Chapter 2746 Star Core Rescue (VI)

Chapter 2720 Star Core Rescue (VI)

The two people opened their eyes wide when they heard the news. Schiller rushed to the window, looked back at Natasha and said, "Are you sure it wasn't arranged by Nick?!"

"How could he do such a risky thing?" Natasha said, "That's tens of thousands of lives. He's not a military. He wouldn't do it even if he was crazy!"

Schiller calmed down as quickly as possible. After thinking about it, Nick really shouldn't do such a thing. Although his moral bottom line is low, his position is very correct. He stands on the side of human civilization.

The space station can have accidents, because this is the first attempt of mankind after all, and mistakes are inevitable, but the space station cannot be destroyed. If it is hit hard when the first step is taken, it is very likely to greatly undermine the enthusiasm of various countries, and it will be difficult to carry out similar work in the future.

Nick just wanted to create a crisis so that everyone could work together to solve it. He didn't want to destroy the world. If such a large space station fell into the earth at high speed, as long as it landed on land, it might even penetrate the continental shelf directly. Then he would be a real sinner of mankind.

Schiller took a deep breath, took out his phone and dialed a number, then said to the other end: "Hello? Clark, look up at the sky!"

At this time, he didn't care about whether to exercise or not, and he had to stop the space station from falling first.

When Clark received Schiller's call, he had already flown into the air. He realized the disaster in the sky faster than any human being, but he was really not sure that he could catch the space station instantly and keep everyone inside from getting hurt, so he didn't rush up at the first time, but kept adjusting his posture.

Schiller called at the right time. Clark asked as he rushed up: "Can I let them see me?"

"It's better not to." Schiller said: "On the one hand, there is no Superman in this universe. There may be some problems if you appear in public. On the other hand, this is a drill. Try to use a method that is not discovered."

"Drill?! Are people in your universe so wild? This thing hits my head and I have to faint for three seconds!"

"So serious?!" Schiller was a little surprised.

"Isn't this made by you?!" Clark was even more surprised. He said: "I can be sure that the thing that is falling down now is extremely hard. There is a metal in it that I have never seen in my universe..."

Schiller remembered that the space station is basically made of molten steel alloy, and some vibranium is mixed in it. Although the hardness is not as good as adamantium, it has better toughness and shock absorption than adamantium. It is indeed hard enough.

Thinking of this, Schiller suddenly remembered that Howard also participated in the design of the space station. He once mentioned that some important parts of the space station adopted the same structure as Captain America's shield.

Captain America's shield has one biggest function, that is, no matter how high Captain America jumps from, as long as the shield lands, he will not be injured at all. This is the magic of sound-absorbing steel.

If this is the case, the design of the space station may have anticipated the fall long ago. Thinking of this, Schiller said: "Clark, you just need to make sure that the people in the space station are fine, adjust the speed and direction according to the situation and let it fall!"

"Are you crazy?!" Clark said: "How can you be sure that it will not disintegrate the moment it lands? No human can withstand such a collision!"

Schiller went over Howard and Stark's resumes in his mind several times, especially Howard's expression when he mentioned his technology and Stark's expression when he heard the drill plan, which made him more determined. He said: "Yes, you just need to slow down in time, but don't stop it from falling. It's best to let it fall into the sea."

"This is not difficult. Judging from the trajectory, it will indeed fall into the sea, probably in Australia. South, close to the South Pole, I'm using a bio-force field to slow it down. "

"Okay, Clark, keep in touch with me at any time. I need to contact the technicians who built this thing and get back to you later."

Let Ultron keep in touch with Clark, and Schiller called Howard. Now it's a race against time. He didn't waste words, but asked directly: "Will there be any problems if the space station falls into the sea at this speed?"

Howard was very noisy, and it was obvious that he was arguing with various technicians. Howard roared loudly: "I know what I built myself, and there will be no problems! ! Even if it falls at the original speed, at most it will be comatose and injured, and no one will die! ! ! "

Schiller heard languages ​​from various countries, and the loudest roar was from China. They firmly opposed Howard's attempt to do such a thing.

From these blunt words, Schiller could infer that the people arguing now were divided into two parties, one was air interception, and the other was waiting for the fall. China was the former, and Howard was the latter.

China proposed an air interception plan, which mainly used the power of their domestic mutants to let the Weather Witch, the King of Ten Thousands and others take over the space station, and must minimize the loss of personnel.

Howard said that the space station could be allowed to crash into the water. Since the slow-descent device and shell structure he designed could offset 99% of the impact force, the worst result of the remaining 1% would be that the people inside would be knocked unconscious or slightly injured.

Obviously, the latter sounded unreliable and looked like a gamble. Even if he trusted Howard's technical ability, Schiller was not completely sure.

Seeing that they couldn't argue any more, Schiller suddenly thought of a way. He said to Howard: "Do you have your drawings? If so, show them to the Chinese people. They will understand that what you said is true."

Howard was a little skeptical because he was obviously a little bit overwhelmed and felt that the other party just didn't trust him. Schiller ignored him and asked Ultron to send the drawings to Zheng Xian.

Soon, the argument subsided. The Chinese technical experts who had seen the drawings agreed that what Howard said was true. They didn't argue with Howard anymore, but immediately arranged for people to prepare for sea search and rescue and salvage.

