Outside the atmosphere.

The sun turned to the other side of the earth, and a ray of sunlight shone along the horizon, shining peacefully on this blue planet. Astronauts who can enter space are lucky, and not everyone has the opportunity to see the beautiful picture of the planet that raised them.

But sometimes, they are unfortunate. Space is an unknown area for humans after all, and they always have to consider anything that can happen and be prepared for the worst accident.

Just like now.

Because of the sudden interference of the mysterious hacker organization "Ascend to Heaven", all the space stations of the US military on the surface track were out of the orbit at this moment. No, it is not appropriate to say that they are disengaged. It is better to say that they are being pulled out of their orbits like an invisible external force and throw them down towards the earth like a shot put. The atmosphere ruthlessly burned the outer shell of the space station, and the metal coating turned black carbon, and the parts kept falling off, like peeled eggs.

The two astronauts stationed at the station operated in the cabin sweating profusely, but both were futile.

"Our speed is nearly 80 miles per hour, and the gravity will be more significant after breaking through the atmosphere and will accelerate!" a man shouted.

"Damn it, isn't the boosting system online yet?" his companion asked.

"No response!" the astronaut shouted, "All systems are not responding, and we can't even contact the ground to report the situation! We're going to finish!"

The moment the words came, the hull suddenly shook, as if a green bullet shot through the hull, and the armored cabin with green divine light lingered in.

The two astronauts were startled: "Who are you?"

"Help." Eric said briefly, quickly observing the situation inside the hull. Without saying a word, he raised his hand, and the green light beam turned into a bubble and wrapped the two astronauts in it, throwing his arm out of the hole in the cabin.

The two astronauts screamed: "What are you going to do!?"

"The energy shield will protect you from landing, don't panic." Eric didn't look back, "I want to stay and change the landing position of this ship."

According to the fall trajectory, below is a densely populated area. This big guy weighing countless tons accelerates from this height and throws it like a heavy bomb, with incalculable destructive power. Eric must guide it to deviate from the fall trajectory and fall to some places like unmanned mountains.

This should not be too difficult. It is just using the green light energy to visualize it and push it away from the direction instead of completely stopping this big guy. This is not a big burden for the armor.

Eric flew out to the outside of the hull, and the green light turned into a row of thrusters and installed on the hull. The thrusters were ejected with full power, pushing the space station to move horizontally. Although the offset speed was not fast, at such an altitude, it would be possible to successfully land in an empty valley without any surprise.

However, an accident happened.

Without warning, the space station itself suddenly broke out. The metal shell that had been burned and deformed by the atmosphere suddenly lifted up as if it had been torn apart, like a sharp blade sweeping towards Eric. Eric was shocked, and the green light energy almost subconsciously turned into a sword blade and cut the hot iron piece.

But before it was finished, the circuit buried in the metal wall inside the cabin suddenly exploded. Several electronic pipes drilled out of the circuit board like a python and rushed out of the hull. Without saying a word, they tied Eric's upper body tightly like a chain. The broken mouth was raised like a snake's head, and the blue arc jumped towards Eric's helmet.

It was as if the space station itself was resisting his interference. When Eric had this idea, he was shocked himself.

Meanwhile, the other side of the surface track.

Lighthouse, the most advanced space station for humanity, is also the only two of the eight space projects hacked by hackers. It is a space station jointly developed by the United States, Japan and Russia for seven years. They plan to make its existence public next year - if the political time is ripe.

This is a completely new space station, designed to serve as the center of deep cosmic exploration, small, high-speed and extremely strong. But even with such many advantages, it cannot help it escape the same fate as other aviation projects - turning into an ultra-speed missile to smash it towards the earth.

Iron Man was the first to arrive here. The laser beam of his armor melted the shell and cut a hole to help him enter. The interior of the "lighthouse" was simply a mess, and precision instruments and equipment floated freely in a weightless environment, mixed with broken wires with electric sparks.

Iron Man used a repulsive cannon to penetrate the door leading to the cockpit and tore open the remaining layer of iron with his bare hands. Two astronauts were holding the operating table to prevent it from being sucked out of the cabin. The moment he saw Iron Man, he seemed to see a savior.

"Are everyone okay?" A sound that had been processed by a mechanical one came from under the Iron Man's helmet.

"Iron Man! Thank God!" a astronaut shouted, "We are all fine, but the space station is like suddenly looking crazy. All instruments explode automatically, and parts pop out wildly, as if they suddenly have their own thoughts..."

"It sounds ridiculous." Iron Man jumped down and entered the cabin. "The main thruster should not be broken, but the system failed. Jarvis, see if the thruster system can be connected to my armored system. I will manually activate the booster and let the thing fly again...ah!"

As soon as he said this, a piece of mechanical arm had shot into the hole he had just pierced through like electricity, and suddenly grabbed Iron Man's waist and threw him out.

The robotic arm made of tungsten carbide was originally used to clean up space rocks, but now it has gone crazy with the space station.

Iron Man fell into the middle of a pile of broken and useless parts. As soon as he raised his head, the robot arm suddenly shot. He raised his arm quickly and quickly, and the repulsive cannon in his palm roared out, shattering the joints of the robot arm.

But he had just gotten up, and the pile of broken copper and iron under him was unhappy again. A pile of cracked wires, discarded parts that could not be called, hugged his body like claws and tentacles, and stopped him from standing up.

"Damn! What's the situation? The Machine Mobilization?" Tony complained.

"Sir, the armor system is out of response." Jarvis's voice rang.

"What!?" Tony said in shock, "Impossible! There is no way for any hacker on Earth to break through my system so easily, and it is even more impossible for someone to invade without disturbing my firewall at all!"

"No hacking of any kind was detected, sir." Jarvis continued, "but the armored system has been offline."

"Restart for me!"

"No response, the instruction is invalid."

Sweat began to seep from Tony's forehead. If this continues, Iron Man's armor will only turn into a pile of useless scrap iron. Even he will fall down with the space station and smash it into meat paste.

What exactly is this "ascension"? It's beyond the scope of capabilities that hackers may have?

Fortunately, he is not the only one who came to support the "Lighthouse".

At the invisible super-high speed, the afterimage sticks to the orbit of the earth, as if it was shot out from the ray of sunlight on the horizon, and flew straight towards the "lighthouse".

The metal cabin was easily torn apart like paper, and the red boots fell into the messy cabin. The bright red cloak was majestic against the background of the sunshine in the universe. He appeared here with a heroic spirit. His super high speed made him look like he moved instantly, and there was an eye-catching "s" printed on his blue uniform chest.

Tony recognized him, and people on Earth called him "Superman".
