64: Chapter 64 Starlink Communication Satellites? They're All Military Spy Satellites!

Lin Mo felt a sudden tightening in his chest.

"Holy crap!"

His Aerospace Fighter's radar system was exceptional; surely it hadn't detected an alien fighter, had it?

He hurriedly scanned the area outside the cockpit, but found that it was basically just floating spacecraft debris. There were no alien fighters to be seen, and Lin Mo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a lot of space junk in low Earth orbit, especially in the last few years, ever since Eagle Country's SpaceX suddenly decided to launch some Starlink Project, planning to launch tens of thousands of communication satellites over the entire Blue Planet.

Most of this massive amount of space junk was their doing.

"Beep beep!"

"Enemy target encountered 10km ahead!"

"What?"

Lin Mo quickly activated the radar system's precision targeting. Soon, guided by the Aerospace Fighter's radar, he found the so-called "enemy target"—it was actually a satellite!

On the side of this satellite, there was even an Eagle Country bald eagle flag stuck to it!

Lin Mo frowned.

He was currently in the airspace of the China Supreme Military Region; why would an Eagle Country satellite appear here?

Just then, "Bzzt, bzzt!" The sound of radio waves rang out inside the Aerospace Fighter.

The satellite signal in space wasn't very good, and communication with the Supreme Military Region had been interrupted for several minutes.

Fortunately, after the Aerospace Fighter stabilized, the signal reconnected.

"Chief Designer Lin! Chief Designer Lin! Can you hear me?"

"I'm here, Chief of General Staff."

Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng's slightly weary voice rang out in the cockpit, and the image on the display screen appeared once again.

"Chief Designer Lin! How are you feeling right now?"

"Doing great, everything is under control."

Lin Mo saw that Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng's eyes were bloodshot and asked with concern.

"Chief of Staff, did you not rest well last night? Your eyes are all red."

Hearing this guy still had the heart to care about him, Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng felt like crying but had no tears.

"I am in good health, there is no need for your concern for the time being!"

"Chief Designer Lin, how much longer can your Aerospace Fighter's energy last?"

"We have already urgently arranged for the China National Space Administration to come over and specifically guide the space rescue for you!"

Lin Mo checked the total energy displayed on the Aerospace Fighter; less than one-tenth had been used.

"Let me see. Probably five more round trips."

Five... round trips? Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng shook his head. He quickly steadied his mind. The shock he had received in the past hour was already enough; this bit of shock was not worth mentioning. He quickly said with a serious expression.

"Chief Designer Lin, you are a soldier of our China, you should know that obeying orders is a soldier's duty!"

"I am now, in my capacity as the Chief of General Staff of the China Supreme Military Region, both ordering you and requesting you!"

"No matter what, your personal safety must be the highest priority, and every step of operating the Aerospace Fighter must be done with extreme caution!"

"If there is even the slightest risk in an operation, immediately stop any operation of the Aerospace Fighter!"

"The China National Space Administration will be here to guide you immediately, and we will spare no effort to carry out a space rescue for you!"

"Please remember! China really needs you!"

Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng's words were sincere and earnest, making Lin Mo feel a bit ashamed.

Captain Liu Zhihui also urged Lin Mo.

"Chief Designer Lin, how about we just go back!"

"This is our first time in outer space; if something really goes wrong up here, it doesn't matter if I, Old Liu, die, but if something happens to you, how can I answer to the people of China!"

In this completely unfamiliar environment, even Captain Liu Zhihui, the all-around soldier king who had long looked past life and death, felt his heart skip a beat.

The main thing was, he previously thought that the Exoskeleton Armor could assist with flight, which was the greatest insurance. Even if the Aerospace Fighter went out of control, there was no need to worry about safety.

But now, they were 550 kilometers above the ground! No matter how well the armor could fly, it couldn't fly back to the Blue Planet!

Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng took over and continued to speak sincerely and solemnly.

"Chief Designer Lin, you are now a pivotal figure in our China. In order to ensure your personal safety, the higher-ups have just given important instructions regarding rescue operations; we must use the power of the entire nation and spare no effort to carry out the highest-level rescue!"

"Please do believe in us!"

Listening to Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng's sincere words, Lin Mo was speechless.

It had been less than half an hour, and the reaction on the ground was actually this huge, even planning to organize some space rescue...

China had never organized a space rescue before; let's hope it doesn't turn into a situation where the rescue fails, and instead, he has to rescue them in reverse!

Thinking of this, Lin Mo had no choice but to say helplessly to Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng: "Chief of Staff, stop that space rescue thing immediately; it is not necessary at all!"

"Once we blow up this Eagle Country satellite, we will return immediately."

"It is also strange, why would there be an Eagle Country satellite in our China airspace?"

Before returning, Lin Mo did not forget the Eagle Country satellite not far away. He was worried about not knowing how to test the Aerospace Fighter's firepower system, and now it was perfect—there was a ready-made target!

Lin Mo pulled the joystick. He turned the laser cannon barrel, aiming at the Eagle Country satellite. He flipped the switch for the high-energy laser cannon's firing device and held down the red firing button.

"Vroom!!!" A red laser shot out!

The Eagle Country satellite was instantly annihilated!

Because there was no medium for sound to travel in space, everything was silent.

"Target destroyed." A voice prompt sounded inside the Aerospace Fighter.

At the same time, a system notification sound rang out in Lin Mo's mind!

[Ding!]

[You have destroyed one Eagle Country military spy satellite, successfully implemented a strategic intimidation against Eagle Country, and gained 10,000 prestige points!]

Hearing the system's notification, Lin Mo blurted out, "Holy crap!"

On the screen, Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng immediately said anxiously: "Chief Designer Lin, did the Aerospace Fighter have some kind of malfunction? Please make sure to ensure your personal safety!"

Beside him, Captain Liu Zhihui was also anxious. Don't let something really go wrong! If a problem occurred, he would truly become a sinner of China! He would have no face to go back alive!

Lin Mo waved his hand and said, "It's not a malfunction!"

"Chief of Staff, according to the Aerospace Fighter's radar display, the satellite I just destroyed was a military spy satellite placed by Eagle Country in our China airspace!"

Recalling the more than one hundred red dots scanned by the radar earlier, Lin Mo continued seriously: "There are actually as many as a hundred such military spy satellites in our China airspace!"

Chief of Staff Zhou Wuzheng blurted out: "What?!"

He associated this with the intelligence information from the Supreme Military Region not long ago; sure enough, those Starlink satellites launched by Eagle Country were no damn communication satellites; they were all military spy satellites!

This was an incredible matter! He had to report it to the higher-ups immediately!

Meanwhile, inside the Aerospace Fighter, Lin Mo's face, hidden inside the armor helmet, was already beaming with excitement.

One Eagle Country spy satellite was worth 10,000 prestige points! Wasn't this just a free gift?
