Chapter 13: The Dark Tide
When Zhang Jinyang left, Daisy was very curious to discuss with Sahras the knives behind her back, there were six of those knives, and they formed a circle behind Sahras, which was her ability, and I hope that the battle form would not be scared of little Daisy.
Just as he thought, the president's speech was full of disdain for superhuman races, he actually called genetic evolution a disease, or an "alien infectious disease", although he very firmly refuted the reporter's idea of an extraterrestrial plague, but judging from his fierce performance, his own confidence is not very strong.
This made Zhang Jinyang very unhappy, although this president seems nothing on the surface, but between the lines all show a racist sense of superiority, as if awakening the ability is the worst crime, only "pure-blooded" humans will be welcomed.
He also officially disclosed the existence of the ATCU, because many local governments have begun to learn from New York City and aggressively recruit superhuman beings, after all, these people have their own peculiarities and are helpful to their rule, and the ATCU has not crossed the clear road before, and many places have used this to fight haha and resist their actions.
This is also the result of the power of the Super Town, which provides legal identity and security services for these awakened people, but for those places that support the president's Guan Tian, it is left unchecked - I don't know why, as long as the Super Town gives up, criminal activity is always rampant.
Some people also shouted that this was a conspiracy of Super Town, but the investigation results showed that it was not, and the reason was ridiculous: the security personnel of Super Town all appeared in the guise of superheroes, and fighting crime was both a tradition and a habit, after all, for a long time, they relied on the black money confiscated from fighting crime to maintain their development.
And these people who want to go out in the field must go through the training of the hero training camp, which is the basic skill and the most important thing for how to maintain a positive image in front of the public.
Where there are no such heroic activities, then it is naturally a paradise for criminals - these are things that the ruling class cannot say explicitly, and even suppress such speech.
Then all kinds of mecha began to sell well, and the policemen everywhere had to arm themselves a little better even if they collected black money out of their own pockets, and even if they couldn't afford to buy a full set of armor, they had to buy a glove cuirass or something, because those criminals came to the money faster, and their equipment was always a little better than that of the police.
It's much more complicated, in fact, mecha is like a car, as long as the technology is public, there are always some strange people who can play strange tricks, they call this enthusiast, DIY, to sell and play......
Iron Man's mecha is envied by everyone, but like him, he is so entrenched and directly on various precision machine tools, and no one can afford to consume expensive materials, but general materials, rough processing is not unusable.
When Hammer's military industry collapsed, a large number of skilled workers and engineers had to find other jobs, but not many were satisfied, and many of them were hired by private companies with strange business scopes to restore their work scenes.
Those who have not had a good life, there are also people who secretly buy some spare parts from them, many of them are enthusiasts, they are like taking a taxi, assembling crude armor in their own warehouses, and they have succeeded - the only problem is energy.
The mechs of the Ministry of Defense use high-energy batteries provided by Osborne, which are expensive patented products that many people cannot afford, but fakes are available, although not so stable, but these things of dubious origin can be used.
The market opened up by these folk enthusiasts is the blue ocean of happy young people who are interested in increasing the crime rate of North American eagles, they grab money, research new assembly solutions, and grab them again when they run out of money......
The city without superheroes quickly became a miasma, and it should have been the duty of the ATCU to clean up these high-tech enhancers, but they made it clear that their mission was to capture the Inhumans, these mechas, mutant beasts, and nothing to do with them!
After the president's speech, the local government completely distrusted the policies of Congress and the White House, but most of the cities handed over the power of the state's National Guard to the Department of Defense in order to save money, and when they wanted to learn the autonomy of the defense of New York, they found that they had no manpower.
The police are limited to various regulations and are powerless against high-tech violent crimes, and local forces do not go out without orders from the Department of Defense, which says local policing should go to the FBI, the FBI, the FBI...... Nima is our black pot again!
The FBI's application for an increase in the force value has also been brought back, what does a police department need to do with heavy equipment, aren't you just investigating cases, and you still need mechas, which are national strategic equipment? If other countries know that the dignified North American eagles will use national weapons that are higher than tanks to capture criminals, where will the country's face go?
And the mecha crime has just shown its signs, and it is estimated that the outbreak will be after the change of these congressional lords and government officials, and at this time they will not make wedding clothes for others.
However, what these high-ranking people didn't expect was that someone would do something unlimited in order to cover the Inhumans - Zhang Jinyang sold mecha design drawings in the underground world, a neon version, through the identity of Shida Shinsuke.
These mecha designs are full of neon style, coupled with the style of Osborne's original skateboard suit, which brought him a lot of money, and at first it was very expensive, and then unless someone wanted to see the original, he would have to bargain for thousands of dollars, and he would sell some parts for hundreds of dollars.
Osborne's battery business began to be extremely hot, and even Stark Industries' energy business was much better - although the high-energy batteries produced by Stark Industries were not as long-lasting as Osborne's, their energy network was better and the structure was more stable, and some conservatives liked it.
If there are enough outlets, a rough mech is not much more expensive than a mid-range motorcycle, not to mention wealthy families, and many street gangsters can get one for a few months - but these gangsters have a wide range of outlets.
This is also a new way for them to make a fortune, and those obedient lovers can't find these "good guys" on the bright side, so they have to tremble and find these people with bad reputations to get some good goods.
It turned out to be surprising that these "dirty criminal reserves" were far more credible than the bankers, because in this business, those who did not speak of credibility were all dead—either their heads were shot or their stomachs were broken by starvation.
