National Weather Service, Earth Observation Satellite Division.

It was close to five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was another quiet afternoon, and Skye, who was in charge of the observation records, sat boredly in his chair, playing with coins, and stared at the clock on the table, and in ten minutes or so, he would be able to leave work on time, and sit on the sofa drinking beer and watching the ball game.

"Skye, you're in a good mood."

A colleague on the side joked, "You have an affair tonight?" ”

"Come on, Skye only cares about the game, those beauties may not be as attractive as a goal, if Skye gets an erection, it must be for the game, not the woman."

Another colleague quipped.

"While I go, I watch the game while playing cannons."

Skye smiled.

Beep beep beep !!

Suddenly, the headphones placed on the table sounded an alarm, and Skye hurriedly put the headphones on, "What happened, I don't remember someone landing on the moon recently." ”

"Hey, what's going on?"

He shouted to his colleague in front of him who was in charge of observation.

"In the area of 60°54′50" north latitude and 60°54′50" south latitude, an abrupt and strange island was discovered. Based on previous long-term observations, there were no signs of islands in this area before. The appearance of this island is like a mysterious island that suddenly appears in the calm ocean, without any warning. As a professional weather observer, I know this area inside and out, and I can safely say that before the islands appeared, the area was completely empty! ”

After the colleague finished speaking, two satellite images were also released on the big screen, one was the old image from before, and the other was the satellite that he saw now.

It can be clearly seen above that an island visible to the naked eye is in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

For a while, the observation room was full of shock and confusion, and dozens of people all looked at the big screen, knowing that the appearance of the island violated the conventional landform of the sea and broke their previous understanding of the geographical situation of this area.

This meant that their knowledge of the sea was uncertain, and it was impossible for a large area to appear out of thin air, not to mention that it was the center of the Atlantic Ocean, and before that, no anomalies had been detected or even signs of islands forming.

"Was this island created by God temporarily?"

Skye felt incredible, his eyes lit up with curiosity, and at the same time he felt lost, and now it seemed that his plans to watch the game tonight were in vain.

The appearance of an unfamiliar island means that everyone will face a major task. They need to collect more data to assess the island's size, location, height, geological formations and other characteristics, as well as its potential impact on the surrounding seas.

The most important thing is to figure out how the island came to be.

Because, they noticed, the island photographed by the satellite was not a pile of reefs or some kind of mountain of algae rocks.

Rather, it has a dense forest and a lake, which means that this island has a complete ecosystem out of thin air, which is even more incredible.

"Maybe it's the land under the sea, and now it's floating up."

"That sounds more convincing than God's creation."

"I've heard that there are often groups of people in the Atlantic, and some people think it may be a race that lives at the bottom of the sea."

"Alright, stop talking, it's time to get to work."

The appearance of a strange island in the Atlantic Ocean, this news was reported as soon as possible.

At first, they thought it was a land that was hidden in the sea, but after the sea level dropped, it was revealed, but after measuring the sea level, there was no movement.

As the observing authorities delved deeper, they quickly learned an even more shocking piece of information through the satellite system.

That strange island is not sunk in the sea.

Based on the altitude of the terrain taken by satellites, it was found that the island was most likely suspended in the air, as it appeared to be not on the same horizon as the Atlantic Ocean.

In other words, this is a floating island that seriously violates the gravitational pull of the earth and the laws of nature!

Floating Island!

"Floating Island, are you sure those guys from the Bureau of Meteorology are not joking with us? It sounds a bit like Asgard in Norse mythology. ”

In the S.H.I.E.L.D. office, Nick Fury took the document handed by Hill, and after carefully reviewing it, his brows furrowed, "What a floating island?" ”

"They haven't sent personnel to explore it yet, but after repeated observations, it is certain that the island is very likely to be suspended in the air."

Agent Hill nodded.

"What do we need to do about this?"

Nick Fury asked, putting down the papers.

