Marvel’s Speedsters

After leaving Magneto, John soon returned to the cutting-edge lab.

At this time, Ross was testing the Extreme Speed III equipment that was about to be successfully developed in the central computing area, and according to the instructions in advance, John went directly to the core simulation hall to report the situation.

As soon as he entered this hall, the light suddenly dimmed, and what appeared in front of the burning man was another world.

Under the cloudy sky, dazzling silver lightning shuttles through the dark ruins of the city, and pouring rain overhead, shrouding the whole world in a hazy mist.

John stood at the edge of the hall, although he was within the scope of the rain clouds, but miraculously not a single rain fell on him, and the freezing rain mixed with hail particles was obviously as imposing as the Milky Way, but it always kept a subtle distance from him.

The Burning Man knew that this was not the real world, but an extremely realistic illusion imitated, and the source of the illusion was the alien brain obtained from the second underground floor of Xavier College.

Professor X had been using it as a tactical training equipment to practice mutants’ superpowers and tactical combinations, and I am afraid that he had never thought of using this extremely amazing intelligent brain as a super simulator.

But it turns out that its research aids are excellent, far beyond what others think.

No materials, no labor, as long as the data is input, the target model is established, and then all the experimental processes will be automatically generated in the illusion, and the effect is basically equivalent to the actual operation in reality, without worrying about material consumption and accident risks.

In this era, large-scale computers have been able to carry out highly complex climate change, geology, astronomy, nuclear explosions and other phenomena can be calculated, the aerodynamic shape design of aircraft and cars can also be based on the calculation to simulate high-speed airflow, and then make various scale models to verify, which saves a lot of time and money for scientific research, but their limitations are also obvious.

Even if the current computer is strong in computing power, subject to processor speed and storage capacity, it is impossible to solve all problems, but to provide a relatively complete data basis for the test, but taking aircraft design as an example, in order to accurately simulate the specific impact of each air molecule on the aircraft, it is still not competent today, and eventually it still requires a huge wind tunnel test to finalize.

Geniuses such as Tony Stark, whose artificial intelligence did not realize that Iron Man’s armor would have freeze after rushing to the sky, which almost cost him his life, but if he had been using this brain, this risk might have been eliminated in time.

In the same way, without this brain, many studies in the laboratory could not be carried out, but with it, some projects that were otherwise difficult to complete have made substantial breakthroughs.

This was one of Ross’s important reliances, so he made it a top-secret area where only people who were very reliable and had a real need to be close to it could enter and exit the hall.

John is one of them.

This trust is more rare for young people than other rewards, so John has always been convinced that he is the boss’s most loyal subordinate.

Staring at the flickering lightning for a few seconds, John suddenly saw a flash in his eyes, feeling a little dizzy and nauseated, he knew that this was a hypoxia signal generated by the brain’s inability to process the massive amount of information pouring in at high speed in time, so he quickly looked away.

On the console twenty feet away from him, Ross was standing alone in the control zone, staring intently at the high-speed phantom, switching his perspective to subjective mode from time to time, and with it came more complex experimental data.

His eyes shimmered with golden brilliance, countless extremely subtle rays of light densely constituting everything in front of Ross’s eyes, connected by strict physical rules, each thin line represents the corresponding principle, through the calculation of the brain, the material structure of the macroscopic world continues to evolve in the illusion.

In the extreme speed, the new Type III equipment gradually revealed the characteristics different from the old model, facing the strong air current, countless large and small black spoilers exposed the surface like bone armor scales, and spread to the whole body in a very short time, even the mask was covered by a black exoskeleton.

This type can effectively reduce the wind resistance, thereby further increasing the speed of the user.

At the same time, it is also the lightest type of equipment so far, in order to get the maximum speed, Ross cut off all unnecessary functions, and its main means of defense will be to achieve the ultimate high speed, not thick armor.

One by one, the light jumped, the experiment gradually came to an end, and when the hideous armor that emitted light smoke came to a standstill, Ross was finally satisfied with the data he wanted to know.

Then he noticed the Burning Man standing at the edge of the hall.

“John is back.” Ross said casually.

“Please keep working, Pallas, I’ll go.”

“Yes, sir.” A pleasant female voice answered in the void.

