The Tycoon's Odyssey

Chapter 232: 232:Launch Of Satellites

4 days after...

The air crackled with anticipation at the United States Launch Complex (USL) as engineers and spectators gathered to witness another historic moment.

Under the bright afternoon sun, the sleek SpaceX rocket stood proudly on the launch pad, its fuselage glistening against the backdrop of the clear, azure sky. Among its payload were two newly developed satellites from Macrosoft, signaling the tech giant's bold leap into the realm of aerospace innovation.

"Countdown at T-minus 10 seconds," a voice crackled over the comms, pulling everyone's attention to the massive screen that displayed the launch sequence.

Evan stood among the engineers, his heart racing as the final seconds ticked away. He had closely followed Macrosoft's journey into satellite technology, and the prospect of their satellite creation research facility yielding operational satellites was awe-inspiring.

"Three… two… one… ignition!"

A thunderous roar erupted as the rocket's engines ignited, blasting flames and smoke as it lifted off the ground. The force shook the ground beneath their feet, and cheers erupted from the crowd. The rocket climbed steadily into the sky, cutting through the atmosphere and disappearing into the clouds.

"Payload separation confirmed!" came the announcement a few moments later, followed by the crowd erupting in a round of applause. The Macrosoft satellites were now in orbit, ready to enhance global communication and data connectivity.

A similar scene was unfolding in Indra.

Two days later, the atmosphere at the Indra Space Organization (ISO) launch site was electric. The rising sun was just about to cast a golden hue over the launch pad where the ISO rocket, adorned with the organization's emblem, stood poised for another mission.

This time, it was a satellite dedicated to communication, and along with it were payloads from Singular Gaming Corps and several other partners.

"We're making history once again today," the lead engineer announced, excitement palpable in his voice. "This satellite will enhance real-time communications across the globe, revolutionizing connectivity for gaming and beyond."

The countdown began, echoing across the launch site. The engineers, clad in their ISO uniforms, exchanged glances filled with anticipation.

Daniel, who had made his way to witness this launch site, couldn't help but smile at the collaborative spirit that was driving the space industry forward.

The satellites might bear different names, but they all shared a common goal—one that was soon going to be instrumental for them later.

"Three… two… one… liftoff!"

The rocket roared to life, its engines igniting with a deafening blast that shook the ground. It surged upward, trailing plumes of smoke as it ascended into the dawn sky. The crowd erupted into cheers as the rocket broke through the atmosphere, carrying with it dreams of enhanced connectivity for gamers and businesses alike.

"Satellite deployment successful!" the operations manager announced after a few moments of tense silence, causing the audience to erupt into applause once more as they celebrated the milestone.

As the satellite began to hover in its orbit, its compact structure began unfolding in a synchronized ballet of mechanical precision. Evan stood in the control room, his eyes glued to the massive screens displaying the satellite's live feed, watching it intently. The once-small satellite expanded into a humongous array of interconnected components, each designed to optimize its operational capacity.

With the deployment sequence initiated, the satellite activated its mechanical arms. Solar panels extended outward, capturing the sun's rays, while communication antennas fanned out, enhancing its signal reach. The onboard artificial intelligence, Aurora, calculated the optimal angles for energy absorption and transmission, ensuring maximum efficiency.

"Deployment sequence successful," Evan announced, a sense of awe evident in his voice.

As the satellite fully settled into its operational configuration, it established a secure link with Aurora's quantum servers. Utilizing the principles of quantum entanglement, the satellite created a high-speed communication channel capable of transmitting vast amounts of data instantaneously.

[Data transfer initiated], Aurora chimed in, her voice steady and reassuring. The satellite then began receiving real-time data packets: atmospheric conditions, ground activity reports, and operational metrics from connected devices. Each packet was encrypted with advanced algorithms to ensure security during the transmission.

In the control room, Evan closely monitored the satellite's status, his heart racing with excitement. He knew the significance of this moment, his vision which he had been waiting for, was finally becoming a reality.

As the satellite processed the incoming data, Aurora's triumphant voice cut through the silence.

[The satellite has been successfully placed in orbit and is currently operating at full capacity. All systems are green, and data transmission is functioning optimally. We are now ready to commence global communications.] Find exclusive chapters on m-vl-em-py-r

A wave of exhilaration washed over Evan as he allowed himself a small smile. This was more than just a technological marvel; it was a crucial step toward his vision of a connected future.

"Excellent work, Aurora," Evan said, his voice filled with pride but the next moment, his expression turned serious as he glanced at the date.

1st June 2024…

Having their own satellite finally set the link they lacked for future use. No matter what, connectivity and everything depended on these scraps floating in outer space, so having one of their own was better than relying on others.

Evan looked at Aurora and then at the lazy system slumping down in the VR world, munching on digital foods.

Ignoring the system, Evan turned back to Aurora, "Is everything prepared?"

[Yes!]

[Land, weapons, manpower, air forces, land armies, and even space forces… we now have it all.]

[At present, we have 20,000 soldiers on standby in Nicobar itself. We have 67 bases operating in Indra led by Roman and Victor, 4 hideouts in USL and 9 in Great Royal. In total, we command an army of around 100K well-trained soldiers, converted from thugs, ready to lay down their lives along with almost 190 superhumans.]

A world map blinked before Evan's eyes and was flashed with many red dots. Creating superhumans had been a daunting task because despite removing all side effects not everybody was compatible to undergo mutation.

Out of every thousand candidates, hardly 2-3 could undergo the transformation. Also, Evan couldn't just convert anyone under him to superhuman. And so, only the utmost rusted and capable people were chosen. If he ignored all the risks, he could produce 1000 more of them.

"How many are In Indra?"

[According to the data, there are currently 720 superhumans in Indra. Many of them serve as hidden guards for powerful families, but our superhumans are much stronger than them.]
