Chapter 602 Progress of the situation
[Correspondent: Frank]
[呲——]
[Frank: This is the Atlas Group’s first task force, Frank Custer, boss, I'm going to debrief you. 】
A signal was transmitted back from the offshore area and was captured by the Atlas Building antenna in New York. Perhaps because the distance was far away and the source of the signal was on the sea, the signal was somewhat intermittent.
According to the communication situation, the ship carrying vibranium is already very close to New York.
The messages passed back are all meaningless noise. Only both parties have the key to complete the decryption and obtain valid information. Even if a supercomputer is used to perform brute force cracking, the time required to complete the cracking will definitely be too long. The information has lost its timeliness.
[Frank: Location update: 73 degrees east longitude, 40 degrees north latitude, just an approximate location. 】
【We are close to New York and it is estimated that it will take another 7 to 10 days to officially arrive at the port. At present, no one has any doubts about this ordinary cargo ship. 】
【The goods are in good condition and the camouflage system is normal. 】
[The current sea conditions are good, and there are patrol boats in the southeast direction. Well, there is nothing too unusual. Frank ends. 】
Liel disconnected from the signal tower and pinched his eyebrows——
The first to-do item was to update the location information of Vibranium. Frank’s report showed that everything was normal.
With vibranium, you can begin to experiment with so-called controlled nuclear fusion: Whether it is Lear's own idea or the engineering drawings obtained from Tony, the speculation about the arc reactor requires vibranium This unique material acts as a confinement device to control fusion elements.
So Lear wants to start designing a nuclear fusion reactor: his own idea is to set up a large power generation device and use the properties of vibranium to absorb energy to create an unprecedented alloy to control the generation of nuclear fusion high temperature and neutron radiation.
According to this plan, Lear needs to first study how to make new alloys, and then increase the volume of the reactor as much as possible to increase the output and input energy ratio. Overall, it is a low-cost and high-energy-supply solution, but the relative reactor The size is not small either.
Tony’s idea is of course a small nuclear fusion device. He believes that high-energy lasers can be used to synthesize a new element between vibranium atoms. This new element can only exist between vibranium atoms and last for a long time. Carry out nuclear fusion reactions.
However, the energy required for synthesis itself is not small, so the output and input energy ratio is definitely not as good as Lear's solution, but the miniaturized equipment is obviously more suitable for superheroes.
It's a pity that Tony only started this idea, and the MK armor just appeared in his mind and he lost contact. All the files in the files are miniaturized designs of Stark military industry, such as Micro missiles and tracking bullets.
These are all things that Lear has ruined.
To be valuable, intercontinental missiles can still be taken out and rolled around, but Lear himself knows a thing or two about this thing. He just said that it needs to be built. The inertial navigation, global positioning system, thermal protection system, launch platform, etc. inside are all You need to think about where to buy it or how to make it.
Thinking about it this way, in fact, the only difference between him and Iron Man is a super suit that can fly at supersonic speeds without being broken by a touch.
[Little Octopus: Brother, when will we take action against Stark Industries? 】
[Lille: Look at the news. 】
[Little Octopus: Okay. 】
The biggest news recently is that Barnes is about to take office as president. To the outside world, this president has given almost equal help to the military-industrial group dominated by Roxon Energy and the Peace Development Group dominated by Atlas Group. The result of this is that the power of both sides is soaring, and the world is developing rapidly in a seemingly peaceful situation:
In Africa, the scale of Zhuya City is growing. With this as the core, one by one Nuclear reactors serve as nodes, high-voltage lines and transportation roads are fully rolled out, followed by branches, exploration team members and robots return data one after another, mines and factories spring up like mushrooms after rain, and workers and engineers trained by brain-computer interfaces pour in.
Once upon a time, Africa was just a piece of loose sand, an undeveloped primitive treasure land. Now, the blood of industry has been injected here. As the supply of basic materials gradually keeps up, Atlas Group produces The products are becoming more and more popular. Because of the actions of President Barnes, trade has basically returned to normal. Only those entities tied to the same boat as Roxon will refuse and hinder the completion of these business negotiations.
But those are not problems.
Because in this world, profits can sweep away the gaps between all groups of people: race, nationality, skin color, thoughts
People can ignore these differences in order to obtain enough profits, or the actual thing of profits will defeat them. Those illusory things make them loyal to their hearts.
The last column of the news section is that demonstrations are being held in all major states: places like New York are anti-war demonstrations, places like Houston are putting pressure on the next government to punish African terrorists. To punish.
However, in these states with distinctive flags, the parades were relatively peaceful.
The Atlas Group has old police officers equipped with high-tech prosthetics and new police officers using exoskeletons as security guards, and has certain connections with various guilds and parade organizations.
The Roxon Group is more straightforward: they have launched robots as police officers, and marchers with ulterior motives simply do not dare to participate. After all, there is no case of compensation from the local government for those who were killed by machines.
In places where the position is more volatile, the situation is complicated.
[Little Octopus: Two groups of marchers clashed in Pittsburgh, and the scene immediately turned into a street brawl. 14 people died on the spot and 68 others were injured. The state capital announced that it would introduce a new era of urban security technology, but there is still no Not sure if it's us or Roxon, the bid has been submitted. 】
[Little Octopus: The state capital of Cleveland was set on fire, but the arsonist was caught before he could take two steps. It is said that the person who captured the person used our brain-computer chip and often learned fighting skills. 】
[Little Octopus: Norfolk is considering signing a business agreement with Roxon, mainly related to the oil industry. There is news, but not much. The protestors have already rushed to the city hall. 】
[Little Octopus: There is also good news. An old building in Miami was set on fire by demonstrators. The fire-fighting facilities in the building were outdated and unusable. A young man in our project volunteered to participate in the second-generation prosthetic human experiment in order to save his mother. He climbed the building with his bare hands and kicked in the door to save her, along with several neighbors.
This matter is quite involved. ctOS has won the bid, and we will deploy resources there next. 】
[Little Octopus: There is still.]
31 of the 50 states have clearly voted for Roxon, 14 states have chosen Atlas, and the remaining 5 states have wavered. But the political situation no longer supports their continued swing.
In general, the remaining five states will be more biased towards Atlas. After all, most of the swing states are states whose economic performance has become flat or has been unable to sustain. They have been adjusting or adjusting during the financial crisis. Forced to adjust the industry, Atlas, which has more emerging technologies, will be more in line with their needs.
No matter what, people can smell the smell of gunpowder:
The contradiction is already so strong that no one can continue to sway in the coming storm.
Smart people also know that this is not a bet, but a life-saving straw that looks solid.
[Little Octopus: Brother, if we hadn’t already invested in Africa, we might be out of breath right now. 】
Lille stood up from his control room and ended today's information summary.
"Let Michael get ready and I'll perform prosthetic surgery on him."
