"The global weather anomaly has lasted for two days. At present, the cause of the extreme climate change has not yet been identified. According to the unanimous analysis of experts, this unprecedented weather anomaly is likely to be related to the changes in the earth.
It’s about warmth..."
The TV that was turned on was broadcasting emergency news, calling on everyone to reduce travel and care for the natural environment.
Today is the second day after Norin came to the earth, and it is also the day before the sacrifice is launched.
In the past two days, hail, heavy rain, sandstorms, heavy snow, and many other extreme and severe weather events have taken turns, just like signs before the end of the world.
Wu Ming and others sat in the laboratory, watching the various explanations given by the program guests on TV. Only a few of them knew that this was not climate warming, but that Nolin was affecting nature and giving the ignorant earth
People serve as a warning.
"Reed, how are you preparing?"
Looking away, Wu Ming looked at Reed, and said: "The day after tomorrow, this silver monster will summon Galactus and swallow the earth in one bite. Before that, whether you can complete the energy blocker will mean
Can we take him down?"
"I..." Just as Reid was about to speak, the phone beside him rang.
Looking down, Reid was surprised that the caller's number was actually hidden.
"There is no problem on my side, it's just that the working range of the energy blocker is only ten meters. You need to be in close contact with him to ensure that the blocker is effective and get him off the surfboard." Reed answered while pressing the button
Press the answer button and say: "Hello, I'm Dr. Reed."
"Doctor, this is General Hart, from the Home Strategic Defense Command. First of all, I want to thank you for the information you provided us. The military has already contacted that person, but unfortunately the two sides did not have a pleasant conversation. Doctor, you are now
Do you have time? I have something to talk to you about and want to hear your opinion."
The caller was very direct and identified himself right away.
Two days ago, after coming into contact with the Silver Surfer, Reed sent a warning to the Pentagon.
At that time, this warning was not taken seriously, but with the abnormal changes in climate, the previous warnings have been gradually accepted.
"It's from the military. They want to see me." Reed pressed the phone with his hand and repeated General Hart's words.
Wu Ming and others looked at each other and knew what General Hart's purpose was.
To be fair, behind the military is the government, which represents public opinion and symbolizes absolute justice.
Not to mention Susan, they are all out-and-out Americans.
Although Wu Ming is not, he can't stand up to Marvel's plot, which all takes place in the United States. If it is not necessary, he will also give the military face. It is no good if the relationship between the two parties is too bad.
"Doctor, are you still listening? Now, I am at your door. If you have time, I would like to come in and sit."
Everyone is at the door. If you don't have a determined goal, I'm afraid no one will believe you if you tell me.
Reed himself did not expect that General Hart liked to make surprise attacks. After being stunned for a moment, he said: "Welcome, I'm not busy right now."
"very good..."
After hanging up the phone, there was a knock on the door, within five seconds.
Looking back at the door, Susan looked surprised and asked, "Is General Hart here?"
"Here we come, it seems that the situation is very serious. Some people can't sit still." After saying this, Reed controlled the computer to open the door and brought up the monitor outside.
In the monitor, a black general with the rank of major general, accompanied by four guards, was talking to a female officer.
Seeing the door open, the black general and the female officer walked inside together, while four guards guarded the door.
"General Hart, nice to see you." Seeing General Hart walk in, Reed hurriedly greeted him.
General Hart waved his hand and did not like such politeness. He said bluntly: "This is the second time we have met. The first time was at the Ministry of Defense. You wanted to seek funding from the military to carry out space exploration projects. At that time,
, I don’t have a good impression of you, I think you are a lunatic, and I actively vetoed your proposal."
Hearing General Hart's words, Reed was a little embarrassed, because the space exploration project was an eternal pain in his heart.
Here, after witnessing Reed's ugliness, Susan couldn't sit still.
On weekdays, no matter how bad she said about Reed, it was none of other people's business. She would not be happy if others said anything.
