Tony? Stark was right when he said that he had prepared a means of transportation to Rome. An anti-gravity sports car was the means of transportation for this trip to Rome. Ever since Ark Energy began to be commercialized, the anti-gravity sports car had been the next generation of transportation that Stark Industries was pushing.
This new car had already been demonstrated at Tony's new energy conference. This anti-gravity sports car would go on sale all over the world this summer. This was because of the sports car's cool appearance and explosive performance. Stark Industries had already received an avalanche of orders for it.
The car had already sold 50,000 units in advance before it even went on sale. It was likely that this anti-gravity sports car would only be a toy for the rich for a long time to come. But that didn't mean that other traditional car companies could rest easy.
Because of the emergence of new energy, the impact on the car industry was probably second only to that of the energy industry. The era of reform for the traditional car industry was about to arrive!
Li Jie also had an anti-gravity sports car like this. It was a gift from Pepper Pepper, who had facilitated the secret alliance between Stark Industries and the Osborne Group.
But because the car was so eye-catching, Li Jie had always parked it in the garage and never driven it out. The only time Loki had secretly driven it was last time.
Of course, as Iron Man Tony, how could he use the same things as others? How could Stark use the same things as others? Those things that could be bought casually didn't reflect his taste. Don't forget that he was a world-class scientist.
When a scientist has an astronomical amount of funding to squander, they often point out amazing technology trees, good or bad.
For example, Li Jie wasn't surprised at all that Tony's sports car could fly at Mach 7.5. Everyone knew that Tony was a speed maniac.
Even his Iron Man Armor was constantly being modified and required to be faster and faster. Perhaps for Tony, it was difficult to apply the speed of Mach 7.5 to the Iron Man Armor, which was limited in size.
But it wasn't difficult for him to design and build such an anti-gravity flying car. The straight-line distance between Rome and New York was 6,883 kilometers.
If they had taken an ordinary civil flight, this journey would have taken more than ten hours. However, with the help of Tony's new means of transportation, Li Jie and the others arrived in Rome in less than an hour.
"When did you learn how to make cloaking devices?" During the flight, Hank was a little surprised at how complete Tony's car was. It even had a stealth field.
"I learned it when I saw you dismantle my Iron Man Armor and assemble the Invisible Field in Hell." Tony said calmly, as if learning a high-tech invention after reading it once was not a big deal to him.
"Of course, I've made some better improvements on that one. What you did last time was probably just a simplified version of the PhD. Maybe when we have time, we should go to the laboratory and have a good talk about this. "
Hank shook his head helplessly. Tony? Stark was a genius in every way.
Rome, a city that played an important role in the history of the Western world. It was once the capital of the Roman Empire and the political, cultural, and economic center of the entire Europe.
At the same time, countless sages of the Western World expressed their enlightening thoughts here. For the Western world, all roads lead to Rome was not a simple proverb.
It also represented the civilizations that originated in the Mediterranean. Rome was the place where their ideas and souls were born. Many of Rome's ideas and ideologies also laid the embryonic form of modern Western society.
Today's Rome was no longer as glorious as it used to be. It had become a world-famous tourist city. But it was hard to imagine that in the depths of this modern city, there was another city. Another city called the Immortal City.
"It seems that this place doesn't live up to its name. It's called the Immortal City, but it seems that it has decayed." When Li Jie and the others saw Tony activate the special switch and enter the city through the secret passage, Li Jie and the others were shocked.
What he saw was a scene of dilapidated walls and broken walls. It was obvious that this underground city used to be very prosperous. It had well-designed streets and marble paved paths.
Granite was precisely cut to the right size and used to shape the artistic walls in the square. There were also street lamps and baroque buildings on both sides. This underground city used to have a complete ecosystem because broad-leaved trees were planted on both sides of the road.
However, all this prosperity seemed to have passed. The first to collapse should be the ecosystem. When the ecosystem could no longer function normally, the broad-leaved trees and other vegetation were the first to lose their vitality.
The buildings that should have been beautiful were now dilapidated and the marble-paved roads were full of potholes. Above the dome of this underground city, there was a large area of scorched black marks.
