The Heavens: A Qing, the Yue Girl at the beginning

Shi Yi Guang stretched out his finger and tapped the communicator lightly, and the encrypted channel was instantly connected.

Her voice was calm and clear, as if she was just discussing an impending rainstorm: "Principal Angers, I think you have seen the 'fireworks show' in space."

On the other end of the phone, Angers stood at the entrance of the Yuanshi Heavy Industry Building, silent for a moment, the satellite images in his hand were constantly refreshing. He looked at the sixteen missile tracks that were accurately intercepted on the screen, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"What an impressive anti-missile system." He spoke slowly, his voice low, "But, Miss Shi, you didn't call me just to show off, did you?"

Shi Yiguang smiled slightly: "Of course not. I just want to remind you that the next movement may be a bit loud."

Ange frowned: "What do you mean?"

"It means..." She looked outside the cabin, her eyes penetrating the thick black ice cabin wall, as if she could see the sword light falling at a high speed, "Zhao Qing has locked onto the launcher."

"The next thing she has to do, of course, is to collect the debt."

Ange's breathing paused slightly.

"I understand." He said slowly, "What kind of assistance do you need from Cassel?"

"No need." Shi Yiguang smiled, "You just need to... be a witness."

Due to strong electromagnetic interference, communications were temporarily interrupted.

……

The outer rune array of the space magic array platform named "Qingxiao No. 1" suddenly lit up, and Zhao Qing's figure turned into a stream of red-gold light, swooping down from space. Behind her, thousands of solar god thunder swords followed like a meteor shower, leaving brilliant light traces in the vacuum.

——Target, abandoned military base in Siberia, K-7.

Her speed far exceeded that of conventional spacecraft, and in the blink of an eye, she broke through the limit of the first cosmic speed. The plasma flames generated by the friction of the atmosphere enveloped her body, but could not hurt her at all. On the contrary, these violent energies were absorbed by her body-protecting sword energy, further accelerating!
——Mach 30!

——Mach 50!

——Mach 100!

——Mach 200!

Her speed is still soaring!

On the surface of the earth below, countless military satellites, radar stations, and observatories simultaneously captured this amazing scene - a flaming "meteor" was falling towards Siberia at an incredible speed, drawing a slightly curved line!

In just a few minutes, she had crossed thousands of miles, dived down from low-Earth orbit, and reached the edge of the atmosphere.

——Then, re-enter the atmosphere!

"boom--!!!"

The air was compressed to the limit in an instant, and the shock waves roared like an angry dragon, forming circles of blazing white plasma shock wave rings around the sword light. The ultra-high-speed friction caused violent ionization, and the violent electromagnetic pulses swept down like a tsunami with her as the center!

"Zi-ZiZi-"

All electronic equipment within a radius of hundreds of miles failed instantly!
All electronic equipment failed at the same moment, snowflakes flew across the radar screen, and the communication channel was drowned out by harsh noise.

The operators in the K-7 base were horrified to find that their control system was completely paralyzed. Even the automatic defense system of the missile silo was in a state of shutdown. Even the backup power supply of the underground command post was sparking under the impact of the magnetic storm!

——This is Zhao Qing’s “entry announcement”!
"what happened?!"

"Damn it! All systems failed!"

"Energy readings...out of range!"

"She is coming……"

However, their panic was not over yet.

"boom!!!"

A red-gold sword light fell from the sky, like a punishment from the gods, and slammed heavily into the alchemical matrix outside the base!
This maze, constructed with ancient dragon technology, could distort space, mislead perception, and even make intruders lost forever. It was only slightly inferior to the real Nibelung and was a masterpiece of top alchemists. However, in front of Zhao Qing's sword power -

"break."

She uttered only one word.

The thundering sword energy that followed exploded, separating into countless tiny sword threads and bright lights, which intertwined, resonated and entangled with each other, revealing a vast phantom of the sacred Mount Sumeru. The accumulated sword power was overwhelming, and the rotation of yin and yang evolved the universe, as if supporting the eternal sky!

The mountain is so high that you can't see the top, the sky is covered with the sun and the moon, and the powerful attack of the Great Sutada Sword comes like a punishment from heaven!

The moment the sword landed on the ground, pieces of frozen soil surged up like waves, and the terrifying shock wave spread in a circular shape. The ground within a radius of dozens of miles was lifted up, and countless bottomless cracks spread like a spider web.

