyrant.

Regrettably, none of the flight squadrons that ventured deep into the Mist had returned yet; they were likely gone.

Suddenly, Number Three's voice rang out: [Boss, I see Verland's first wave of troops.]

On the holographic projection, red dots began to appear one after another around the Mist Wall, which spanned 4,000 kilometers. In an instant, the red dots exploded to hundreds of thousands, most of them creatures like Aliens.

They sniffed the air, their skeletal carapaces emitting a cold light under the moonlight.

Number Three's current computing network could seamlessly interface with the orbiting Quantum Information Satellites to analyze all captured battlefield data in real-time. Even with billion-level target clusters, it could accurately identify and classify them without any errors.

Of course, compared to Xiao Hei, its computing power was still many levels below.

Without needing Lin Fang's command, the fleet's firepower on the ocean had already arrived. Countless cruise missiles tore through the night sky, leaving trails of flame behind them as they slammed into the areas where the Aliens were emerging, like spears thrown by the gods.

The flashes from the explosions merged into one, instantly illuminating the earth like day. Before such concentrated firepower, even creatures as strong as Aliens could only die with regret. The red dots on the projection suddenly decreased by a third.

Since signals could not pass through the Mist area, Lin Fang planned to let them all out to fight. This was the advantage of fighting on one's home turf.

The sound of explosions kicked off the war and caused the alarms of monitoring stations across the Pokémon World to blare. Only then did they belatedly realize why a company like Third-Party Technology was so prepared.

It turned out there was an unknown enemy within the Mist.

In the American Underground Command Center, the generals who had been urgently awakened stared at the images from the global satellite monitoring network, their faces grim.

"Report! Confirmation of a large-scale energy burst detected in Osialia!"

A young officer said solemnly, "Sir, the preliminary judgment is... is that Third-Party Technology Company is engaging with unknown hostile forces. The front line spans four thousand kilometers!"

"Have you found out who their enemy is?"

"Not... not yet."

"Go find out now!!"
