Chapter 1315: The Interstellar Stage (22)

"Xu, you should have just come here, right? After you are familiar with the workplace, we can go to the cafeteria to eat together, and then go to the logistics department to get your work uniform and badge. Steve's voice was always very calm, giving a sense of strong security, and his expression was always smiling and amiable, so to speak, a light among the vicious agents.

But even if Steve didn't show such gentleness, Xu Shangqi was already about to hang his eyes on him.

"Let's go, let's get on the shuttle first, your place of work is at another base in S.H.I.E.L.D., but it's not far from here, we can take a special military shuttle, and then ...... Xu, Xu, are you listening? ”

"Oh, I'm here." Xu Shangqi cleared his throat, but he couldn't help but put his eyes on Steve, and said with some confusion: "Why aren't you wearing a uniform?" Indeed, although Steve in front of him was holding a shield representing him as Captain America, he was not wearing a uniform, but a tracksuit, looking like a mountaineer.

Steve was a little surprised when he heard the question, and he said, "Who can wear a uniform all the time?" This is not a combat mission, so of course I wear civilian clothes. ”

"Ah......" Xu Shang replied angrily, and only then did he react, indeed, he had traveled here, not watching movies or comics, and no superhero would wear their uniform 24 hours a day.

And Xu Shangqi knows that he is not an important person, how can he be worthy of Captain America to come to see him in full armor?

Being a passerby in the Marvel world? It sounds like a bit of a wretch, after all, because of the big war of these superheroes, New York dies every day, and passers-by are likely to die under the aftermath of the battle, but if you put it another way, wouldn't it sound better to be a civil servant in the Marvel world?

To be a street hero or to be a civil servant? Xu Shangqi, as a young man with strong blood, of course, chose not to look back...... Public servant!

Western civilization and its descendants, who are essentially maritime civilizations, cannot understand the pursuit of stability that is engraved in the bones of the land civilization of the Eastern countries.

Therefore, in their eyes, the Oriental people are very eccentric, they can choose a more passionate life, but they are only willing to stand still, but in order to pursue this stable life at a glance, they are willing to go to the bloody revolution.

Since ancient times, the unification pursued by all kings is nothing more than the pursuit of stable power, the king is like this, and the same is true for the small people, Xu Shangqi touched his conscience and said, if violent means and civilized means can change the Marvel world, then he will definitely choose civilized means.

Then, he understood why Schiller was working as a psychiatrist in S.H.I.E.L.D., instead of going out to be a superhero.

Perhaps, even if he has special abilities, he will not do this, this is the essential difference between Eastern and Western cultural thinking, China's hegemony, in the final analysis, is the scheming thinking of fighting and building, not the pirate thinking of grabbing a vote and running.

On the way to the Agent Training Academy with Steve, Xu Shangqi kept thinking, now that he has become a civil servant of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Spear, what exactly does he have to do to get the stability he is looking for and make the Marvel world more stable?

Xu Shangqi is not stupid, or rather, Oriental people in the Western world always have an aura from the wisdom of their ancestors, so that they can find the answer to everything from the historical stories they have recited since childhood, because human history is inherently in endless reincarnation.

Now it seems that this world should indeed be in the future, Xu Shangqi looked down at the shuttle under his feet, he was very sure that the development of human science and technology in the Marvel world in the movie has not reached this level, at least not to this level for civilian use.

However, from the previous conversation between Schiller and Zheng Xian, Xu Shangqi learned that not only one or two countries are technologically advanced, as if all countries maintain their original political system, but science and technology have taken a step forward, which is actually very strange.

Xu Shangqi's vision of the government of mankind jointly developing science and technology and entering the world of the universe must at least be an Earth Federation, but it seems that the world has developed science and technology, and the political culture has not developed much, but this is good, so that he can adapt better.

Due to the struggle between countries and international relations, everything has to be brought with a lot of political considerations, and many technologies cannot be cooperated smoothly, isn't this a waste of the dividends of the first interstellar period?

Thinking of this, Xu Shangqi suddenly realized, in fact, his position is really important, because he can connect the two superpowers, although he is only a trainee agent, but this internship job is also unique, and it is not as soft-spoken as he imagined.

Looking at the attitude of Zheng Xian and Schiller before, it seems that they are planning to cooperate in the technology of building the dream world, and the place of their meeting is in the dream, that is, it may not be convenient for them to meet in the real world, and it seems that there is still some resistance to the cooperation of this technology.

Xu Shangqi touched his chin and fell into deep thought, he was thinking about what he could do, to let his compatriots who were thousands of miles away go to the dream realm to continue rolling, what was the resistance?

What is the breaking point?

"Xu, Xu, what are you thinking? We're here. Steve's voice sounded in Xu Shangqi's ears, Xu Shangqi was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, he showed an apologetic smile at Steve, and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, I just got distracted." Steve smiled and patted him on the back and led him out of the shuttle, where he was greeted by what looked like an alien city-like agent base.

The building in the middle of the building is a regular 20-hedron, and the tall buildings on both sides are symmetrical, like the shape of daggers, and the three buildings are connected together, and a huge space carrier floats in the sky.

