Chapter 37: Which is the best in freezing technology?
Ethan was thinking about digging into the corner of the Decepticons, and didn't notice Michaela's excited eyes.
Of course she would be excited, although Ethan is an 'alien' and not a true omnipotent god, but in the eyes of ordinary people, Ethan's abilities are no different from those of a god.
Working for this kind of existence is likely to reap benefits that you could never have dreamed of.
Michaela has a renewed vision and anticipation for her future, and the future of clinging to a dilapidated storefront, repairing cars day after day, year after year, is fading away.
She wanted to know what kind of reward Ethan would give her, but she was a little embarrassed to ask, after all, she hadn't really 'joined' yet.
The car became quiet, but the awkward atmosphere didn't last long, as they soon arrived at the Hoover Dam.
The Hoover Dam is usually used as a tourist attraction for tourists, but not today, the military has sealed off all the areas around the dam in advance to ensure that information such as aliens that may cause panic and confusion among ordinary people will not leak out.
Ethan had no problem with this, and after arriving at the dam, he met with Defense Secretary John Keller again.
In addition to this, there is Senator Kevin Smith, who is completely unimpressed by Senator Ethan and should not appear in the film.
However, in view of the current situation, it is not possible to put all the tasks of such diplomatic negotiations on the Minister of Defense alone, and it is more appropriate to send a member of Congress as a representative to make some contacts.
"Nice to meet you. ”
Mr. Kevin Smith looks like he's in his fifties, dressed in a modest suit, with his slightly gray hair meticulously arranged, and maintains that kind smile at all times.
For this kind of pure politician, Ethan can't talk about liking, as long as the other party doesn't trouble him, he can't talk about hating, after greeting each other, Ethan directly cut to the chase.
"You're going to transfer Megatron, what are you going to do?"
"Beginning two hours ago, NBE-1 was blast-frozen, and then loaded into a special vehicle, where it was continuously frozen to keep it asleep. ”
The answer was not the Secretary of Defense, but an agent of the Seventh District, who looked much more serious than Simmons, wearing the same suit and a hairstyle that didn't mess up at all.
"It is expected that in another two hours, we will be able to freeze NBE-1 to a relatively safe point, and then we will have four hours to carry out the transfer work. ”
There wasn't much time, and there was no way to move too far, and even if he kept using cryogenic equipment to keep Megatron in a cold state during the process, there was no way to guarantee that he would always be asleep.
"The ambush site can only be selected in the nearby desert area. ”
Fortunately, there is no shortage of desolate open spaces nearby, the only problem is that no one can guarantee that Megatron will not suddenly wake up during transportation, and once Megatron wakes up, the plan will completely fail.
John Keller doesn't have a good way to do this, which is limited by the current technological limitations of human beings.
But that's not much of a problem for Ethan.
"You can arrange an ambush plan, and you don't have to worry about Megatron waking up early. ”
"Do you have a way?"
That's what John Keller has a headache for, and if Megatron suddenly jumps up and starts a fight before he even enters the ambush circle, then all the previous arrangements are useless.
"It's not that hard to freeze Megatron. ”
Following all the way into the secret facility inside the dam, in addition to helping to freeze Megatron, he can also look at the source of the fire, and maybe have the opportunity to get close to the source of the fire.
John Keller, as a client who has personally experienced Ethan's 'powerful', has a lot of confidence in Ethan, and as for Kevin Smith and the other Seventh District agent, they don't know much about Ethan.
As a Sector 7 agent who knows NBE-1 better, he is still a little disgusted by Ethan's attitude of not taking NBE-1 seriously.
This is also human nature, a person spends almost a lifetime of time and energy researching and pondering something, and suddenly jumps out and personally treats this thing as garbage, indicating that all kinds of things are not looked down upon, and normal people will rise to disgust.
It's just that some of them are just bragging about it, and some of them really think it's rubbish.
What kind of Ethan was it?
"This is Megatron?"
The Autobots followed Ethan and slowly drove into this secret base, which had a large enough empty exit to facilitate the transportation of various large equipment, and even heavy trucks like Optimus Prime could easily drive in and out.
Inside the base, the expansive interior space allows Optimus Prime to move freely in a humanoid form without worrying about bumps and bumps.
