While the Aurora Legion was spending huge amounts of manpower and material resources to build the northern city fortress complex, Zhou Qingfeng took the opportunity to fly to French Guiana in South America.
The Kourou Space Launch Site in French Guiana is the only space launch site in France and the main site for European Space Agency’s space activities. After the catastrophe, this remote corner far away from North America and even the world suffered relatively little damage.
When the Aurora Legion was developing into South America, it had always adopted the strategy of maintaining its original local power and only exerting commercial influence. However, the Legion had sent hundreds of troops to control this rare and complete space launch site very early, and now it finally comes in handy.
Already.
Although compared to the well-equipped and huge Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, the Kulu Space Launch Site looks very shabby. However, the basically complete space launch facilities here still provide the minimum for the Aurora Corps' satellite launch plan.
convenience.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to rely solely on Zhou Qingfeng for luck.
The Kuru Space Launch Site is located near the equator, which is very helpful for rocket launches, and the several telemetry receiving stations supporting it are basically complete. They are basically within the control range of the Aurora Legion, or within the sphere of influence of its allies.
At this moment, on the No. 2 launch pad of the launch site, a lightweight 'Kuaizhou-1A' rocket is undergoing final preparations for launch. The fairing of this rocket carries four small communication satellites of less than 100 kilograms.
The rocket will send them into low-Earth orbit in one go.
Zhou Qingfeng is sitting in the control room of the launch site. On the big screen in front of him are various data and real-time video of the rocket launch. On both sides of him are two special envoys from the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave, both of whom are prepared for this rare event.
to support the space launch mission.
The four satellites launched this time will be used for communication networking to meet basic communication services in the Americas. The lifespan of these satellites is only two or three years, and they are used for emergencies.
"Your Excellency, Army Commander, the rocket and satellite are in good condition, and the countdown to launch will begin soon. Will you personally be responsible for button ignition?" The person in charge of the launch site came to invite Zhou Qingfeng.
Regarding this exciting event, Zhou Qingfeng smiled and said to the special envoys sent by the two forces around him: "This is a very historic moment, let's do it together."
The two special envoys naturally agreed, so the three of them crowded in front of the launch console and pressed the red launch button. Waiting for the launch countdown to go from 'nineteen eighty-seven...' to zero, the button was pressed, and the rocket on the big screen ejected.
The dazzling flames pushed the arrow body into the sky.
The rocket was successfully launched. As various measurement and control stations sent news that the rocket's posture was normal, the applause and cheers in the control room of the launch site never stopped. Everyone was hugging each other and congratulating each other, and the two special envoys also shook hands with Zhou Qingfeng to express their sincere feelings.
of joy.
Zhou Qingfeng was also very pleased to see the first and second stages of the rocket falling off and turning into a tiny bright spot in the sky. It has been almost three years since the end of the wasteland, and humans have begun to work hard to restore the normal way of life in the past. All this is achieved by relying on
He just realized it ahead of time.
"Commander Hugo, congratulations. Your aerospace team is great. They are our most valuable asset at present." The envoy from the Enclave looked at the busy talents in the control room with envy.
Yes, these talents were snatched by Zhou Qingfeng from Florida. If he hadn't snatched them, most of these people would have died in the disaster of nuclear bombs washing the land. And without these people, Zhou Qingfeng would have had rockets and satellites.
no good.
Amid laughter and blessings, the four satellites carried on the rocket were accurately placed into orbit. After a debugging period, they will be handed over by the Space Launch Center to the ground control stations of various forces, responsible for the important work of long-distance satellite communications.
.
Taking advantage of the happiness, the Enclave's special envoy once again said to Zhou Qingfeng: "Your Excellency, Army Commander, on behalf of our Secretary Biden of the Ministry of Interior, I would like to send you greetings. Can you allow us to join this satellite launch plan, which will help improve the relationship between us?"
It has a huge promoting effect.”
Zhou Qingfeng smiled slightly when he heard this, "Don't you represent your Excellency the President?"
"No, I am representing Secretary Biden in a private capacity now. Our President is actually not friendly towards you and your regiment, and our Secretary is not. He prefers to work in a cooperative manner to defuse the differences between the two of us.
relation."
Zhou Qingfeng just smiled at the Enclave envoy's words. The situation of the Enclave's internal disintegration has been widely circulated to the outside world, and it sounds like a joke.
But after the special envoy finished his courtesy, he said in a low voice and seriously: "Your Excellency, Army Commander, I am not only here to observe your satellite launch business, but also to remind you of something."
Zhou Qingfeng's smile did not change, "Please tell me."
"There is Professor Osborne, have you heard of him? He has a female student named Nova who should work under your command," the envoy said.
"Norman Osborn?" Zhou Qingfeng's eyes sharpened instantly, because this Dr. Osborn was not only Nova's teacher, but also the avatar of the 'Prince' in the real world. It was this guy who created the mutants.
and zombies, two human mutants.
To a certain extent, it can be said that Norman Osborne is as dangerous as David Lawrence. These two guys are now acting independently after their original bodies died.
The special envoy nodded and said: "Our previous President Corning Gray once sent a special team to Havana to assassinate you. Of course, the powerful legion you formed prevented you from being harmed. They are the second generation created by Dr. Osborne.
Mutants, powerful and dangerous."
"Are you going to tell me next that this guy is out of control?" Zhou Qingfeng felt murderous intent in his heart. Compared with David Lawrence, who is still rational, Dr. Osborne is obviously more difficult to figure out.
God knows what he will do?
"To be precise, Dr. Osborne established a force on his own. He set up several camps in northern Mexico, and more and more people began to gather around him. He claimed that he had received guidance from God and wanted to make America great again.
"
The special envoy looked at Zhou Qingfeng's expression as he spoke. Uncle Zhou sneered when he heard this. There are too many lunatics these days, and there is no shortage of one like this.
"This crazy guy recently sent assassins to assassinate several senior officials of the Enclave. This incident made the senior officials, including our Secretary Biden, extremely angry. This dangerous guy who ignores the rules must be eliminated," the special envoy said.
It’s really crazy….
Zhou Qingfeng took a deep breath and secretly considered the stakes - the Enclave's new government certainly could not tolerate a local government becoming bigger, and the Biden minister behind the special envoy obviously wanted to push the Aurora Legion out of the fire.
The special envoy continued: "We recently received news that Dr. Osborne's research on mutants has made new progress. He began to distribute an enhanced drug called 'God's Kiss' to his subordinates, which can make people more
Strong, as if really blessed by God.
Because of this medicine, Dr. Osborne has bewitched more and more followers, which has increased his strength far beyond our expectations. Although we are making every effort to eradicate this guy, we have to admit that he
It's really out of control.
Dr. Osborn is not only hostile to our Enclave's central government, he is also extremely hostile to the Aurora Legion. As far as we know, he is trying to intervene in the situation in Mexico. Your Excellency, Legion Commander, you and your Legion are under great threat.
