Chapter 727 Devon Hill Edition Twenty Minutes Global Strike
Putting on the new Type IV armor specially prepared for space navigation, William held the anti-pressure helmet and was about to board the spacecraft.
I heard Lina shout worriedly, "William, can't we let other professional test pilots come on?"
Not hearing what William said about safety being absolutely no problem, Lina interrupted with an uneasy look on her face,
"Things like technical confidentiality are nonsense to me. Money and other things are not a problem for our family. Let's change people."
Hearing this, the English officials and military personnel waiting beside the spacecraft were overjoyed.
On the one hand, they really don’t want anything to happen to William, who can design and build spaceships. After all, William is an Englishman and is a hereditary noble.
Even if the English people usually dislike nobles, their attitude towards William is different from those nobles who have gained glory and wealth by inheriting titles.
Relying on one's own efforts to obtain a title and become a super rich man is easier for others to accept and admire.
In addition, in recent days, there have been reports from TV and newspapers from time to time that if the Mars spacecraft flies to Mars, as William said before, it will only take a few dozen days.
Then England will 100% be the first to enter the interstellar age. With William's genius brain, he will continue to invent and transform.
England will immigrate to Mars, and it will become easy to obtain precious extraterrestrial resources for free or at low prices.
This kind of thing is beneficial to the country and the people, and no Englishman wants William, as the inventor, to have any problems.
On the other hand, they probably also understood that only Lina, as William's mother, could persuade him.
Once William succeeds in his own test flight, they will have no chance of getting into space unless William gets tired of playing.
Looking at Lina who was grabbing his arm with a worried look on her face, and Abi and the other women who were equally worried, William shook his head helplessly,
He handed the helmet on his hand to Serena, who had been leading the team as a guard at the space center, and took her mother's hand to leave the spacecraft.
Just when everyone thought this was agreeing to Lina's request, they saw William covering his ears and saying to Sunday,
"I'll leave the test flight to you."
"Understood, sir".
"Beep, beep, beep", several long beeps came, and the spacecraft looked at the shocked eyes of the British officials and military personnel.
After closing the hatch, the low-power engine started automatically. Amidst the exclamations of the guards who retreated in panic,
Slowly turn the nose of the aircraft and taxi towards the runway.
"Wait, wait, Mr. Devonshire." An old man wearing a military uniform with four stars on his shoulder walked quickly to William.
He was about to speak in a commanding tone, but seeing William's young and shameless face, the old man felt for no reason that he had better be polite.
I couldn't help but think that as long as nothing unexpected happened, it would probably happen in the next few decades or even hundreds of years.
The Devonshire family would become the most prestigious and influential family in England.
If this moment of pleasure offends the little guy in front of him, will his descendants be retaliated against?
Judging from the fact that during this period of time, the number of undercover agents who were dealt with by Kingsman's people has reached dozens, it can be seen that the Devonshire family is not a good person with a broad mind.
What's more, there is really no need for him to offend William, who has a better future and is a big boss himself, because of other people's interests.
"William, since the spacecraft can be unmanned, can you let my people on the spacecraft?"
Seeing William frowning, the four-star general patiently explained, "If the first test flight is unmanned, after the outside world finds out, I don't know what the reporters will say nonsense.
If you are worried, my people only need to wear spacesuits, stay in the cabin, and after the spacecraft lands, they can walk out of the spacecraft in front of the camera."
Isn't this just a show?
William smiled and let go of his mother's hand, walked aside with the four-star general, and murmured in a low voice,
"Are you worried that the outside world will slander us and say that our relationship is tense?"
"Yes, God, talking to smart people is easy. Since the spacecraft can be controlled intelligently, you don't have to worry about leaking secrets.
Besides, since we fully support you, you have to let some people see hope, which is good for everyone."
"Do you need me to sponsor the space suit?"
After William finished speaking, the four-star general was delighted to see the spacecraft slowly stop on the runway and the hatch opened automatically.
"No, some data you gave us show that as long as the spacecraft does not break down, it doesn't matter whether you wear a space suit or not."
"Then I won't disturb you anymore." William smiled and shook hands with the general. "Since it's just a show, I suggest you send two astronauts and a team of twelve soldiers up.
We need to let people know that if you want to fly to the United States in the future, you only need to fly into space, then descend to New York in half an hour.
This should make many, many people in England feel excited and proud, and also make others wary."
"Are you sure half an hour?"
"Of course, if we don't have to reduce the speed when ascending into space and landing to avoid air friction and loss of the service life of the spacecraft,
With a speed of 100,000 kilometers per hour and the Blue Star's rotation, it doesn't take ten minutes to reach New York."
"That's it, that's it." When he heard that he could reach New York in ten minutes, the four-star general stuttered excitedly, "Doesn't that mean that from now on, our global strikes and personnel dispatch will only take twenty minutes?"
"That's right, General." William smiled and patted the General on the arm. "As for how to avoid protests from the United States, I think you must be very experienced, right?"
"Of course, as long as we don't land, we have plenty of reasons and arguments to shut up the Americans."
"Okay, I look forward to your performance." William smiled and wondered whether this was a Devonshire-style global attack on England.
From now on, he finally has a direct attack method that everyone can experience personally.
The two shook hands again, and William took his mother and others to the viewing platform to deal with the English officials and Wilson who came over.
Ten minutes later, two military astronauts deliberately put on spacesuits and boarded the spacecraft first. Then, under everyone's surprised eyes,
Twelve fully armed elite members of the English Airborne Regiment lined up in two rows and entered the spacecraft.
Upon seeing this, William asked Sunday, "Is there anything in the cabin of the spacecraft that needs to be kept secret?"
"Except for the emergency single-person landing module, there is nothing in the cargo compartment that needs to be kept secret."
You can't tell anything about the landing capsule just by looking at its appearance. William said, "Then turn on the live broadcast and avoid the places that need to be kept secret.
You can handle the photography and editing, and you must make the people of England happy."
"Understood, sir".
After a few minutes, the media could only take pictures of soldiers and active weapons and equipment outside the aviation center.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a message coming from my earphones. At William's request, the aviation center
A live broadcast of some areas inside the spacecraft was opened to the media and people across England to enhance the confidence and pride of all British people.
Waiting for all the people in England who followed the live broadcast to actually see the inside of the spacecraft,
There was also a soldier under the command of Sunday. After a limited introduction to the spacecraft, the whole of England fell into an atmosphere of celebration.
