Chapter 130: A 4.5-Kilometer Space Base! A Spaceship as Reward?! [First Update]
"You mean, Tony plans to move you all directly into space?"
During dinner, Wanda told Luo Di about Tony's idea, and that the Avengers had already decided to refuse to sign the Sokovia Accords.
"Oh my goodness~! Isn't this too crazy?"
Daisy's small face was full of shock as she spoke.
Gwen, sitting nearby, was equally stunned by the news and mumbled, "This is... too exaggerated."
"Yeah, I also think it's too exaggerated!"
Wanda nodded and said.
Moving from the ground to space all at once, Wanda also felt that the leap was a bit too big.
But Tony had already decided.
And he said he could totally do it.
Then the others could only choose to believe him!
...
One month later.
The consequences of the Avengers' refusal to sign the Sokovia Accords finally erupted!
First, over seventy countries worldwide announced that from now on, they would no longer allow the Avengers to enter their territory without permission!
Even for tourism, an application must be submitted to the embassy, and only after the application is approved will entry be permitted!
Subsequently;
The United States announced that it would no longer recognize the official legality of the Avengers.
This meant that the Avengers would not be able to continue any activities within the United States in the future.
Of course!
If they weren't afraid of violating United States law, they could ignore this.
And almost on the same day, the Avengers' Base was sealed by the United States official authorities!
The reason given was building code violations.
As for what was in violation?
This was not stated, only that it was a violation, and then it was sealed.
However, when the United States official authorities acted, the Avengers had already packed up and taken away some items from the Base, and they themselves had stopped coming there over a week ago.
Therefore;
The United States official authorities also sealed nothing.
And were even sued by Stark Industries' legal department!
According to the strength of Stark Industries' legal department, the final outcome would most likely be that the United States official authorities would lose the case.
Some might ask, even if it's the United States official authorities, how would the court dare to rule against them?
This requires an explanation of the United States' judicial system.
The courts, and some Supreme Court Justices, hold a very special status in the United States.
Therefore, many times you will see situations where people sue the United States official authorities and actually win.
After all, to put it plainly, the United States is a capitalist country.
Capital first!
The official authorities are just a representative on the surface.
Behind the scenes;
Those rich people are the Master of the United States!
And Tony Stark is undoubtedly a part of capital.
So the final outcome will definitely be Stark Industries winning the case!
It's just that now, not only the person in the Black Palace is making a move, but the Military is also dissatisfied with the Avengers.
Apparently, they want to control the powerful Avengers team and want to use them for their own purposes.
But the Avengers refused to comply.
This offended the Military!
To a certain extent, the person in the Black Palace is at most a spokesperson.
But the real power generals in the Military are different.
They truly have the ability to overturn the table!
Even capital has to give face to the Military, otherwise, no matter how rich they are, it's useless.
Of course;
In the United States, the existence of capital and the Military is mutually beneficial.
The two sides are very good partners.
Unless absolutely necessary, they will not turn against each other; even if there are conflicts, they will discuss and resolve them behind closed doors.
They won't cause a big stir outside.
...
"You mean, you want me to teleport that unfinished Spaceship of yours into space?"
Stark Industries, top floor lounge.
Luo Di looked at Tony, who had a cut near his eye, and repeated the meaning of what he had just said.
Just now;
Luo Di had come to deliver another batch of Vibranium to Tony.
Then Luo Di was planning to take the money and leave directly.
But Tony suddenly said he wanted to ask him for a favor.
"Not a Spaceship, but another Space Base."
Tony explained.
"So you even found time to build a Space Base?"
Luo Di was a bit surprised, mainly because it had only been a short month, and Tony was truly busy!
"It's just a main framework, many internal facilities still need to be done, and the entire process will take about three months to complete."
Tony explained, "Before, I considered using a Spaceship as the Avengers' new Base, but then I discovered a problem: the volume of a Spaceship cannot be too large."
"If it's too large, power is a problem, and materials are also a very troublesome matter."
At first, Tony's idea was indeed to directly build a huge Spaceship, similar to an aerospace carrier or even larger in volume.
But later, when Tony actually started manufacturing, he found that things were not that simple.
The larger the volume of the Spaceship, the higher the energy requirements!
And it increases exponentially.
Not like 1+1=2.
Therefore;
Tony was depressed to find that the energy he could provide seemed insufficient to power a large Spaceship for navigation in space.
Even if the Avengers didn't actually intend to leave the Solar System, they didn't want to, but a Spaceship couldn't lack that capability, could it?
So;
After much consideration, Tony still decided to build two small Spaceships and then a large Space Base.
The concept is somewhat similar to Asgard as described by Thor.
But not as big as Asgard.
And it's not open-ended.
In fact, Tony couldn't understand the existence principle of Asgard.
A giant, super-large island floating in space?
But how did it manage to isolate the inside from the external Universe space?
Surely it doesn't have an atmosphere too?
After much thought, Tony could only attribute it to magic.
After all, Asgard also has magic.
Loki, who had caused trouble on the Blue Planet before, knew some magic.
It was just quite bad!
And the Avengers' Base obviously couldn't completely copy Asgard.
Therefore, Tony finally decided to build a floating castle.
However, it doesn't float in the sky, but in the deep space orbit of the Blue Planet, and will revolve uniformly around the entire Planet due to the Blue Planet's gravity.
Just like the Moon.
Of course, it's not as big as the Moon!
Building such a Space Base was not technically difficult for Tony.
The only trouble was the time required for manufacturing.
Therefore, considering that the Avengers couldn't always be separated, Tony first built an external main framework, and as for some internal details, they were still ongoing.
However, with the main body of the Base in place, the subsequent work no longer needed to remain on the Blue Planet.
Considering that they themselves did not have the ability to send such a large Base into space.
So Tony found Luo Di.
In fact, from the very beginning, Tony had thought of asking Luo Di for this favor.
No choice;
Among the people he knew, only Luo Di possessed such an ability.
Otherwise, who would he find to send a Space Base weighing hundreds of thousands of tons and with a maximum diameter exceeding 4.5 kilometers into space?
Even if the World's largest Rocket were tied together, it couldn't do it!
But if Luo Di helped.
Then it wouldn't be a problem at all.
It could be done easily!
"Whether it's a Space Base or a Spaceship."
Luo Di said after listening to Tony's explanation, "I just want to ask, why should I help you? Don't forget we had a conflict before."
"But didn't we reconcile?" Tony said with a fawning smile, "Besides, Wanda is also a member of the Avengers, you can't let your girlfriend not even have a place to work, can you?"
"Actually, I'd be quite willing for Wanda to stay home every day."
Luo Di said indifferently.
Tony, "..."
No!
Dude, why aren't you playing by the rules?
Helpless, Tony had no choice but to ask Luo Di what reward he wanted.
As long as the Avengers could provide it, they would definitely do it for him.
