Seeing Professor Williams, Stark's hanging heart relaxed.

When the full-band electromagnetic strike arrived, Williams's transport plane was flying over the African continent. After the communication was lost, Stark's heart hung in the air. Although only a few hours later, the reconnaissance plane dispatched by the US military urgently discovered the C-17A transport plane over the North Atlantic, and also contacted the pilot, confirming that Williams and the others were safe and sound, but the tele-control equipment and communication system were paralyzed, but before seeing Williams, Stark could not be at ease, because Williams had indispensable value.

Two years ago, Stark personally came forward to pro-Williams as the chief scientific adviser to the United States, knowing that this unruly scientist would change the future of the United States and even the Anthropocene world. The reason is that after listening to Stark's introduction, Williams turned down the position of chief scientific adviser of the United States, and was only willing to be responsible for all secret scientific research projects in the United States, and gave Stark a reason why he could not refuse.

At that time, Williams frankly told Stark that the Planetary Defense Council was just a front and that the United States could never pin its future on this international body. According to Williams, the United States is the most powerful country in the world, with the most powerful scientific and technological strength, and has the obligation to defend human civilization. Even if it comes at a staggering cost, the benefits are huge.

Stark was persuaded by Williams to take his advice.

In the past two years, the United States has invested a total of $2.4 trillion in the Planetary Defense Council, and more than $14 trillion has been allocated to secret scientific research projects, which is almost six times the amount of the former. In addition to this, the United States has indirectly benefited more than two trillion dollars from the Planetary Defense Council.

Such a huge investment is almost entirely controlled and controlled by Williams.

In a sense, Stark pinned the future of America on Williams.

Williams did not disappoint him, not only created the shadow force and formed the X force, but also indirectly participated in the development of the super launch vehicle and the Hubble-2 space telescope, designed the basic structure of the International Space Station, and established a set of highly automated command and control systems for the US military.

It's just that two years is too short.

Although the development cycle of most secret scientific research projects is set at two years, due to practical factors, almost none of them can be completed within the planned time.

Stark knew that it wasn't Williams' responsibility.

Williams is extremely smart, but he is only one person, and he can't do all the work in every detail, and other researchers are far worse than him.

Stark's trust and reuse of Williams had a negative effect.

That is, without Williams, most of the secret scientific research projects in the industry would be affected, or even impossible to complete.

It was because of this that Williams had an accident on his way back home, which made Stark uneasy.

Luckily, Professor Williams is back.

"General!"

"Professor, I'm relieved that you can come back safely."

"There was a little trouble, but it's all over." Williams was polite, "I heard that you have decided to establish a scientific research base on Long Island, and invited scientists from other countries to come and work with us to develop advanced technology to deal with the invasion, and you have also made security guarantees?" ”

"I didn't consult you, but I'm sure you'll do the same."

Williams nodded and said, "The warning issued by China is indeed worth paying attention to, and if this speculation is put forward by Luo Jinyong, it needs to be paid close attention." ”

"It has been confirmed that it was indeed proposed by Luo Jinyong." Stark knows that Williams admires only one person, Professor Luo Jinyong of China. In Williams's eyes, other scientists are not worth mentioning, except for Luo Jinyong. Williams even proposed that after defeating the invading extraterrestrial civilization, he must try to buy Luo Jinyong, and if the purchase fails, he must be eliminated by any means.

"In that case, maybe a military invasion will come soon."

"The time has come for full-band electromagnetic strikes to paralyze the vast majority of the world's electrical and electronic equipment. Although some electrical and electronic equipment has been preserved through electromagnetic shielding, the overall productivity of human beings has fallen to the level of the pre-industrial civilization. ”

Williams frowned and said, "If that's the case, we need to work together with other countries." ”

"So after Yang Fanglie proposed to strengthen the scientific advisory board and let the committee lead global scientific research, I took the opportunity to propose that the scientific research base be set up on Long Island, and my country would provide all kinds of guarantees, and other countries would send the best scientists to come, and we would provide the most comprehensive security guarantees."

"This idea was first proposed by Yang Fanglie?"

"What, is there a problem?"

"Did he promise to send Luo Jinyong over?"

Stark nodded and said, "He has already agreed, and half an hour ago, Luo Jinyong's special plane arrived over Alaska, and it is expected to arrive in New York in eight hours." I have arranged for fighter jets to escort him, and I have sent Burke to meet him at JFK airfield. ”

"Burke is back, too?"

"Arrived two hours before you."

"Since Yang Fanglie sent Luo Jinyong over, it's not a big problem."

"What do you mean......"

"If Yang Fanglie took the initiative to establish a scientific research base and carry out scientific research cooperation, but did not send Luo Jinyong here, I am afraid it will be a big deal."