But surprisingly, even so, the city's power system was still working. When Tony replaced the city with his new energy module, there were still many lights that lit up.
"It seems that there was a war here." Li Jie looked around and said.
"Yes, the Holy Shield Brotherhood seemed to have been in a war. An internal disagreement caused them to split into two factions. After that, there was a fight. But regarding this issue, my father's notes did not record it in detail. He seemed to have stopped here. All I know is that before 1955, the Holy Shield Brotherhood still existed in this world. "Tony looked at the completely deserted Immortal City and sighed.
"But what happened in 1955 and what happened afterwards, my father's notes did not mention it."
"So your father was also a member of the Holy Shield Brotherhood?" Charles looked at Tony and asked.
"Yes, he was always. The Holy Shield Brotherhood adheres to the secret and ancient tradition. They keep everything they do, know, and think secret. Secrecy is the basic rule of this organization. And it was from this organization that I got the idea to establish the Illuminati. "
"Tony, you just mentioned that S.H.E.L.D. has something to do with the Holy Shield Brotherhood?" As a member of S.H.E.L.D. and the leader of the Avengers, Charles was very interested. Captain Charles was very interested in what Tony had just mentioned.
"Yes, not only is it related to the Holy Shield Brotherhood, but even your birth is inextricably linked to this organization." Tony glanced at Captain Rogers and said slowly.
"Super Soldier Serum, the Infinite Serum in S.H.E.L.D., these seem to be the products of the Military's Super Soldier Project. But the truth is not necessarily like this, Captain Rogers. "Tony? Stark seems to have mastered a big secret.
"Many people think that Captain Rogers is the only one who has succeeded in the Super Soldier Project, so you are a special case. Everyone thinks that the Infinite Serum is a by-product of the Super Soldier Project, a product developed by the National Strategic Science Bureau. "Tony smiled.
"In fact, they are all wrong. The Super Soldier Project has never succeeded. The most successful example is the creation of Red Skull. If the research and development of the Super Soldier Project continues, in addition to producing more Red Skulls, another Captain America will not be born. "
Li Jie was a little stunned when he heard this, and Captain Rogers looked even more confused, "But didn't I succeed? This proves that Dr. Erkins' plan is still feasible. "
Tony shook his head, "His experiment has never succeeded. The formula of the Super Soldier Serum was wrong from the beginning. And you, Captain Rogers! Everything about you is not the crystallization of military technology. It is the choice of the Holy Shield Brotherhood! At that time, they chose you to save the world! "
"Countless seemingly subtle coincidences are the result of repeated calculations. Some of the subtle changes in your Super Soldier Serum were not a gift from the heavens by chance. The accidents in the experiment are not so simple. The Holy Shield Brotherhood chose you as the savior of the world at that time. Don't you think that you were like a god at that time? Just like the protagonist in the TV series, omnipotent! You can overcome all the difficulties. "Tony's words were surprising and even shocking.
"Of course, I don't mean to belittle you, Captain. Because you were the only one who could do those things back then, the Holy Shield Brothers chose you. They did help you a little in the dark. "
Rogers seemed a little puzzled. In fact, it wasn't just Rogers. Li Jie, the professor, and Hank were still confused. What kind of organization was the Holy Shield Brotherhood?
"So, what is this Holy Shield Brotherhood that you mentioned?" Li Jie asked the most important question.
Tony clapped his hands. "An organization, an extraordinary organization. The most brilliant thinkers and scientists you can think of in the human world were once members of this organization. Until its disappearance in 1955, they were the most prominent organization in the world. "
"Members of the organization include famous figures in history, such as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Copernicus, Newton, Tesla, and the most famous Eastern members were Mo Zi, Zhang Heng, Lu Ban, and so on. This is an extraordinary organization. "
"And there is only one meaning behind their formation: our world should not die!"
"In 2620 BC, humans encountered the first mutant invasion, and the earth almost fell. Imhotep waved his spear and shield and led the army to defeat the invading mutants. The whole of Egypt was dyed red with blood, and there were countless corpses under the pyramids. However, Imhotep concluded that this mutant invasion was just the beginning. Under his leadership, an organization that pursued the continuation of human civilization began to form. "
"Perhaps the exchange and collision of ideas between the East and the West was much earlier than what we learned in history books."
