Chapter 18 Global War Warning, Establishment of a Technology Group

The simultaneous missile launches by both China and the United States are a major event that cannot be suppressed.

Many small countries' first reaction was that it was all over, that nuclear war had begun.

But then he felt relieved when he realized that all the missiles were chasing an unknown rocket.

"Thank goodness, it's not World War III."

However, these smaller countries soon realized what was different about this rocket, that it would prompt two major powers to launch missiles simultaneously in an attempt to destroy each other.

Then some slightly stronger small countries were immediately displeased after seeing the unknown type of aircraft appear next to the rocket.

They knew about the Lizardmen, but the Lizardmen had previously been ground troops, and their main targets were the five major powers, so these smaller countries were just watching from the sidelines.

But now that even air forces have been deployed, they know that the war has escalated.

After the rocket entered space, both China and the United States could only watch helplessly as it moved away from Earth, and ultimately had no choice but to give up.

However, the five major powers understood that the real war was already on its countdown.

At this moment, in a virtual conference room, the five major powers and several regional powers gathered together, closed the door, and began a meeting.

The first to speak was the US.

"Everyone, you've probably all heard about the lizardmen, and some of you have even fought them head-on, so I'll get straight to the point."

After a pause, as the person in charge of the US military operated the system, the information on the lizardmen also appeared on the projection screen of the round table.

"According to our research, these lizardmen landed on Earth along with the previous meteorite. It is now certain that the technology of these lizardmen civilization is no less advanced than ours, and may even be more advanced, because they possess the ability to travel between stars."

"In addition, it is certain that the other side has established a base on the seabed of the Pacific Ocean, but with our current technology, we are unable to pinpoint the location of their base."

Today's rocket launch, while bad news, is also good news in a way.

After a pause, the American official continued.

"Although the enemy's rocket launch was successful, we have also pinpointed the approximate area where their base is located, which has shortened the search area."

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked rather grim.

That makes sense, but searching for a base located on the seabed in such a vast ocean area is not an easy task.

"Rabbit, what did you say over there?"

"Based on current intelligence, the rocket launched by the other side should be carrying a communication device, most likely for communication with their home planet or main force. Therefore, I believe it is time to prepare for war."

Hearing what the rabbit said, the others present hesitated.

"Isn't this being too sensitive?"

"We have an old saying: 'Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.' Our country will soon maintain a normal state of combat readiness. This is a notification, not a discussion."

Hearing the rabbit's domineering declaration, the other small animals present also trembled in their hearts.

The US stepped in to smooth things over and ease the tension, but then said something that made other countries outside the five major powers tense up again.

"Alright, alright, we've made the same decision as the rabbit: the entire army is entering a state of normal combat readiness to deal with the crisis."

"What?"

Ignoring the reactions of the crowd, following the United States and the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and the United Kingdom all made statements that their entire armies would enter a state of normal combat readiness.

The meeting quickly went viral online after it ended.

After all, the five major powers included some regional powers in this meeting in order to increase their resistance.

There's a lot of discussion about it online at Dongda University.

The most direct impact is that many basic supplies have begun to be controlled, with restrictions on the amount individuals can purchase, a crackdown on hoarders, and efforts to stabilize the domestic supply of goods.

However, things weren't so peaceful in the United States.

Following the release of the relevant notice, a beautiful scene reappeared, with various zero-yuan purchases starting to surge.

What's most surprising is that the US has begun to withdraw troops from multiple overseas bases and consolidate its forces.

This series of actions gave everyone a sense that a storm was brewing.

Fang Heng also received the relevant information and immediately contacted Ethan.

"Ethan, do you know what happened on Earth?"

"Commander, I was just about to contact you. The rockets launched by those lizardmen are equipped with deep-space communicators, which are specifically designed for long-distance communication."

After detection and calculation, it can be determined that the location of Blue Star has been sent. According to calculations, Blue Star has one year left, at the earliest one year, and at the latest three years, the enemy's main force will arrive.

"So fast?"

"Yes, Commander. The other side's communication method is faster than light-speed communication. The enemy will receive the message soon."

"Hiss, can we find out the enemy's technological level?"

