Superman of the American Comics

Chapter 100 Dam Base, Lake Akalia

Luke, who was staying in Washington, D.C., did not know yet that there was a new member of the Hellfire Club, the news of the alliance between Atlantis and mutants.

Although he has already begun to search for Sebastian Shaw's whereabouts, without Professor Charles and the brain wave augmentation equipment, it is more difficult to pinpoint the location of a mutant.

And artificial satellites have to wait for the two superpowers to start an arms race before they will be launched into the sky one after another.

What about insight programs and global surveillance? In this day and age, even science fiction novels dare not write like that.

As for contacting Atlantis, this is even more impractical.

It is almost nine years before the launch of the first nuclear submarine "Nautilus".

At present, the maximum depth that humans can dive into is no more than a kilometer.

For an undersea civilization, this is a level that has not been touched by the door.

"So, technology changes life."

Luke sighed silently.

Compared with the future of steel armor and space carriers flying around, the technological development of this era is indeed a bit backward.

So he specifically told Howard that he could temporarily put down the research work on the Rubik's Cube and shift his focus to the nuclear fusion reactor.

Get out the nuclear submarine, and then consider launching satellites—anyway, Skynet is doing communications.

In the future, if the Cree fleet invades on a large scale and destroys their own satellites, let the accuser Ronan directly show what Superman's iron fist is.

Luke's vision has always been far-reaching, and he even wondered whether Howard should shrink the Ark reactor.

In the future timeline, Tony Stark's "I am Iron Man" officially opened the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Instead of waiting until that time, Luke felt that it seemed good to let Howard complete the matter.

It's a family anyway.

As for the technical bottleneck, I believe it will be easy to solve by going to Wakanda first, and then establishing a diplomatic relationship of friendly exchanges and mutual assistance with Atlantis.

These two countries, together with the old enemy of the Fantastic Four, Dr. Dum's hometown Latvinia, can be called the place with the most black technology on earth.

Not to mention nuclear fusion technology, time travel, Iron Legion, and spacecraft can all be integrated.

"General, there is Lake Akalia."

The accompanying Stryker said loudly.

The whistling sound of the helicopter, coupled with the strong airflow, forced him to do so.

"What a nice place."

Luke looked down from mid-air, the tall concrete dam is located among the snow-capped mountains and dense forests.

"It used to be an industrial area, but it was abandoned during the Great Depression. Later, it was bought by the military in the name of building a dam."

Stryker explained hoarsely.

In fact, Luke wanted to say that he didn't have to yell so loud, he could hear it himself.

Superman is not deaf to this extent.

"After the World War broke out, the Ministry of National Defense was worried that the Third Reich would attack the mainland and began to establish solid and reliable military bases all over the country. Lake Akaria is one of them."

Stryker pointed to the concrete dam and said: "There are war materials stored in the depths of the dam, but unfortunately they have not been used. Now that the war is over, these bases have lost their original function, and the generals of the Pentagon will take over and distribute them." .”

"Of course, only you, the general, have such face, and you are qualified to use a military base that can withstand missile bombing as an experimental site."

Speaking of the latter, Stryker also deliberately flattered.

This thick-browed and big-eyed guy has now learned how to flirt with his beard.

"It's just the generals giving face."

Luke said modestly,

Who doesn't know in the Pentagon now, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who has not been in office for long, the young major general is very good at asking Congress for funds.

The "Rebirth Project" to train super soldiers, the "Weapon X" project to study mutants, the "Exploration Project" to tinker with spacecraft... one after another, they almost squeezed out the budget committee.

The most exasperating thing was that they couldn't refuse Luke's demands.

Because those plans sound promising and worth investing a lot of money in.

Howard, who heard the news, even made fun of Luke, saying that if he went to Wall Street, he would definitely be able to deceive countless investors.

In this regard, Mr. Major General smiled and said nothing.

This skill is learned from an entrepreneur who returns to China next week. First draw a big pie, then hype the concept, and find a few well-known scientists to stand on the platform.

The politicians in the White House and Congress naturally paid for it obediently.

Luke expressed that he has no psychological pressure to pluck the wool of capitalism.

"William, who do you think is the most worthy of training in Task Force X?"

The helicopter landed slowly, and Luke stepped on the soft snow and exhaled a white breath.

He was dressed thinly, but he didn't feel cold.

The tightly wrapped Stryker rubbed his hands and looked enviously at the major general walking in front. Is this the physique of a superman?

"Of course Logan!"

Stryker said the answer without thinking.

Also a mutant, the young officer seems to have a soft spot for Wolverine.

Every time I saw those bone claws, there was a hint of longing in my eyes.

So that when the mutant brothers communicated in private, the saber-toothed tiger said that the dwarf scientist Bolivar was a pervert and always stared at him with strange eyes.

And Wolverine thinks that the guy named Stryker is more disgusting.

After the two brothers looked at each other, they all felt chills down their spines.

This day is over!

"Logan. Have you taken a fancy to his self-healing factor?"

It's no surprise to Luke that Stryker and Wolverine are meant to be.

"Yes. I think Logan can be turned into an invincible killing machine! The saber-toothed tiger is too irritable, and his emotions will affect his judgment, but Logan is different. His claws and eyes reveal Wildness, stubbornness in the bones, is simply born for fighting!"

Stryker was very excited. He participated in the research with Bolivar and learned more about mutants.

As a soldier, almost subconsciously, the young officer considered applying the X gene to weapons.

"General, the Pentagon's attitude towards mutants is actually far less...gentle than yours."

Stryker followed Luke on the snow, and asked puzzledly: "Using mutants as weapon research can yield more results in a shorter time. But you don't seem to want to do this Do."

After these days of understanding, Stryker has figured out part of Mr. Major General's temper.

In most cases, the other party is easy to talk to, and has never seen anger or anger.

But the strange thing is that this does not affect other people's respect and admiration for Luke.

Stryker attributes this to charisma.

"The heads of the Third Reich also thought so, so they used Jews and Poles to test poison gas and conduct human experiments."

Luke pushed open the heavy steel gate and entered the flood control channel.

Deep in this concrete dam, there is another universe.

All kinds of war materials, ventilation equipment, weapons and ammunition are readily available.

It's almost like preparing for the launch of the nuclear bomb and the coming of the doomsday.

"It's easy to plant a seed of hatred, but it's very difficult to create harmony between two races."

Luke's voice echoed in the empty dam base.

"I want to be a bridge, not a butcher."

　ps: I will send so many first, and I will finish writing the rest (_)
