Chapter 241: Space Cosmic Storm
Pouting, Johnny gave up on any more conversations with Reed.
This kind of boring guy who is full of thoughts about work, no wonder his sister broke up with him.
Shaking his head, he quickly turned to the giant monsters of Chinatown recently.
“…… I suspect that it was a biological weapon secretly developed by the government, but it accidentally got out of control later, so I had to send members of the Avengers to help, I have a buddy who took pictures of the time, can you imagine a big monster of this height, appearing in Chinatown out of thin air, there must be a conspiracy here......"
"If you have the heart to pay attention to these news chasing after the wind, you might as well concentrate on the next space mission."
Ben frowned, looked at Johnny who looked like he was vibrant, and said patiently.
"This time our task was not an easy one."
"I know." Johnny shrugged his shoulders at Kamimoto's eyes, and raised his eyebrows in a still self-styled manner, "In order to cooperate with this mission, I haven't dated for more than a week." ”
"Whew~"
Johnny's appearance instantly detonated Ben's long-suppressed anger.
Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, Susan, who was on the side, hurriedly spoke, easing the atmosphere.
"Johnny, you go and get ready."
"Okay." After making eye contact with Susan, Johnny shrugged his shoulders and shook his head away.
Susan looked at his turned back, and then said to Ben on the side, "I'm sorry, Ben, you know, Johnny has been this stupid since he was a child. However, his nature is not bad, but he does things his own way. ”
"I know."
Because of Susan's persuasion, the emotions that had originally erupted gradually eased, he took a deep breath to suppress the depression in his heart, and replied with a wry smile: "It's me who is too impulsive." "As Reed's friend, I didn't want to affect Reed's research because of myself, anyway, it was just a mission.
Ben secretly made up his mind to endure this mission for the sake of his friend Reed, and then, whoever likes to do the task with him will do it, anyway, he won't come back a second time.
……
In the vastness of the universe, a spacecraft breaks through the atmosphere and joins the space station in the middle of the universe.
This space station is Victor von Doom's personal space station, which is dedicated to studying the changes of the stars in the universe, which is one of the reasons why Reed came to the other party.
With government budget cuts, he can't rely on the other side's space station if he wants to see the changes in the space storm up close.
"There are nine hours left until the space cosmic storm is generated."
Inside the space station, Reed's emotions are a little excited, and soon he will have access to the cosmic storm of his dreams.
"Honestly, what's so nice about this kind of thing."
Turning his head and looking at the vast universe outside the space station, Johnny said absent-mindedly.
Compared to this kind of space mission, he prefers the babes on Earth.
"The storm contains a lot of data, through the study of the cosmic storm, to crack the secret of genetics, the birth, growth, decay, disease, old age, death and other life phenomena of organisms are related to genes, as long as the information can be cracked, human beings will enter a new era, a no longer disease, a world that belongs to the new genetic humans."
"Amazing idea."
Facing the impassioned Reed, Johnny shrugged his shoulders and said with cold water: "The premise is that your theory is correct." ”
To be honest, Johnny didn't think Reed's experiment would succeed.
"My theory is absolutely correct."
To this, Reed answered categorically.
……
Here, a space storm is coming.
On the other side, in the lower level of the spaceship, in the box that no one noticed, a wisp of yellow sand flowed out of it, gradually forming an earthy yellow human shape.
"So, this is going to outer space?"
Opening his yellow eyes formed by the sand and looking at the surrounding environment, Li Ran, no, the expression of the sand clone was a little abrupt.
As a businessman, it was impossible for Victor von Doom to conduct space experiments in obscurity.
In fact, from the moment he decided to invest in Reed, New York's major newspapers had already hyped up the space mission.
As long as Reid can make any breakthrough in the space storm, then Victor von Doom will gain a lot of prestige and most importantly money. A researcher like Reed, who is full of experiments, has no idea how much wealth lies behind the research he conducts.
Controlling the sand clone as he walked around the spaceship.
As a human being, being able to walk in outer space is undoubtedly an exciting thing.
However, all this is less important than the upcoming plan.
……
"Man, a sincere piece of advice for you, is to tell your buddy to stop trying to get back together with my sister."
In the hatch of the space station, Johnny speaks while wearing a spacesuit for Ben, who is about to go on a mission to outer space.
"Of course not, it's all just for work."
Although Ben also vaguely sensed that Reed still had some lingering feelings for Susan, but, from the perspective of a friend, he naturally couldn't just admit it, and replied with a face not to be outdone.
"Look at the way that guy looks at my sister, I don't want it to be what you say, only work."
Thinking of Reed's disillusioned appearance in front of Susan before, even Ben didn't hide it anymore, so he could only helplessly justify: "The last breakup, neither of them was as free and easy as it seemed, maybe Susan still has feelings for Reed." ”
"Let me give you a brief analysis, man." Handing Ben the prepared plant sample, Johnny nodded and replied, "On one side is the billionaire and the best boyfriend of the year, Victor von Doom, and on the other side is Reed, the stupidest smart man in the world, worth less than a postage stamp, this is really a difficult choice to decide." ”
"Feelings are not just about identity."
"So, tell me man, if you were my sister, which side would you choose?"
“……”
After a pause, Ben changed the subject a little stiffly.
"We didn't come to outer space to discuss these things, open the hatch, I'm going to do a mission."
"Listen to your buddy."
Shrugging his shoulders, Johnny immediately turned his attention back to the work at hand, which was a little unobtrusive, but still somewhat work-conscious.