The structure of the alchemical maze collapsed bit by bit under the impact of the sword energy, and the dragon runes hidden in it exploded one after another, turning into light fragments all over the sky.

But this is just the beginning.

The disordered energy of heaven and earth spread wildly in all directions with Zhao Qing's landing point as the center!

"Click——!!!"

The sky was torn apart, and in the dark clouds, countless red-gold thunders rolled like mad dragons. Heavy rain poured down, but was evaporated by the high temperature in mid-air, forming a sea of ​​​​blazing white fog covering hundreds of miles.

The wild wind howled, blowing up snow waves tens of meters high. The frozen soil was lifted up, revealing the red magma underneath!

This momentum...

Crashed!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The flames of the explosion devoured everything, whether it was flesh and blood or steel buildings, all were reduced to ashes in the extreme high temperature.

In just a few seconds, the entire K-7 base was razed to the ground, leaving only a huge charred pit with a diameter of several kilometers. Magma was rolling at the bottom of the pit, like the gate of hell had opened.

Zhao Qing was suspended in mid-air with a cold look in his eyes.

"You are just an ant that hides its head but shows its tail." She said calmly, "Do you think you can escape death by hiding behind the scenes?"

Her divine consciousness spread like a tide, instantly locking onto a certain aura that was escaping madly, and pressed forward - that was the real mastermind behind the scenes, a giant dragon over thirty meters long.

It broke out from the ground nearby, its dark scales glowing with metallic luster, its golden eyes blazing like lava. Its wings spread out, stirring up a hurricane, and its angry roar resounded across the ice field. It turned out to be a dragon noble with the title of "Earl" among the next generation.

Although the distance was more than ten miles, the dragon's flying speed caused numerous sonic booms, making it difficult for the shock wave to catch up, but after locking onto the target, Zhao Qing didn't even look at it for a second time.

The blazing sword energy swept past, and the dragon's wings were cut off like paper. The dragon's blood had not yet splashed out before it was evaporated into scarlet mist by the high temperature.

“Roar!!” The giant dragon roared in pain, and its dragon might burst out, trying to release the Word Spirit of Immortality. However, its spirit had just been condensed when it was crushed by an even more terrifying sword intent!

The spirit is severely traumatized and the mind collapses.

Zhao Qing flicked his fingers lightly, and a ball of true sun fire flew out along with the sword intent, wrapping around the dragon's neck like a chain and beginning to refine its dragon body.

"No...impossible!"

The giant dragon struggled, and fear finally emerged in its eyes. "How could you... directly suppress my Word Spirit?!"

Zhao Qing did not answer.

The alchemists' carefully laid out mazes, the dragon lord's strong body, and the dragon scale defense that can withstand heavy bombs - in the face of the absolute power gap, they are all meaningless.

After a few seconds, the dragon's body was completely refined, leaving only a fist-sized crystal of dragon bone essence floating in the air.

……

After a while, the communication was reconnected.

Angers on the other side sighed softly: "You have succeeded. But what next? Countries will not tolerate an uncontrolled space weapon platform and allow it to disrupt the existing strategic balance."

"As far as I know, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has just adjusted the alert level of the missile defense system, three X-37B space planes have been scrambled, and Russia's Peresvet laser system is being warmed up - it seems that everyone has tacitly acknowledged that this is an out-of-control space weapon."

"Then please tell them not to panic, because no matter what my attitude is, this resistance is powerless." Shi Yiguang's voice was calm and sharp, "Unless they are willing to gamble their satellites, missile bases, and even the entire country's power system."

Ange was silent for a moment, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Finally, he spoke slowly: "I will try to mediate and try to have the school board contact the top leaders of all parties to prevent the situation from escalating, but don't expect everyone to remain rational. Fear of the unknown often turns into the most stupid violence."

"Although I understand your position, public opinion is not so rational. The media has been reporting crazily about the 'mysterious space weapon', and the rumor is spreading faster than you think."

"So, we are going to announce it directly to the world." Shi Yiguang's eyes became firm. "Instead of letting governments around the world speculate, it is better for us to control the right to speak."

Ange looked at her deeply and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Hijacking global signals."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Yi Guang turned to another screen, which was showing the military movements of countries around the world in real time.

……

The Pentagon, underground strategic command center.

On the huge electronic sand table, the simulated orbit was being updated in real time. The debris data of the sixteen missiles was marked as "successful interception", and the "irregular celestial body" temporarily numbered "NE-1142" by NASA was still floating in the low-Earth orbit, running freely.

