Chapter 403 Moon landing
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s exclusive airliner landed at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. Sean walked down the stairs and saw Mister Fantastic Reed who came to greet him. Under the strong invitation of , he joined the scientific research team of the latest Earth-Moon system bunker project.

The World Security Council and Asgard have completed preliminary negotiations, and have drafted a rough strategic defense plan for the nine star regions, the first step of which is to build a lunar base and build a complete defense line for the Earth-Moon system.

After intense discussions, the five major countries unanimously approved the construction plan of the space city, and China led the implementation. After all, this is a powerful country that has illuminated its infrastructure talent, and its capabilities have long been certified by various countries. There is no doubt.

"Long time no see, Reed."

Sean patted each other's shoulders enthusiastically, with a bright smile on his face.

After the enactment of the "Superhero Registration Act", the Fantastic Four took the lead in supporting the government's resolution and issued a public statement. Obviously, this was not for SHIELD, but because of their personal relationship.

Due to the short-term cooperation on the space energy harvesting experiment before, the two parties have a good friendship. Sean admires Dr. Richards, who is taciturn and enthusiastic in scientific research, especially the star that is not inferior to Tony Stark. His genius mind is even more valued.

As for the other three members of the Fantastic Four team, Susan and Gwen have a close relationship, Stone Man and Human Torch Johnny have also dealt with S.H.I.E.L.D. After the guys, they often hold private parties.

"You're my boss now, Sean."

Reed's gentle face was filled with sincere joy, but what he said made the corner of Sean's mouth twitch.

Life has fallen to the bottom, and Victor Doom, who is now staying in Latvinia, has fully proved that being Reid's boss often does not end well.

The two sat in the black car, and S.H.I.E.L.D. built the first space shipyard in Chicago, an industrial city. Thousands of top engineers were dispatched from all over the world to form a huge team, preparing to save the dark elves. Space battleships are reverse engineered, and Asgard also provides a lot of technical support.

"As for the construction plan of the entire space base, we roughly divide it into three parts: the space station, the space port, and the moon base. The construction of the space base...preliminary estimates, it will take about one to two years, which is already the fastest speed that can be achieved after a technological breakthrough."

Once Reed talked about scientific work, he began to talk endlessly, and his face glowed with a unique brilliance, as if he was immersed in his own world.

This kind of temperament of a scientific madman is not as good as Tony Stark. After all, the latter encounters difficult problems and occasionally seeks relaxation from the physical aspect.

"The World Security Council is going to invest an initial budget of 60 to [-] billion US dollars, the dark elves' space battleships, Asgard's cutting-edge technology, and a steady stream of vibrating gold materials... You will get the best treatment, this is I promise."

Sean looked at the confident Reid, with a relaxed smile on his lips, and jokingly said, "If it wasn't for the Ultron program that stopped that guy Tony, he would definitely want to join in!"

Reed nodded excitedly. He has been waiting for such an opportunity all his life to let his learning and talent fully display.

Since the Doom Group went bankrupt and collapsed, Reid has received a lot of criticism and strange looks from the public. Many people are willing to sponsor the Fantastic Four and let this popular superhero group be their company's product spokesperson or a talk show Guest, but no one wants to support his scientific research career.

Some brokerage companies even came to their door. Those people bluntly suggested that Reid give up his dream of scientific research and change his career to become a big star. With the strong limelight of the Fantastic Four, he could publish a best-selling book and authorize Hollywood to make several live-action movies. It's full.

"I won't let you down, it's the best thing to be able to put my heart and soul into my work."

Reed calmed down and made a solemn promise.

Xiao En echoed a few words, and then turned the topic back to the construction of the space base. With the current technology, it is not difficult to build a space base on the moon.

All the resources invested by the five major countries and Asgard's technical support can greatly shorten this process, but what Umbrella has to do is more than that.

In fact, a scientific research team led by Dr. Connors is already developing a grand vision of space immigration, using the moon as the first colonized planet to build a space city that is in line with the way humans live.

This is not a fantasy. As early as 1977, Dr. O'Neill, a professor of physics at Princeton University, published the book "Island of Immigrants in the Universe", which put forward many ideas.This is the inevitability of the development of space technology and the dream of mankind since ancient times.

Break free from the shackles of the earth, rush out of the atmosphere, explore outer space, and enter the era of great interstellar navigation...

These romantic visions of the future appear in countless novels or movies, and are talked about by people.

After driving for nearly two hours, Sean came to the shipyard located in the industrial area of ​​Chicago. This was only a part of manufacturing the spaceship structure and parts. A secret base in New York.

For the team on the Chicago side, all communication processes and data sharing must be encrypted layer by layer to prevent information leakage.

Sean looked up at the gigantic steel outline and was amazed in his heart. He took the design blueprint handed over by Reed. The outer shell of the spaceship was made of vibrating gold and a part of titanium alloy. Umbrella's artificial sun was used as the energy core, and the ion was temporarily used. Thrusters, although Asgard provides the cutting-edge technology of the curvature drive engine, but this will not be widely used until the formation of the space fleet.

"You should give it a name."

Xiao En showed a satisfied expression. The huge scientific research team composed of top talents from various countries mobilized by the World Security Council did not waste the massive resources invested by the five major countries.

"Prometheus." Reed seemed to be admiring a work of art that was about to be completed, with a trace of longing in his eyes, he said softly: "It will sow the fire of mankind until it spreads all over the sea of ​​stars."

"This is another big step for mankind after 1969."

Sean smiled as he gazed at the steel silhouette of the spaceship that, a century ago, was the first human to land on the moon when two superpowers staged a space race.

Now, it's time to really take the second step.
