Chapter 580: "Iron Man 3" Begins
Chapter 13, "Iron Man 3" begins
A sudden cold snap caused the temperature in the northern part of the United States to drop by nearly [-] degrees Celsius overnight, and it also made this remote farm in Montana, which was almost covered by goose feather snow, turn into a desert. A world of ice and snow covered in silver.
The farm went from being almost isolated to completely isolated as roads were buried by snow.Although there is technical support from another world, for the sake of confidentiality and safety, Wang Qiu and the others can only get some outside news through intermittent satellite TV and radio broadcasts—in this desolate place. , Of course, there will be no Internet, not even a mobile phone signal.
At this very moment, Wang Qiu, Ma Tong, Commissar Guo and others were staying in the farm hut that was almost buried by heavy snow, sitting around a newly bought kotatsu stove, turning on the kerosene stove to the maximum, Then while eating hot hot pot, while watching various news on TV.
Although half a year has passed since the vigorous battle of New York, the major media are still reporting a series of bad news of chaos and collapse from time to time, as well as crime news of all kinds of strange superpowers.The entire United States, and even the entire world, are in a state of panic.
In addition, the global financial turmoil caused by the alien war in New York and the nuclear explosion in Manhattan is still unabated—Wall Street, the financial heart of the world, is still a nuclear-contaminated area.Although it is said that relying on the black technology urgently invented by a super scientist, today's Manhattan Island has initially eliminated nuclear radiation.The government department of New York State vowed to declare that the radiation level in New York no longer poses any threat to the health of ordinary people, and it can be put into reconstruction work.But in fact, not to mention those consortium bosses who are pampered and honored, even the executives and white-collar workers of major financial companies dare not come back to work in this place, and would rather conduct "remote control" in other cities.
In the same way, now that even Wall Street is gone, all kinds of futures indexes, stock market quotations and foreign exchange transactions are all messed up.Some of the banks had their computers destroyed in the nuclear explosion due to lack of data backup. As a result, even the accounts are now ruined.What followed was naturally a massive economic crisis and a series of mighty bankruptcies, closures and unemployment, which made the White House even more distressed.
Don't forget, the United States in the Marvel world is far more powerful than the United States in the real world, and New York is also a true global economic barometer and financial center.Now that this center has been taken down by the alien army and the earth's nuclear bomb, the global economic turmoil caused by this is naturally conceivable.
On the other hand, the tragedies of various radiation sicknesses have also emerged in more and more New York citizens.To be honest, the [-]-ton-yield tactical nuclear weapon ordered by the World Security Council itself would not have caused such serious nuclear pollution.After a few heavy rains, the amount of nuclear material remaining in it was almost washed away.But the problem is that in downtown Manhattan, New York, in a research institute not too far from the center of the explosion, there is actually an experimental nuclear reactor and a large number of nuclear fuel rods stored in lead tanks!
As a result, when a tactical nuclear weapon exploded, it was equivalent to triggering an oversized "dirty bomb", which lifted a large amount of radioactive material out of the reactor, and then projected it into the air, causing a dust pollution with nuclear radioactivity , resulting in catastrophic ecological damage.
Being injured by something like nuclear radiation, you don’t feel much at the beginning, but after a period of time, the skin and organs of the severely injured person will start to fester, and the functions of various parts of the body will lose one after another, and finally they will be like a pile of blood. Rotten flesh; even the lesser radiation sickness sufferers develop cancer over a period of years to months, albeit a slower but no less painful death all the way.
Of course, in the Marvel world where technology has developed abnormally, radiation sickness is no longer an incurable disease, but at least the poor still cannot cure it.
What makes New Yorkers feel infinitely sad and indignant is that in the face of an astonishing number of claims, major financial insurance companies either went bankrupt or invariably issued "war exemption" clauses, refusing to bear all losses.As a result, tens of thousands of New Yorkers lost their homes and jobs at the same time, were homeless, and suffered from radiation sickness, but could not afford medical expenses, and could only wait to die in pain and despair.
——The United States in the Marvel world is the same as the United States in another world. There is no free medical care and universal medical insurance.The companies that provided commercial medical insurance either went bankrupt during the New York War, or brought up the "war exemption" clause to renege on their debts.
Obviously, no one in the world is willing to die obediently. Desperate people held up signs and banners and organized a big march to Washington, but they were bloody suppressed by tanks, armored vehicles and helicopter gunships. They denounced them as mobs with one voice.
