Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 492: 187, a terrifying existence that rivals five divisions with the body of one person_1

Chen Shanhe, of course, knew what Johnson Hester was referring to.

These two gifts were indeed priceless, but if compared to the gliding ballistic pathway, these antiques weren’t even worth one hair of nine oxen.

Only when the nation was strong could it safeguard these antiques and plunder more resources from other countries.

While the neighbor hoards grain, I stockpile arms; thus, my neighbor becomes my granary.

However…

Chen Shanhe was also very clever and wouldn’t hand over the most crucial intelligence right off the bat. Otherwise, once he lost his value, who knew how Johnson Hester would treat him.

A common man is not guilty; he’s guilty when he holds a jade token!

Simply possessing the data model for the gliding ballistic pathway was enough to sentence Chen Shanhe to death.

After all, if he could hand this technology over to America today, he could give it to other countries tomorrow.

Chen Shanhe said with a polite smile, “Mr. Hester, I know you’re in a hurry, but I’d like to ask you to be patient. Truth be told, I don’t have the mathematical model for the gliding ballistic pathway on me; it’s in the safest place in the world.”

“To prove that I indeed possess such technology, I’ve specially recorded this video for your review,” he said.

Chen Shanhe took out a USB drive from his pocket and placed it on the desk.

Didn’t bring the mathematical model?

Johnson Hester knew, of course, that Chen Shanhe was holding out for a better deal, hoping to get some benefits from him.

It must be said, this guy’s mental fortitude was remarkable; even in this dire situation, he was still thinking of bargaining and wasn’t in the least bit worried about incurring his wrath and ending up in a dead-end situation.

Such magnanimity and courage were truly extraordinary.

Hester was uncertain whether to view the content on the USB drive. Just when he was trying to find a way to consult with Mr. Lin in the secret room, a very faint voice came through the micro-earpiece in his ear.

“Let him play it.”

The voice belonged to none other than Lin Mo, who sat in the secret room, monitoring every move in the office through the surveillance camera.

Receiving the instruction, Hester parroted, “I hope your video can persuade me, otherwise the price of deceiving me may be more than you can bear.”

Chen Shanhe nodded slightly and stood to one side without speaking.

He was extremely confident in his recorded video and had no fear that Hester would question the gliding ballistic pathway’s mathematical model after watching it.

Hester picked up the USB drive and plugged it into the laptop on the desk, opening the only video file on the drive.

The video’s background was at sea, and one could roughly make out that it showed a warship bearing the Japanese flag.

A group of people on the warship were busily operating something, with every face etched in tension.

Johnson Hester also noticed a detail: two people in the video were familiar to him. They were Chen Shanhe’s son, Chen Ze, and his trusted subordinate Qian Sheng.

The reason for the recognition was that Lin Mo had previously provided information about these two individuals to Chen Shanhe.

Having scrutinized all the materials, Hester naturally recognized them.

Lin Mo’s curiosity was piqued as well; he was eager to see if Chen Shanhe truly had access to the mathematical model for the gliding ballistic pathway.

After all, this was Grand Xia’s national treasure, a top secret among secrets.

To develop this technology, countless predecessors and martyrs had worked tirelessly, investing tremendous amounts of time and even sacrificing their lives.

This pivotal military technology, designed to protect the nation and its people, was now being used by Chen Shanhe as a means to save his own life, which deeply irritated Lin Mo.

The video was filled with the sound of rolling waves and the crew issuing various commands to one another.

Although it was a Japanese warship, one could tell that it was fully manned by Grand Xia nationals.

Once everything was ready, Chen Ze issued the launch command.

Whoosh——————

As his voice fell, the warship’s launch bay opened, and a nearly 10-meter-long rocket with an orange tail flame shot straight towards the deep blue sky.

At the same time,

All high-powered audio and video recording equipment had been turned on, and Japan’s own satellites began tracking the rocket’s trajectory.

From the video, one could observe the rocket’s flight path from an incredibly close distance.

The rocket’s initial speed was very fast, and in a blink, it had soared to a height of tens of thousands of meters. And at that moment, the flight path changed.

The projectile, which had been following a parabolic curve, suddenly started to fall, performing spiral and irregular movements.

After a certain extent of movement, the projectile resumed a sprint posture in defiance of physics and broke through the atmosphere, disappearing from the video.

The video switched to satellite tracking, showing a quickly moving red dot, clearly indicating the rocket that had hurtled by.

The video sped up, and after about five or six minutes of actual time, the rocket reappeared on the screen.

This time its flight trajectory no longer changed, but its acceleration continued to increase.

2 Mach.

5 Mach.

10 Mach.

15 Mach.

The projectile flew at a speed more than 15 times the speed of sound and accurately hit the target painted on the ground.

Boom——————

A loud explosion rang out, a cloud of dust obscuring the whole screen, the immense force palpable even through the monitor.