"Commander, don't worry. Based on our research on deep space probes, we can confirm that while the enemy is more advanced than Earth in materials metallurgy, energy, and artificial intelligence, they are not as advanced as us."

The opponent's only strength lies in its faster-than-light communication technology, but Earth now possesses quantum communication, which, if further developed, will be far more advanced than faster-than-light communication.

"That's good. By the way, can you tell us the destination of the other party's signal?"

"Yes, Commander. I had already hacked into their system and downloaded their star map. After comparison, I can confirm that their signal receiving point is in the Sirius system."

"This place seems to be less than 9 light-years from the solar system, right?"

"Yes, Commander. In our time, we discovered three planets in the Sirius system, but we did not observe any life forms. However, the birth of life involves many coincidences, and it is very possible that a civilization arose in the Sirius system."

"Perhaps. For such a long distance, communication only takes a year. That technology is indeed impressive."

Fang Heng was also somewhat moved at this moment. Every civilization has its own area of ​​expertise, just like the lizardman civilization in front of him.

"How much can the disciplinary account be repaired in a year?"

"Commander, please rest assured that we can at least guarantee basic combat strength, and the later the time goes on, the stronger our production capacity will become. These are all exponential increases."

"In addition, Commander, this time does not include the technological bonuses you will gain after traveling to other timelines. If all goes well, a year will be enough for us to repair the Punisher, and we may even have an extra warship."

"Hopefully. By the way, is the only way to travel to other dimensions via teleportation devices? Isn't there any way to establish a stable spacetime tunnel for transporting supplies or something?"

"Commander, the relevant technology actually exists within the teleportation device, but we currently lack the necessary researchers, and the knowledge reserves on Earth are insufficient to handle this task, so this research has not been conducted until now."

"I see. It seems I'll have to find a way to collect information on this later."

After this period of construction, Fang Heng also discovered the drawbacks of clones.

After all, they are not natural human beings, and in terms of creative thinking, they cannot compare with true geniuses. Perhaps it is due to the genetic sample, but current biotechnology cannot completely solve this problem.

Fortunately, after the first version of the enhancer was introduced, the latest clones were genetically closer to natural humans.

However, based on current performance, these enhanced clones are mainly used for combat defense.

"Ada, how's the matter I asked you to arrange going?"

"Master, everything is done. Here are our company information and related documents."

"Great, how's the production line preparation going?"

"All manufacturing is complete, and installation will be finished in a week, allowing for the first production run."

"Yes, in this world, you still need to have a respectable status and position."

While letting Ada continue with the remaining tasks, Fang Heng was also considering the next steps.

Starting a company was a decision Fang Heng made after thinking about it for a long time.

First, let's look at the current situation on Earth.

Due to global vigilance, military forces patrol many areas, and the presence of the reptilians makes mining resources in the ocean dangerous, as individuals would face many unnecessary troubles.

Although he is now referred to as a warlord by many locals, this identity is not desirable and is not as useful as that of a multinational corporation.

His current goal is to develop his company into a powerful enterprise like Atlas.

The international stage awaits; if you are strong, come join us.

As the joke goes online, when you have an aircraft carrier, you're a troublemaker.

When you have three aircraft carriers, you are a major threat to regional security.

When you have six aircraft carriers, you are an important force in maintaining world peace.

When you have ten aircraft carriers, you become the beacon of light for all humanity.

Therefore, at any time, strength is the standard by which everything is measured, and truth only exists within the range of cannons.

Having understood this, Fang Heng modified his original plan. The plan to develop in a low-key manner remained unchanged, but the secondary goal was to find a way to control a small country and acquire real human resources.

A week later, with the official listing of Xingchen Technology Group, a new type of functional beverage also appeared on the market.

This is Fang Heng's application of biotechnology. Compared to other functional drinks on the market, this energy drink is a direct blow.

It can not only nourish the body, but also repair some mild chronic diseases if consumed for a long time.

In addition, it can also play a certain role in nourishing yin and tonifying the kidneys, and it has received a lot of praise since it was launched on the market.

Seeing the success of the first product, Fang Heng was very satisfied. However, this was only the first step, and Fang Heng did not immediately start the next step of the plan. Ethan sent new news that the teleportation device had captured the new world, so Fang Heng planned to proceed with the next step after returning from the new world.
