The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

"No way... the satellite is gone, how can we repair it now? Are you kidding me?"

"This is really outrageous. We are just in charge of communications. Do you want us to repair satellites now? We don't even know where our satellites are!"

"Never mind. Didn't Baipu say that experts from the Ministry of Space would be coming over? Let them handle the professional matters. Once they have fixed the satellite, we can then deal with the communication issue."

The technicians complained. This was definitely not an irresponsible idea, but the task was too outrageous. They also wanted to contribute to the country and do what they could.

However, Baipu and others did not respect the research department at all, and directly asked the people from the Aerospace Research Institute to work with them to solve the problem of satellite network signals.

Communications cannot be used because there is no network signal. The most fundamental solution is to let people in the aerospace field conduct research instead of putting pressure on them.

Even if there are satellites that can be launched directly, what does it matter? Can we still rely on those who are engaged in communications to do this? It is really outrageous!
When the aerospace field is not their expertise, the conclusion they reached with great difficulty was casually denied as "carelessness". How can this not be disheartening?
It would be fine for departments to talk about it internally, but President Baip and Minister Tim cannot be so casual. Even if they really think so in their hearts, they have to give some recognition to the work of the technical staff on the surface.

"Our conclusion is not based on conjecture, but on facts based on all the evidence. Anyone who studies it will come to the same conclusion. If you have any doubts, you can check it out yourself!" The director of the technical department said angrily. He knew that it was useless to talk to these outsiders. They could always find ten thousand reasons to refuse to believe. Even if the facts were right in front of them, they might bring up other things to change the subject.

He has been very polite. He has said so much. If you don't believe me, just forget it.

"Then... let's see the satellite images first." President Baip said hesitantly. Although he didn't understand, he had to give an explanation at this time, so he tried to smooth things over and give the ministers a way out.

The director of the technical department sighed helplessly, turned around and signaled his subordinates to take the leaders to check the field of view of the telescope and popularize relevant knowledge on the spot. The technicians naturally did not dare to be careless in front of these big shots, and their attitude was extremely respectful. They explained every detail in detail several times, fearing that they would not understand.

In fact, at this point, it would be a bit too much to say that they didn't understand. They didn't really not understand, sometimes they just had the habit of finding faults. However, the ministers were still very pleased with the respectful attitude of the technicians, and they listened to the explanation seriously after they had saved their face.

The technical director naturally wouldn't look at them well. They were all on the same level and there were some minor frictions. He himself might not realize that his blunt tone during explanations could easily offend people.

"Oh, so all the satellites are gone, so naturally there is no network signal. I understand!" Everyone suddenly realized. It's not that they don't understand these things. After the technicians explained in detail, they all said they understood.

To be precise, they were only willing to believe this explanation now, but they were still a little skeptical and not completely sure. In fact, the director of the technical department himself was not sure either. After all, there was limited evidence and not much equipment available, so he really couldn't be 100% sure of anything. He just provided some possible guesses.

But one thing is clear: hundreds of US satellites have indeed disappeared from the orbits they were supposed to be operating in.

"Why don't we expand the scope and check the nearby areas. If the satellites deviate from their orbits, we can pull them back." An elderly minister suddenly suggested. He was about to retire, and his thinking was typical of the older generation. He gave orders and instructions as if this matter was simple.

The director of the technical department almost couldn't hold back his curse. He rolled his eyes, but this was not the right occasion to get angry. The person who was speaking was an elder, and there was no point in arguing with someone who was about to retire.

"We have already checked the surroundings. Do we have to check the entire solar system and the Milky Way? Is that possible? Who has the technology to do that now?" He said unhappily. "Besides, this is just an astronomical telescope. The observation range is limited. The images it can present are just this."

"Some things cannot be done as you wish. The current technical conditions and various restrictions can only achieve this. It is obviously unrealistic to want to achieve it in one step!" After the director of the technical department said this, there was silence at the scene, and even the air seemed to freeze. The old director who had just spoken was embarrassed.

"You..." He just said it casually, but he didn't expect to be criticized so badly. He was so angry that he wanted to leave the table on the spot, but was stopped.