"...This is the greatest advantage of American democracy and market economy! When something goes wrong, no one will ever be able to take responsibility. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia's population continued to decline, and no one would say that it was the fault of democracy and freedom The per capita food possessions of India, a large democratic country, is actually lower than that of China during the three-year difficult period, and even lower than that of North Korea, where the people are said to be in dire straits, and no one will say that India is experiencing a famine.
Because under the conditions of American-style liberal democracy and market economy, dying of starvation is your own problem, not the government's fault.You will never find anyone who can take charge, or who is willing to take responsibility for it.Since you voted for the president, it's your fault if you starve to death.
In short, demonstrations in socialist countries, and even excessive behavior during demonstrations are just, because the government has responsibilities to all citizens.In a capitalist country, going to the streets to work and ask for bread is an act of making trouble out of nothing, because the government has absolutely no responsibility.You can only stay at home quietly and commit suicide instead of going to the streets to find trouble with the government.The government has never been obliged to let you live. "
Regarding this, Political Commissar Guo commented sharply, "...this will greatly improve the stability and unity of society, won't it?"

In addition to the aftermath of the New York War, other images that are more familiar to travelers also appeared on the TV news screens this winter.For example, a mysterious guy who dressed like an ancient Chinese, led a group of Arab religious armed terrorists, and claimed to be "Mandarin", began to frequently invade the TV network system, and released various propagandas to vent anti-American sentiments video.
At the same time, a series of bombings began to occur across the United States. In addition, a series of kidnappings and beheadings against Americans occurred in the Middle East-in the troubled Marvel world, bombings and terrorist killings themselves are not Not surprising, after all, even New York will have a mushroom cloud.The problem is that the "Mandarin man" took responsibility for it, claiming that it was all his declaration of war on the United States of America.So it became a hot news for a while.
Various media have different opinions on the true identity of the "Mandarin", the forces behind the scenes, and the means by which he invaded the TV channel.
In addition, an arms group called AIM has also frequently appeared on economic and financial programs, and it is said that it has received large orders from the military.
Of course, for the traversers who have already watched the entire series of Marvel movies, the truth of all this is obvious
"...Although the directional blasting of the Stark Industrial Building we conducted in New York changed the trajectory of many things. But the plot of "Avengers 1" is still completely over, and we will enter "Iron Man 3" next ...No! It has already entered the plot of "Iron Man 3"."
Wang Qiu sighed and said, "...If the plot remains unchanged, then on Christmas Eve this year, the boss of AIM and the creator of 'The Mandarin', Aldridge Killian, will be armed Helicopters, rockets to Tony. Stark's beach house."
"...Speaking of which, Tony has a lot of good things in that villa on the coast of Malibu, California! There are at least dozens of Iron Man suits alone! I don't know if we can take advantage of the villa this time. The chance of being bombed down, how many sets can we get out from under the ruins to play?"
Tang Marie, a one-legged woman, licked her lips and said with sparkling eyes, "...Last time in Manhattan, New York, although I got the Ark reactor and individual equipment for aliens, I couldn't get a set of Iron Man Battle clothes, it really makes people feel a little regretful!"
"...and the big villain in "Iron Man 3", Aldridge. The 'Extreme Virus' created by Killian is also very interesting. Not only can it regenerate severed limbs, but it can also make living people breathe fire !Even warms the palm to the point where it melts steel! It's amazing!"
Uncle Chen Ping also echoed with interest, "...It's really hard to understand how this is done! We humans should be organisms rather than metal robots, right? And after the heat is over, we can actually change back! This It’s like turning a human into a small Godzilla! Why don’t you try it out? Well, it’s just that after injecting a virus, it turns a living person into a bomb. It doesn’t feel so good…”
"...Yeah, yeah! In the Marvel world, there are so many good things of all kinds!"
Ma Tong, who came into this world later, also shook his head and said, "...For example, Natasha, the black widow who is always young, her anti-aging technology is very eye-catching! She is obviously an old man in her 70s and [-]s." Ma'am, you have been flirting with so many superheroes all year round..."
She stroked her face and said yearningly, "...if I could get this thing, how great it would be..."
Seeing the ignorant looks of these three guys, Wang Qiu and Political Commissar Guo exchanged glances, and couldn't help but smile wryly: "...Oh, how naive! The things you are talking about are not commodities in supermarkets. We can choose whatever we want. Do you think that in this Marvel world full of strong men and dark scenes, we can easily do whatever we want? [Super Time Stop Watch] is not a panacea!"
