"We only had three master cores, so there was absolutely no room for error in launching......"

General Ross looked at the old general standing on the stage, and the old general said in a sonorous tone: "In the past five years, we have invested countless manpower and material resources to finally create the core of the master mold and the launcher that can launch it near the sun......

When he said this, Rose found that the faces of the two generals in the front row had become a little unpleasant.

Actually, Ross also knows what is going on.

The Red Gate Orchid plan says that it is extermination, but in fact, it is nothing more than using superweapons as bargaining chips to negotiate with mutants.

At that time, Professor X and Magneto were too superior in terms of force, and the military coveted this force, but they did not gain much from them, and in order to reverse the situation, they planned to create a bargaining chip of their own.

However, five years ago, mankind struggled to launch a probe to Mars, and it was impossible to develop a launch device that could directly hit the sun.

It was under this technical background that the Red Gate Orchid Project was proposed, and at that time, the upper limit of the military's imagination of the radiation range of weapons was the solar system.

At the time, they thought that if they could place a superweapon near the sun, they would be able to solve the mutant problem once and for all.

In the first three years of the five years, they smashed down countless wealth, pooled the military expenses of the three armies, and finally reluctantly built this outrageously expensive equipment.

If you want to say why it is so expensive, you have to start with the so-called mother mold core.

The "master model" is a super artificial intelligence developed by the military, and the military uses a variety of means to force many scientists who have mastered the technology to hand over their technology, and use these technologies to develop a super artificial intelligence.

However, even the scientists they can find to study artificial intelligence are not as good as Stark alone, so this super artificial intelligence is not as good as Jarvis, and it has a fatal flaw, that is, it needs a special core to carry its powerful computing core.

Although this special core does not look big in the design drawings, it also depends on the size of the entire Red Gate Orchid base.

In the design, the Red Gate Orchid base should be stable and hovering near the Sun, about a hundredth the size of the Earth.

The core installed inside the base is about the height of a 20-story building, and most of the parts require vibranium.

At that time, vibranium was outrageously expensive, and the military tearfully took out the old bottom, and barely built three cores, two of which were still condensed versions.

What happened later, many people know, Schiller came into this world about three years ago, and then, like a wild horse, the earth rushed towards the unknown path.

Schiller stepped on the accelerator, and mankind accelerated into the cosmic age, and the Iron Demon God accelerated again, and the entire solar system became a human territory within reach.

The military never dreamed that their grand plan would now look like a clown.

At the beginning, they were very far-sighted, according to the speed of human development, if they want to touch the sun, it will take at least hundreds of thousands of years, as long as they can use advanced technology to build a base near the sun, not only can they threaten mutants, but also achieve more ambitions.

Driven by such a dynamic, the U.S. military has exploded with endless potential, especially the Tartu faction within it, whose philosophy has always been "the army, not just the army."

The plan that had been running smoothly for the first three years, although it was like a gold-swallowing beast, was going relatively smoothly, the core was built, the launcher was successfully completed, and then, the Iron Demon God came.

From then on, Stark, who was seriously paranoid, began to throw a lot of technology without money.

It doesn't matter if the rocket can't fly, if it falls off the day before, you can get a series of design drawings gifted by nature the next day, it doesn't matter if the satellite orbit is unstable, you are only responsible for sending it up, and naturally someone will maintain it for you.

In the next time, Stark incarnates tens of billions of subsidies to Stodo, whether you have the ability to explore space or not, as long as you want to explore, I will solve the technical problems.

After the advent of the Schiller Iron Curtain, most of the other countries also saw clearly, and if they did not rush forward to grab the cake, they would only be able to eat the scum in the back, and in the case of the violent explosion of global aerospace enthusiasm, one month to land on the moon, three months to explore Mars, and half a year to develop solar energy......

In just over a year, the attitude of human civilization towards the solar system has changed dramatically, before, I was from the solar system, and now, the solar system is mine.

In this case, throwing something around the sun is quite a novelty, but now the countries on the earth have either already thrown it or are planning to throw it, and even if you can fix it there, everyone will be able to do it sooner or later, and if you dare to fire, then no one will be better.

What makes the military feel even more distressed is that when they built those cores, the price of vibranium was at a high point, and in order to prevent the impact of price increases, they also hoarded a lot.

And now, thanks to the popularity of molten steel, it is only 1/10,000th to make the same thing.

Moreover, due to the explosive growth of technology, there is a generational gap between the technology of about five years ago and the current one, which has led to the fact that they have only now been able to be sure that they will be able to put the launch and transport devices that are several generations behind into the predetermined orbit.

And he is not completely sure, and he has to rely on Rose to ask his daughter for information near Mercury to prevent being knocked down by the guard weapons of the Mercury base.

In this way, the military became the pioneer of human exploration of the solar system, and it is not accurate to say that it was a pioneer.

It is also the nature of human beings to chase up and down, and the military launched this time, but also to catch ducks on the shelves, and now launch, it can also win over the forces that dislike mutants to participate in the solar system construction plan, and gain their favor, so as to get more support in the future.

