“China has finally discovered Atlas' existence and purpose. ”

“What?”

Sudden reporting by information staff.

The Minister of National Defence dropped the coffee cup that was holding the rest of his surprise.

It was a week before Atlas' test launch.

Atlas and Pegasus planned it much sooner than expected.

I think I got a lot from the Zero Day Attack last time.

“.. is Mr. President aware of this as well? ”

“I know you've already been reported through your assistant. ”

“Oh, my...”

The minister had already realized that it was too late to take action.

Atlas was scheduled for a stratospheric flight from his first test flight to 120,000 feet.

But things went wrong.

China has too much information to respond with bluffing.

It became clear that China would take a very rigid stance as long as Atlas' confidentiality was fully accessed.

As expected, the aftermath of a confidential leak erupted two days later.

“China strongly opposes the military use of the U.S. Department of Defense against space orbit.

I will be thoroughly accountable for any subsequent situation. ”

“The Atlas project of the United States is deeply concerned by the serious violations of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and the Outer Space Peace Treaty.

Russia strongly demands the immediate cessation of projects that threaten the world. ”

Warning remarks by Chinese and Russian ambassadors to the United States were aimed precisely at Atlas.

Six hours later.

China's orbital interceptor missile was launched from a 055-grade air cruiser.

A soaring interceptor missile fired a short-range ballistic missile that flew into the air for targeting from above the South China Sea.

China's newest high-altitude interceptor missile was first unveiled.

Some time later, Russian high-altitude interceptor missiles were also launched from the Kirov class cruiser, testing for airborne targets.

The use of missiles in both countries is high-altitude interception, but in fact it is a weapon for destroying structures in space orbit.

Both Atlas and Space Reading are no longer safe as long as they can equip small nuclear warheads.

Eventually, an emergency measures meeting was held again in the White House.

A gathering of directors, assistants, defense ministers, and space force commanders from each division.

The President opened his mouth first.

“No more measures than China and Russia already know about the Atlas plan? ”

“Yes.

Mr. President, there will be considerable difficulties in building dogyards into space orbit in the future. ”

The Space Force Commander replied.

“Hmm. You don't have any measures against him?

Didn't everyone expect to face opposition from both sides? ”

“I was expecting that.

A short time ago, an electronic warfare conflict between the Russian navy and its fleet aggravated emotions.

This rigid position is not part of our plan. ”

“Mm-hmm.”

The president swallowed his jaw with an immersion.

Certainly, the reason Russell came out rigidly was a short time ago when a collision in the vicinity of Japanese waters was decisive.

With one military confrontation, space planning became a target.

This did not mean that the Pegasus plan could not be stopped.

Atlas, the most key Phase I plan of the Pegasus plan.

Atlas, an ultra-large cargo spacecraft to build the Extra Large Space Dog, was already completed.

But I didn't expect to encounter such a powerful tackle just before the first test flight.

Even if everyone asked me to take measures, there was no pointed way.

As the tedious meeting continued, the Minister of National Defence opened his mouth.

“Mr. President, what about using private camouflage companies for Pegasus projects? ”

“An undercover company...”

The faces of the attendees, including the President, were illuminated.

Certainly that method has considerable merit.

Isn't there already a precedent for Navis Horsemen and Monster Hunters?

Of course, Navis was suspected by the Korean government a while back.

Certainly they are not Korean government gastroenterprises.

However, creating or utilizing gastro-intestinal businesses similar to Navis is a very effective bluffing method.

The president nodded and asked.

“Minister, what kind of company would you prefer to use as a gastrointestinal enterprise? ”

“In order to take advantage of the gastro-intestinal business, there is a need to ban Navis first.

