American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

"……According to the latest bill signed by the Department of Defense, the Osborne Corporation, which caused the appearance of the Monster Gate, must disclose all equipment and technical information related to the experiment to the Department of Defense and the military. Moreover, the Department of Defense has the right to invite relevant enterprises to participate…"

"……As the primary cause of the Monster Gate and all losses caused by the rampaging monsters, Osborne Corporation and its related insurance companies will be responsible for compensation. To this end, Osborne Corporation's funds will be frozen from this moment until the compensation is completed…"

"……Harry Osborne will face as many as 31 charges. The hearing regarding your explanation will be held in two days…"

"……According to the latest Overseer Act, Osborne Corporation will be subject to strict control from the Department of Defense from this day forward. All technologies and projects must be subject to the participation and supervision of the Department of Defense. During this period, there must be no concealment of the project goals and technologies of Osborne Corporation's established projects…"

"……"

The official personnel solemnly issued one notice after another to Little Harry, placing a document on Little Harry's temporary desk after each announcement. At this moment, the desk was already piled high with a thick stack, as thick as several dictionaries.

Little Harry's expression changed from anger at the beginning to indifference now. Susan and a group of scientists and engineers from Osborne Industries also showed a surge of shared hatred in this oppressive atmosphere. With just one move from Little Harry, this powder keg of anger would be ignited in that spark and explode.

The person who came to deliver the notice felt the oppressive atmosphere around him and knew very well where this oppressive atmosphere came from, but he remained expressionless and unhurriedly issued one official notice after another.

Only his voice echoed in the spacious office. Behind him was a group of heavily armed soldiers. Outside the building, tanks and helicopters surrounded the building tightly, and even the roar of fighter jets could be faintly heard.

In the silent atmosphere that lasted for thirty-one minutes, the official, wearing a military uniform with general's insignia, took the last document from the soldier behind him and placed it on top of the thick stack of documents on the desk.

"Robbers! Shameless!" Reed's voice rang out.

"Dr. Reed Richards?" The general looked at the man who was looking at him with a face full of anger and raised the corner of his mouth. "I have a few official documents for you here. Would you like to hear them?

You should thank Harry Osborne. He protected you. Otherwise, you shouldn't be standing here and yelling at me. You should be where you should be, receiving questioning and detention!

The Monster Gate appeared because of your experiment. Due to your experimental accident, we have suffered unprecedented and significant losses. We are currently trying to find a way to close it. You must promise the authorities that, from now on, you will never conduct advanced research with any uncertain dangers without permission."

"Any research involves risks…" Reed said, glancing awkwardly at Harry, who was sitting in the office chair, silent as if he had suffered a heavy blow, and retorted with wide eyes.

"But that's your problem, not mine! Isn't it?" The general easily threw the question back.

"Because of you, the whole world has fallen into great trouble, and the country has suffered unbearable losses. If I were you, I wouldn't be yelling here now, but would take on the responsibilities you should bear." The general snorted coldly after seeing Reed choked and unable to speak, and then left with his men.

"This is a demonstration! It's coercion! It's shameless suppression! They have always coveted our latest technology and are insatiable!"

When the general led his soldiers away, the atmosphere in the temporary office slowly came back to life. One of the middle-aged researchers complained angrily.

"Who doesn't covet Osborne's technology? We are almost single-handedly carrying the world's technology forward at high speed. Many people are holding us back. If it weren't for them, the changes we bring to the world would be even greater.

Those politicians don't know what they are doing at all! They will be the sinners of history!" An old man with a bald head, wearing a white coat, sighed, and his tone became a little excited as he spoke. His research was interrupted due to an accident. And looking at the current environment, it seems that restarting it will be very troublesome. This is a heavy blow to him, if not a catastrophe.

"There must be competing companies behind this. They have been so oppressed by Osborne in the past year that they can't breathe. From being on par with Osborne to having to rely on Osborne Corporation's breath. The shareholders of those companies probably hate us to the core.

They have also been the most crazy in attacking Osborne in private this year. This time, Osborne has given such a big opportunity, they will definitely add fuel to the fire and portray Osborne as the culprit of the world's demise." Another researcher snorted twice, aiming his resentment at another invisible group.

It must be said that Osborne Industries under Little Harry's leadership is an environment that every true researcher dreams of. There is no need to consider worldly matters, only ability and the knowledge one possesses. Osborne has an excellent talent evaluation standard model that exceeds all enterprises, and this model is rapidly evolving with the help of everyone, and finally becomes more and more mature, and it also makes them more worry-free.

Of course, conversely, the rights of other departments have been greatly weakened. But as long as the salary is enough, they will not cause trouble.

In the past year, Osborne has experienced a large number of commercial spies infiltrating. Except for a very few people with scientific research talent and talent who have stabilized, most of the spies in other departments have been identified one by one and then thrown out.

Reed and others listened to the arguments and vents around them, and felt a sense of heaviness that they had never felt before. In the past, when his research went wrong, it would at most affect a certain company or some people, but this time, the accident not only affected the company and other people, but even seemed to affect the world.

In any case, the scope of this accident seems to be too large. So large that even he was frightened and couldn't wait to quell it as soon as possible. He wanted to collect and observe more information about that alien space gate, but now it has been completely taken over by the military, and he is not even allowed to approach it. And after taking away all his research data on that alien space gate, he cut off all information.