Because Zhao Qing's counterattack and retaliation were much faster than ordinary people imagined, and the target of the action was surprisingly small, all parties involved have not yet learned and summarized the latest news.

"Gentlemen, we have just witnessed a space war the likes of which has never been seen in human history."

The Defense Minister pointed to the orbital data on the screen with a serious expression, "That 'low-Earth orbit object' - or, in other words, that 'space fortress' - intercepted sixteen intercontinental missiles in just a few minutes, and all with a 100% success rate."

"What does this mean?" asked an Air Force general in a deep voice.

"It means..." The intelligence chief took a deep breath, "Our satellites and space stations are no longer safe. Even our nuclear deterrence system may fail or collapse."

"Activate the Sky Shield plan!" The Defense Minister said solemnly, "All GPS satellites enter wartime orbits, and the laser anti-missile system is preheated. If that space station behaves hostilely, we must ensure that we can paralyze it in the first place!"

"But its interception capability far exceeds expectations!" An air force general frowned. "Not only can it directly strike targets within the atmosphere from space, it also has a strong ability to maneuver and change trajectory! This means that its strike range may cover the entire world! And our anti-missile system is like a toy in front of it!"

"What's even more terrifying is that," the intelligence chief called up a set of data, "according to orbital calculations, if it adjusts its posture, it can theoretically use what appear to be high-energy lasers or kinetic weapons to shoot down all the world's low- and medium-orbit satellites within 90 minutes! The right to control the sky is completely lost!"

The conference room fell into silence instantly.

One of the core elements of modern warfare is the satellite network - navigation, communication, missile guidance, intelligence reconnaissance, all rely on satellites in space. If these satellites are destroyed, the global military system will instantly regress decades.

"Gentlemen, we have just confirmed the destruction of the K-7 base in Siberia."

At this moment, the communications officer at the command center suddenly looked up and said in a hoarse voice, "The entire base was completely wiped out by some kind of high-energy attack. Extremely high temperatures and residual electromagnetic pulses were detected at the scene, but there was no trace of nuclear radiation."

"Not a nuclear weapon?" The Air Force General frowned.

"No." The intelligence chief shook his head. "More like... some kind of directed energy weapon, or--"

"Magic?" someone sneered.

"Whatever it is, it can strike ground targets with pinpoint accuracy from space in a matter of minutes, which means all of our military facilities, even the White House, are within its strike range."

The minister said in a deep voice, "The president has ordered all strategic nuclear forces to enter a state of alert. The X-37B space plane has been launched for surveillance, but..." He paused, his eyes gloomy:

"But we are not sure whether it can actually be intercepted."

"What about negotiation?" someone suggested.

"Negotiations are premised on the two sides being equal in strength." The intelligence chief smiled bitterly, "But right now, we don't even have bargaining chips."

"How much time do we have?" someone else asked.

"Not sure." The technical officer shook his head, "But based on the confirmed mobility, it can launch an attack at any time."

……

CNN headquarters building in New York.

In the studio, host Anderson Cooper faced the camera with a serious expression. On the big screen behind him was written "Breaking News! Many countries around the world have detected unidentified space objects, which are suspected to have super military capabilities!" "——This is a CNN special report."

The host looked solemn. "Just half an hour ago, several observatories around the world observed an unusual 'space explosion'. Then, several missiles were launched from Siberia, aiming directly at an unknown object in low-Earth orbit."

The screen switched to a satellite image, and on the blurred track, a stream of red-gold light streaked through the darkness.

"At present, governments have not made an official statement on this matter, but speculation on the Internet has been overwhelming - some people think this is a secret military test, while others suspect it is the first exposure of 'alien technology'."

The scene cuts to a street interview.

Times Square, Manhattan.

CNN reporter Lisa Coleman, holding a microphone, stopped a suited office worker.

"Sir, what do you think of the 'mysterious missile interception' incident in space today?"

"What? Missiles? Aliens invading?"

The man looked confused, then took out his phone and frantically refreshed the news, "Oh my God, I just got out of the subway, the signal is intermittent... What's going on?"

Lisa turned to another young man wearing an "Aliens Presence" T-shirt.

"Hey! Do you believe that's alien technology?"

The young man waved his arms excitedly. "Absolutely! The government has been hiding this for decades, but now it can no longer hide it! Look at that light - it can even turn a corner!"

