Chapter 32: The Thief Who Went Astray
The test aircraft of the "Tianma Project" was transformed from a "Wolf Tooth" III supersonic fighter.
Compared with the "Hawk" series of the American military and the "MiG" fighters of the Soviet Union, the Howlett Group's series of fighters and shuttles have a huge performance gap with the equipment and weapons of the ordinary human world by virtue of their unique innate superiority in energy and casting materials.
More than 20 meters long, the blue-black flat long shuttle structure resembles a short-winged F-117 stealth fighter, the fuselage is near the tail, and the cylindrical engine is slightly raised.
Unlike ordinary Rubik's Cube energy vehicles, which are simply ice-blue energy flame streams, the end of the impact column of the "Lightspeed Engine" reflects a rainbow of brilliant light bands.
As the ignition of the testing machine started, the engine instantly erupted a series of colorful bands of light, and it soared into the sky without much sound.
The pilot, Carol Danfoss, circled several times at Mach 2 speed of a conventional supersonic fighter jet, and whizzed over California, steadily increasing his speed, as if "warming up" the engine.
Even though Carroll had piloted the supersonic aircraft of the Howlett Group many times in the past two months, she was still uncontrollably obsessed with such a "silky" sense of acceleration.
In particular, the emergence of "anti-gravity overload" technology has allowed pilots to greatly break their physical and mental limitations, and further increase the speed of fighters to a level close to theoretical research.
Whew...
"Report to the command base that the preliminary test of Mach 2 to Mach 5 of the 'Tianma' stratosphere has been completed, and whether to carry out the next test plan."
“... Captain Danfoss, please proceed with the low-Earth orbit orbit test. ”
.........
Howard Stark, the ground command of the "Pegasus Project" at Edward Air Force Base, looked at the flight trajectory and data of the fighter on the detector, and quietly gave orders to the pilot, Carol Danvers.
The real test of the "lightspeed engine" will be carried out in the middle and warm layers of the atmosphere, completely avoiding the airspace of ordinary civilian and military aircraft, and increasing the speed to the extreme, and then flying at a rapid speed around the Earth's orbit as the main means of testing.
As Carol pulled up the joystick, the Pegasus tester raised its head and flew straight into the deep blue and black space.
.........
In the dead silence of extraterrestrial space, the Kree Empire cruiser is like a giant octahedral metal building block, floating in near-Earth space very close to Earth's orbiting satellites.
Kree Star Troop Commander Yong Rog was dressed in a black and green combat uniform with a texture that looked like leather armor all over his body, sitting in his command chair and watching the cruiser's detection system silent, a pair of amber eyes pondering something.
"Captain Mar Will not only completed the undercover mission, but actually made the 'Lightspeed Engine', which is really unbelievable......
A member of the star-troop with dark blue skin couldn't help but blurt out as he looked out of the cruiser's floor-to-ceiling hanging window, where a band of light from the blue planet flew through the planet's orbit at a speed visible to the naked eye, and disappeared around the other side.
Grabbing the short black hair with thin curls, and quickly scribbling on the spacecraft console, a planetary model formed by a mitogranate light curtain and a motion simulation diagram of the "Pegasus" tester circling around the space appeared, which was even more accurate than the model of the research base on Earth.
"Hmm... Based on the volume of the C-53 star, the speed of this aircraft has exceeded 50 times the speed of sound, and it is still steadily climbing, captain, their test ambitions are very high, the potential behind this technology is terrifying, are we intervening? ”
"Shhhh Without the energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, even if this group of natives retains the prototype of the 'Lightspeed Engine' and related technology, they will be a lump of scrap metal in their hands, and they will not be able to drive it at all. ”
Yong Rog rubbed his beardless chin, looked back at the other bearded, blue-skinned team member who was making a noise, and mused for a moment before starting to set up something on the ship's console.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
He finally struck two times neatly, and the light curtain models of the three small ships appeared, and he stood up and said loudly:
"Captain Mar Weir communicated with me about the C-53 before the start of today's operation, the Cosmic Cube is a port for the release of dark energy, and after decades of research, they have gained a considerable degree of understanding of this energy source that only advanced interstellar civilizations will set foot in..."
