129: India is in trouble! The US is adding insult to injury!
While the entire nation of India was celebrating, their rocket had already entered the blackout zone.
Simultaneously, they lost contact with the ground because India had not yet mastered the technology for communication through the blackout zone.
The moment the rocket entered the blackout zone, an alarm inside the crew cabin suddenly shrieked.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!"
"Energy pipeline ruptured, energy leakage occurring!"
Astronaut Singh turned pale with fright instantly, his eyes filled with despair!
"Damn it, we still couldn't escape it in the end?"
The young astronaut's voice trembled, "What's going on? Is something really going to happen?"
Another astronaut, pale-faced, stared at the flashing red dashboard, "The thrusters... the thrusters have also started to spin out of control! It's over..."
It seemed they had long guessed this outcome.
They already knew that this time, it was truly over.
As expected!
Their guess was correct.
After the failure alarm, the entire rocket began to vibrate violently.
Singh's forehead beaded with sweat; he was unwilling to give up.
He still attempted to manually correct the orbit, his fingers flying across the control panel.
But the data on the screen jumped wildly, and all commands vanished like a stone cast into the sea.
"It's over! Even the control system has failed!"
Singh completely gave up hope!
Despair flooded his heart like a tide.
He turned to look at his companions.
The young astronaut's eyes were red, his lips trembling, unable to speak.
The other astronaut closed his eyes, tears sliding from the corners of his eyes.
The young astronaut suddenly burst into tears.
"I haven't had a chance to say goodbye to my parents yet..."
"I don't want to die..."
However!
The cabin vibration became increasingly violent, and the sound of twisting metal was ear-piercing.
Outside the porthole, flames began to rise, and the high heat of the blackout zone began to scorch the hull.
Singh tried hard to suppress his fear, wanting to calm himself down.
He attempted to comfort the other two young astronauts.
"You all..."
Before he could finish.
"Boom!"
After a terrifying explosion, the rocket disintegrated directly in the blackout zone.
And the three of them, including Singh, were blown to pieces.
...
On the ground.
India Space Agency.
"Finally, it has successfully entered the blackout zone."
"As long as it passes through the blackout zone... half the success is achieved."
The Engineers breathed a sigh of relief one after another.
Now they only needed to wait quietly.
However, time passed second by second.
The scheduled time to break through the blackout had arrived.
The communication screen was still full of static.
There was no sign of any signal connection.
The Engineers' previously relaxed hearts instantly tightened.
The heart of Engineer Raji was in his throat.
"fuck! What's going on?"
"Why is there still no signal after the time has passed?"
Engineer Amit, his eyes filled with worry, said:
"Could it be... could it be..."
He didn't dare to say the last few words.
The other Engineers also started to panic.
"Doesn't it only take 3 minutes to break through the blackout zone? Why hasn't there been contact after 5 minutes?"
All the Engineers seemed to have guessed what was going on, their eyes filled with fear and unease.
They looked at each other!
A moment later, Engineer Raji said in a deep voice: "Let's report the situation to the Prime Minister!"
All the Engineers nodded in agreement.
In this situation, it was certain that their rocket had met with an accident.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be unable to make contact.
On the other side.
Old Immortal Dimo was still happily chatting with the high-level officials of India.
Waiting for the good news of the rocket entering space.
Just then!
The secretary ran over in a panic and whispered in Old Immortal Dimo's ear.
"Pri... Prime Minister..."
"The rocket... the rocket lost contact in the blackout zone..."
"It's past the scheduled time... and there's still no signal..."
The smile on Old Immortal Dimo's face instantly vanished, his face turned livid, and he grabbed the secretary by the collar.
"What did you say?"
"It's true..."
The secretary replied with a mournful face, confirming it.
Old Immortal Dimo took a deep breath and suddenly let go.
The secretary collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.
Old Immortal Dimo's eyes flickered, and he suddenly sneered.
"What lost contact?"
"Our spacecraft has already successfully broken through the atmosphere!"
He turned and walked backstage.
Leaving behind a group of officials looking at each other in dismay.
Soon.
Old Immortal Dimo walked in front of the live broadcast camera.
His face was once again wearing the hypocritical smile of Yue Buqun.
"Fellow countrymen!"
"I am now announcing some good news!"
"Our spacecraft has successfully entered space."
"Shortly, it will fly towards the moon."
"Everyone, please look at the big screen!"
The camera followed Old Immortal Dimo's hand and shifted to the big screen.
At this moment, the big screen had already switched to a different scene.
India's spacecraft was flying in low-earth orbit.
This was a simulation animation that Old Immortal Dimo had had people prepare in advance, specifically to deceive the whole world in case something went wrong.
The moment they saw the big screen.
The Little Asan near the viewing platform instantly became excited.
"Haha! We have completed manned spaceflight!"
"Moon! We, India, are coming."
"Long live the Prime Minister!"
Those citizens didn't yet know they were being deceived.
At this moment, they were still excited.
Even those Little Asan in front of the television were moved to tears, shouting "Long live the Divine Ox."
In the livestream chat.
The comments were all: "India is the strongest!"
Even international netizens were a bit confused.
Some sharp-eyed ones discovered that the so-called 'real-time footage' released by India was actually just an animation.
Just as they were preparing to expose India.
The Eagle Country Space Agency suddenly released a video.
In the video.
It clearly captured the footage of the Indian rocket exploding in the blackout zone.
Flames shot into the sky, and debris scattered everywhere.
Once the video was released, it instantly set the entire internet ablaze.
Eagle Country netizens commented:
"Haha! I knew it would explode!"
"Is this India's space technology?"
"Old Immortal Dimo is still lying to people!"
Great Xia Country netizens commented:
"Hilarious! They play with simulation animations quite skillfully!"
"Three astronauts died in vain!"
"Is this the so-called Divine Ox protection?"
International public opinion instantly reversed.
India instantly became a joke.
The citizens on the streets, watching the explosion video on their phones.
Their smiles froze, and then they erupted into angry roars.
"Liar! Old Immortal Dimo is a liar!"
"Where are our astronauts?"
"Give us the truth!"
"..."
They rushed toward Old Immortal Dimo on the viewing platform.
Demanding an explanation!
India Space Agency.
The Engineers were watching the video released by the Eagle Country.
They all collapsed into their chairs.
Raji covered his face, tears flowing from between his fingers.
"What a sin..."
"We caused the death of three heroes..."
Old Immortal Dimo looked at the public opinion on his phone, trembling with rage.
"Eagle Country! How dare you ruin my good deed!"
"Just wait! I won't let you off!"
Just then.
"Pri... Prime Minister..."
"A large number of citizens... citizens have rushed in..."
"They want... want to find you to demand an explanation..."
Old Immortal Dimo's face turned pale, "Quick, take me out of here!"
Then!
Old Immortal Dimo was escorted away by bodyguards through a secret passage.
And the other high-level officials of India also followed and left.
These were all experiences.
A moment later.
Those Indian citizens rushed in and discovered that Old Immortal Dimo had already run away.
Each one was full of anger!
"Let's go, we're going to the government building!"
"We must have Old Immortal Dimo give us an explanation!"
With someone leading the way, the surrounding Little Asan swarmed toward the government building!
The entire nation of India began to riot.