Thinking of this, Ross looked up at the image of the transporter playing on the screen, and he also had to admit that compared with the slightly sci-fi equipment of human beings now, this thing looks a little too outdated, and now it is launched and discovered by other countries, and he thinks that Russia has started archaeology again.

But at this point, we can only bite the bullet, anyway, after launching, there is one more bargaining chip to negotiate with mutants, and maybe we can recover some losses from them.

Ross thought viciously, when the time comes to negotiate with those pesky mutants, he must let them bleed profusely, otherwise, how can he recover the losses of the military?

On the day of the launch, it was cloudless in New York, and all the generals were waiting at the launch center, standing behind the glass curtain wall of the upper floor, looking at the large screen monitoring the launch, and a researcher came over and said:

"We have launched satellites in advance to monitor the status of the equipment near the flight trajectory, and when the rocket is successfully launched, the generals can see the flight trajectory of the equipment......"

The leading old general nodded, looked at the screen again, the countdown was completed, and the rocket burst into the air.

Although it is not a very advanced technology in this era, it is completely different from traditional rockets, the ignition process is shorter, but the speed is faster, and almost instantly, there is no longer a rocket on the screen.

The screen switched to the sky above the earth, and the figure of the rocket speeding in the distance, the young generals who watched it were excited, but the more mature generals standing in the front row frowned, and they said:

"What's that thing in the upper right corner of the screen? Is the screen dirty? …… It doesn't seem to be, how can it still move? ”

"That'...... Looks like a ball? Am I reading it wrong? Why does it still seem to be glowing? ”

"Rockets! The ball that the rocket flew to!! No, it should be the ball that is in the way of the rocket, move it out of the way!!! ”

With a final roar, the picture lit up for a brief moment, and in the process of gradually extinguishing, the light of the explosion lit up, and rocket fragments flew everywhere.

In an instant, the firelight illuminated the dark night sky, and at this moment the universe was full of stars.

"What's going on!!!"

The old general in the lead roared angrily: "What did the rocket hit ?!" Why did it disintegrate?! Why didn't the device get out of the ?!! ahead of time ”

Soon, a pale-faced researcher came running over and said, "Hug ...... I'm sorry! Mr. Admiral! There is a space junk that we have not detected, which may be a ...... left behind by the previous rocket launches of various countries."

"This space junk is compressed by some special equipment, and its own gravity is abnormal, so our equipment is not safely disconnected, so ...... So ......"

The old general glared at him angrily and said, "You mean to say that the core that we spent a lot of money to make was completely ruined??!! ”

The researcher's legs began to tremble, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes...... But fortunately, we originally wanted to launch a lite version of the pathfinder first, so what we lost was an incomplete core, and the most important core had not yet been launched......"

The old general's face looked a little better, but he still said with a dark face: "If this happens again, you should know what the consequences will be, the Red Menlan plan will definitely not allow failure, continue to prepare for launch!" ”

After another week or so of preparation, the rocket was launched again, this time approaching Mercury according to the predetermined orbit and then moving closer to the Sun.

When this scene was monitored, the generals' faces finally improved, and Ross heard his colleagues next to him whisper: "It's all launched to this position, there should be no problem, right?" ”

"Is the equipment ready to be deployed? I think it's just the right distance, you see, that's the base of Mercury......."

"The equipment is out of the warehouse, hurry up! Expand! As long as the base can be anchored, the plan will be more than half successful......"

In a whisper, the last piece of the launch pod's casing fell off, and the device was ready to unfold in place.

Just when everything was going well, a striking laser appeared out of thin air, as if cutting the picture in half.

The generals instinctively covered their eyes with their arms, and when they opened them again, the equipment that had been initially unfolded was gone.

Everyone froze, and after a while, the researcher shouted, "We've been attacked by an unknown weapon!! Someone destroyed our research equipment!! It's an assault!! It's an assault!! ”

"What's going on?!" The old general roared: "Who attacked our equipment ?!" Isn't it Stark?! Contact him now!! ”

After a while, the researcher ran up and said, "General, our equipment was attacked by an unknown weapon, and it has been observed that it is not Stark's equipment, and the defensive weapons on the Mercury base have not been activated at all......"

Rose hurriedly stepped forward and said: "It can't be a defensive weapon over the Mercury base, we have already obtained the authorization code in advance, and we have avoided the output range of the main weapon, it is impossible to be knocked down silently like this......"

"So what do you say is going on?!!" The old general's chest was constantly rising and falling, and he had already lost his mind a little.

After all, as the proposer and executor of this plan, he knows better than anyone how much money they have lost in those few seconds.

"Find out who fired the !!" The old general's voice almost broke through the glass curtain wall, and he said: "We must make them pay the price, let them know what stupid things they have done!! ”

"Yes, they have to pay tenfold and hundredfold for this!!" Someone should make peace.

"Find it now! Find out who did it!! ”

"We're going to declare war on them!!"

At this time, another researcher came running and said:

"According to the signal sent back by the black box, the energy fluctuation of the weapon that destroyed the equipment is very similar to the rainbow bridge that appeared on Earth before, and it is suspected that it is the weapon of the Asgardian fleet......"

The generals, who had just been filled with righteous indignation, fell silent in an instant.