While everyone was arguing, Little Harry was communicating with Big Harry using the Symbiote's network.

"I was too anxious after all," Big Harry sighed. "Osborne's rapid expansion, even though a large amount of technology and benefits have been distributed, and a group of people have been bound, there are still too many opponents.

If there is enough time and no accidents happen, we may be able to smoothly crush all the way to a solid foundation. But now an accident has occurred, and the backlash has come."

Big Harry couldn't help but think of Hyberion, which relied on technology to soar in his world. He originally planned to build Osborne into Hyberion in this world, but accidents always exist. The road of Hyberion is not something that everyone can successfully walk through.

"There is no problem with our plan. If we develop slowly, when that enemy finds us, we will have no power to resist at all. Even now, we are not without any power to resist, are we? We still have the power to negotiate and threaten," Little Harry comforted Big Harry. If it were him in the past who almost entered an extreme state, he might have already relied on his technology to retaliate and hang up the rebels to threaten them.

However, the monsters filled with psionic brilliance that came out of that [Gate] later made both Big Harry and Little Harry more cautious and watched.

Even the military's tough takeover was somewhat in line with the wishes of Little Harry. At least it allows them to stand outside the battlefield and observe the situation more.

"It's best to use it again when necessary. We need a [proxy] to maintain order." Big Harry has no awe of the authorities and the military. It's just that in another world, the existence of Hyberion and those transcendent forces is too strong, so strong that the behemoths of the past look cute and petite.

And Big Harry also saw various powerful technologies and transcendent powers in the Time Administration, so he didn't pay any attention to the official system of this world.

He was just depressed that he wanted to replicate Hyberion's path, but it failed.

At least in their world, let alone any giant company dare to secretly cause trouble for Hyberion, they would have long raised Hyberion to a different dimension. Even Osborne Corporation is just a replaceable part in Hyberion's interest ring.

……

A certain underground experimental base of the military.

The monster's corpse, which was annihilated by the army with saturated attacks and wiped out an area, was transferred here. This is where the official top talents gather. They have analyzed that there is some kind of incredible energy in the monster's corpse. This may be the key to allowing humans to evolve again, or even master extraordinary power!

At the very least, just the research on the monster's corpse can make this country's biological and other disciplines take a big step forward. Since the monster's corpse was transported here for dissection and analysis, there have been major and gratifying discoveries almost every day. This has made the authorities and the military have more ideas about the [Gate] in addition to joy.

For example, those who previously wanted to close it now have another voice internally. That is, why not leave this [Gate] and then scavenge more resources from that world, or even kill more monsters?

After all, the monster's whole body can be called a treasure. This is not a bill without economy, only investment. In order to obtain the ownership and management rights of the [Gate] and grasp all its information, various bills were quickly passed, and various agreements and benefits were quickly reached, so there was the scene that happened in the Osborne temporary building.

The military's intimidating posture is enough to illustrate the determination of those politicians from the side.

An army is stationed above this base as a guard force.

General Trek, the person in charge of the base and laboratory, looked at the monster researcher standing in front of him in some astonishment: "You said that the pituitary gland of the dead monster is still emitting some kind of information outward?"

"Yes, we haven't figured out the cause of this situation yet, but the other party's brain still has a certain degree of activity, which has just been confirmed. We are now trying to find some memories about the world it is in from its brain. If the extraction and conversion are successful, we will be able to grasp more information about that world," the researcher replied.

"Can the diffused information be deciphered?" Trek asked.

"This will take some time. A certain group of us is responsible for overcoming this problem. Many follow-up projects are waiting for their successful breakthrough," the researcher shrugged. If Osborne hadn't brought so many incredible technologies in the past year, and the authorities had ordered a lot of equipment from Osborne before, and the military had sealed and transported Osborne's own equipment, their research on monsters would not have been so fast and so confident.

And the more useful Osborne's instruments and equipment are, the more these people marvel at and covet Osborne's technology.

While the two were talking, an ear-piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the laboratory. General Trek and the researcher who was responsible for reporting the news to him looked at each other in astonishment. Under General Trek's eye signal, the researcher immediately used the laboratory's internal secret communication device worn on his wrist to inquire about the situation.

"……Our people have been eroded and polluted by unknown energy. Many researchers have gone crazy! Some have produced uncontrollable畸变! The ones with severe畸变are those who have been in contact with the monster's corpse for the longest time. The danger may come from the monster's corpse! We haven't found a way to curb the spread of this crisis yet……"

"……Damn it, I was bitten! They're all crazy!……"

The researcher looked at General Trek, who had a serious and cold expression, with a pale face.

"Didn't you do a good job of disinfection and protection?" General Trek signaled the soldiers around him to prepare their weapons and asked for support from the army stationed above the laboratory, while asking in a cold voice.

"The highest standard of disinfection and protection. We are also afraid of germs from another world. But it seems to have no effect," the researcher said, trembling.

"Damn it!"

General Trek cursed secretly in his heart. He hated this kind of sudden accident the most. Some of the people in the laboratory must be rescued. If they all die here, then their newly planned plan will inevitably be greatly adjusted!
