My supermarket is connected to all worlds, and I've won so much money handing it over to the st

"That's true. Hopefully, the losses will be minimal. Sigh, we've come this far, and then this happens. We haven't slept well for days."

……

Gu Xixi returned to her room, washed up, and came out. She opened the system again, but it was still on the update screen.

Five days later, Shen Qingyan returned. Gu Xixi suppressed her irritation and looked up at the sky, which seemed no different from usual.

The discussion continued for the next few days, and the evacuation of residents far from Zhongyuan City brought a surge of people to other cities.

Many patriotic business owners offered accommodation at half price or free for a certain period of time, along with lunch and dinner, demonstrating unity and cohesion once again in China.

On the third day after Shen Qingyan left, Citibank broadcast the launch of the spaceship live globally, and many netizens gathered in the news broadcast room.

[Citibank is serious; this spaceship really does look like a flying saucer from a science fiction movie... They're the ones who've been hiding the truth the most... How smug they are!]

[The Chinese are dumbfounded! Air transportation isn't even complete yet, and others are already dominating space. Both are witnessing epoch-making historical events, one a true leap forward, the other a devastating destruction!]

[It can't fly, it can't fly, it can't fly...]

……

In the news broadcast booth, soldiers stood ready, and everyone in the control room was poised for action. Soon it was 10 a.m., and with Mr. Pete's command, the Citi family pressed the one-button start button for the spaceship to take off.

Mr. Pete smiled seriously as he watched the spaceship take off, the Mach rings beneath its massive form dazzlingly bright, and he felt a surge of pride.

This flight by the Citibank will be a nightmare for the Chinese!

This flight completely shattered their dream of surpassing them and becoming number one in the world!

Under the world's watchful eyes, the enormous, silver-white, disc-shaped object steadily ascended into the air, and the energy waves it released resonated in everyone's hearts even through the screen.

[Initiate the spaceship's Earth orbit cruise route, circling the Earth three times before entering orbit for space travel.] Mr. Pete tapped the table, his smile growing wider.

It will circle the Earth's orbit three times, meaning it will also walk over the heads of China under the world's watchful eyes. This is a technological crushing victory, a slap in the face!

He likes this feeling!

"Okay, Mr. Pete, activate the spaceship's Earth orbit cruise route and begin cruising. Next, I will introduce our King spaceship to netizens around the world. It uses controlled nuclear fusion as its main energy source and can reach a top speed of Mach 120, far exceeding the speeds of the world today..."

"The rise of Citibank Technology signifies the arrival of world peace, and we will dedicate ourselves to the mission of safeguarding world peace... Now we begin the first cycle of our orbit around the Earth, currently at Mach 25... In just three minutes, the speed has reached Mach 58..."

……

People all over the world have different expressions, but everyone in China is serious.

We hope everything goes well following the meteorite incident. As long as the damage isn't too severe, we will continue to soar.

[What arrogance! We've never been so shameless as to fly over someone else's airspace before. They even wanted to fly three times! It's blatant insult. Can't we just shoot them down?]

They're moving too fast; we can't take them down, and we shouldn't even try!

Why aren't people in China smiling anymore? Do they not like to smile?

I still believe that meteorite events are a shared tragedy for humanity, and out of humanitarian considerations, such activities should not be carried out before another country is likely to suffer a major disaster.

"Isn't China's technology amazing? Let's catch up and take it down!"

……

Chu Anguo and the others were also watching the news, their faces pale and sickly. Gu Xixi rolled her eyes, "I really want to transform into a mecha warrior and shoot them down."

We can't catch up in speed, but if they want to cruise, we'll just wait for them in the air.

Chu Anguo looked at Gu Xixi, who waved her hand and said, "I am already a seasoned interdimensional trader. I was just talking big. I will absolutely obey the organization's orders and will never act on my own."

"It just looks weird!"

"I think so too, ugh, it's infuriating!" Chen Yu was so angry he was slamming his fist on the table, Old Chen was releasing terrifying pressure on the spot, and Gu's parents were filled with resentment...

People are peeing on your head, and you still have to hold it in!

The King spacecraft sped through the atmosphere at Mach 88, creating sonic booms wherever it went, proclaiming their triumph.

Gu Xixi and the others watched from below, feeling that it still wasn't strong enough, otherwise...

After the King spacecraft completed its first orbit, nearly a hundred news articles boasted about Citibank's leading technology, with the whole world praising Citibank's advanced technology.

After completing the second lap, in the Citibank command and control room, Mr. Peter's secretary suddenly changed his expression and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly went to Mr. Peter's side to report, "According to the latest data, the meteorite that was originally scheduled to reach Earth in 5 days has now reached the distance between the Earth and the Moon."

"Perhaps due to the gravitational pull of the Earth and the Moon, the meteorite's speed has increased many times compared to previous calculations, and it is estimated to reach Earth within ten minutes!"

"What!" Mr. Pete stood up angrily. "Ten minutes, to which exact location?"

The change in speed also means a change in the landing range, which means it is very likely that it will not land in China... He was silent for a moment. Was the spaceship's cruise going to end?

"Announce the news, halt the spacecraft's cruise, and immediately send instructions for the spacecraft to return to base." Mr. Pete ultimately made this decision, otherwise the damage would be too great.

The space agency staff tried their best to operate the system, but found that they could not send commands successfully. They panicked and immediately reported, "Mr. Pete, you said before that no matter what happens, this three and a half Earth orbits must be completed, so we set it to a fixed and unchangeable mode. Now the modification time has just passed, and it cannot be changed."

"Rebooting the system is impractical. Of course, there are ways to modify it, but by the time it's done, the spaceship will be back at our research institute at its current speed, which will take more than ten minutes. We don't know where the meteorite will land, so it's safer for the spaceship to stay in the sky. What if we manage to avoid it?"

"What if?! I want 100%!" Mr. Pete was furious. This had cost so much money and effort, and most importantly, he couldn't afford to lose face!

"Can't the speed be changed either?"

"cannot!"

Mr. Pete sat down stiffly, his face terribly grim.

The live stream suddenly went black, then switched to the latest meteorite update: [The meteorite's speed has suddenly increased and it will reach Earth within ten minutes. Due to the uncertain speed and other influencing factors, the exact impact area of ​​this massive meteorite cannot be calculated, and it may not be located on the Y-planet...]
