Nick Fury puts down a modified mobile phone, then throws it into the toilet toilet and flushes it away.

That mobile phone can control satellites.

The United States proposed a strategy in the 1980s - the Star Wars plan.

The background for the introduction of the "Star Wars Project" was in the late Cold War. Since the Soviet Union had more powerful nuclear attack power and missile penetration capabilities than the United States, the United States was afraid that the "nuclear balance" would be broken, and needed to establish an effective anti-missile system.

It ensures the survivability and reliable deterrence of its strategic nuclear forces and maintains its nuclear superiority. At the same time, the United States also wants to rely on its strong economic strength to bring down the Soviet economy through competition in space weapons.

The plan consists of two parts: the "Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Defense Plan" and the "Anti-Satellite Plan". Its budget is as high as more than 1 trillion US dollars. The interception system consists of space-based reconnaissance satellites and space-based anti-missile satellites forming the first line of defense, using conventional warheads

Or directional weapons attack strategic missiles in the stages of launch and passage through the atmosphere; land-based or ship-based laser weapons destroy the separation warheads that have penetrated the atmosphere; space-based directional weapons, electromagnetic kinetic energy weapons or land-based or ship-based laser weapons attack the missiles in the atmosphere again

Nuclear warheads flying before entering the atmosphere; using anti-missile missiles, kinetic energy weapons, particle beams and other weapons to destroy "fish that slip through the net" after re-entering the atmosphere. Through the above four lines of defense, a 99% destruction rate for incoming nuclear bombs can be ensured.

At the same time, when a nuclear war occurs, anti-satellite weapons are used to destroy enemy military satellites and weaken the enemy's surveillance, early warning, communication, and navigation capabilities.

Due to the high cost and technical difficulty of the system plan, many planned projects, such as the famous "X-30", "X-33", etc. were eventually extended indefinitely or even terminated. Coupled with the subsequent disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States has

After spending nearly 100 billion U.S. dollars, it announced the suspension of the "Star Wars Project" in the 1990s.

However, this plan is not actually over. At least someone is secretly pursuing it...such as SHIELD, or Hydra.

They found this idea very interesting and carried it forward. They valued the idea of ​​"space-based weapons". They wanted a means that could be used in outer space and strike anywhere in the world.

So they developed satellites carrying space-based weapons.

But later, this plan was terminated.

Because it's too expensive.

The deployment cannot be completed without the support of the government, but a few of those space-based weapons satellites have been retained.

And Nick Fury happens to have access to those satellites.
