Chapter 508: Chapter 85 Global Public Enemy Chapter 508: Chapter 85 Global Public Enemy “Is there really news worse than the complete crash of the Starlink Satellite worth tens of billions of dollars?”
Mr.
Jask never dared to believe.
He saw the Starlink incident as the worst possible scenario there was.@@@@
Over 20,000 satellites!
A project worth tens of billions of US dollars!
His dreams and hard work!
If it were not for using it as bait to lure Kevin Walker, setting a trap on purpose to disrupt his historical cycle...
...
Mr.
Jask would never willingly destroy his Starlink System, which he cherished like his own child.
What’s most regrettable,
Is that he did not even witness that unprecedented meteor shower of Starlink satellites, a spectacle unseen by predecessors or to be replicated by any successors in human history!
Right now, it’s daytime in Mi Country, under the blazing sun.
The meteor shower occurred on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, during dawn or night, effectively making him pay tens of billions to treat the half of the world experiencing nighttime to a meteor shower.
Then he did not even get to see it,
Kept his contributions hidden,
And took the blame, earning an ill reputation: “Jask’s technology fails, and his Starlink is constantly breached.”
However,
As long as he disrupted Kevin Walker’s historical cycle and steered history toward the direction he corrected, it was all worth it.
It came at a great cost to him, but he also reaped significant benefits.
And yet...
His secretary claimed that wasn’t the worst news.
This inevitably made him take the matter seriously.
“Go ahead.”
Mr.
Jask closed his eyes:
“I am mentally prepared...
you’re not going to tell me it’s about an illegitimate child of mine showing up, are you?”
“Are you the drama king here?”
His secretary gave him a sideways glance with annoyance:
All of this was Kevin Walker’s doing; how does it relate to me, Jask?
I caught that hijacked X-37B Spaceplane coming down from the sky, with good intentions.
I should be a hero, and the Mi Country government should be awarding me a medal instead, why are they being ungrateful?”
The secretary smiled.
Adjusted her red-framed glasses:
“Obviously, Mr.
Jask, your actions were too extreme.
Regarding that hijacked Spaceplane, leaving aside whether it could have hit the Earth, and whether NASA could ultimately regain control...
even if it did crash, it would have fallen into the Atlantic Ocean.
The X-37B has very thick heat-shielding tiles and, despite many malfunctions that could arise, it would be better than your direct destruction, right?”
“Even if someone truly had to intercept it, it shouldn’t have been you.
You don’t have that privilege.
In Hollywood movies, anyone can be a hero.
But that’s just in the movies.
In the real world, you also need qualifications to be a hero.”
“What’s more worrisome is...
your Starship Rocket was clearly equipped with a navigation locking system that the rocket doesn’t need.
That’s very interesting and worth talking about.
What you’re facing is not just the accusations of the Mi Country government, but also international organizations, including the United Nations, who are very concerned about the ‘intercontinental missile’ you have on your hands.”
“Yes, don’t give me that look; they are referring to your rocket in exactly those terms.
You should be receiving an official summons soon to explain, clarify, and resolve the issue.”
“What if I can’t resolve the issue?” Mr.
Jask asked.
“Then they’ll resolve you.” The secretary replied.
Mr.
Jask laughed:
“My almighty secretary, what should I do now?
You don’t want to be unemployed, right?”
“With my high qualifications, I can get by anywhere.
Besides...
other places don’t require me to wear high heels every day, running around a tower with no elevator, looking for a boss who never carries a cell phone.”
