Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 836 October Sky (Third update, please subscribe)
Human history was changed on this day!
On this day, humans heard electronic signals from outer space for the first time.

First, a U.S. military detection station in Alaska received a signal from outer space.

At first, the American soldiers in the detection station thought they had made a mistake. Just when they were confused, more detection stations received signals from space.

The "beep, beep" signal shocked everyone.

If one day, a radio signal suddenly appears in space, how will naive people react?
Get into a panic!
As we all know, there are no radio signals in space. If radio signals appear, it must be the arrival of aliens.

The generals in the Pentagon were informed almost immediately, and when they learned what happened, the first reaction in their minds was: Is this a mistake?

"There is no mistake. It is indeed a signal from outer space."

Faced with this fact, the generals couldn't help but discuss a topic there - since it was a signal from outer space, it must be aliens coming. What is the attitude of aliens towards the earth?
To be precise, they are friends and enemies.

This matter is really hard to judge, just like when Columbus came to America, in the eyes of the Indians, were they enemies or friends?
When the generals were confused, panicked and didn't know what to do, it was not only the military that received the signal, but also some radio enthusiasts who also received the signal from space.

The sudden signal left everyone stunned. After all, this was the first time that humans received a signal from space.

After the news broke, traffic accidents occurred in almost every American city, from Los Angeles to Chicago to New York.

The news anchor on the radio station was reporting the signals appearing in space in a panic-stricken tone. The streets of the city were in chaos. Many people had directly turned on the "zero-dollar shopping" mode. Even the police had forgotten to perform their duties - they were also frightened.

Aliens are coming!
"…At this moment, the radio signals coming from space are moving very fast. They are sending radio signals at frequencies of 20.005 MHz and 40.002 MHz. We don't know the content of these signals yet, but what is certain is that this is the first time that humans have received radio signals from space. Some scientists speculate that this is most likely a signal sent by aliens. At present, we don't know…"

Aliens are coming!
Everyone was so frightened that they were stunned!
In fact, they didn't know that this was a signal sent by a radio transmitter on an artificial satellite launched by the Soviet Union. The satellite was equipped with some instruments that could measure data such as the temperature and density of space and the Earth's atmosphere.

However, due to many reasons - mainly because TASS had already gone off work at that hour, the news was not sent out immediately. In addition, the satellite came too suddenly, so everyone thought it was a signal from aliens.

What does the arrival of aliens mean?
It means doomsday!

Listening to the despairing news coming from the radio, Angel, who liked reading science fiction novels, looked at the room in despair. Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she walked out of the bedroom and knocked on her brother's door.

"Ander,"

Angel looked at his brother who looked terrified.

"Did you hear the broadcast?"

"Sister, is this true? Is this true? Will aliens occupy Hawaii? Will they kill us all..."

Ender is also a science fiction fan.

"Only God knows,"

Angel then said bluntly.

"Andre, should we have a try? We're all going to die anyway..."

Faced with his sister's request, Ender agreed... He cried like a woman from beginning to end because he didn't want to die in the war and didn't want to die at the hands of aliens.

……

It can only be said that too much chaos happened on this day. The generals in the Pentagon were discussing the plan for the doomsday counterattack, the Air Force's F86 took off urgently, and the Army troops were also put on combat readiness.

But anyone who has read science fiction knows that these are useless!
On this day, the whole world was in a state of chaos. People were waiting for the alien invasion in confusion, while some were thinking about how to survive the alien invasion. But nothing is absolute. Just as people all over the world were waiting for the end of the world in fear, at 1:36 a.m., a news flash from TASS appeared on the teletypewriters of news agencies around the world: "After the intensive efforts of various research institutes and related scientific research units, the first artificial earth satellite has now been born - on October 10, the Soviet Union successfully launched the first artificial satellite."

The whole world was in an uproar. A few minutes later, they received another flash report from TASS, which mentioned the orbital data of the Sputnik-1 satellite.

Before they received this news, countless astronomy enthusiasts had already used astronomical telescopes to observe "aliens" - unlike the fixed and motionless stars, the "Sputnik-1" satellite in space is moving rapidly.

While moving, it continuously emits "beep, beep" signals.

A Soviet satellite, barely larger than a basketball, was circling the Earth once every ninety-six minutes at eighteen thousand miles per hour. Millions of people, from their living rooms, bedrooms, and yards, looked up into the sky and saw a moving object that looked like a star appearing every ninety-six minutes.

It reflected the sunlight like a moving star, except that this star was man-made! It passed through the treetops, twinkling, and no one spoke until it disappeared. Then someone broke the silence.

"That's a Soviet-made satellite!"

Looking at the stars moving in the sun, many people in Nanyang cried. They didn't know how to describe their feelings, was it loss or excitement.

Perhaps both, they were disappointed that it was not Nanyang that launched the satellite first, and they were excited that the satellite was not just a dream. It might even be the most amazing thing they could imagine.

"What a pity it's not from Nanyang!"

Like many people, Li Yian also came to the garden of the official residence. Not only him, but also his wives and children did the same. They all stood there and even brought astronomical telescopes.

The children's innocent faces were filled with yearning for space. It was not until this time that Li Yian understood why artificial satellites had such a great impact on the world, because they themselves were extremely great, so great that even children of a few years old knew about them.

"Dad, I saw it. I saw Sputnik 1. They are amazing!"

Li Yian’s heart sank when he heard his son’s cry.

Yes, at this moment, the Soviet Union was the most powerful country in the world!

No matter how powerful the United States was in the past, now, on this day, they were left far behind by the Soviet Union. Looking at the children's eyes and expressions, Li Yian even felt a little regretful.

What do you regret?
Of course he failed to win the first place. At this moment, Li Yian felt lost, and even had a hint of indescribable bitterness!

This is simply... In fact, in the context of the Cold War, as long as the Soviet Union followed suit, the United States would definitely do its best to catch up. After all, this was the Cold War and could not be viewed with common sense.

But many opportunities are like this, once missed, they are gone forever!
However, there is still a chance!
Li Yian took a deep breath, looked at the children around him, looked at those pairs of curious and eager eyes, and said.

"Children, soon, we in Nanyang will also launch our own satellite!"

"really?"

Li Yixuan asked, and Li Yiyuan followed suit.

"Satellites like the Russians?"

"No, it's more advanced than theirs!"

Li Yian said.

"The race for space... has only just begun!"
