Chapter 35: Superiority
In reality, Ethan does not know what the combat strength and real efficiency of the US military are. He was an ordinary person in his previous life, and it was impossible for him to know these details.
But in this world, the combat capability and execution of the US military are very strong.
In the previous life, the film itself carried the meaning of the US military propaganda film and recruitment advertisement, and after reflecting the world, the combat effectiveness of the US military is very strong, and if the Transformers are not invaded by the formation, there are only two or three kittens, which is not enough for these GIs to play.
At the same time, the Ministry of Defense is also very efficient, there is no endless political bickering, they have realized the great threat of the fanatics, and in any case, they must solve this problem first: not to mention that the fanatics have launched several attacks on the US military, and they should also do some counterattack.
Megatron is an excellent decoy, they have even made a detailed plan, how to accidentally 'leak' Megatron's information, and then attract the mad Transformers to a suitable ambush circle for annihilation operations, what level of military strength should be mobilized, and what kind of weapons and equipment should be used.
In just half a night, the battle plan had already taken shape, and the president instructed the secretary of defense to entertain Bo Pai and Ethan's 'interstellar friends' – even if it wasn't John Keller's job.
Regardless of whether Ethan and they really came with friendliness or not, now that they have decided to go to war with the mad Transformers, they can't add more enemies to themselves, which is the most basic common sense.
What's more, Ethan's ability can easily cause even more trouble, and if it is not handled properly, causing this 'god' to run out and bewitch ordinary people, it will be a big trouble.
According to the description of the Secretary of Defense and the countless soldiers present, Ethan's image and ability at that time caused a lot more sensation in the whole world than the sudden appearance of a few aliens.
No one is stupid to be president, he has gathered his staff overnight to discuss in detail how to negotiate with this suspected god alien lifeform: capture or direct killing is of course included in these plans, if they feel that Ethan's combat ability is not strong, then even if it will cost some price, these people will choose to hunt Ethan.
Ethan could guess what these people thought, and he expected it when he declared himself a god.
Since he dared to do this, he naturally didn't worry about this threat, because he had enough strength as a confidence, if those people really wanted to be tough on him, then he would definitely not be the one who was unlucky in the end.
Of course, it's better not to go to war than not, Ethan wants to develop the world of Transformers into a logistics world, rather than unleash a few spells to blast it into ruins.
In order to prevent these guys from doing something uncool, Ethan asked Simmons in detail about the U.S. military's battle plan against the Decepticons.
"I don't know the details, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to tell you. ”
"Actually, we just want to help. ”
If he could, Ethan wanted to turn the ambush of the Decepticons into a show of his strength, and as long as he showed enough strength, then even if the president was brainless and wanted to do something to him, the others would do their best to stop it.
Simmons didn't want to reveal that it didn't matter, he could wait until tomorrow to meet with the Secretary of Defense, and then offer to help as an 'interstellar friend', not to mention that with Optimus Prime on his side, this battle involved the internal struggle of Cybertron, and no matter what, he couldn't get around them.
So it's not difficult to get involved, and with arrangements for the things that follow, everyone, including Optimus Prime, finally has a direction and can rest at ease.
"Speaking of rest, do life forms like you need to rest?"
"We can move or fight for a long time, but we still need to rest. ”
Tony was studying the special features of Transformers again, and Sam and Michaela, who were supposed to rest, couldn't sleep at all at this time.
What happened today is so exciting that normal people can't fall asleep easily.
In addition, Sam and Michaela are still teenagers, and they are at an energetic age, and not sleeping doesn't affect anything.
After getting along for a while, Sam also found that Ethan and Optimus Prime are almost the same, they are both very good people to get along with, and their already chatty personalities are a little unbearable, and all kinds of questions are asked one after another, and Ethan and Tony are both big heads.
"Are you really a god?"
"If you find it unacceptable, you can treat me as a higher level of life than the earthlings. ”
"Higher?
"Taller and stronger!"
Michaela on the side couldn't help laughing when she heard Ethan's answer, which was really easy to misunderstand for mocking Sam's thin figure.
