Chapter 116: Press Conference

Human beings have had the desire to look up at the stars since birth, and this has been the case since time immemorial.

Especially after the development of modern industry, people have an incomparably magnificent imagination of outer space, but thanks to the unremitting efforts of S.H.I.E.L.D., ordinary people cannot come into contact with such events at all.

After the Great War in New York, humans finally believed in the existence of aliens, and Tony, who returned from outer space, made it clear that he had brought a message of the universe, and this news completely detonated human society.

"This will probably be the most watched press conference since the invention of television."

This is the case with the famous commentator Mark Murphy. A quote from Holperin on NBC's morning news show.

Almost everyone agrees with this view, and Stark Group's press conference will gather global attention, from the Global South to the North Hemisphere, from national leaders to ordinary people, and organizations...

April 12, 2013, 3 p.m.

Stark Tower Press Briefing Room.

Important media representatives from all over the world have gathered here, and not only that, but also the national academies of sciences and some well-known institutes of quantum physics and aerospace have sent representatives.

The audience sat in the dark, and people exchanged news with their peers from time to time.

At the same time, the streets of the once bustling metropolises of various countries are now extremely lonely, and ordinary people are sitting in front of the televisions waiting.

Nick. Sitting alone in his large office staring at the TV, Fury knew he was witnessing the beginning of an era.

Hydra and some villains are not looking for trouble anymore, they are also watching.

Director Ross of the Federal Disaster Relief Agency stared down at the dense list of Hydras, and then looked up at the imminent turmoil on Tony on TV, and finally felt a little lost.

In a dilapidated basement in Sokovia, a young man and woman are watching television, their eyes full of hatred.

"Pietro, what should we do if the murderer who made the weapon turned into a hero who saves the world?"

"Wanda... Two days ago, someone approached me and said that it could give us the power of revenge, and I was a little worried..."

"Promise him, whatever it takes!"

…

Over the unknown sea, Zephyr-1 is flying quietly in the blue sky and white clouds.

Even though S.H.I.E.L.D. was already in a state of dismemberment, Nick Fury knew the truth not to put all his eggs in one basket, so the team led by the resurrected Coulson was formed as scheduled.

"Hurry up, hurry up, why don't you start yet." The newcomer Skye stared at the TV and said anxiously.

"It's just a press conference." Melinda May said expressionlessly.

"Come on, don't tell me you haven't fantasized about flying in a spaceship." Skye said with a fluttering eyebrow.

"I fantasize a lot." Leo Fitz said.

"I have it too!" Jenma Simmons.

The three of them gave a happy high-five.

Melinda May shook her head helplessly, "I only care about what impact it will have on our future actions." ”

"Coulson, have you dealt with both of them?" Skye asked curiously.

"Hmm... They're actually good people. Coulson watched the TV and couldn't help but sigh at the unpredictable changes in the world.

At this time, the light on the TV screen gradually dimmed, and some historical video materials gradually appeared on the huge projection screen behind the press conference stage.

In 1957, the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite in the history of mankind: Sputnik...

In 1961, the Soviet Union successfully launched the world's first manned spacecraft "Vostok" 1, and the cosmonaut on board this spacecraft was Gagarin...

In 1969, the American Apollo 11 spacecraft left Earth and flew to the moon. Armstrong successfully landed on the moon...

In 2010, the International Space Station was completed...

In 2012, the Battle of New York...

In 2013, now...

The lights gradually turned on, and Tony stood in the center of the stage in a rare calm suit, his face looking very serious.

"A remarkable achievement." Tony first clapped at the screen, then turned around, "Maybe many people don't know how difficult it is, the distance from the Earth to the Moon seems short, 384,400 kilometers. But it's enough to stuff all the planets of the solar system. ”

"In the entire history of the planet, there have been 115 billion living people, including 7 billion people who are still alive, and you are one of them. It seems like a huge population, but we don't even have the ability to explore the entire solar system. ”

"And the solar system is just a tiny part of the whole universe, like an atom, and the constantly rotating Milky Way, we just turned around to get to where we are now, and 225 million years have passed, when the dinosaurs were still alive."

"Humans are small. Famine, war, and energy crises constantly threaten our living environment. And things like a nuclear crisis, a meteorite, etc., could wipe us out at any time. ”

"We live on this beautiful planet, blessed with a unique environment that ensures the survival and reproduction of our human beings. But the earth's resources have constrained human development. ”

"Maybe the universe is cold and terrifying. But for the sake of the future of humanity. We need to get out there! ”

"The battle in New York made us realize that the universe is not at peace, but luckily we won."

"As we all know, I fell into the space-time gate. And my friend Li Mo drove in a spaceship to save me. ”

"Riding on his spaceship, I was fortunate enough to see a higher civilization in the universe."

"I brought back not only some information from the universe, but also the basic techniques of astronautics and most importantly, star charts."

"Thanks to someone's generosity, I brought back a couple of prototypes of the curvature engine and jump scanner. The next step is to develop Earth's own curvature engine. ”

As soon as Tony's words fell, the scientific researchers in the audience went crazy first, they thought that there was only information about the universe, but they didn't expect such a big surprise. With this thing, the biggest obstacle to humanity's access to the universe will disappear.

