Laura's Beautiful Journey

With the timely capital injection from the Croft Group, Reed's long-awaited space exploration plan can finally be launched, which makes him very happy.

In the United States, if you have money, it will be easier to do things. The main body of the detector was completed in less than a week, working overtime.

As for the launcher, Reed got the last set of Saturn V launch vehicles from NASA at a fairly reasonable price. The production line of this thing was actually closed as early as 1970, and the most recent launch mission It was in 1973 that the "Skylab" space station was launched into low-Earth orbit.

In fact, NASA originally recommended the successor to the Saturn V—the Space Launch System (SLS system), which is known as the most powerful launch vehicle system in history. This thing is a super-heavy launch vehicle that NASA studied and evolved from the space shuttle. Overall The performance advantages are much stronger than those of the previous Saturn V series.

But Reed gave up on the SLS launch system after careful consideration.

The first reason is that it is expensive! This extremely terrifying plan has almost drained NASA of all kinds of research funds, and they are in urgent need of a wave of recovery. Reed, who had been invited to solve some theoretical problems for the project, naturally knew this. Although he had received funding from the Crawford Group, this time he did not want to treat Laura as a friend like the military. The enemy comes to trap you.

The second reason is that the actual stability of the SLS system is still uncertain, while the Saturn V series maintains a perfect launch record. In fact, according to Reed's past style, he would definitely choose the more technologically advanced SLS launch system, but this time the space exploration plan was extremely important to him. He didn't want any mistakes in the plan, so he finally chose Saturn. Number five.

As for the astronauts, Reed pulled in his friend Ben Grimm, ex-girlfriend Susan Stone, and her brother Johnny Stone.

Reed also built an extra high-security isolation and sightseeing cabin, which was specially designed to thank Laura, the big benefactor.

Laura was a little dumbfounded after receiving his phone invitation and learning the news. Perhaps for many wealthy people on earth, space tourism is a very big thing.

But it was completely unattractive to her. First of all, when she used the Best series armor as her main armor, she had been to low-Earth orbit many times, not to mention that Lara could now fly in space for a certain distance with only her physical body.

Secondly, the modified Pelican is fully capable of space flight, and the ride comfort and safety are not comparable to those of the Saturn V and SLS rocket systems. Why should Laura suffer this?

The last and most important point is that after communicating with Attilan, the hidden city of the Inhumans on the moon, the time for Daisy's gene awakening ceremony has been arranged, which happens to be on the same day as Reed's space exploration plan.

Therefore, Laura could only politely decline Reed's kindness, saying that she had very important things to be busy with and really couldn't get away. This excuse was also the legendary "next time".

Reed felt very sorry for this. But considering that Laura still has the identity of a superhero, maybe the other party is dealing with something related to the safety of the earth, he was relieved and said that all the information about the space exploration plan would be disclosed to Laura and promised to do so in the future. Do her a favor unconditionally.

So, one morning with clear skies, while the Pelican carrying Laura, Katie, Daisy, Calvin Zabo and Maya Hansen quietly disappeared to the back of the moon, Reed and others also Amid much attention, we boarded the self-developed probe on top of the Saturn V and waited excitedly for the countdown to launch.

It's just that in addition to the four astronauts originally planned, there is one more guy who is destined to be entangled with Reed and the other four for a lifetime.

"I said Reid, is it necessary for me to stay in this isolation and observation cabin that looks like a steel and glass ball? I think it's good to stay outside with you."

The man complaining is named Victor von Doom. This guy is the current boyfriend and love rival of Reed's ex-girlfriend Susan Stone. At the same time, he is also Reed's classmate, friend and rival, a very successful high-tech entrepreneur.

"Those guys in the military have been tricked by you twice and they will definitely not fall for it again. After the end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, NASA is no longer as glorious as it was yesterday. In fact, you should have come to me directly at that time, that woman from the Crawford Group The president is not a simple person, so be careful that there is fraud involved."

Victor was born in a small Eastern European country - Latvia. His mother was a gypsy witch. When Doom's mother was seeking magical power, her soul was taken away by the big demon Mephisto.

Doom has been determined to free his mother's soul from Mephisto since he was a child. However, with no access, he basically failed when he tried to learn various magics on his own, so he turned to science, hoping to use scientific methods to explain what he saw back then and achieve the goal of saving his mother.

After receiving a scholarship from the State University of New York with excellent results, he finally had the opportunity to leave Latvia, which was still under feudal rule at the time, and came to the colorful world of New York, where he met his lifelong rival--Reed Richards. .

Victor's IQ is actually considered a genius among geniuses, otherwise he would not have been admitted to NYSU from a little-known Eastern European country by spending a lot of resources and connections.

It's a pity that he faced Reed Richards, the chosen one. After challenging each other and failing again and again, Victor, as arrogant as he was, had to admit that he was no match for Reed in scientific research.

Fortunately, there is always a path, and Victor, who was somewhat frustrated, accidentally discovered that his business talent was also extremely high.

So he gave up purely theoretical scientific research and began to turn to the combination and application of science and business, and thus successfully made the Doum Group bigger and stronger.

In addition, by chance, he, Victor, snatched Susan away from Reed. Victor, who finally surpassed his old rival Reed in both career and love, couldn't be happier.

Of course, in the secret study that no one else could enter except himself, Victor would still be dazed from time to time when he was studying the theory of different spaces and various magic books. He always felt that there was a voice deep in his heart telling him: Victor von Doom will never be a rich man who is willing to be mediocre, and he will eventually create some earth-shattering achievements!