At the push of a button, the hatch in front of Ben quickly fell, isolating him from the outside.
……
Walking inside the space station, Reed and the others, who were concentrating on space missions, didn't know at all.
Inside the space station, there is an uninvited guest that no one expected.
In the antique shop, Li Ran concentrated on controlling the doppelganger and shuttling through the space station.
Because of the distance, he could clearly feel that the chakra connection between himself and the clone had become quite weak.
Even, if you are not careful, the doppelganger on the space station will collapse.
Sure enough, relying on the power of the sand clone alone, it was still a little too difficult.
Shaking his head, he gave up his plan to use the sand clone again, and with Li Ran's thought switching, the [B-grade card - Kaz] was launched.
As the power of the ultimate creature emerged, the clone that was originally condensed by the yellow sand quickly changed into a tall, long-haired man.
Twisting his neck, [Kaz] turned his head to see the environment outside the space station through the vision comparable to that of an astronomical telescope, and a cold smile appeared on his handsome and non-human-like face: "The universe, it's really a nasty place." ”
……
"Didi, Didi, Warning, Warning......"
"There are still 9 minutes and 34 seconds to go until the tipping point of the space cosmic storm."
In the experimental control room of the space station, Reed was pulled back to his thoughts by the constant warnings, and he looked at the time told by the computer, and his originally indifferent expression suddenly became flustered.
"How is that possible! Why is there such a serious deviation in the timing of the cosmic storm! ”
Faced with the time told by the computer, Reed muttered, "Shouldn't there be seven hours of preparation time?" ”
The speed of the cosmic storm came earlier than Reed's calculation, and the expression on Reed's face became hesitant as he watched the decreasing time, but he quickly regained his firmness.
"The speed of the cosmic storm has increased!"
Arriving at the central control room, Reed said to Susan and Victor who were there, "At the current rate, we will encounter a cosmic storm in a few minutes, instead of the expected hours. Victor, we must end this mission, a cosmic storm head-on is enough to kill us. ”
Although Reed's heart, more than anyone else, hopes that this outer space program will succeed, he still has to make the decision to give up in the face of the impending crisis in front of him.
"Calm down, Reed."
Glancing at Susan, Victor obviously did not agree with Reed's decision to terminate the mission, for this space mission, he invested a lot of money and made publicity, if he ended the experiment like this, you can imagine how much damage his career will suffer.
"We can't just give up because of such a small situation, just close the shield."
Shield, an alien technology that Victor von Doom acquired from the government through various connections, paid a huge cost for it, but also made this outer space mission safer. After all, he came to outer space to gain fame and earn capital, not to die.
"However, Ben is still out on a mission."
"Then call him back."
Although Reed is the mastermind of this flight experiment, Victor is the actual leader of the space station, and in the face of Victor's categorical reply, Reed has to give up the idea of convincing the other party to terminate the mission, and then begins to save his friend, Ben.
"Victor, Reed is right, we only have six minutes left."
Susan's fingers flicked on the keyboard, and it quickly confirmed that Reed's results were not wrong.
"What are you doing, Victor!"
Looking up, looking at the cosmic storm that was getting closer and closer, the originally indifferent expression on Victor's face began to change, he silently pushed away Susan on the side of the computer, and pressed the start button of the shield without the slightest hesitation.
"Reed, they're still outside, you're going to kill them if you do that."
"But the shield will at least save us."
"No, just to save you."
Susan looked at her boyfriend, who seemed to have become a person in front of her, gritted her teeth and turned around and ran towards the central control room.
She couldn't watch the others being shut out of the shield, not just Reed, but her brother Johnny.
"Even if you go out, you can't do anything!"
"But, at least I tried."
Looking at Susan's back as she turned to leave, the expression on Victor's face struggled for a moment, but in the end he chose to stay in the control room.
In the control room, the protective shield is activated, and the dark blue energy shield wraps the entire central control room.
In the next second, a red space cosmic storm swept across the entire space station.
The furious cosmic rays instantly swept through the bodies of everyone in the spaceship, including Victor in the central control room.
Bang –
……
"Victor, I want to congratulate you."
In the conference room, the shareholder raised the documents in his hand, looked at Victor opposite, and said coldly: "The bank wants to congratulate you, the sharpest decline since the Great Depression, the loss has been comparable to the previous decline when Stark Industries closed the military industrial sector, now, even if you give me your shares, I will not ask for it, unless you are the next Tony Stark, but obviously, you are not ......"
"You have to save it all, Victor von Doom, or we'll have to remove you."
In the face of the aggressive attitude of the shareholders on the board of directors, Victor's expression was not very good.
Although he and Reed's team managed to return from outer space, they were lucky not to die because of the space storm.
However, the accident at the space station also caused a huge loss to Victor's hard-earned reputation. Now, Reed and his party are still lying in the hospital because of the space storm, and although he is not affected under the protection of the protective shield, he has also suffered a huge blow in his early career.
"But I'm not without gains."
After a moment of silence, Victor spoke with difficulty and retorted to the rest of the boardroom.
"You mean the meteorite?"
A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and one of the board shareholders who did not deal with Victor said with a cold face: "Victor, do you really think that relying on a meteorite that can be found everywhere in space can recover the losses you have brought to the company?" ”
"A week, I'll give you another week, and if you can't come up with any more rescue plans, then don't blame me for not being merciful, Victor."
With that, the members of the board of directors left the conference room one by one.
Victor was left alone, silent.
Zizi~
The corners of Victor's mouth twitched, and the next moment, the lights in the conference room suddenly flickered.
