193: Project Insight satellites
readx;?ps: Asking for tips and monthly pass support, thank you!
At the same time that Jackson robbed Treve and successfully rescued him, Danny and Stark were still in the Chinese restaurant, enjoying the delicious Chinese dim sum leisurely.
The two didn't know anything about the prison robbery thousands of miles away, although Trev was sent to prison by Danny, but he didn't expect that such a down-and-out stage actor would have a real Manchurian to rescue Treve, a fake "Manchurian". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Although Danny had watched all the Marvel movies in his previous life, he definitely hadn't seen this kind of plot that didn't appear in the feature film, so it was impossible to know that there would be such a plot.
Therefore, Danny, who was chatting with Stark, didn't expect this kind of turn at all, the two talked and laughed, and chatted widely, although Stark's personality is not good, but in fact, the two still have a lot of common language.
For example, both of them are rich people with a lot of money, and they have high requirements for the quality of life, and they also have their own views on the development of science and technology, and they both have superhero identities, and both of them have cooperation with S.H.I.E.L.D.
Both Danny and Stark have different positions and roles with S.H.I.E.L.D., a violent intelligence organization, the former because he sought refuge in the first place, and the latter because his father had close ties to S.H.I.E.L.D.
The former took the initiative to join S.H.I.E.L.D., but the latter was involuntarily involved, but no matter what the reason for the two at the beginning, now they have a common goal, that is, to cut off their relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D.
It is not difficult to understand this, the former Danny is because he knows that S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra are two sides of the same coin. If he continues to follow S.H.I.E.L.D., maybe he and the umbrella will be doomed in the future.
The latter Stark is because he found out that he doesn't like the idea of S.H.I.E.L.D., as a person at the top of society, Stark was born to be materially carefree, but as an alternative rich second generation, after experiencing the kidnapping of that twist of fate. Stark is no longer so self-centered, although he is still very arrogant, but he also has a bit of a prodigal son's sense of turning back, and in the face of a violent intelligence organization like S.H.I.E.L.D., Stark is a little resistant from the bottom of his heart.
So when it comes to S.H.I.E.L.D., the atmosphere between the two becomes a little strange, Danny is thinking about the changes between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra, but Stark is thinking about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s actions, such as Project Insight.
"Surely you know about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Project Insight, right? After all, he can be regarded as a high-level agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Stark took a sip of his tea. Raising his head to look at Danny, he asked.
"Of course you know, you've heard about it?" Danny admitted without hesitation, after all, although Project Insight is a secret of S.H.I.E.L.D., Stark, as an advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D. and a member of the Avengers, must know about this plan.
"And what do you think? For or against? Stark asked directly, the two had known each other for a long time, and he was curious to know what Danny thought about the plan.
Hearing Stark's question, Danny looked up at the other party's expression. found that Stark was also looking at him intently, and said with a soft smile: "What's the use of what I see." I didn't make the plan, and I can't say anything for it or against it. ”
Stark shook his head and said: "Of course I know, I also know that S.H.I.E.L.D. must be very wary of you, if you hadn't joined S.H.I.E.L.D. early to gain a certain amount of trust, your Cobra army would never want to be stable, after all, that kind of combat power will be feared by anyone." ”
Stark's words left Danny unable to refute. Because he is not right at all, S.H.I.E.L.D., as a violent intelligence organization, hides countless secrets, and is a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the world.
For Danny, it started out to seek shelter from S.H.I.E.L.D. Protecting himself and Andrew and others, he later established a protective umbrella with the help of his family, and he annexed the Cobra organization, and Danny's power increased greatly.
In this case, no one will continue to stay in S.H.I.E.L.D. willingly, but there is a saying that it is easy to get on the ship and difficult to get off the ship, and it is not so easy to join S.H.I.E.L.D. and want to get out.
"You're right, especially since the Security Council is very uncomfortable about this, if it weren't for Fury's help to say a lot of good things, and then I invested a lot of money in Project Insight, and exchanged a lot of benefits with those old guys, they wouldn't have let me go easily." Danny replied with a wry smile.
Thinking of the content of the cooperation between the Umbrella and S.H.I.E.L.D., Danny was smiling but actually bleeding from his heart, and the Umbrella not only provided S.H.I.E.L.D. with a large number of T-virus potions and finished steel suits at an ultra-low price, but also provided a lot of funds needed for the Insight Project for free.
