My days as a landlord in Gotham

(eight)

"Gosh!

It turned out to be an aerospace plane! "

As the Poseidon launched water from the bottom of a deep sea in the Atlantic Ocean and soared into the air, both the US government and the Hydra experts roared in a voice almost groaning, "And they actually have the technology of deep sea launch .

Judging from the level of their launch, their technology far surpasses any country on our planet! "

Aerospace plane is the abbreviation of aerospace plane, and it is a kind of flying vehicle that the major aviation powers still stay on the design drawings.

The aerospace plane not only has the ability of the space shuttle to go to and from near space, but also has the ability of ordinary aviation planes to take off directly from the ground.

Compared with the spacecraft, the aerospace plane has the advantages of flexibility and cost-effectiveness; and compared with the space shuttle, the aerospace plane does not need rocket boosting, which is several blocks away from the space shuttle in terms of cost and launch conditions.

According to the predictions of many aviation experts, the aerospace plane should be the best vehicle for the earth to travel near space and even the earth and the moon in the future.

It's a pity that most of the current aerospace aircraft remain on the blueprints, or a few powerful countries have already designed models, but there is still a relatively long distance from the prototype.

But now that a real aerospace plane is taking off right under my nose, do you think these experts are excited?

And importantly, this aerospace plane was launched from the bottom of the sea.

Submarine launch is a very difficult technology, thousands of times more difficult than roadbed launch.

But it is so difficult, why do the major powers continue to carry out research?

Quite simply, submarine launch technology means that one's own country has a secondary attack capability.

What is "Second Attack"

According to the current war technology, it is very likely that most countries will lose all or most of their combat effectiveness in the first round of attacks.

Unless the territory is very large and the terrain is particularly complex, you can still use geographical advantages to preserve part of your combat effectiveness.

But if it has the ability to attack under the sea, then this country can organize a very effective second round of attacks after losing most of its combat effectiveness in the first round of attacks.

Even for a country like the United States, don't look at their aircraft carriers flying around the world, but the real capital for people to save their lives is nuclear submarines.

Aircraft carriers are for scaring foreigners, nuclear submarines are for defending the country.

Unlike these aerospace experts who made a fuss, Director Fury, who was watching the live launch at the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, frowned and thought about how strong Li Lei's technology was.

Li Lei, Wayne Group and Stark Industries formed a satellite company, of course, he couldn't hide it from Director Fury, and he even got the relevant data of the satellites launched by the satellite company.

These data amazed the technical department of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Director Fury probably knew what Li Lei was thinking.

Although Li Lei's satellite service company is under the guise of serving business people around the world, Director Fury has determined that it is a global surveillance system.

It is a pity that Director Fury's reminder did not attract the attention of the World Security Council and the US government. They believe that although the satellites of satellite service companies have some "spy satellites"

function, but not really a spy satellite.

What's more, the satellite service company has taken the initiative to invite relevant US supervision agencies to supervise, and the US government has no reason to doubt it.

The Poseidon quickly reached the first cosmic speed, which is the most basic for an air vehicle.

The real trouble lies in the stability and stability of the vehicle. The stability lies in whether it will not be destroyed by the atmospheric pressure when it rushes out of the atmosphere; the stability is that it will not appear in the face of extreme temperature changes of extreme heat and cold question.

When a space vehicle enters and exits the atmosphere, it is easy to generate a lot of heat due to friction, which is a very big challenge for the vehicle and the people inside the vehicle.

But for the Poseidon, it was a very simple matter.

A shield formed of pure energy tightly wraps the exterior of the spacecraft, preventing the spacecraft itself from directly rubbing against the atmosphere.

Therefore, the Poseidon did not feel any heat at all, and at the same time, the life support system controlled by artificial intelligence inside the spacecraft adjusted the pressure and temperature inside the ship to the most suitable values.

If it wasn't for the two of them gradually feeling the weakening of gravity, Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi really wouldn't believe that they were rushing out of the earth at this time.

