Three months later, one day in early autumn, at the Xichang Tianwai Civilization Research Center in China, a small launch vehicle with a low-orbit launch capacity of one ton, the Golden Snake 3, was loaded onto a military aircraft and successfully launched in the air. The rocket is on a top-secret mission to drop seven vacuum glass bottles on seven planets in the solar system, excluding Earth.

With the current backward scientific level of the earth, it is impossible for human beings to pass unhindered in the vast space, and it is an unattainable dream to directly touch the Horn star in the Big Magellanic Cloud in a short period of time, just like proton people touching the earth.

Therefore, the purpose of the first release of the electronic interstellar spy is not to spend generations stealing back the high-tech on Horn, but to find out whether they have a transit base in the solar system.

In fact, before the glass bottle was thrown, the experts were all aware of a difficulty that would not have happened in Powell's cave laboratory, but which had almost put the actual project on hold.

The difficulty is that if you throw a vacuum glass bottle into the vacuum environment of the universe, the pressure inside and outside the bottle will be zero, then it will not be able to break, but will float forever like space junk. The glass bottle does not break, how can the electronic interstellar agent trapped in the bottle break out of the bottle and move along a pre-set trajectory?

At the end of the discussion, it was still Powell who gave a decisive suggestion: since the electronic interstellar spies had been given the orbital instructions in advance, they would definitely not deviate, and it was better to let the Golden Snake 3 go straight to the sun. The temperature on the surface of the sun is as high as 5497 degrees Celsius, which can vaporize anything, including the seven glass bottles. The only thing to consider is whether it is worth losing a small launch vehicle.

Defending the earth against alien invaders has become a top priority, and at the moment of life and death, what is a small rocket? The Chinese government had enough foresight to bear the loss, and among the dozens of people present, none of them opposed Powell because they felt sorry for the Golden Snake No. 3, and only many pairs of eyes cast admiration at him.

In the past few months, Powell has swelled extremely fast because of the research results of electronic espionage, and his bespectacled face is often facing the sky, and he doesn't even care if he can walk or wrestle. In the conference room, he was adored by well-known scholars who were much older than him, and his awesome face interpreted two words: exaggeration.

The surveillance force that Shen Yunhong ordered Xiao Zhang to send out has not been relaxed, but Xiao Zhang and his people have been watching Powell in Xiaoxiangling for three months, and they have not found any misdeeds on him.

However, after many years in the army, with rich experience in reading people, Shen Yunhong never relaxed his vigilance against him, let alone asked Xiao Zhang to withdraw his people. He vaguely felt that sooner or later, this person would show his feet and let him find out his true details.

The operation to unleash seven vials of electronic interstellar spies, given a fishing plan. It means that human beings are casting a wide net into the solar system, trying to capture the piranha in the space ocean, the Proton Man.

It is precisely because of the implementation of the fishing plan that a question that few people have asked in the past: how did the proton people on the dark matter discover the earth, a planet occupied by organic organisms?

As Powell predicted, when Golden Snake 3 passed over Venus and Mercury and was less than 20 million kilometers away from the Sun, its titanium shell began to distort due to high temperatures, the engine power dropped, the communication system was damaged, and a noodle-like interference line appeared on the display screen of the Earth Satellite Monitoring Center.

Everyone held their breath and stared intently at the big screen, praying in their hearts that once the signal of the Golden Snake 3 was completely gone, a new tracking point would appear.

After barely holding on for another 5,000 kilometers, the Golden Snake 3 completely disintegrated, and the scattered parts fell into the sun like a blood-dripping corpse, and in less than half an hour, they all disappeared without a trace, and even the faint track was hidden by the scorching temperature.

On the monitoring screen, the flickering snowflakes make people look tired, but people still don't want to take their eyes off, as if they are looking up to the judge who determines the fate of mankind on behalf of all mankind, and the appearance of the signal point is what they are looking forward to, declaring that mankind does not need to suffer the doom of destruction.

Another half an hour passed, an hour, two hours......

People who were more impatient couldn't bear it anymore, and some even began to sob. Because they have bet all their hopes on the electronic interstellar agent, they have to suffer a disappointing end, like a ship lost in the sea, and finally see the lighthouse that flickers with a glimmer, but before they can get closer, the glimmer is extinguished.

Sitting in the front row, Powell, who was held by the stars, also felt desperate, he endured the hard living and working conditions in the deep mountains and old forests, and the results of his research for ten years were swallowed into his stomach by the sun with his blood basin open.

Just as the negative and disappointed mood spread in the hall, the whispering discussion gradually sounded, and some people were even about to get up and leave, one arm suddenly pointed straight at the large display screen, and shouted two words in an excited voice: signal!

People were not disappointed, and no one was leaving, they all looked up in shock, and sure enough, they found that the snowflakes on the screen were gone, the background was filled with dark blue again, and a moving, rice-grain-sized red dot appeared inside - it was the electronic spy 2 sent to Mars!

Of the four types of terrestrial planets, only Mars has a small amount of liquid water, so it is similar to Earth. Suppose that the glass bottle containing the electronic spy melts and only the team that went to Mars survives, does that mean that the enemy is hiding in the Grand Canyon or crater of Mars? Could it be that those tiny inorganic life also need to survive on water?

The speculation was quickly overturned, as a second and third red dots appeared on the screen one after the other, and just as the crowd was cheering, the fourth and fifth red dots also appeared. So everyone pressed their hearts and waited for the miracle to continue to happen.

The electronic interstellar spies, as expected, lived up to the high expectations of mankind, and all seven squads survived, and after a little rectification, they each began to explore the pre-set planet.

The hall of the monitoring center was full of jubilation, and people warmly hugged and congratulated each other, all of them with tears of excitement just as Powell had when he first developed the electronic spy. Shen Yunhong still sat calmly in a corner, happy, but not carried away by happiness.

Then came the long wait. While the cyber-spies' trajectories are computer-set, and the faithful antimatter electrons do not change them on their own, the timing of their return is unpredictable, so it is up to them to determine for themselves.

A week passed, and the military planes waiting for them hovered in the airspace where the Golden Snake III was launched every day, but they couldn't catch anything, and the seven bright spots stayed motionless on their respective destination planets, as if they were nailed to the monitor, and the monitors would fall asleep after staring at them for a long time.

This continued until the eighth day, when the electronic spies on Jupiter abruptly left Jupiter and entered the outer periphery of the asteroid belt closest to it.
