Break out of the courtyard

When Zhang Heping returned to his doorstep, the question Zhang Bei had asked in the lab was asked again by Professor Hua, who was waiting there.

"Elder Yang and the others have a certain understanding of the power of the Divine Spear space-based kinetic energy weapon, but they are still somewhat unclear about the power of the pulse particle accelerator cannon. They hope to test the power of the pulse particle accelerator cannon again."

Old Hua beckoned Zhang Heping to walk under the parasol in front of the door and casually found a chair.

Zhang Heping just replied to his eldest son that he was not considering it for the time being, and then went to busy himself with regenerative brain development without further explanation.

At this time, Hua Lao came to visit, presumably because Zhang Bei relayed the message to the satellite monitoring center, which then relayed it to the capital.

Zhang Heping considered for a moment and said, "During the last test firing, in order to see the damage caused by the space-based weapon as soon as possible, we only fired the pulse particle acceleration cannon once."

"The reason it is only fired once is because the instantaneous thermal effect of the pulse particle acceleration cannon can vaporize the target instantly."

"The rain clouds over the Martian plains are caused by the vaporization of the groundwater in the plains by the pulse particle accelerator."

"If you want to test fire the pulse particle accelerator cannon and see the destructive effects of the firing, choose the mountains on Mars as targets; you'll be able to see the effects more directly."

Old Hua frowned and said, "Didn't we say at the last meeting that shooting at the mountain peaks would easily expose that we were testing new weapons?"

“The sudden loss of a few mountains on Mars would indeed make it easier to be spotted,” Zhang Heping nodded. “If you don’t want to be spotted, you can choose the Grand Canyon on Mars.”

"However, this will generate a lot of fog inside and outside the canyon. We need to wait for the fog to dissipate before sending down probes to check the damage to the bottom of the canyon."

Professor Hua pressed further, "Are there any spare probes on Mars?"

“No!” Zhang Heping said slowly, “This kind of probe needs to be customized, and then sent from Earth to Mars. We can also take some seeds down to try planting them!”

Speaking of seeds, Hua Lao couldn't help but recall the photos he had seen that morning of grass growing on the Martian plains.

“Alright! I’ll video chat with Elder Yang and the others later and discuss it further!” Elder Hua said, standing up.

Zhang Heping stood up and said, "It's not very meaningful for you to test the power of the pulse particle acceleration cannon without choosing a mountain peak as the firing target."

After seeing Mr. Hua off, Zhang Heping had just returned home when his youngest son, Zhang Hao, came over from the sofa and asked when he would take him to Xishuangbanna.

I went to Xishuangbanna for tourism and also planned to inspect the Heping Materials branch factory, but I was delayed because I had too many things to do recently.

Zhang Heping calculated the time in his mind before raising his hand to rub his youngest son Zhang Hao's head. "I'll ask your third sister how many days off she can take later, and then decide when to go to Xishuangbanna."

Zhang Hao, not having heard the exact time, said somewhat reluctantly, "Dad, we all have to go back to school!"

"Don't worry, we'll definitely go to Xishuangbanna before school starts!" Zhang Heping said, then took his youngest son back to the sofa.

Sitting on the large sofa, watching cartoons with her grandson Zhang Bo, Zhang Zhaodi, the second sister, said to Zhang Heping, who had just sat down, "Brother, your brother-in-law and I won't be going to Xishuangbanna. We can't leave work."

"Third Uncle, Luo Yi and I can't go either. A new batch of people have arrived at the institute!" Zhang Yi said to Zhang Heping without looking up from his phone while replying to a message on the sofa.

"It's alright!" Zhang Heping said nonchalantly, "Xiao Bei and Xiao Long probably won't go either!"

Tang Xin left the restaurant and went to the living room. She sat down next to Zhang Heping and said softly, "Xiao Bei doesn't have a girlfriend yet, and Xiao Long, Xiao Hu, Xiao Wan, and Xiao Ting are getting a little estranged. I think we can bring the three of them along."

Zhang Heping put his arm around his first wife Tang Xin's shoulder and said, "The construction scope of the lunar base is going to be expanded. The three of them are leading teams, so they might not agree."

"As for Xiao Wan and Xiao Ting, once school starts in September, we can let them go to the underground base to find Xiao Long and Xiao Hu. There's no need to worry."

"What about Xiao Bei?" Tang Xin leaned on her man's shoulder and asked worriedly, "He'll be 30 next year, but he's never even had a girlfriend."

Zhang Heping thought for a moment, then leaned close to Tang Xin's ear and whispered, "If all else fails, we can arrange a marriage for Xiao Bei and Xiao Nan and see if they object!"