"Wait, what is this?" Suddenly, a technician screamed and covered his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.

Somewhere in the universe, a black object swallowed a meteorite without any warning, and this scene was captured and photographed by the equipment.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it again, which also eased some of the embarrassment. Otherwise, with the old minister's temper, he might really make a scene before he gave up. You know, this is a special period, and if he really makes a scene, things will only get more complicated, which is a situation that no one wants to see.

The Minister of Technology did not want to start a dispute, but he really did not mean to do so. He could have refused the mission and waited for the satellite researchers to come. It was just that the situation was special and President Baip and others were eager to get a conclusion.

However, the technicians' discovery prevented the situation from developing further.

"Is this a black hole?" When it comes to black matter in the universe, the first thing that comes to mind is a black hole. From various photos taken, it can be seen that it is obviously a large mass of black, and many people may not know what it is.

"It looks like a black hole, but it's not exactly a black hole. The size, properties, speed, and time and location of its appearance are all wrong. To be precise, it should be something similar to a black hole, but much smaller in scale than a black hole." The director of the technical department explained slowly. He also listed some formulas to explain the difference between a black hole and something similar to a black hole, but no one cared about the process, everyone just wanted to know the result.

"What is this black hole-like thing? Could it have swallowed up all our satellites?" Minister Tim asked doubtfully. He didn't know what a black hole was, and it was the first time he had heard of the concept of a black hole. He just wanted to know if this thing swallowed up the US satellites.

"If it is really a black hole, no one knows where the things it swallowed went. Scientists speculate that it may appear in another part of the universe, but some people think it disappeared completely." The director of the technical department explained in a serious manner. But this is almost the same as saying nothing, because he is not sure about the whereabouts of the satellite. To be precise, no one in the world can be sure where the things swallowed by the black hole will appear.

"But this isn't a black hole, is it? The disappearance of the satellite must be related to this black hole-like thing, right?" Baip asked. They just needed a definite conclusion and a follow-up solution, and did not notice the helplessness in the tone of the technical director.

In fact, whether it is a black hole or something similar to a black hole, it is uncertain. At present, scientists have only proposed a few theories and have not really studied black holes.

After all, no one has ever actually passed through a black hole, and most researchers have never even come into contact with one, let alone astronauts. This great limitation makes it difficult for them to delve into the nature of black holes.

The inability to conduct experiments and the limited experimental opportunities meant that their theory could only remain at the speculative stage, providing a possibility but unable to determine what a black hole really is.

"I can only say that there is such a possibility, but it is not certain. No scientist is sure about black holes, and the same is true for similar black holes. Most people are still only in the stage of understanding, and the current technical means are not enough to study it in depth." The director of the technical department said helplessly. He understood that the other party wanted to hear a clear conclusion of "yes or no", but he could not give it. From a rigorous scientific attitude, it can only be like this. Without solid evidence, only speculative conclusions can be given. He could not say anything definite, and even if he said it against his conscience, it might be overturned in the future.

More importantly, there was no need for him to lie at this time. Even if all the researchers and scientists on Earth were summoned, the answers they would give would only be ambiguous.

No one would rashly draw a definite conclusion without solid evidence. Doing so would only prove that the person's academic level is limited, and there is only one possibility in his mind, and there is nothing else he can say.

In fact, the technical director can now list a dozen possible speculations, but what's the use? Talking about these speculations with laymen is just a waste of time.

Some things are difficult to explain in depth, and they cannot understand the complicated theoretical formulas.

Baipu's expression was not very good. After hearing this, he finally understood that the technical department was playing Tai Chi. No matter what they asked, they only gave possibilities but were not sure.

If we really talk about possibilities, he can guess more conclusions. As long as you have a wild imagination, anything is possible. Just now he mentioned satellites colliding with each other, and now he said it was similar to a black hole.

Bai Pu couldn't help but suspect that these might be just excuses made by the technical department. They took advantage of the fact that only a few people present understood these things and made up excuses at will.

Just when he was about to lose his temper, an accident happened again.

The director of the technical department has just studied the equipment carefully. He set the coordinate parameters to a black hole-like area. With this setting, he discovered something unexpected - a super satellite.

