With Johnny's self-recommendation, he just took Leon to visit a wave of Kennedy Space Center.
However, in the introduction of Johnny, a former NASA pilot, Leon did not get much useful information at all. It was all information about girls, such as which department had the hottest girls and which department girls were more open…
This man seems to be shown by Tony's upper body love, and in a few words, he can't do without his sister.
It is worth mentioning that the reason why Reed and others were able to launch a rocket at the Kennedy Space Center relied on Leon's personal relationship and a sum of scientific research funds.
Otherwise, private companies, where can they take rocket launches from NASA's territory casually…
For this doomed project, Nirvana Group has spent more than two billion dollars.
Not only that, the cooperation between Nirvana Group and Reed has also received close attention from the public. It has appeared on news programs several times and has become a hot topic of discussion.
Even Stark, who had been hiding in the villa's studio all day and busy upgrading the steel armor, made an unprecedented call to Leon and asked about this project.
In Stark's words, "Although I admire Reed's genius ideas, it is too risky to rush into space and study cosmic rays without us knowing enough."
In discourse, Stark is also not very optimistic about this project.
In the face of Tony's persuasion, Leon can't always say, "I don't care about risk or money, I just want to ensure the smooth birth of the Fantastic Four" and so on.
In the end, he could only say, "I was overwhelmed by the forward-looking nature of this project, and decided to support a wave", reminding Tony of his kindness and confuse the past.
Leon knew very well that once the spacecraft was ravaged by the cosmic current and caused a crash, the share price of Nirvana Group would have to fall by a few percentage points.
All in all, Nirvana Group will at least lose tens of billions of dollars in this project.
However, for Leon, as long as the Fantastic Four can be successfully "created", everything is worth it!
. . . . . .
"3…2…1…"
"emission!"
With an order from the monitoring center, only a loud "rumbling" sound was heard, and a large group of flames burst out of the bottom of the rocket that was vertically upward!
With the help of rocket boosters, the spacecraft named "Baxter One" slowly lifted off.
Carrying the vision for the future of human evolution and the expectation for the unknown space, the four of Reid embarked on a journey of cosmic cloud survey…
Standing at the best observation point, Lyon, who witnessed the entire rocket lift-off process, turned around abruptly after the rocket turned into a small black spot in the sky, and said to Oliver on the side:
"We should go back too…"
In his view, his work has been completed.
And next, all he has to do is one word:
wait!
. . . . . .
Leon returned to the scientific research center of the Nirvana Group, where there are enough high-end equipment and technical personnel to provide him with real-time information from space at any time.
"How's it going?"
"The spacecraft is operating normally and has reached low-Earth orbit."
"Where are the cosmic clouds?"
"It is estimated that in eight hours, thirty-seven minutes and fifty-eight seconds, it will arrive in low-Earth orbit on time and make close contact with the spacecraft."
After listening to the explanation from the technician, Leon couldn't help but look down at the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist and fell into thought.
If Leon remembers correctly, the cosmic cloud cluster that was originally expected to arrive in the orbit of the earth in seven or eight hours will suddenly accelerate at a certain point in time, and hit unsuspectingly at an unexpected speed. Spaceship!
In other words, cosmic clouds attacking the spacecraft where Reed and others are located can happen at any time!
Thinking of this, Leon suddenly felt that he was still ordering a takeaway, while eating and waiting…
At twelve thirty-seven at noon, as Leon expected, things still arrived as expected.
Just one hour after the spacecraft entered low-Earth orbit, it was originally expected to arrive at the cosmic cloud cluster at the predetermined coordinates more than eight hours later. It suddenly accelerated, more than seven hours in advance, and attacked the "Baxter 1" head-on. "!
Even in a hurry, Reed and others opened the energy shield, but the entire spacecraft was still attacked by a powerful cosmic current, all functions failed, and the ground command of the scientific research center was instantly lost.
The spacecraft that has lost the power to continue its navigation is like a helpless bird, falling rapidly toward the earth!
The accident happened suddenly, and everyone in the scientific research center couldn't help but make a noise. Roar couldn't believe what was happening before him.
"Oh My God!"
"Oh! God!"
Fortunately, Leon was prepared…
"Quick! Start the search algorithm immediately to calculate the exact location of the spacecraft's fall!"
When Reed was designing the spacecraft, just in case, the spacecraft was equipped with positioning hardware that could remotely track if contact was lost.
This also saved a little precious time for the entire rescue operation.
At Leon's reminder, the technicians woke up like a dream and rushed to the computer to connect to the Nirvana Group's server to perform quick calculations.
After a while, the calculation results will be released!
"The expected location of the fall is the North Pacific Ocean. The specific coordinates are 35 degrees 41 minutes north latitude and 50 degrees 23 minutes west longitude…"
As soon as the voice fell, Leon immediately turned his head, looked at Oliver, and said in a deep voice:
"Immediately organize a rescue team!"
Just as Leon was carrying out an intense and orderly rescue operation, the malfunctioning spacecraft, covered with orange flames, broke through the atmosphere and entered the earth like a falling meteorite!
As calculated, only a few minutes later, the rapidly falling spacecraft came into close contact with the North Pacific Ocean.
Only a "bang" was heard, and water splashed all over!
Due to the material used in the spacecraft, the density is much smaller than that of sea water.
Therefore, half an hour later, when the rescue team rushed to the crash site, they only saw the wreckage of a spacecraft whose surface was burnt to black floating on the slightly rippling sea…
When Leon, who was staying in the scientific research center, received a message from the rescue team, he let down the big rock that had been hanging in my heart.
I don't know if it is lucky or pig's feet halo. The four of Reed have experienced such a serious accident, except for some small bumps, there is no other major injury!
This made Leon even more convinced that the birth of the Fantastic Four was a secret arrangement.
The four people who were unconscious were sent to a medical center under the Nirvana Group for further examination and treatment.
At the same time, because of the unexpected accident of the spaceship crash, the outside world has become a mess…
