Chapter 38: Avid Fans
Ethan drained the energy stored in the Arcane Fountain to ensure that Megatron's ice was thick and strong enough that it would never suddenly wake up in a sub-zero environment - even in an above-zero environment, it would not have been possible in a few hours if it weren't for the extreme weather that wanted to melt the magical energy.
The question that gave John Keller a huge headache was as simple as that for Ethan, which made Senator Kevin Smith have a more intuitive understanding of Ethan - this is a bit scary, right?
He is not the kind of politician who only focuses on political struggles and does not understand anything, he will be sent as a representative of Congress and the president, because he has a high level of insight and literacy, and he can instantly analyze what Ethan just said, if it is released to people or cities......
Such a low temperature is simply unbearable for the human body, which means that under Ethan's casual move, no matter how many troops are dispatched, they will deliver food - not only soldiers, but in this extremely low temperature environment, all the current weapons and equipment will become furnishings.
In other words, Ethan can completely wipe out a well-equipped elite army with a wave of his hand, and this is obviously not the limit of the other party.
The temperature in the secret base was very low, because of Ethan's hand, the temperature was even lower than usual, but Kevin Smith had sweat on his forehead, and he should now be glad that Congress and the president did not choose a radical plan of action when they received the report.
In fact, it was not only Councilor Smith who was scared, everyone present was frightened, including a group of special operations team members who had just been transferred, that is, the survivors of the US military base that was attacked by the fanatics at the beginning, they had experience fighting Transformers, so they were transferred this time.
"What the hell is wrong with this world? Alien robots followed by magicians? This is certainly not the world I'm familiar with. ”
When Ethan unleashed the spell, the mysterious symbols and magic circles around him would at first glance remind people that this thing was a magician, and no one thought about superpowers.
What's more, this time he also deliberately took out his staff to cast spells, except for the dress on his body that seemed a little inconsistent, he was an authentic magician.
Before coming, they had watched the most basic report, and knew that Sam and Michaela were just ordinary earthlings, and they didn't know how to get involved with this group of aliens, so they didn't need to pay too much attention.
It's a different ......
"What do you think I'm doing?"
Suddenly noticed by a group of soldiers, Tony couldn't continue to hide quietly in the corner, in fact, he had been secretly scanning various devices here, and the data finally obtained made him pout, the technology content of this world is too ordinary, and there is no technology here that makes him shine except for Megatron itself.
As for the source of the fire that Ethan mentioned earlier, he had already scanned the high-energy energy reaction, but he was not in a hurry to get over, but at this time, a group of soldiers suddenly focused their attention on him.
Tony...... Stark?"
A black soldier smiled and approached, as if to get close to him.
"Do you know magic too?"
"A little. ”
Tony's magic progress is very fast, although he can't freeze a Transformer as big as Megatron like Ethan, but it is not difficult to throw out a few fireballs, ice arrows or something with a wave of his hand, especially when he can cast spells with the help of the energy of the Ark reactor, he can extract and mobilize a large amount of energy in an instant, and then cast powerful spells to attack, which is currently his killer weapon.
"But isn't Tony Stark a tech genius?"
Only then did Tony know that this guy was also joking with himself about 'Iron Man'.
"Haha, it's very funny, so do you think I look like Iron Man?"
The nano armor was quickly dressed, and it only took a few seconds for Tony to turn into a metal man, and the arrogant color scheme of golden red was not at all inconsistent in this slightly gloomy base, and even the cold environment reflected the entire suit of armor revealing a cold aura.
"Roar!"
The black soldier was startled by Tony's sudden transformation, and took a few steps back to distance himself from Tony, but the other party did not pounce, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Tony, in particular, immediately disarmed his head and spread his hands with a smile: "How's it going?"
"Oh buy karma!"
The movement of the two men in the corner also attracted the attention of the others, and John Keller was still coordinating the loading of Megatron by the people in the base, and it was not clear what was going on in the corner.
Smith, who has been observing his surroundings and has listed Ethan and Tony, two aliens who look like humans, as his key observation targets, keeps a close eye on the two.
So he clearly saw the whole process, and he also noticed how Tony's armor was dressed.
"Is this also a magic-like ability?"