General Hart brought up old things again, and his tone was a bit condescending, which she didn't like.
"General, the purpose of your visit today is not the military, is it to launch another space exploration project?" Susan, like an old hen guarding her young, choked General Hart directly.
You know, General Hart came here this time, needless to say, it was because of Nolin, it couldn't be for other things.
A person who came to ask for help could speak so confidently. Susan really couldn't figure out how General Hart deserved the rank of major general.
"Doctor, is this your girlfriend?" General Hart said with an expressionless face, as cold as a robot: "If so, you should discipline her well. When a man is talking, a woman does not need to interrupt."
Susan was going crazy. She glared at General Hart and wanted to rush up and scratch his face.
Reed smiled bitterly, but did not dare to dwell on this issue, so he changed the subject and said: "General, if you have anything to say, just tell me. There are no outsiders here."
General Hart nodded coldly, glanced at the female officer, and said, "Show him our documents."
"Yes, General."
The female officer brought a document bag, opened it directly on the table, and took out a document from it.
Wu Ming and others moved forward and looked at the files while passing them around.
It was found that the contents of these documents were similar. They were all crash photos of some aircraft. Judging from the models, they were still in active service.
"General, what is this?"
Wu Ming threw the photo aside and whispered: "Could it be that you sent a plane to intercept that guy, only to be beaten up?"
There was no answer. General Hart was a black man, and his face turned darker at this time.
Finally, the female officer spoke slowly and explained: "After receiving your warning, we tried to contact him, but unfortunately we never succeeded. This morning, he flew over a secret base of the Navy, and we dispatched eight aircraft
The fighter planes intercepted him and made an emergency landing. In just the blink of an eye, he shot down eight fighter planes, destroyed the base, and killed at least 7,000 people."
More than 7,000 people are equivalent to a reinforced brigade. When attacking Afghanistan, the United States had never lost so many people.
It's true that the Silver Surfer is a good guy, but that doesn't mean he won't fight back when attacked.
After all, in the years of serving Galactus, the Silver Surfer has witnessed the destruction of many planets. For those who attack him, the Silver Surfer will be merciful for the first time, give a stern warning for the second time, and give him a stern warning for the third time.
Give a devastating blow.
Obviously, the military's temptation exceeded the bottom line and ended up getting itself involved.
This is also more in line with reality. We have been the world's policeman for a long time, and we severely beat Afghanistan the year before last. During this period, the United States' internal self-confidence was unprecedentedly expanded.
"Doctor, how much do you know about this man?" General Hart looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "We have tried the most advanced fighter planes, the navy's large-caliber naval guns, and even intercontinental ballistics. None of these things have failed.
use!"
"I know a little bit, but not comprehensively. I just know that guy is very strong." Reed answered very cautiously, and did not mention the energy blocker.
It's not that Reed doesn't trust the military, but that there are many factions in the military, and there are many nasty things between them. Things like energy blockers can only be used to surprise people. If the effect of the surprise force is lost, it will probably not be able to afford it.
It worked.
"Doctor, I don't know if you are hiding something, but the motherland needs you, and I hope you can contribute. The military has a plan. We plan to capture it and study its powerful secrets. You are our indispensable
Talent." General Hart was really rude and also had great ambitions.
But he made a miscalculation. The Silver Surfer's strength was not his body, but the surfboard-like thing under his feet.
Without that, the Silver Surfer is an alien at best. It can be used for dissection or specimen preparation. Its living structure is no higher than that of humans.
Of course, in the eyes of Hart and the military, the Silver Surfer is mysterious and powerful enough to fight against the military.
In this situation where basic information is unequal, it is reasonable to mistakenly believe that the research value of Silver Surfer is very high.
"Sorry General, we are not used to being restricted. We can contribute in other areas as well." Reed smiled and declined the invitation, seemingly unmoved.
General Hart regrets that he always feels that there is something that he doesn't know and that the other party knows but doesn't want to talk about.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, Reid didn't say anything further, as if he didn't want to bring up this topic.
