Chapter 334 S: The Great Incident of Glory (thirteen)
In SHIELD's underground experimental base, a man with brown hair and green eyes stepped forward, shook Schiller's hand and said, "Long time no see, Schiller. I haven't heard from you since you left the University of California.
I never thought we would meet here."
"It's been a long time indeed. After I transferred to Harvard, I thought you would leave the University of California soon. Unexpectedly, you stayed for so long. Bruce, how are you doing?" Schiller shook hands with Bruce Banner with a smile.
He shook his hand.
In his role at Marvel, Schiller once taught at the University of California. At that time, he and Banner were colleagues, but Schiller stayed there for a short time and left, and Bruce Banner is still at the University of California.
professor.
"Not bad, but after you leave, I have to pay for every psychological consultation." Banner smiled and pushed up his glasses.
There were actually more than just the two of them in this room, and Stark was standing next to him, but he was busy with his own business, and Schiller and Banner treated him as if he didn't exist.
After Schiller stepped aside and allowed Banner to enter the laboratory, Banner glanced at Stark, rolled his eyes slightly, and then turned and walked towards the experimental table.
Schiller walked up to him, looked back at Stark, and asked, "You two don't have a good relationship?"
"You should ask, who has a good relationship with Stark? At the last global forum, he spoke eloquently for three and a half hours, reducing existing physics theories to worthless..." Banner
Pushing up his glasses again, he didn't lower his voice, so Stark heard clearly.
Stark made a short breath from his nose, took a pile of information, and strode out of the laboratory, but Banner showed a puzzled expression, looked at his back and said, "What's wrong with this guy?"
In the past, he would have rushed to argue with me for hours."
"People always have to grow up." Schiller shrugged and asked: "Did SHIELD come to you? Who else did they look for?"
"I am the only one for now. Originally, they have contacted Reed Richards, but his third phase of near-Earth research has not been completed yet. He is still hanging in the sky. It is estimated that he will not be back until half a month at the earliest.
.”
Banner glanced at Schiller and asked him: "You are the first among us to arrive. Do you know any inside information? SHIELD is making a big move this time. It seems that it wants to get physicists all over the world."
come over……"
"I didn't arrive earlier than you. Now I'm the psychological consultant of SHIELD. I can only tell you that this is indeed a big move. If I guess correctly, someone is giving a speech at the World Security Council right now.
…”
"To sum up, the fact that human beings are not alone in the universe has been confirmed, but it is very regrettable that what awaits us next is not a friendly third kind of contact, but a height that is unimaginable to humans.
Aliens with advanced technology, and the enemy is unknown..."
In the center of the semicircular seat of the Security Council, Steve was standing on the podium. Along with his speech, a picture of a Kree battleship taken by Eddie was displayed behind him.
Eddie was able to become a well-known reporter because his basic skills were impeccable. This picture was taken very well. In the center and at the top of the picture is an unparalleled huge planet battleship, emitting a shimmering light in the vast starry sky, and at the bottom of the picture
They are the space agents who look very small. On both sides of the screen are countless frigates...
Although I don’t know how Eddie happened to capture the photo of the only remaining Kree frigates filling the screen, but judging from this picture alone, this fleet does not look like they just fled in panic, losing most of the frigates, and even
The defeated army, unable to return home, seemed to be a majestic army ready to invade other civilizations.
Steve also looked back at the picture. He silently praised Eddie's professionalism and continued to say in a calm tone: "This is a developed civilization that is unimaginable for humans."
Come on down, I will introduce to you the Kree and their star warships..."
Nick was sitting in the audience, and he saw that as Steve told the story, the faces of the council members became more and more solemn, until they turned a little pale. Even Pierce, who had always managed his expressions well and could not express his emotions or anger, had an expression on his face.
They all became very solemn, with shock almost written on their faces.
As Steve just said, the World Security Council has long known that aliens exist and has some understanding of Asgard, but their imagination of aliens is still relatively limited. After all, humans have been
They were working behind closed doors and had no intuitive understanding of how far alien technology could develop, but now, the evidence was before them.
How advanced is a civilization that can transform a planet about the same size as the earth into a star battleship?
No one could have imagined it before seeing the real evidence, but now they have seen it. Not only have they seen it, they have also learned that the fleet of battleships from this civilized planet is parked at the edge of the galaxy at this time.
This is like the novice guide of some games. It gives you a sword and asks you to kill a chicken. It tells you that you have understood all the gameplay of this game. Now go save the world. The player goes out happily.
, facing a full-level ancient god with more than 180 arms...
Now, human civilization has not even launched a novice village, and has not finished the tutorial. The ultimate boss is already squatting at the door of the house. No matter how determined you are, you still have to panic.
After speaking for more than two hours according to the speech script, even Steve felt a little dry in the mouth and dizzy. He actually didn't understand the professional terms that Stark summarized very well, so in most cases
He was memorizing things by rote, applying them mechanically, and had to deal with all kinds of weird questions. If he hadn't received professional training, he would have been taken away by now.
