In a no-man's land far from the city, the surface is flat and wide, and the so-called mountains here are only a few small hills that are not steep, and a military jeep drives far away, carrying up billowing sand and dust along the way.

In this barren area, in the direction of the truck, there is a "bird's nest" embedded in the ground, as the visual distance closes, this "bird's nest" gets bigger and bigger, and finally presents a steel behemoth in front of you, the size of several football fields.

The steel "bird's nest" is actually a giant industrial building, digging a deep pit into the ground, and then building it layer by layer, a full dozen stories high, densely packed with skilled workers and engineers working in this giant bird's nest-like factory, and dozens of large tower cranes are distributed on the top of the "bird's nest" to carry materials.

Two men in engineer uniforms, one with sunglasses and one younger, got out of the back seat of the jeep.

The soldier in charge of the checkpoint walked up.

"Where are you from, gentlemen?"

"We are the undertaker, the staff of Martin."

"Okay, I need to check out your passes."

"Wait a minute!"

The man in the sunglasses handed the soldier the badges of himself and his companions.

The soldier scanned the information on the work card with a code scanner, checked it, and found out the electronic file information after a short time, and the two senior mechanical engineers who were exactly matched, confirmed their identities, and returned the work cards to the two.

"OK, no problem with the information, and just a reminder, no one is allowed to bring a mobile phone or personal computer into the work area, got it?"

"Of course not, we know the rules of work."

"Okay, then you can go in"

"Thank you!"

The two of them entered the giant factory, and then took the elevator to the upper floors of the "bird's nest", and visually measured a height of dozens of meters from the ground, from here, they could see the thing inside the giant industrial building.

An unfinished, extremely massive spacecraft, larger than any spacecraft ever built in human history, is large enough and powerful to carry thousands of people.

"Patton, is this really a weapon?"

"It's a big killer, they call it a space carrier," the man touched lightly on the frame of his glasses, and the pair of sunglasses began to take pictures of the spacecraft.

......

A day later, Quantum Inc.

"Where is this?"

Elizabeth finally woke up, she was lying in a strange place, and immediately reached out and touched her waist, and found that the wound had healed.

"Medical room, Quantum, this is New York", Crescent walked over, started the machine, and moved the equipment above it out of the way for Elizabeth to come out.

"You saved me?" , Elizabeth asked.

"Strictly speaking, you're healing faster, oh, by the way, you can call me Crescent, Ning Fei and Caitlyn they brought you back."

Elizabeth stood up and asked with a little wariness, "So, you all know what's going on there?" What are you going to do with me? ”

Crescent didn't quite understand Elizabeth's question, so she asked, "Deal with it?" Are you referring to the murder that happened the day before yesterday? ”

Elizabeth squinted and nodded.

"That powerful mutant has run away, she killed those people and then disappeared, as for how to deal with this, I'm sorry, we may not be able to help for the time being, because we are in a more troublesome situation now, if you need to contact the Union police, you can take the elevator downstairs, take a taxi, go to the nearest police station, remember not to tell them that you have been here, I have a more average relationship with them recently."

After hearing what Xinyue said, Elizabeth couldn't help but be stunned, it seemed that Ning Fei didn't know what kind of considerations she had done, and she didn't reveal what she had done, and her worry that she would be sent to the police station seemed unnecessary for the time being.

"But there's bad news, I don't know if you want to hear it," Crescent continued.

"Where?"

"It's the pharmaceutical company you run."

Elizabeth said in a dejected tone, as if she had expected the result, "It should be completely bankrupt by now......"

"That's right...... That's basically the bad situation", Xinyue nodded, because she was also a woman, and she couldn't help but feel a little compassionate, so she comforted: "It's not terrible to clear everything, it's a big deal to start all over again." ”

Elizabeth smiled bitterly: "According to the unlimited joint and several liability clause, I am afraid that I will personally have to bear a huge debt." ”

"Uh, that's really bad news within bad news."

After all, Elizabeth was the survivor of the catastrophe, and she quickly thought about it and began to look at the environment here.

"What kind of organization are you, are you affiliated with a government agency or the military?"

