After several years of World War II and the long darkness of the roar of guns, since 1945 in the Earth A.D. calendar, mankind has licked the wounds of war and continued to move forward. They yearn for peace immensely, and the economic system is gradually reviving and budding like the grass and trees bathed in spring rain.

Everyone seems to want to erase the pain left by the war, so the dust that they don't want to recall is sealed in the depths of their memories, and they begin to arouse their longing for a new life and strive for the beautiful things of happiness.

Sculptures of peace symbols have spread all over the central squares, war memorials, and even conspicuous corners of the streets and alleys of cities in the United States, but the call for the name of "superhero" has become increasingly low and weak, and it is no longer hung on people's lips every day.

The times make heroes.

The era of war heroes ended with the end of the war, and the first group of heroes officially retired from the stage of history.

There may be people who often talk to their children about the inspirational story of a certain little man who became Captain America, about the legendary deeds of one of the brightest human stars of World War II, but most of the rest is only remembrance and emotion.

Originally, tens of millions of people were lamenting Kyle's retirement from the military, and they signed a petition to apply for retention, but as the months passed, the voice of such a non-governmental organization became less and less.

In 1945. This brand new year, the first day.

Time Magazine, The New York Times, Washington Newspaper and more than a dozen other well-known media jointly published a report on 'Farewell to War and Longing for Peace' on the cover of Kyle, who was wearing a night suit.

Among them, there is a straightforward headline that sparked heated public discussion: 'Strife and enemies are gone, and superheroes are no longer needed in the new era.' ’

Without war, what is the value of the existence of superheroes?

Do humans really need a god who is above everyone?

"Major General Kyle returned at the beginning, and the retirement disappeared from the public, which may be the most normal and unmistakable choice."

"It's not me who insults heroes. The symbol of peace should be a cultural symbol, a statue, living in everyone's heart, not standing in front of us alive and forcing us to bow our heads. ”

"Shut up! We admire him, isn't it normal to bow our heads? It was a legend with brilliant achievements and supreme honors, comparable to that of the gods, and he fought hard to get it back in our current stable era. ”

No matter how noisy people argue, it is difficult to hide a true fact......

Kyle. It undoubtedly represents an era, and now, that era of blood and fire has finally become a textbook history with people's voluntary forgetting, and it has ushered in a frozen end.

Kyle has been in the Carl family's manor, perfecting the family's affairs before leaving, and has not noticed the discussion from the outside world. Even if he knew, he probably smiled faintly and didn't care about it.

After all, from the beginning to the present, he has lived for himself, including fighting and fighting.

As for superheroes, whoever wants to be should go.

……

After Kyle confesses everything to Lucy, it is like a sinking stone in his heart, and he finally lets go of it and soothes a lot.

Coupled with Lucy's willingness to wait for him, the two expressed their hearts to each other, and each other's emotions sublimated again.

This also made Kyle's belief stronger and stronger, and his desire to leave Earth and step into the stars became stronger and stronger.

On the same day, Howard called and brought Kyle another very important news - the base fort of Dragon Turtle Island was completed!

Recruiting a top-notch construction company, ten large transport vessels to carry vehicles and construction materials, and hundreds of employees worked day and night, and it took a month to finally build a base fort on Dragon Turtle Island in the Atlantic Ocean.

When Kyle learns the news, the construction company has completed the handover and all the employees of the engineering team have been evacuated from Dragon Turtle Island.

With a sense of anticipation, Kyle and Lucy pick up Howard, and the three of them go through the portal to the base island together.

The Ancient Giant Dragon Tortoise, since Kyle summoned it, has been sleeping in the heart of the Atlantic Sea, and has not awakened and moved, so much so that for a month, the construction team has been working on its back, and no one has discovered its terrifying true face.

The pristine island on the back of the dragon turtle, an ultra-modern Western-style three-story building stands on the mountain peak, with a disc-shaped shape, with a sense of science and technology, and a silver metallic luster in the sun.

Sparks splash around the circle portal, keeping it suspended outside the fortress door.

Lucy took Kyle's arm, and the two came out of the portal, Kyle raised his eyes and looked at the fortress in front of him, which was no less characteristic than the palace of Wakanda, and pondered, "Howard, how is its defense?" ”

"If you knew what I mixed and matched the outer materials of the fortress building, I wouldn't have asked that."

Howard, dressed as a gentleman in a suit, walked out of the portal and chuckled.

"It can't be vibranium, right?" Kyle tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"That's right." Howard laughs, "After reaching an initial agreement with Wakan, King T'Chaka offered to sell me the original vibranium metal, and I added a layer of vibranium to the façade of the soon-to-be-completed building. ”

"The vibranium exterior wall can withstand intensive missile bombardment. That's a real bother. Kyle sighed.

Currently, there are only two fixed portals that have been created in a hurry, one leading from the Manor to the Stark Industries basement, and the other from Stark Industries to the Wakanda Realm.

While studying the field of science and technology, Howard also took the trouble to buy vibranium ore in Wakanda, and airlifted it to Dragon Turtle Island to complete the construction of the fortress, which shows his intentions.

"What do you and I have to worry about, this fortress building is not also my shelter in the future." Howard smiled and walked towards the closed metal door of the fortress building, "Don't worry, I'll see you more surprises later." ”

Howard walked to the door, took a deep breath, and said to the door, "Jarvis, open the door." ”

'Voice discrimination is activated - detection is successful, entry is allowed. ’

Accompanied by the mechanical discourse of men. A camera poked out of the wall on top and pointed at Howard in front of the door for a second look, and the metal door quickly opened, "Welcome back, Mr. Howard." ”

Kyle saw this, blinked and said, "You brought your supercomputer over?" ”

As if recognizing Kyle's words, the loudspeaker at the door spoke again, "Welcome back, Master Kyle." ”

"It's funny." Lucy covered her mouth and laughed.

Jarvis: "Welcome back, Mrs. Lucy. ”

"This intelligent system ......" Lucy bit her lip lightly, blushing and burying her face in her chest.

"It seems that Jarvis's performance is more humane and intelligent." Kyle commented.

"This is just a voice system, completely integrated with a supercomputer, and it is still an intelligent program that operates according to the instructions I entered in advance, and it is not the same active thinking and judgment as a human, and it is still far from real artificial intelligence."

Howard sighed slightly and continued, "However, now that it is used to manage the base fortress, it is fully qualified for the position of intelligent steward. ”
