27: The CIA is on the move! The Great Xia military is shocked!
The Eagle Nation, CIA headquarters.
Triff smashed his office to pieces.
Documents were scattered everywhere, and the coffee cup was shattered into shards.
His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the map of the Great Xia Country on the wall.
"Three days! Only three days!"
"If I can't find out, I'll be out of a job!"
The deputy stood at the doorway, not daring to breathe.
Triff suddenly turned around, his eyes filled with madness.
"Activate the 'Sleepers'!"
The deputy looked up sharply, his face turning pale.
"Director, you can't!"
"The 'Sleepers' have been hidden for 20 years and are only meant to be activated during a major crisis!"
"If we activate them now, we'll expose all our informants if the Great Xia Country finds out!"
"Exposed?" Triff sneered, his teeth chattering. "Is exposing informants more important now, or is finding out about the Great Xia Country's Laser Cannon more important?"
"They were able to shoot down three Starlink Satellites! They'll be able to shoot down even more of our satellites!"
"When that happens, who will be held responsible for the losses?"
"Besides, the President only gave us 3 days."
"If we can't find out in 3 days, everyone is out of a job!"
"This..." The deputy wanted to persuade him otherwise, but didn't know how to speak up.
He couldn't even keep his own position.
Why bother worrying about exposing the hidden assets?
Triff picked up a black phone and dialed a special number:
"Send a message to 'Old Ghost', at any cost, investigate the recent test projects at the Xia Academy of Sciences!"
"Even if it means overturning the entire intelligence network, I need that data!"
"Also, send our global hawk drone to monitor that location in the Great Xia Country!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, followed by a cold "Yes."
Triff hung up the phone and slumped into his chair.
He stared at the ceiling, his eyes full of ruthlessness.
"Great Xia Country, let's see how you hide this time!"
Meanwhile, at the Great Xia Country, Capital Military Satellite Monitoring Center.
They also discovered the incident where the Eagle Nation satellites disappeared.
After reporting it, a staff officer was investigating.
"Wait! Rewind the footage from just now!"
Staff Officer Wang's voice trembled slightly as he stared intently at the screen.
"Understood!"
The technician was a bit nervous, but his movements were very nimble.
Suddenly! A white light flashed across the screen!
The three Starlink Satellites of the Eagle Nation vanished instantly.
"This is..." Staff Officer Wang was instantly shocked. "A Laser Cannon?!"
He watched it several more times. He finally confirmed that it was indeed a Laser Cannon.
"Investigate! Immediately find the source of this beam!"
Staff Officer Wang's voice was trembling with excitement.
"Received!"
Ten minutes later, the technician brought the investigation results and said excitedly:
"Found it! The beam came from the Xia Academy of Sciences test base!"
"Xia Academy of Sciences?!" Staff Officer Wang stood up straight, his eyes filled with excitement. "When did they come up with such an advanced Laser Cannon?"
"And they didn't even notify our military?"
After the shock, Staff Officer Wang immediately picked up the red phone and dialed a number:
"General! Great news!"
"The Xia Academy of Sciences tested a new type of Laser Cannon, which penetrated the atmosphere and shot down three Eagle Nation satellites!"
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the intercom, followed by a hurried and excited order: "I'm heading over now. You go to the Xia Academy of Sciences and wait for me!"
"Understood, General!"
Staff Officer Wang excitedly hung up the phone, then took the technician and hurried to the Xia Academy of Sciences.
Xia Academy of Sciences. Li Jianguo's office.
Lin Chen had just taken a sip of tea when Li Jianguo sat down next to him and asked excitedly:
"Xiao Lin! Honestly, was it on purpose that you targeted those three Starlink Satellites?"
Lin Chen put down his teacup and nodded with a smile: "Definitely not on purpose! They were just unlucky, they happened to pass through the path of the laser attack!"
"Unlucky?" Li Jianguo was speechless and rolled his eyes at Lin Chen. "Are you trying to say that their satellites crashed into your Laser Cannon on their own?"
"Hehe, Dean Li understands me!" Lin Chen chuckled.
He rarely showed such a relaxed side. He only acted like this in front of Li Jianguo.
Li Jianguo was speechless, feeling really helpless toward Lin Chen. "You! You have no idea what kind of consequences this will trigger!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Jianguo suddenly got excited himself.
"However, you did a great job!"
"In the past, the Eagle Nation was always crashing into our satellites, but now we've finally gotten our revenge!"
As a high-level official at the Xia Academy of Sciences, Li Jianguo certainly knew some things that others didn't.
For example, the Great Xia Country's satellites would occasionally lose contact for no reason. It was because the Eagle Nation used their nearly scrapped satellites to crash into them.
This time, Lin Chen's actions could be considered venting the long-pent-up anger of the Great Xia Country.
