Chapter 221: Meteorite Crisis

NASA, for its part, has quickly calculated the exact landing point of the asteroid: downtown Warsaw.

The White House, the office of the President of the United States, the red line phone rings.

The hotline is never allowed to ring only at the most critical moments. Whenever it sounds, it is a major event that threatens US national security.

When he learned that an asteroid of the extinction of dinosaurs was rushing towards Earth, the President of the United States almost did not sit still. After he hung up the phone, he immediately called the S.H.I.E.L.D. hotline in a hurry.

The braised eggs are monitoring the chaos in downtown Warsaw via satellite. Looking at the blocked intersections one after another, the boiled egg knew that Luke had already made a move.

The movement was unsurprisingly loud. The boiled egg thought to himself, it was really the style of a little brat.

At this time, Hill hurriedly walked into the office: "Sir, a meteorite is coming. ”

Meteorite? What meteorite? The boiled egg didn't react for a while.

Hill gave a detailed account of what he had gotten.

At the same time as receiving the president's call, S.H.I.E.L.D. had also learned the news from its own channels. And mobilized the authority to calculate the first-hand information of the asteroid's orbit.

After hearing this, the boiled egg suddenly felt a headache. How did it all come together?

Having said that, Lu Dan did not dare to hesitate, and immediately said solemnly: "Give me the connection to the International Security Council." ”

The members of the International Security Council unanimously agree that this is a major threat to all of humanity. However, countries also agree that there is no need to release it to the outside world for the time being.

The end result of the connection was that the countries approved S.H.I.E.L.D. to use nuclear bombs.

However, then an embarrassing situation arose.

Striking asteroids that are still orbiting in outer space requires long-distance launch vehicles, but none of the spacecraft currently in service in various countries are suitable. In the aftermath of the Zetari incident, countries have set their sights on the threat from outer space, but time is still short, and many things are still being made.

"Then use the railgun." A member of a certain country said.

The boiled egg had to explain that the railgun could only attack when the asteroid was close to Earth. But the tonnage of this asteroid is too large for the consequences of a close-range attack to be unpredictable, and large pieces of debris can pose a devastating threat to Earth.

The members of the International Security Council sat on wax, and finally put all the blame on the boiled eggs.

The reason is that since they support S.H.I.E.L.D., when it comes to this kind of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal affairs, S.H.I.E.L.D. must find a way to solve it.

Boiled eggs thought of a person, Tony.

But then, he found that Tony could not be reached.

Even Pepper doesn't know where Tony is now. Pepper indicates that Tony is not at the villa right now, let alone at Stark Tower. After informing her a few days ago, the person was gone.

The boiled egg almost dropped the phone.

Play missing for him at this time? Didn't Stark stay in the villa all day and wouldn't leave the door? Why do they all learn to lose contact unilaterally now?

The boiled egg was scorched for a while......

Call Luke back? But the boiled egg was unwilling to let the apostle be exposed in this way. According to his observations, the rare mission is already on track.

"Find! Send everyone to Stark! The boiled egg waved his hand and ordered.

S.H.I.E.L.D. was immediately fully operational. All agents below level 7 and above level 2 all over the world were ordered to stop all their work and were assigned a new mission: no matter where Stark was hiding, as long as he was still on Earth, he must find out!

Time passes minute by minute, and the braised egg is like a year.

A few hours later, agents around the world found nothing, and reports said that there had been no trace of Iron Man in any place recently.

"Where the hell is this guy hiding? Could it be that you can only call the little kid back and cancel this mission? ”

The boiled egg felt that it was a pity. He believed that Luke would be able to find Pierce and solve this big problem for S.H.I.E.L.D. But now I have to give up this great opportunity.

Just then, Hill came to report, and thankfully, he finally found Tony.

The boiled egg immediately got up: "Where is he!?" ”

Tony actually bought the property across the street from Luke's house. In the last few days, Tony has been keeping an eye on Luke's house, intending to buy alloy as soon as possible to test his suspicions, but he never returns.

After learning Tony's location, the boiled egg was completely depressed.

The boiled egg didn't know what Tony was trying to do, and he vaguely guessed that it must have something to do with Luke.

The agent at the door raised his hands tremblingly: "Mr. Stark, don't get me wrong, I'm from S.H.I.E.L.D., please come with us." ”

I saw Tony's steel suit fully armed, his palm cannon aimed at the agent's face, and a tired voice came from under the suit: "I limited you to five seconds to explain your intention." ”

Tony's anxiety disorder has recently shifted to victimization paranoia.

He began to get a little suspicious. He has hid here, and he will be found, which means that these people have come to find him.

In fact, it's true, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents all over the world are looking for him right now.

The agent quickly handed Tony a cell phone and motioned for Tony to answer the call.

Tony cautiously took it into his hand, fearing it was a disguised bomb. Tony put the phone far away in his ear, only to hear the serious voice of the boiled egg coming from the phone: "Stark, I don't have time to explain, get in the car." ”

"Fury?"

Tony rolled his eyes. The heart said that if you let me get in the car, I will get on? Where do I put my face?

"I want a good reason." Tony was unmoved.

Lu Dan knew how stubborn Tony was, so he had to sigh and patiently explain: "A meteorite big enough to bombard us all into the sky is falling, is this reason enough?" ”

"Meteorite?" Tony was stunned when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Jarvis, what's going on?" ”

Jarvis quickly retrieved the internal NASA data and showed the asteroid trajectory to Tony.

After reading it, Tony's face changed a few times. "Where are you?" He asked the boiled eggs.

"Washington."

"10 minutes to arrive." After Tony finished speaking, he hung up the communication without saying a word, and then walked out of the house and took off on the spot. The figure of Iron Man rushed into the sky, and immediately disappeared with a leap of air. The agent on the ground was left blank.

As a result, in less than 5 minutes, the boiled egg saw Tony.

The Mark 8 sped from New York to Washington at a speed of Mach 4.2.

After Tony understood the specific situation, he said to Jarvis, "Launch Mark 39." ”

"Please wait, sir."

After a few more minutes, the white-painted Mark 39, codenamed "Gemini", landed unmanned on the deck of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.

Tony quickly broke away from the Mark 8, replaced with the Mark 39, and piloted this suborbital armor into the sky.

The Mark 39 carries a booster pack and a zero-gravity maneuvering thruster, is equipped with a high-powered concussion cannon, and is best at fighting meteorites.

In fact, this was the real purpose of Tony's original design of the Mark 39. It's just because of the operation to rescue Luke that it was made in advance. The meteorite threat has always been a sharp blade hanging over the earth's head. Tony certainly understands.

There are more than 1 million asteroids lurking around the Earth, and a few may fall on a given day. In many cases, telescopes do not detect asteroids beyond their safe distance from Earth.

The Mark 39 was created specifically for this situation and to deal with these asteroid threats.

With Iron Man on the horse, the crisis was finally resolved.

After seeing the asteroid marker disappear completely on the screen, the boiled egg secretly wiped a cold sweat. Xindao is fortunate that he still has Iron Man.

Tony focused on the asteroid's orbit, why did it turn at an acute angle at that time?

Is this normal? Are you kidding me? He studied astronomy in vain?

Tony smelled of conspiracy.
