Incredible Insight: Toy Factory Discovers Swarm Drones

Chapter 260 Juntian! The fewer the words, the bigger the trouble!As that leader’s steady words fell.

Shortly after, the staff members who had long been on standby pressed a certain confirmation key.

A command, sent via encrypted communication, instantly pierced through the atmosphere and reached the satellite constellation in low Earth orbit.

Deactivate stealth!

At the same time.

Another command was quickly issued to the national propaganda department.

It was just a short sentence:

”Announce this good news to the entire country!”

...

That evening.

Seven o’clock sharp.

This was the immovable time for the Eastern Country’s ”Xinwen Lianbo.”

In front of televisions in thousands of households, families eating dinner or young people accompanying their grandparents all habitually listened to that familiar opening.

After reporting a series of routine domestic and international events, as well as the news about the Representative of the Eastern Country ”fighting hard but unfortunately losing” at the United Nations meeting.

The host, who had been looking down organizing his manuscript, suddenly looked up.

His expression became unprecedentedly solemn, yet there was an irrepressible joy in the corners of his eyes and brows.

He looked at the camera and announced in a steady, powerful, and even slightly impassioned voice:

”The following is a news report.”

...

Wang Haipeng was a corporate drone working as a programmer at a major internet company.

On this day, having just finished a dull day of work, he dragged his exhausted body back to his rented room.

He ordered a portion of braised chicken with rice and was shoveling food into his mouth while watching ”Xinwen Lianbo” on TV to pass the time.

He was actually a bit distracted.

Because of the Ugly Country seizing orbits over the past two days, he had spent three hundred rounds arguing with foreign devils online. He had been so angry his liver hurt, and he still felt a suffocating pressure in his chest.

When he heard the host say ”The following is a news report,” he didn’t pay much attention, thinking it was just another harvest somewhere or the completion of some engineering project.

”Completely independently developed by our country...”

Wang Haipeng chewed a piece of chicken, thinking: Hmm, independent development is good.

”Low-orbit satellite internet system...”

Wang Haipeng’s movements slowed down, and his chewing pace slackened.

Huh? Why does that sound familiar? Isn’t that the Starlink that’s been causing such a stir lately?

”Juntian Starlink...”

Wang Haipeng’s jaw stopped moving.

”...has recently completed full deployment and successfully entered operation.”

When the words ”entered operation” entered his ears.

Wang Haipeng froze completely.

With the piece of chicken still in his mouth, he forgot to chew and forgot to swallow.

A few seconds later.

His eyes snapped wide open, his pupils contracting violently as if he had seen a ghost.

*Clatter.*

The chopsticks in his hand slipped and hit the floor with a sharp sound.

But he didn’t react at all.

He was utterly dumbfounded.

”Wha... what the hell?”

”Re... recently completed full deployment?”

”Entered operation?!”

Wang Haipeng felt as if his head had been struck by a Big Hammer, and his brain was buzzing.

This is freaking Starlink!

It’s not building a road or a bridge, and it’s not constructing a building!

This involves launching satellites!

Weren’t people just crying about how miserable it was online two days ago? Weren’t they saying we started late, were being choked by the Ugly Country, and had our orbits stolen?

How did it suddenly become ”deployment completed” in the blink of an eye today?

And even ”entered operation”?

This was like crying about being too poor to buy a house yesterday, only for someone to tell you today that your dad is actually a billionaire and has already bought the entire neighborhood’s buildings and put them in your name.

This is too surreal!

Besides, wait, weren’t we just having a war of words with the Ugly Country devils at the UN to block their proposal? How is it that now...

Meanwhile, on the televisions of thousands of households.

”The low-orbit satellite internet system completely independently developed by our country—[Juntian Starlink]—has recently completed full deployment and successfully entered operation.”

Just one short sentence.

No excessive embellishment, no long-winded buildup.

It just struck the national audience abruptly and directly.

This Juntian Starlink was, naturally, Li Jiajun’s ten thousand-plus satellites.

Previously, that kid Li Jiajun had been so busy making ”sky rockets” and figuring out how to pit the Curry people that he hadn’t given his Starlink satellites a name.

The name ”Juntian Starlink” was personally given by a retired, highly respected old leader.

