Marvel's Speedster

After leaving Magneto, John quickly returned to the cutting-edge laboratory.

At the moment Ross was inspecting the soon-to-be-developed Speed ​​III equipment in the central computing area. According to prior instructions, John went directly to the core simulation hall to report the situation.

As soon as he entered the hall, the light suddenly dimmed, and another world appeared in front of Burning Man.

Under the cloudy sky, bright and dazzling silver lightning bolts shuttled wantonly among the dark city ruins, and heavy rain poured down from the top of the head, covering the whole world in hazy mist.

John stood at the edge of the hall. Although he was within the coverage of rain clouds, miraculously none of the raindrops fell on him. The freezing rain mixed with hail particles was as majestic as the Milky Way, but it was always with him. Keep a subtle distance.

Pyro knows that this is not the real world, but an extremely realistic illusion imitated, and the source of the illusion is the alien intelligence brain in the underground Tukang of Deshen Xavier College.

Professor X has been using it as a tactical training device before, to practice Mutant's super ability and tactical combination. I'm afraid he never thought of using this extremely amazing brain as a super simulator.

But it turns out that its research aid effect is very good, far beyond the imagination of others.

There is no need for materials or labor, as long as the data is input and the target model is established, then all the experimental processes will be automatically generated in the illusion, and the effect is basically equivalent to the actual operation in reality, but there is no need to worry about material consumption and accident risks.

In this era, large-scale computers can already carry out highly complex climate changes, geology, astronomy, nuclear explosions and other phenomena can be calculated, and the aerodynamic shape design of airplanes and automobiles can also simulate high-speed airflow according to calculations, and then make various scales. This saves a lot of time and money for scientific research, but their limitations are also obvious.

No matter how strong the calculation ability of the current 500 computer is, it is limited by the processor speed and storage capacity, and it is impossible to solve all the problems. It only provides a relatively complete data basis for the experiment. The specific influence of each air molecule on the flight device is still incompetent until today, and it still needs to spend huge amounts of wind tunnel tests to finalize the final shape.

A genius such as Tony Stark, his artificial intelligence did not realize that the Iron Man armor would be frozen after rushing to a high altitude, which made him almost lose his life, but if this intelligent brain was used at that time, this This risk may be eliminated in time.

In the same way, without this intelligent brain, many researches in the laboratory cannot be carried out, but with it, some projects that were originally difficult to complete have achieved substantial breakthroughs.

This is one of Ross's important reliance, so he made this place a top-secret area, and only very reliable people who really need to be close to this place can enter and leave the hall.

John is one of them.

This kind of trust is more rare for young people than other rewards, so John has always believed that he is the most loyal subordinate of BOSS.

Staring at the flickering lightning for a few seconds, John suddenly blurred his vision and felt a little dizzy and nauseated. He knew it was a signal of hypoxia caused by the inability of the brain to process the massive influx of information in a timely manner, so he Hastily looked away.

On the console twenty feet away from him, Ross was standing alone in the control area, staring intently at the high-speed phantom, switching the perspective to the subjective mode from time to time, followed by more complicated experimental data.

His eyes shone with golden brilliance, and countless extremely (beaj) subtle rays of light densely formed everything in front of Ross, connected together through rigorous physical rules, and each thin line represented a corresponding principle, passed through the brain According to the calculation, the material structure of the macroscopic world is constantly evolving in the phantom.

During the speeding, the new three-type equipment gradually revealed characteristics different from the old ones. Facing the strong airflow, countless black spoilers with large file sizes and small sizes were exposed on the surface like bone armor scales. It spread to the whole body in a short period of time, and even the mask was covered by the black exoskeleton.

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

At the same time, it is also the lightest type of equipment so far. In order to obtain the maximum speed, Ross cut off all redundant functions. Its main defense method will be to achieve the ultimate high speed, not thick armor.

Lights of light danced one after another, and the experiment gradually came to an end. When the hideous armor emitting light smoke stopped, Ross was finally satisfied with the data he wanted to know.

