Marvel World New Magneto

The Eastern Power Grid Corporation has a history of more than 100 years of construction and development. Initially, private and public electric power companies formed isolated power grids according to their respective load and power distribution. The current power grid has been formed. Among the three major combined power grids in the United States, the Eastern Power Grid is the strongest, and its electricity sales are the highest in the United States, reaching 73%.

This is a huge company, and the two unlucky guys who were slapped by Pietro were instructed by a shareholder of the company. It doesn't matter whether they have received special hints or whether they are for personal privacy.In fact, Eric doesn't care about the inside story. Since there will always be someone who will lose in a zero-sum game, and there is no other industry that can provide such stable and lucrative profits except the energy market, then he can only choose it to start up.

The other party rashly chooses to use this way of dealing with each other, and of course he must reciprocate in the same way.

Right now he was standing in the night sky over the Lake District near Scranton.

Scranton is a place with nothing to do but a very religious college. It used to rely on the coal mining industry as the mainstay of development, but since the development of heavy oil, natural gas and electric heating models, anthracite has been excluded. The mainstream of the power supply market, the population is also continuously decreasing. Today, there is nothing worth mentioning except that the US East Power Grid has a relatively important ring network power distribution field here.It was for this power distribution field that Eric had come from New York, 120 miles away.

Below him, a few oil-stained maintenance workers were passing by listlessly. The outdoor weather in late autumn was extremely cold, and their salaries were not high. Of course, their enthusiasm for service was not positive. After the inspection round.They didn't come out until midnight.

In this process, Eric has enough time to deal a fatal blow to the already dilapidated power grid.

"Look at these big guys, soon they will be blamed for their master's irrationality." He stood alone two hundred feet in the air.Appreciate the high-voltage transmission line towers not far from your feet, and the endless high-voltage lines pass through these standing steel towers. The 23-volt high-voltage current was sent from west to east to New York and Philadelphia, providing light and warmth for nearly ten million people in these two big cities.

Today, they will temporarily lose the convenience brought by modern technology. It may be a few hours or a whole day. Are the measures really that clever?

A gust of wind blew by, and a certain line swayed unexpectedly.It was connected with another line parallel to it, a burst of sparks burst out, and the world entered darkness.The metropolis two hours away by car is now a bustling scene of feasting and feasting. Under the cover of night, the city blocks are neatly divided into light and dark strips. The east is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, and the gentle night Surprisingly bustling and crowded.Different from the daytime, without the interference of other scenes, all the skyscrapers are more shining at this time, and the plaza below Rockefeller Center attracts people from all over the world like a chameleon.Various activities were carried out continuously, a dj was shouting to invite someone to come on stage, and suddenly the whole world lost its light.

"A power outage?" People have long been familiar with it.The strength of the superpower does not match the power grid of the third world. The government and the people have called for it for too long, but the operators of the power grid seem to have never made any substantial changes, but they still don’t know that this time they will be in the dark When will you stand still.

Impatient people began to curse, and words starting with f and s kept popping out. With the brilliance of the weak electronic equipment, the road surface and plants flashed faint reflections under the baptism of starlight and moonlight, as if the world had just Entering the road to hell, more people can only see the shadows of human heads shaking.But I can't see what they look like.

"Look, there's light there." Across the wide Hudson.A girl called out, pointing to the opposite bank, where the offices had installed a new solar system.Through the collection of sunlight during the day, it is now proudly exuding its brilliance in the darkness.

After a while, the self-powered buildings gradually returned to light, but the people nearby would never forget that moment. When it seemed that the whole world was plunged into darkness, the mutant building was still emitting light.

"What happened?" A high-level power grid manager hurried into the control room. There was electricity here, but when he looked out the window, it was already pitch black. He could imagine that there would be overwhelming criticism in the newspapers tomorrow. And those nasty hostile politicians who always want to show how much they care about people by blaming the grid.

Thinking of being surrounded by reporters tomorrow, he was so annoyed that his brain ached.