”Juntian” was taken from the residence of the Central Heavenly Emperor in ancient mythology, symbolizing the authority to rule over the heavens.

That meaning was truly domineering.

But that wasn’t even the most critical part.

The most critical part was that the ”Jun” in Juntian is a homophone for the ”Jun” in Li Jiajun’s name.

This was also a metaphor for Li Jiajun’s contribution.

One could say that with this name, Li Jiajun had a protective talisman.

In the future, no matter how much trouble he caused or what kind of mess he stirred up that forced Liu Jianguo to take quick-acting heart-saving pills, as long as it wasn’t treason, the state wouldn’t do anything to him.

It could be said that from then on, the state’s tolerance for him was maxed out.

After all, the significance of this Starlink was too great.

Setting aside the practical strategic significance and the scientific research significance of breaking the technological blockade.

Just focusing on this instance, it helped the Eastern Country deliver a solid slap to the Ugly Country’s old face in front of the whole world, venting a massive amount of pent-up frustration.

For that alone, the significance was enormous!

Was it too much to give him a protective talisman?

Not at all!

Meanwhile, on Wang Haipeng’s end.

He was still in a daze because of the news he just heard on TV.

But at that moment.

*Buzz— Buzz— Buzz—*

The phone sitting on the table suddenly began to vibrate frantically.

The frequency was so high it felt like it was going to vibrate the table into collapse.

Wang Haipeng tremblingly picked up his phone.

He saw the screen covered in a dense pack of push notifications, flying in like snowflakes.

Every major news app, portal website, and social media platform, as if they had all agreed beforehand, pushed the exact same headline at the same time.

The title was extremely brief, without clickbait or exclamation marks, just a straightforward sentence:

”Our country’s self-developed Starlink satellites have entered operation!”

Wang Haipeng’s fingers trembled as he clicked on one of them.

The content was also a very simple sentence, saying that the entry into operation of our country’s Juntian Starlink marked our aerospace internet technology entering the world’s advanced ranks, and so on—anyway, it was a very official statement.

Looking at this short line of text.

Wang Haipeng felt a wave of numbness in his heart.

”This... the fewer the words, the bigger the event indeed!”

This was the truly big news!

No explanation needed!

No buildup needed!

Just throw the result right in your face!

And it didn’t end there.

Just as Wang Haipeng was so excited he was about to jump up.

*Ding-dong!*

*Ding-dong!*

*Ding-dong!*

SMS notification sounds rang out one after another.

He clicked to open them.

[Dongguo Mobile]: Warm congratulations on the entry into operation of our country’s ’Juntian Starlink’! Whether in high mountains, deep valleys, or the vast sea, your signal will always be online!

[Dongguo Unicom]: To the ends of the earth, connecting you and me! Congratulations on the successful full deployment of ’Juntian Starlink’!

[Dongguo Telecom]: ...

The three major carriers actually sent out celebratory text messages to all users at the same time!

What a display!

What impact!

...

In an instant.

From the bustling office buildings of the Imperial Capital to the subway cars of the Magic City.

From the vast northwestern borders to the gentle water towns of Jiangnan.

From bustling cities to remote rural towns.

Countless Dongguo people scrolling through their phones, watching TV, or playing on computers were completely stunned by this sudden, trump-card-level news.

The keyboard warriors who had been angrily arguing online about ”space terra nullius” had their fingers frozen on their keyboards.

The elderly who had been worrying about the country’s aerospace industry took off their reading glasses and rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

The entire country, at this moment, seemed to have its pause button pressed.

Immediately following.

Was an explosion.

An explosion like a volcanic eruption!

An unbelievable, massive shock and euphoria instantly swept across the 9.6 million square kilometers of land.

”Holy crap!”

”Holy crap!!”

”Holy crap!!!”

Without any elegant vocabulary or flowery rhetoric, these words formed the most beautiful Dongguo phrase.

The sound of ”Holy crap” echoed through the land of China!

This wasn’t just a plot twist.

This was clearly a Deus Ex Machina!

In the morning, we were worried about being choked, and in the afternoon, we’re told that we’ve actually already covered the sky?

This feeling was so freaking awesome!

And the related impact went far beyond domestic borders.
