1629 、 The Seed of Doubt
He accompanied Emma to Luling Town. Now this place has changed dramatically. In the center of the town, a tall building is being built. This will be the energy headquarters of the Guardian Group, which is responsible for the oil development of the entire Permian Basin.
The continuous inflow of outsiders has also increased the size of Luling Town a lot, and many employees of the Guardian Group have also chosen to come here, especially the oil field workers under the group. Luling Town was originally developed because of a small oil field, and accepting more oil workers was a piece of cake.
Tang Yu just took Emma here for a tour, or rather an inspection, and explained to her some of the framework of his business empire that he had just begun to build. Including the development of the Permian Basin oil field, the construction of large-scale oil refineries, and even his adjustment of the economic structure of the Hellfire Club.
Although the previous Hellfire Club had very strong economic strength, it was built on the alliance of many entrepreneurs and companies, and was relatively loose. But now Tang Yu took the opportunity of Sebastian Xiao to clean up the upper management of the Hellfire Club and re-integrated the entire club. He won over the original club members and half-forced them to sit on the ship of the Guardian Group. In this way, the Guardian Group became the common bond of the entire Guardian Group.
And the continuous production of shale oil in the Permian Basin also ensured the economic source of the Guardian Group. While Xiao was still thinking about how to win over more Mutants to enhance their strength, Tang Yu had quietly grasped the economic lifeline of the Hellfire Club. And no matter what Sebastian Xiao wanted to do, money was always a topic that could not be avoided. His vision and theory could only deceive people like Emma who originally had such ideas, but others might not buy it.
With strong economic strength as a backing, Tang Yu could begin to develop the sentinel robot. Just like his previous plan, if the development of sentinel robots was left to the Guardian Group alone, then no matter how the situation changed later, the initiative would always be in his hands.
Next was the challenge between Team X and X-Men. Team X was fine, although they were strong, William Stryker had ulterior motives, and it was only a matter of time before they fell apart. And the X-Men are the next biggest challenge! The reminder from the future Professor X forced Tang Yu to treat the current Professor X as his biggest imaginary enemy. If the mysterious man really had the ability to control Professor X, who knew what he would do?
On the other hand, Tang Yu would never appear in front of Professor X. If Professor X and Magneto joined forces, Tang Yu would be defenseless against Magneto even though the brainwave-isolating helmet or photon computer could block Professor X's control. The opposite is also true. Although he can fight Magneto without a helmet or a photon computer, he will be easily controlled by Professor XXX. Therefore, when these two big shots joined forces, there was basically no way for them to escape. Before they could produce enough effective Sentinel robots, Tang Yu had no way of resisting them.
Sometimes, when he watched the movie, he didn't feel it deeply. But when he faced it in person, Tang Yu realized how terrifying his enemy was. Whether it was his mechanical dragon, the AT-9S Knight, or the Terminator army, they were all no different from garbage in front of Magneto. At the same time, although he had developed a killer weapon against Magneto, there was nothing he could do about Professor X.
It was very difficult to confront Magneto head-on, and there were too many unknown factors. So the most urgent thing now was to find out who this mysterious man was. Tang Yu took out the characters in the X-Men comic series and movies and investigated them one by one. He did find a few people who might be able to do it, but if there was no confirmation, there was no point in talking about it. And this world was based on the X-Men movie world. There was no telling who would appear here and who would not.
Therefore, he needed a bridge. Tang Yu chose Peacock. On the one hand, it was because of her identity as a mutant. In the original plan, she was also the one to join the X-Men team. On the other hand, it was because of her powerful strength. The more powerful a mutant was, the more difficult it would be for Professor X to control her. Professor X might be able to restrict Peacock's actions through mind control for a short period of time, but it was absolutely impossible for him to change Peacock's thinking for a long time!
From another perspective, Tang Yu was also an unknown to Professor X. So if he exposed a flaw like Peacock, Professor X would almost certainly start with her to learn about Tang Yu's plans and movements. So now was the stage where the two sides were testing each other. Tang Yu did not know whether the mysterious man existed, and his plan would certainly be interfered with by Professor X. At the same time, he did not know what the mysterious man wanted to do. The X-Men also wanted to learn about Tang Yu's plan. Once they learned that Tang Yu wanted to develop the Sentinel robot, they would definitely stop him immediately. In order to stop Tang Yu, they would definitely use Peacock.
For Peacock, Tang Yu had modified her memory, but not too much. As the saying goes, the more you do, the more mistakes you make. Tang Yu only asked Emma to plant a seed in Peacock's memory, a seed of doubt. This would make Peacock doubt Tang Yu's true purpose, and this doubt would take root and germinate because of Peacock's feelings for Tang Yu. For Professor X, this was also the biggest reason he was willing to use Peacock.
When the time was right, Tang Yu only needed to ask Emma to eliminate this seed. Then, all the doubts in Peacock's mind would be resolved. Peacock would immediately know all of Tang Yu's thoughts, and she would immediately know what she should do!
Therefore, what Tang Yu had to do now was to let this seed continue to germinate and continue to grow, so that Professor X and the others could use Peacock with more confidence. In this way, Tang Yu left himself a trump card. Once his plan was thwarted, he would still have a chance to continue to follow. And most importantly, no matter who the mysterious person was, he would inevitably have an extra layer of suspicion in front of Peacock!
Tang Yu brought Emma around Luling Town. Although the two of them weren't very intimate, and they claimed that Emma was Tang Yu's assistant, some of the inadvertent details between the two of them told the bystanders that their relationship wasn't ordinary. These rumors would definitely spread to Peacock because most of the entire Luling Town was the property of the Guardian Group. The doubts in Peacock's heart would further increase.
Then, they would cooperate with Bolivarian Trask's plan to force the X-Men to the surface step by step! To solve the problem of the Mutants, it was impossible to hide it. The existence of the Mutants must be made public in an appropriate way!
Tang Yu had his own concerns, and so did Professor X. That was why Tang Yu had to find a way to make the X-Men public. It was hard to imagine how terrifying a Professor X hiding in the dark could be. You had no idea who he would control to deal with you. Not to mention the mysterious person with unknown abilities and purposes!