"And when he died, the spear and shield he left behind became the organization's keepsakes. That shield was once embedded in the dome! "Tony pointed to the top of his head.
There was no sign of a shield on the dome at all, only a few potholes.
"What about his spear?" Li Jie suddenly felt that what Tony said was very interesting.
"The spear was in the hands of the Eastern Brotherhood members, and the most famous holder was Zhang Heng during the Han Dynasty in China. It was said that he once held a spear in his hand and conversed with the gods. But what they talked about, no one knew. After that, the whereabouts of the spear became unclear. "Tony shook his head, indicating that his father's notes did not mention anything more.
"My father met many people after he joined the Holy Shield Brotherhood, people we thought should have died long ago. Including the most famous Isaac Newton? At least until 1955, Newton was still alive in this world! "
"That's impossible. Newton should have died in 1727!" Dr. Hank suddenly felt that Tony was talking nonsense.
"Doctor, some things may not be that simple. For example, the true formula of the Super Soldier Serum and S.H.E.L.D. Infinity Serum came from Newton. But my father didn't know much because his rank in the Holy Shield Brotherhood wasn't that high, "Tony said seriously.
"My father left me a lot of information, but he also left me a lot of mysteries. S.H.E.L.D. was formerly known as the National Institute of Strategic Sciences. It was after 1955 that S.H.E.L.D. was officially established by my father. I am not sure what happened within the Holy Shield Brotherhood at that time. But one thing is certain. Almost all the members of the Brotherhood were either dead or missing. "Tony continued with the information his father left him.
"It is hard to say why my father pushed for the establishment of S.H.E.L.D... But there is one thing I am certain of. Because my father and I both believe that the first invasion was not the end. It was only the beginning."
Tony looked at Li Jie with a serious expression. "So, after you told me your crazy ideas, I did not refute you. Because I believe that we are always facing greater difficulties. This is also why I wanted to establish the Illuminati. Now that the Western Shield is broken, I am not sure if the Eastern Spear is still sharp. I am not even sure if they still have the spear, or if the spear, like the shield, has disappeared. "
Li Jie took a deep breath. He felt that he had received too many shocks recently. This world was much more terrifying than he had imagined. If Kamateki's sorcerers were defending against attacks from the mystical side on Earth. Then the Holy Shield Brotherhood was probably defending against attacks from the scientific side on Earth.
Li Jie could not guess what kind of attack this city had suffered to turn it into this. What kind of people used to live in this city?
The most brilliant thinkers, the greatest scientists, the wisest philosophers in human history. Perhaps this city was home to the smartest people in the world. They chose to be secretive as their code name. They melted into the river of history, using another method to continue and protect the prosperity of Earth's civilisation.
Li Jie looked around at the surrounding buildings. If the Baroque buildings had not been destroyed, they would have been very beautiful. He thought so as he cast his gaze to a monument in the distance.
This was a monument used by the Holy Shield Brotherhood to commemorate the founding of their organization. A sharp spear and a sturdy shield formed the main body of the monument. Li Jie always felt as if he had seen these two things somewhere, but he could never remember them.
He searched deep in his mind, trying to find some clues, but it seemed that these two things were hiding from him and would not appear.
It was not until the Professor woke him up that he broke out of that state of contemplation. It seemed that they had probably finished discussing the Holy Shield Brotherhood and had begun to discuss the current problem of Mutants. In fact, there were many things that Tony could not explain. After all, it was his father who joined the organization, not him.
"Nightcrawler, what are your plans for the problems that may arise with the Mutants now?" The Professor asked Li Jie's opinion. After all, it was Li Jie who invited him here.