After Poseidon entered the geosynchronous orbit, it stopped outputting propulsion. At this time, Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi had already begun to feel the feeling of floating in space.

However, the two are still fixed on the chair by the seat belt, so they are not completely floating.

Li Lei issued an order, "Start the artificial gravity system."

With the execution of the order, Li Lei and others felt the gravity on the earth again.

"The Poseidon enters the system self-check state, and at the same time sends our current status to Gotham."

Just as the Poseidon was executing the instructions, Hiro Hamada said with some regret: "This artificial gravity system makes us lose the fun of weightless floating."

Although he said so, Hamada Hiroshi didn't have too many real regrets.

Although weightlessness is a very interesting state, it is very troublesome for astronauts who want to do scientific research in outer space.

Astronauts train for a long time to adapt to and work in weightlessness.

At the same time, the bulky space suits restricted the astronauts' movements, and if they saw Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi's thin and close-fitting space suits, the astronauts would probably be jealous to death.

Hiroshi Hamada inspects "Clairvoyance One"

and "Clairvoyance II"

It was confirmed that the two deep space probes were not damaged during the flight.

The next step is to check his armor. After all, he will need to go for a space walk later, and put the two detectors in a suitable position.

Unlike Li Lei and Jason's armor, Hamada Hiroshi's armor was bulky and had many expansion slots.

For example, the armor assembled by Hiro Hamada at this time is almost a medium-sized robot. Hiro Hamada will operate inside the engineering robot to complete this task.

"Ray, how do you guys feel in space?"

Jason's excited voice came from the earphone again, "Is it fun?"

Sure enough, for this group of little guys, whether it is fun or not is the most important thing.

"I have seen your briefing here, and everything is going well!"

"Thanks for the feedback."

Li Lei said, "One last thing to add, outer space is actually not fun at all."

What Li Lei said was true. After excluding the novelty, outer space is actually a very scary world.

No sound, very high or low temperature.

Without the protection of spacesuits, people would either be blown into meat in an instant or turned into thousand-year-old ice corpses.

Even in a space vehicle, it is very uncomfortable to be directly hit by the sun.

Without the protection of the atmosphere, the temperature and radiation just hit us so directly.

Although the air vehicle itself can isolate a lot of temperature and radiation, the rest is enough for humans.

However, the surface of Poseidon has energy shields, so it is much more comfortable than ordinary human space vehicles.

At the same time, Li Lei also closed the transparent observation window in front to prevent the sun from directly shining on him.

However, the observation windows on both sides can still see the burning sun and the quietly shining distant stars.

Unlike the twinkling stars on Earth, the stars in space are quietly bright.

Barring something like a supernova explosion, their brightness is almost inconvenient.

The so-called twinkling stars are the beauty endowed by the atmosphere to human beings.

At the same time, the moon that gave humans infinitely beautiful imaginations also revealed its true colors at this time, a small planet with pits and holes, just so ugly not far behind the Poseidon.

"All poetry and beauty are gone, and only numbers and laws remain."

Li Lei said something silently.

After the system self-inspection was completed, Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi began to discuss the timing of leaving the cabin.

For human beings, space is really a terrible place, and minimizing the exposure time in space is also a consideration for their own safety.

"clairvoyance"

The series of deep space probes actually have their own power propulsion equipment, but these powers are only used for attitude adjustment or orbit change, but not enough for them to move from the Poseidon to the designated position.

Therefore, this distance can only be put on the armor by Hamada Hiroshi, and put them in the predetermined position after entering space.

Although the orbit planned by Li Lei and the others is far away from the satellite orbit currently mainly used by human beings, and the amount of space junk is relatively small, there are too many wandering celestial bodies in the universe.

It's okay to penetrate the satellite, but it would be very scary if it penetrated the human body.

The shield of the Poseidon is strong enough, but there is no space weapon at hand to deal with this kind of wandering celestial body, so everything needs to be strong enough for the ground and the observation equipment on the Poseidon.

"Hong, according to the current observation results, now is the best time to get out of the cabin."

