Two big things happened last night!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first was last evening at 9:30 p.m. (Beijing time) when the U.S. stock market opened, it plummeted across the board and triggered the circuit breaker mechanism at 9:57 p.m., marking the second circuit breaker since 1997.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were suffocating 27 minutes, as all stock indices, regardless of industry type, opened to an unprecedented terrifying drop, after all, the stock market itself had already lost its meaning under nuclear warfare, as no investments could possibly yield returns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After trading stopped for 15 minutes, another circuit breaker happened. Although there was no further devastation after the two circuit breakers, they still sent the three major stocks into an unprecedented bear market winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until after midnight that the stock markets began to recover slowly as various countries continuously issued announcements, but after five o’clock, the aerospace sector suddenly rose with an incredible trend. Concept stocks hit the limit up, and half an hour later, Oriental International Space Hotel Company’s stock also hit the limit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the second big event: At 4:34 a.m., New Yuan announced that the \"Determined\" spacecraft would perform a chartered tourism launch mission at 6 a.m. consisting of 9 tycoons and 1 pilot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the announcement followed the usual format, the meaning of releasing it at this time was quite clear, as people suddenly realized that, besides underground shelters, there was a second place where one could avoid warfare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aerospace market now had a completely different significance in people’s hearts; it was the last and most war-remote means, and the ships of private space companies were not just to let you experience a few days of zero gravity, but they could also save your life in a doomsday event!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after the misunderstanding was cleared up, investors set their sights on the already booming aerospace industry, undeterred by the fact that several influential private space companies were not publicly traded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following New Yuan’s announcement, SpaceX also immediately followed, stating they had two Dragon Spaceships actively preparing and could launch within 8 hours, and in the past hour, they had sold 216 ship tickets and received over 2000 inquiries, pushing this trend to its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another, recently reinstated Nevada Mountain Company, also announced they had three Dream Chaser small spacecraft available for use, and they, too, had sold 160 ship tickets and received hundreds of inquiries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the next few days, the three limited global private space companies capable of launching humans into space would be constantly harassed, with various tycoons and elites desperately offering money and even wanting to own a spacecraft themselves. Abe was suddenly being wooed as well, as they also \"owned\" a spacecraft, didn’t they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other big and small domestic and international private space companies also benefited, with countless investors waving cash wanting to invest in manned spacecraft or a spaceplane, leading to an unprecedented boom in the aerospace market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aerospace Development Committee, the military, and Desert Base were all summoned for a meeting to discuss the handling of the \"8·12 Major Emergency Incident.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>C810 had been flying intensively across the country to pick up individuals involved, who were then gathered to face criticism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the test pilot Lei Qing, who could only be commended for \"making decisive actions and saving the aircraft,\" almost everyone else was somewhat responsible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Androff, however, was full of vigor in demanding a thorough investigation of the supply chain; he even took the C810 to the northeast to inspect the aircraft, preliminarily confirming that the issue was a quality problem with the internal components within the wings, which caused the skin to deform and a series of malfunctions, with suppliers from Modu City and Rong City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whereas Dou Ping could only hang his head and remain silent, the blunder he caused was too significant, and its consequences... were evident from the superiors who, despite staying up for over ten hours, still insisted on holding the meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The military’s reaction was quite interesting: on one hand, they were concerned about the lack of capability to handle such emergency incidents, while on the other hand, they took pride in the fact that Xuehu was exclusively theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before re-entering national airspace, Lei Qing did not dare to decrease speed for fear of being shot down; according to the flight computer log, the top speed exceeded Mach 12.1, and he only decelerated and landed after re-entering the country and reducing speed with a parabolic trajectory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining fuel quantity fully demonstrated that the design range of 36,000 kilometers was indeed viable. Just the thought of their own aircraft being able to fly around the world at a speed of over Mach 10 for more than two hours was indescribably thrilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, during the test flight, it also underwent a real-world assessment; existing defense measures were as frail as paper before it—if desired, it could even fly safely over John’s head!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without any offensive capability, merely flying over an enemy nation’s territory was a significant deterrent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The issues with optical non-stealth and sonic boom might even be an advantage, for it couldn’t be hit, right? The problem might rather be visual tracking... but minor defects don’t obscure the virtues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the rest were vigorously pointing fingers at themselves, as long as they had no way of dealing with Xuehu, they dared not truly exert pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if crossing the airspace of three countries this time only resulted in a few tepid protest statements, which could even bring significant benefits in the long run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the recent frustrating issue of nuclear wastewater discharge... It can be certain that their side would absolutely use this as leverage to apply pressure; things that couldn’t be resolved through protest and negotiation now seemed to be not so challenging after all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Aerospace Development Committee being called over, apart from their work being related to this matter, there was also the need to address the Cloud Ascend project, which was expected to have its inaugural flight in early October. Thinking carefully... its impact might not be less than that of Xuehu. Would revealing it stimulate the world even more?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, before the meeting, Big Shot also quietly summoned Academician She and Lin Ju, instructing in a low voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Consider some emergency space refuge plans, come up with a few possible schemes, this is very important.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1307,"2026-06-05T18:20:54.444Z",1,"novelbin.me","dfeaf3c3b4bd453365189fc0467bb168edfa310a0980ba55a86c2b0821390edc","you-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-chapter-496","you-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-chapter-494",804,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fyou-were-told-to-build-a-tractor-but-you-re-buil-cover.jpg"]
