0155: Is this going to fly to the United States?
The red dot on the screen, which symbolizes the floating island, is visibly moving and will soon cross the Indian Ocean and enter the Pacific Ocean, while the red dot perfectly avoids the territorial sea and flies over the high seas.
"How is this done, it's faster than the world's largest transport plane, it's magic?"
Dr. Banner pushed his glasses, feeling incredulous, according to the current flight speed of the floating island, it has exceeded 850 kilometers per hour, and the world's most powerful transport aircraft is only 850 kilometers, but to be clear, 850 is the limit, generally speaking, the transport machine will consider the fuel and engine, and other factors, the speed will be reduced to about 58%, simply put, the transport aircraft can not withstand a long period of high-speed flight.
Now, judging from the flight of the floating island, it not only does not mean to slow down, but has a tendency to gradually accelerate. The volume of the floating island is not comparable to that of the transport function, and the current observed values are roughly judged to be 5 square kilometers at least, which is equivalent to a Midway Island.
With such a huge volume, it can still fly at top speed.
Dr. Banner watched as he lifted up the slippery frames of his glasses.
"I remember, your Helicarrier flies at about the same speed as an ordinary airliner."
Tony Stark looked at Agent Hill next to him, remembering the previous amazing work of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Helicarrier, the world's first mothership that could soar in the sky, but unfortunately it was seriously damaged later and is still returning for repairs.
However, the size of the Helicarrier is about the same as that of a conventional aircraft carrier on the sea.
This makes the scalp feel even more numb.
"Hmm."
Agent Hill nodded.
"It's a moving asteroid."
Steve Rogers frowned and asked, "How much do you know about this floating island now?" ”
"No one has ever entered the floating island, so I was going to go there for the first time."
Agent Hill shook his head, this exploration is the first time, the original plan was to use drones to reconnoiter after arriving at the floating island, and then arrange personnel to enter, but he didn't expect that before the people arrived, the floating island ran first.
"I have a bad feeling that if this floating island flies to the mainland, it may cause unnecessary trouble on land."
Steve voiced his concerns.
Dr. Banner nodded, "Rogers is right, we can't determine the flight path of the Floating Island right now, if it flies randomly, then it may fly towards the mainland, and its flight altitude is not high enough, it will most likely cause it to hit mountains or tall buildings. ”
"I guess maybe it's not random flying. You see, it perfectly avoided the territorial waters and chose to fly on the high seas, which doesn't look like a natural phenomenon."
Tony Stark drew a picture on the screen, and the flight path of the red dot was along the boundary of the territorial waters, and a little further than that, the waters of other countries.
"What do you mean, someone is operating this island?"
Agent Hill immediately understood, his brows furrowed, and a solemnity appeared on his cold face, "Who could that be?" ”
"Could it be Thor's brother, I remember Loki was a magician."
Steve immediately thought of Loki, after all, when he was in New York, Loki single-handedly caused the Zetarians to invade the war.
"Go back to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters first, and you can ask Thor about it."
Hill believes that the escalation of the situation on the floating island may no longer be an ordinary supernatural event, and may evolve into an incident like Loki's, so he should report to his superiors and return to the base to discuss countermeasures.
As a result, the original exploration plan was lost, the ship returned, and the scientific research team was sent back, and Agent Hill reported the situation online.
"The floating island flew away?"
In the corridor, Nick Fury frowned solemnly after listening to the report, "Damn. Now the mutant thing is enough to give us a headache, and there is another floating island! ”
"Thor said it wasn't the Asgardians, Loki is still in the Asgardian prison and hasn't gone anywhere, and I think it really has nothing to do with him."
In the communicator, Hill told the Avengers what they were asking about.
"It doesn't look like something Loki can do either."
Nick Fury's face darkened when he heard Loki, this guy had hurt them badly, but he was sure that this guy didn't have the ability to create a huge floating island out of thin air.
If he had this strength, there would be no need for Loki to be clever.
But.
This means that if the floating islands are truly controlled by man, then they will have to face a new enemy, the last thing the unknown enemy wants to face right now.
