"Mr. Russell, does Umbrella have the strength to send the fleet into space?" Melissa said in unimaginable way.
It's not just her.
Even the NBC camera crew and the audience watching the live news had facial expressions several times more surprised than Melissa.
space.
fleet.
Wherever these two words are placed, it would not be surprising, but if they are combined together, the nature is different.
"Haha, that's right." William still maintained a calm smile and explained for Melissa and everyone:
"The rocket with the strongest carrying capacity in your country is the Saturn V. It is 100 meters tall and weighs 3,000 tons. It can send a payload of 118 tons into low-Earth orbit. It can be said to be a giant rocket rarely seen in human history.
But sending a 10,000-ton warship into space is a ridiculous joke from the perspective of the United States or any country on earth.
But..."
William did not continue to explain at this point.
Melissa and other NBC camera crews did not ask further questions.
Because ten 'Black Dots' of different sizes appeared in the sky.
These Black Dots are flying towards the science and technology building. As the distance decreases, their true identity is gradually revealed.
Five Paris-class heavy frigate nearly 600 meters long.
A 2.5-kilometer Fire Spirit aircraft carrier.
and four Colony Ship, which are similar to Fire Spirit but much simpler than Fire Spirit.
Throwing away the four Colony Ships with a unit price of less than 10 billion, the other six warships are the prototype of Umbrella Fleet.
"I... oh my god..."
At this time, Melissa could no longer maintain the professional smile that a reporter should have, but opened her mouth indecently and sighed.
An aircraft carrier close to three kilometers.
What is this concept...
Looking at it, it looks like a Sky Fortress, which is ten times larger than the aircraft carrier on the sea. It can only block the clouds and the sun.
The uncles on the camera crew were quite dedicated. Even though they were frightened, they still did not forget to focus other lenses on the fleet in the sky so that the main station could switch the scene.
Of course...
Not only NBC and the viewers watching the news were stunned, but also senior government officials around the world were shocked by this scene.
Some senior generals who had not been infiltrated by the Russell Family were not only shocked but worried about the strength shown by Umbrella.
Umbrella has deceived the whole world. Regardless of any form of prying, they have never heard of plans and technologies for the space fleet.
However, just today, ten "Big Macs" were built directly.
What the generals are worried about is whether Umbrella will rely on <Athabasca Protocol> and implement hegemony to bully the world like a certain country.
These space battleships alone can rewrite any form of war on earth.
Originally the most intimidating Intercontinental Ballistic Missile?
It is useless in front of Umbrella and is no longer useful.
But for those who are interested in the Russell Family, seeing William actually create a space fleet, they are not only extremely happy but also excited.
Russell Family is expected to be revitalized?
It's more than just revitalization.
The current achievements of William and Umbrella seem to have already surpassed that 'Lord Russell' in the eyes of most backstabbers.
.
On the square.
Melissa, who had regained her composure, adjusted her facial expression, raised her hand and pointed at Fire Spirit who was parked directly above them, and asked William next to her:
"Luo...Mr. Russell... Is this the fleet you are talking about?"
"Yes, Miss Silio." William nodded:
"And the aircraft carrier you are pointing to... is a big thing of 40 million tons. With our unique Anti-gravity Technology Engine from Umbrella, it can easily lead us to break away from the constraints of the earth and go to Deep Space Galaxy.
It is also the center around which our current Umbrella fleet revolves.
The other four ships of the same size are Colony Ship that can accommodate more than 10,000 people."
"Colonial... ship?" Melissa showed a puzzled expression again and said, "Mr. Russell, colonial is...?"
"Haha." William said with a slight smile, "The detailed announcement should have been uploaded to my company's official website by my secretary (Serena) by now.
I won't go into details about the specific content. It should be much more convenient for Miss Silio to browse the website when he gets home than what I said."
Speaking of which.
A Pelican painted in light gray with Red and White Umbrella Logo printed on its belly and sides was slowly landing in the square and entering the field of view of the live broadcast camera.
William glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye and smiled at Melissa: "It seems that today's interview time is over. Thank you NBC for the broadcast and interview. I look forward to working with you again."
After saying that, William also smiled at the camera, waved his hand and walked towards the direction of the Pelican.
Then Hunk and Alpha followed.
"Eh... this...?" Melissa watched as a group of men in suits passed by her, directly blocking her desire to continue questioning William.
Fortunately, a department manager wearing a white coat, Mediterranean hair, and square-rimmed glasses walked up to the camera.
He took the initiative to take over the position of William, explained to Melissa the next policy and focus of the Umbrella Space Department, and other useless polite words.
.
Inside the cabin of the Pelican;
William stood at the rear of the cabin with his arms crossed in front of him. The kind smile he had maintained before was long gone, and instead he looked expressionlessly through the porthole at the ground that was gradually moving away.
He has lived in this world for two years, and the first thing he learned was probably the 'smile' that his family is best at.
William invited NBC to conduct a live broadcast. Firstly, it let the world know that Umbrella has epoch-making technology. Secondly, it is better to be secretive than to take the initiative to expose it to gain an advantage.
When he learns that his grandfather has left hidden stakes in the governments of various countries, the obstacles to Voyage to Dawn's launch will be reduced a lot, at least it will not provoke a group of attacks.
William Of course you can use force to 'demonstrate' it, but that will only consume human beings' own vitality and is not advisable.
Colonization Plan is imperative.
The purpose is to allow humans to retain fire when the earth cannot contain Exafanistei-class other anomalies, or at least not perish.
The hidden purpose of Colonization Plan is that William can use this to make Umbrella completely superior to the government in terms of strength and influence.
It's like the Weyland Yutani Company in <Xenos>, except that the current Umbrella is not as crazy as that company, and is persevering in researching immortality and Xenos.
William is to make Containment Operation more convenient, and the more important goal is to unite mankind to face abnormal phenomena together.
As an old Chinese song goes, 'Unity is strength'.
Or maybe it's the legendary ancient Babylon, where humans united to build Tower of Babel, which scared even God.
Thinking of these, William couldn't help but shake his head and sighed in his heart:
'If the world before my time travel could also be united, without smoke and war, maybe the human footprint would have extended beyond Luna.'