When he walked from the podium to the backstage, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. He originally wanted to go to Nick, but he saw Nick talking to a black-haired man in uniform. Steve knew that man. He was a god.
Whenever Zheng Xian, the director of the Spear Bureau, came to the Security Council for a meeting, Nick always stayed with him.
Steve could guess what the two of them were talking about by guessing, so he had no intention of walking over to participate in the conversation. Instead, he walked through the backstage alone. At this moment, Pierce, who had white temples, stopped him.
He walked up, shook hands with Steve and said, "Long time no see, Captain America. How are you doing?"
"It's okay, just a little busy."
"Really? Are you busy with something about alien invasion?"...
"That's not true. Director Nick's superhero team plan didn't go well. Although we found a lot of people, we didn't even have a decent base. I had to run around looking for a house..."
"In addition, logistical supplies are also a problem. If we rely entirely on SHIELD, Nick will have to worry about funding for the next quarter."
Pierce was very familiar with this tone. He immediately squeezed Steve's hand and said, "Superhero team plan? In fact, I like this plan very much. When Nick proposed the original plan to me, I expressed my strong support."
he."
"Captain, are you free later? I've made an appointment with some members of Congress to play golf. They and their families are all your fans. If you can meet them in real life, they will be extremely happy."
"Oh, come on, Director Alexander, we all rely on these heroes hidden behind the scenes..."
"They will really enjoy talking to you about this topic. Nick should have to wait for a while. Let's go first."
Pierce and Steve walked quickly through the backstage, and Nick and Zheng Xian were sitting at the coffee table by the window. Watching the two figures walking further and further away, Nick picked up the cup and said: "...then just press the button we just
It’s been negotiated, but as for the superficial matters, we still have to wait for official contact.”
Zheng Xian raised his glass, clinked it with him and said, "That's it. If anything happens again during official discussions, we will contact you at any time..."
With that, he stood up and left. Nick took out his mobile phone and called Strange, asking him: "How are the arrangements for the mages? How many manpower can be mobilized? Our scientists have basically been assembled and are ready at any time.
start……"
"Listen to me, the plan has changed." On the stairs in front of the Kama Taj Hall, Strange was walking down, holding the phone, and said: "Originally, we expected to find 20 mages to open the doors separately.
Portal, but just now the king told me that the great wizards of Karma Taj have developed a large-scale portal..."
"Large portal? How big is it?"
"So far, if we combine the power of all the magicians of Kama Taj and the power of the earth's magic defense system, we can probably open it to a size larger than the moon."
"So big?!" Nick said in surprise.
"Yes, I am also surprised, but after all, Kama Taj is the magical holy land of the earth. People who can become archmages here are all knowledgeable scholars. They are no worse than human scientists. It's just that
The direction of research is just magic."
Strange sighed and said, "Things have to start from the Holy of Holies..."
Originally, Kama Taj was an ancient magic holy land, and their magic technology had not changed for thousands of years, because it was the most practical and stable method of controlling magic that generations of mages had figured out, and
It is enough to protect the earth.
But recently, the times have developed too fast. First of all, the position of the Supreme Mage has changed. Ancient One now returns to Kama Taj less and less, and Strange is in charge of most things.
Although they are optimistic about Strange's potential, Strange's current magic level is really unflattering. Without the protection of the powerful Ancient One, these archmages also feel a sense of crisis...
Furthermore, with the development of the Holy Sanctuary, there are more and more customers, and the business is getting wider and wider, and the mages are almost creating sparks when trying to open the portal.
With the help of hanging rings, it is easier for the temple guardians and archmages to open the portal, but it is more laborious for other mages. However, the daily business volume is still very large. Kama Taj has transformed from a magical holy land overnight.
It became the 996 Holy Land, and all the mages were so tired that they were panting.
Demand will always promote the progress of productivity. During the time when the Sanctuary was opened, the magic portal has gone through several generations of upgrades and has begun to become more and more energy-efficient and stable.
However, opening a portal individually is not as useful as a large fixed portal. Therefore, the great wizards of Karma Taj worked overtime to start researching a large portal that could be fixed in the universe.
Originally, mages need to be extremely careful when using their power, because the essence of Marvel magic is borrowing. Once you borrow too much and fail to repay it, you will be in big trouble.
However, the previous incident of Gnar serving food caused Ancient One to show off a feast to all the mages of Kama Taj. In addition to everyone being full, there was still a lot of energy left, which was stored in Kama Taj.
At the central hub, mages use this energy to research better magic techniques, and the results are outstanding.
In addition to sufficient power, technical support from the Demon God is also indispensable. Is there a problem with the way the energy is used? Call Mephisto directly. The space is not stable enough? Call Mordo and ask him to ask Dormammu about the teleportation process.
Unstable and easy to get stuck? Pull a dark red ribbon and ask Setorak...
While Stark was climbing the technology tree, Karma Taj was also busy lighting up his magic skills, and the speed of both parties was not slow, and there was even a sense of competition.