Of course, the umbrella is not without any benefits, at least S.H.I.E.L.D. will support the umbrella in secret, and it has also given Danny a lot of advanced technology, but compared with the umbrella's pay, it is not a little bit worse, to put it bluntly, S.H.I.E.L.D. is cutting Danny's meat.
But Danny could only endure it, he didn't want to fall out with S.H.I.E.L.D. like this, because he was still waiting for S.H.I.E.L.D. to fall down and accept the "wealth" of S.H.I.E.L.D.! If you fall out now, it will not be convenient to act in the future.
"No wonder the Insight Project is progressing so fast, it turns out that you have invested your funds!" After listening to Danny's words, Stark suddenly realized: "They are about to complete the first phase of the insight plan, that is, the launch plan of the geosynchronous satellite, and S.H.I.E.L.D. intends to invite me to observe. ”
"Synchronous satellite launches? When? Why didn't I know, and why did I invite you? Danny asked four questions in a row because he was really confused and didn't know anything.
Seeing Danny's puzzled look, Stark laughed, "Haha! It seems that you are really worthy of the name, and they don't even tell you this. ”
Danny, who was teased by Stark, had a very ugly face, because Stark was right, he was a wronged man, and he spent money on the other party but didn't notify him, which was really infuriating.
"Okay, let's not laugh at you, let's talk about geostationary satellites briefly, which is the first phase of the overall insight program, that is, the use of satellites to achieve global monitoring and prepare for subsequent plans." Stark teased Danny for a moment, then paused for a sip of tea and explained.
"Satellite global surveillance? So powerful? How much does that cost? Danny was taken aback, it wasn't easy to monitor the world with satellites, and if you had to follow the Insight plan, you would need to have thousands of satellites.
"It's not as terrible as you think, S.H.I.E.L.D. is not a big country, they will integrate the original satellite network, and after launching a new batch of satellites as the main body, they can combine the two systems into a monitoring network all over the world." Stark explained with a smile.
Danny nodded to understand, he didn't think S.H.I.E.L.D. would rebuild a satellite network, the cost of which was a bottomless pit, you must know that the famous Global Positioning System (GPS), only twenty-four satellites cost 30 billion US dollars.
Of course, these 30 billion are not only the value of twenty-four satellites, but also include a larger ground control and reception system, and S.H.I.E.L.D. only needs to launch a batch of brand new satellites this time.
"But why would they invite you to watch? What's going on with you here? Danny asked curiously.
"Because I gave them the satellite technology." Stark's words surprised Danny and couldn't figure out why he did this, not to mention that Stark had shut down the weapons department, and his sense of S.H.I.E.L.D. alone gave him no reason to do so.
"I know what you're thinking, do you think I've turned off Stark weapons and don't like S.H.I.E.L.D. much, but why are you willing to help them?" Stark laughed and said, "That's because I had a quid pro quo with Fury." ”
"Conditions? What conditions? Danny asked.
"It has something to do with the Avengers, after the Battle of New York, why do you think the Avengers will be so free? It's not because I don't want to be constrained by S.H.I.E.L.D., so I exchanged some terms with Fury. Stark replied in a nonchalant tone, "I just heard about Project Insight, and knew that they needed a new type of satellite, so I found some useless technology in exchange for the freedom of the Avengers." ”
After listening to Stark's explanation, Danny finally understood the reason, in fact, the matter is very simple, it is nothing more than that the Security Council is not at ease with the Avengers and wants to play some means to control them, but as an unruly Stark, how can he be willing to be controlled, but like Danny, Stark does not want to fall out with S.H.I.E.L.D.
So, in order to get free, Stark used a similar method to Danny, using technology to buy Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. to say good things for the Avengers, but one is with money, and the other is with wisdom and technology, no wonder Stark laughed like that when he heard that Danny was wronged, the root cause is this.
"It's as simple as that? From what I know about you, I haven't done anything about his self-centered nasty character, Stark also has one thing that he never wants to suffer dumb losses, this time S.H.I.E.L.D. calculated him, he will definitely get back to the field.
"Hey, hey! As you can guess, the satellite technology was developed by me for Jarvist back then, and I only launched seven of them myself, which is not enough at all, and this time S.H.I.E.L.D. said that it wanted to launch satellites, so I gave this technology, and then quietly left a backdoor in the satellite control program. Speaking of this, Stark couldn't help but laugh: "After S.H.I.E.L.D. launches all the satellites, I will be able to use the entire satellite network for free, and I will no longer need to hack spy and military satellites all day long."
