Lies from the Strategic Deception Bureau?

That night.

As major media outlets finished organizing their news releases, China's major social media platforms were instantly set ablaze!

On the Weibo hot - search list, ten hot - search terms in red with black highlights appeared in a row.

*The Lunar Palace Project*

*The Nantianmen Project*

*The Heavenly Court Project*

*Professor Lü is amazing!!!*

*...*

These ten hot - searches directly caused the Weibo server to crash!

Countless onlookers rushed into the comment section, expressing their excited feelings.

"Damn! Damn!"

"What's going on? What's going on? What's going on?!"

"As long as you accept your own weakness, then I'm invincible... Ahem, sorry, wrong place."

"Nowadays, the editors are getting more and more outrageous. They're even using the content of science - fiction novels to post news directly?"

"... Those upstairs, please read carefully. This is the meeting just held by the China Space Administration, and these things were all proposed by Professor Lü, the first director!"

"Is there anyone who can tell me what year it is? I suspect I've time - traveled!"

"Why do I smell the flavor of the competition between the US and the Soviet Union back then..."

Naturally, a well - known Chinese military forum was no exception. It was directly thrown into an uproar by this piece of news!

...

After dinner, Zhao Zijie, as usual, sat in front of the computer in his room and opened the browser.

He skillfully entered a domain name in the browser's address bar.

He gently tapped the Enter key.

The web page quickly jumped to a military forum.

Different from usual, a line of bold red characters appeared on the home page of the military forum this time.

*Heavy - duty Disclosure of the Content of the Space Administration Meeting!*

Zhao Zijie frowned slightly.

During this period, the name of the Space Administration could be said to be well - known far and wide.

It was no exaggeration to say that almost no one was unaware of this newly - established department wherever there was the Internet and a signal.

But... how did the meeting of the Space Administration get related to the military forum?

A hint of doubt appeared in Zhao Zijie's eyes. He dragged the mouse and subconsciously clicked on the highlighted title in bold red.

"The Lunar Palace Project... the Lunar Automatic Mining Project?"

"Huh???"

"Put into production by the end of this year?!"

"WTF?!"

Zhao Zijie let go of the mouse and reached out to rub his eyes.

He even suspected that he had misread!

How come, out of the blue, China suddenly proposed a lunar mining project?

Leaving aside other things, China hasn't even really achieved manned lunar landing yet, right?

Just like this, putting a lunar mining project into production by the end of the year, isn't it a fantasy?

"Is Professor Lü crazy..."

Zhao Zijie muttered to himself. Then he opened the QQ group, took a screenshot of the news in front of him, and sent it out.

"Guys, have you seen this news? Today shouldn't be April Fool's Day, right?"

"Ding - ding - ding!"

Soon, a rapid message prompt sounded.

Zhao Zijie quickly opened the QQ group to check again.

"Lao Zhao, you can't be just finding out, can you?"

"Friendly reminder, the Lunar Palace Project is the easiest to achieve among the three major projects."

"Lao Zhao, finish reading the news before you speak!"

Looking at the messages in the QQ group, Zhao Zijie's pupils shrank slightly.

Three major projects?

And the simplest one?

Zhao Zijie quickly closed the QQ group interface and dragged the mouse to look carefully.

Gradually, Zhao Zijie's expression became strange.

The Nantianmen Project, with the Xuannü series of aerospace fighters and the Luanbird series of aerospace carrier platforms, was actually aimed at resisting alien invasions?

WTF???

And it will be completed by the end of next year?!

As he scrolled the mouse wheel, the specific information of the Nantianmen Project emerged in front of him.

The Xuannü series of aerospace fighters.

Fuselage length: 30 - 50 meters.

Maximum take - off weight: 80 - 100 tons.

Cruising speed within the atmosphere: 11.2 km/s (second cosmic velocity)

Maximum speed outside the atmosphere: 16.7 km/s (third cosmic velocity)

Equipped with dual - fusion engines, and the power system is an electric propulsion system...

The main weaponry includes small - scale rapid - fire laser cannons, ultra - high - speed medium - to - long - range air - to - air missiles (nuclear warheads can be equipped)...

The subsequent Luanbird series was even more outrageous!

The total length of the fuselage is 500 meters, the wingspan is 1300 meters, the maximum take - off weight is 300,000 tons, the cruising speed within the atmosphere is Mach 2, and the speed outside the atmosphere can reach the third cosmic velocity!

As for the weapon system, high - energy pulsed laser cannons, high - power particle diffusion cannons, large - scale missile launch wells...

Seeing this, Zhao Zijie swallowed slightly.

Could this stuff really be achieved next year?

Thinking that this was only the second project, Zhao Zijie quickly scrolled the page down.

Whoa!

The Heavenly Court Project!

Goodness!

Just by looking at the name, Zhao Zijie could imagine how outrageous this thing was!

First, he looked at the projected completion time of the project.

Within 15 years...

He suddenly felt a bit relieved.

After being shocked by the first two projects, he suddenly thought that the Heavenly Court Project with a 15 - year deadline seemed to be the most reliable.

But soon, he decided to take back his naive words.

The Human Deep - Space Voyage Fleet Project.

According to the plan, the entire Heavenly Court Fleet would consist of 1,000 survival - type starships, 500 supply - type starships, and 1,000 combat - type starships.

Among them, the 1,000 survival - type starships could carry nearly one billion Chinese people, with an average of one million Chinese people per starship.

And the maximum flight speed of the entire Heavenly Court Fleet would reach one - tenth of the speed of light.

As for the destination of the Heavenly Court Fleet, it was Proxima Centauri, 4.22 light - years away.

Zhao Zijie took a deep breath.

With a trembling hand, he opened the QQ group again and typed three exclamation marks in the chat box.

"!!!"

"Hahaha! Another kid is scared silly!"

Seeing the group member's reply, Zhao Zijie smiled bitterly and started typing on the keyboard. "No, what the hell is all this?"

"This stuff is clearly from a science - fiction novel, right?"

"How could it be presented in the Great Hall of the People in China?!"

As soon as Zhao Zijie's complaining words were sent, someone replied, "Lao Zhao, you're still too young!"

"Remember the Star Wars plan proposed by the US before?"

Zhao Zijie's pupils suddenly contracted, and his finger - tapping speed instantly increased.

"Are you saying... this is something made up by the Strategic忽悠 Bureau?"

The next second, a screenshot was sent to the QQ group.

The screenshot showed the Weibo hot - search list.

*Congratulations to Professor Lü Yongchang on succeeding as the Chief and taking the position of the Director of the Strategic忽悠 Bureau!*

Zhao Zijie: "..."

He shook his head with a bitter smile.

Indeed, for this kind of thing, as long as a person has normal intelligence, they probably wouldn't believe it!

However, in his mind, the magnificent scene of the aurora all over the sky a few days ago suddenly flashed.

Thinking that the two events were less than a day apart, Zhao Zijie's heart stirred slightly.

Could there be any connection?

But soon, he shook his head, throwing his wild thoughts out.

It should be impossible!

Most likely, as netizens said, it was just a "lie" from the Strategic忽悠 Bureau.
