Chapter 242 Launch of the Ark

The launch of the Ark spacecraft was broadcast live worldwide. More than a billion people watched the symbolic launch on television or online.

This time, human beings stepped out of the earth more firmly and decisively than ever before. It's no longer Armstrong's one-day trip to the moon.

It is the first step of earth civilization stepping into the star sea, and everyone is concerned about this launch. Tony Stark was originally the initiator of this plan and the designer of the Ark spacecraft.

He was supposed to be doing the pre-launch ceremony and speeches, but right now Tony doesn't look like he wants to go to Houston.

So the special address on the telecast was temporarily replaced by officials from the Space Center in Houston.

Li Jie watched the officials' speeches on TV absent-mindedly, a bunch of useless clichés. It's nothing more than all kinds of nonsense that sounds exciting.

Nothing really meaningful at all. Both Li Jie and Tony felt drowsy. Pepper is now speaking in the lobby of Stark Industries.

Because the launch of the Ark spacecraft is an important step for the Stark Industries Group, high-level speeches to boost morale and the like must be done.

But now Tony is not in the mood to boost the morale of the company today. He is wearing his steel armor and sitting cross-legged on the floor of his office.

"Do you think everyone will be happy today?" Tony said sarcastically, watching the speech of the official who seemed to be pumped with chicken blood on TV.

"I think that if there is no other spacecraft that Latvia is planning to launch at the same time, then I think the United States and other five permanent countries will be very happy." Li Jie's tone was very indifferent.

"But I don't know if other countries are happy. Because Wuchang wants to monopolize the development of the moon and exclude other countries."

"Yes, my fault. I underestimated the ambitions of politicians." Tony said with a sigh.

"I thought that by drawing out the rules of the game, everyone can play the game according to the rules. Although this cannot be said to be 100% fair, at least everyone still has a chance."

"But I didn't expect that the makers of the rules of the game were the first to break the rules."

Li Jie ignored Tony's words, but watched the countdown to the take-off of the Ark spaceship on the TV screen.

"Are other countries reacting to the incident in Latvia? About Russia's attack on the fifteen countries in Eastern Europe. Although Russia made an excuse that seems to be past." Li Jie suddenly talked about this topic.

"But the fact that Russia fired missiles at Latvia to attack their spacecraft, I'm afraid it can no longer hide what Russia wants to do."

"Yes, if Russia's missile attack plan is successful, then I'm afraid it will be better." Tony said with a frown.

"But Latvia not only blocked Russia's missile attack, but also fought vigorously in the subsequent counterattack." Tony couldn't help laughing when he said that, he didn't know if he was mocking Russia or Wuchang.

"The alliance of Britain, France and Germany should actually have torn up the last fig leaf of the European Union organization. The seemingly strong European Union may now come to the end of disintegration." Li Jie expressed to Tony while rubbing his chin and organizing his words My own opinion.

"Led by Latvia, the temporarily formed New Eastern European Organization has become the second largest power in Europe. Moreover, Latvia's resilience seems to have been expected by many countries." Li Jie slowly analyzed, Tony Listen carefully.

"Now Dum has the ability to mine the moon, and at the same time, he has also shown part of his military strength. It doesn't need to be very strong, it just needs to be able to maintain the war in the current situation. Tony, do you think Europe and even other Asian countries will how?"

"You mean to form a new group to compete with the Wuchang? No, I think it is still a bit difficult. The Wuchang's GDP and war potential are higher than all other countries on earth combined." Tony understood what Li Jie wanted to say what is it.

It is nothing more than whether a country that has hit a snag here in Wuchang will choose to stand on the side of Latvia when choosing to stand in line.

"It's really difficult, but maybe there will be crazy leaders who gamble like this for the country's luck. But I think most people will still choose a wait-and-see attitude. It's a bit early to stand in line. Unless it is a country that has a blood feud with Russia." Tony Help Li Jie continue the analysis.

"The real choice will not be now. You must know that even if the Ark spacecraft successfully landed on the moon and the mining plan goes well, it may take January or February next year to return to Earth with the first batch of helium-3."

"That's when other countries are really ready to stand in line. So I pessimistically predict that the war in Eastern Europe may calm down in the next month, as long as no leaders go crazy."

"But the flames of war will not stop. I am afraid it will last for as long as a year. And all countries may start preparing for war, and the real war will begin in a year's time."

"At that time, the truly terrible war will come. Not all leaders are rational. At that time, any misfire will trigger a war that will sweep the world."

"However, a year-long war is enough to turn several small countries in Eastern Europe into tribal countries." Li Jie's words were exaggerated, but they were a true portrayal of the war.

At that time, there will be a lack of clothing and food, and the regression of civilization and technology is almost inevitable.

"Yes, that's why I didn't object to your plan even though it was dangerous, and I was even willing to cooperate." Tony was referring to Li Jie's crazy plan to introduce an enemy to the earth.

"Do you think we have a chance to talk to Dum?" Li Jie's thoughts now are always beyond Tony's expectations.

"I don't think a dictator would negotiate with you calmly, and what qualifications do you have to negotiate with Dum." Tony didn't mock Li Jie, but just stated a simple truth.

"We now know what Doom wants to do. Although it is absurd, I'm afraid he really wants to resurrect his mother. However, I have heard people talk about the resurrection of the dead." Li Jie said in his memory Digging deep.

"Do you still remember the hand and society before? The beast we fought at that time came from hell. And I have heard before that the hand and society's mortal enemy, the leader of the innocent society, said that the hand and society will resurrect the dead."

"So you want to be one step ahead of Doom and find his mother's soul as a bargaining chip?" Tony's facial features were all wrinkled together.

"Why does this plan sound like we're more of the villains? Doom is a hero who saves his mother."

"We are planning even worse plans for Tony." Li Jie shook his head and said.

"I'm just making more careful preparations and planning for our seemingly more evil plan. There are now two Ark Energy in the world."

"As long as it can be controlled, the lifeline of energy can be strangled. It can also make our plan more rigorous."

"No, no, it's not our plan, it's yours. It's your plan. I'm crazy why I promised you, a madman." Tony regretted a little.

"Nightcrawler, you're looking more and more like a super villain now."

"Maybe. But I think I now know where to find Jinbin and Doom. Let's point all the satellites that can be mobilized at Dongyang." Li Jie said.

"Take a good rest, maybe it won't be long. We will go through a more intense battle again."

Li Jie was about to leave Tony's office as he spoke, because he knew who he should go to now.

"Are you really going to change the world?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I wish you success, although I have failed at the moment." Tony whispered to Li Jie's back.

"If no politician is credible, then I need an underground front organization. At least when I'm hotheaded, I need someone to stop me." Tony returned to the office, muttering to himself.
