Luke, who is staying in Washington, D.C., is not aware of the news of a new member of the Hellfire Club, the alliance between Atlantis and mutants.

Although he had already started searching for Sebastian Shaw's whereabouts, it was difficult to pinpoint the location of a mutant without Professor Charles and a brainwave amplification device.

And artificial satellites will have to wait for the two superpowers to start an arms race before they will be launched into the sky one after another.

What insight plan, global surveillance, in this era, even science fiction would not dare to write like that.

As for engagement with Atlanti, it's even more impractical.

It will be almost nine years before the launch of the first nuclear submarine "Nautilus".

At present, the maximum depth that humans can dive to is no more than a kilometer.

For an undersea civilization, this belongs to a level that has not even been touched by the gate.

"So, technology changes lives."

Luke sighed silently.

The development of science and technology in this era is indeed a bit backward compared to the future of steel armor and space carriers flying everywhere.

So he specifically told Howard that he could temporarily put aside the research work of the Cosmic Cube and shift his focus to the nuclear fusion reactor.

Tinker with nuclear submarines, and then consider launching satellites - Skynet is doing communications anyway.

In the future, if the Kree fleet invades on a large scale and destroys its own satellites, Ronan will directly let the accuser Ronan see what Superman's iron fist is.

Luke's gaze has always been far-reaching, and he even wonders if Howard will shrink the Ark reactor.

In the future timeline, Tony Stark's sentence "I am Iron Man" officially opened the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Rather than wait until then, Luke felt that it would be a good idea to let Howard do it.

It's all a family anyway.

As for the problem of technical bottlenecks, I believe that it will be easy to solve the problem by going to Wakanda for a walk and then establishing diplomatic relations with Atlantis for friendly exchanges and mutual assistance.

These two countries, together with the Fantastic Four's old rival, Dr. Doom's hometown of Latvia, can be called the place with the most black technology on the planet.

Not to mention nuclear fusion technology, any time and space shuttle, the Iron Army, and space spacecraft can be organized.

"General, that's Lake Akaria."

Stryker, who was with him, said loudly.

The whistling of the helicopter, combined with the strong air currents, forced him to do so.

"What a nice place."

Luke looks down from mid-air, a concrete dam that stands tall in the middle of a snow-capped forest.

"It used to be an industrial area, but it was abandoned during the Great Depression. Later, it was favored by the military and purchased in the name of building a dam. ”

Stryker explained hoarsely.

In fact, Luke would like to say that he doesn't have to yell so loudly, he can hear it.

Superman hasn't had his ears back to this extent.

"Later, when the world war began, the Ministry of Defense, fearing that the Third Reich would attack its homeland, began to build strong and reliable military bases throughout the country, and Lake Akaya was one of them."

Stryker pointed to the concrete dam and said, "There are war materials stored deep in the dam, but unfortunately they don't come in handy. Now that the war is over, the bases have lost their original role and are being assigned to Pentagon generals. ”

"Of course, only you, the general, have such a face and are qualified to use a military base sufficient to withstand missile bombardment as an experimental site."

Speaking of the back, Stryker also deliberately touted it.

This thick-eyed and big-eyed person has now learned to slap his beard.

"It's just that the generals are giving face."

Luke said modestly,

Now who in the Pentagon doesn't know that the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who has not been in office for a long time, is very good at reaching out to Congress to ask for funds.

What is the "Rebirth Program" to train super soldiers, the "X Weapon" program to study mutants, and the "Exploration Program" to tinker with spacecraft...... One after the other, they were all about to drain the members of the budget committee.

The most infuriating thing is that in the face of Luke's excessive demands, they can't refuse.

Because, as they sound, those plans seem promising, and they are worth the investment.

Howard, who learned the news, also made fun of Luke, saying that if he went to mix Wall Street, he would definitely be able to deceive countless investors.

To this, Mr. Major General smiled and said nothing.

This skill is all learned from an entrepreneur who returns to China next week, first draw a big pie, then hype up the concept, and find a few well-known scientists to stand on the platform.

The politicians in the White House and Congress naturally obediently paid for it.

Fleece the wool of capitalism, Luke said there is no psychological pressure.

"William, who do you think is the most worthy of training in Task Force X?"

The helicopter slowly descended, and Luke stepped on the soft snow, exhaling a white breath.

He was thinly dressed, but he didn't feel cold.

Stryker, who was tightly wrapped, rubbed his hands and looked enviously at the major general who was walking in front, is this Superman's physique?

"Logan, of course!"

Stryker said the answer without thinking.

Also mutant, the young officer seems to have a soft spot for Wolverine.

Every time I saw those bone claws, my eyes showed a hint of longing.

So much so that when the mutant brothers communicated in private, the saber-toothed tiger said that the dwarf scientist Bolívar was a pervert who always stared at him with strange eyes.

Wolverine, on the other hand, thinks that the guy named Stryker is even more disgusting.

After the two brothers looked at each other, they all felt a chill down their spines.

I can't live this day!

"Logan. Do you fancy his self-healing factor? ”

Luke is not surprised at all, Stryker and Wolverine have a fateful fate.

"Yes. I think I can make Logan an an invincible killing machine! The saber-toothed tiger is too irritable, and his emotions will affect his judgment, but Logan is different, his claws, as well as the wildness in his eyes, and the stubbornness in his bones, are simply born to fight! ”

Stryker is excited, and he follows Bolívar in his research, learning more about mutants.

As a soldier, almost subconsciously, the young officer considered applying the X gene to weapons.

"General, the Pentagon's attitude towards mutants is actually far less ...... than you Mild. ”

Stryker walked with Luke on the snow and asked puzzledly, "Using mutants as weapons for research can yield more results in less time." But you don't seem to want to do that. ”

After these days of understanding, Stryker figured out part of Mr. Major General's temperament.

In most cases, the other party is very talkative, and never sees the appearance of anger or anger.

Strangely, this does not affect the respect and adoration that others have for Luke.

Stryker blames this on charisma.

"The Führer of the Third Reich thought the same way, that's why they used Jews and Poles to test poison gas and conduct human experiments."

Luke pushes open the heavy steel gate and enters the flood control channel.

Deep in this concrete dam, there's something else.

All kinds of war materials, ventilation equipment, weapons and ammunition are readily available.

It's like preparing for the launch of a nuclear bomb and the coming of the apocalypse.

"It's easy to plant a seed of hatred, but it's hard to get two races to live in harmony."

Luke's voice echoed through the empty base of the dam.

"I want to be a bridge, not a butcher."
