Before the panel on stage, the audience was abuzz with the murmurs of confusion and occasional sniggers. The conference that had been meant to showcase the quality and competency of global satellite communications and navigation systems had somehow lost contact with a mere fishing boat with a previously established connection.
This was a humiliating blow.
The host of the conference saw that things were getting out of hand and immediately changed the display to connect with another target. This was a research vessel in the Arctic they had also set up a connection with beforehand. However, the research vessel's connectivity was even worse than the fishing boat'sthe image was grainy and the connection dropped midway.
The technical personnel for the conference were flushed in the face as they hammered various commands at the terminal in a desperate attempt to establish a strong connection with the satellite, but it was as though a great door had blocked their path. They had no way of contacting the outside world.
"My God! What is going on?"
"The Copernicus system is completely down!"
"Enable the American GPS system! That's the best system around!"
"But that's too expensive"
"This is not the time to worry about price! Even if it costs a fortune, I still need that connection established!"
The chairman of the conference was drenched in sweat and his bald head glittered with beads of perspiration. However, they had struggled to no availas soon as they connected with the American GPS, it was immediately apparent that there was something wrong with that system as well. For some reason, the system was running incredibly slow and couldn't establish connection; they kept receiving "bad connection" errors. Jenny, the host responsible for explaining and selling the features of the system, was so embarrassed that all she wanted to do was crawl into a hole.
Huo Shaoheng turned around to look at Deputy Director Yan. Deputy Director Yan quickly nudged Bai Shuang, who was sitting beside. him, "Secretary Bai, you're up."
Bai Shuang grit her teeth, "Will our Nandou system work?"
Even though the Copernicus and GPS were down, she truly had no faith in the Nandou. Zhao Liangze hastily uploaded Nandou's civilian password just as Gu Nianzhi had asked, and said to Bai Shuang impatiently, "Hurry up and get on stage, tell them to switch to the Nandou system so they can connect to the fishing boat and research vessel. Get on with it now! This is an order!"
Bai Shuang dared not hesitate any longer and quickly took the items from Zhao Liangze before walking up to the stage. She was truly an excellent member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and immediately regained her composure as soon as she went to the podium. She spoke in her suave London accent, "Ms. Jenny, is there something I could assist you with?"
"The satellite system is down, obviously. I'm not sure what you and yourAsian peers could possibly do for us. Perhaps you'll perform some Oriental magic and give our bored audience some entertainment?" The blonde haired and blue eyed Jenny said nastily.
The blatant scorn and contempt enraged Bai Shuang, along with all the members of the Huaxia delegation. In that moment, everyone hoped that their nation was powerful enough that these hypocritical Caucasians would be forced to kneel and lick the shoes of the Huaxia Empire, who they had trampled under their feet.
"Heh, I don't know magic, but how about you perform another round of your confused mannerisms for us while we try to establish connection to the system? Maybe it'll be even more entertaining for our bored audience here." Bai Shuang winked at her and smiled brightly. She passed the object she held in her hand to the technical support personnel for the conference, "This is the Nandou Global Satellite Navigation System developed by the Huaxia Empire. I will demonstrate how itcan quickly help us to reconnect with the fishing boat and research vessel."