This is the name that Ross gave to this wisdom brain, the same name as the Greek goddess Athena, who very much hoped that his wisdom brain would be as smart and powerful as the mythical goddess of victory and wisdom.

Leaving the simulation hall with John, Ross and the two returned to his office.

“It seems that the task has been completed smoothly.” From the young man’s expression, Ross could tell that the result was good.

“Yes, BOSS, I think Magneto is old, and listening to our arrangements is his best choice.”

The Burning Man is a little arrogant |, but the young man should be full of vigor.

In contrast, Toad Todd was a little unable to keep up with the situation, just like this time Ross ordered him to send a letter to Magneto, he grinded for a long time and did not dare to face the old employer, and finally sent John over, fortunately, the task of the burning man was completed well.

Ross is not annoyed by this small character flaw, everyone has his strengths and weaknesses, just choose a suitable field for him, Todd’s timidity can become cautious and reliable, and that is Ross’s responsibility.

Now is the time to redivide authority.

“I plan to separate the security department from the lab and create a new company to provide private security services |.” Ross handed over a cup of coffee, and John quickly caught it.

“What do you need me to do?” Due to his lack of social experience, John was a little dazed.

Ross gave him a rough explanation of the scope of the private security industry.

In the definition of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a private security company is a non-state-operated, for-profit company that specializes in providing armed and unarmed security services | private or government services, including |armed guards, patrols, bodyguards, escorts, etc., which are not much different from the public functions of the current laboratory security department.

The vast majority of private security companies, which are very small, often with fewer than 10 employees, provide the simplest security jobs such as nursing homes, and are mainly used by small companies, shops and even private homes, but are generally much more efficient than the police. Many large security companies have also grown from small ones, and once backed by military and government contracts, they can be called defense contractors like arms companies.

Ross’s choice of direction for the new company is, of course, the latter one.

“I want to divide the new company into two departments, one department is headed by Todd, and the team members are mainly ordinary people recruited from the outside world, handling the peripheral business of laboratories and related enterprises; The other is led by you to carry out the confidential actions I have entrusted to you. ”

“Can I pick a player?” John thought for a moment and asked.

“Yes.” Ross replied in the affirmative.

As the lab’s operations grew in scope, Ross had to make some changes ahead of time.

He needs a reason to show his personal power in front of the public without causing an overreaction from certain forces, and now is the best time.

Don’t forget, not long ago, he was assassinated in an attempted assassination, and it is normal to build his own defense force at this time.

“This is a chaotic era, scientific and technological progress has brought new opportunities to human society, but these opportunities are not shared by all members, some new extremist forces are rising rapidly, they will endanger the whole society, but also affect our safety.” But unfortunately, not every member of society can get enough help in time, and there are some people who are outside the protection of the government for various reasons, at this time, in order to protect society and ourselves, we need to build a new force, bravely stand up and assume the responsibility given to us by God! ”

Ross said in an aria-like tone, then clapped his hands, and his tone returned to normal.

“Just say that, you know what I mean?”

“Understood!” John nodded repeatedly.

Now the Burning Man is beginning to feel the interesting part of this task, after this packaging, a private armed force can appear in front of the public, and can be equipped with various equipment according to the law, as long as the action is controlled, do not make too much movement, even the government can not deal with it casually.

These are simply two extremes compared to the self-enclosed life of the monks of the previous academy, and they are not as offensive as Magneto.

“Well, are you willing to complete this task?” Ross asked.

John didn’t hesitate for a moment.

“Of course, BOSS.”

He stood up and said loudly that the Burning Man couldn’t wait to assemble his own team.

“What’s the name of the new company?”

“Watchmen.” Ross replied with a deep sigh.

“As for your department, it’s called Advanced Research Group Uniting Superhumans, abbreviated A.R.G.U.S.”

“Hundred Eyed Giant?” John was in good spirits.

In Greek mythology, Argus was a giant with a hundred eyes who could observe things and movements in all directions, and later generations used this as a metaphor for vigilant guards, clever guards.

Of course, Ross asked them to do more than the guards.

“You don’t have to participate in Watsonton’s affairs this time, first go to Central Asia and Africa to send some boxes.”

Ross ordered casually.

The Burning Man, who was looking forward to the mission, was stunned.
