A few days had passed since Celestial Trade's military operation to eliminate the nest. The Capitol and the Pentagon also held more than a dozen meetings around Celestial Trade.
"… I don't care what method you use. Within three days, I want to see DARPA launch a project for the power armor and separate it from the kinetic skeleton project. Don't worry about the budget. I will talk to the Congress. According to the opinion of the Minister of Defense, this power armor is tentatively positioned as the firepower fulcrum of the infantry squad. In addition to carrying at least 50 kilograms of ammunition and nuclear, biological and chemical defense functions, it must also have absolute protection against ammunition less than 12.7mm caliber … "
At this moment, in a small conference room in the Capitol, Hill and the DARPA Director had a private meeting.
DARPA was the abbreviation of the UA Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, known as the real-life version of S.H.I.E.L.D. DARPA could be seen in many defense and aerospace projects, including the Faraday spray to counter EMP weapons, which was a product jointly designed by DARPA and Lockheed Martin.
Celestial Trade was already ahead of the UA in defense technology, and Hill had to place her hopes on DARPA.
The DARPA Director carefully wrote down Hill's request, spun the pen twice, and tapped the notebook with the tip of his nose.
"We will proceed with the project as soon as possible. Lockheed Martin has made good progress in the research of kinetic skeletons, and we have ready-made technical resources to use. In addition, I suggest negotiating with the Frankberg side to see if we can get information on the improved 'Lightning' exoskeleton from the Krupp Group. They obviously already have the prototype of power armor, but the design is still slightly lacking. "
"I will let Kerry talk about this," Hill said.
After exchanging some opinions with the President's wife, the DARPA Director closed the notebook and left.
There were still a few meetings waiting for him. He must prepare the plan in two days and try to make it in time for the Congressional Budget Committee hearing on the third day. This kind of research and development project involving hundreds of millions of dollars couldn't be decided by him alone.
When he was about to open the door, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the Capitol's assistant walked in with a document.
"Mrs. President."
Hill looked at her assistant and asked sternly.
"What's the matter?"
"The President of Xin sent us an invitation." The assistant walked to Hill's side and placed the document on the table. "They said they invited us to attend the Outer Space Security Summit on June 15th."
"Outer Space Security Summit?" Hill sneered, and the wrinkles at the corner of her eyes wrinkled.
Does Celestial Trade have the nerve to hold an Outer Space Security Summit? Who was the one who used space resources to develop weapons?
"Write a euphemistic rejection letter for me. Just say that the UA regrets Celestial Trade's violation of the Outer Space Treaty. Before Celestial Trade and Xin provide an explanation, the UA will not launch high-level bilateral talks with Xin."
"Yes." The assistant nodded and left.
Hill leaned back in her chair and rubbed her tired eyes.
There was another meeting in ten minutes. Just as she was about to take a nap, she suddenly noticed the invitation from the corner of her eye.
She hesitated for a moment. Following the principle of diplomatic etiquette, she took out the invitation letter from the file bag.
After glancing at the two lines of words, Hill, who caught a keyword, was stunned.
"Extraterrestrial civilization?"
Following the text on the invitation letter, Hill's expression continued to change.
When she read the last line, she threw the invitation letter on the table, immediately got up, and quickly chased out the door.
…
In the early morning of June 1st, a Gulfstream passenger plane landed at Coro City Airport.
Surrounded by a group of bodyguards, Jiang Chen yawned through the special passage and came to his Luer car. After the bodyguard opened the door, he sat in the passenger seat. Ayesha, who was in the driver's seat, skillfully started the car. After reaching the initial speed, she pressed the button to start the magnetic levitation device, and the car flew steadily.
Now the main traffic arteries in the center of Coro City had completed the magnetic levitation modification, and almost half of the private cars floated in the air. The endless flow of traffic and the neon lights on both sides of the street complemented each other. Against the backdrop of high-rise buildings and thousands of lights, the whole city was like a bright pearl, dreamy and beautiful.
It was hard to imagine what it was like four years ago.
In the car, Jiang Chen unexpectedly received a call from Warner Bros.
Nolan, who had worked with him before, took the initiative to contact him and said that Warner Bros. was very interested in bringing the battle between humans and mutants to a "bigger" screen. He asked Nolan to inquire about Jiang Chen's intentions and see if Celestial Trade could provide some assistance in filming.
Considering the positive publicity for Celestial Trade, Jiang Chen readily accepted Warner Bros. 'proposal and said that as long as Celestial Trade played a positive role in the film, Celestial Trade could provide free assistance in filming.
After he hung up the phone, Jiang Chen put away the holographic screen and stretched. After taking two flights in a row, he still hadn't completely recovered from jet lag, and now he was dizzy.
Ayesha looked at Jiang Chen with distress and whispered with concern.
"How are things in Finland?"
"It's okay, just a bit busy with work."
"Did you see Natasha?"
"I saw her once before I got on the plane. She invited me to dinner." Jiang Chen turned his head and smiled at Ayesha, who was focused on driving. He put his hand down from the top of her head and hugged her slender and beautiful waist. "Don't always ask me. What about you? Did you miss me while I was away? "
With her cheeks blushing, Ayesha whispered.
"I miss you every day."
Feeling the mischievous behavior of the big hand, Ayesha twisted her body, but she didn't resist.
Jiang Chen wasn't worried about whether there would be a traffic accident. Magnetic levitation driving was more than ten times safer than driving on the road. The track at a specific height was limited by the smart program to maintain a specific speed. After entering the highest cruising track, the driver could completely leave the steering wheel and leave the driving to the smart program.
At first, Jiang Chen only hugged her waist, but soon he began to push his luck.
However, the little sheep was too docile, so the big hand kept moving up …
Biting her lower lip, Ayesha could no longer suppress the feelings in her heart. With a flushed face, she drove the car onto the cruising track and completely left the driving to the smart driving system. Her hands completely left the steering wheel, and she nimbly flipped over and sat on Jiang Chen's lap.
With her arms around Jiang Chen's neck, Ayesha blinked her big clear eyes, and her sapphire-like eyes stared straight at him. Being stared at like this, Jiang Chen, who had been mischievous before, was a bit embarrassed.
"Uh, drive properly —"
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Chen's lips were blocked by her hot and delicate lips. The smooth and delicate snake broke through his teeth, and a pair of cold and gentle hands slid down his strong arms …
Through the ink-colored glass, a colorful street scene flashed past the two of them.
Under these circumstances and circumstances, everything was as natural as water flowing into a canal.
Jiang Chen felt that the fatigue he accumulated over the past few days gradually dissipated with the warmth of their skin.
In the dazzling night sky, a Fast and Furious movie was being shown …
