    “Mr. Tang, how are you? Is the fighter damaged?”


    At that moment, the groundmand center had just noticed this situation and also calcted the orbit of the debris after the explosion.


    Tang Rui was right on that orbit.


    So they contacted Tang Rui immediately to confirm his safety.


    If the fighter was damaged, it wasn’t without a solution.


    They could have Tang Rui fly to the space station, then return to Earth in a re-entry capsule.


    If that wasn’t feasible, then let Tang Rui sit on the satellite, change its orbit, and send him to the space station.


    The moment they realized this situation, the staff below thought of several space rescue methods.


    Unfortunately, all that thought was in vain.


    There was no need for them.


    “I’m fine, the fighter has no damage. But I think the Americans deliberately did this, they owe me an exnation,” Tang Rui pretended to be angry and said through themunicator.


    “Mr. Tang, don’t worry, I will contact NASA right away. If they don’t have a clear exnation, this matter won’t end here.”


    “Okay, then I’ll continue deploying satellites.”


    “Right,e back as soon as you’re done.”


    “I know.”


    After ending the call, Tang Rui flew to the location where the American satellite was and deployed theser-armed satellite.


    Hmm.


    Nice.


    In case of emergency on the ground needing precise firepower, this would turn out to be a useful location.


    After hanging the satellite in orbit, Tang Rui returned to the ground.


    At NASA’s satellite monitoring center, a group of people were sweating profusely, typing on keyboards.


    The person in charge was speaking with the Chinese spacemand center.


    “Please let me exin, we assure you there was no self-destruct satellite. That satellite wasunchedst year, a new model to rece the original GPS navigation satellite, it can’t self-destruct.”


    “No, no, the orbit change was requested by the military, we didn’t know, but we assure you, that satellite was not a self-destruct satellite.”


    “Yes, we proposed using self-destruct satellites to intercept ballistic missiles, but those are low-orbit satellites, and this one was in high orbit.”


    “I swear to God, it wasn’t us, it was just a regr navigation satellite.”


    The person in charge revealed all their secrets.


    He really couldn’t exin it.


    A good navigation satellite, why did it explode?


    It had blown up and almost destroyed someone else’s spacefighter.


    If this wasn’t exined well, the consequences would be dire.


    He didn’t know the final oue, but he was sure to be the one to take the me.


    After hanging up, the person in charge was mentally and physically exhausted.


    But he couldn’t rest, he still needed to find out the reason for the satellite’s explosion, otherwise, he would still be med.


    On the other side.


    The Chinese spacemand center.


    After ending the call with NASA, he also believed this incident wasn’t done intentionally by the Americans.


    He was too angry before to think clearly.


    Now that he calmed down, he found something amiss.


    Why it wasn’t done intentionally by the Americans?


    It was mainly because that satellite had indeed been onlyunchedst year.


    When the satellite wasunched, Tang Rui was still at Nanligong University for his graduation defense.


    Even if the Americans were that capable, they couldn’t have ced a self-destruct satellite in high orbit a year in advance.


    That would be insane.


    “Has Mr. Tang returned?”


    “He has returned after deploying the satellite.”


    “Good, that was the third satellite tonight, right? What kind of satellites are these?”


    “I don’t know, Mr. Tang didn’t specify, but he said these were three different models of experimental satellites.


    “I know the one that’s just deployed, that’s theser-armed satellite designed by Tang Rui.”


    The duty officer nodded after hearing this and looked at the big screen.


    Hmm?


    The more he looked, the more it seemed off.


    The location of this armed satellite, wasn’t it the same as where the American satellite exploded?


    Seeing this, the duty officer suddenly had an epiphany.


    Geosynchronous orbit, one spot for each satellite.


    Once someone upied it, you couldn’t.


    Now, just as their satellite exploded, his satellite appeared there.


    To say it’s a coincidence was a bit of a stretch.


    Now he was eighty percent sure that this so-called explosion was orchestrated by Tang Rui.


    As for how he did it, he wasn’t sure.


    But it definitely had something to do with him.


    He shook his head helplessly.


    There was nothing he could do even if he knew, and even if he knew, he couldn’t say it.


    He would even have to match all the stories, throwing the me on the Americans.


    These young people nowadays…


    Couldn’t afford to provoke them.


    On Tang Rui’s side, after returning to thepany, he had Red Lotus edit the video shot by the White Emperor fighter.


    Extracted the video of the opponent’s satellite exploding and the debris hitting the White Emperor, and edited it.


    Then, he uploaded the video and tagged the American embassy.


    “Your satellite exploded and then the debris scraped off the paint from my ne, what do you think should be done about this?


    “Let’s not talk about whether you did it on purpose, but you have topensate for damaging someone else’s stuff, right?”


    He also wrote a paragraph of text below the video.


    After sending the message, Tang Rui didn’t care anymore and went straight home to sleep.


    The situation online wasn’t urgent, so he’d let the bullets fly for a while.


    With Tang Rui’s video and this message, the inte exploded again.


    There was already a big news tonight, Crimson’s security had taken on a national security task.


    And not much time had passed before Tang Rui sent another message with a video.


    The content of the video was explosive.


    The content of the message even more so.


    For a while, the message topped the trending search list.


    The American side, after seeing this message, were also baffled.


    Their satellite exploded?


    When did this happen?


    No.


    The debris didn’t prate the opponent’s body, just scratched the paint.


    What kind of crappy satellite was this?


    A message was sent back to China.


    The American response was quick, after all, it was daytime there.


    They immediately inquired with the military about the specifics of this incident.


    You blew it up.


    But could they submit an operation report and assessment report before exploding it, now we’re put in a passive position.


    The military was also baffled.


    What exploded?


    Satellite?


    Which satellite exploded?


    After checking, they found out it was the satellite they needed that exploded.


    Damn.


    How did it explode, who did it?


    Didn’t they know how important that satellite was?


    They relied on its for their operation in Sudan.


    This time, they had used many new equipment and weapons, with involvement from the military-industrialplex.


    The power of these weapons aside, the degree of informatization was very high.


    The precision requirement for the navigation and positioning system was also very high.


    Today they just had NASA change the satellite’s orbit to hover above Sudan to support the following operations.


    Now, they were told that their satellite had exploded.


    A call was made, inquiring with NASA about the specifics.


    “It wasn’t a fuel explosion, that satellite didn’t use chemical fuel.”


    “Don’t know, we’re still checking the records, if it was attacked, some data would be sent back by the sensors.”


    “Absolutely not a mistake on our part, even if it was, we couldn’t have made a navigation satellite explode.”


    “It’s not a system or operation issue, we’re still investigating the specifics.”


    The person in charge of the satellite monitoring center, exhausted, put down the phone. This was his seventh call.


    Each person was someone he couldn’t afford to offend.


    He had to exin to these people.


    Honestly, even now, he was baffled. He didn’t know how a navigation satellite could explode, not to mention the magnitude of the explosion.


    “Boss, we’ve found the list of internal equipment andponent suppliers for this satellite.”


    “Give it to me.” After receiving the supplier list, the person in charge began looking for a scapegoat.


    Someone had to be responsible for this.


    If he didn’t want to take responsibility, he could only find a scapegoat to take the me.


    Quickly, his eyes lit up when he saw the name of apany.


    “Send word out, say it was Samsung’s battery that malfunctioned, causing the satellite to explode.”


    “Okay, boss, I’ll do it right away..”
