The Detector Looks Like a Work of Art. What Business Is That of Yours, Eagle?

In the 1990s, Jiang Chen learns that an alien fleet is about to visit the Solar System and reports it to his country first.

The country's leaders are shocked and appoint Jiang Chen Commander-in-Chief of the Space Force, giving him full support to fight the alien fleet.

After discovering the alien fleet, countries launch probes to gauge its technological level.

The Big Mao probe is the Tsar Bomba.

The Eagle Sauce probe contains a powerful propaganda video.

Jiang Chen requests permission to use Eagle Sauce's launch vehicle, but is refused.

Countries mock Jiang Chen's probe as a piece of metal artwork unfit for space.

Jiang Chen pools the country's resources and launches a droplet probe into the cosmos.

The alien fleet captures the probes launched by other countries, then, shocked by the droplet's strong-interaction-force hull, speeds away.

Every country thinks it was their probe that scared off the alien fleet.

Little do they know that an even stronger fleet is on its way.

Jiang Chen vigorously develops technology and the economy, ushering in one breakthrough after another, including controlled nuclear fusion and space elevators.

Jealous of the Rabbit's technological advances, countries form a coalition force and pressure the Rabbit to share its technology.

Jiang Chen: "Ignorant and arrogant. Do you really think the alien fleet fled the Solar System because it was afraid of you bunch of primitives?"
