The Americans Return to Space, I'll Take a Flight (Part 3)

Red Lotus would not ordinarily intervene in a standard satellite launch.

Consequently, this satellite had to be out of the ordinary.

"Red Lotus, bring up the image," Tang Rui ordered.

"Of course, Master. Would you like to watch the American launch live, or should we access it through our satellite?" Hong Lian inquired, her head tilted as she looked at Tang Rui.

"The live broadcast," Tang Rui instructed succinctly.

"Immediately, Master. I am converting the video data now."

With a whoosh, the holographic projection illuminated the launch site of the American rocket.

"This satellite has piqued my interest," Tang Rui observed thoughtfully.

Through the American live broadcast, it was evident that the satellite was affixed not within, but externally to the rocket, reminiscent of how the Space Shuttle was transported.

Tang Rui's gaze sharpened as he zoomed in on the satellite's emblem. The Lockheed Martin logo was unmistakable.
