Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 675 - 631: Not Giving an Inch of Face
After hearing his companion's question, Ao Jiu finally snapped out of his shock.
He scanned the faces of everyone present and noticed they were all looking at him.
Ao Jiu awkwardly smiled at everyone, showing a row of remarkably white teeth:
"Haha, my apologies, everyone. I couldn't complete the task.
I didn't expect them to be so stubborn. Even after we offered those two technologies, they still didn't agree.
I really can't understand what they're thinking. Does exposing us and making us lose face matter more to them than actual benefits?
My God, that's nuclear propulsion technology!
With this technology, their naval capabilities would advance significantly, but I didn't expect them to resist such temptation. Haha, a bunch of stiff-necked people."
At this point, the guy beside him spoke up:
"Ao, do you think they rejected our technology because they've developed something more advanced?"
This statement left everyone present stunned.
Not only that, everyone turned their gaze towards Ao Jiu.
Ao Jiu was equally taken aback, and after a moment, he turned his gaze towards Halasho:
"I don't know about this. Have you received any notifications about it?"
Hearing this, Halasho shook his head:
"Regarding this technology, I really haven't heard anything.
What I know is they've achieved significant breakthroughs in aerospace recently, and besides that, they developed an engine that harnesses air to generate kinetic energy. But that type of engine is only used in cars for now; we haven't heard anything beyond that."
Anyone present wasn't a fool; each one had a powerful mind. After hearing Halasho, they all frowned.
Ao Jiu pondered deeply for a while, then continued to ask Halasho:
"What kind of propulsion engine did they use this time for aerospace?
The photo looks different from the ones we used before.
Our flames emitted are yellow, yet theirs are cyan-blue. Does it resemble nuclear propulsion?"
This statement from Ao Jiu woke everyone up from their stupor, and all eyes turned to the large screen in the middle.
The shape of a UFO was still visible there.
However, after Halasho was dumbstruck by the statement, he promptly spoke to his assistant:
"Quick, switch the screen to the scene on their launch day."
The assistant took immediate action, and soon, the large screen displayed a small black dot covered in mosaic.
It's quite tricky; the defense system of the nuclear spacecraft is too strong. Even their best surveillance satellites capture encrypted images, rendering the appearance of the spacecraft unclear.
Fortunately, they managed to capture the flames emitted from the rear of the spacecraft.
Just as Ao Jiu mentioned, the flame was indeed blue.
"Connect our aerospace experts immediately and let them deduce from this photo what fuel and propellant are being used."
In fact, he didn't need to say it; their aerospace department was already working on it.
Because of this, half an hour later, the answers were compiled before them.
Looking at this report, everyone had an incredibly grim expression.
Ao Jiu slammed the table hard:
"There is a 70% certainty that the opposing side used a nuclear propulsion system! How is this possible? How can they harness nuclear power?
Moreover, the kinetic energy from nuclear fission is difficult to control. How did they manage this?
If they mastered this technology, why haven't they used it on their aircraft carriers?
No, we must understand this technology.
If the report is accurate, then we aren't just being caught up on; we're already lagging behind."
This situation was absolutely unacceptable to them.
Not to mention being significantly better, at the very least, they couldn't allow others to surpass them; that's the prevailing attitude in every person's heart.
Because of this, after hearing the statement, everyone's expression grew incredibly grim.
"Activate all our espionage satellites, targeting the moon.
Since they've gone up, they will eventually come down.
Once they depart from the moon and return to Earth, go all out to intercept them.
We must obtain this technology."
This guy was indeed straightforward. Among the many people present, he was the only one daring enough to issue such orders.
Moreover, his current position wasn't within governance.
He was merely a backstage manipulator.
But even so, he could still issue orders, and notably, after issuing them, no one opposed him.
As for Old Whitehead, he was busy yawning with his head down, having no time to deal with these matters.
"Alright, I'll go make arrangements."
Halasho said and then prepared to stand up, but at that moment, Ao Jiu spoke again:
"Inform the FBI to deploy all our agents. Use any means necessary to gather as much intel as possible. Ideally, find out the specific day they return and their landing site!"
Halasho nodded and walked out. Very soon, arrangements were made.
As for whether or not they landed on the moon,
this matter was now beyond their jurisdiction.
They'd exhausted every conceivable strategy, and now all they could do was leave it to fate.
Given the circumstances, they shifted their focus entirely to that spaceship.
If they could acquire the spaceship and understand its propulsion system, then relatively speaking, losing those satellites and international embarrassment wouldn't matter.
Meanwhile, above the surface of the moon, over Jinghai.
The saucer-shaped craft had been flying for an hour.
During this time, it had thoroughly mapped the topography and identified several suspicious locations.
Additionally, a circle was drawn at the map's center,
