A spaceship that was even more sci-fi than the current American spaceship appeared in the virtual image.
After introducing the external parameters of the spaceship, Sunday continued.
"Devonshire's spaceship, designed to enter space at a speed of 100,000 kilometers per hour.
The first voyage will be a direct flight to the Moon. The estimated time of arrival is about four hours. "
"God, how is this possible? Four hours to the Moon? Hell, this is less than the time it takes me to go back to my parents' house."
"Shut up, Hunter," scolded him for making noise. His companion immediately covered his mouth and continued to listen.
"If the first voyage is successful, the target of the second voyage will be directly on Mars. Mr. Devonshire hopes that he will be the first human to land on Mars.
If everything goes well, in 2002, the distance between the Blue Planet and Mars is about 70,000 kilometers. The new spaceship will reach and land on Mars in less than 30 days.
If the time is set in 2003, the distance between the Blue Planet and Mars will be about 56 million kilometers.
The spaceship's travel time will be shortened to less than 24 days. "
After listening to Sunday's explanation, the reporters and the host of the live broadcast room were stunned.
Fortunately, the guests in the live broadcast room reacted quickly and immediately muttered, "Sorry, I just want to curse now. William Devonshire, are you crazy?
Or is there nothing on the Blue Planet that can attract you, so you designed a spaceship that can shame all the scientists in the world?
Do you plan to go to the Moon first and then go to Mars to plant the flag?
If you plant some food on Mars, strictly speaking, does that mean that the entire Mars will be your colony? "
As soon as the guest said this, many people who knew the law of the sea immediately muttered. It seemed that this was really possible.
With this thought in mind, some people even felt that this topic must be discussed in the United Nations, lest Mars really be colonized by William.
At the end of the press conference, William smiled and held Abby's hand as they got into the Aston Martin.
The appearance was indeed a Rolls-Royce Phantom. "Sorry, gentlemen, I have to go home for lunch. I hope my mother won't go berserk. Bye bye."
Seeing William run away after saying what he wanted to say, many reporters started scolding him.
"Damned bastard, at least tell us the name of this damned, ridiculously beautiful car."
"Aston Martin Phantom."
The general manager of Aston Martin walked onto the stage with a microphone in his hand and introduced the company to the reporters with a smile.
"The new Phantom is a super luxurious transportation vehicle that Mr. William Devonshire specially built for himself and high-end businessmen. It's bulletproof, comfortable, silent, and high-tech."
"Super luxurious?" A reporter immediately asked, "You mean the price is super expensive?"
"Of course, this car was built by Mr. Devonshire himself. Of course, everything is the best."
Sean nodded with a smile. "The bulletproof version costs 1.2 million pounds, the normal version costs 500,000 pounds, and the convertible version costs 600,000 pounds."
"Damn it, I shouldn't have had such extravagant hopes." The reporter who originally wanted to buy one immediately shook his head helplessly after hearing the price.
"This is a complete rich man's toy. And damn William, why didn't Devonshire announce the news of the car earlier?"
When these words reached the ears of the other reporters, they were excited and happy, but at the same time, they also cursed William.
If the Phantom had been exposed a few days earlier, then they would have been able to write big news for a few more days.
Now, this super hot car would definitely be covered by the other two things that William announced first.
Not to mention how excited and complaining the reporters were, there was also how William would go home and explain it to his mother.
The Director of Snake SHIELD, Alexander Pierce, who was watching the live broadcast, helplessly turned off the TV with the remote control.
Holding a glass of whiskey, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office of Snake SHIELD, silently looking at the distant scenery.
He kept thinking in his heart, could it be that William had found something on the moon or Mars? Could it be the traces of those aliens?
Otherwise, why would he announce to the public that he was going to the moon and Mars personally?
As long as he wasn't crazy, normally, he would have at least one companion during a space voyage.
Flying a spaceship is not like flying a propeller plane, one person can do it.
There must be something in this that William must keep secret.
Thinking about it, in the face of aliens and the desire for immortality, Pierce couldn't help but call William.
"Hello, who is this?"
The phone was quickly connected, and Pierce slowed down to make his tone more amiable.
"Mr. Devonshire, I'm Alexander Pierce, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. You …"
Without letting Pierce finish, William interrupted him directly. "Wait, are you trying to fool me?"
"What do you mean?" Pierce asked in surprise. "Sorry, Mr. Devonshire, do you have any misunderstanding about me?"
"No, no, I have no misunderstanding with you. SHIELD is not so much called SHIELD, it's better to call it Snake SHIELD. Am I right, Director Pierce?"
"This." Pierce's expression was extremely ugly, but his tone was still as amiable as ever. "Although I don't know where you got the information from.
But since I have been sitting in the position of Director of SHIELD, it means that you or the forces behind you have no intention of being enemies with us, right, Mr. Devonshire? "
"Of course, I don't care what you Hydra hiding in the United States want to do.
As long as you don't want to destroy the world, the rest has nothing to do with me.
Even if you are in power, I can probably maintain my wealth, right? "
"Of course, Mr. Devonshire, we are also capitalists. Of course, we understand the principle of protecting the market and supporters."
The two chatted for about ten minutes until William returned to the manor on Kensington Garden Street and saw his mother's car parked outside the main building.
He said directly to Pierce, "Sorry, Mr. Pierce, if you have nothing else, I have to hang up and deal with my mother."
"Okay, then I'll be direct." Pierce thought for a few seconds and said, "Can you tell me why you want to go to the moon and Mars in person?
Maybe after you say it, we can cooperate and solve some of the cumbersome declaration procedures for you. "
"Hehe, I'll send you a photo and you'll understand. But after that, I need you to help me with all the matters related to the launch of the spaceship.
"Finally, let me remind you, if the photo is found out by the third or fourth person other than you, I will kill you. Do you agree?"
"Alien?"
Pierce only thought for a few seconds and immediately determined that William must have used some method to find the traces of the Alien.
Otherwise, he really couldn't figure out how a ruthless person like William would tell him the secret other than the Alien that he already knew.
He even said that he would kill him if he leaked the secret.
After hanging up the phone, Pierce pressed the replay key, intending to listen to the recording of the call just now. Unfortunately, only a hoarse squeaking sound came out.
