Chapter 1650: Dr. Osborne
While the Aurora Legion was expending huge manpower and material resources to build the northern city fortress group, Zhou Qingfeng took the opportunity to fly to French Guiana in South America.
The Kourou Cosmodrome in French Guiana is the only space launch site in France and is the main venue for the European Space Agency's space activities. After the cataclysm, this remote corner far away from North America and the world suffered relatively little damage.
When the Aurora Legion developed to South America, it has always adopted the strategy of maintaining the original local power and only exerting commercial influence. However, the legion sent hundreds of troops to control this rare and complete space launch site very early, and now it is finally in use.
Although compared to the well-equipped and large Cape Canaveral 'Kennedy' Space Center, the Kourou Space Launch Site looks very shabby. However, the basically complete space launch facilities here still provide the minimum convenience for the Aurora Legion's satellite launch plan.
Otherwise, relying solely on Zhou Qingfeng's luck would be too much.
The Kourou space launch site is located near the equator, which is very helpful for rocket launches, and several telemetry receiving stations supporting it are basically complete, basically within the control range of the Aurora Legion, or within the sphere of influence of the allies.
At the moment, on the No. 2 launch pad of the launch site, a light-weight 'Kuaizhou-1A' rocket is undergoing final launch preparations. The fairing of this rocket carries four small communication satellites less than 100 kilograms, and the rocket will send them into low-Earth orbit at one time.
Zhou Qingfeng was sitting in the control room of the launch site, and the big screen in front of him displayed various data and real-time video of the rocket launch. Sitting on either side of him were two special envoys from the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave, both cheering for this rare space launch mission.
The four satellites launched this time will be used for communication networking to meet the basic communication services in the Americas. The lifespan of these satellites is only two or three years, which can be regarded as emergency.
"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, the rocket and satellite are in good condition, and the countdown to launch will begin soon. Will you personally be responsible for the button ignition?" The person in charge of the launch site came to invite Zhou Qingfeng.
Regarding this exciting event, Zhou Qingfeng said with a smile to the special envoys sent by the two forces around him: "This is a very historic moment, let's be together."
The two special envoys naturally agreed, so the three squeezed together in front of the launch console and falsely pressed the red launch button. Waiting for the launch countdown to start from nineteen to zero, the button was pressed, and the rocket on the big screen spewed out dazzling flames, pushing the rocket body into the air.
The rocket was successfully launched, and with the news that the rocket attitude was normal from various measurement and control stations, the applause and cheers in the control room of the launch site continued. Everyone was hugging and congratulating each other, and the two special envoys also shook hands with Zhou Qingfeng to express their inner joy.
Seeing the first and second stages of the rocket continue to fall off and become a tiny bright spot in the sky, Zhou Qingfeng was also very pleased. Almost three years have passed since the end of the wasteland, and human beings have begun to work hard to restore the normal way of life in the past. All of this was achieved in advance by him.
"Commander Hugo, congratulations. Your aerospace team is very good. They are the most precious wealth of our mankind." The special envoy from the Enclave looked enviously at the busy talents in the control room.
That's right, Zhou Qingfeng snatched all these talents from Florida. If he hadn't robbed them, most of these people would have died under the disaster of nuclear bomb washing. And without these people, Zhou Qingfeng's rockets and satellites would be useless.
Amid laughter and blessings, the four satellites carried on the rocket also entered orbit accurately. After a period of debugging, they will be transferred from the space launch center to the ground control stations of various forces, and will be responsible for the important work of long-distance satellite communication.
Taking advantage of his joy, Enclave's special envoy said to Zhou Qingfeng again: "Your Excellency, Legion Commander, I would like to extend my greetings to you on behalf of Minister Biden of our Ministry of the Interior. You can let us join this satellite launch plan, which will help improve the relationship between our two sides." It’s been a huge boost.”
Zhou Qingfeng smiled slightly, "Don't you represent your Excellency the President?"
"Do not,
I now represent Secretary Biden in my personal capacity. Actually our President is not kind to you and your regiment, but our ministers are not. He preferred to ease the relationship between the two of us in a cooperative way. "
Zhou Qingfeng just smiled at what Enclave envoy said. The disintegration of the Enclave has been widely circulated outside, and it sounds like a joke.
However, the special envoy said in a low and serious voice after finishing the courteous ceremony: "Your Excellency, Legion Commander, I am not only here to observe your satellite launch business, but also to remind you of something."
Zhou Qingfeng's smile remained unchanged, "Please tell me."
"There is Professor Osborn, have you heard of it? He has a female student named Nova who should work under your command." The special envoy said.
"Norman Osborn?" Zhou Qingfeng's eyes sharpened instantly, because this Dr. Osborn is not only Nova's teacher, but also the clone of the "Prince" in the real world. This is the guy who created the two human variants of mutants and zombies.
To some extent, it can be said that Norman Osborn is as dangerous as David Lawrence. These two guys are now starting to act independently after the death of the main body.
The special envoy nodded and said, "Our former President Corning Gray once sent a special team to Havana to assassinate you. Of course, the powerful army you formed can prevent you from being harmed. They are the second generation made by Dr. Osborne Mutants, powerful and dangerous."
"Aren't you going to tell me next time that this guy is out of control?" Zhou Qingfeng's heart was full of murderous intent. Compared to the sensible David Lawrence, this Dr. Osborne is obviously more difficult to figure out. God knows what he will do?
"To be exact, Dr. Osborne established a force himself. He set up several camps in northern Mexico, and more and more people began to gather around him. He claimed that he was instructed by God to make America great again. "
The special envoy looked at Zhou Qingfeng's expression while talking. Uncle Zhou sneered when he heard this, there are too many lunatics these days, and there is no shortage of such ones.
"This crazy guy recently sent assassins to assassinate several high-level officials in Enclave. This incident has made the high-level officials, including our Minister Biden, extremely angry. This dangerous guy who ignores the rules must be removed," the special envoy said.
It's really crazy...
Zhou Qingfeng took a deep breath, secretly considering the stakes - the new government of the Enclave certainly cannot tolerate the growth of a local regime, and the Biden minister behind the special envoy obviously wants to push the Aurora Legion out of the fire.
The special envoy continued: "We have recently received news that Dr. Osborn's research on mutants has made new progress. He began to distribute a strengthened drug called 'God's Kiss' to his subordinates, which can make people more powerful. Strong, as if truly blessed by God.
Because of this drug, Dr. Osborn has bewitched more and more followers, which has allowed his strength to grow far beyond our expectations. While we're doing everything we can to get this guy out, he's really out of control.
Dr. Osborn is not only hostile to our central government in the Enclave, he is also extremely hostile to the Aurora Legion, and as far as we know, he is trying to meddle in the situation in Mexico. Legion Master, you and your legion are under great threat. 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
