Chapter 1146 Suspected Jewel
Now the world of 2099 has been completely controlled by a group of super villains headed by Norman Osborn.
After the Civil War, the power of superheroes was greatly reduced. The super villains have preserved their strength intact, and even said that their strength has gone further.
Norman Osborn launched the arrest and killing of the remaining superheroes, and the name of arresting and killing them is a war crime.
The surviving superheroes, because of the civil war, couldn't trust each other quickly, and when they approached, they all stood on the enemy's side. There was no way to condense together to form a fist in an instant, resulting in everyone being broken one by one by Norman Osborn.
The last superhero in 2020 was also killed by Norman Osborn. Since then, the whole world has no power to contend with him.
However, because of the death of Tony Stark in this world, the Ark reactor has not been promoted. New energy is nowhere in sight, and now the world's oil and gas resources are on the verge of depletion. Even if other resources such as combustible ice are mined, it is estimated that it will not last long.
In the era when superheroes came out in large numbers, there were also many talented super scientists. But those super scientists are often sided with superheroes, they do not obey the command of Norman Osborn, so facing these scientists in order to ensure the supremacy of his power. Norman Osborn mercilessly raised his butcher knife to these helpless scientists.
This caused the advancement of science and technology to be postponed for an entire era. This is why Li Jie and others came to the world of 2099, but they didn't feel that this world was better than the world they were in.
There is no mining of helium-3 here, no, the establishment of a base between the earth and the moon, no qualitative breakthrough in controllable nuclear fusion technology, the disappearance of the Ark reactor, and there is no super high-speed rail to penetrate the Eurasian and African continents.
There will be no civil organizations like the Justice League to maintain community law and order and reduce urban crime rates.
The current 2099 world is like a hotbed of crime, and many people can no longer see the hope of the future.
As Miquel said, a powerful country like the US is fine. Some countries in Africa, South America and Asia have to limit people's electricity and oil consumption due to the depletion of resources. The national happiness index plummeted.
On the other hand, because resources are on the verge of depletion, the prices of basic crops such as food in the world have skyrocketed.
Because modern agriculture is inseparable from various energy supplies. For example, the use of combine harvesters requires oil, the production of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in chemical fertilizer plants requires electricity, and the material factories that provide these raw materials also need to use energy. A rise in energy prices has led to a rapid rise in the price of the entire industry.
The soaring price of food has brought the economic systems of many countries to the verge of collapse.
"This world sucks." This was Li Jie's only thought after listening to the 2099 world told by Miquel.
According to Miquel, the world of 2099 is almost about to collapse. If this world develops for another 100 years, it will not take less than 100 years, maybe only a few decades, and it will become a doomsday world like in Fist of the Big Dipper.
Maybe the drag racing scenes in "Mad Max" will really be staged on US Route 66.
"Yes, this world is very bad, that's why we need to resist Norman Osborn. We have to overthrow his rule, otherwise. This world is dying, maybe in our generation, we will be able to see this world The end of the world." American female captain Roberta agrees with Li Jie's statement, this world is terrible, Roberta doesn't like this world, but she has to face this world.
She even said that she must change the world because she is a mother of two children. If the world does not change, then my children will have to live in a more cruel world in the future, and such struggling may not have the hope of seeing tomorrow.
After everyone has heard Miquel's story, whether it's Strange, Brian, or Lan, all three of them must admit it. Their world is a much better place than this one.
Among the three, only Lan knows best what Li Jie has contributed to his world. If it weren't for the various things that Li Jie promoted behind the scenes, maybe the world I live in would become the same world as 2099 in the future.
"We need to overthrow Osborn's rule. If he is still ruling the world, we will not have a good life." Roberta's speech won the approval of everyone, at least from Miquel's speech , Norman Osborn is simply the evil in this world.
"I don't want to pour cold water, but we seem to have a more serious problem. Even if Norman Osborn's rule can be overthrown, the world's energy is now on the verge of exhaustion. Even if Norman Osborn is killed, Destroy all his companies, but can the world turn back?" Brian asked a very sad sentence.
This is also a question that Roberta, the female captain of the United States, is very unwilling to face, that is, can killing Norman Osborn really save the world? Because this world has been destroyed and riddled with holes.
Compared to Roberta's silence. Miquel seemed a little more confident.
He said: "Although Norman Osborn is arrogant and arrogant. But he must also face such a problem, that is, the world's energy is exhausted, and his good days are also coming to an end. He must solve this problem." question."
"Solving the energy problem will not only make his rule longer, but also make his rule stronger. At that time, he will not only rule the United States, but the entire earth. Because he has mastered new energy, all Everyone must obey him." Miquel raised the USB flash drive in his hand and said.
"And this is the key. I heard about it a long time ago when I was working in the Alchemy Company. The Osborne Group has never stopped researching and developing new energy sources. And I recently received news that the Osborne Group seems to be A breakthrough has been made in the research and development of new energy." After Li Jie and others have heard so many bad news about the world, what Miquel said is the only good news.
Regardless of whether the new energy was invented by Norman Osborn or Tony Stark, at least the birth of new energy can continue the life of this world. Save countless people.
"If it is true, then we have to obtain this technology." American female captain Roberta said firmly.
"If Norman is allowed to master this technology and promote it, then the world will never see the light of day, and will live under his claws forever."
"So I hope that more like-minded people can help us. We welcome any rebel organization to join us." Miquel pointed to Li Jie and the four of them.
"If you really, like us, want to restore the proper order in this world and bring back the former moral justice and human conscience. Then we need to do more."
Li Jie hasn't expressed his opinion yet, but Brian has already spoken. Although he is older than Li Jie, he is more like a hot-blooded boy than Li Jie. After hearing so many words, he said without hesitation: "We will do our best to save this world."
Li Jie resisted the urge to roll his eyes, to save the world? Is it as simple as you said!
But let's not discuss Brian's arrogance, because Miquel turned on the computer and transferred the information in the USB flash drive to the computer, and everyone began to look up the new energy plan created by Norman Osborn.
Everyone became more and more excited. It seemed that Norman Osborne's Osborne Group had really achieved extraordinary results. Only Li Jie became more and more puzzled the more he watched.
Because it seems, probably, maybe in the few words of these materials, Li Jie thinks why many details described in this materials are so like infinite gems.
Is this an infinity gem, or a brother of the dancing gem? Li Jie felt that he might have grasped an important clue.
Well, if it is true, then I have to take this gem and save the world by the way. Li Jie thought so lightly. He had already forgotten what he wanted to do to roll Brian's eyes just now.