In the command cabin of the Kree Imperial cruiser, in addition to the commander Yong Rogge, there were three blue-skinned and two light-skinned Kree members, and everyone paused to refresh and listened to the commander continue:
“... And with intelligence research, although this planet has a low level of technology, but the individual extraordinary force is quite good, since we want to snatch things from them, we must eliminate the enemy's possible threat to the Kree Empire! ”
Swish!
Yong Rogge tapped the bright star mark on his chest, and a half-covered helmet extended from the neck of the combat uniform to his head, and even the combat uniform that looked almost leather was instantly "hard plasticized", and the shoulders, chest, and joints of the limbs were transformed into a stomach.
"Broncha, Atlas, come with me to intercept this test prototype of the Lightspeed Engine, and carry out a covering strike on its ground research base, covering Captain Mar Weir while completely extinguishing the seeds of this technology!"
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
Three small Creeping Empire Radiance planes catapulted from underneath the cruiser, and Yong Rogge piloted the planes to chase Captain Carol Danvers' test plane alone, while the other two rushed to the location of Edward Air Force Base in the United States.
At the same time as Kerry's interstellar combat operation, Dr. Wendy Lawson, who missed the first test flight due to "family changes", wore a long maroon trench coat and walked alone into the underground research base of the "Pegasus Project".
The black boots with short heels beat a steady rhythm, echoing in the empty corridor, and Lawson's lowered head seemed to keep looking at his toes, and finally slowly stopped.
"Dr. Lawson, is the trial over?"
Outside the core research room of the base, two escort soldiers sent by the Howlett Group were guarding the alloy gate with their arms crossed, they looked at Lawson and there were no other researchers behind him, and asked with a little confusion.
With a frown of silver eyebrows, Mar Weir immediately thought that the two guards should not know their excuse for not participating in the first test flight, and thought that he had saved some tongues, and smiled softly:
"There are some data missing, I'll come and get it, thank you."
The two Winter Wolf warriors were speechless, but looked Dr. Lawson up and down impolitely, and after a while, they looked at each other for a while, and looked strange and stepped back half a step to make way of the passage.
Mar Weir smiled shyly, striding into the research room with one hand in his pocket and a silver-white metal suitcase in the other, but the two pairs of sharp eyes behind her never left her back.
In this way, he walked generously to the sealed box where the Cosmic Rubik's Cube was placed, Mar Weir skillfully entered the unlock code, turned his back to the two guards who slowly walked behind him, did not stop the movements in his hands, still looked kind and intellectual, and said calmly:
"You guys are staring at me like this, it makes me feel very undignified..."
Seeing Dr. Lawson take off the Rubik's Cube and put it in his suitcase, the two burly winter wolf warriors even twisted their necks a little excitedly, shook their bodies and burst into a series of muffled sounds.
One of the older Winter Wolf warriors shook his head slightly, stared at Lawson's raised eyes, and said coldly:
"I haven't seen you for a few days, Dr. Lawson is just a well-maintained middle-aged woman, and her abrupt change in aura and physique far surpasses that of ordinary humans. If that's what you were paid for stealing this item, you're at a loss."
Mar Weir calmly looked at the two guards in front of her, who were at least half a head taller than herself, she knew that these people came from, they were more powerful warriors than the super soldiers of the American military.
I saw another younger, short-headed guard raise his chin and change his previous indifference and say:
"Whatever your purpose, and where you got the confidence, have you ever thought about the consequences of taking Mr. Howlett's things!"
The temperature in the underground core research room rose strangely, and the two winter wolf warriors were like two blazing furnaces, the air around them was twisted by the surging qi and blood, and the fierce four-eyed boy stared at Mar Weir for a moment.
"I'm just myself, you don't know... I was born and raised on a high-gravity planet, which is many times stronger than the average human on Earth, the Cree, well... Probably a little stronger than the super-soldiers modified by the serum, as for Mr. Howlett..."
Mar Weir's classic Burberry trench coat was slowly burned into powder by some kind of "flame" from the inside out, leaving not even a trace of fragments.
It is made of the same material as Yong Rogge's style, but the combat uniform in red and black is covered by a surging halo, which perfectly fits Mar Weir's athletic and upright figure.
