Chapter 333: S: Glorious Event (13)
In the underground experimental base of S.H.I.E.L.D., a man with brown hair and green eyes stepped forward, shook Schiller's hand and said, "Long time no see, Schiller, since you left the University of California, there has been no news, I didn't expect that we would meet here." ”
"It's true that I haven't seen you for a long time, and after I transferred to Harvard, I thought you would leave UC soon, but I didn't expect to stay for so long, Bruce, how are you doing?" Schiller smiled and shook Bruce Banner's hand.
Schiller used to teach at the University of California in this capacity at Marvel, and he and Banner were colleagues at that time, but Schiller stayed there for a short time before leaving, and Bruce Banner is still a professor at the University of California.
"It's not bad, it's just that after you leave, I have to pay for every psychological consultation." Banner smiled and pushed his glasses.
There weren't just the two of them in the room, Stark was standing next to him, but he was busy with himself, and Schiller and Banner didn't exist as if he weren't there.
After Schiller got out of the way and let Banner walk into the lab, Banner glanced at Stark, rolled his eyes slightly, and then turned and walked to the lab table.
Schiller walked up to him, glanced back at Stark, and asked, "You two don't have a good relationship?" ”
"Who's going to have a good relationship with Stark, you ask? At the last global forum, he talked about it for three and a half hours, devaluing the existing theories of physics to nothing......" Banner pushed his glasses again, he didn't lower his voice, so Stark could hear it clearly.
Stark let out a short breath from his nose, strode out of the laboratory with a stack of materials, but Banner showed a puzzled expression, looked at his back and said, "What's wrong with this guy?" In the past, he would rush up and reason with me for hours. ”
"People always have to grow up." Schiller shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Did S.H.I.E.L.D. find you?" Who else did they find? ”
"For the time being, it's just me, originally, they have contacted Reed Richards, but his third phase of near-Earth research has not yet been completed, and it is still hanging in the sky, and it is estimated that it will be half a month later at the earliest."
Banner glanced at Schiller and asked, "You were the first of us to arrive, do you know any inside information?" S.H.I.E.L.D. is making a big move this time, as if it wants to get physicists from all over the world......"
"I didn't arrive before you, now I'm a psychological advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D., and I can only tell you that this is a big move, and if I'm not mistaken, someone is giving a speech to the World Security Council......"
"To sum up, the fact that humans are not alone in the universe has been confirmed, but it is a pity that what awaits us next is not friendly contact of the third kind, but aliens with highly developed technology unimaginable to humans, and the ...... of friend or foe is unknown."
In the center of the Security Council's semi-circular seat, Steve is standing on the podium, accompanied by his speech, and behind him he shows a picture of the Kree planetary battleship taken by Eddie.
Eddie's ability to become a well-known journalist is impeccable, and this picture is very well shot, with an incomparably large planetary battleship in the center and above the frame, emitting a faint light in the vast cosmic starry sky, and at the bottom of the picture are very small space agents, and on both sides of the picture, there are countless frigates.
Although it is not known how Eddie happened to capture the picture of the Kree's only remaining frigate, judging from this picture alone, this fleet does not look like a defeated army that has just fled for its life, lost most of its frigates, and can't even return home, but looks like a majestic army that is ready to attack other civilizations.
Steve also glanced back at the picture, he silently praised Eddie's professionalism in his heart, and continued to say in a calm tone: "This is a developed civilization that is unimaginable for human beings, and next, I will introduce you to the Cree and their planetary warships......"
Nick sat in the audience, and he saw that as Steve spoke, the faces of the council members became more and more solemn, until they became a little pale, and even Pierce, who had always managed his expression well and was moody, became very solemn, almost writing shock on his face.
As Steve just said, the World Security Council has long known about the existence of aliens and knows something about Asgard, but their imagination of aliens is still relatively limited, after all, for so many years, human beings have been working behind closed doors, and there is no intuitive understanding of how far alien technology can develop, but now, the evidence is in front of them.
How developed is a civilization that can transform a planet about the size of the Earth into a planetary warship?
No one could have imagined it until they saw the real evidence, but now they saw, not only did they see it, but they also learned that the fleet of warships of this civilization planet was stopped at the edge of the galaxy at this time.
It's like a beginner's guide to some games, giving you a sword and letting you kill a chicken, telling you that you have understood the whole gameplay of this game, let's go save the world, and the player happily goes out to face a full-level ancient god with more than 180 hands......
Now, human civilization hasn't even come out of the novice village, and the tutorial hasn't been finished, and the final boss is already squatting at the door of the house, even if you have concentration, you have to panic.
After more than two hours of speaking according to the speech, even Steve was a little dry and dizzy, he actually didn't understand the technical terms that Stark summed up, so most of the time he was rote memorizing, copying, and dealing with all kinds of strange questions underneath, if he hadn't been professionally trained, this would have been carried away.