In the next shot, a young woman is holding a coffee cup, looking nervous: "This is terrible... If it is really a missile, does it mean war?"

Cut to a college student in a baseball cap: "This is crazy! How much is the government hiding?!" His eyes widened and his voice trembled, "They keep saying 'there are no aliens', and now someone has built a fortress in space?!"

An old man holding a "NO MORE WAR" sign shouted angrily into the microphone: "This is another provocation by the military! They want to start a war, and ordinary people don't even know what's going on! We need the truth!"

Cut to an astrophysicist.

"Based on the analysis of the energy release pattern, this is definitely not a known human technology." He said seriously, "If this is a secret project of a certain country, then the international arms balance will be completely overturned."

Then, Lisa stopped an Asian-looking girl—she was wearing headphones and looking down at her phone.

"Excuse me! What do you think about today's hot news?"

The girl raised her head, revealing a pair of light golden pupils.

“What do you think?” She smiled. “Maybe it’s a supernatural event? I think this kind of situation will become more and more common in the future.”

Finally, the picture freezes at a press conference of the European Space Agency.

"We have not yet confirmed the origin of the object," the spokesperson said carefully, "but what we can be sure of is that its orbit is stable and... does not appear to be hostile."

Lisa took a deep breath and faced the camera:
"Dear audience, what we are facing could be a global military crisis, or it could be... a new chapter in human history."

"This is CNN, we're here to keep you posted."

……

Just as the global media was caught up in frenzy of speculation——

"Zizi-"

All television, radio and live webcast signals were suddenly interrupted.

The giant screen in New York's Times Square, the advertising screen in London's Piccadilly Circus, the LED wall on the Bund in Shanghai...all electronic display screens around the world were forcibly taken over at the same second.

The picture flickered, then stabilized.

A young woman's face appeared on the screen - black hair like ink, calm eyes, behind her was a transparent black ice porthole, outside the window was the dark universe and the blue arc of the earth.

"Good afternoon, fellow citizens of Earth." Her voice was calm and clear, and through some technological means, everyone could understand her words regardless of language or time zone - like some kind of direct transmission from the spiritual level, and pay full attention:
"I am Shi Yiguang, representing the Kunlun Group and the Qingxiao No. 1 Space Research Station to issue an official announcement to the world."

The screen switches to show a holographic model of the space station.

"First of all, we are not an alien force, and we have no intention of being hostile to any country. This space station is a purely scientific facility designed to explore higher levels of energy and space technology."

The camera zoomed in, and the runes on the base of the formation were flowing.

"We have noticed that some countries have become unnecessarily wary of us. Let me solemnly declare that we will not take the initiative to attack any target, but any unauthorized military action will be regarded as a hostile act and will be responded to in the same way."

She raised her hand and the screen switched to a live video of the missile interception and the ruins of the K-7 base:
"Today's attack was planned by the dragon forces lurking in human society, but as you can see, we have sufficient defensive capabilities. Today's interception and counterattack were just self-defense."

"Dragon clan?!" The young man at the busy intersection widened his eyes and almost fell off his bicycle.

"What the hell? A science fiction movie?" Wall Street traders sneered.

"That sister is so beautiful!" A JK girl raised her phone to take a photo, "Mom said that beautiful sisters would not lie!"

"We come from a field that you have yet to understand, but our goal is to explore and cooperate, and we hope that humans can work together towards a broader future."

Shi Yiguang paused, his voice seemed to penetrate all language barriers, and the picture was frozen on the panoramic view of the earth: "Therefore, we officially declare--"

"Kunlun Group's Space Research Station is now open to global cooperation applications!"

"We welcome scientific research institutions, enterprises, and individuals from all countries to apply for visits and participate in cross-dimensional technology development, new energy research, and -" She smiled calmly: "Another World Exploration Plan."

The global audience was shocked.

"Different world?!"

"What is she talking about?!"

"This is not science fiction, but reality." Shi Yiguang raised his hand slightly, and a stream of data emerged in the air:

"From now on, Kunlun Group officially launches the 'Cross-Border Exploration Plan', recruiting researchers, engineers, and explorers from all over the world to participate in the development of other worlds. We have a stable cross-dimensional channel and can provide energy, materials, and biotechnology that far exceed the current level on Earth."

"Registration will be open in 24 hours. For details, please visit——"

(A string of encrypted URLs appears on the screen)

“Humanity has never been so alone, and the universe has never been so close.”