She raised her empty right hand, and the brilliant golden bracer on her wrist seemed to be made of pure light, emitting a dazzling golden light without flickering.
“... I've always heard that Mr. Howlett is powerful, but he didn't have time to get here! ”
Rumble!
Mar Weir's clenched right fist was like the barrel of an energy gun, and the thickness of her arm flashed with an arc of energy blast beams that blasted away the young warrior with a short head.
Only the vibranium armor at the core of his combat suit on his chest was intact, helping him block the deadly penetrating damage, only to crash into the alloy walls of the research room like a truck.
His back crackled a few times, and he got up with a sly smile and continued to pounce.
Almost as soon as Mar Weir struck, the older winter wolf guard couldn't think about the astonishing information revealed in the strange Dr. Lawson's words, and slammed two punches into her cheek.
The fist that can easily pierce through four or five centimeters thick steel plate turned out to be just a slight tilt of the head of the woman, and her sudden appearance of raising her eyebrows lightly didn't seem to leave even a little pain.
A half-covered helmet with only lips and chin and short hair standing on her head, Mar Weir's short hair dyed blonde by the light danced violently, and she did not fight or have a heartache to kill her.
Two feet kicked away the two of them like lightning, looked up at the ceiling of the underground research room made of alloy and cement, squatted up and jumped straight up, and successively pierced through the three-story building to a height of dozens of meters above the air base and slowly floated.
As the alarm rang off at the base, Mar Weir took one last deep look at the place where she had been working for several years, her expression well covered by her helmet, and the "negative quantum rings" on her wrists shot out again, like a golden flame of light rushing towards the endless sky.
Outer space.
On the cruiser of the Kree Empire, a blue-skinned female team member with a beautiful face looked at the light and shadow on the ship's monitor, and reported to Commander Yong Rogge:
“... Signs of Captain Mar Will's energy have been spotted, rapidly approaching the direction of extraterrestrial space. ”
Whew...
"Very good, it seems that there is no need to wait for Atlas and the others to restrain them, and all actions continue..."
Yong Rogge waited for Carol Danvers to pass through orbit analysis, and just as he was satisfied with the completion of the entire mission, the intercom remembered the female voice just now, but the words were much more panicked.
“... Report, report to the commander, Captain Mar Weir's energy signal has suddenly disappeared! Just as I was about to leave the atmosphere of C-53, no, without the slightest warning..."
.........
Standing with her legs side by side, Mar Weir, who was holding her fist high, carried the box containing the Cosmic Cube through the dark clouds and lightning, and the blue sky turned into a dark and gloomy dome, she knew that everything was decided, and she took the Rubik's Cube back and forth and flew into the extraterrestrial space for only a few minutes, and the extraordinary power of this planet could not catch up with it.
When she returns to the Kerry cruiser, with the curvature engine technology leaping and propelled by an infinite distance of 160,000 light years, humanity will be completely disconnected from this mysterious cosmic Rubik's Cube.
Airplanes!
The box in his hand trembled slightly, and the space above Mar Weir's head suddenly cracked, instantly spreading into a huge oval-shaped portal with flashing black and red edges.
The speed of Mach Count's flight made her unable to react at all, and she rushed in, and before she could turn around, the space portal shrank into a point and disappeared.
She subconsciously looked around, and at the other end of the portal was a not-so-tall cliff, with a towering castle and a continuous mountain town underneath.
There were two strange young men standing on the edge of the cliff, one was tall and handsome, with black hair draped, and looked at him with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth,
The other blonde lad was naked, with blood dripping from his back, and two huge wings scattered on the ground, which by no means belonged to any bird on earth.
"Shhhh Ahem, Mr. Howlett, this is... You're here to help me train? ”
Warren Worthington was stunned for a long time, and said stupidly, but Mar Weir, who was slowly floating in the air, shrank as a child, and she heard the name that she shouldn't have met.
James Howlett slapped his palms up and down as if dusting off his hands, and then put his hands behind his back, muttering softly as if he were talking to himself.
"Hmm... Asa Zuo is still a little bit of a small thing, I didn't believe that the space target he left behind can really have an effect... Little Warren, this wasn't for you, hehe, isn't it funny to say..."
“... The thief, who was in a panic, actually crashed headlong into the muzzle of the owner's gun. ”
