Abraham is an American with typical middle-aged white looks (tall nose, slight fat and slight bounty) who is currently working for NASA as a senior technician handling space surveillance and rocket launch monitoring.

As the world's most powerful space agency, NASA has always been the coordinate of the world's space industry, the first to land on the moon, the first space shuttle, the continuous space launch rockets in the space race are staggering, and the Hubble telescope is enough to go down in human history.

Even though the Space Shuttle has been shut down and phased out, many countries still do not have the ability to build a Space Shuttle.

In addition, last year, Stark Industries built the Ark spacecraft for launch, although the main technology came from Tony Stark, but NASA also invested power in it.

But now the Ark is in big trouble, a sudden solar wind disrupts all plans, and the Ark, which was originally preparing to return home, may face the blowing of the solar wind in the universe, and as an old technician, Abraham knows very well what this means.

And there's not much that people on Earth can do. It's not a Hollywood blockbuster, it's not starring Matt Damon. In fact, NASA can't do much other than look at the solar wind and figure out the most appropriate coordinates for evasion with the least radiation.

A vote of scientists is already arguing in the office. They can't come up with a good solution.

If Apollo XIII's self-rescue in space was a miracle, then the Ark spacecraft could only pray that it had happened again.

"Coffee, Abraham." A colleague went out to the restaurant and brought Abraham a cup of coffee.Abraham took the coffee and thanked him, and he now continues with this thing to refresh himself.

He's been staring at the monitor for almost six hours, and in fact Abraham hasn't been able to go home since the solar wind broke out. The entire NASA senior technician is almost like this. They can't go even if they can't do anything. In a lofty phrase: Ark is the future of mankind.

This is the first time that humanity has truly taken the step of exploring the universe on its own, and it is no longer like a child's game of picking up shells on the beach like the previous decades, but a prelude to being truly ready to rise and set sail.

Whether the Ark succeeds or fails is of crucial significance to human exploration of space.

"What can we do here?" A colleague asked softly beside Abraham, who shook his head, "Pray."

As a technologist who finally pins his hopes on the gods, Abraham finds it ironic, just when he is not in a good mood there is a commotion outside.

Just as he was about to go outside to take a look, there was a shout from outside: "Tony Stark has flown in in his steel armor!"

Abraham was as curious as the rest of his colleagues ran towards the source of the sound, what was Tony doing here? Everyone knew that the Ark was Tony Stark's brainchild, and he wouldn't allow anything to happen to the ship.

The golden-red steel armor roared towards the NASA commissioner's office, and flew straight in, startling the director who was originally typing on the computer.

And then the director's secretary rushed in and pointed at Iron Man and said to the director, "Sir, I don't have time to organize him."

The director couldn't help but roll his eyes, this is nonsense.If you can stop Iron Man, then you still need to be on duty at the door of my office?" He waved his hand and motioned for the secretary to go out: "Okay, I see. I think Mr. Stark is looking for me."

After the secretary exited the room, the director turned to look at Iron Man, "Mr. Tony Stark, it's a little rude for you to come in like this."

Instead of taking off his steel mask, Tony said as Iron Man, "I know, so I apologize, but it's an extraordinary time, and I think you should be able to understand."

NASA Administrator nodded, "I know, so I didn't call the police just now."

Tony smirked, "That's humorous."

"It's a matter of suffering. The Ark has a big problem, and my scientists have started to negotiate behind closed doors, but nothing has progressed." The director frowned and said: "This feeling is terrible, more desperate than the accident of Apollo 13 back then."

"That's why we need to think of something else." Tony said this, his tone making the Director feel a little different.

The director asked tentatively, "Have you figured out a solution?"

"Remember another plan I mentioned earlier?" Tony Stark asked.

"What?" The director did not react at the first time.

"Star Harbor Sky City!" Tony reminded him.

"Does it matter?" The director still didn't connect the two things: "The Ark and Sky City are two different things."

"It's one thing." "It's actually a different thing. The Starport project has been approved by the Earth Federation, and we've been working on it for a long time, and I know that, in fact, China and the European Space Agency have already started mining helium-3 since the Ark launched last year."