"The people from the Meteorological Bureau believe that the floating island is a paranormal phenomenon, and they hope that S.H.I.E.L.D. can support and send a team to protect the safety of the scientific research team."

Agent Hill pulled out another document and read it: "Based on the observations, it is now possible to determine that there is a complete ecological chain on the island, and that there may be some unknown organisms, because until then, the island did not belong to the Atlantic Ocean. ”

"Wait a minute."

Nick Fury raised his hand to interrupt and said, "The people at the Bureau of Meteorology should be clear that we are now focused on the mutant incident, Charles and his gang are still at large outside, and General Ross's sacrifice has not been rewarded, I'm afraid not too many people are willing to go." ”

"I understand your feelings."

Agent Hill understands that what his own director said is not just because of manpower problems, but also because too many people were fired during the previous cleanup of Hydra, resulting in a shortage of internal personnel.

Part of the reason is that the floating island is currently under the responsibility of the American Weather Service and the International Meteorological Organization, and S.H.I.E.L.D. will not be able to reap much benefit from it.

She didn't say it, but persuaded: "However, there may be some rare materials on that floating island, and if we can figure out the principle of its floating, it will be of great help and improvement to our future aviation field." ”

"You've convinced me to show the files to the Avengers, they might be able to help."

"Yes."

In the Avengers headquarters base on the outskirts of New York, except for the training ground and laboratories, most of the area was cold, and there were not a few guards in sight of the huge base.

"Good job, you can try to lift heavier things."

Inside the training ground, Steve is guiding Wanda, using the scarlet light to lift up a huge container and throw it out with all his might.

Boom!

Under the huge impact, the container shatters the wall that has been placed in advance.

"Whew"

Wanda's face flushed during training, gasping for breath, her chest heaving, she eased up for a moment and asked, "Do you have any news of Rojo?" ”

"I know you care about him, but unfortunately not yet, he. It's hidden, but don't worry, there's some misunderstanding. ”

Steve Rogers also looked a little gloomy when he talked about Rojo, avoiding Wanda's gaze, and during this time, Wanda would come from time to time to ask for news about Rojo.

He can only say that there is no news, there is really no news, and Rojo seems to have evaporated from the world.

"Okay. If you find him, please let me go and I will persuade him to come back. ”

Wanda sighed in frustration, she didn't understand that less than half a month had passed, everything had changed, and the original harmonious atmosphere was broken in an instant.

Friends become enemies.

Now the entire Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. are preparing to capture Rojo.

Of course, Wanda didn't see Rojo as an enemy, and she still wanted to get everything back to the way it was.

"Wanda, everyone has their own ambitions, I understand Rojo."

Steve patted her on the back as a gesture of comfort.

At this time, Sam the Falcon ran in from outside the door, tablet in hand, "Two, it's a document from Agent Hill." ”

"Floating Island?"

Steve took it and looked at it, "This is a new mission?" ”

"New mission?"

Sam didn't finish reading it just now, but now after reading it, he was a little displeased: "I thought the focus was on mutants now." ”

"The task of investigating mutants is the responsibility of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Steve read it carefully, "I'm a little interested, the floating island looks kind of interesting, and it's just responsible for escorting those research teams." ”

"You agree to participate in this mission?"

Sam asked, "What about Tony?" ”

"I want to be a part too."

Wanda leaned over and said, "I haven't been involved in any of the missions until now. ”

"I'll ask Tony first, and he'll agree, so there's no problem."

Steve grabbed the tablet and went to the lab, where Tony and Banner were surrounding the psychic scepter, to be exact. It can no longer be called a scepter of the heart.

The scepter had been disassembled, and a hedron was suspended in mid-air, connected by tiny lines, and the instruments next to it were constantly calculating the values.

"You're going to build a robot?"

When Sam enters, he notices a jar in the middle of the lab containing a set of mechanical skeletons.

"No, you'll know the answer in a little while."

