In the eyes of the media and the public, this new satellite launch plan is a big news that Iron Man Stark is unwilling to be lonely and made out again, but in fact, it is S.H.I.E.L.D. and NASN who are in charge of the plan, and even the US Air Force is involved, otherwise how could it be possible to launch a satellite at Vandenberg Air Force Base.

Speaking of Vandenberg Air Force Base, it is one of the two major space launch centers in the United States today, located on the coast of southern California, directly north of Cape Aguero, Vandenberg Air Force Base was originally known as Camp. Base Cook, which was chosen as a missile base in 1957, was only changed to its current name in 1958.

Vandenberg Air Force Base is the most important military space launch base in the United States, which is mainly used for strategic missile weapons testing, weapon system combat testing, and the launch of various military satellites and polar satellites.

Since 1958, when the base launched the world's first polar-orbiting satellite, Discoverer 1, on a Thor rocket, it has had the highest number of space launches in the United States, and has sent more than 450 satellites into polar orbit, covering most of the earth's regions and carrying out outer atmosphere experiments, weather forecasting, earth resources exploration, navigation aids and military missions.

Its geographical location is very favorable for space experiments, located at 34°37'N, 120°35'W, not only can launch high-inclination orbit satellites to the west, but also can launch polar orbit satellites to the south, just making up for the shortcomings of another space base, the Kennedy Space Center, which can only be launched to the east.

Topographically, the entire site is surrounded by dry and barren heaths, with wind-sheltered Burton Terraces, as well as many canyons, dunes, clay and gravel layers, covering an area of approximately 270,972 square kilometers, including 5,149 kilometers of coastline, especially extending to the west and southwest. Directly into the Pacific Ocean, avoiding populated areas and industrial cities, the measurement and monitoring environment is very good. Survey tracking stations are located off the coast of California, Hawaii and the Pacific Islands.

Plus Vandenberg Air Force Base as a historic space launch base in the United States. It has the most complete and complete space launch facilities, for example, the launch site is the No. 10 space launch site built in the 50s.

According to Stark, the Air Force used the No. 10 Space Launch Site to send 31 satellites into outer space, but they were decommissioned in 1980 and were in a state of care, but their equipment is still intact, and now it is back in use, which can maximize the use of most of the ground facilities at the original launch base.

Other than that. There are many advantages here, such as convenient transportation, aviation, railways, roads, and sea transportation are very smooth, and the climate here is mild, and there is less rainfall, which is very conducive to space launches.

All of the above is what Stark babbles to Danny when he is bored, and in his words, S.H.I.E.L.D. attaches great importance to this satellite launch program, in addition to cooperating with NASN. The U.S. Air Force was also contacted specifically to make sure everything went smoothly.

Danny and Stark, with their iconic uniforms, walked unimpeded all the way to the satellite launch control hall. Much like the scenes often seen in movies, the control hall is full of staff members who are busy checking the data of rocket launchers and new satellites to ensure that the launch plan can go smoothly.

The timer on the screen at the front of the control hall showed that the official launch time was less than half an hour away, although it was later than the agreed time, but Stark and Danny didn't care about that, although one of them paid for it, and the other took the pot. But the two really didn't take this to heart, and S.H.I.E.L.D. and NASN had no way to take them.

The two of them walked into the hall. It was discovered by many people, and many staff members turned their heads curiously. Whispering to the two, they are also excited about the arrival of Iron Man and Danny, after all, superheroes are popular everywhere, especially alternative guys like Iron Man.

Seeing that his arrival caused a lot of commotion, Stark not only did not feel the slightest inappropriateness, but after opening the mask, he waved to everyone, as if a Hollywood star was walking the red carpet.

This made Danny, who was following Stark, awkward, and he finally felt Stark's personality for himself, in this case, when he was walking the red carpet, he didn't know that the satellite was about to be launched! Don't you see the leaders of NASN looking at the excited staff with unhappy faces?

The leaders of NASN didn't dare to do anything to Stark, not to mention Stark's own status and fame, but to say that this time they pushed Stark to the public according to the instructions of S.H.I.E.L.D., so that when they faced Stark, their momentum in their hearts was a little weaker.

Therefore, after seeing the commotion caused by Stark, they could only lose their temper with the staff, but they themselves hurriedly walked up to Stark and said enthusiastically: "Welcome, Mr. Stark, and the doctor of the Super Clan, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

It was a gray-haired white old man who was wearing a straight suit to hold it very well, at least Danny couldn't see the specific age of the other party, but Danny knew that the other party was the director of NASN, called Mark. Wade.

"You're welcome, we're just here to join in the fun, and you still need to get down to business." Stark said with a smile after stopping his sassy behavior and returning to normal.