"The electricity is flowing back." The engineer dared not neglect, and replied in as concise a language as possible. "There is a power reversal on the line from West New York to Pittsburgh. Although the transmission power of this line is only 300 to 500 megawatts, after the reversal occurs, the power will increase to 1000 megawatts in an instant, which is equivalent to a large power station. According to our estimation, the slewing current may be as large as 3000 megawatts, which is a normal phenomenon in power accidents, and we are investigating as soon as possible."

"Fuck your normal phenomenon! Then check it out quickly and let the engineers go by helicopter. I need them to go through Pennsylvania along the line before they can come back." The executive roared. Of course, repairing by helicopter is fast, but it is also dangerous. It is very high, they need to hover over the wires all the time, so that the staff sitting at the door of the aircraft cabin can maintain it stably. It will result in fatalities.

This kind of rapid overhaul is expensive, and it is often only when the power grid is under great political pressure that the power grid will be unwilling to offer huge rewards to recruit death squads. However, the recent situation is different. The new plan of the manufacturing giant Stark Industries has directly Refers to the electricity market, as the eastern power grid with the highest share obviously bears the brunt.Not having an accident at this time is the greatest success, otherwise it will only give Stark's supporters an excuse.You must know that change always starts from a small place. A dam that has been stable for hundreds of years often bursts from an inconspicuous anthole. As an executive and shareholder, he must not see problems in his company at this time.

At this time, no one thought of Osborne. After all, the rooftop solar system seemed to be aimed at the civilian market in small and medium-sized cities rather than the large eastern cities with greater demand. Man created this blackout.

The maintenance team has been dispatched, but the bad news keeps coming.

Due to the heavy load of the entire power grid, dragged down by the accident of the important power supply system, the load of the entire network of the Eastern United States Power Grid suddenly increased, so the real accident finally showed its hideous head.From New York, Detroit and Cleveland to Toronto and Ottawa in Canada, more than 100 power plants in the United States and Canada, including 22 nuclear power plants, were automatically shut down for protection. The worst blackout in North American history came.

At the same time, in the Tricurved Wing Building at latitude 38n53'33.78", longitude 77s3'38.91, a one-eyed black man wearing a blindfold was silently standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows looking at the dim night scene outside, and the power had also been lost just now. Fortunately, there is no need to worry about the headquarters building of S.H.I.E.L.D. The lights, elevators, and defense systems are all running stably. As long as there are no foreign enemies invading, the indifferent face of the one-eyed black man will always remain firm and resolute.

"The matter is clarified." Agent Coulson knocked on the door, walked in after getting permission, and handed some faxed documents to the black director.

"Initially it was caused by a short circuit in the transmission line, maybe a tree branch was blown by the wind and hung on the high voltage line, causing the power to flow backwards. , More than 22 power plants, including 100 nuclear reactors, stopped operating, which is why such a large-scale power outage was caused. Experts concluded that this was an accident caused by inadvertent response, not an external attack.”

"That is to say, it wasn't caused by human beings?" the one-eyed black man flipped through the documents and asked.

"Basically, the possibility of someone's retaliation can be ruled out. Of course, you know, the whereabouts of that mutant are not easy to monitor. He usually stays in Manhattan at this time. His entire office building has been restructured, and we even doubt that the load-bearing The pillars have also been replaced, which means we have no way of listening, and no possibility of seeing through, and waiting on email and phone lines is the only way at present, but he does not seem to be the type of person who uses electronic tools very much." Cole Sen has done his best, but his goal is not extraordinary.

"It's really bad. During the day he clashed with the peripheral personnel of the power grid, and there was a big blackout at night. Do you think it was an accident?" The black man shook his head and did not ask Coulson to answer. "The last time I trusted someone, I lost one eye, and I've learned to be vigilant since then. Hopefully it's an accident, because we don't have the means to restrain him, and if this happens again, we'll have to Facing a terrifying enemy, which I don't want to happen, but I have to face, who made us S.H.I.E.L.D."

The black man rubbed the smooth glass window and murmured.

"We are the last line of defense, and we will burn ourselves to hold the last line, and this is the last line of defense that must be held."