"Huh?" Li Jie's eyes narrowed. "An old method, I used it once before. Although it is a bit old, I think it will work. "
"Magneto's failure to destroy Senator McCauley's body is our best weapon. Senator McCauley's body can prove that he is a Mutant, and this alone can make many government officials have scruples. "
"There was some conflict between the New York City Police and the Spider-man before, and now the Spider-man has reached an agreement with the New York Police. And Deputy Commissioner George of the New York City Police Department who is now handling the case is a fair police officer. It was he who informed the Spider-man that we had a chance to snatch Senator McCauley's body from the fire. So let him properly lobby the speculation of this case is enough to make many officials suspicious. "Li Jie said as he paced.
The four people present were all smart people and did not need too much explanation from Li Jie to understand the meaning of Li Jie's words.
"You mean to use their chain of suspicion and Cold War mentality?" Tony quickly understood what Li Jie wanted.
"That's right. After all, for politicians, we can't do what the enemy wants us to do. This is their basic philosophy. "Li Jie nodded to confirm Tony's statement.
He wanted to throw out the news that Senator McCauley was a Mutant. Of course, this news could not be told by anyone present. It had to be Sergeant George to be convincing. Sergeant George did not even need to lobby anyone. He only needed to report the truth that he knew to make many people suspicious.
After all, this was a Mutant who had infiltrated the upper echelons of the federal government. Would there be any conspiracy in the Mutants Act that he was promoting? Li Jie believed that there would be more than one or two officials with such ideas.
"But there is still a problem with Magneto. Since he has made the first move, he will definitely make a second move. Perhaps the exposure of Senator McCauley's identity will not affect his subsequent plans. "Dr. Hank pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and analyzed.
"Yes, so we also need a second move." Li Jie nodded and continued, "Magneto wants a Mutant Revolution and everything he wants to do, those violent things. It's really too much like a Nazi. "
This sentence was agreed by the other four people present.
"I have always felt that a person's character is mostly shaped by his childhood fate. For Magneto, there must have been people he hated in his life who wanted to give up everything just to kill him. "Li Jie continued.
"I think you all know what it is."
"The Nazis who built the Jewish concentration camps." Professor Charles answered this question.
"Professor, we can draw this answer more specifically. Some Nazis not only built the Jewish concentration camps, but also killed his parents and used Magneto as an experiment. Dr. Hank told me all this before. "Li Jie pointed to Hank.
"You're talking about Hydra?" Hank understood what Li Jie wanted to say.
"Yeah, the last time S.H.E.L.D. caught the remnants of Hydra, it happened to be a prison break, and the headquarters fell. I don't believe that there was no one behind all this. "Li Jie shook his head.
"In any case, this organization has done so many things, it has angered the heavens and the people. I'm sure they don't mind being blamed a few more times. Huh? Maybe it's not called being blamed. It should be said that they deserve it. I'm sure Magneto would be happy to kill more Hydra before stirring up the situation. Because compared to the human government, Hydra is his mortal enemy. "
"Those Hydra are above the Nazis, and their attitude towards Mutants is very bad. Dr. Hank, didn't you say that they openly experimented with Mutants? So let's let Magneto focus on those guys first. At least this will reduce unnecessary casualties. "Li Jie gave a general idea of what he was thinking.
Rogers pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth. "Is this what you call shifting the blame?"
"If you put it crudely, it can also be called a dog biting a dog." Li Jie spread his hands, indicating that he could call the plan whatever the captain wanted to call it.
"Speaking of which, there are still a lot of arrested Hydra members in the prison of S.H.E.L.D.." Captain Rogers remembered this. "But their mouths are very tight, and we can't get anything valuable out of them."
Li Jie patted Professor Charles' wheelchair. "In front of the professor, no one can hide their secrets. I'm afraid you'll have to work hard this time, Professor."
Professor X smiled helplessly. At least Magneto killed Hydra, no one present had any psychological burden.
Li Jie suddenly thought that maybe compared to Superheroes, Hydra is the world's indispensable and most important organization.
When we have any bad thoughts or want to divert our attention, we can always see him in the right place.
Whether you ignore him or not, he's there. Regardless of whether you killed him or not, he would be there, neither increasing nor decreasing.
This is Hydra, a man who dedicated his life to fighting against? The scapegoat of the human cause. As long as you blame them, they will definitely take the blame for you.