Stark was stunned for a moment, then understood what Williams meant. This means that it is very likely that China has already acquired the advanced technology of extraterrestrial civilizations, or at least mastered the methods and means to obtain advanced technologies of extraterrestrial civilizations, and the establishment of scientific research bases is nothing more than to disperse the scientific research capabilities of other countries and ensure that China can be the first to make major breakthroughs, so as to master the strength to lead human civilization to resist invasion.

Yang Fanglie sent Luo Jinyong over, and this problem does not exist.

Williams is unique, Luo Jinyong is also unique, and there is no reason to believe that there is another scientist in China who is as capable as Luo Jinyong.

"Professor, are you going to work in scientific research?"

"No, let Burke be in charge." Williams shook his head and said, "As always, we still have to focus on existing scientific research projects, and we can't pin our hopes on the Planetary Defense Committee, let alone expect major breakthroughs in collaborative scientific research projects." Now that we have the initiative, we are the biggest beneficiary even if we make significant gains. ”

Stark nodded and said, "In addition, Russian researchers have also set off, and researchers from France, Germany, and Italy are expected to arrive in two days." ”

"Questions?"

"It was indeed unexpected that Yang Fanglie and Sergeyev were so active. The construction of the scientific research base has only begun and will be completed in a week. ”

"Then let them live on Long Island and let Smith handle it."

"Don't you think this is a great opportunity to get rid of Luo Jinyong?"

"No, you must not get rid of Luo Jinyong now. Not to mention for the time being, what kind of reaction Yang Fanglie will make to the accident of Luo Jinyong's special plane in China's airspace, before we defeat the invading army of extraterrestrial civilizations, Luo Jinyong is very valuable, not only can we not deal with him, but we must protect him and fully support his scientific research work. Williams paused for a moment and said, "We've talked about this before. ”

Stark let out a long sigh and said, "Okay, just do what you want." ”

"Nothing else, I'll go to Alamos Labs later."

"Something to gain on the island of Amsterdam?" That's when Stark asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Locke is dead, but there is a place to die."

"What?" Stark frowned. Although Unit X was created by Williams, each of the X-Fighters was personally invited by Stark.

"Locke's death, and what happened next, proved one of my guesses."

"What speculation?"

"The Y object suddenly disappeared forty-eight hours after its arrival, leaving behind a sphere. After the disappearance of the sphere, a strong earthquake struck the island of Amsterdam, which also triggered a volcanic eruption, and the emergency was a full-band electromagnetic strike. Don't you think all this is a manifestation of wisdom? ”

Stark frowned, thinking seriously about the meaning of Williams's words.

To put it bluntly, the Y object first spent 48 hours understanding the basic structure of the Earth, and then went deep into the center of the Earth, leaving the sphere to stabilize the structure of the Earth's crust. After all the energy of the Y object is integrated into the center of the earth, the sphere disappears, blocking the passage through earthquakes and volcanoes. Subsequently, all the energy of the Y object was converted into electromagnetic energy, which disintegrated the human resistance in the simplest and most direct way. ”

"If that's the case, the Y object is an intelligent being, at least a smart device."

Williams nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.

"The question is, what is the significance of this discovery?"

"General, this is not a discovery, but a confirmation of my suspicions. I believe that Luo Jinyong has a similar guess, and through what has happened, he will have no doubt about this guess, but he has no evidence to prove this guess, and I have the evidence. ”

"This ......"

"To a serious scientist, any speculation that is not fully proven is just speculation and cannot be used as a basis for a key theory. Now that I have the evidence, speculation ceases to be speculation, and this will be a solid foundation for coming up with key theories and deepening them. ”

"Well, what evidence do you have?"

"That orb is self-defensive."

"What!?"

"At that time, Locke tried to jump onto the orb, and just a few meters away from the orb, he was killed by a beam of light from the orb."

"This ......"

"Obviously, this is no longer ordinary wisdom, but self-aware wisdom, that is, higher wisdom." Williams paused for a moment and said, "This is the advanced intelligence that only higher beings have, and before that, only humans had advanced intelligence. ”

"What kind of gains can this discovery bring?"

"I don't know what to do, so I'm going to get back to Alamos Labs as soon as possible."

Stark nodded, got up and said, "Then I won't delay your precious time anymore, I will arrange a special plane to take you to New Mexico." ”

"No, I'll take a military transport plane." Williams also stood up, "I'm a dead man, so I have to keep a low profile as much as possible." ”

"That's fine, give me a call when you get there."

After agreeing, Williams took his leave and left. Stark also breathed a sigh of relief, at least he no longer had to worry about Williams' safety.