In the case of Navis, we produce a horse-drawn horse-drawn horse-drawn aircraft, while at the same time producing flying capabilities.

improving aircraft performance using self-fabricated aircraft components;

And following the development of ion propulsion engines and fusion impulse engines, we've recently dived into nuclear submarine refurbishment at a shipyard in Korea. ”

“Otherwise, they've gradually expanded their field with aerospace and dissipation around robotics. ”

“So there's a need for us to benchmark those navies and use similar companies as undercover companies. ”

“.. where is the company? ”

“The USRobotics are also the most powerful. ”

“Isn't USRobotics Titan's maker? ”

“That's right. As much as we've helped to grow Navis into a competitive company,

We have the optimum conditions for the establishment of Pegasus as a disguise. ”

“So if we put US Robotics into a disguise, we can definitely root out China's suspicions? ”

“China will never be able to bait Nasdaq's listing. ”

“Excellent. The ministers and directors will work together to move forward with the plan. ”

“Yes, Mr. President. ”

That is why the approval of the House fell short.

A week later.

The Atlas space shuttle was unveiled to the press with the mark of the USRobotics.

DM Shipyard Restaurant.

“Hope Commander, the USRobotics have developed a large space shuttle with a capacity of 200 tons. ”

In the words of the former head of the submarine business who was eating together, I thought hope was strange.

“Huh, space shuttle?

USRobotics is the recipe for making that weird looking Titan robot. ”

A company that's a little less technological than Navis suddenly?

Something's a little weird.

It's not NASA, it's not Boeing, it's not Lockheed Martin, it's a space shuttle from USRobotics.

A former chief reads the news on his phone and says,

“Based on the article, I think we're going to get the U.S. government to take back the space orbit commercially.

I saw it on the news, and for the time being, I'm talking about using the shuttle to clean up space orbits.

What, shoot a bunch of carbon nets and drop space debris? ”

Hope came out laughing.

“Haha, how much money does it cost to develop a spaceship?

So we, Navis, are still not into space development.

You're just using a 200-ton space shuttle to clean up space debris? ”

“That's a little weird, though. ”

I curled my head as if I didn't know the chief.

Hopefully, the former chief was a technology-related employee, so there was no way to break through the political issues.

Certainly, there is an American government behind this enormous space initiative.

In general, it's a great deal to build a 20-ton payload space shuttle.

200 tons.

The C17 Globe Master's package with 77 tons of payload is worth over $300 million.

So I have no idea what the cost of a space shuttle with a payload of 200 tons is.

It was very difficult for one enterprise to handle such a huge project.

Anyway, what was important to hope right now was not the American space shuttle.

The Akula submarine in the dry dock is a top priority.

Hope after the meal went into the dry dock with the former chief.

On the dry dock, two Navis' aircraft are under construction, and the top of the dock is covered with huge airtents.

“By the way, I'm amazing.

No matter how many jobs you do, it takes time.

I can't believe this is happening so fast. ”

I was impressed today when I saw the rapidly changing submarine.

The LTES-grade work speed is, in his view, unrealistically impossible.

However, it was very natural for hope to have the experience of pulling out a wind-light like a six-toe aircraft.

So it didn't make sense to leave the howling pack like that.

“Ex-Chief, how long will it take you to refurbish a submarine? ”

“It usually only takes at least two years for basic reinforcements and repairs to the nuclear submarine.

Because submarines are actually the hardest ships on the planet to build. ”

“What about making a new one? ”

“Usually for at least four years to create more than 10,000 tons of nuclear sleep,

Usually it takes six years. ”

The hope of hearing that was ridiculous.

In six years, the XHR1 horsepower will turn into XHR3.

No matter how long the drying period was, it didn't make sense.

“No... what steel plate do you want to cut and weld just to finish?

What kind of submarine have you been building for six years? ”

“The submarine welds the cylinder part, which is the middle part of the hull.

The entire part to be connected must be placed in a special heating machine and heated to high temperature.

Special steel for submarines is very sensitive to temperature and humidity when welding.

A little twist will weaken the junction strength or crack it. ”

“Hush... so I've been messing with the sealing all over the dock like this...”

And it turns out the shipyard staff put a large tent and a blockade on top of the dock.

I was working in a hot environment.

The sweaty look tells us that it is difficult to remodel a submarine.

“Yes, and this submarine has titanium hulls, so it's hard to work at least 20 times as hard as that special steel.

You have to seal it with a special solution even before you drill a tiny hole.