They haven't even solved the mutant problem yet, and another floating island has emerged, but S.H.I.E.L.D. can't ignore it, because the floating island may become a global problem, and that's what S.H.I.E.L.D. should do.
Nick Fury asked again, "What does the Met Bureau say?" ”
"They have not found any other conditions at the moment, the floating island is just moving, no other activities are being carried out, they are still making observations, and if they find problems, they will be notified as soon as possible."
"You go back first."
After Nick Fury finished speaking, he hung up the phone and called another person, and after a ring, he said: "Coulson, there is a floating island that is now moving in the direction of the Pacific Ocean, you send the Air Force Mobile Team to investigate, if there is a situation, report it in time, and you will receive a relevant document later." ”
After the arrangement, Nick Fury leaned against the wall of the corridor tiredly, the door next to him opened, and a figure walked out and asked, "What are you going to let me do this time?" ”
"Don't be like this, I don't want to look in the mirror."
Nick glanced at the man, raised his eyebrows in displeasure, then took out the photo from his bag, and a paper file, and handed it to him, "The tasks are all written in it, after reading it, you will understand what to do." ”
"Hmm."
The man across from him looked up, he was dark-skinned, bald, and wearing a one-eyer, a face identical to that of Nick Fury.
Today is destined to be unpeaceful.
To be precise, the floating island has been destined to be unquiet since it appeared yesterday afternoon, and now, this floating island is traveling through the Indian Ocean at an extremely strange flight speed.
And it entered the waters of the Pacific Ocean, during which it passed through the territorial waters of several coastal states without any pause, in less than a few hours.
Huge in size, flying faster than any airliner, as the floating island flew farther and farther, it was gradually photographed by some unofficial ships, this behemoth in the sky, to the people who witnessed it, because such a scene is completely beyond the scope of cognition, but this sense of unknown and mystery is unsettling at the same time, it also stimulates curiosity and the desire to explore.
Some people chased the floating island, trying to witness its end, but not long after, some were intercepted by patrol boats on the way, and others reached the boundary of the territorial sea and did not dare to cross into the open sea.
On the rough open sea, there are some outlaws who are eyeing this island, but unfortunately the speed of the ship is far less than that of the floating island, and the outlaws can only watch the floating island disappear into the sky.
"Damn! What are those Orientals doing, they make the whole Internet now a video of the floating island, and the people of the Spear Bureau just do it and watch it?! ”
The video taken by a person witnessing the floating island may not be convincing, but now there are many photos taken by fishermen from East Asia on the Internet, and the pictures are near and far, there are dark clouds and fog, and there are clear skies.
This is enough to make waves, after all, the video is not a blurry UFO image, but a real floating island.
"Damn the Spear Bureau!"
Nick Fury clutched his forehead and cursed.
The Divine Spear Bureau is an institution of a large country in the East, although the concept of the Divine Spear Bureau comes from the famous scholar Zhang Heng of the National Dynasty "Since ancient times, the spear is in the east, and the shield is in the west", which sounds the opposite of the S.H.I.E.L.D., but in fact, the responsibility of the Divine Spear Bureau is also strategic defensive attack and logistics support, their full name is "People's Strategic Law Enforcement Alert Corps or Elimination and Removal of Special Members", which is specifically responsible for dealing with various supernatural events, and they often only govern the affairs of the Eastern Hemisphere.
This is why Nick Fury is angry, because the Spear Bureau did not restrict the spread of information about the floating island in the first place.
In his opinion, it is possible that this is deliberately done by the Divine Spear Bureau.
Agent Hill said, "Jung Hyun just sent a message saying yes. Someone is circulating these videos behind their backs, possibly Hydra, who have recently become active again, possibly related to the failure of the previous Insight program. ”
"It's here, we need to be ready."
Nick Fury put down the tablet and asked, "What about Tony?" ”
"In the conference room downstairs."