Li Jianguo appreciated Lin Chen more and more. Not only was his research ability strong, but he was also so decisive and fearless when facing problems!
He would definitely be able to shoulder the burden of the Great Xia Country's scientific research in the future!
Li Jianguo patted Lin Chen on the shoulder, his eyes full of approval. "However,"
"Dean Li! Don't worry, that kind of thing won't happen again in the future!"
"After this Laser Cannon goes into mass production, not even a fly will be able to enter the airspace of our Great Xia Country at will!"
Lin Chen's gaze was firm, and his tone was full of confidence.
Didn't the Eagle Nation always send their fighter jets to frantically probe the edge of the Great Xia Country's airspace?
Even back in the early 2000s, they caused a Great Xia Country Pilot to sacrifice his life heroically.
This grudge must be avenged!
If the Eagle Nation's fighter jets dare to come and show off again, they will definitely be shot down!
"Xiao Lin, I believe you can do it!"
Li Jianguo firmly patted Lin Chen's shoulder, his eyes full of trust and anticipation.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the office door.
Li Jianguo stood up. "Come in!"
A group of people in military uniforms walked in.
The leader, wearing a crisp general's uniform with three shining gold stars on his shoulders, was none other than General Zhang from the military.
Li Jianguo hurriedly stepped forward: "General Zhang, why are you here?"
General Zhang asked with anticipation: "Dean Li, did you test fire a Laser Cannon today?"
Li Jianguo nodded. "Yes..."
"It really was you? That's great!" General Zhang instantly became excited. "And you were the ones who destroyed those 3 Eagle Nation satellites?"
"Yes!"
"Good!" General Zhang clapped his hands in approval. "Whose idea was it?"
At this moment, because General Zhang was too excited, he hadn't noticed Lin Chen's presence yet.
Even if he had noticed, he would have assumed Lin Chen was just Li Jianguo's assistant. After all, Lin Chen was too young.
Li Jianguo was silent for two seconds, but still truthfully replied, "It was our Chief Designer Lin who set the test target!"
"Chief Designer Lin?" General Zhang asked in confusion, then followed up: "Where is he? Can you take me to see him?"
Li Jianguo turned around and introduced him to Lin Chen: "General Zhang, this is Chief Designer Lin. He led the development of the new Laser Cannon!"
"You are Chief Designer Lin?" General Zhang was full of surprise. "You're too young!"
"It is me!" Lin Chen replied neither servile nor overbearing, smiling and greeting him: "Hello, General Zhang!"
"To be a Chief Designer at such a young age! Truly, heroes come from the youth!"
"Haha! Using a Laser Cannon to hit the Eagle Nation's satellites, only you young people could pull that off!"
After his surprise, General Zhang was full of admiration. He did not doubt Lin Chen's identity.
Since he could appear in Li Jianguo's office and was introduced by Li Jianguo himself, it definitely couldn't be fake!
Next, Lin Chen began to briefly introduce the performance of the Super Energy Laser Cannon.
The more General Zhang listened, the heavier his breathing became.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Finally, General Zhang said the word 'Good' three times. You could even see his eyes turning red.
"Chief Designer Lin, can this Laser Cannon be mass-produced?"
General Zhang looked at Lin Chen with hope.
"Yes!" Lin Chen nodded heavily.
He could feel General Zhang's burning passion and anticipation.
He also understood the significant importance of this Laser Cannon to national security.
"Really?!" General Zhang was pleasantly surprised, then so excited he slapped his thigh. "That's great! Once it's mass-produced, the airspace of our Great Xia Country will be safe!"
"We can even mount it on warships as a superweapon!"
As he spoke, General Zhang thought of the endurance issue and suddenly sighed.
"It's just a pity that it can't be equipped for the army units, otherwise it would be perfect!"
"Chief Designer Lin, don't you agree!"
Lin Chen shook his head. "General Zhang, the new Laser Cannon has already solved the endurance issue; it can be deployed throughout the entire military!"
"What?" General Zhang was stunned, then stared sharply at Lin Chen. "You said the endurance issue is solved?"
General Zhang turned his head sharply and stared at Lin Chen: "Chief Designer Lin, can you let us witness a test?"
Lin Chen nodded and directly stated a set of data.
When General Zhang heard it, he became excited like a child again.
"That's great!"
"This time, our army can also deploy mobile Laser Cannons!"
After his excitement, General Zhang asked with anticipation: "Chief Designer Lin, can we go and see the actual test in person?"
Lin Chen nodded: "Of course, our Engineer is at the test site right now!"
"Alright then! Let's go over and see it now!"
General Zhang couldn't wait to see the new Laser Cannon.
Soon, the group hurried to the Laser Cannon test site.
At this time, the Laser Cannon was testing flat-firing to penetrate steel plates.
"Fire!"