After one final confirmation, Li Lei said, "Remember, protecting personal safety is our first priority.

Once you find anything wrong, give up the task immediately. "

"Don't worry, the armor I designed is not that fragile!"

Hamada Hiroshi was not so worried about the stray celestial body, "Besides, I also put weapons on my armor, as long as it is not an asteroid-level stray celestial body, my armor can deal with it.

Okay, I'm going into the isolation chamber now, you are going to close the isolation chamber. "

After Hamada Hiroshi entered the isolation cabin, Li Lei closed the isolation cabin.

After the system check, it was determined that the space between the isolation compartment and the cockpit had been completely sealed.

Hamada Hiroshi put on all the armor, and then operated the robotic arm to take the "Clairvoyance One"

After receiving the confirmation signal from Hiro Hamada, Hiro Hamada opened the doors of the isolation compartment and the outer compartment.

The compartment is "vented" before the outer hatch is opened

Reduce the pressure, otherwise, once the outer door is opened, the air pressure in the cabin will be enough to blow Hiro Hamada far away.

When the air pressure difference between the isolation cabin and the outer space tended to zero, Li Lei slowly opened the outer cabin door.

The speed of opening the hatch is not fast, in order to prevent accidents from happening.

After the cabin door was fully opened, Hiroshi Hamada slowly left the Poseidon with the armor and Clairvoyance No. [-].

At this time, there is still a connecting line between Hamada Hiroshi and Poseidon.

If any accident happens, Li Lei can activate emergency measures to quickly pull Hamada Hiroshi back into the cabin.

"The explorer has left the cabin and is currently heading towards the first predetermined position. The estimated arrival time will take 20 minutes."

Hamada Hiroshi sent a signal to Li Lei through the radio, "Everything in the field of vision is normal, and the status of the satellite and armor is also normal."

"That's good.

At present, according to the detection equipment of the Poseidon, there are no risk factors for you and your surroundings, but please be sure to raise your vigilance. "

Li Lei replied.

Although the system checks that everything is safe, Li Lei still wants to remind Hamada Hiroshi.

At any time, humans cannot fully trust machines.

Once humans trust machines unconditionally, the end of mankind will come.

Don't look at Li Lei as an advocate of artificial intelligence, but he is also "restricting artificial intelligence theory"

the proponent.

Only when artificial intelligence is controlled by humans is it a blessing for mankind, otherwise it is a disaster for mankind.

"Relax, Ray."

Hamada Hiroshi heard Li Lei's nervousness in the communicator, "Even if you don't believe in Poseidon, you still have to believe in me.

Everything is going well so far and I think we should be back on the voyage soon.

The first thing I did after returning from the flight was to take a hot shower, because I still underestimated the comfort level of the armor in the extreme environment.

I'm sweating all over now, especially the places where a few apocrine glands are already wet.

Ray, why do I feel like I'm talking about something very erotic? "

"Yes, as long as you understand!"

Li Lei replied, couldn't help complaining in his heart, is it true that everyone in Japan has the talent of a salty guy?

"I want to remind you that besides you and me, there are Jason and the others on the communication channel.

It's fine to tell me about your salty jokes, they are minors, so don't tarnish them with your dirty thoughts! "

"Relax, Ray, you're just too rigid.

Don't you think Jason and the others are still kids who don't understand anything?

You know Jason just used your credit card to order video packages on several adult sites last month. "

Hamada Hiroshi said.

"Hong, you betrayed me!"

At this time, Jason's shout sounded in the communication channel, "You still want me to recommend good-looking ones to you!"

"You two don't blame each other for me!"

Li Lei now felt the black line on his forehead twitch wildly, "When I go home, I will ask the Red Queen to strengthen the supervision of the export network, and no one wants to see any adult content!

Don't think I can't do it, your three-legged cat's network hacking skills are not enough for the red queen! "

"Ray, you can't do this!

I'm a normal boy and I have a need to acquire this knowledge! "

Jason protested.

"Of course, you do need this knowledge as you enter puberty, but you can't get that knowledge from adult websites."

