Chapter 301 Questioning
"I reported to you at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida that the Falcon 9 rocket, the branch company, was launched at 8:12 am this morning with a space probe, but after just forty seconds of launch, the rocket exploded in the air and the wreckage fell on the base shore and the Atlantic Ocean."
A full-time reporter from the Associated Press's Kennedy Aviation Center spoke at a very fast speed at the camera with a microphone. On the left, the explosion scenes were constantly replaying.
"My God, my God, I can't believe it, I'm really frightened..."
The black woman covered her fat breasts in horror, "That was not an ordinary accident. I saw it, and many people saw it. There was light flashing in the sky, and then the rocket exploded."
"Madam, OK, do you mean this is not an ordinary explosion?" The reporter put the microphone to the mouth of the black woman, keenly capturing any big news of possibility.
"Yes, it can't be an ordinary accident. I said, 'Hehe, did you see it? What is that? Oh, that is definitely not an ordinary thing, that is definitely not an ordinary thing, we are not blind. This is an attack, a man-made attack, my god, this is not an ordinary accident at all, you smell it, oh, the air and the smell of burnt burgers, um, um, um, um, if it is a normal accident, it should be the smell of bacon, this is abnormal, abnormal, absolutely not normal..."
"Okay, OK, ma'am, thank you for the interview."
Forcefully snatched the microphone from the black woman, and the reporter said to the camera: "Everyone can see that since the accident, similar remarks have occupied all the headlines of the news. If it were just an ordinary accident, I am sure that even on Wall Street, Naked Ben would be much more valuable than this news."
"Is this an ordinary accident or a terrorist attack? Next we turn the camera to the official press conference of Nasa."
At a press conference filled with journalists from major news media, on the stage with the Nasa logo printed on it, the official spokesperson of Nasa is constantly answering reporters' questions.
Such spacecraft accidents are not uncommon in the history of American spacecraft. If there are too many incidents, they are not very news. But this time it is different.
Almost all media are asking two questions.
One is why launching a launch vehicle in advance?
The second one is what weapon is attacking the launch vehicle? Is this a terrorist attack?
There were even keen reporters who noticed the difference in the launch pad.
After every tricky question is asked from the reporters, the official spokesperson must think carefully. If it is not found in the Taiwanese book, it must answer that it is still under investigation. Please wait for the investigation results.
"Everyone, this is not a Sunday that everyone wants. There have been many accidents in the development of space flight, but we have never lost confidence in space flight. Nasa has prepared for this. We will conduct multiple investigations on the causes of the accident. Please wait patiently for the results..."
"Wait, you haven't answered whether we were attacking..."
Faced with the questioning of reporters from major media, the spokesperson did not answer, but went directly to the stage.
It was also because a few tourists who happened to shoot videos in front of the sky, they just took the laser light, which almost ran across the entire sky and hit the launch vehicle in the air, and then caused a violent explosion to shock the owner of the shooting.
These videos were immediately uploaded to social media and major online platforms, and immediately became the most lively headline news of the day.
However, obviously, the strange behavior of Nasa and the government and even the chief operating officer has caused speculation. The government has neither stated whether this was a terrorist attack nor said it was the cause of the failure. It is just saying that it is still asking Nasa to investigate it.
But even fools can see that the launch vehicle was definitely not an explosion caused by a failure, but was obviously shot down by man.
As a result, things are much more serious. Since 2016, terrorist attacks have occurred many times in Europe, which has long made people in civilized society feel wary and worried. If this time was really a terrorist attack caused by extremist organizations, does it mean that the 9/11 incident may happen again?

“Huhu…”
The h-47 Chinook transport helicopter slowly landed on the ground. Before the propeller could stop completely, Max, wearing a field suit, walked down.
He was accompanied by the Department of Homeland Security and NSA personnel, as well as possible cooperative personnel sent by IA.
Since the launch vehicle explosion accident yesterday morning, the Kennedy Air Center has been completely blocked and all tourists have been dismissed, and naturally there will be no new tourists here.
As soon as he got off the cabin of the transport plane, Brass, a technical official from the Department of Homeland Security, was shocked and glanced around. More than ten hours ago, it was still a piece of grass and the scene after the explosion, but at this moment, it was completely covered by a temporary white plastic shed. The surroundings were full of officers, and fully armed soldiers stared at everyone passing by.
Helicopters landed from time to time in the sky, and Hummers and armored vehicles carrying machine guns were parked around the surrounding area, and the alert level has been increased to the highest level.
"Okay, I don't know what methods you have used, but this matter should be handled by our military."
As he walked, Max's dissatisfied saliva was almost spraying on Brass' face.
"This is not a separate matter for your military... We have reason to suspect that this is a premeditated terrorist attack that endangers homeland security and should be within the jurisdiction of our department."
Brass retorted without hesitation.
"What a legitimate reason."
Max stopped, turned around and stared at Brass condescendingly: "But this time we died, can you imagine that? More than a hundred people died here, not even the ashes were left, and they didn't even fight back!"
"I'm sorry, but this is my duty, Colonel, you know I have no choice."
"I'm just telling you that we should not let go of our handling of this matter, you should cooperate with us."
"You need to explain to my superiors."
Brass ignored Max's vicious eyes and walked away from the built plastic shed under the salute of the soldiers.
Almost almost in a plastic shed the size of a football field, a large pit with a diameter of almost 30 meters first rushed into Brass' eyes, making him feel a little breathing at this moment even though he looked at the photos.
"It's almost as powerful as the Tomahawk missile..."
Max followed in, his strong eyes swept the messy battlefield, and only looked at the losses on the scene, he roughly estimated the power of the attack weapon.
It is very scary. The killing radius of the Tomahawk missile can reach more than 500 meters, and the damage radius at the scene is nearly more than 200 meters. The attack completely enveloped the entire convoy. Everyone had no hope of survival under such an attack.
But the attack does not come from missiles.
After inspection, there were no traces of missiles and explosives attacking and explosions at the scene, that is, except for the implicated and detonated ammunition, no conventional traces of attack weapons were found at the scene.
But soon, after more than ten hours of testing here, he just came in, another report was quickly presented to Max.
"Electromagnetic gun?"
Looking at the report, Max couldn't believe it.
"Are you sure it's an electromagnetic gun?"
Faced with Max's doubts, several military weapons professional technical officers nodded: "Yes, sir, we checked the scene. Based on the tracks and traces of the crater, we found that the attack weapon was no different from the electromagnetic cannons our Navy is testing. More than 95% of the traces of similar remains... This is indeed a trace of destruction caused by kinetic energy weapons."
"Are you sure someone can bring an electromagnetic cannon weighing more than ten tons here to use?"