"It's a coincidence that you've been hired, our new base has just been put into use, and it's one of the best lots in the suburbs of New York State, and God knows how Nick got congressional approval to build a base for him." "The technology used in the buildings here is the latest and most cutting-edge, including air conditioning, fresh air systems, and hot and cold exchange channels, all of which are currently the most advanced versions, and the greenhouses and farms where the ingredients are cultivated are the same as those of the Mercury base, ensuring that they are organic and pollution-free," said Steve, half-jokingly. ”

"By the way, your personal terminal...... I almost forgot to give it to you. Steve took out a bracelet-like thing from the bosom of his tracksuit, Xu Shangqi also took it and put it on, and then walked into this huge base just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.

As soon as he walked into this building, Xu Shangqi was stunned, in the indescribable huge space, countless agents wearing S.H.I.E.L.D. uniforms came and went, not the kind of coming and going on the ground, but flying in the sky.

Not only does the building look like a beehive, but the interior also resembles a hive, with all agents appearing to be wearing exoskeletons that don't look obvious from the outside, and then moving from department to department like bees returning to the hive.

In the middle of the building is a large patio cavity that reaches to the top floor of the building, allowing flying agents to reach the department they want to go to as quickly and in the shortest distance.

Just when Xu Shangqi stood in place in shock, Steve took out a small piece of iron from his arms and handed it to Xu Shangqi, Xu Shangqi lowered his head and found that it looked a bit like a business card, but he couldn't read the words and numbers written on it.

After he took it, he looked at Steve with some blankness and asked, "What is this?" ”

"Don't you envy them for being able to fly?" Steve showed a big smile and said, "Your expression says this, don't be envious, wear it, you can fly." Xu Shangqi blinked, looked down at the small piece of iron in his hand again, he swallowed his saliva and asked, "How to wear it?" ”

"Throw it into the air in the most handsome pose." Xu Shangqi's eyes widened, and then he stretched out his other hand and slammed the wrist of the hand he was holding the iron piece, and the iron piece flew into the air, and quickly unfolded in a way that Xu Shangqi couldn't see or understand at all, and armed it on his body.

Xu Shangqi found that a thin membrane was attached to his wrists, ankles, and the bottom ribs, which were still flashing with a mysterious luster.

Steve pointed to a room door opposite, then stepped back in place, jumped directly into the corridor opposite the patio, and stood behind the railing and waved to Xu Shangqi.

Xu Shangqi took two steps back with some hesitation, slowly spread his arms, lifted his feet off the ground, and then flew towards the opposite side as if he was drunk.

He found that it didn't require special concentration to control, and it felt a bit like swimming in the water with a thruster on his back, using his muscles to control direction and speed.

Xu Shangqi let out a sigh of relief after landing on the ground, as if he was a little stunned, Steve stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said: "This is the latest technology neuro-electric controlled compression magic exoskeleton, so I said, you came at the right time, there was no such good thing before, and you can only rely on talent if you want to fly." But Steve found that Xu Shangqi's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and then he heard him say something in Chinese that Steve didn't understand in an excited tone

"Isn't this a flight plug-in?!" Xu Shangqi took a deep breath, he slowly walked towards the railing, and then looked at the flying agent and muttered, "I said why there is no system!" It's full of golden fingers! ”

"No...... I used to be just an ordinary person. He frowned again, looked at the sunlight shining down from the translucent ceiling at the top of the hive, and said with some fascination, "Every agent here has a golden finger, but what about ordinary people?" "Wow

"Ordinary people may have too." Xu Shangqi said as if recalling: "The kind of buses and trains that fly in the sky, they can also fly, and ordinary people can also fly." Xu Shangqi's mind was filled with countless fragmentary fantasies that were put together into a picture, and at the moment before he died, he clearly saw that the truck driver was driving with his eyes closed, sleeping.

Xu Shangqi knew very well that the goods behind the carriage were probably in another distant city the night before, but today they went to the factory to put the assembly line into products, and then returned to the hands of every ordinary person.

But the fatigued truck driver killed Xu Shangqi, which meant that they would never reach the factory again.

The truck driver, the taxi driver, and himself will never reach the end of their life again.

There is no worker in this world who deliberately damages the fruits of his labor by mistake, and they must maintain a balance between the pursuit of efficiency and safety, and this is like dancing on the edge of a knife.

Xu Shang was anxious to return to the internship unit to work overtime, taxi drivers were anxious to solicit customers to earn money, and truck drivers were anxious to deliver goods, and the fragile balance between efficiency and safety was unfortunately broken, resulting in a tragedy for three people or three families.

If you ...... Xu Shangqi thought of another possibility, if there was a more efficient means of transport flying in the sky, which could operate automatically around the clock and send him to the place he wanted to go, would this tragedy be avoided?

Xu Shangqi walked all the way along the railing, he thought, what the university teacher said was right, all deficiencies are deficiencies in productivity.

But now, the picture of a developed future unfolds before his eyes, and he truly realizes that one day in the future, the lack of productivity will be compensated, people will soar freely in the sky, and thousands of tragedies like him will no longer happen.

Standing in the corridor in the center of the hive, Xu Shangqi's fingers holding the railing slowly clenched, and the spark rooted in the hearts of every Chinese began to burn more and more.
