Chapter 721 Pierce takes the bait, and he will kill you if he leaks the secret
A spaceship that is more sci-fi than the current American spaceship appears in the virtual image.
After introducing the appearance parameters of the spacecraft, Sunday continued,
"The Devon Hill 1 spacecraft's design speed is expected to reach 100,000 kilometers per hour when it enters space.
The first voyage will fly directly to the moon, and the estimated arrival time is about 4 hours."
"God, how is this possible? It takes four hours to reach the moon. Hell, it takes less time than it takes me to go back to my parents' house."
"Shut up, Hunter", blaming him for making noise. His companion immediately covered his mouth and continued to listen.
"If the first voyage is successful, the goal of the second voyage will be directly on Mars. Mr. Devonshire hopes that he will be the first Blue Star man to land on Mars.
If all goes well, in 2002, the distance from Blue Star to Mars will be approximately 70,000 kilometers, and the new spacecraft will sail to Mars in less than 30 days.
And if we put the time in 2003, the distance from Blue Star to Mars would be about 56 million kilometers.
The flight time of the spacecraft will be shortened to less than 24 days."
After listening to Sunday's explanation, the reporters at the press conference and the host in the live broadcast room were stunned.
Fortunately, the guests in the live broadcast room reacted quickly and immediately muttered, "Sorry, I just want to curse now, William Devonshire, are you really crazy?
Or Blue Star has nothing to attract you, so it designed a spaceship that would put all the scientists in the world to shame.
Do you plan to go to the moon first and then plant a flag on Mars?
So if you grow some food on Mars, strictly speaking, does that mean that the entire Mars becomes your colony?"
As soon as the guest said this, many people who knew the law of the sea immediately started muttering, as if this was really possible.
Thinking about it this way, some people even felt that this topic must be discussed in the United Nations to prevent Mars from being colonized by William.
At the end of the press conference, William held Abi's hand with a smile and got into a car with an Aston Martin logo.
The car looks like a later Rolls-Royce Phantom. "Sorry gentlemen, I have to go home for lunch. I hope my uninformed mother will not go crazy. Goodbye."
Seeing that William was minding his own business again and ran away, many reporters cursed.
"You damn bastards, at least tell us what this damn, ridiculously beautiful car is called."
"Aston Martin-Phantom".
The general manager of Aston Martin walked onto the stage holding the microphone and introduced to the reporters with a smile,
"The new Phantom is a super-luxury vehicle that combines bulletproof, comfortable, silent, and high-tech experience specially created by Mr. William Devonshire for himself and high-end business people."
"Super luxurious?" a reporter immediately asked, "You mean the price is super expensive?"
"Of course, this car was built by Mr. Devonshire for himself, and of course it uses the best of everything."
Sean nodded with a smile and said without any concealment, "The bulletproof version is priced at 1.2 million pounds, the normal version is 500,000 pounds, and the convertible version is priced at 600,000 pounds."
"Damn it, I shouldn't have such extravagant expectations." The reporter who originally wanted to buy one immediately shook his head helplessly after hearing the price.
"This is a rich man's toy through and through, and why the hell didn't William Devon Hill release the news about the car earlier?"
This word reached the ears of other reporters. While they were excited and delighted, they also cursed William.
If the phantom car had been revealed a few days earlier, they would have been able to write big news for a few more days.
Now this super topical car will definitely be overshadowed by the other two things announced by William first.
Not to mention how excited and complaining the reporters were, and how William went home to explain to his mother.
The director of Snake Shield, Alexander Pierce, who was watching the live broadcast, had no choice but to use the remote control to turn off the TV.
Holding a glass of whiskey, I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the Shedun Bureau office, silently looking at the scenery in the distance.
I kept thinking in my mind, could it be that William had discovered something on the moon or Mars? Could it be traces of those aliens?
Otherwise, why would he announce to the public that he wants to go to the moon and Mars in person?
As long as you are not a lunatic, normally you need to have at least a companion when traveling in space.
Flying a spaceship is not like flying a propeller plane. You can do it with just one skill.
There must be something here that William must keep secret.
After much thought, Pierce couldn't help but call William in the face of aliens and the desire for eternal life.
"Hello, who's there?"
The call was quickly connected, and Pierce slowed down his speech to make his tone more kind.
"Mr. Devonshire, I am Alexander Pierce, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., you,,"
Before Pierce could finish, William interrupted directly, "Wait, are you trying to trick me?"
"How do you start talking about this?" Pierce asked in surprise, "I'm sorry, Mr. Devonshire, do you have any misunderstanding about me?"
"No, no, I have no misunderstanding with you. SHIELD is not so much called SHIELD as Snake Shield. I'm right, Director Pierce."
"This", someone directly revealed his trump card. Although the expression on Pierce's face was extremely ugly, his tone of voice was still as kind as ever, "Although I don't know where you got the information from,
But since I can always sit in the position of director of S.H.I.E.L.D., it means that you or the forces behind you have no intention of becoming our enemy, right, Lord Devonshire?"
"Of course, I don't care what you Hydras hiding in the United States want to do.
As long as I don't want to destroy the world, what else does it have to do with me?
Even if you are in power, I can probably still maintain my glory and wealth, right?"
"Of course, Mr. Devonshire, we are also capital, and of course we understand the principle of protecting the market and supporters."
The two chatted for about ten minutes until William returned to the manor on Kensington Garden Street and saw his mother's car parked outside the main building.
He said directly to Pierce, "Sorry, Mr. Pierce, if you have nothing else to do, I have to hang up the phone and deal with my mother."
"Okay, then I'll tell you directly." Pierce thought for a few seconds and said, "Can you tell me why you want to go to the moon and Mars in person?
Maybe after you speak up, we can cooperate and solve some cumbersome declaration procedures for you."
"Hey, I'll send you a photo so you can understand. But after that, I need you to help me with everything related to the launch of the spacecraft.
Finally, I would like to remind you that if a third or fourth person other than you knows about the photo, I will kill you, do you agree?"
"Alien?"
Pierce thought about it for a few seconds and immediately determined that William must have used some means to discover the traces of the alien.
Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out how a ruthless person like William could tell him the secret except for the aliens he already knew.
He even said that he leaked the secret, so he would be killed directly.
After hanging up the phone, Pierce pressed the repeat key, intending to listen to the recording of the call, but unfortunately there was only a squeaking and hoarse sound.
