As soon as the meteorite incident occurred, it instantly ignited the internet!
The fact that the Huaxia Empire was almost destroyed left countless people worried and anxious...
Without any warning, they were suddenly told that a meteorite was falling, and it was one with such powerful destructive force. How could people feel at ease?
A small number of netizens immediately criticized the Huaxia County Government's actions online,
believing that the Huaxia Imperial Government had invested so much money in aerospace construction each year, yet failed to even detect a single meteorite in the end.
If Iron Man hadn't stepped forward at the last moment and created so many thrusters to deflect the falling meteorite, they would probably be doomed.
Regarding this matter, the Huaxia Imperial Government immediately issued an announcement.
The announcement clearly informed everyone of the origin and details of the meteorite falling incident.
It was only then that people realized that the meteorite was not initially headed for Huaxia, but had encountered a larger meteorite from the United States.
Coincidentally, this large meteorite unexpectedly disintegrated upon impact, splitting into a smaller piece which, following an altered trajectory, headed straight for China's Capital!
Due to the urgent time, in order to prevent the meteorite's invasion and to avoid causing too much social panic, the government did not immediately issue a public danger
warning or execute any emergency plans. Instead, they directly dispatched the Iron Man Brigade to intercept the meteorite.
The results proved that the government's choice was very correct. The meteorite was successfully intercepted, and salvage teams are now being organized to retrieve it...
After seeing the announcement, the anger of the Huaxia people finally subsided completely.
"So that's how it is! I thought the meteorite just appeared above my head, but it turns out it came all the way from the US!"
"I was so scared today, I looked up and saw such a huge meteorite... If it had really fallen, probably half of Magic City would have been wiped out!"
"Not just Magic City! I saw a tech expert on Weibo analyze it, and according to the speed and time of its descent, if that meteorite had truly hit, half of Huaxia wouldn't have escaped!"
"Half of Huaxia?! Good heavens... Didn't we just walk past the gates of hell?"
"It's also fortunate that the country developed Iron Man! Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to chat here! I heard that the one who intercepted the meteorite yesterday was the latest Liquid Nanotech Combat Suit from Gundam Seed Destiny 3.
I just looked, and the appearance is exactly the same! I really admire that Huaxia scientist; to be able to create such technology is truly amazing!"
"Yeah, I think so too, that Iron Man looks so cool! I didn't expect Professor Wangzhe to have such high aesthetic taste!"
"The appearance definitely wasn't designed by the old professor. I guess it was all designed according to movie blueprints... to appeal to young people's aesthetics, probably."
"I've decided, from now on I'm Iron Man's number one fan! If he releases merchandise, I'll be the first to buy it!"
"Me too!"
"Count me in!"
"..."
In the girls' dorm, a few girls gathered, chattering excitedly about the meteorite incident. As they talked, it turned into a fan appreciation meeting.
"Bai Lingyun, are you joining?" A girl turned to Bai Lingyun, who was quietly reading at her desk, and asked.
"Oh! When has Bai Lingyun ever fangirled over anyone? Kris Wu, Lu Han, Li Yifeng—she doesn't care for any of those big stars. Her taste is too high, how could she join us?" another girl persuaded.
"I'm joining!"
But before she could finish, Bai Lingyun closed her book and said directly.
"Huh?"
The girls were stunned.
"Did I hear that right? Bai Lingyun, you want to be Iron Man's fan?"
"Bai Lingyun, you never get into that fangirl stuff, how could you..."
"It must be that we misheard!"
The girls looked disbelieving.
"I'm not interested in celebrities!"
"But this Iron Man is indeed very cool, he's my type, and... he's also our savior!"
As she said this, Su Yan's smile and figure appeared in Bai Lingyun's mind, and a faint smile involuntarily touched her lips.
"This new Iron Man is actually Bai Lingyun's type? Wow! This is breaking news!"
"If this news gets out, all the boys in school will probably join this new Iron Man fan club!"
The other girls were excited, their gossip souls burning fiercely.
"However... there's one thing you said incorrectly!"
Bai Lingyun smiled charmingly. "Actually, this Iron Man wasn't created by the government. His identity is someone else entirely."
"What?!"
"Bai Lingyun, how do you know all this?"
"Quick! Quickly tell me, who is the new Iron Man?"
"..."
The girls immediately became interested, pressing her with questions.
Bai Lingyun walked over, and several heads huddled together, the girls looking at her expectantly, their eyes full of longing for the answer.
"Guess!"
Leaving these three words, Bai Lingyun smiled and ran out.
"Oh, you!"
"Bai Lingyun! When did you become so mischievous?!"
"No way! You have to tell us today!"
The girls chased after her playfully.
In the villa.
"Sir, I have submitted the list of materials you require to the national channel liaison and to black market merchants around the world...
After seeing the list, the liaison expressed a desire to meet you in person to speak on the phone!"
In the pool, Su Yan broke the water, wiped his face, and pushed his hair back.
"Tell him directly, no!"
Su Yan got ashore, dried himself, and casually picked up a glass of juice, taking a sip. "He's just a liaison, meeting me serves no purpose.
Every item on the list I gave him isn't out of line. His request to meet should not be his own idea, but from higher up!"
Others might not know, but the Huaxia Government was well aware... Iron Man was Su Yan himself.
Therefore, the series of actions to stop the meteorite and save the world from disaster must have been done by Su Yan.
Now they wanted to see him, nothing more than to express their gratitude face-to-face and offer some rewards... According to Su Yan's guess, his rank of Rear Admiral might even directly become Vice Admiral or even Admiral because of this incident.
Of course, it would still just be a title, without much real power.
And after the rewards, they would definitely ask about the Liquid Nanotech Suit and Nanomechanical Particle Technology.
The incident was such a huge deal, witnessed by the entire world. How could the astute Huaxia Government not notice?
So, Su Yan was too lazy to deal with those higher-ups and simply refused to meet.
"Understood, Sir!"
"Also, I have good news for you: the meteorite you previously purchased for 100 billion from the King of South Africa has been successfully traded, and is currently being transported to Huaxia!"
