"Report, the missile launched by the Peace Group has circled the Earth six times and just passed over the eastern part of Japan Island, heading towards the west coast of Magnesium!"
"In the report, Japan proposed to supplement and improve the Outer Space Treaty, requesting the following new clauses: a ban on the deployment of any form of weapons in space; a ban on conducting biological and chemical experiments in space that could threaten humanity; and a ban on private companies launching any materials into space."
"Hmph..." A sneer was heard in the conference room, but it was not directed at the secretary who was reporting the news at the door.
No one present spoke. Some were smoking, some were resting with their eyes closed, and some were drinking tea and reading newspapers, as if they were not in a meeting.
"The report states that Magnesium said it could invite my country to join the World Trade Organization and hopes to work with us to build a new world order."
"Reporting, Consultant Zhang has just returned to Shenzhen Peace Hospital and is preparing to use the Lifespan 120 potion on Elder Qian."
The secretary who was reporting the news would come to the door from time to time, but no one spoke in the meeting room. The thick gray smoke made the atmosphere very depressing.
"Report, the military aerospace force has reported that after mobilizing over 60% of the satellite resources of the space-based early warning system, they are able to achieve a 100% interception rate for Mach 12 Peace missiles! They asked if we should attempt an interception?"
As soon as this news arrived, the entire venue seemed to come alive. Not only was there discussion, but the thick smoke that enveloped everyone's heads was also dispersed a lot.
"Why are you stopping us?" an old man in green military uniform said with a smile, "We just want you to see our supersonic missiles!"
The old man in navy uniform laughed and said, "If those brats from the Space Force intercept Advisor Zhang's missiles, I'm afraid Advisor Zhang will come to our house tonight and beat them up. Haha!"
An elderly man in a gray Mao suit nearby asked, "Why is the response from the military aerospace force so slow? The Peace Missile is already circling the Earth for the seventh time!"
"Didn't Xiao Zhou just say that?" another elderly man in a gray Mao suit said with a smile, "No emergency combat readiness order has been issued. Many satellite resources need to be coordinated, otherwise the commercial contract will be disrupted."
"Oh! As long as our satellite can intercept supersonic missiles, my heart will be at ease!" Other old men in the venue sighed.
Secretary Xiao Zhou was still standing at the door, holding a black hard-cover folder, waiting for a reply from Mr. Yang, who was presiding over the meeting.
After Yang Lao waited for everyone to vent their emotions for a while, he slowly asked, "Did they tell me the details of intercepting the Peace missile? How many satellites and laser interception groups would be needed?"

Shenzhen, Heping Hospital.
"The Outer Space Treaty only bans weapons of mass destruction, and electromagnetic pulse bombs are at best anti-satellite weapons."
Elder Qian, who had just been injected with a 120-year lifespan potion, was now lying in bed. He said to Zhang Heping, who was examining him, and Elder Hua and Elder Zheng, who were standing nearby:
"When the Outer Space Treaty was drafted last year, we and North Sudan both proposed a ban on the deployment of conventional weapons in outer space, but Europe, the Middle East, and other countries disagreed!"
"Now, with the Peace Corps' Mach 12 supersonic missile disrupting the situation, coupled with the threat of an electromagnetic pulse bomb with a blast radius of over a thousand kilometers, OMG will surely be eager to re-sign the Outer Space Treaty and ban all weapons from entering space."
"Treaties are meant to be torn up!" Zhang Heping withdrew his hand, stood up, and said at the bedside: "They are thinking of prohibiting it now because they realize they are lagging behind!"
"In a few years, when they develop electromagnetic pulse bombs and anti-satellite laser weapons, do you think they will still ban them?"
Old Qian laughed and said, "Our ancestors have long mastered the strategy of delaying the war. How could we be fooled by them?"
Zhang Heping gave a few instructions to Mr. Qian's family, then handed the ward over to the medical staff of the cosmetology department. He then took Mr. Hua and Mrs. Zheng back to Heping College.
When they arrived at Villa No. 1, Mr. Hua was still a little worried. He walked up to Zhang Heping and took him by the parasol outside the villa. After getting Zhang Heping's assurance that he would try his best to restrain himself, he let Zhang Heping go home.
In fact, Zhang Heping has achieved the purpose of his trip to Hong Kong Island.
To help the Hong Kong Chinese Business Association become the global Chinese business association!
Although he and Chen Shuting left early, the subsequent missile incident confirmed that the Peace Group was about to engage in arms business.
Just based on this point, how can other Chinese businessmen compare? Why don’t they just come to Hong Kong Island and curry favor with us?
Another thing is to control the orbit change of Japan-Magnesium satellites and threaten Japan and Magnesium to withdraw their intelligence personnel from Hong Kong Island.
The special intelligence personnel of the Magnesium Country will definitely not withdraw completely. Even if they really withdraw completely, there will be non-staff personnel who have been bribed by them to stay in Hong Kong Island and continue to collect intelligence for them or carry out sabotage.
Similarly, even if Mitsui's companies evacuate Hong Kong Island, some of their intelligence personnel will remain in hiding.