The media personnel also became agitated after inquiring, and the experts who conducted the live broadcast immediately explained the significance of the curvature engine to the audience in front of the television, and the general public could not help but get excited.

"What's next for Stark Group to transform into aerodynamics? Can I buy a curvature engine from other countries? A Russian journalist couldn't help but ask out loud.

Many people held their breath, waiting for Tony's answer. Tony is an American, after all, and with the virtue of the U.S. government, some people have begun to worry about the exploitation they will suffer in the future.

"Stark Group will certainly be involved in the aviation sector." Tony replied in the affirmative, then looked at the audience and spread his arms.

"But all the technical information of astronautics will be shared with all mankind!"

The audience was completely boiling, everyone stood up and applauded desperately, some even jumped up excitedly, cheers and whistles kept ringing...

In the corner where the audience couldn't see on one side of the stage, Li Mo pursed his lips and said to Pepper next to him: "This guy never forgets to be handsome." ”

Pepper shook her head with a smile, looking at Tony who was radiant on the stage, and her heart was also excited.

"Pepper." Li Mo then said thoughtfully: "Tony, this guy looks cynical, but in fact, he has a lot of things in his heart, and he may sometimes collapse and make some irrational decisions, you look at it more." ”

"I see." Pepper nodded, "Are you leaving?" ”

Li Mo nodded, "I still have something to do, I'll leave in a while, and the atmosphere here is a little too fanatical, you know those people, it's quite upset." ”

Pepper agreed: "Indeed, these two days have been crazy. Need me to talk to Tony? ”

"No need, so be it." Li Mo shrugged his shoulders, turned around and walked out of the press conference room.

Tony, who was giving a speech on the stage, saw Li Mo's figure walking out, was silent for a moment, and continued: "The general principle of the curvature engine is to create high-energy and rapid ions through the reactor of matter and antimatter, and this reaction needs to be controlled by a dilithium crystal..."

…

When Li Mo came to the corridor, he found a graceful figure leaning there, smiled and walked up.

"Here's what you're asking for." Black Widow Natasha handed over a USB drive, "Don't you think about it again?" The captain has put you on the list. ”

"I'm sorry, I'll never get used to that kind of life." Li Mo shrugged.

"Okay, have a nice trip." Black Widow Natasha smiled and turned away.

When Li Mo came to the rooftop, a bunch of his subordinates were already waiting there.

"Little Lucas, think about it again, Barrett and George both have their own careers, don't you want to follow me?" Li Mo looked at his black clerk and said.

This kid has grown up a lot, revealing a calm temperament.

"Boss, I don't know anything, what are you doing with you?" Lucas Jr. shrugged, "I'll continue my internship with Matt, and I'll still be your clerk when you decide to come back and open the store one day." ”

"Okay, take care of yourself, if you need help, you can reach Tony." Li Mo sighed.

Then, under the watchful eyes of a crowd, Lemo took Skorch and Cora aboard the McQueen.

The spaceship slowly rose into the air, turning on its invisibility and quickly vanishing.

"Boss, where are we going next, Las Vegas?" Skolch said excitedly.

"Accompany me to run errands first, and then Korra and I will return to Asgard, and you and the Emir will stay on Earth to take care of the McQueen, and I will leave you some money, and then you will go and have a good time by yourself." Li Mo said with a cigarette in his mouth.

Skorch couldn't help but whistle, "Great, what are we going to do now?" ”

"Catch a small fish for bait." Li Mo smiled and took out the USB drive given by Black Widow.

……

In the Colombian jungle

Ulysses. Crowe turned off the TV and said to the drug lord leader next to him, "Don't worry about this, if they really make a spaceship, we will buy one too, and then expand the business to the entire universe!" ”

A group of people laughed.

Later, Ulysis Scraw led the drug lord to the back of a transport truck. Opened a case and looked at the drug lord, "The best anti-materiel weapon, you know, I don't usually come to a small business like this." ”

"I think I heard you're being hunted by some guys?" The leader of the drug lord said thoughtfully.

"They've been hunting me down for more than ten years, aren't I alive and well?" Ulysse Scrowe spread out her hands and smiled.

Suddenly, a vine stretched out from the void on one side of him, rolled up Ulysis Scraw, and quickly disappeared into the void.

β€œwhat f**k!” The drug lord was so frightened that he sat on the ground and moved backwards quickly.

On the McQueen, Skolch stared at Ulysse Skraw, who had been controlled by Li Mo with a psychic scepter, and asked strangely, "Boss, why are you arresting this guy?" ”

"He has some good things in his hands, and I'm going to use him to do business with local tyrants." Li Mo said triumphantly.

"What's the fun?" Skorch asked curiously.

Li Mo snorted: "Why are you asking so much?" ”

Skorch: "......"

"Anyway, it's a good thing, go, go to the next stop, go get my baby." Li Mo shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Boss, what treasure do you have?" Skolch's eyes lit up.

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know!" Li Mo snorted again.

Skorch: "......"

After 15 minutes,

In a mountain forest in Missouri,

Li Mo's miserable voice roared: "What about Lao Tzu's magic book? ”
