Luke, who is staying at Washington D.C., is not yet aware of the news that Hellfire Club has added a new member, and that Atlantis and Mutants have formed an alliance.
Although he has started searching for the whereabouts of Sebastian-Xiao, it is more difficult to accurately locate Mutants in the absence of Professor Charles and Cerebro.
And artificial satellites will have to wait for the two superpowers to start an arms race before they are launched into the sky one after another.
What Project Insight, Global Surveillance, in this era, even science fiction novels would not dare to write like that.
As for contact with Atlanti, this is even more impractical.
It will be almost nine years before the first nuclear submarine "Nautilus" is launched.
Currently, the maximum depth that humans can dive does not exceed one thousand meters.
For an undersea civilization, this is a level that has not even been touched.
"So, technology changes life."
Luke sighed silently.
The technological development of this era does seem a bit behind compared to the future of steel armor and Helicarrier flying everywhere.
Therefore, he specifically told Howard to temporarily put aside his research work on Tesseract and shift his focus to Nuclear Fusion Reactor.
Make the nuclear submarines come out, and then consider launching satellites - anyway, SkyNet Corporation is just for communications.
In the future, if Kree's fleet invades on a large scale and destroys its own satellites, let Ronan the Accuser directly see what Superman's Iron Fist is.
Luke's vision has always been far-reaching, and he even thought about whether to let Howard shrink Arc Reactor.
In the future timeline, Tony-Stark's words "I am Iron Man" officially opened Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Rather than wait until that time, Luke thought it would be good to let Howard complete the matter.
We are all a family anyway.
As for the technical bottleneck problem, I believe it will be easily solved by visiting Wakanda first, and then establishing friendly exchanges and mutual help diplomatic relations with Atlantis.
These two countries, plus Fantastic Four's old enemy and Doctor Doom's hometown Latveria, can be called the place with the most black technology on the earth.
Not to mention nuclear fusion technology, time travel, Iron Legion, and spacecraft can all be produced.
"General, that's Lake Arkalia."
The accompanying Stryker said loudly.
The roar of the helicopter and the strong air current forced him to do this.
"What a nice place."
Luke Looking down from mid-air, the tall concrete dam is located among the snow-capped mountains and dense forests.
"This used to be an industrial area, but it was abandoned during the Great Depression. Later, it was spotted by the military and acquired in the name of building a dam."
Stryker explained in a hoarse voice.
In fact, Luke really wanted to say that he didn't have to shout so loudly, he could hear it himself.
Superman has never been deaf to this extent.
"After the Afterlife World War started, Department of Defense was worried that Third Reich would attack the mainland, and began to build strong and reliable military bases across the country. Lake Arkalia is one of them."
Stryker pointed at the concrete dam and said, "There are war materials stored deep in the dam, but unfortunately they are not used. Now that the war is over, these bases have lost their original role, and the generals of the Pentagon have taken over the distribution."
"Of course, only you, the general, have such dignity and are qualified to use a military base that is strong enough to withstand missile bombing as an experimental site."
Speaking of the latter, Stryker also deliberately praised it.
This man with thick eyebrows and big eyes has now learned how to flatter horses with his beard.
"It's just the generals giving me face."
Luke said modestly,
Who in the Pentagon doesn't know that this young major general, who has just taken office as Director of S. H. I. E. L. D., is very good at asking Congress for funds.
The "Rebirth Project" who cultivated Super Soldier, the "Weapon X" plan who studied Mutants, and the "Exploration Project" who tinkered with spacecraft... one after another, they almost drained the Budget Committee group.
The most annoying thing is that they couldn't refuse Luke's excessive demands.
Because those plans sound promising and worthy of investing a lot of money.
Howard, who learned the news, even made fun of Luke, saying that if he tried to fool Wall Street, he would definitely deceive countless investors.
In response to this, Mr. Major General smiled and said nothing.
I learned this skill from an entrepreneur who will return to China next week. First, draw a big pie, then hype the concept and find a few well-known scientists to support it.
White House and the politicians in Congress naturally paid for it.
Gathering the wool of capitalism, Luke said there is no psychological pressure.
"William, who do you think is the most worthy of training among X-Force?"
The helicopter landed slowly. Luke stepped on the soft snow and exhaled a white breath.
He was wearing thin clothes, but he didn't feel cold.
The tightly wrapped Stryker rubbed his hands and looked at the major general walking in front with envy. Is this the physique of Superman?
"Of course Logan!"
Stryker answered without thinking.
The same is Mutants. This young officer seems to have a soft spot for Wolverine.
Every time I see those bone claws, my eyes show a trace of desire.
So much so that when the Mutants brothers communicated in private, Sabretooth said that the dwarf scientist Bolivar was a pervert and always stared at him with strange eyes.
Wolverine thinks that the guy named Stryker is even more disgusting.
After the two brothers looked at each other, they both felt chills running down their spines.
I can't live this day!
"Logan. Are you interested in his self-healing factor?"
Luke is not surprising at all, Stryker and Wolverine are destined to be together.
"Yes. I think we can completely build Logan into an indestructible killing machine! Sabretooth is too violent, and his emotions will affect his judgment. But Logan is different. With his claws, the wildness in his eyes, and the stubbornness in his bones, he is simply born to fight!"
Stryker was very excited. He followed Bolivar to participate in the research and got to know Mutants better.
As a soldier, almost subconsciously, this young officer considered applying X-Gene to weapons.
"General, the Pentagon's attitude towards Mutants is actually far less... gentle than you."
Stryker followed Luke on the snow and asked in confusion, "Using Mutants for weapon research can yield more results in a shorter time. But you don't seem willing to do this."
After these days of getting to know each other, Stryker has figured out part of Mr. Major General's temperament.
In most cases, the other party is easy to talk to, and I never see him getting angry or angry.
But the strange thing is that this does not affect other people's respect and admiration for Luke.
Stryker attributes this to charisma.
"Third Reich's Fuhrer also thought the same way, so they used Jews and Poles to test poison gas and conduct human experiments."
Luke pushed open the heavy steel door and entered the flood control channel.
There is something else going on deep within this concrete dam.
All kinds of war supplies, ventilation equipment, weapons and ammunition are available.
It's almost like preparations for the nuclear bomb to take off and the end of the world to come.
"It's easy to sow a seed of hatred, but it's difficult to bring peace between two races."
The voice of Luke echoed in the empty Dam Base.
"I want to be a bridge, not a butcher."
ps: I'll post this much first, and I'll wait until I finish writing the rest (_)
