Chapter 090: Forced Cooperation

"Yes, Chief, I asked you to ask you...... Oh he still didn't answer, but we could all see he was shocked, and obviously what that question you asked me meant to him...... Yes, I do too...... All right...... Well, I got it......"

This is the second time that the mysterious leader has taken the initiative to call, and the same leader has taken the initiative to hang up. Unlike the last time the boss hung up and felt released from the pressure, this time Sisko looked very depressed.

"What's wrong?" Caitlyn asked worriedly.

"I've been warned." There was some reluctance in Sisko's tone, "The leader asked me not to ask more...... But I haven't started asking yet! Caitlin, what is Speed Force? ”

"Presumably some unproven theory that an object moving at high speed exerts an additional influence on its surroundings? I do not know. Caitlyn thought for a moment, shook her head, and laughed again. I know something else, though. The leader knows that you will definitely ask, and obviously knows you somewhat. No, if he doesn't warn you, it's not me but him who you're asking. ”

Thinking about it, Sisko rolled his eyes.

"I'll find out anyway—when I'm done with what I'm doing."

"Then you'll have to wait."

Caitlin was right. At the moment, Sisko's most important task is still to study hammers and lightning from beyond Earth, and this task is not so easy to accomplish, even with the 'help' of Hydra. Well, that's called collaboration.

Before the intention of cooperation was proposed, the Resistance and Hydra each had one thing related to the event. Not long ago, the Resistance found a strange blond man falling from the sky in a place where a special lightning bolt had appeared out of thin air. This blonde man claimed to be Thor, the prince of the Aesir, from a place called Asgard. From time to time, he looked up at the sky at 45 degrees, not with emotion, but with angry shouts, saying things like "Father, you abandoned me", "Heimdall open the rainbow bridge" and so on. Judging by his nonsense, he clearly thinks that he is Thor, the god of thunder in Norse mythology.

After trying to find out the true identity of the blond man through verbal communication, the Resistance decided to study it scientifically. It's fine to tie up the blond man and give him an anesthetic injection, but every time scientists try to draw blood from the blond man, a flash of lightning bursts out of the blond man's body, burning the needle. After several failures, the scientists at the scene were a little annoyed and decided to use a knife to bleed the surface of the blonde's skin. This time, however, the blonde man's body burst out with lightning that not only burned the scalpel the scientist was holding, but also electrocuted the scientist's hand.

At this point, the scientists of the Resistance confirmed one thing: this blond man may not be Thor, the god of thunder in Norse mythology, but he is definitely from an alien world with a civilization much more advanced than Earth. And the lightning that burst out of its body should be some kind of high-level protection mechanism. It is not advisable to continue testing until more information is available and more estimates are made.

On the other side, Hydra found a hammer that also fell from the sky and also carried lightning, this hammer could not be moved, nor could it be picked up, even if the crane was dispatched, which was obviously beyond the understanding of the scientists on the Hydra side, and also raised the threat rating of the unknown alien race with this hammer on the Hydra side.

There is no doubt that there is clearly a close connection between the blond man who calls himself Thor and the hammer that cannot be moved. So, since the news of the Hydra having such a hammer in its hands, the Resistance has tried to take it away. They even paid the price of hundreds of warriors to storm the base where the hammer was located in the news, which they now occupied. It's a pity they couldn't find the hammer. The rest of the story was known, and Hydra also knew that the Resistance had another thing related to hammers and lightning, and claimed that they had sent twelve squads to their deaths as a gesture of goodwill—a perverted gesture; The dispatch of high-level agents to facilitate this cooperation was a sign of sincerity. The Resistance did not object, and the mysterious leader confirmed the intention to cooperate by phone. As a result, the cooperation began after the two sides agreed on a number of mutually acceptable terms.

In general, the first step in such cooperation should be to move those two things to neutral territory. But that's not going to happen. Let's not say that there is no so-called neutral zone in terms of Hydra's influence in the world, and then the most critical point is that the hammer is actually no longer in the hands of Hydra.

Oh, don't worry, because Hydra is still the only one who knows where it is.

Trevor had previously asked the question: since the hammer could not be moved, how did the Hydra men take it away? The fact is that the men of Hydra did not take it away at all, it remained at the landing site where it came to Earth. In other words, it was never 'in' the base that once belonged to Hydra but was occupied by the Resistance, but 'on' the base. Remember, as I said before, that base was just over ten miles north-northwest of Bus, below a moraine lake. And the hammer is at the bottom of the moraine lake.

So Hydra offered to cooperate, not because they were noble enough to give up their hostility with the Resistance in order to deal with the aliens, but because after the base was captured by the Resistance, they couldn't approach the moraine lake again for the time being, and the hammer they had been studying before approaching. In addition, since the Resistance had something similar in hand, they simply pushed the boat and offered to cooperate.

It's just that just as the Resistance didn't expect the hammer to be at the bottom of the lake above their heads, Hydra didn't expect that the Resistance's side had something related to it turned out to be a person—an alien. Shock, that's the first reaction of both sides after knowing that kind of news.

However, both sides are more rational about this cooperation, and they did not make trouble because of these accidents, and the cooperation has officially entered the right track. Hydra will send a certain number of researchers into the base that originally belonged to them, and under the supervision of the resistance fighters, they will work with the resistance experts to study the hammer, study Thor, study the relationship between the two, and find a way to obtain information about the aliens behind them. During this period, although the personal safety of the scientists excluded by Hydra was threatened and their personal freedom was restricted, they had the right to contact the outside world at any time and transmit the data obtained from the cooperation back to Hydra headquarters. This right not only ensures the interests of Hydra in this cooperation, but also ensures the safety of the lives of these Hydra scientists. After all, since Hydra has been able to obtain the relevant data during the cooperation period, there is naturally no need for the resistance group to get along with these scientists. As for killing these scientists to weaken Hydra's scientific prowess? There is no doubt that these scientists do not represent the highest level of scientific research of Hydra. Don't forget, Hydra's strongest scientists are either members of the Super Council or leaders scattered around the world with their own own labs!
