The founding of the "Liberal Party" in 1840 officially raised the curtain on the confrontation between the two different economic systems of the North and the South in the United States. In 1854, two years earlier, the founding of the Republican Party, whose purpose was to oppose slavery, was like a fire thrown into the firewood, and a raging fire was ignited on the land of North America.

President Buchanan, a Democrat who took office this year, submitted to the Supreme Court a "Scott" proposal for a nationwide implementation of slavery on behalf of the entire slave-owning class. The land of America was pregnant with a storm of rebellion and reform, and at this moment, James Howlett was busy with the expansion of the manor's foundations and cellars while keeping an eye on the turbulence of the neighboring United States.

"Considering the unstable situation and the fact that much of the family's wealth is not safe enough to store it, it is safe to expand the cellar and convert it into a large basement, and I am also going to build a few more tunnels to connect the manor with the horse farm, the warehouse, and so on. Prepare two hidden routes to prevent future ......"

"Don't tell me this, do whatever you want! This home is now your business. ”

Mr. Howlett wore a wolfskin blanket on his lap and sat in a rocking chair basking in the sun on the balcony, while his grandson peeled apples and reported on the recent affairs of the family. The old man squinted his eyes and swayed to interrupt James, who kept talking, and the folds on his face were all comfortable.

"Okay, then I'll continue to arrange it like this, there have been so many projects in the manor recently, do you want to go to the cotton garden in the east to rest for a while, I'm afraid of disturbing my grandfather's rest." James pinched the peeled apple, divided it into eight cloves and placed it on the plate, and took one and brought it to Mr. Howlett's mouth.

"No, no." Mr. Howlett chewed and said, "If I don't make such a trip now, I will die outside, so it's good to stay like this, and watch the manor come and go every day, and I can relieve my boredom if I am busy." ”

Mr. Howlett swallowed the contents of his mouth a little, looked at James and said, "You don't need me to watch you do things now, Danielle also said when he left, you are a very assertive child, and you read a lot." I can only help you with those old guys, and there is no other use. ”

Mr. Howlett laughed playfully and said loudly: "It's time for you to find a woman, our family has always been unpopular, and you can't do this anymore!" What kind of family is an old immortal and a little guy! Don't care about any wives and lovers, just find a few more who can have children! I don't think your little maid has grown up, so I'll ...... her first."

Mr. Howlett's old words were interrupted by James with a wry smile, and while promising his grandfather that he would think about it as soon as possible, he shirked the matter and fled the room amid Mr. Howlett's scolding. Grandfather's words struck at James' worries for nearly a year.

If he hadn't awakened, even if he was an ordinary person with a strange illness, it would be common for him to get married and have children. But knowing what kind of world he was in, and the "immortal" who lived from the mid-19th century to the 21st century, James's heart was full of entanglements.

The life of a mortal will be far away from him, and he does not know how to face the birth, old age, sickness and death of his lover, how to face his children, and may one day look at his father who is still young with gray hair.

Immortality is a mythical pursuit throughout the ages, and it is also a curse that haunts the downfall......

It was the first time Herbert Fernon had received such a strange project, a Frenchman whose ancestors were high officials in the French army at a time when Britain and France were vying for ownership of the colony. After the defeat, the Fegnon family did not return to France, but started a business on the land.

Since this family used to be mainly responsible for fortification construction and logistics maintenance in the army, the Fei farmer family continued to do their old job. Decades later, there was no bigger builder in Canada than Herbert Fenon, and generations of commercial cultivation were much more nourishing than continuing to mingle with the military.

"Mr. Howlett, are you sure you want to follow this plan? In terms of technology and ability, you can rest assured that there will be absolutely no problems! It's just that it's really unnecessary to build so deep, and the cost of time and engineering is too great. Mr. Fernon shook his three-tiered chin and discussed the drawings with James.

Now James has been called "Mr. Howlett" by outsiders. It's just that in private, people will use little Howlet, which is different from old Howlet.