Clark controlled the speed of the space station, but he had discovered before that there was a slow-descent suspension device inside the space station, which also controlled the speed. Although the people in the space station were unconscious, they were not in danger of life, and they might even wake up when they dropped to a certain height.

The space station gradually broke through the atmosphere. Clark could be said to be carefully controlling the attitude speed of the space station, and he had to monitor the heart rate of everyone inside at all times to prevent someone from being in poor health and dying due to accidents.

But as he was controlling the aircraft, Clark realized something was wrong. He immediately connected to Schiller's communication and asked, "Does your exercise involve destroying the descent control device?"

"Of course not!" Schiller said firmly. He, Natasha and Coulson had already boarded the car to the airport. Although an accident had occurred, the plan had to go on, and the trip to Texas would not delay remote control.

"The descent control device is broken." Clark said truthfully: "It was fine before entering the atmosphere. If it worked normally, the people inside would just be unconscious or slightly injured by the collision. The overall situation was still stable, but it's broken now. If it weren't for me, the people inside would not survive for more than three seconds."

"Can you tell how it broke?"

Clark wanted to say he didn't know, because he really didn't know how this thing worked. After thinking about it, he said: "I don't need to hold the space station, so I can fly over and take a picture for you, but don't expect me to fix it. I just saw it. If it wasn't in another universe, I would think there should be a bat logo printed on this thing."

"What do you mean?"

"Even the super brain can't understand how it works." Clark said very honestly: "Your scientists have leaps in thinking at a certain stage, and I don't have that kind of scientific inspiration."

Schiller knew he was talking about the amazing scientific research ideas of Stark and his son, but he still asked Clark to fly in and take a picture for him.

This photo hit the point. As soon as Schiller sent this thing to Howard, Howard screamed.

"This is man-made damage!!!!" Howard yelled over there, as if explaining to a group of scientists from other countries, "Someone destroyed the power core of the descent control system! See here? This place was smashed!!!"

There was another discussion in various languages ​​on the other side, and finally the scientists collectively gave Schiller an answer. This thing was not damaged naturally at all. Someone hit the core of the descent control system and directly scrapped it.

This made Schiller even more suspicious. He called Nick to confirm that it was not Nick's fault. Nick also confirmed to Schiller that it was not his fault. The two of them checked and found that neither of them was the culprit of the accident. Then they understood that there had been a mysterious third party behind the accident.

After a brief thought, Schiller said to Clark, "Can you find a way to keep anyone from seeing you and keep the space station suspended in mid-air? Just tens of thousands of feet will do."

"I can hold the space station and fly for a while." Clark said, "But if something else flies over, it might be able to see me."

"It's OK if you can't be seen from inside the space station. We now suspect that a mysterious person is sabotaging the space station. Don't let him see you."

It's not difficult for Clark to do this. Anyway, he is very good at holding something and flying. He slowly reduced the falling speed of the space station to zero, and then just held the space station and flew in mid-air.

Schiller immediately notified all countries through Howard that SHIELD had someone stop the space station, because now is not a good time to test collision safety, because the mysterious person can destroy the slow-descent system and other places, and can't risk the lives of so many people.

Howard couldn't object now. He was confident in his own skills, but he was not confident in the viciousness of this mysterious person. If some structures in the shell were really destroyed, he would really become a historical sinner if he fell headfirst.

What made Schiller and Nick feel relieved was that this group of scientists did not pin their hopes on these super powers. They began to study how to rescue in the air.

The space station is now in the center of the warm layer of the atmosphere, about 400 kilometers in altitude. The space station itself is insulated and constant temperature, so the temperature of the warm layer has no effect on it.

More than half of the 13 areas that were cut off from power are located in the fallen half. The staff inside have been evacuated, so there are not many people in this half now, and the oxygen is enough for a while.

However, this altitude is a bit awkward for human spaceflight. Aircraft are definitely not suitable, and the space shuttles of most countries are not suitable. Wakanda's aircraft is very suitable for this altitude.

But all the Wakanda spaceships were sent to the other half to pick up people. After all, more than half of the people were still there waiting for rescue.

Wakanda's spaceship is good, but it's too small to fit a few people at once. This alone is enough to keep them busy.

Schiller thought they would have to discuss it at least for a while, but as soon as he got on the plane, Ultron told him that the results of the discussion were out.

Several Kree frigates captured by humans before are now parked in star ports at the edge of the solar system. Those spacecraft are quite large and have all kinds of life-support facilities inside, making them very suitable for picking up people.

The only problem is that flying too close to the earth may be a bit dangerous. After all, this thing is not customized according to the earth. When it is modified, most of it is modified for interstellar travel. Near-Earth rescue is not considered, so the risk is definitely existing.

But now I can’t care about that much. We must let these big spaceships pick up the remaining people in the space station, and then send Wakanda and the small spaceships that the space station originally brought to pick up the half of the space station that fell. The people inside were rescued.

The moment the plan was finalized, the government headquarters and technology centers of almost every country on the planet lit up, like bright fireworks shooting into the sky——

The largest near-earth rescue in human history has begun.

Let’s go swimming!