The reason why it is called a super satellite is not just because it has a "super" in its name. It was independently developed and launched by an arms dealer in Kyushu, and its origin is destined to be extraordinary. After it was launched, countries with satellites around the world have been closely following the developments of the "super satellite".

Many people are studying its specific functions and hidden properties. After all, it was developed by a Kyushu arms dealer who successfully developed a super-popular weapon. Compared with ordinary satellites, its specialness can be seen from its structure alone.

The structure and detailed connections of the super-satellite are obviously much more complicated than those of ordinary satellites, and scientists are even more curious about the magical belt-like structure around it.

However, after observing for many days, they found that the super satellite was not as "powerful" as they had imagined. It had been running in its established orbit without any special performance.

After following the trend for a while, people gradually lost interest and stopped paying attention to it all the time. After all, no matter how you look at it, the super satellite is just a little special in appearance.

Yes, how can the power of one person be compared with the R&D department of an entire country? It is most likely just an ordinary satellite. When everyone thinks like this, they subconsciously no longer have interest in super satellites, thinking that arms dealers just like to name them like this.

"This is a super satellite, and a black hole seems to belong to a super satellite. You see, the rhythm of the two objects moving is consistent, and they always remain within a certain range." The director of the technical department called up the screen and asked everyone to watch.

The dynamic video footage clearly shows that no matter how it moves, the direction and speed of the super-satellite and the black hole-like objects are consistent.

This can be explained if they are in the same orbit, because objects in a specific orbit will naturally maintain relative speed, otherwise they will collide.

But the problem is that, judging from what has been filmed, super satellites and similar black holes have crossed multiple orbits. This is the most terrifying part, both of them seem to be not restricted by orbits and can achieve random jumps.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that it is obvious to everyone that there is definitely some connection between black holes and super-satellites.

"The relationship between super satellites and black holes, and whether it was black holes that caused all the satellites of the United States to disappear, this question may only be known by the arms dealers of Kyushu."

"I don't understand. Does this arms dealer have a grudge against the United States? Currently, only all the satellites of the United States have disappeared. Satellites of other countries don't seem to be affected." The director of the technical department said carefully. He didn't know the twists and turns of the story. He was just a little curious and didn't understand.

Logically speaking, an arms dealer should not target a country, especially a powerful country like the United States. You know, the United States is definitely one of the countries that needs arms the most, and the two sides should be the most suitable partners.

"How ridiculous! I was wondering how a satellite could disappear for no reason! It turns out the problem is still in that sea area! Damn arms dealers!" Baip was so angry that he cursed. He did not doubt the words of the technical director at all, and he hesitated a lot about the original conclusion, but when it came to the arms dealers, he believed it directly.

It has to be said that in this world, if anyone has the ability to develop new weapons to devour all of the U.S. satellites, the first person Baip would suspect is the arms dealer from Kyushu.

After all, the various weapons, fighter jets, and warships it developed are well-known internationally. Moreover, these things have never existed before, or they are very innovative. This is enough to prove that the arms dealer's scientific research capabilities are very strong.

The attitude of arms dealers towards the United States is really terrible, and can even be described as "disgusted". Bai Pu has never been able to understand and is unable to let it go.

The relevant departments of the United States had contacted the arms dealers of Kyushu on the dark web in private a long time ago, trying to establish cooperation with them. The chips they offered were also very high, so high that they thought that the arms dealers would not refuse as long as they were not crazy.

Why would they refuse the endless orders and wealth as long as they didn't have to fight for the money? However, once the US exposed its official identity, the other party instantly lost interest in cooperating. The original contact said that this was to increase the advantage and let the arms dealer know that they were negotiating cooperation with the US government...

But the arms dealer didn't play by the rules at all. His attitude changed suddenly. When questioned, he only replied with one word: "Get lost!"

The person in charge of contacting him initially thought there might be some misunderstanding, and kept sending messages with an extremely sincere attitude. However, not long after the message was sent, he found that he had been blocked, and the other party obviously had no intention of cooperating. (End of this chapter)