However, none of this matters. Zhang Heping is simply expressing an attitude of impending revenge.
To this end, he asked Umbrella Security Company to send an electromagnetic pulse bomb into space, making a gesture of possible retaliation at any time.
Of course, the most crucial purpose of this trip is to convey to the outside world, "Don't make me angry, or I'll use the Lifespan Space Capsule as a biological weapon!"
He did this mainly to prevent his family from being attacked.
If it was Zhang Heping's family members who were burned to death or seriously injured that night, Zhang Heping would never have been so restrained in waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. He would have disguised himself and gone to Japan to behead them!
In order to "trap" Zhang Heping, Director Zhao of the Neurosurgery Department and three other senior experts who were about to receive the drug that would extend their lifespan to 3 years were taken to the Shenzhen Peace Hotel along with their families that afternoon.
At the same time, technical problems from Wucheng Shipyard, Wucheng Iron and Steel Plant, and Xishan Aircraft Manufacturing Plant also flooded into Zhang Heping's side through phone calls and emails.
Unfortunately, Zhang Heping now has many capable people under him, and many tasks and problems can be transferred to others to do or answer.
Even the spacecraft inspection project from Peace Aerospace only delayed him for one day.
Time quickly came to noon on February 2th, and there were less than three hours left before the three-day deadline set by the Peace Group.
The supersonic missile launched by the Peace Group has already circled the earth 23 times and has no signs of landing yet. However, the frequency of trajectory changes has decreased a lot, as if it is waiting for other countries to intercept it!
Today is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. It is the first day of work for the employees of Heping Group. They are all a bit lazy and have not yet recovered from the holiday.
In contrast, there are the Hong Kong Island branches of the Mitsui Group, including Sakura Bank, Mitsui & Co., and Toyota.
With the upcoming 3-day deadline, they were unwilling to leave Hong Kong Island, but the Peace Group did not urge them, while the Japanese government urged them very urgently, because they did not dare to gamble with a satellite in the sky worth tens of billions of magnesium dollars!
At the same time, they didn't dare to bet whether Zhang Heping would dare to use that electromagnetic pulse bomb to bomb their Dongdu.
Because they put themselves in the shoes of others and feel that between Japan and Magnesium, it seems that only Japan is the soft persimmon.
Even if Zhang Heping used missiles to bomb their Dongdu, they would not dare to send troops or people to the mainland or Hong Kong Island to capture Zhang Heping.
The most important issue is that, thinking from the perspective of the United States, the people of Magnesium should really hope that Zhang Heping will drop the electromagnetic pulse bomb on the eastern part of Japan to test its power!
In this way, not only will the country of Magnesium not be bombed, but it will also be possible to test whether the bomb that Zhang Heping mentioned can reach an explosion radius of 1000 kilometers.
Therefore, the Japanese government really does not dare to gamble whether Zhang Heping dares to bomb the eastern capital of Japan!

Governor's House, Central, Hong Kong Island.
"I sent customs officials to check the boats carrying the Japanese!" A blond Eagle Countryman walked into the reception room and said to the Governor and others with a look of malice on his face:
"I had customs detain them until 3: p.m., and only let them go after their visas had expired. I wonder if the Peace Group will retaliate against them for this, hehe!"
The Governor asked noncommittally, "How many of the Magnesium Special Intelligence Service personnel are still there?"
The head of the Eagle Country CIA in Hong Kong pulled out his phone, glanced at it, and said with a smile, "Three people are in the Magnesium Embassy in Hong Kong, five are scattered among the Hong Kong Island branches of the five major Magnesium banks, and 3 people wanted to go to the mainland but were unsuccessful."
The CIA chief said this, carefully checking the messages on his phone before confirming, "Currently, only these eight Magnesium agents are still in Hong Kong Island!"
"Find an internet cafe. At 3 o'clock, post the whereabouts of those eight Magnesium agents on the World Internet Forum!" The Governor said indifferently, "Don't let anyone know it was us!"
"I'm really looking forward to the explosion of that electromagnetic pulse bomb!" The blond American man who just came in walked to the bar with a smile and started pouring champagne.
The group of Eagle Countrymen discussed quietly for a while, and then heard the Governor ask, "Are there any unusual movements in the Hong Kong stock market today?"
"No!" Shen Bi, who was sitting next to him, shook his head and said, "The funds of the Heping Group have not flowed into the Hong Kong stock market."

Shenzhen Peace College, top floor of the Biological Genetic Laboratory Building.
After lunch today, Zhang Heping came to the space capsule remote control center.
Mr. Hua, Mrs. Zheng and others thought Zhang Heping was going to control the missile that was still orbiting the earth, so they hurried over.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Heping came here just to hold a video conference.
Because the spacecraft is about to be launched into space, the task of transporting materials to the Shouyuan space capsule will fall on the spacecraft with larger internal space.
Zhang Heping held this meeting this afternoon, the main purpose of which was to coordinate space experiments of other scientific research units.