Tony pointed at the director, "I know, including NASA, you're all crazy about building rockets. It's like the last space race, you've stockpiled a lot of rockets, and you're making too many moves. I've even heard of a fool who came up with something called Project Relay to be a backss if I wasn't providing the Ark spacecraft technology."

Tony is right, including China, the European Space Agency, and other countries that have their own space capabilities have been preparing for the space age for more than a year.

Not all countries can get the Ark spacecraft, and even if they can get it, they have to prepare for both.In addition, Tony proposed the Starport Project, which makes countries around the world prepare their own space programs all the time.Everyone can realize that the age of space and space has really come, and it is no longer a bridge in science fiction.

The Director didn't admit or deny Tony Stark's claims, he just said lightly, "So what do you want to say?"

"I need to requisition these rockets!" Tony Stark bluntly said: "I need these rockets to save the Ark! This is the first time in human history that such a big step into the universe has been taken, and there is absolutely no room for failure!"

The Director did not deny this, human beings are only an insignificant civilization in the universe, especially in the battle of New York, human beings really witnessed a powerful alien civilization, even if the other party did not show malicious intent, but it still made people not let their guard down.

In this case, NASA's rights are further expanded, and the Star Wars program proposed by the Reagan administration was brought up again, but this time the object of Star Wars has changed from humans on Earth to aliens outside.

"I need to use these rockets to start carrying the first materials for the Starport, and two of the four Arks that Stark is preparing to deliver to the P5 this year are now nearing completion, and I'm going to risk using them." Tony said with all seriousness.

The director frowned: "What the hell do you want to do?"

"Use all your power to create a fortress that shields you from the solar wind!" Tony said this, without his usual frivolity, only endless seriousness.

"The shell materials for Starport were already produced at the time of the project, they are armor that is strong enough to resist the solar wind, and I will use this armor to build a spacefortress for the Ark, so that they can shelter from this solar wind."

"It's obviously impossible for the two Ark ships that haven't been completely completed to carry so much of this weight into space, so I need rockets from all of you! I'll bring steel armor inside the Ark spacecraft and let them adjust the position of these armors in space, as long as the timing is just right, we can let the Ark avoid this solar wind without danger." Tony laid out his plan in full.

To be precise, it wasn't his plan, but Dr. Banner's.

At that time, Dr. Banner came up with the idea: "The Starport project has begun, but the Earth Federation is arguing over what course it should take in that orbit. In fact, we should have started launching the first base a long time ago, but the constant interests involved hurt our progress."

"The Ark is a crisis but also a turning point. We seized this opportunity to directly start the Starport program to shut up those politicians. And there is a more important point. We can't protect the earth forever. There is a day when powerful heroes fall, and even the best intentions of the organization will also deteriorate one day. We have a lot of power, so the more we are prone to spoilage." Dr. Banner was blunt.

"Jason approached me and asked me to join the Illuminati because I didn't want this to happen, I wanted to cool everyone's brains with fresh blood, and now I think it's time for me to play a role, we can't do everything to help the planet, it's unrealistic."

"We need to make the Earth Federation truly united, and we need to do one thing to make them understand how small they are to this vast universe, that an ununited Earth is extremely vulnerable to a real alien threat, that a simple solar wind can destroy the hope and future of mankind!" Banner turned his head to look in the direction of Li Jie.

"And even if this plan doesn't work out, there will be Jason's Starfleet and Thor's back, and if it doesn't work, let them rescue Dr. Reed and them, and it won't be too much of a loss."

Li Jie nodded, he also agreed with Dr. Banner's idea, anyway, he couldn't think of Dr. Banner's idea, not that he couldn't think of this way of doing things, but because he lacked enough scientific knowledge, he couldn't calculate how the whole plan needed to be laid out like Dr. Banner.

This is a very professional ability, not a simple pot or something, this is not Li Jie's strong point.

But just like Tony said, this is the first real space voyage of mankind, and it is also the first step for mankind to begin to explore extraterrestrial civilizations.

And the whole world is waiting for the return of this batch of helium-3 ore, so I didn't think about it for long, as an old astronaut, the director decided to do something big in the end of his career that would go down in history.

He said to Tony, "It's not enough for you to convince me about this, you also need to convince the president."

