Marvel Reverses Wolverine - Chapter 254

  Chapter 254 “Storm” first

  After hearing what Victor Doom said, Dr. Reed Richards lowered his brows and stopped speaking.

He is also very clear in his heart that as a partner, after this “cosmic storm” experiment, except for the corresponding research results sharing and income sharing, everything here is no longer related to him, and he cannot continue to enjoy such scientific research environment.

   Unless he is willing to join the Howlett Group and become a scientist under it.

   “Okay, everyone, keep working hard. I still have some very important things to do, so I’ll leave first. Johnny! If you are interested in exchanging wolf gold for other properties at any time, hehe, remember to find me.”

  Dom smiled and strode out of the central cabin of the spaceship, with a high-spirited and high-spirited attitude, as if something good happened.

  In the starship laboratory in the X-3 area, only Ben and Johnny bickered from time to time. Reed was silent for a while, and then returned to his working state.

  A few kilometers away, above the No. 1 area of ​​the launch base, a blue-black rectangular ship seemed to be a huge meteorite that broke through the clouds and fell towards the earth.

The sense of oppression that seemed to be slow and fast was approaching layer by layer, and the air was trembling with continuous humming. Dum and several senior executives of the Howlett Group in well-suited suits stood respectfully in the waiting area on the ground, and their eyes were always focused on this place. A sinking spaceship.

“Twenty or thirty years ago, we would have waited for Mr. to arrive by the parked private plane or car, but today, hehehe, spaceship, my father was still thinking about not seeing each other for the last time when he was dying’Old Hao Mr. Lite’, alas, he didn’t wait until the day when Mr. revealed his identity.”

  A high-level executive of the group standing in front of the group with a full head of silver frost raised his head with some difficulty, his eyelids trembling as he watched the spaceship gradually come to a stop, and his words were full of complex feelings with unknown meanings.

  Victor Dum, who stood at the end behind the old man, took a deep breath, and kept smoothing the hem of his suit that was already stretched.

  Finally, a huge door opened on the side of the spaceship, and two groups of teams lined up on both sides quickly. A tall figure casually wearing a black robe walked down the blue metal corridor slowly.

“gentlemen.”

  Looking at the figure approaching, several senior executives of the group just lowered their heads and stroked their chests together, without saying a word.

   “Morris, how are you?”

  James smiled and patted the old man’s shoulder, and glanced at the people behind him, only one young face he hadn’t seen before.

  “.Why, I suddenly remembered running from New York to wait for me here.”

  The old man leaned next to James with a smile, and hurriedly responded:

“Thank you, sir, for still thinking about me, an old guy. I’m in good health, but I haven’t seen you for many years. I heard that you can land at the Cape Canaveral launch site today, so I rushed to wait for greetings. “

In the past six months, James Howlett has frequently taken the flagship of the Aerospace Forces to practice on planets or asteroid belts in the surrounding star fields. The affairs of the Howlett Group are more laissez-faire than in the 1950s and 1960s. For some needs, leave them to the people below.

   “Hehe, your father was much more straightforward than you back then. Tell me, what problems did you encounter?”

  Robert Morris’s father was also a group executive who was able to attend the group’s summit meeting hall and meet with Mr. Howlett himself.

  But Robert has followed the rules since his early twenties and relied on his own wrist to get to the current position of executive vice president step by step, which is a step further than the old Mr. Morris.

  The white-haired old man looked at James Howlett’s deep eyes, and suddenly felt much younger.

“That’s right, sir. In recent years, most of the group’s technical talents and scientific forces have been withdrawn, which has affected the follow-up product promotion and research and development in many aspects. I would like to ask you. How long will this situation last? It’s good to have a schedule to prepare.”

  Mr. Morris turned his head sideways and kept paying attention to any subtle changes on James’ face, and explained carefully.

   It has been almost six years since Howlett Group mobilized more than half of its wealth and resources, especially core scientific and technological talents and a large number of technical personnel into the “Space Race”.

  The vast majority of group executives are like the small group of people at the top of the pyramid in various countries in the world. They only know that due to major scientific and technological breakthroughs, major countries and financial groups are investing their strength in the exploration and competition of space resources.

  The real reason for all changes, an interstellar war against aliens, a test that human civilization has never had before, few people know.

   “How long will it last.”

  James raised his eyebrows and glanced at the sky, Wanli Bilan disturbed the scattered clouds due to the landing of the spaceship and its dragging.

“…It’s been a long time, Morris, it’s been a long time. Get ready, your generation is likely to witness the most changes and transitions in this world. Cultivate and discover new talents. I heard that the ‘Cosmic Storm’ project is very popular recently. good?”

Hearing the first half of Mr. Howlett’s words, the old man was shocked like the sky collapsed in his head. It was just a few light words, but what he said from this gentleman’s mouth was no less than the revelation of the gods to the world. .