Just then, when Mr. Hua, Mrs. Zheng, and Director Wang came in, an assistant was calling the roll to check whether the scientific research units and research teams that had previously registered for the space experiment had joined the video conference.
As the video conference began, a spreadsheet opened on the large screen in the hall, on which was registered the consignment list of materials needed for the development of longevity medicine.
The first stage of the meeting was to register the names of space experiments, names of consignments, weight and volume of each scientific research unit and research group.
The second stage is to reduce the weight and volume of some items based on the spacecraft's load capacity and internal space.
The third stage is to determine the launch time of the spacecraft!
The first stage was simple. Zhang Heping didn't say a word throughout the whole process and left the registration work to the young students.
During the second phase, because the weight of the materials counted exceeded 5 tons, Zhang Heping had to carefully inquire about the experimental content and number of experiments of each scientific research unit and research group.
After asking about all the experimental projects, Zhang Heping thought for just a few minutes and then began to communicate one by one. He either reduced their spare materials, or asked several research teams to share some instruments and equipment, or suggested that a certain experiment be carried out on the ground first.
Just for the communication of the second phase of the meeting, Zhang Heping discussed with scientific researchers from all over the country until 18 p.m. in the evening. In the end, he had not finished yet and had to wait an hour after dinner to continue the communication.
When Zhang Heping asked everyone to go to dinner, Mr. Hua, Mrs. Zheng and the others were still sitting there checking the news on their phones.
This afternoon, although Zhang Heping and the Heping Group did not behave abnormally, other forces really wanted to see the electromagnetic pulse bomb explode.
As a result, Zhang Heping, whom Mr. Hua and his friends had been worried about for three days, did not cause any more trouble as he had promised, but Hong Kong Island was very lively.
Zhang Heping glanced at the news that Mr. Hua was reading: "Mitsui's evacuation vessel was hit, who is hindering their evacuation?" He couldn't help but laugh.
"Let's go. You've been looking at your phones all afternoon. Don't your eyes feel idle?"
After saying this, Zhang Heping left the control center and went straight home to eat.
Zhang Heping did not expect the Heping Group's three-day deadline to have much effect. As long as the people from Japan's Mitsui and the Magnesium Special Intelligence Bureau showed signs of evacuating Hong Kong Island, Zhang Heping would have won the game.
As for those methods that cannot be used in public, they must be carried out in secret and must not be talked about by others.
The fact that the Peace Group failed to detonate the electromagnetic pulse bomb within three days disappointed other forces.
However, after the Peace Group's missile flew around the earth 30 times, the negotiation of the supplementary clauses of the Outer Space Treaty attracted the attention of various forces again.
Except for the Eagle Country, Japan, Europe and the United States have all spoken out through the media, proposing a ban on the deployment of any weapons in space for the sake of the safety of all mankind.
The mainland originally did not want to pay attention to their proposal, but it could not stop this group of shameless people from moving out of the UN General Assembly.
Then, the bickering began.
Peace Group's missiles continued to circle in space, and meetings on the ground were vetoed again and again.
August 2th, Sunday morning.
After the Heping Group's missile circled the earth 70 times, Heping Aerospace invited many domestic, Hong Kong and Macao media, as well as primary and secondary school students to board the ship to watch the launch of the country's first monkey-carrying spacecraft.
In order to expand the impact range of this rocket launch, Zhang Heping decided to adopt an ocean launch mode.
So, early this morning, the group of media reporters and primary and secondary school students followed the tugboat out to sea and towed the unfueled rocket to the designated sea area.
Then, they were on the tugboat, and saw from a distance that the supply ship was filling the rocket with fuel, and watched the rocket slowly stand up in the water.
With the 10 cruisers clearing the area, the designated launch area was completely cleared.
Because Hong Kong and Macau media were broadcasting live, many people came to watch by boat out to sea. Many people from Hong Kong Island also gathered on the roof or climbed to the top of the mountain to watch the rocket launch.
Zhang Heping and his family have watched many rocket launches, so this time they are sitting in the Heping Space Rocket Launch Command Center, watching the surveillance footage on the big screen.
It is called a spacecraft, but in fact it is an upgraded version of the small return capsule that was previously carried into space by the Shouyuan space capsule. It is large enough to seat 6 astronauts and carry 10 tons of supplies.
Zhang Heping did not develop a space shuttle like the one used by the United States because it was too wasteful of fuel.
The fuel required to launch a space shuttle like that once with a carrier rocket and bring it back to the ground is enough for Peace Space to launch six spacecraft.
As the Peace Space rocket rushed out of the sea like a white dragon and successfully penetrated into the clouds, the launch mission was half successful.
The remaining half still needs to wait for the large return capsule to dock with the four lifespan space capsules, and the supplies and experimental monkeys in the return capsule will be distributed to the four lifespan space capsules.
As for the return of the spacecraft, that is another task.
It sounds simple, but it is extremely difficult to do.
Therefore, in order to see the failure of peaceful space travel, people from Japan, Europe and Magnesium temporarily canceled the UN meeting today to vote on banning the deployment of space weapons!
