Putting on the new Type 4 Armor specially prepared for space travel, William was about to board the spacecraft with a pressure helmet in his arms.
Then he heard Lena's worried shout. "William, can't you let other professional test pilots go?"
She didn't hear William say that there was absolutely no problem with safety, so she interrupted with an uneasy expression.
"Technical confidentiality and the like are nonsense to me. Money is not a problem for our family. Change."
Hearing this, the English officials and military waiting by the spacecraft were overjoyed.
On the one hand, they really didn't want anything to happen to William, who could design and build the spacecraft. After all, William was an Englishman and his identity was a hereditary aristocrat.
Even the Englishmen who didn't like the aristocrats looked at William differently from the aristocrats who inherited the title of nobility and wealth.
It was easier for people to accept and worship him to get the title of nobility and become a super-rich person with his own efforts.
In addition, in recent days, there have been data people on TV and newspapers from time to time saying that if the Martian spacecraft flew to Mars, as William said before, it would only take a few dozen days.
Then England would be the first to enter the interstellar era, and William's genius brain would keep inventing and transforming.
England's Mars migration would make it easy to get extraterrestrial precious resources for free or at a low price.
No Englishman would want anything to happen to William, the inventor, for this kind of thing that would benefit the country and the people.
On the other hand, they probably also understood that only Lena, as William's mother, could persuade him.
Once William's test flight was successful, they would not get the chance to go to Mars in the future unless William got tired of it.
Looking at Lena, who was grabbing his arm with a worried face, and Abby and the other women who were also worried, William shook his head helplessly.
He handed the helmet in his hand to Serena, who had been leading the guards at the space center, and took his mother's hand to leave the spacecraft.
Just when everyone thought this was agreeing to Lena's request, they saw William covering his ears and saying to Sunday.
"I'll leave the test flight to you."
"Understood, Sir."
"Beep, beep, beep." A few long beeps were heard, and the spaceship landed in front of the shocked eyes of the English officials and military.
Closing the hatch, the low-power automatic engine started, and the guards retreated in panic as they cried out in alarm.
He slowly turned the plane around and glided onto the runway.
"Wait, wait, Mr. Devonshire." An old man in military uniform with four stars on his shoulder quickly walked in front of William.
Just as he was about to speak in a commanding tone, the old man saw William's unbelievably young face and felt that he should be more polite.
He couldn't help but think that as long as there were no accidents, he would be able to survive in the next few decades or even a hundred years.
The Devonshire family would become the most famous and influential family in England.
If he offended the little guy in front of him in a moment of pleasure, then wouldn't his descendants suffer revenge?
Furthermore, during this period of time, the number of spies and spies that had been dealt with by Kingsman's men had reached dozens. Judging from this, the people of the Devonshire family were not magnanimous and kind people.
Moreover, there was really no need for him to offend William, who had a better future and was also a big shot, for the sake of other people's interests.
"William, since the spaceship can be piloted unmanned, can you let my people on the spaceship?"
Seeing William frown, the four-star general patiently explained, "If the first test flight is piloted unmanned, I don't know what those reporters will say when the outside world finds out."
"If you're worried, my people only need to wear spacesuits and stay in the cabin. After the spaceship lands, they can walk out of the spaceship in front of the camera."
Isn't this just putting on a show?
William smiled and let go of his mother's hand. He walked to the side with the four-star general and muttered in a low voice.
"Are you worried that the outside world will slander our relationship?"
"That's right, God, it's easy to talk to smart people. Since the spaceship can be controlled by artificial intelligence, you don't have to worry about leaks.
Besides, we're supporting you with all our might, so you have to let some people see hope. This is good for everyone. "
"Do you need me to sponsor a spacesuit?"
After William finished speaking, the four-star general was overjoyed to see the spaceship slowly stop on the runway and the cabin door automatically open.
"No need, the data you gave us shows that as long as the body of the spaceship doesn't break, it doesn't matter if you wear a spacesuit or not."
"Then I won't disturb your work," William smiled and shook hands with the general, "Since it's a show, then I suggest you send two astronauts and a group of twelve soldiers up.
We have to let people know that if they want to fly to America in the future, they only need to fly into space and then descend. They will arrive in New York in half an hour.
This should make many English people feel excited and proud, and make others worry. "
"Are you sure it's half an hour?"
"Of course, if it weren't for the fact that we have to reduce our speed when we ascend into space and land to avoid air friction and wasting the lifespan of the spaceship,
With a speed of 100,000 kilometers per hour and the rotation of the blue planet, it would take less than ten minutes to reach New York. "
"This is, this is," Hearing that they could reach New York in ten minutes, the four-star general was so excited that he stuttered a little, "Doesn't that mean that in the future, our global strike and personnel dispatch will only take twenty minutes?"
"That's right, General," William smiled and patted the general's arm, "As for how to avoid the protests of the Americans, I think you must be very experienced, right?"
"Of course, as long as we don't land, we have plenty of reasons and excuses to shut the Americans up."
"Okay, I look forward to your performance," William thought with a smile. Could this be considered a Devonshire style of England's global strike?
In the future, he would have a direct strike method that everyone could personally experience.
The two shook hands again, and William brought his mother and the others to the viewing platform to deal with the English officials and Wilson who had rushed over.
Ten minutes later, two military astronauts deliberately put on spacesuits and boarded the spaceship first. Then, under everyone's surprised gazes,
Twelve fully armed elites of England's airborne regiment walked into the spaceship in two rows.
Seeing this, William asked Sunday, "Is there anything in the spaceship's cabin that needs to be kept secret?"
"Other than the emergency single landing cabin, there is nothing in the cargo cabin that needs to be kept secret."
Nothing could be seen from the appearance of the landing cabin. William said, "Then turn on the live broadcast and avoid the places that need to be kept secret.
You take care of the photography and editing. Be sure to make the people of England happy. "
"Understood, sir."
A few minutes later, they could only film some soldiers and the media with active weapons and equipment outside the aviation center.
They were pleasantly surprised to find that the aviation center had responded to William's request.
A live broadcast of part of the interior of the spaceship was opened to the media and the people of England to enhance the confidence and pride of all the people of England.
When all the people of England who were watching the live broadcast saw the interior of the spaceship,
There was also a soldier under the command of Sunday. After a limited introduction of the spaceship, the whole of England fell into a celebratory atmosphere.
