Chapter 602: Situation Development

[Communicator: Frank]

[Squeak——]

[Frank: This is the first task force of the Atlas Group, Frank Custer, boss, I will report the situation to you. ]

A signal was sent back from the offshore area and was captured by the antenna of the Atlas Building in New York. Perhaps because of the long distance and the source of the signal on the sea, the signal was a little intermittent.

According to the communication situation, the ship carrying vibranium is very close to New York.

The messages sent back are all meaningless noise. Only when both parties hold the key can they complete the decryption and obtain effective information. Even if there is a supercomputer to crack it violently, the time required to complete the cracking will definitely make the information lose its timeliness.

[Frank: Position update: 73 degrees east longitude, 40 degrees north latitude, just an approximate location. ]

[We are close to New York. It is expected to take another 7 to 10 days to officially reach the port. No one has any doubts about this ordinary cargo ship at present. ]

[The cargo is in good condition and the camouflage system is normal. ]

[The current sea conditions are good. There are patrol ships in the southeast. Well, there is nothing too abnormal. Frank ends. 】

Lille disconnected the link with the signal tower and pinched his brows——

The first task was to update the location information of the vibranium. Frank's report showed that everything was normal.

With vibranium, we can start to test the so-called controlled nuclear fusion: whether it is Lille's own idea or the engineering drawings he got from Tony, the speculation about the arc reactor requires vibranium, a unique material, as a restraint device to control the nuclear fusion elements.

So Lille has to start designing a nuclear fusion reactor: his own idea is to set up a large power generation device, using the energy-absorbing properties of vibranium to create an unprecedented alloy to control the high temperature and neutron radiation generated by nuclear fusion.

According to this plan, Lille needs to study how to make a new alloy first, and then increase the volume of the reactor as much as possible to improve the output and input energy ratio. In general, it is a low-cost and high-total energy supply plan, but the relative reactor volume will not be small.

Tony's idea is of course a small nuclear fusion device. He believes that a new element can be synthesized between vibranium atoms using high-energy lasers. This new element can only exist between vibranium atoms and carry out nuclear fusion reactions for a long time.

However, the energy required for synthesis is not small, so the output-to-input energy ratio is definitely not as good as Lear's plan, but the miniaturized equipment is obviously more suitable for superheroes.

Unfortunately, Tony only started this idea, and the MK armor just appeared in his mind when he lost contact. The files are all miniaturized designs of Stark Military, such as micro missiles and tracking bullets.

These are all things that Lear played with.

If it is valuable, intercontinental missiles can still be taken out for a stroll, but Lear himself knows a little about this thing. It's just that if you want to make it, you need to consider where to buy or how to make the inertial navigation, global positioning system, thermal protection system, launch platform, etc. in it.

Thinking about it this way, in fact, he is now only missing a set of super suits that can allow the wearer to fly at supersonic speeds without breaking at the slightest touch.

[Little Octopus: Big brother, when are we going to take action against Stark Industries? ]

[Lille: Check 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 the same help to the military-industrial group led by Roxxon Energy and the peace development group led by Atlas Group.

The result is that the power of both sides is increasing rapidly, and the world is developing rapidly in a seemingly peaceful situation:

In Africa, the scale of Zhua City is growing. With this as the core, nuclear reactors are nodes, high-voltage lines and transportation roads are fully laid out, and branches are branches. Exploration team members and robots have returned data one after another, and mines and factories have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, pouring in workers and engineers trained in brain-computer interfaces.

Africa used to be a mess, an undeveloped primitive treasure land. Now, the blood of industry has been injected here. As the supply of basic materials gradually catches up, the products produced by the Atlas Group are becoming more and more popular. Because of Barnes's behavior as the presidency candidate, trade has basically returned to normal. Only those entities tied to Roxxon will refuse and hinder the negotiation of these businesses.

But those are not problems.

Because in this world, profit can sweep away all the gaps between people: race, nationality, skin color, thoughts

People can ignore these differences in order to get enough profit, or the real thing like profit will defeat those illusory things and make them loyal to their hearts.

The last column of the news section is that all states are holding marches: places like New York are anti-war marches, and places like Houston are putting pressure on the next government to punish African terrorists.

However, the marches in these states with clear flags are relatively peaceful.

The Atlas Group has old police officers equipped with high-tech prosthetics and new police officers using exoskeletons as security, and has certain connections with various unions and march organizations.

The Roxon Group is more direct: they have launched robots as police, and marchers with ulterior motives dare not participate at all. After all, there is no case of local government compensation for being killed by machines.

In places where the position is more wavering, the situation is complicated.

[Little Octopus: Two groups of marchers in Pittsburgh clashed, and the scene immediately turned into a street fight. 14 people died on the spot and 68 were injured. The state capital claimed to introduce a new era of urban security technology, but it is not yet certain whether it will be 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 run two steps. It is said that the person who caught him used our brain-computer chip and often learned fighting skills. ]

[Little Octopus: Norfolk is considering signing a business agreement with Roxon, mainly about the oil industry. There is news, but not much. The protesters have already rushed to the city government. ]

[Little Octopus: There is also good news. An old building in Miami was set on fire by the marchers. The fire-fighting facilities in the building are aging and cannot be used. A young man who volunteered to participate in the second-generation prosthetic human experiment in our project climbed the building with his bare hands to save his mother, kicked open the door and saved her, as well as several neighbors.

This matter involves a lot. ctOS has won the bid. We will deploy resources there next. 】

【Little Octopus: And.】

31 of the 50 states have clearly turned to Roxon, 14 states have chosen Atlas, and the remaining 5 states are wavering, but the political situation no longer supports them to continue to waver.

In general, the remaining five states will be more inclined to Atlas. After all, most of the states that are wavering are states with flat economic performance or can no longer hold up. They have been adjusting or forced to adjust their industries in the financial storm. Choosing Atlas with more emerging technologies will be more in line with their needs.

In any case, people can smell the gunpowder from it:

The contradiction is so strong that no one can continue to waver in the coming storm.

Smart people also know that this is not a bet, but a life-saving straw that looks solid.

【Little Octopus: Big brother, if we hadn't invested in Africa long ago, we might be a little breathless now. 】

Lille got up from his control room and ended today's information summary.

"Let Michael get ready, I'll do prosthetic surgery on him."