"But we still have to thank Mr. Stark for his technology, and I have to say that the new satellite you designed is so powerful, which provides a lot of reference and inspiration for our research, and you are worthy of a genius." Mark. Wade was very excited when he talked about the new satellite.

But this is not to blame the old white man for being too emotional, because Stark's new satellite is indeed very powerful, unlike the traditional satellite, which can only have a single function, the new satellite integrates most of the functions of the traditional satellite.

It includes communication transmission, positioning and navigation, photographic reconnaissance, topographic exploration, marine surveillance, missile early warning and other purposes, and even Stark has designed an anti-satellite laser weapon, which can be used to intercept, attack, destroy, and destroy enemy satellites in orbit.

When Stark said this to Danny, Danny's mind was blank, but he kept scolding his mother in his heart: Could this be the effect of the protagonist's aura, Stark's genius brain is too perverted! I also let others not mix.

Later, after careful thinking and understanding, I realized that the new satellite had actually been designed by Stark a long time ago, and the time was earlier than the steel suit. And this is not Stark's achievement alone, many of them are actually the results of Stark's R&D department, and even the contribution of Stark's father Howard.

Before the transformation. Stark Industries is not an arms dealer in the traditional sense, it is essentially a high-tech business group. The profits from the arms overshadow other achievements.

Otherwise, after Stark closed the weapons department, why Stark Industries was able to transform successfully in such a short period of time is due to Little Pepper, but in fact, it is more because of the very good foundation of Stark Industries.

Although Stark is arrogant, his nature is not bad, even if he no longer likes the white old man in front of him, he still smiles and chats with the other party. Then, on the grounds that the launch time was approaching, he took Danny to find a place to sit down.

Mark. Wade, as the director of NASN, has a high position, not to mention the high power, the key is that this launch plan has attracted a lot of media and public attention because of Iron Man, it can be said that the whole world is now staring here, if the launch is not a problem, then he will definitely be dumbfounded, so he doesn't have much leisure to accompany Stark.

Minutes and seconds passed, and soon the time for the launch of the satellite was approaching. During this period, Stark told Danny a lot about satellite launches, such as satellites can be divided into low-orbit satellites, medium-orbit satellites, high-orbit satellites, geosynchronous orbit satellites, geostationary orbit satellites, and so on.

Most of the new satellites launched this time are satellites in geosynchronous orbit. Of course, this is only the first part, and there are some satellites that S.H.I.E.L.D. plans to launch slowly in the future, but this new satellite is the main body of the satellite network in the future, or the main node, and its role is very important, so it will be so fanfare.

While the two were chatting, it was finally time for the satellite to be launched.

"Ready for launch!" One of the controllers said.

"Countdown, 59, 58, 57, 56, 55..."

"Wind speed 12 kilometers per hour."

"Remove the fuel pipes."

"All the equipment is working fine."

"Roger!"

As the countdown ticks, the voices in the control hall rise and fall. The atmosphere was getting more and more tense, and even Stark had a rare nervous look on his face. Not to mention the NASN leaders, all of whom are engrossed in the data and real-time situation on the big screen.

But at this moment. A staff member stood up and said nervously: "There is a UFO approaching, close to Mach 2.3 per hour, and it will arrive in thirty seconds." ”

Hearing this news, everyone was shocked, could it be that someone wanted to sabotage this launch plan, so they used missiles to attack? That's what everyone in the room thought.

Even Stark thought so, but Stark's reaction was not to worry here, but to fly directly towards the outside of the control hall, causing a strong air current, but no one complained, they also hoped that Iron Man would succeed in intercepting him, and even Danny was nervous.

Danny didn't want the launch to fail, not to mention that the funds used for this plan were his, if it was really attacked by a missile, the liquid fuel and oxidizer in the rocket could raze the launch site to the ground, and even he would not be spared.

So Danny was also very annoyed by this sudden and unexpected attack, afraid that he would not be too late, so he did not follow Stark's route, but teleported to the sky above the launch site, and then soon discovered the so-called UFO.

But to Danny's shock, he thought that the UFO was some kind of missile, but Danny found out that it was a person, a person wearing white unknown armor, a person wearing armor who was flying towards him at double the speed of sound.

ps: Today is Christmas Eve, Lao Qi wishes everyone a happy Christmas Eve, and tomorrow's Christmas is also happy, Lao Qi has nothing else to say, I can only say that I listened to Christmas songs on Christmas Eve and then coded words, this feeling is very bleak, I hope you can see that Lao Qi is so pitiful, you can support Lao Qi more, and finally thank [Annihilation Tyrant] for the reward.
