307. On the eve of change

Three days later.

The real existence of Asgard and the tragic wars of foreign civilizations have set off extensive discussions and influences around the world, huge public opinion discussions, and the response trends of various countries have become the focus of people's attention.

However, in this violent wave that swept the world, the first to bear the brunt was a female astronomer who was originally unknown.

Miss Jane Foster, who was at Ambrera, had long published a number of papers expounding her deviant and absurd astronomical theories, which of course were considered fallacies by mainstream scholarship, and which are now fully confirmed.

Jane, who was standing in the lecture hall of the White House, still did not come to her senses at this time, and there were generals from the Department of Defense, the president's confidants, and Mr. Secretary of State, who many people would never see in their lifetimes, sitting quietly below like students.

"There must be one of me and the world who is crazy." Jane patted her forehead.

All this happened so fast, it was incredible, she was supposed to leave for London, England, to observe astronomical phenomena, but she was taken directly to the White House, the center of power in the country, by the black-clad agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

She quietly called Daisy and asked her rich boyfriend for help, asking Harry Osborne because the Red Queen said that Sean was no longer in New York at this time, and had gone on an expedition to the North Pole a week ago and cut off contact with the outside world.

Due to the brief contact with New Mexico, Jane has no good impression of the black-clad agents, and after all kinds of calls for help, she realizes that it all started with Asgard.

The whole world is looking for more information about Asgard, and the global live broadcast three days ago was directly interrupted after the Golden Sentinel left with Thanos, and people did not know the final outcome of that war, nor did they know whether there would be space warships of alien civilizations outside this blue planet in the next moment.

Like a repetition of the Cold War of the last century, the tense and depressing atmosphere pervades the world, and the shadow of war hangs over the heads of human beings.

S.H.I.E.L.D., as a special agency of a global nature, will naturally be questioned and questioned by the World Security Council, and Nick Fury has to report the existence of Asgard and the only information he has, as well as Jane Foster, an astronomer who has had close contact with the Asgardian civilization.

"Asgard is an ancient civilization that is said to have descended on this planet when the earth was still in the wilderness of primitive tribes, and this is the true source of Norse mythology......"

Jane began to tell what she knew, in fact, most of the content was when she was in contact with Thor, and the other party took the initiative to tell him, and the prince of Asgard didn't know what was going on now.

"According to the Asgardian worldview, they believe that there are nine star fields in the Milky Way, which are connected to each other by the branches of the Yuqtrasil treeβ€”the World Tree, and the Earth is called the Atrium World, and we are called the Midgardians."

"How are they so distinctly different from us?" A general of the Ministry of Defense asked.

"The organs and tissues of the Asgardian people are roughly the same as ours, and the gap between the two is more reflected in the microscopic level, such as they are not easy to age, have strong recovery ability, rarely develop lesions in the body, and have low reproductive ability...... It is said that trained warriors can reach three times the body density of humans. ”

After a brief pause, he continued: "According to the content of Norse mythology, Asgard did leave traces on the earth a long time ago, and they mastered cutting-edge space technology, which reached the current level of human technology thousands of years ago. ”

"But it is worth pondering that the Asgardians were not as dominated by economic and political activities as we are, and retained more of the style of the medieval period, such as the traditional hereditary system of the throne, the use of force to maintain order in the surrounding area, and the lack of a developed currency exchange and a complete industrial system......"

"It seems like a kind of regression of civilization." Mr. Secretary of State said with a frown.

It sounds like the life of the ancient Norsemen, judging from the global live broadcast, Asgard's technology level is quite strange, they have mastered cutting-edge space teleportation, make space sailing ships and energy ship cannons, and have the technology to use energy weapons, but the way of warfare is still stuck in the medieval era, or rather, the lack of weapons of mass destruction, which led to the defeat of the Zetari army.

"No civilization is perfect, like the once outstanding Mayan civilization, they didn't even have a rudimentary wheel like rolling logs, maybe Asgard was like that, with a strong body, but the level of technology and social development has come to a standstill." Jane shook her head and said.

She had discussed this with Sean, who believed that Asgard had entered the twilight of civilization and could only rely on the accumulation of the past to maintain the status quo.

