Chapter 28, Interlude of Crisis
The night falls, the lights are on
Manhattan, New York is always brightly lit at night, and due to its proximity to the sea and wide waters, compared to cities like Beijing and London, New York's air quality is already considered very good, making the sky here present a kind of transparency. It’s pitch black, but the stars are still invisible, because the city is so bright, whether it’s the endless stream of cars or the row upon row of skyscrapers, the lights are always on.
Even in Manhattan, which has countless skyscrapers, the Stark Industries Building is one of the most gorgeous and beautiful.
Back when he wasn't Iron Man, Tony.Stark has always liked shiny things, so his building is like Iron Man's Mark series armor, full of necessary and unnecessary appearance lights, most of which can change as many as 250 six colors, even if It was midnight, and the number of people awake in the whole building might not be double digits, but it looked like a fiery tree and silver blossoms from the outside, extraordinarily gorgeous and moving.
When Captain America Steve.Rogers and S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick.When Fury got out of the car, he saw such a brightly lit night scene.
"...It seems to be almost as prosperous as before... It's hard to imagine that this place just encountered an alien invasion half a year ago, and a nuclear warhead exploded..." Looking at the bustling street scene around him, Captain America steve.Rogers couldn't help but sigh so much.
"...because this is New York, a city with some of the toughest citizens on Earth and the heartbeat of the global economy."
Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick.Fury replied, "... For decades, this place has been the main battlefield for the confrontation between the righteous camp and the evil forces. The flames of war have never been extinguished for a day. Mutant animals, super criminals, synthetic monsters, killing robots, terrorists, cultists... …There was a crazy professor who tried to use artificial rainfall to sprinkle special potions all over New York City, almost turning all New Yorkers into lizards ("Spiderman" plot).
In short, we New Yorkers have seen everything and are used to everything.When a city is destroyed, it is rebuilt. When a loved one dies, they are buried, and then they dry their tears and continue to live.Now even if you add aliens and nuclear warheads, it seems nothing special-strong New Yorkers will not be like those dwarfs on the Japanese island, who will cry and chatter after two atomic bombs... such cowards Do not deserve to live in this city of heroes! "
"...Uh, for some reason, I suddenly feel that compared with these modern New Yorkers, I really don't have enough experience as an old man."
Captain America, who is also a New Yorker (a New Yorker who has been frozen for 70 years before World War II), couldn't help but feel a little ashamed: Hey, listening to the description of the black and bald chief, the citizens who dare to continue living in New York these days , What kind of people are made of special materials?
Just as he was so sighing, another car was also downstairs in the Stark Industrial Building, and Professor Banner, the Hulk, came out of it.Seeing this, Captain America couldn't help but frowned, "...Is this posture... the assembly of the Avengers? Is it necessary? I heard that the aliens who visited this time are still polite? Could it be? ...You still have the idea of forcibly detaining them?"
"... I also feel a little puzzled." Professor Banner also asked in agreement, "... Wasn't the trouble caused by the Rubik's Cube last time not enough?"
"...Don't worry, I don't have such stupid and crazy ideas, but it's always right to be prepared for the worst, just in case."
Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick.Fury explained, "...the world is changing so fast, isn't it? At this time last year, no one could have imagined that the alien Thor and his brother who came down from the sky with a hammer would turn the world upside down. And no one thought that the World Security Council would order to drop a nuclear bomb on New York, killing 40 citizens of the country in one go, without taking any responsibility in the end...In short, you can never imagine what unimaginable enemies will appear in this world next moment, What absurd and crazy things are going to happen."
"...Yes! In the past, I never thought that I would become a green-skinned monster."
Professor Banner smiled wryly, "...well, I'll go up and watch those aliens for you, but don't expect me to take the initiative..."

At the same time, on the top floor of the Stark Industries Building, while waiting for the [space lifeboat] to return to Earth for the second time, Iron Man Tony.Stark finally fulfilled the previous deal and handed over the technology of making the palladium metal fusion ark reactor to Wang Qiu and his party.
In addition, because the old-fashioned Ark reactor made in the past was either destroyed by the nuclear explosion in New York, or it was still buried under the ruins of the beach house in Malibu, California, so Tony used the equipment and materials of the Stark Industrial Building to make a few on the spot. The palladium metal old-fashioned Ark reactor was given as a sample to Wang Qiu, who pretended to be Kryptonian Superman, and his party, and even generously allowed them to video the whole process for later imitation.