If you do not completely immerse yourself in the special solution and block oxygen contact,

Heat cracks or rigidity degradation in the titanium connections.

Severe damage can also affect the entire submarine. ”

“Ah... very sensitive. The process has begun.”

“So when we first saw this nuclear submarine, all of our employees were surprised.

No matter how crazy you think it is to make a nuclear submarine out of titanium.

Honestly, it doesn't make any sense to see what kind of crazy idea this is. ”

“Well, it's not that hard.”

Hope did not understand that even a titanium submarine would be difficult to refurbish and time-consuming.

It is based on Navis' skills everywhere.

A ridiculous former chief could not burst into a sigh.

“Phew! That's because it's an abnormal Navis standard.

For regular ship owners, the pace of work now makes no sense.

Where is our DM? Isn't this the world's number one shipbuilding company? ”

“Right."

“I feel so devastated these days that I'm working on a submarine part of a company like that.

It doesn't make any sense to make this kind of progress in just a few weeks. ”

“... well, yes. ”

Hope nods.

Nevertheless, the competitors of Navis must feel the same way.

Companies like US Robotics or the Japanese Robotics Consortium that made Titan or Ninja.

When they're classical to products that are less than HR1,

Navis defeated the Great Lord with the third generation gas-finisher.

The exterior of the Acula submarine is now completely covered with gray artificial muscle instead of rubber tiles.

The internal survival zone, the pressure hull, also ends reinforcement work.

At the current pace, only three weeks remained until the renovation was completed.

Hope entered the pressure hull to see the submarine's working situation.

The pressure hull area is sequentially undergoing interior work and strength reinforcement of the three mothers.

Pressure hull refers to a circular cylinder with a tight front and back to withstand water pressure.

Inside the circular cylinder, sailors live in machinery rooms, warehouses, and restaurants.

But there are two such pressure hulls inside Accula.

It also has an enormously large pressure hull that is twice as big as a regular nuclear submarine.

Swimming pools and ping-pong tables and saunas fill the space.

It's such a big space.

In the middle of the pressure hull there is a bulge called a circular reinforcement corresponding to the frame.

Surrender strength is increased by more than three times by wrapping the surrounding area with monstrous biological muscles and bones.

Ah, at the end of all the work, the depth of the harbour will be increased by more than 2,500 meters.

On the one hand, Ye Jin and Jin in Nazi clothes are spellbinding at the end of reinforcement work.

Both are soaked in sweat.

“Oh, it's hot. It's summer inside you.

It's too hot in here. ”

As Jezin swallowed a bottle of ice-covered pity, hope shook Jezin's shoulders.

“It's hard, I'm out. ”

“No, but it's fun, so you have to endure it, and the submarine interior is the first time, so you're motivated. ”

“Brother Chii only takes care of you all the time. ”

She looks at me with a pointed expression and laughs with hope.

She was also very cute.

“Hahaha, I've had a lot of trouble. ”

“Hehe, brother, if you make all this, I want to ride with my sister and go touring everywhere. ”

“Hahaha... coffin... tourism is good. ”

Hope smiles softly at the margins.

If not, we will carry four stables to make tourism right.

Turns out the submarine accidentally became a multi-roll submarine with anti-aircraft capabilities at the same time.

What if something like that happened on top of last reading?

When the supernova appears, the finalist shoots and comes in with a bow, and that's it.

When the submarine appears, the finalist launches and once the bow is fired, it's over.

Even when the destroyer appears, the finalist jumps over the sea and comes to the end once and for all with a vigor or a sword.

But last time, during the Wave, the Tartan Knights sprung up two U.S. Navy naval leaflets like that.

“Umm... won't this be a problem later? ”

It was a complex issue, I think.

“Era, I don't know. If you say something in the surrounding country, you can just call it a cruise ship.

What are you gonna do? It's for tourism... ”

Hope decided to feel comfortable.

In fact, the Akula submarine is a submarine so devoted to tourism purposes.

Take a sightseeing trip, or burn a sightseeing trip.

Anyway, the tourist submarine was hit.