"And how do you explain magic, Miss Foster, for it has been mentioned more than once in your report." The president's staff asked.

"Do you know the concept of silent knowledge?" Jane asked rhetorically.

This was proposed by Michael Polanyi, that there are two kinds of human knowledge, that is, knowledge that is usually expressed in written words or maps, mathematical formulas, which is only one of the forms, and there is also a kind of knowledge that cannot be systematically expressed, such as some kind of knowledge about one's own behavior.

If we think of the former as explicit knowledge, then we can call the latter silent knowledge.

The most typical type of silent knowledge is "language", most people will not be able to understand all the grammatical rules of the language they speak for a lifetime, but it does not prevent people from using it skillfully.

Another example is that bats use its sonar to fly and hunt, this skill is incredible in the eyes of humans, so far, the radar system created by human ingenuity is still inferior to the innate sonar system of bats in many aspects, this is a kind of "silent knowledge", which evolved from nature and has nothing to do with its own intelligence.

For Thor, the same is true of the divine power in his body, which he can manipulate and use effortlessly, as if instinctively, but in the eyes of humans, it is a scientific principle that is difficult to explain.

Maybe this prince of Asgard can't even do high school math problems and doesn't understand what electromagnetic induction is, but that doesn't prevent him from being able to control thunder and lightning.

During the two-hour Q&A, Jane gave detailed information, which at least allowed many of the people present to sketch a simple outline of the Asgardian civilization.

As she walked out of the White House with a large pile of documents, the sky was covered with clouds and raindrops were falling quietly.

The world is about to undergo a huge change. Such a thought flashed through Jane's mind.

…………

Asgard.

Once regarded as the supreme realm of the gods by the Nine Realms, it is now reduced to a collapsed ruin, and between the ruins, the flames of war are burning with magnificent buildings, even the immortal palace standing on the top of the mountain has not been spared.

Silent grief and indignation pervaded the skies over the country, and for the first time, the brave Asgardians had suffered a crushing defeat, banishing the Dark Elves 10,000 years ago and defeating the Frost Giants a thousand years ago, never tasting the pain of defeat.

After Odin inherited the throne, he led the legion to conquer the Nine Realms, and was invincible, achieving supreme glory and glorious victories, making Asgard the guardian of the Nine Kingdoms.

But the attack of the Zetari army and the arrival of the cosmic overlord Thanos, all of which crushed the pride and glory of Asgard and trampled it into the mud!

The god-king Odin was seriously wounded, Queen Frigga died, and Thor collapsed...... The whole country was in mourning, and if it had not been for the hasty withdrawal of the Dark Order and the Zetari army at the last moment, Asgard's name might have been completely erased.

Thor walked into the palace with the hammer in his hand, his resolute face filled with grief, he had just held a funeral for his mother yesterday, a small boat with Frigga had been dressed before his death, sailed into the abyss of the World Tree, and his frail father shot the rocket, igniting the ship and taking away his thoughts.

The whole country is in mourning.

In addition to mourning the loss of the queen, but also because they lost their family and friends, the peaceful land was destroyed by the flames of war, and the flames of hatred were rising.

"Father."

Thor knelt under his throne, and he looked up at the King of Asgard, the old man who had been majestic and tall leaning on his seat, his breath faint.

Staring at the gray-haired, wrinkled face, Thor had never felt so clearly that his father was too old to continue to carry Asgard forward.

"Thanos is dead?" Odin asked softly.

The sudden departure of the Dark Order and the Zetari army must have a close relationship with the overlord of the universe, who won that earth-shattering and terrible battle?

"I don't know, Heimdall only saw them go to the edge of the Nine Star Fields." Thor shook his head, "That desolate planet is crumbling and shattered, and nothing else. ”

"Time is the worst enemy."

Odin sighed and sighed, if it weren't for his old age and declining strength, why would he have suffered a fiasco.

He beckoned to Thor, summoned his eldest son to the throne, and said in a deep voice, "Asgard needs to change, it has stopped for too long, and it is time for us to establish a new communication with the outside world." ”
