Marvel’s Speedsters

After some time, the new laboratory site in the upstate New York suburbs finally completed the design and officially began to break ground. Since Osborne had a history of development and construction in the area before he bought the land, it was not a wasteland, the foundation had already been laid, and the new building plan used relatively light metal and glass materials, so it would not be long before the entire laboratory could be initially completed and put into use.

In Ross’s plan, the new cutting-edge technology laboratory will be a majestic landmark, with an oval ring structure in the whole, a curved building covered with a glass curtain in the upper part, three blade-shaped towers that rise 230 feet tall at the end, and an idyllic exterior with parking, apron and other leisure facilities surrounded by green trees and lawns, which can be well integrated into the surrounding rolling mountains and woods. It is expected that after completion, the future can be accommodated. Six thousand employees will become Ross’s right-hand men to provide the necessary support for his ideas.

On this day, Ross stood on the nearby hills and looked at it from afar, while Connors and others behind him led a group of invited independent scientists to admire the prototype of the future laboratory.

As far as the eye can see, you can see the elegant surroundings, and the transportation is quite convenient, with the nearby high-end road network passing through the small city of Westchester, and even a light rail link south to the Bronx subway station in New York. Such conditions are very attractive, as far as Ross knows, after the Norman accident, many builders wanted to buy this property, they all wanted to build five or six hundred houses here, turn it into a large housing complex and sell it at a high price.

It has to be said that without the fall of Osborne and McCann’s private insider, it would not be easy for Ross to take this land.

Of course, the small town also has the local government’s considerations, and the development of residential areas will not add much to this suburban town favored by the wealthy, but if a high-level scientific laboratory is built, in addition to a large amount of real estate tax revenue, it can also create a lot of jobs every year, and will not serve the town. What pressure does the resource pose, so with the assistance of all parties, the land transfer is so smooth.

Connors and his friends chatted about Ross’s vision, and some of them became interested in the lab, and soon a fat man nearly six feet tall walked up next to him, and the two chatted.

“This place used to be the human body research institute of Trask Industries, and the dwarf scientist Bolívar Trask became popular in the seventies with cutting-edge biological research, and then was imprisoned for persecuting mutants and involved in a serious political incident, and it has been abandoned ever since. Osborne bought it a few years ago and wanted to transform it into a new industrial area, but soon there was a scandal as serious as the Green Goblin, and now it is in Ross’s hands, hoping that you can develop this place again. ”

Connors’ friend Otto Octavis, a scientist with a talent for nuclear physics, knew that Otto had been trying to find a way to create new energy for years, but was short of funds, so he invited him to Ross.

For this gentleman, Ross is of course very welcome.

In fact, he also knew Otto’s other name—- Dr. Octopus.

In the original timeline, the doctor was funded by Harry, the new head of Osborne, after Norman’s death, to research new energy machines for Osborne, but because he was too careful, he calculated the revelation, lost his beloved wife in a failed nuclear fusion accident, and was also confused by runaway artificial intelligence mechanical tentacles, becoming a dangerous super criminal, relying on robbery to continue his research work.

Originally, Otto’s fate was very bleak, but now that Harry has planned to withdraw from Osborne’s quagmire, naturally he will not pay a lot of money to sponsor his research, and the only one who can support him is Ross, who has long hit his idea. After all, Otto’s invention still achieved considerable results later, but it was bad luck, and he was disturbed by Peter’s little spider and failed to really improve the new energy.

Now with Ross, presumably Otto will not repeat the same mistakes.

Along with Otto, there are some familiar names, including Eric Selvig who studies astrophysics, Samuel Stern and Maya Hansen, who specialize in biological genetics, and young Korean geneticist Helen Cho, these are people who Ross knows are involved in the future of some strong people, but Connors has such a wide network and invited these people together, and he even invited another alumnus, Reed Richards, who had an argument with Ross in Central Park, This gentleman is also hungry for money, but just before today, Reid was lucky enough to receive funding from his college classmates, so he can only apologize for missing out.

