Inside the Venus base, the leaders of the Illuminati were holding an emergency meeting about the solar storm and how to rescue Dr. Reed and the others.
"A powerful solar storm has erupted. There were no signs before, and we didn't find any suspicious signs, including the activity of sunspots. Everything is normal during this time," Dr. Hank said with a serious face. He didn't even have time to push up his black-rimmed glasses.
"It's a deeper implosion. Unless we can build an observation station near the sun, our means of inspection are still limited, especially since the sun itself is a huge energy radiation source. Most energy monitoring tools can't explore the sun in depth. We'll be blocked by the sun's huge electromagnetic and thermal radiation," Tony said. His expression was not good.
"Since our ancestors, Earth has enjoyed the sunlight of Earth for billions of years, but we've only conducted real research on the sun for a few short decades. We know too little about the sun!"
"Now is not the time to talk about this, Tony!" Captain Rogers interrupted Tony. He had just rushed over from the Divine Sword Bureau.
"What we need now is to save Dr. Reed and the others. Can the Ark survive this solar storm?"
Tony's expression changed. "You know, an extra gram of extra weight on a spacecraft is a waste. When I designed the Ark, I made it extremely lightweight."
Li Jie slammed the table. "Speak human!"
"Well, the thinnest part of the Ark is only five millimeters, which means that the doctors are only five millimeters away from the cold space. I have an umbrella designed to resist the solar wind, but that's for them to use on the moon. It can only cover a semicircle, and the solar wind in space is 360 degrees."
Tony didn't need to say the rest because it was clear that he didn't need to say it.
"The solar wind will seriously interfere with the electronic equipment of the Ark. Even if Reed and the others are wearing spacesuits and staying in the sturdiest escape capsule in the spacecraft to avoid being directly irradiated to death by the solar wind, the electronic failure caused by the storm will cause all the electronic equipment of the Ark to fail, and then it will become a space coffin."
Tony's description was the best case scenario.
Dr. Banner frowned and asked, "I remember that the Ark is flying a little faster than those space shuttles. Can't they land on Earth before the solar wind arrives?"
Tony shook his head. "No, they've been on the Moon for a year, and they've done a lot of scientific research projects. They've also built an entire living area and a mine. They don't have much energy left. The energy they've reserved is only for emergencies. If they accelerate towards Earth, they won't have enough fuel. They'll slow down when they enter the atmosphere. If they exceed the designed maximum speed, they'll disintegrate!"
Li Jie shook his head. Tony's helium-3 mining plan was very hasty, and his relationship with Tony was not that good at the time. Tony did not tell him about it. Tony even had a falling out with Peppa Pepper and Dr. Ethan because of this matter. It even caused the chaos in Eastern Europe.
Now it seemed that Tony's original plan was still too messy. It was a bit like a decision made on a whim. It was precisely because of this incident that Tony calmed down and began to consider the establishment of the Illuminati.
"In other words, it's impossible for Dr. Reed and the others to rely on themselves to save themselves?" Li Jie asked Tony. Tony nodded helplessly. Li Jie expressed that he understood, then said to Thor, "Get ready, Thor, I need you to make another appearance. You can use Thor's identity or anything else. We can't let Dr. Reed and the others die in space like this!"
Li Jie vaguely remembered that the Fantastic Four seemed to have mutated after being blown by the solar wind, but his entry into this world had changed a lot of things. He could not guarantee that the rest of the things would progress according to what he knew.
Also, handing over the fate of Dr. Reed and the others to the so-called fate of the plot? And then doing nothing? Especially now that he had the ability to save them, and it was a piece of cake for him, Li Jie could not just sit back and do nothing.
Putting aside the value of the Helium-3 ore carried in the ark, Dr. Reed and the others were the pioneers of Earth's journey into space. The four of them had spent a lonely year on the moon. Even if they did not say it, everyone knew very well that even if they did not say it.
A year of living in space, arduous work, and the loneliness of facing problems that could only be solved by the four of them, they had endured all of it. Li Jie did not know much about Dr. Reed's previous personality, but this did not prevent Li Jie from admiring the current Dr. Reed. He was the pioneer of mankind's journey into space! How could they let such a pioneer die in space?
"Friday (the artificial intelligence of the Venusian base), prepare 32 Double-class battleships. I want to use them now." Li Jie was the actual commander of the Venusian fleet. In the first order, only he had the authority to mobilize the Venusian fleet.
"Yes, Commander. The battleships are getting ready. They are expected to take off in 40 minutes," Friday replied in a voice that sounded like Pepper Pepper.
Li Jie nodded at Thor, motioning for him to follow him.
"Wait, what's your plan? Are we going to charge straight in? " Captain Rogers stopped Li Jie. "There are still more than 50 hours left. We have to think about how to deal with this matter first. If there is no other way, you and Thor will appear directly."
Captain Rogers was right. Although Venus was not close to the moon, for the Venusian fleet, it was only a matter of time before they reached the moon.
Li Jie looked at Captain Rogers and said, "I just don't want any accidents to happen. The Double-class battleships will enter stealth mode and then activate the protective field on the surface to form a protective circle around the Ark. This will help them resist and reduce the impact of the solar wind. This is the least likely way to be discovered. Bringing Thor is just a precaution."
What Li Jie said made sense. Captain Rogers nodded in agreement with Li Jie's plan. This was probably the best way. Captain Rogers had just heard some NSNA technical officials talking in the Heavenly Sword Bureau. They said that they did not have any good ideas. They could only let Dr. Reed and the others resign themselves to fate.
Several other members of the Illuminati agreed with Li Jie's idea. Li Jie was able to come up with an invisible fortress plan in an instant. In order to ensure that there would be no other accidents, the other leaders in the Illuminati said that they would let Li Jie and Thor make such preparations first.
Dr. Banner, who joined first, had some ideas after thinking about the plan that Li Jie had just proposed. He frowned for a moment, then stretched his brows and said to everyone. "Everyone, this is actually a good opportunity for us!" "That's right.
Everyone looked at Dr. Banner, who stood up and said, "The Illume-union is very strong. The combined energy of everyone here can easily change the direction of the Earth. It can even be said that the Venusian fleet can beat the Earth without the ability to fight back."
"We've been trying to play the role of the hen protecting the chicks, but even the chicks will grow up one day. I've always said that we need to let the Earth learn to grow up. The universe is magnificent, but it's also dangerous. This won't be the last time. Maybe we should try to let the Earth solve this problem on its own. Jason's plan gave me an idea. I think we can give it a try. “
Dr. Banner raised a finger and smiled.
