Gotham was destroyed.

If it is placed in a realistic work, it will be a very terrifying beginning, but unfortunately in the world of superheroes, cities are being destroyed every second.

But even so, the city of Gotham can still blossom in the vulgar, or die out of the flowers, because even in the world of superheroes, there is hardly a city that is destroyed because of the chaos of citizens.

The situation has evolved to the point where it is now, which inevitably carries some cruel connotations, but because of the special situation of Gotham, it is difficult to say that the people of Gotham do not deserve it, at least those who are still here are 100% deserved.

Unlike wars between countries and regions, gangsters do not bomb transportation hubs first, denigrate traffic hubs, or simply blow up highways.

On the one hand, the gangsters rarely have this kind of strategic vision, and most of the gangsters of this generation are also fighting this kind of war for the first time, and they are not professional military strategists.

On the one hand, it doesn't make much sense for them to blow up these facilities, because the enemy is not on the outside, no one will transport troops from the outside, and most of the supplies are also by sea, and grabbing the dock is the advantage, and land transportation is not so important.

As a result, most of the outsiders and death-fearing natives stranded in Gotham ran away overnight with the train at the beginning of the war, and now they are all outright war madmen, even if they deserve to say to their bombed and mutilated corpses, it is not callous and ruthless.

On Harleyn taking Harley to find Poison Ivy, the people sitting in the S.H.I.E.L.D. office see the current situation of the city through her eyes, from the initial swearing and sighing to the silence later, the atmosphere in the room basically hovers between "did I drink too much last night and I should have drunk more last night".

"There was no bombing." Magneto spoke: "Cities that have been bombed by bombers are not like this. ”

Nick, of course, knew that, too, and explained to the younger children: "The shape of the building debris caused by bombs falling from the sky is completely different from that caused by ground explosives, with the same explosive yield, bombers cover a wider area, but ground explosives cause more damage." ”

"If they used bombs, grenades, or bazookas to make the city what it is, how much did they use?"

Stark asked with his hands crossed next to Jarvis, the side of the screen a little confused, his steps paused, but he walked over to the screen, pointed to the top half of a building above, and said, "Look at the burns on the steel bars here, it doesn't look like some kind of known bomb can do." ”

"Can't you either?"

"I haven't studied anything like that." Stark shook his head lightly and said, "I've long since stopped working as an arms dealer, and besides, inventing a bomb that can easily blow up the steel bars of building standards will be condemned by the humanitarianism of the international arena, and Pepper will yell at me for a whole week, 'If you can't work, don't make a mess!! ’。 ”

"But ordinary bombs can blow up buildings, right?" Pietro, sitting cross-legged on the carpet, looked up and asked.

Stark nodded and said, "That's why I wondered, what's the point of developing a bomb just to make the building it destroyed collapse in another way, or even faster?" ”

Soon, Stark and the rest of the room knew what that was all about, and the answer was an arms race.

As we all know, the original source of firepower for the gang was imported from Eastern Europe by Harley Quinn and Hallie, two new arms dealers, but the Gotham people have nothing else, that is, the spirit of self-reliance and self-improvement is very sufficient, and they feel that it is too unreliable to always count on imports, so they plan to produce it themselves.

However, the military production line is different from the ordinary industrial production line, even though Gotham is an important industrial city, but it is more inclined to the chemical industry, and lacks a large part of the production lines and raw materials required for military production.

Harley Quinn and Hallie are really powerful, and they really got some of the inheritances that the losers of the Soviet Union collapsed, but most of them don't make the climate, and it is impossible to get them in.

Faced with scattered machines and workshop parts that didn't even control the assembly, the amazing intelligence and great courage of the Gotham people allowed them to work miracles again, mainly by the latter.

Gotham people always have a kind of mysterious confidence in this kind of thing, that is, although I don't understand the principle, the advantage must be mine, although this thing can't even move, but I can use a screwdriver and a cone to transform them, and I can push the earth away with one foot of the accelerator.

The strange thing is that although 99% of the experimental machines were destroyed and killed, among the tens of millions of people in Gotham, they were able to find a few peerless geniuses like Jason who pried the tires of the Batmobile with his bare hands.