  The last earth-shaking event in this world was the era of human mutation and evolution, and the advent of extraordinary power, and today.

   After being absent-minded for a moment, old Morris finally realized that James was asking him a question. While speaking, he rushed behind him and waved his hands without looking back.

“Ah, yes, sir! This project is very promising, especially the energy of the cosmic storm affects the genes of organic organisms. It is likely to further expand the research on the X gene, and even unravel the mysteries of human evolution! Du Director Mu is the one who primarily discovers and is responsible for this task.”

   Stepping forward in two or three steps, Dum bent down almost ninety degrees, and after bowing, his face flushed slightly and he said excitedly:

   “Mr. Howlett, I’m Victor Dum, the director of the Science and Technology Project Department. It’s an honor to meet you today!”

  James took a serious look at Dum. This very young executive revealed the typical temperament of an elite and ambitious person.

   A cloud of red and black smoke suddenly burst out a few meters away, and Asazo appeared in a flash, standing aside with his hands behind his back.

   “Mr. Doom, it’s another era to welcome the tide, let’s work hard.”

  James smiled lightly, and after simply mentioning something, he put his hand on the shoulder of the Red Devil, and the two disappeared immediately, leaving only the group executives who were all relieved.

  Victor Doom still had his mouth open, his exquisite white teeth even reflected a little bit of sunlight, and he still had too many words to impress Mr. Howlett before he had time to say them.

   Buttoning his four knuckles with his thumb, Dum looked at the cosmic storm experimental spacecraft in the X-3 area, and slowly adjusted from the suit cufflinks to the bow tie habitually.

  He knew that the Howlett Group, a behemoth that was already at the top of power and wealth in front of the world, was just a marginal force on the periphery of this mysterious family.

  In this world, it is not possible for a “mortal” to truly grab status and power.

   “Mr. Morris, I’m sorry, I plan to stay here and continue to supervise the ‘Cosmic Storm Project’, so I can’t accompany you back to New York.”

  Dum was silent for a while, and finally said in a very soft voice.

  Bounded by the orbit of the moon, there are twenty-three cubic fortress-shaped military space stations connected in a ring at the near end, guarding the orbital space above the earth’s atmosphere.

  Each “Space Fortress” has a building covering an area of ​​nearly a thousand square meters and a height of more than ten floors, and it is still under construction and supplementation.

   And on the other side of the lunar orbit, thousands of car-sized detection devices are scattered in the dark deep space.

  Looking out from the moon base of the United Aerospace Forces, all this seems to be the first time that human beings have nailed a giant pillar used to make land in the sea, and finally left their own footprints in the endless cosmic starry sky.

  The launch of the “Spacelab” spacecraft was smoother than expected.

Although he had already done many test drives, Ben Graham still couldn’t believe that he could escape the gravity of the earth in such an easy and smooth way like driving his old Ford off-road vehicle, with almost no tremors and vibrations. track position.

  “God, Reagan was clamoring for the so-called ‘Star Wars Project’ two years ago. I really thought he was trying to deceive the Soviets and ask Congress for more budget. Unexpectedly”

  Hearing Ben yelling loudly, Reed Richards’ expression was not much calmer. Although he was modest and introverted, deep down he always claimed to be the top figure in the field of human science and technology.

   But when the two looked at the orbital fortresses outside the hanging window, and the space coordinates and orbit guidance like the airport tower came from the spacecraft intercom, Reed felt as if he had already lived in the world of Asimov’s science fiction.

   “See, I’m responsible for everything here, the repeated lift-offs and extravehicular engineering tasks, soil bald, who is more useless now?”

  Johnny was wearing a light dark blue man-made fiber tights, and he didn’t fasten the safety buckle tightly like Ben and Reed. He leaned back on the seat and put his feet on the operating table very proudly.

  Sister Susan Stone wore the same dress, and her waistline became more and more exaggerated. She gave Johnny a rather stern look, and stopped him from continuing to tease and show off.

   “Hey, continue with the mission plan and boost the power of the spacecraft! Guys, the energy fluctuations of the cosmic storm are already very clear!”

  Reed adjusted his state, and once again cheered up to give orders to the two drivers.

  The “Space Lab” spacecraft is like a huge double-ring top, the outer ring is shining with ice-blue energy glow, and it is spinning rapidly as a power propulsion, while the control and experimental cabins in the center are extremely stable.

  At this moment, leaning towards the direction of Jupiter’s orbital position, a giant omentum-shaped energy group that is like countless layers of silver light intertwined is rushing towards with an endless storm of particle light curtains.

   And behind it

  But there is still a group of golden yellow flames that gradually reveal the outline of wings, just like.

  A giant eagle waiting to prey.