Tony waved his hand.

"Now we have a little problem"

Dr. Banner pondered as he noticed the tablet in Steve's hand, "What's that?" ”

"New mission."

"A floating island, it's incredible."

Banner took the tablet, and after reading it carefully, the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed, his heartbeat accelerated instantly, and an inexplicable excitement surged into his heart. As a scholar, he is well aware that all phenomena in nature should follow the laws of physics, and there is no doubt that the Floating Island is a blatant provocation to the laws of physics.

But such a provocation does not make him angry, on the contrary, he only gets excited.

"Can you take me with you?"

For the first time, Banner felt that being an Avenger had such a big advantage, and now the officials of various countries obviously did not disclose the matter of the floating island to the outside world.

He can be one of the first to land on the island.

Faced with such an opportunity, and the attraction of the floating island, Tony and Banner put aside their research on the Psychic Scepter for the time being, and planned to go to the floating island together first, perhaps finding something on it that would help the project.

Sam and Thor Odinson remain at the base, the former is a housekeeper, while the latter has no interest in floating islands, and he thinks that the Midgards have no knowledge and will go crazy for an island.

In the glimmer of the morning light, the two boats quietly sailed away from the shore, drawing an elegant arc on the surface of the sea. The sea breeze blows gently, with a salty and damp smell and a sense of mystery unknown in the distance, leaving a faint ripple, and the sunlight is refracted on the water, shimmering with golden light.

On the boat, seagulls circled, swooping down from time to time, skimming the sparkling sea. At the end of the boat, the white waves roll gently.

"I thought I would fly a Kun fighter."

Tony sat in the boat, looking out to sea.

"It's an air-sea boat."

Agent Hill said a word, and motioned for his men to speed up, compared to ordinary boats, the speed of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research and development is obviously several times faster, if it weren't for sitting in the cabin, the oncoming sea breeze and splashing sea water would be like a sharp blade cutting through the face.

The sea water crackled against the windows!

"The Met Office only discovered the island yesterday afternoon?"

Steve asked.

"Hmm."

Hill nodded, and explained to the Avengers the situation on the island by the way, and in the other ship, there were experts from Europe and the United States, many of whom were geology experts.

"I thought Tony was going to be on that boat, but he's with us."

The taciturn Barton came with a teasing.

"Barton, so you're not dumb."

Tony Stark craned his neck, stood up and looked out the window at the sea, and said, "It's not there yet, it's been more than an hour." ”

"It's strange, the satellite marks that the island is in front of you, why is there nothing."

Agent Hill was also surprised, looking at the sky above the sea level, with only blue skies and white clouds, and sparkling waters.

To know.

The outline of an island or continent can be seen even from a great distance on the vast expanse of the sea, because there are usually no obstacles on the sea, let alone the Atlantic Ocean.

Now, however, they don't see the location of the floating island when they are about to reach it.

"It's flying too high?"

Banner asked.

"No, observations show that the floating island is at most a few tens of meters above the sea surface."

Agent Hill shook his head.

Didi !!

Suddenly, the communicator sounded, and the voice of the satellite observation department came from inside, "Guys, let me tell you the news, that floating island is moving, yes, you heard it right, it is moving towards the Indian Ocean at a speed visible to the naked eye!" ”

"What?"

Tony pressed the communicator and asked, "Please send me the satellite image!" ”

Soon, they saw a real-time satellite image of the Atlantic Ocean from the Satellite Observation Department, and everyone's eyes were drawn to it. In satellite imagery, the red dot, which symbolizes the floating island, is moving towards the Indian Ocean at a speed visible to the naked eye.

You can't go wrong with satellite imagery, but the sight in front of you makes it impossible for anyone to believe their eyes.

"Damn. It's still a floating island that can run! ”

"It's alive, so where does it want to go?"

Beyond the Indian Ocean, there is the Pacific Ocean, and then the Americas!