Li Lei coldly rejected Jason's protest, "I will order you some adolescence textbooks recommended by the Parent-Teacher Association or the American Child Psychological Association on the Amazon website.

I hope I can receive your reading experience every week, surprise, right? "

Amidst everyone's clamor, Hamada Hiroshi arrived at the first scheduled location.

He gently pushed Clairvoyance [-] into orbit, and Clairvoyance [-] began its self-test.

After a series of posture adjustments, Qianliyan-[-] successfully entered the predetermined orbit.

Then Li Lei's Poseidon and the underground headquarters in Gotham City both received relevant signals from Clairvoyance [-], and the first deep space probe was successfully launched.

But everyone did not celebrate, because the second one will be launched soon.

Under the traction of the traction line, Hiroshi Hamada returned to the isolation cabin.

Li Lei first closed the outer cabin door, and then checked whether it was completely closed.

Then slowly flush the air into the isolation compartment, so that the air pressure difference between the isolation compartment and the cockpit tends to zero.

After the air pressure stabilized, Li Lei opened the door of the isolation cabin.

Hamada Hiroshi took off his armor at this time, and then took a bottle of special energy drink with sugar and salt.

"I was really sweating, and even though the armor had sweat absorbers in it, it was very uncomfortable.

I originally thought that creating an air microcirculation system between the armor and the body would be enough to make the human body feel comfortable, but I found it was still wrong. "

Hamada Hiroshi concluded, "Actually, the best way is to immerse the human body in the liquid, so that the comfort of the human body can be optimal.

It's a pity that it is almost impossible to imitate the environment like the amniotic fluid of the mother, otherwise I will have to modify it. "

Regarding Hamada Hiroshi's complaint, Li Lei just smiled and said nothing.

Li Lei is well aware that the life support system designed by Hamada Hiroshi is far more comfortable than the current spacesuits of other countries. If the comfort level of American spacesuits is that of a high-end apartment, then Hamada Hiroshi’s design simply has an invincible sea view. Also enjoy the super luxurious villa with its own private garden in the deep mountain oxygen bar.

Of course, Hamada Hiroshi's idea is naturally not wrong.

Humans do feel comfortable in a liquid environment, which is a deep memory left by humans in early development.

But the problem is that if humans can produce amniotic fluid similar to the mother's body, then humans are only one step away from in vitro human reproduction.

To put it simply, if human beings can produce amniotic fluid, then human beings will be able to produce human beings in the same way as factories produce dolls.

Think about it and you will know how black technology this is.

While Li Lei was chatting with Hamada Hiroshi, the autopilot of Poseidon had already moved to the second reservation position.

The next thing was just a replica, so everyone quickly followed the original way of doing things again.

This time Hamada Hiroshi was significantly faster. After returning to the cabin, Li Lei began to check before returning to the voyage.

After the inspection was completed, Li Lei drove the Poseidon into the Atlantic Ocean under the supervision of NORAD.

Although the U.S. military has quietly deployed several submarines here, it is a pity that the radars of these submarines have not found the signal of Poseidon, and the Poseidon has disappeared in their field of vision.

So the U.S. military immediately realized that the Poseidon also has a super radar stealth function, and the eyes of the U.S. military were almost red at this time.

If it hadn't been for Director Fury's refusal to provide Li Lei's contact information, the U.S. military might have come to visit him.

"Did SHIELD give us the coordinates of the discovery fleet?

Have we found anything here? "

Li Lei asked while rubbing his hair.

After returning to Earth, both Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi went to take a hot shower.

And Jason is in charge of debugging two deep space probes, and continues to track down the mysterious alien fleet based on the location coordinates sent by S.H.I.E.L.D.

"The speed of the alien fleet has increased a lot. According to the calculation of the Red Queen, they will enter the solar system within 72 hours.

And within 80 hours, most telescopes on Earth will be able to see this alien fleet. "

Jason replied.

"This is the detailed map of the fleet's alien planet that we took with Clairvoyance [-]. The resolution is really beyond words."