In this regard, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who have been monitoring by the side originally had a slight objection, because the leakage of cutting-edge technology has always been a taboo that needs to be strictly guarded against.
However, after they secretly made an emergency report to their superiors, Nick, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who was unwilling to cause trouble.Fury believes that, not to mention the unknown risks that will be brought about by rashly offending aliens, even on today's earth, the palladium metal ark reactor is a backward technology that has been eliminated, and there are several forces that have mastered this technology , it seems that it is not very cutting-edge, and SHIELD can't block it even if it wants to block it.
Not to mention that the other party is an alien who can come across the star sea. To them, the technology of the earth is almost like a child's toy. Any technological blockade against them is simply a joke comparable to North Korea's sanctions against the United States. Don't lose face to an alien planet anymore.On the contrary, the strange gadgets given to Iron Man Tony by the "Kryptonians" seem to be of great research value. We should try to find a way to see if we can ask for a few more.
In short, even though there are agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. watching over them all the time, Wang Qiu and his team have successfully obtained the technology of the palladium metal ark reactor, and after that, it’s none of their business—the old guys from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, if If you take the real object, drawings, notes and a full set of technical materials of the palladium metal ark reactor provided by Iron Man himself, but there are still no imitations in the cottage, then it is time to abdicate early.
Next, what they have to do in the Marvel world is to collect [-] reward points and rescue two survivors.
Moreover, more than half of this task has been completed—due to the dramatic changes in the plot, the total number of existing points has exceeded 2. It seems that as long as you work harder, you will be able to achieve complete success, but in which direction should you go? They worked hard, but it made them slightly troubled and scratching their heads: the plot of "Thor [-]" has been messed up, and God knows whether those dead house dark elves who have been sleeping for thousands of years will wake up now.
As for the rise of Hydra and the civil strife in S.H.I.E.L.D. in "Captain America 2", we will have to wait a year and a half later, and now there is no trace and nowhere to start.Even if the list of Hydra members lurking inside S.H.I.E.L.D. is revealed to Iron Man or Captain America, no one will believe it.Moreover, at this point in time, perhaps some future traitors may not have joined Hydra yet.
Therefore, for the time being, they can only wait for the return of the [Cosmic Lifeboat] while admiring the bright night view of Manhattan from the top of the building.
"...It's really unimaginable. This place was just hit by a nuclear bomb half a year ago, and the place under our feet is the heart of the explosion..."
Looking at the bustling streets around which were slightly depressed, but could no longer see traces of ruins, Li Wei couldn't help sighing sincerely, "...such exaggerated reconstruction speed and engineering capabilities...it seems that the Marvel world and the real world of the United States Humans are hardly a breed..."
"...Yes! In just half a year, a nuclear war ruin that was razed to the ground was rebuilt almost to the same level as before. Compared with the Fukushima radiation zone in our world, those Japanese should be ashamed to go Seppuku." Ma Tong also commented in agreement.
"...Don't underestimate the engineering capabilities of the Americans! They have been the world's factories for so many years! Before World War II, when the technical conditions were still very backward, American workers used only one year to build the factory at that time. The tallest Empire State Building in the world."
Political Commissar Guo added, "...in our world, because of the long-term comfort, the kidnapping of the government by the consortium, and the disaster of deindustrialization, the infrastructure of the United States has become increasingly backward and degraded. But in the Marvel world, those emerge in endlessly. The super criminals have imperceptibly stimulated the healthy development of the United States and kept them from degenerating in comfort—only the cruelest war and destruction are the best catalysts for human progress!"
——It is completely different from the slightly old New York cityscape in the real world. In the Marvel world, all kinds of infrastructure in New York City, from electricity, subways, tap water to the Internet, are so new that they can’t be newer, because they are basically unusable. It will be bombarded by super criminals in the past few years, and it can just be updated to use the latest technological achievements.The endless battles and destruction of superheroes and super criminals year after year, although it has brought great trauma and endless blood and tears to the city, it has indeed made the city of New York always change with each passing day.