"Don't think too much about it, the evolutionary trend of life is to optimize in all aspects, taller, stronger, more handsome and have a longer lifespan. ”
After understanding what Ethan meant, Sam realized that the other party was not mocking him, and his embarrassed face returned to normal, while he was curious about another question: "How long is it to live longer?"
It wasn't just him who was curious about the question, but everyone in the room, including the Autobots, and Simmons held his breath for fear of missing or mishearing a word.
"I don't know how long I can live, but in terms of my current physical condition, it is conservatively estimated to be 5,000 to 10,000 years!"
He once estimated that his lifespan could exceed a thousand years, but later, with the improvement of his strength, and the fact that Thor and Diana could be used as a reference, he found that his previous estimate was too conservative.
With his current strength, even if his strength does not improve, it is not difficult to live past five thousand years old.
"How much?"
Ethan's number frightened Sam, and Michaela on the side looked at Ethan in front of him with dull eyes and a slightly open mouth.
Simmons, who was not far away, was too focused on 'eavesdropping', which resulted in an unstable center of gravity, and when he heard the numbers Ethan said, he was excited and fell directly to the ground.
Tony, who had been sitting next to the ambulance, suddenly stopped talking to the ambulance before Sam could ask the question, and then sat there quietly as a beautiful man, until everyone was startled by Ethan's answer, and he laughed out loud as if he had watched a good show.
I just like to see you unseen turtles scared!
In particular, he has also been strengthened, and his lifespan has already broken through the limits of human beings, and even with the improvement of his magic strength, his life level is also approaching the demigod level.
The current Tony is far less than Ethan and Thor can live for so many years, but even if he maintains the status quo, he can live for hundreds of years.
Standing in such a position and looking down, even a person with a good mentality will inevitably rise to a sense of superiority, not to mention that Tony is a person with a sense of superiority.
"Ten thousand years?"
Sam wiped away the sweat that didn't exist, and he now really understood what a higher life form was.
It may not be intuitive to talk to him about being taller, stronger and more handsome, after all, there are many people in ordinary human beings who are taller, stronger than him, and much more handsome than him, and he doesn't feel how advanced those people are.
But when it comes to lifespan, it's very intuitive.
At present, when the average life expectancy has increased substantially, the average life expectancy of human beings has not exceeded 100 years, and only a few people have been able to cross this threshold.
But in the end, this is not even a fraction for others, and this feeling is really not good.
"So you're ...... by now Hundreds, or thousands?"
Ethan shook his head, counting all the time he had traveled through the world, he was in his thirties at most now, but he didn't want to tell the truth here.
"I'm still young. ”
It's really young, but it's just that what it means, let them figure it out for themselves.
Simmons had already gotten up, and he felt that he had more to report: an immortal with magical powers and could live for thousands of years, and although he didn't want to admit it, he suddenly felt that the other party did have the qualifications to be called a god.
At this time, Michaela suddenly looked at the Autobots not far away, and after learning that Ethan could live for so long, she was curious about how long these aliens who were completely different from humans could live?
"Depending on the situation of each Transformer, the lifespan also varies, and some powerful Transformers have a near-eternal lifespan. ”
Powerful Transformers almost never die naturally, and even ordinary Transformers have a long lifespan, and it is not difficult to live for hundreds of years.
Simmons didn't know what to say, and Sam realized the huge difference between himself and the aliens in front of him, and his life might just be a moment in the other person's life, which was really not a good feeling.
Michaela was originally full of curiosity about Ethan and had a lot of things to ask, but now she couldn't ask any more, not to mention the atmosphere around her, so she swallowed more questions back into her stomach.
The storeroom suddenly became silent, the Autobots turned into various vehicles to rest quietly, and Tony got into the driver's seat of the ambulance, and continued to discuss various academic issues with the 'experts' in the Transformers.
Ethan didn't know what to do, so he could only find a random place to sit in a daze.
Time passed slowly, and the sky outside began to grow brighter, and when the sun came up, everyone would set off directly for the Hoover Dam.
Simmons has previously said that Secretary of Defense John Keller will go straight to the Hoover Dam, where he will wait for Ethan and the Autobots, and will not come to this base to join them.
When he set off, Ethan chose the nearest car made of iron and sat in, and Michaela actually sat in this car.
