Io returns to the interstellar laboratory once again.
Looking at everything that was familiar, Rao is Io couldn't help but sigh slightly.
In particular, the area damaged by his fight with Wonder Woman has not yet been completely repaired, but everything is completely different.
"Doctor."
At the entrance of the Astronomical District, Io meets Jane and Eric, who are obviously a little puzzled by Io's arrival, but also vaguely aware of their arrival.
"Zod ......"
For the last time, Io said in a consultative tone to the two top astrophysicists in the human race, "Maybe you all know the thing, my people have found me, and I must go back and lead them." Thank you for your help during this time, the achievements of both of you in astrophysics are amazing......"
Io stretched out his hands and said in an inviting voice, "Now, I ask you one last time, which of you still wants to follow me and follow the Empire?" ”
Looking at the dark and blue-powered Imperial ships in the courtyard, Eric and Jane all looked at each other and fell silent.
Io was not in a hurry to urge them, but kept his hands outstretched, looking at them with a smile.
Half-paid, Jane asked cautiously, "Is this a threat or an invitation?" ”
Io put down his hand, and Io didn't hesitate about her distrust, but appreciated her a little more. After all, who wouldn't have a heart for such a thing.
"Rest assured, this is just a kind invitation." Io and the vocal tract.
"Doctor, on this earth, you may be able to see nothing more than a corner of the well in your lifetime, but if you join us, you will see a world that you can't imagine, a magnificent universe!"
To be honest, Io is not a successful lobbyist, but it is undeniable that Io's capital is too big, and there is a super cosmic civilization standing behind him. If Jane and Eric choose to join, then as Io said, a world beyond the imagination of the earth will open up to them, and the boundlessness and wonder of the universe will be unveiled to them one by one, and this is not what scientists like Jane and Eric have been pursuing all their lives?
Thus, after the initial shock and agitation, Jane and Eric fell silent, clearly struggling and considering the pros and cons.
Then, it was Io's impression that washed away again, and this time, it was still Eric, who had always been more defensive than trusting Io, who took the lead in making the choice.
"I'm joining!" He said without hesitation.
Jane, who was still hesitating, was shocked: "Eric......"
"Jane, I'm getting old, and I don't have more time to think slowly and understand the wonders and mysteries of science." Eric stroked his gray hair and smiled wryly.
"And the universe is so big, I really want to know, what else is beyond the earth? Where did the origin of life begin? Eric said feverishly.
"This opportunity provided by Zod just makes up for my regrets, I can learn as much as possible about the secrets of our universe and life in a limited time, and understand a series ......of cosmic problems that have plagued us human beings for countless years, such as super-warp jump technology, planet birth and death, etc., which is very tempting for me as an old man."
"But ......" Jane looked at the two tall legionnaires who had come with Io, and then at the ship in the courtyard.
"It's okay."
Eric woke up from his frenzy, looked at Io, and comforted her, "I believe in Zod, since he chose to confess all this to us, then absolutely, he will not embarrass my ......"
Io understands their concerns, but disagrees.
Coming to them is just to do his last bit of kindness, after all, these things were made by himself at the beginning, and Io just wants to finish well, but he will not give a promise that he can't keep, and get himself an uncle to go back to raise.
So he just smiled and didn't speak.
Jane was embarrassed to think left and right, half paid, her mouth squirmed, but then abruptly stopped.
When Io saw it, he immediately understood her thoughts, and he didn't force her.
"It's okay, Doctor, I told you, it's a kind invitation, and since you can't make up your mind, I'll leave it to you." Io chuckled.
"Really?" Jane was overjoyed.
Io nodded, with the Empire, everything on Earth would lose its meaning to him, so he said cheerfully, "This place was originally made of cloth... Ruth and the two of them have spent so much effort to build it, and it should be inherited by you......"
Io quickly skipped the name, and said to Jane Foster, who was surprised, and Eric, who was also happy for her, with the same expression, said, "In view of the unwelcome of the Earth side to us, it should be, we will not interfere too much in your affairs, so this research institute has no meaning for us......"
"After we're gone, you'll be in charge of everything here, Doctor."
Since he said it, Io simply said generously: "All academic and applied inventions and discoveries born during this period can also be brought to your name..."
"And as for the day-to-day operation and maintenance."
Io said thoughtfully, "I don't think Bruce will let go of such a large piece of meat, so don't worry......"
Jane was already so excited that she didn't know what to say, her pretty face was red, and her eyes were open.
Although she lost the best opportunity to explore the mysteries of the universe, Jane, who was still young and familiar with the earth and the world, thought that she would be kicked out of here, and she didn't want Io to hand over a huge research institute to her, and gave her all the research results before.
This was completely unexpected, and Jane's sense of loss and imminent separation from her partner washed away a lot.
"Is this okay?" She said in surprise.
And Eric, who chose to part ways, was also happy for his former colleague who was also a mentor and friend, and a daughter: "That would be great, Jane ......"
Io couldn't help but be happy until he saw Adeline, who had gone to deal with the single-phase teleportation anchor underground, reappear and nod her head to him, and Io reminded, "Alright, this is the end of the matter here." Dr. Eric, let's go! ”
"Are you leaving?" Jane came back to her senses from her ecstasy and looked at Eric reluctantly.
And Eric has also come to his senses, and reluctantly took a final look at everything on the earth, gritted his teeth, and turned to follow.
"Eric!" Jane Foster burst into tears.
……,……
Stepping into the small reconnaissance ship of the Empire, Eric Seveger, the top astrophysicist on earth, looked around with enthusiasm and shock like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
"The shape is so peculiar, and it can fly so fast, this is not in accordance with the principle of aerodynamics......"
"Do you have a power system for cold nuclear fusion? Or vacuum atomic power? Or antimatter thrusters? Why can't I even feel the atmospheric pressure from the push......"
"God, we've gone through the atmosphere!"
Looking at the vast universe in front of him, which does not care about up and down, left and right, before and after, the astrophysicist who has been in the gravity of the planet all his life is shocked.
Handing him a strange device, Io chuckled, "So, Doctor, the universe is very big!" If you don't come out and take a look, you don't even know how small the earth is! ”
Eric was silent, then he looked at the device strangely, "What is this?" ”
Io helped him hold the device to his neck, and with a press of it, a transparent film of light as thin as a cicada's wings immediately wrapped around Eric's head.
"The atmospheric composition of our spacecraft is slightly different from Earth's, you need a breathing apparatus!"