The appearance of the Autobots attracted the attention of all the staff here, and Kevin Smith, who was next to John Keller, was still the first time to see the scene of the Autobots' transformation, just now he was just a little surprised by a few cars that were not driven by people, although he knew that these cars were also aliens, but he didn't have a very intuitive feeling.
The contact with Ethan also had no special feelings, because Ethan's appearance was the same as that of a human, and if he hadn't listened to John Keller's report, he wouldn't have been able to connect the young man in front of him to the extraterrestrial life in the report.
It was only at this time that he truly realized that he was coming into contact with alien life forms that were different from humans.
"Megatron. ”
Optimus Prime looked at Megatron, who was frozen in front of him, and didn't know what to do.
After all, this is the culprit that caused Cybertron to fall into a civil war and eventually collapse, and he has every reason to make up for it while Megatron is unable to act.
Just looking at Megatron's current appearance, Optimus Prime suddenly had a strange feeling that maybe one day he would become like this old rival?
Optimus Prime didn't speak, but his Autobots didn't think that much, and Ironhide and Jazz wanted to rush up and kill Megatron directly.
"Don't worry, even if you want to kill Megatron, it's not now. ”
Ethan looked at the situation and saw that there was already a special container on the side, obviously prepared for Megatron, and it seemed that it was going to be shipped with this thing.
As for the front of the car, Ethan felt that it would be more appropriate to let Optimus Prime check it out, because if something happened, Optimus Prime could react nearby.
The Minister of Defense also agreed with this arrangement, and standing in front of the frozen Megatron, the Earthlings, the Autobots, and Ethan reached a consensus: the three parties formed a temporary alliance to jointly deal with the Decepticons.
With that in mind, the discussion on other issues will continue.
For example, the ownership of the spark source, it is impossible to negotiate the result at present, but we can test the bottom line of each other.
What is the identity of Ethan and the Autobots on Earth?
This time, with Ethan's reminder, Optimus Prime did not emphasize his identity as a 'Cybertron refugee', focusing on the identity of the leader of the Bo faction.
It's just that Cybertron is not in a good situation because of the war, so Optimus Prime, as the leader, travels through the universe to find a way to save his homeland.
Even if the actual situation is similar, it is not the same thing at all to outsiders.
More importantly, Ethan vaguely reminded the Secretary of Defense and the senator: There are many Transformers in the universe, don't think that it will be okay to kill these few humans, if you kill the leaders of the mad faction and the Bo faction in one go, then it is not impossible for the remaining Transformers to completely unite and destroy the earth first.
Human beings may have a short lifespan, but they are good at summarizing and learning, and thousands of years of history can be regarded as a history of war records, as long as it is related to war, human beings react faster than anyone else, and immediately realize that this kind of behavior is likely to be retaliated against by human beings at present, and before there is no means to ensure the safety of the earth, it is the most feasible way to win over one faction and fight another.
Senator Kevin Smith didn't say much during the whole process, just quietly observed and listened, until the humans and Autobots basically decided on some basic cooperation plans, and then asked Ethan curiously.
"Your Excellency doesn't seem to be asking for anything?"
In the eyes of the shrewd senator, Ethan didn't ask for it either because he didn't feel strong enough to cause displeasure in humanity, or because he was too strong to care about the small benefit.
He must determine what kind of situation it is, which will directly determine what kind of attitude the human government should take towards this 'interstellar friend'.
Ethan really didn't pay much attention to his own situation in the communication just now, because he didn't care about these messy little benefits at all, and he didn't worry about being underestimated.
"I think we can do more collaboration, and we should get to know each other a little bit better before we work together. ”
Ethan motioned for all the busy staff around Megatron to evacuate, he didn't want a spell to freeze a bunch of unlucky people together.
"What kind of cooperation?"
"You know, I travel a lot around the universe, but there aren't that many planets that are good for replenishment. ”
Senator Smith understood what Ethan meant, and it seemed that the other party wanted to make a long-term trade with the Earth government, which was a good proposition, but only if the other party had something they were interested in.
What's more, if the other party has something or technology that interests them, but they don't have the strength to protect them, then the deal may become a one-sided plunder.
It's a pity that Ethan raised his hand and made him give up the idea behind it, and with the evacuation of the staff, Ethan can let go of his spells.
Megatron is not small, but it is nothing to Ethan today, waving his hand and taking out an arcane spring, with the bright magic brilliance, the tall Megatron has a thick layer of ice on his body, and he is directly turned into a huge ice sculpture by Ethan.