Iron Man spreads his hands: "Already convinced?"

"What?"

"I mean, I'm not here." The mask of the Iron Warframe was opened, and it was empty.

Tony was just talking to the director remotely, and he was now a real doppelganger, as he needed to travel around the world to meet with the leaders of various space agencies.

And the director of the Heavenly Sword Bureau is negotiating with the leaders of various countries to push everyone to agree to this plan.

"The Starport project is not just for individuals or countries, and the Ark and Helium-3 are not just for the future of a country, they are related to the direction of our world, and we need to unite to do this from various perspectives, both politically and economically." Captain Rogers emphasized to the leaders via video conference.

"We are not alone in the universe.This universe has enemies and friends.The history of human development has told us that the most powerful civilizations often perish in civil strife.And the earth civilization is still 108,000 miles away from being strong.Everyone, the Earth Federation should do something! Not only for us, but also for our descendants, this era needs to set an example!"

The President of the United States was the first to cast a yes vote: "I agree." (I'm retiring anyway)

Then there is China, which has been fighting with the United States in cooperation and cooperation, and the leader also voted in favor: "If we can't reach a basic agreement even on such a trivial matter, then our civilization is not far from extinction."

This was followed by Great Britain, France, Russia, Germany, ............. In the end, even Latvia, which has been working against other countries, has expressed its willingness to lend its domestic rockets and the Ark spacecraft for prevention.

Seriously, this scared a vote of people, no one knows when Doom was so kind, and he will help the Americans? Then a message came out: Doom, Susan and Richard were college classmates, and it was said that the relationship was quite good..................

……………………

The Space Launch Center in Houston, USA, is busy. Everyone is preparing for an emergency launch. In addition to the busy people, there are Iron Man's steel squads, and an army sent from the military wearing elven armor produced by Osben to help. These people and machines are powerful, and they are not afraid of toxic and harmful products.

Their inclusion made the preparation extremely quick.

At the launch site in the South China Sea, huge solid-fuel rockets are being transferred to the launch pad at a gentle speed by hundreds of mutants who are proficient in magnetic field control.

At the European Space Launch Centre, the rocket launcher that has been secretly preparing has been pushed onto the launch pad and making final preparations.

Inside the Plesetsk base, the huge, crude-looking machine neatly packed the supplies delivered by the Iron Man team into the transport bay attached to the rocket launcher.

Space centers around the world seem to be busy for the same thing at the same time. For the first time, the world is on the same side and on the same frequency because of the same thing.

March 30 at 10 p.m. U.S. time, weather: clear, wind speed: low.

Abraham is on another launch mission. This is the twenty-fifth time in his career that he has done such a thing. After doing this kind of thing so many times, it stands to reason that he should have gotten used to it. But today he still can't contain his excitement.

It's hard to say why this excitement is because they are saving their compatriots outside the planet, or is it because of this is the first time that astronauts from all over the world have worked together?

Abraham shook his head, and he drove all distractions out of his mind. Because he needed to hold his breath, when the countdown was over, he calmly pressed the launch button.

The rocket ignited smoothly, and the huge fire light illuminated the entire Houston Space Launch Center, and the rocket lifted off with a huge light and heat. It is like the sun rising in the dark night, and the burning flame can be seen even from tens or hundreds of kilometers away.

This is the "sun" that represents the rise of human civilization, and it carries the hope and persistence of human beings. We are like children who light a bonfire in a terrible dark forest in the dark and cold universe.

There was always a terrible gaze in the darkness watching the erratic flame that seemed to be extinguished at any moment. The flame may be faint, perhaps it is an attraction and a lure. But when the light and heat shine and can't be ignored, it's a deterrent!

From Houston to the South China Sea, from Tanegashima to San Marco, a cluster of fires rose one after another. They are like the ignition stars lit by humanity, heading towards the dark and silent universe. They declare to the world: we are coming, and we will not back down.

First the first, then the second, then the third and fourth, and then the number that starts to spread to your quick count. These "rising stars" with human civilization are constantly rising from the earth, and they have not flinched or feared. They are recklessly radiating their own light and heat.

At this moment, the earth is twinkling with a thousand stars!