Watching such a group of talented people gather, no matter how many of them are willing to join the cutting-edge technology lab, Ross will raise his hand to welcome it.

Walking back to the middle of the lawn, the waiter was ready to dew. The tables, chairs and cutlery of the day drinking party, a dingding white parasol propped up, covering the midday blaze. The hot sun and the mellow aroma of wine wafted around, making people feel like they wanted to be intoxicated.

“Gentlemen,” Ross said, glancing at Peter who was in the crowd, not piercing the guy who wanted to take the opportunity to cover the news.

“Dear everyone, just now Dr. Connors has introduced our vision for the future, in fact, as he promised you, we are expected to make achievements in gene biology, new energy and new materials, in addition to these main directions, we will also increase investment in other basic research in the future, in order to better contribute wisdom to the world.”

“Unlike a few decades ago, today’s scientists are facing more complex problems that will have a profound impact on the global economy and the environment, such as energy, pollution, human evolution, smart engineering… At the moment, there are many questions for these aspects that we do not know the answers, but we know that the most promising way to find answers is to get first-class researchers in. Join a first-class lab and inspire them with a sense of urgency to build the best research teams, integrate the expertise they need, look at these problems from multiple perspectives, and create the smartest and most practical solutions. ”

“Some people may wonder why we built such a laboratory to put the giant . Is the purpose of investing large sums of money in unpredictable research activities for profit, or is it just part of the interest? I would say that both are part of each other, but neither is true. In the course of my collaborative research with Dr. Connors, we noticed that the impact and penetration of science on modern society has continued to deepen over the years. Entering and at the same time in this process, the friction between science and the traditional values of society. Rubbing is also increasing. While maintaining a high level of trust in science, the public has gradually begun to resist controversial technologies, accusing us of becoming vassals of power or speaking for capital, and this resistance is increasingly becoming a resistance to the development of cutting-edge technology. ”

“In the efficiency-oriented financial world, companies are reluctant to invest in basic research, and governments are equally powerless in the face of their own fiscal problems. But without basic research, you can’t create new products that give birth to new industries and create great new jobs. So when we realized that, we realized that it was a big task, but it was also a huge task. We can use our unique resources to bring together talents from academia and industry, gather a group of highly intelligent and highly educated geniuses, and bring together a strong curiosity and work ethic to solve the major challenges of our time. ”

“To that end, we’ve built this cutting-edge technology lab, a new, open approach to teamwork, a large number of state-of-the-art laboratories and experimental equipment, and most importantly, we have sufficient funding to ensure that these key factors can be followed for years or even decades.” But this laboratory is not enough for us alone, and the inventor alone burns life and is not as good as a group of brilliant experts working together, so I hope you can join us and be fascinated by us. The human world is energized. ”

After speaking, Ross raised his glass and paid tribute to the top scholars from all over the world.

These so-called independent scientists are scholars who do not get or do not want to receive external funding for various reasons, and now Ross’s words have opened another door for them, so these people have come over and take turns to explore with Ross. Ross patiently answered the questions of how to cooperate one by one, and some questions that were not considered or could not be decided for the time being were written down and discussed later.

While he had time in between, Connors secretly pulled Ross aside.

“Ross, the previous statement is very good, but how do you solve the best equipment you said? I’ve asked manufacturers that their orders are already in a year’s time, and if they are to be put into use, they will have to wait at least a year to get the latest supercomputer, otherwise we will have to rent the computing resources of other institutions, but that will be very troublesome to operate. ”

“Don’t worry, Doctor,” Ross touched his glass comfortingly, his eyes sweeping over the distant town and looking out at the Mutant Academy in a remote corner.

“What we need will be the best in the world, I can feel it, it is waiting for us there, and now all we have to do is hold on for a little longer, I promise you.”

The two toasted and drank together, then Ross turned to face another guest.