Tang Xin also lowered her voice, "We can try with Xiao Bei, but Xiao Nan probably won't agree!"

Zhang Heping said nonchalantly, "Let's test their reaction first!"

Tang Xin hummed in agreement and began to consider potential daughters-in-law and sons-in-law in her mind.

[Peaceful Spaceflight: A Shocking Fraud! How Could There Be Plants on Mars?]

[The reason mainland China is not open to cooperation in space exploration is solely to create a false report of grass growing on Mars] [Lakes appear on Mars' largest plain, suspected to be caused by mainland China's latest weapon]

[WARNING! Peace Space is conducting secret biological and chemical experiments on Mars]

The Governor of Hong Kong was sitting on a single sofa in the living room, browsing online news on a tablet computer.

A moment later, the blonde female secretary brought in a black-haired man in his fifties wearing glasses.

The blonde secretary approached the sofa and said softly, "Sir, Commissioner of Police Mr. Xu has arrived!"

"Please sit down!" the Governor said without looking up, continuing to watch his news.

Police Chief Xu sat down on the opposite sofa and waited, but his small eyes behind his glasses were quickly scanning the things in the living room.

After the blonde secretary brought coffee to Director Xu, the Governor put down his tablet, picked up the coffee cup from the coffee table, and asked, "What did Miss Zhang Nian say?"

Police Chief Xu straightened his back and said with a serious expression, "Ms. Zhang said that the Martian plants are real and are part of the Mars Mars Base project."

"Is that all you asked?" The Governor took a sip and placed the cup on the coffee table.

Police Chief Xu replied, "Yes, she doesn't know much about the lunar and Mars base plans. She said it's highly classified, and her father doesn't talk about these things at home."

The Governor nodded, pointed to the other person's coffee with his right hand, and then looked at his tablet computer, reading the news.

Police Chief Xu picked up his glass, took a sip, and then stood up, saying, "If you have nothing else to say, I'll take my leave!"

The Governor nodded again, without looking at the departing Commissioner of Police.

After seeing the person out, the blonde secretary returned to the sofa in the living room.

"Sir, what do you think of this intelligence report about Martian plants? Shall we report it back to the country now?" The blonde female secretary leaned down and asked softly.

“No rush!” The Governor of Hong Kong frowned as he looked at the news on the tablet, which was of dubious authenticity. “Wait until new intelligence agents are sent from the mainland before giving this information to them, and then let them report it.”

The blonde secretary paused for a moment upon hearing this, then stepped aside and thought for a long time before vaguely guessing that the Governor of Hong Kong did this because he did not want to continue the investigation in depth, so as not to displease the Zhang family!
About half an hour later, the Governor of Hong Kong got up and stretched his arms, then turned around and said, "Have Mr. Shen make a phone call to Mr. Zhang and tell him that investment institutions from various countries seem to be targeting the Hong Kong dollar and the Hong Kong stock market, and hope that he and the Peace Group will be careful!"

……

Seeing that Zhang Heping was determined to develop space technology and that the military equipment replacement plan was on the agenda, the capital authorities came up with the idea of ​​using the space program to cover up the military equipment replacement.

When elite troops selected from various military regions arrived at the Shenzhen World Advanced Technology Research Institute to prepare for selection and training for the Space Force, a group of military strategy experts moved into the institute's staff apartments.

Subsequently, the World Advanced Technology Research Institute established the "Office of External Liaison and Cooperation".

On the very day Zhang Heping took his family to Xishuangbanna for tourism, the External Liaison and Cooperation Office of the World Advanced Technology Research Institute held a press conference at the Peace Hotel.

The person who presided over the press conference was none other than Vice President Qian, who also serves as the head of the Office of External Liaison and Cooperation.

Many people may not know that, in order to counter the strategic deception of the United States and China, corresponding anti-deception measures have actually been implemented in China.

"The plants growing on the Martian plains were indeed caused by seeds sent by our landing module, but that was a miracle created by a series of accidents!"

Facing a barrage of cameras and microphones, Vice President Qian chuckled as he read aloud the draft prepared for him by the group of military strategy experts.

Why do you say that?

"First, let me talk about the cloud accumulation we observed over the Martian plains on July 8th."

"Please look at the big screen. We have a few guesses about the formation of this dark cloud."

"First, the movement of Martian tectonic blocks tore cracks in the Great Plains; magma overflowed from underground, evaporating groundwater into water vapor, which then formed clouds."

"Why can't we see those cracks? It's probably because the rain clouds encountered a sandstorm, and the falling mud rain covered up the cracks!"

"Secondly, it could be caused by an impact from an ice-bearing meteorite..." (End of Chapter)