As he walked from the podium to the backstage, he wiped the sweat from his forehead, he wanted to go to Nick, but he saw that Nick was talking to a dark-haired man in uniform, Steve knew that man, he was Zheng Xian, the director of the Spear Bureau, and Nick always stayed with him every time he came to a Security Council meeting.
Steve could guess what the two of them were talking about, so he didn't plan to walk over to participate in the conversation, but walked through the backstage alone, just then, Pierce, who had white sideburns, stopped him, he stepped forward, shook Steve's hand and said, "Long time no see, Captain America, how are you doing?" ”
"It's okay, it's just a little busy."
"Really? Are you busy with something about an alien invasion? ”
"That's not right, Director Nick's superhero squad plan didn't go well, although we found a lot of people, but we didn't even have a decent base, and I had to run around to find a house......"
"In addition, logistical supplies are also a problem, and if it is all up to S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick will have to worry about funding for the next quarter."
Pierce was all too familiar with this tone, and he immediately squeezed Steve's hand and said, "Superhero squad plan?" Actually, I really liked the plan, and when Nick proposed the initial plan to me, I said I would support him strongly. ”
"Captain, will you be free later? I asked a couple of MPs to play golf with them, and they and their families are fans of yours, and they would be happy to see a real person. ”
"Oh, don't do that, Chief Alexander, we all rely on these heroes behind the scenes......"
"They're going to love talking to you about it, Nick should have to wait a while, let's go first."
Pierce and Steve walked quickly backstage, Nick and Jung Hyun sat at the coffee table by the window, watching the two figures walk farther and farther away, Nick picked up the cup and said, "...... Then according to what we have just discussed, as for those things on the surface, we have to wait for the official contact. ”
Zheng Xian raised his glass, touched it with him and said, "Then it's decided, if there is any change during the official discussion, we will contact ...... at any time."
With that, he got up and left, and Nick took out his phone, called Strange, and asked him, "How are the mages arranged?" How many people can be deployed? Our scientists are almost assembled and ready to work......"
"Listen to me, there's a change in plans." On the stairs in front of the main hall of Kama Taj, Strange was walking down with a phone in his hand and said, "Originally, we expected to find 20 mages to open the portal separately, but just now the king told me that the archmages of Kama Taj have developed a large portal......
"A large portal? How big is it? ”
"So far, if you combine the power of all the mages of Kama Taj and the power of the Earth's magical defense system, you can probably drive to a size larger than the moon."
"So big?!" Nick said in surprise.
"Yes, I'm surprised, too, but after all, Kama Taj is the magical holy land of the earth, and the people who can become archmages here are all knowledgeable scholars, they are not inferior to human scientists, but the direction of research is magic."
Strange sighed and said, "It has to start with the Holy of Holies......"
Originally, Kama Taj was an ancient magical shrine, and their magic skills had not changed for thousands of years, because this was the most practical and stable way to control magic that generations of mages had explored, and it was enough to protect the earth.
But recently, the times have moved too fast, first of all, the alternation of the position of the Supreme Mage, and the Ancient One is now returning to Kama Taj less and less, and most of the things are presided over by Strange.
Although they are optimistic about Strange's potential, but the current level of Strange's magic is really not flattering, without the protection of the powerful Ancient One, these archmages also have a sense of crisis.
What's more, with the development of the Holy of Holies with more and more customers and more and more business, the mages are about to rub out the sparks of the portal.
The Guardians of the Temple and the Archmage had the help of the Ring, and it was easier to open the portal, while the other mages were more laborious, but the daily business was still very large, and Kama Taj went from a magical shrine to a 996 shrine overnight, and the mages were all so tired that they were snorting.
Demand always drives productivity, and in the time that the Holy of Holies has opened, the magic portal has gone through several generations of updates, becoming more energy-efficient and stable.
However, it is not as good as a fixed large portal to open a portal, so the archmages of Kama Taj worked overtime to start researching a large portal that can be fixed in the universe.
Originally, mages need to be extremely careful when using their powers, because the essence of Marvel magic is to borrow, and once you borrow too much and can't pay it back, you will be in big trouble.
However, the previous Nar serving incident caused the Ancient One to give all the mages of Kama Taj a big feast, in addition to everyone was full, there was still a lot of energy left, stored in the central hub of Kama Taj, and the mages used this energy to study better magic techniques, and the effect was outstanding.
In addition to the sufficient strength, there is also technical support from the demon god, and there is a problem with the way the energy is used? Call Mephisto directly, the space is not stable enough? Call Mordo and ask him to ask Dormammu, the teleportation process is unstable and easy to get stuck? Pull a crimson ribbon and ask Setolak......
While Stark was climbing the tech tree, Kama Taj was also busy lighting up her magic skills, and the speed of both sides was not slow, and there was even a bit of a competition.
