Just as Japan was dispatching whaling ships on a large scale for a new round of whaling operations, a spacecraft launched from the rocket launch site at S.H.I.E.L.D. Industrial Park in Los Angeles, United States—the birthplace of the unrest in the United States—and flew toward geostationary orbit amid blazing flames.
After several months of construction and testing, this spacecraft, built using technology Chen Mo had acquired from the Life Foundation in the Venom world, had finally completed all preparations and begun its maiden mission.
Its cargo bay carried thirty-six multifunctional communications and reconnaissance satellites, all of which would be deployed into geostationary orbit at once.
The spacecraft's technology far surpassed the rockets and space shuttles currently used by nations around the world. It was not a one-way disposable vehicle, but could travel back and forth within the Solar System, be reused repeatedly, and continuously carry out a variety of launch missions.
Moreover, this was merely a test flight. Its mission was relatively simple: fly to geostationary orbit and deploy the satellites.
The spacecraft's true purpose was actually space exploration and interplanetary travel. Launching satellites was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut for it, merely a task completed incidentally during flight testing.
With these satellites, S.H.I.E.L.D. Group would have its own satellite network, and J.A.R.V.I.S. would no longer need to infiltrate satellites belonging to other countries and companies to carry out missions.
Without being discovered by the countries and companies that owned those satellites, J.A.R.V.I.S.'s control over them had been relatively limited and inconvenient to use. Their own satellites were different. J.A.R.V.I.S. could control them to alter their orbits at will, adjust their direction, and conduct uninterrupted twenty-four-hour surveillance of targets anywhere. With all the satellites working together, the entire Earth's surface lay within J.A.R.V.I.S.'s grasp.
These satellites did