There were not only military fighters and Pentagon politicians, but also technical staff officers, who followed behind everyone in a very low-key manner, never speaking out when they were not needed, and only in this case would they whisper: "It looks like nanotechnology, and it is quite mature nanotechnology." ”
Nanotechnology is not some hidden technology that no one knows, and ordinary people know about it.
But nanotechnology that can really be used has not yet appeared, at least not in this world.
Smith soon realized what that meant:
Not only does the other party have a life level far beyond human beings, but also has a powerful power comparable to that of a god, and even far ahead of the earth in science and technology;
This seems to be normal, since the other party claims to be a civilization that can venture in the universe, it would be strange if the technology mastered was not as good as the earth.
Ethan noticed the senator and his staff officer who were communicating in a low voice, and he was very happy to see Tony's little show, and the stronger the ability he showed, the less the other party dared to do anything to them, and in the end he had to sit down and negotiate.
Robert Epps, the black soldier, cautiously approached Tony, and then touched Tony's steel armor with his hands.
It's cold at the beginning, it's the texture of metal.
"Wow! What is this? Is it magic too?"
"No, it's nanotechnology. ”
Tony put the nano armor away again, and this time it was clear to everyone that the entire steel armor swam around his body like a liquid, eventually burrowing into his clothes and turning into a watch on his left wrist.
No one could see what was going on inside the clothes, and no one dared to run over to take a closer look at Tony's clothes, but everyone could see the watch on his left wrist, and no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be an ordinary watch.
"Tony Stark, huh?"
"Uh-huh! I'm Tony Stark!"
Tony felt like he had proved himself well, but Epps's next sentence almost didn't skew his nose.
"So, aliens like to read comics too......"
Rolling his eyes, Tony had given up, he felt that he couldn't change the preconceived impression of these guys by saying anything, he was now in the eyes of these people probably an alien freak who liked Iron Man very much, relying on his mastery of high technology, he could perfectly play the comic book character of Iron Man.
After such a delay, Megatron has been packed into a special container, and Optimus Prime looks at Megatron who has turned into an ice sculpture, and finally firmly turns into the front of a heavy truck.
During this period of time, he had conducted various temptations and exchanges with the Minister of Defense, and it had been determined that it was impossible for humans to give up the source of fire, and it was not very likely that Transformers would want to directly get back the source of fire.
However, the other party did not directly say it to death, and it seemed that everything could still be discussed.
Optimus Prime naturally doesn't think about things in a bad direction, he feels that since the two sides can communicate further, then the two sides will definitely understand each other in the future.
At least they have won the opportunity to co-keep the source of fire with humans - after all, the source of fire is something of Transformers, and humans are still trying to win over Bopai, and it is impossible and inconvenient to refuse Bopai to contact the source of fire, so they proposed the method of 'co-custody', so that the Bopai autobots have the opportunity to contact the source of fire.
It can barely be regarded as an opening, which makes the Bopai car people see some hope, so that there is a basis for continued cooperation.
The convoy carrying Megatron departed from Hoover Dam, and this time Tony and Ethan did not ride any of the Transformers, but were in a command vehicle further back of the line with the Secretary of Defense and the senator.
The front-line command was all handed over to Major William Lennox, who had experience in firefights with the mad Transformers, and after the convoy departed, they began to actively 'leak' that the item being transported was Megatron.
As for whether the Decepticons will be fooled, the Decepticons are going crazy trying to find their leader, and these people who are currently operating on Earth are a bit of a lack of IQ, Ethan doesn't think they can see through this simple trap.
In other words: what if you see through it? Megatron is here, will you come?
As Ethan expected, it didn't take long after the convoy set off, and before it got close to the ambush circle, enemy traces had already appeared.
"It's a Raptor fighter, and I obviously haven't ordered the Air Force to support it. ”
"Don't think about it, it's a Decepticon. ”
Even if Ethan didn't say it, everyone guessed that the fighter was the enemy, and now the situation was awkward - how should the ground convoy fight a supersonic fighter?
Even if the fighter planes are called over to support, it will not arrive immediately, and this time is enough time for the other side to bomb the convoy back and forth.
Looking at the several big people who were tangled, Tony straightened his collar and pressed Ethan, who was about to say something, back.
"Is it finally my turn?"