Then he noticed Pyro standing at the edge of the hall.

"John's back," Ross said casually.

"Keep working, Pallas, I'm off to Sunset."

"Okay, sir." A pleasant female voice answered in the void.

This is the name Ross gave this brain, which is the same name as the Greek goddess Athena. He very much hopes that his brain can be as smart and powerful as the mythical goddess of victory and wisdom.

Taking John out of the simulation hall, Ross returned to his office.

"It seems that the task was completed smoothly." From the young man's expression, Ross could see that the result was good.

"Yes, Boss, I think Magneto is old, listening to our arrangement is his best choice."

Pyro is a little proud, but young people should be full of vigor.

In contrast, Toad Toad couldn’t keep up with the situation, just like this time when Ross ordered him to deliver a letter to Magneto, he dawdled for a long time and didn’t dare to face his old employer, so he finally sent John over, fortunately Burning Man The task is well done.

Ross will not be annoyed by such small character flaws, everyone has his strengths and weaknesses, as long as he chooses a suitable field, Todd's timid and dull can become cautious and reliable, and that is exactly Ross' responsibility.

Now is the time to redefine authority.

"I plan to separate the security department from the laboratory and start a new company to provide private security services. Ross handed over a cup of coffee, and John quickly took it.

"What do I need to do?" Due to his lack of social experience, John was at a loss.

Ross briefly explained to him the business scope of the private security industry.

According to the definition of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a private security company is a non-state-operated, for-profit company that provides armed and unarmed security services for private or government individuals.

The services provided include armed guards, patrols, bodyguards, escorts, etc., which are not much different from the functions disclosed by the security department of the current laboratory.

The vast majority of private security companies are very small, usually with less than 10 employees, and they provide the simplest security work, such as guarding homes. The main customers are small companies, shops and even private houses, but their efficiency is generally higher than that of the police. Much higher. Many large security companies have also grown out of small ones, and once they are backed by military and government contracts, they can be called defense contractors, like arms companies.

Ross's chosen direction for the new company is definitely the latter.

"I want to divide the new company into two departments. One department is headed by Todd. The team members are mainly ordinary people recruited from the outside world to handle the peripheral business of laboratories and related enterprises; the other is led by you, and I will hand over the execution to you. secrecy."

"Can I pick a team?" John asked after a moment's thought.

"Okay." Ross replied in the affirmative.

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

He needs a reason to show his private power in front of the public without causing some forces to overreact. Now is the best time.

Don't forget that not long ago, he suffered an attempted assassination, and it was perfectly normal to build up his own defense force at this time.

"This is an era of chaos. 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 entire society and our safety. But it is a pity that 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 establish A brand new force, stand up bravely and take on the responsibilities God has entrusted to us!"

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

"Just say that to the outside world, do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood!" John nodded repeatedly.

Now Pyro began to feel the fun of this mission. After this kind of packaging, a private armed force can appear in front of the public in a grandiose manner, and can be equipped with various equipment according to the law. As long as you control your actions and don't make too much noise, Even the government can't handle it casually.

Compared with the self-enclosed life of the previous academic monks, this is simply two extremes, and it is not as offensive as Magneto.

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

John didn't have a hesitation for a moment.

"Definitely, BOSS.

He stood up and said loudly that Pyro couldn't wait to start his team.

"What's the name of the new company?"

"Watcher." Ross replied after a moment of thought.

"As for your department, we call it Advanced Research Group Uni Superhumans internally, and the abbreviation is A.R.G.U.S."

"Hundred-eyed titan?" John perked up.

In Greek mythology, Argus is a titan with one hundred eyes, which can observe things and movements in all directions. Later generations use it as a metaphor for vigilant guards and clever guards.

Definitely, Ross asked them to do more than the guards.

"You don't need to participate in Watsonton's matter this time, go to Central Asia and Africa to send some boxes first."

Ross ordered casually.

Pyro, who was looking forward to the mission with all his heart, was stunned. .