Of course, there is a premise for the above situation, that is, even if it is bombed into ruins again and again, the status of the city of New York as a global financial center remains unshakable.Therefore, people from all over the world in the Marvel world have to pay endlessly for the reconstruction costs of New York...

On the other hand, the six original members of the Avengers, while patiently waiting for the return of the "Kryptonian" spaceship carrying Iron Man and Thor's girlfriend, couldn't help but discuss the latest abandoned building outside London. An anomaly about gravity and space in the factory.
——In the Marvel world, which is full of dangers and life is full of excitement, any strange abnormality may become the prelude to a catastrophe.
Moreover, Iron Man's trip to the UK this time, in addition to meeting Thor, also brought back another old acquaintance, who was once controlled by the evil god Loki to create an activation device for the space gate. Dr. Selvig, who has played a lot of roles among the stars, is Thor's girlfriend Jane.Ms. Foster's mentor is barely considered one of the super scientists in the Marvel world.
However, this bad old man is obviously even more weird than his disciple, Dang Jane.When Miss Foster traveled through space and got lost in the universe, Dr. Selvig took off his clothes and ran naked beside Stonehenge in Salisbury Plain with a bunch of strange instruments, attracting countless tourists to watch , and was arrested by the police for being indecent... Thanks to being discovered by Iron Man on the TV news, he was released on bail.
However, members of the Avengers know that the reason why Dr. Selvig is so crazy is not the onset of Alzheimer's disease, nor is it because he was overwhelmed by too many drugs, but because he was hit by the evil god Loki with the scepter. Knocked on his soul gem, affected by it, it was a blessing in disguise, and inexplicably understood many secrets of the universe that people on earth should not have known.However, due to the fragile mind of human beings, it is difficult to accept the direct indoctrination of a large number of alien knowledge, so Dr. Selvig's thinking was seriously confused, so that he was easily sent to a mental hospital.
However, Dr. Selvig is a unique professional expert in all mankind when it comes to the London anomaly that he is facing today. Al once told Dr. Selvig that he lived in Asgard, and mentioned one or two of the nine kingdoms, but at the moment the name of each kingdom is correctly written by Dr. Selvig on the blackboard.
Next, there is the theory that the universe cycles every 5000 years.To modern intellectuals, this sounds like a complete subversion of Copernicus' heliocentric theory, but it is an undoubted fact in the Marvel world-according to Dr. Selvig, and confirmed by Thor, in every In a round of cosmic cycle, the nine worlds will be arranged in a straight line for a brief staggering, which will lead to the convergence of the worlds - under normal circumstances, the worlds of the nine kingdoms are separated, but after the nine worlds converge , everything will be connected to each other.The nine kingdoms will all pass through each other at this moment, gravity, light, even matter, will squeeze from one world into the other.The spectacle of the convergence of these celestial bodies will form a boundary point on the earth, and this boundary point is usually unstable. If there is any accident at the boundary point where the celestial bodies converge and intersect, the consequences will be disastrous.
Unfortunately, there is not much time left until the "nine worlds" gather.And the demarcation point has also been determined, just in Greenwich near London-and this is the real reason for those strange phenomena before the abandoned factory outside London!
In fact, before and after the convergence of the nine worlds, similar supernatural phenomena would appear in many places around Greenwich.
"...But we don't need to worry, the gravimeter I made can stabilize the boundary points where these celestial bodies converge, so that those kingdoms will pass our world safely." Dr. Selvig said to the Avengers The superheroes patted their chests and promised, "...Now there are about two or three days before the celestial bodies of the Nine Kingdoms converge, and we have time to make preparations..."
"...Although I still don't quite understand what you are talking about, it does sound serious."
The red-haired black widow Natasha crossed her arms and muttered, "...I will report to the director and let him arrange countermeasures in the UK."
"...Actually, this matter is not that serious. The same reincarnation and vision happened once on Earth 5000 years ago."
Thor put it this way, "...the result is only a few half-truths and half-false myths and legends."
"...If necessary, I will also mobilize the Stark Industries Group to help you urgently manufacture the gravity measuring instrument that can stabilize the convergence point of celestial bodies, but that is the next thing, and now I need to meet my Women go home."
Holding the wine glass, Tony stood up, looking up at a small bright spot in the night sky that gradually became more eye-catching, "...Pepper is finally back!"