But how could the gotham's rain-infested crazy little heads be content with ordinary munitions? They didn't know much magic or science, but they just thought it was cool to knock the bomb to the point of adding sixteen and then enchanting the firestorm, so they did.

Not all of their surprise gizmos are useful, just like the bomb that Stark found that seemed to have a special scorching effect on metal didn't improve the efficiency of destroying buildings, but Gotham's arms race was meant to be cooler than anyone else.

When a gang starts to get involved in the military industry, the other ninety-nine have to keep up with him, because in Gotham, you can not live, but you can't live without it.

How much land was robbed, how much money was earned, and how many people were under his command were just the items of the early gang competition, and the gang developed into a fashionable value in the end.

You have to admit that the godfather figure of a black suit, black leather shoes, a poppy on his chest, and "I will give you a condition that you can't refuse" has somehow reversed the global perception of the mafia, so that it completely distinguishes them from those street gangsters.

In fact, the mafia is not so beautiful at all, but as long as the fashion value is enough, it is difficult to change the stereotype once it is formed.

Therefore, after getting through the initial period of chaotic warfare and reaching a strange balance, many gangsters have entered the era of volume technology and image, although all this has developed too quickly, but it is not completely without reason.

First of all, the city's two number one warmongers, a former Batman and a former Joker, have a question mark over the phrase "once" after they split into two gangs.

Batman and the Joker are always competing on all fronts, and they quickly get tired of the ordinary routine of you hitting me and me beating you, and enter the realm they are most familiar with—the all-out battle in all the realms known to man, and there is a beauty that does not care about anyone's life or death.

And as mentioned in the laws of Gotham, this ghost place will roll up sooner or later.

"What's that?"

Stark in front of the screen keenly captured a floating thing on the skyline, so Wanda asked Harley in her heart, but Hallie had just returned and couldn't figure out the current situation, so she opened her mouth to ask Harley Harleyn.

Harley Quinn put her hand over her eyes and said, "Oh, that's the base of the famous Neville family." ”

"Why fly in the sky?"

"I guess I don't think it's safe on the ground."

"I mean, how did it fly in the sky?!" Wanda repeated it in Hallie's mind, and this time Harley didn't ask Harley Harleyball, but instead asked with some confusion, "What flies in the sky?" If you leave the ground, you will naturally fly in the sky. ”

"Ask her about the anti-gravity system." Stark spoke.

"Is this air fortress using an anti-gravity system? Is this a special technology developed in your universe? Wanda glanced at Stark, presumably asking him if she had a problem asking.

Stark knew the origin of Batman, and he also knew that this might be the universe where Batman was located, but when dealing with Batman, Stark knew that the technological level of the civilian domain of the universe he was in was lagging behind this universe, almost the level of this universe a few years ago, that is, when there was no air transportation system and no solar system development plan.

And what's going on with this flying fortress that the gangster family took out? It can't be that they became enlightened overnight, right?

"I don't know about this, but I know someone from the gangster family, why don't I call you and ask?"

Hallie endured her headache and said, she felt that the voice in her head was quite compatible with her, maybe one day she would go to this universe again, and the other party would be able to help, so she was also happy to do the other party a favor.

Hallie asked Harley Quinn to borrow her phone, pressed a few numbers on it, picked it up and asked, "Hey, are you Jason?" Uh, are you the tuba one or the trumpet one? I can't hear you very clearly......"

"Oh, I see, you're not the one in my universe, yes, I'm Hallie, and I called mainly to ask you guys about the one, uh, the air base, what's going on?"

"What? Are there too many demons and monsters on the ground? What happened during the time I was away...... Well, yes, there's a friend who wants me to ask some technical questions, anti-gravity systems or something. ”

"Oh, it's the Batfighter system, right? Well, you've done some transformations, Tim's design drawings, I didn't expect him to have this kind of ability, yes, yes, I know you did it, you're good, right? ”

Stark stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Wanda's eyes, and said in a low voice, "Ask her how the material problem was solved, especially the metal aspect." ”

Wanda closed her eyes and began to ask questions intently, and after a while, she opened her eyes with some confusion.

"He said they were using the metal from Gotham architecture."