"I'm sure, Mr. Fenon. Everything is according to this requirement, do not consider the cost, and do your best to complete it. And most importantly, don't forget, sturdy. James instructed firmly, and after Mr. Fernon slowly said goodbye by twisting his buttocks that were crowded with circle chairs, James asked the butler to invite the person in charge of the instrument processing factory in.

Recently, James has been thinking for a long time, and gradually laid out a plan to start implementing it. On the one hand, the construction of the family's manor, as his "lair" and a place to cultivate for a long time in the future, James needed an extremely wide and deep underground hidden space.

In order to be able to cope with the problems that may be encountered decades or even centuries later, James designed this place, called a basement or cellar, to the scale of an underground palace. It can be accessed from under the foundation of the manor to the underground space, and the depth of the main space can reach 30 meters, which has reached the depth of the subway in the previous life.

And in order not to affect the addition of more functions in the future, transformation. In addition to the requirement to be excessively strong enough to withstand a magnitude 7 earthquake, the entire underground works are designed to be a basic frame type that will not affect the necessary retrofits in the future because of the established design.

If it weren't for the fact that this era had no idea what missiles and nuclear weapons were, James would have wanted to build this "underground palace" into a safe house against nuclear explosions.

On the other hand, he practiced boxing, and his excessive physical fitness and potential forced him to tailor a set of "torture tools" for himself.

Five giant hollow lead balls, ranging from 500 kilograms to 3,000 kilograms, are filled with unequal amounts of mercury. Armor-style weight-bearing armor from the calves and thighs to the chest and back, and the arms. It not only ensures the freedom of movement, but also can be equipped with lead blocks, and the maximum load can reach 300 kilograms.

A series of strength and physical training equipment from previous lives, all of which are extremely heavy, the most special being a steel solid roller "cylinder". With a diameter of two meters and a height of four meters, there were seven or eight iron rods as thick as calves more than half a meter long, which extended out like the spikes of maces, and the entire giant iron pillar was also covered with circular protrusions the size of fists. The rollers can be propelled and rotated by protruding iron rods, but to propel this behemoth, it takes at least more than three tons of kinetic energy to do so.

At the same time, James has arranged for people to go to major cities in the northern United States to understand the current situation and gather information. In this era, the owner of the manor with a vast land was synonymous with the mighty and powerful, and with the rapid development of industry, the creation and production of factories and large machinery, the electrical revolution, and even the Internet revolution.

Always foolishly guarding the land and not thinking about change, sooner or later it will become a crop that can only be used for farming. More importantly, the most acute problem in the future social contradictions of this world will be the opposition between James Howlett's race and all ordinary human beings.

He had to be prepared.

With the American Civil War looming, it was inevitable that we would settle in this future most troubled and powerful land.

The owner of the equipment factory named Tom has been supplying the steam train and the sea-going giant ship with accessories and equipment. He had never seen such strange drawings and designs, and instinctively wanted to refuse Mr. Howlett Jr.'s business, but the temptation of the young man's nearly three-fold profit made him intend to go back and try.

Although he couldn't understand the use of these things, which looked like medieval armor or torture instruments, they couldn't be separated from money, and James promised to bear all the costs of casting molds, testing, and manufacturing.

Mr. Howlett said that it was up to James to decide everything, but if the old man saw his grandson doing such ridiculous things with all his savings, he would be angry.

James settled everything and went back to his room, figuring out a black notebook from under his desk. Watching carefully, he paused for a moment to think about what was written inside.

This is all the memories he has recorded about the Marvel world since the day he realized what kind of world he was in. Most of them are fragmented words, time, and some of the events that have happened. For the sake of secrecy, he wrote in the Chinese language, which was little known in this era. At least for a hundred years, even if someone sees it, they won't recognize what language it is.

He circled a word twice and said to himself, "What the future holds, it's all up to you to find it......