In desperation, General Hart could only put his mind down and said: "In that case, I would like to entrust you to develop a positioning device that can lock the position of that person. Originally, this research was handed over to Jeff Wagner
The professor is a professor in the Department of Physics at Brown University. But unfortunately, the professor suffered from cerebral congestion and has been admitted to the hospital. I have no better candidate in a short time."
"Okay, I agree." This time, Reed agreed happily because he knew he couldn't keep refusing.
A scientist, especially a super scientist like Reed who is related to aerospace, can never avoid the government.
For example, in the space exploration plan, there is the lease of the Alpha space station to serve as a space base. If you have a bad relationship with the government, leasing the space station is an absolute joke. All you need to do is block your research project and reject it.
The entry of research equipment is enough to make most people collapse.
Reed's EQ is very low, but his IQ is very high and he knows when to compromise.
When your own interests are not in play, how are you, how am I, and how everyone is doing are the primary factors that keep you playing.
"Doctor, you will become a friend of the military, more than ten miles better than some scientists who call themselves superheroes." General Hart gave Reed a hug, wrote the bad check and left.
After watching the general leave, Reed shrugged his shoulders and asked, "Who is he talking about?"
"My friend Tony, that guy's relationship with the military is very tense now, and he feels like he is going to be labeled as a villain." Wu Ming said with a smile, looking a little gloating.
Reed and Susan didn't know about Tony's dirty work with the military, so they showed great interest.
Wu Ming did not disappoint everyone, pointing to the direction General Hart left and said: "Tony Stark, our Iron Man, refused to use his armor as a weapon and sell it to the military.
These days, he is like a monkey, frequently contacting big figures in the parliament, hoping that someone will resist the pressure for him. But unfortunately, the hawks in the military insist on taking him to court and throwing Tony into prison.
"
"No way, Tony is a great inventor, a great entrepreneur, a great philanthropist, a great..."
A series of big characters are all about Tony's halo, which makes people unable to look directly.
Susan's meaning was simple. How could the military send such a successful man to prison? After all, Tony was not an ordinary person.
"There is no doubt that Wall Street can influence Congress, and Congress can influence the military. However, the government is not the plaything of a certain person or a certain consortium. Even if the United States is a capital society, this will not change. Once Congress requests it,
Contrary to the demands of the military, this group of big shots with military power don't mind embarrassing Congress because the United States can live without conglomerates and absolutely cannot live without its military."
Wu Ming himself often listens to people clamoring on the Internet that the consortium controls the United States and controls the change of president.
But most of those who clamor are just blindly following the crowd and do not understand that the continuation of a system is not that simple.
President Roosevelt once said that the influence of the consortium seems to be indispensable in all aspects. However, if the consortium blocks the progress of the United States, it is destined to go into the abyss, and there are countless capitals who want to replace it.
Therefore, even though Tony was the head of a large plutocrat and had countless friends in politics to help him, he was still disgraced by the military.
The military's argument is very simple. Stark Industries' selfishness has harmed the interests of the United States and is no longer suitable for its current status. Perhaps we should replace it with the Osborne Group, the Discovery Group, or other groups instead of replacing it with
The place is reserved for those who are not patriotic.
A simple statement of being unpatriotic may seem indifferent, but in fact it can shatter a business empire.
The former richest man in Russia, Khodorkovsky, was sent to prison because he lay on the country and sucked blood when the Soviet Union collapsed.
You know, at that time Khodorkovsky had already formed a worldwide consortium, but what was the use of it.
From a national perspective, if a world-class consortium turns into a tumor, it is only a matter of time before it is stabbed, even if it causes hundreds of thousands of people to lose their jobs.
Therefore, to simply believe that capital society is just a plaything of consortia and politicians are dogs, only a fool would say that.
This is as ridiculous as foreigners slandering our country and now being unable to afford food.