Finally, she gave a gentle smile.

"Thank you."

——The live broadcast ends.

The picture gradually fades out and the global communication system returns to normal.

……

CNN reporter Lisa Coleman appears in front of the camera again, with a noisy crowd in the background.

"Dear audience, just now, all electronic screens around the world were forcibly taken over. A woman who called herself 'Shi Yiguang' announced the space station plan of 'Kunlun Group'!" She said in a hurried voice, "Now, let's hear the public's reaction!"

She stopped a middle-aged man wearing glasses and said, "Sir, you just saw the global live broadcast. Do you believe what she said?"

"Believe it? Ha!" The man pushed up his glasses and said sarcastically, "This is obviously some kind of national-level hacker attack, or a Hollywood-level special effects scam! 'Dragon Tribe'? 'Space Research Station'? Come on, this is not Star Wars!"

Lisa turned to a young girl and asked, "What about you? Do you think this is true?"

The girl bit her lip, her eyes flickering: "I don't know... but if what she said is true, then... are we really not the only intelligent life in the universe?"

A young boy carrying a bag next to him interrupted: "Who cares if it's true or not! I just want to know if the space station is hiring? I want to go up and take a look! It's so cool!"

"How much has the government concealed?!" the college student yelled, rushing towards the police on the street, "You already knew it, right?!"

The police looked at each other, obviously equally confused.

Meanwhile, at BBC London headquarters.

"——Experts analyzed that this incident may involve unprecedented network intrusion technology." The host said seriously, "The British government has held an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss countermeasures."

The scene switches to outside 10 Downing Street, where a reporter is interviewing a government spokesman.

"At present, we are unable to confirm the true nature of the 'Kunlun Group', but we have started close intelligence sharing with our allies."

……

North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), Colorado.

"Sir, the X-37B has arrived in surveillance orbit, and the laser targeting system is ready."

"Where's the firing permit?"

“The president has not approved it yet.”

The commander stared at the real-time image of "Qingxiao No. 1" on the screen with his fists clenched.

"If we don't act now..." he gritted his teeth, "we may not have a chance in the future."

"But if we fail," the lieutenant whispered, "she will literally shoot down all the satellites."

silence.

……

Arctic Ocean, YAMAL icebreaker.

Vincent stood on the deck, the cold wind blowing on his old face. He looked down at the satellite phone in his hand, and the call that had just been hung up made his heart beat faster.

"The Medical Association has decided to give up the fight." The voice on the other end of the line was icy, "But the 'goods' must be delivered."

He looked toward the ice field in the distance, where the outline of a submarine was slowly emerging from the water.

"A new chess piece...is about to enter the game."

……

Ange put down the satellite phone and looked out the window at the night sky.

"What a generous move..." he muttered to himself.

In the bell tower of the Kassel campus, Vice President Flamel was not surprised when he received the news. He crossed his legs and took a sip of whiskey: "So, which side do we stand on?"

Ange smiled slightly: "Of course I stand on the winning side."

"The emergency meeting of the school board will begin in ten minutes." EVA reminded from the side, "They want you to explain why Cassel didn't warn you in advance."

Ange shook his head.

"Because..." he whispered to himself, "Even I didn't expect them to do such a big thing."

……

At the same time, Shi Yi Guang stood outside the space magic circle, feeling the deep vacuum environment, while his eyes looked down at the light spots that appeared one after another on the earth - those were the radars of the military of various countries scanning frantically, and millions of eyes looking up at the starry sky.

Zhao Qing's sword suddenly lit up behind her and landed on a huge petal. In his hand, he held the refined dragon crystal and the strange black egg he had discovered earlier.

"Next, for safety reasons, you will practice here and get familiar with the control of the formation. By the way, you can promote the 'relic restoration' plan. I will go back and study this thing carefully."

From the perspective of level, the Black King's Egg, even if it is in a dead state and is most likely not unique, is no less than the Dragon King's core. It is obvious that it hides an extremely shocking secret, so much so that she can explore the mysterious possibilities of a higher realm.

"No problem." Shi Yiguang smiled and casually opened the global recruitment interface. He was a little surprised to find that there were already 273 million resumes waiting to be screened. "It seems that our 'recruitment advertisement' is quite effective. When the specific details are announced, I wonder how many people will be willing to go?"

Zhao Qing looked towards the earth with deep eyes:
"I hope they... won't let you and me down."