Xinyue shook her head, "It's not affiliated with anyone, in fact, we are an ordinary clean energy company, providing pollution-free electricity for cities and industries, and also conducting some scientific research projects, um~ If you don't have any good plans for the time being, you can stay here for now, and you won't be disturbed here." ”

"Ding~"

The elevator bell suddenly rings, and Caitlin comes looking for Crescent.

"Doctor, we have news of that space carrier, I'm afraid war is imminent."

Crescent Moon's expression instantly became serious.

"Well, it's finally here. What about the others? ”

"It's all in the conference room."

"Then let's go", Crescent Moon put away her research materials.

"Wait a minute," Elizabeth said suddenly, clearly confused by the topic they were talking about, "what are you talking about, space carrier?" War? ”

"It's nothing, we're talking about esports games, I have something to do first, if you need anything, you can tell Cooper, Cooper is my housekeeper, I'll go back and let him find you", Crescent squeezed out a smile.

With that, Crescent and Caitlyn hurried away.

"Don't you dare that she will leak secrets?"

"She can't protect herself, and I don't think anyone should believe what she says."

"She's a dangerous mutant."

"That's what I value."

“......”

The two women whispered eagerly all the way.

In the conference room, Ning Fei, Gibbon, Fengying, and Barton were all present.

Seeing Crescent Moon and Caitlyn coming, Barton projected the footage he had taken and stated it straight to the point.

"The cooperation between the Alliance and Hellfire has not been suspended, they have moved from the light to the shadows, this is a factory in the Great Plains of Texas, funded by the Union Congress and the Alliance military, with the aim of realizing the space early warning system as quickly as possible, it is reported that this project has mobilized more than a dozen scientific research institutions led by Albert, as well as more than 5,000 companies, and the construction of the first space carrier is unexpectedly fast."

"They have already obtained controlled nuclear fusion technology from Albert, and this project is going so well, not only because of the resources of the Alliance, but also because Hellfire can't wait for this project to happen as soon as possible, so no effort is spared," Crescent analyzed.

"Yes, we did find traces of Hellfire on site, and they didn't just provide the solution, they were deeply involved in its construction."

"Wait, put the video back a little bit, yes, that's it, pause, this design looks like a missile system."

Ning Fei watched the video carefully.

"Yes, more than on the conceptual model at the Rio conference, and here with a fighter group, an anti-missile system, this is an invulnerable weapon," said Crescent, the one who knew the most about the space carrier proposal.

"It's enough to easily destroy any army."

"I've got to stop it before it rises into the sky, or I'm not going to get it down so easily." ”

"I think we already know the coordinates of this plant and can blow it up with missiles," Yoshimoto suggested.

"No, there are too many people there", Blade Shadow pointed to the surrounding steel "bird's nest".

"At the end of the project, they need to conduct an ignition test on the mothership, and the engineers and technicians on it will be evacuated, and at this time there are the least number of people", it was Ning Fei who spoke, and he thought of this along Gibbon's train of thought.

"Do you have any plans?" , Barton asked Ning Fei.

Ning Fei glanced around the crowd and saw that everyone was expecting his opinion, so he spoke: "My idea is this, we can divide into three squads, when the mothership is conducting an ignition test, the first team is responsible for dispersing the remaining personnel inside, the second team needs to turn off all the engines and defense systems of the entire mothership in time, and the third team is finally responsible for blowing up the mothership, during this period, the Alliance Army and the people of Hellfire will definitely stop us from doing this, but they will not use heavy weapons there, So we just have to hold them back and do all this in the shortest possible time, and we can succeed, which is the least loss-making solution......"

"Great idea! That's great! Gibbon gave a thumbs up.

"What if they build a second one? A complete space warning system requires 12 motherships", Caitlyn asked.

"It's not that easy, it's an extremely resource-intensive project, no less than the Apollo moon landing program of the last century, the first mothership should benefit from sufficient advance preparation, used to prove to people that this plan is achievable, so as to get the full support of the whole world, so the construction of the second mothership will probably take a long enough time span, as long as we destroy this mothership, the space early warning system program will suffer a heavy blow, so as to announce the hellfire conspiracy, we can completely prevent all this crisis", Barton was sure

"So what do we need to do now?" , Yoshimoto asked eagerly

Ning Fei glanced at Crescent Moon, followed by Catelyn, Blade, and Barton, and everyone showed tacit understanding.

"We need to upgrade our equipment and then fight a tough battle."