"It's a conference room again, we get along almost always in the conference room, when will it be changed to a restaurant dance hall"
After a while of grumbling, Nick pushed open the door to the conference room, and when he saw Tony Stark's solemn face, he immediately had a bad premonition in his heart, "What's wrong?" ”
"The people from the Meteorological Bureau just now sent a new positioning, and the situation this time may be similar to what we guessed."
Tony gestured to look at the projector, and after a while, a satellite image was played, symbolizing the red dot of the floating island, flying at high speed, after nearly ten hours, it had entered the Pacific Ocean for a long time, and now passed through the central area.
It didn't stop there, but continued to fly north.
In terms of speed, there is no intention of stopping.
"Where is it going?"
When Nick Fury saw this, his heart tightened.
"We're It"
Steve Rogers said in a deep voice, "Its final destination may be the United States, or it may be the North Pole, it has been flying north now, and according to the current route, it will fly to us sooner or later." ”
"We've got to find a way to stop it."
Dr. Banner said.
"Interception with missiles?"
"No, you can't just ruin it, that's a very. Study the meaning of the floating island, it can't just be sunk. ”
Banner decisively rejected the offer, and as a researcher, something beyond the realm of cognition aroused his great desire.
"You can't watch it crash into the ground beneath your feet, it could be as dangerous as the Hulk inside you."
Nick Fury's face was calm, his black forehead was bruised, his eyes were fixed on the picture, and the red dots were still moving north.
It was enough of a headache to deal with mutants, but now there is a floating island like a meteorite!
And at this moment, above the vast blue of the Pacific Ocean, the sky was originally endless, except for the occasional white clouds, which were endlessly blue. However, at this moment, a black dot quietly appeared in the distant skyline, which gradually grew larger and clearer.
It was a floating island
Krakoa!
It is like a huge mountain, but it is suspended in mid-air. The green vegetation of the island is lush and contrasts with the surrounding sky and sea.
Beneath the island, there seemed to be a looming layer of light holding it up, allowing it to fly steadily in the air and ignore the raging sea breeze.
The island is cloudy and misty-like like a fairyland, with several watchtowers scattered around the edge of the island, and a cluster of wooden houses in the central area, with a towering tree in the center.
The trunk of the tree is extremely thick, the bark is covered with traces of time, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal, like a face that has been weathered. At the top of the trunk was an old human face. The face was wrinkled, and the eyes were deep and mysterious.
"Krakoa won't suddenly open his mouth and swallow me, will he?"
Lorna looked up at the tree, her eyes full of curiosity.
"It's a little hungry, but it won't eat its own people."
Rojo shook his head.
Since yesterday, after reaching an agreement with Krakoya using some conditions and means, he has used the materials provided by the Atlanteans to establish temporary settlements on the island and move everyone in.
Thinking that sooner or later he would be discovered by satellites, he simply took the initiative and let Crakoya fly to a best location to settle down, and by the way, find more food for Crakoya.
As for what the food is.
"Rojo, I think those people must have noticed us now."
Charles Xavier walked over and voiced his concerns.
"It doesn't matter, it's a matter of time."
Rojo did not have the slightest worry, and said: "We need it now, hurry up and build Cracoia." ”
Krakoa is an island dominated by forests, with little open space, but there are lakes and mountains, and there is plenty of fresh water, but the infrastructure is backward, so everything needs to be started from scratch.
"I'm worried they're coming here."
Charles is still deeply worried, after all, ordinary people may be in poor physical fitness, but those missiles are genuine, and Krakoa may not be able to bear it.
"Professor, don't worry, since you choose to settle in Krakoya, I naturally won't let everything be thrown away easily, believe me, they want to enter Krakoa, it's not that simple."
Rojo patted the stout old trunk.
Phew.
The vicissitudes of life on the trunk of the tree opened its mouth, danced the vines, and exhaled a breath of heat, as if in line with Rojo's words, and the whole island became more verdant and vibrant in this moment.
And at the same time.
This huge floating island has reached the territorial waters of several major North American countries.
Across from Midway.
The huge island was suspended in the sky, and black shadows enveloped the sea, as if the end had come, dark clouds shrouded the sea, and the sea began to boil and surge.