Jason dropped a large picture in the middle of the basement.

Compared with the blurry photo provided by S.H.I.E.L.D., this photo has shown the appearance of the alien spacecraft in great detail.

However, unlike Hamada Hiroshi who paid attention to the shape of the spaceship, Li Lei was attracted by a badge on the exterior of the spaceship.

According to the few information in the system, this kind of spaceship with badges, logos and names painted on the surface of the spaceship is generally the official spaceship of the alien civilization.

But even if it is an official spacecraft, it does not mean that they are friendly to the earth.

Especially this emblem is so familiar, in the triangular shield, a sickle-like pattern is below the shield.

While Li Lei was thinking about the origin of this badge, the cover of the weekly magazine in Adam's hand gave Li Lei a reminder.

The cover of "U.S. News & World Report" in Adam's hand is the superhero of Metropolis, Superman.

And the red badge on Superman's blue tights was very similar to the badge of the alien spaceship. Li Lei immediately realized that Superman's people were coming!

"Bruce, are you free now?

I have something very important to inform you! "

Li Lei took out the special customized security mobile phone of the satellite service company and called Bruce Wayne.

There were some noisy voices over there, but after hearing Li Lei's cautious voice, the noise soon disappeared.

"Bruce, how's your connection with Superman going?

I'm afraid I have very bad news for you here.

First of all, you need to know that Superman is not from Earth.

Yes, he is a remnant on Earth of a destroyed planet.

But I can also tell you that the inhabitants and civilization of this planet have not been completely destroyed, because this alien civilization is very developed, and they started alien colonization thousands of years ago.

So, you understand the civilizational gap between us and them, right?

S.H.I.E.L.D. discovered an alien fleet a few days ago, and at their request, we launched a deep space probe to track it down.

I found that this fleet may be another group of remnants of Superman's planet.

But compared to the supermen who grew up on the earth, they have no kindness towards us.

If my guess is correct, they came to colonize Earth.

And importantly, their living environment is very different from ours.

In order to reproduce on the earth, they must transform the earth's environment.

Once the earth's environment is changed, at least [-]% of the existing human beings will die.

The rest I guess will be their slaves or something.

Do you understand, we are now facing a crisis-level difficulty of the end of human civilization.

Superman?

I think we can trust him.

If he is unwilling to help the earth, then we can just flee.

Don't worry, Bruce, I'll take you with me before I run away. "

After hanging up the phone with Bruce, Li Lei thought about it, and still called Director Fury.

"Mr. Fury, I have a piece of information to give you now.

Don't ask me about the source and credibility of the information. I can only say that you believe it if you want to. If you don't want to believe it, I will not contact you again.

I have some information about the alien fleet you gave me last time.

They are indeed an alien colony fleet, and they have a very close relationship with Superman.

You can understand that the members of the fleet have superhuman abilities.

My advice to you now is, don't piss them off!

In their eyes, the current military weapons on the earth are similar to children's play games.

If you don't want human civilization to be interrupted in an instant, please exercise maximum restraint.

Also, I know that S.H.I.E.L.D. has been in touch with some people with special abilities, and I think you can ask them for help. "

After Fury hung up the phone, his expression was still very bad.

Maria Hill couldn't help asking: "Director, what happened?"

"Yes."

Director Fury nodded with a wry smile, "If Lee's intelligence is correct, the end of human civilization is coming. —— Hill, you should notify the World Security Council immediately, saying that there is a red alert on my side that needs to be issued.

Also, you told Phil to come to me immediately.

Well, let the whole S.H.I.E.L.D. act, don't die until we don't know what happened! "

Fury growled.

After Hill finished listening, he immediately ran to convey the message.

"Hopefully those guys will move?"

Fury whispered to himself.

And just after SHIELD's red intelligence was sent out, governments around the world began to act secretly.

"You mean, all our hope now lies in that red underwear?"

In the car, Bruce couldn't help teasing, "Li, don't you think my abilities are still not good enough?

Or add your abilities? "
