Chapter 2046: National Shutdown, Incompetent Fury
The root of the dead silence is the stoppage of modern industry.
When the so-called lifeline energy is cut off in an instant, any modern technological product based on energy can only be turned into a dead thing, and can no longer make any sound. And for a city that has become noisy due to industrial development, this is naturally like cutting off its life, making it stop.
It was the same in the courtroom, the lights went out instantly, and the sudden change of the darkness in the courtroom due to being in the deep courtroom caused shocks everywhere. Many people have had the idea of running away, because they guessed that this was some kind of self-help measure on Stark's part. And if any conflict broke out here because of his self-help, then their lives would not be guaranteed.
Just like the old saying in the East, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. With their identities today, no one wants to risk their precious life on some unpredictable threat. So although it was just a prediction, and they were not sure that things would happen, they still wisely chose to leave, and as soon as possible.
Noble rich people and politicians can certainly do this, but as bailiffs in name, they are actually soldiers transferred from the elite army, and they cannot make the same choice at this time.
It can only be said that according to the order, they surrounded Frank. At the same time, he turned on the flashlight, making all his movements invisible.
This was a move for fear that Frank would slip away, and it was also an act of frustration by politicians. Even if he is a fool, he understands at this time that such a huge change suddenly occurred, it must be some means played by Stark. And what kind of means can cause such an impact, so that almost all cities in the United States have fallen into a shutdown, they actually already have an idea in their hearts.
It's just that this idea is still a bit too frightening, and they really can't believe it. That's why someone rushed to Frank with a three-point chance, and roared at him with a ferocious expression.
"What did you do, what the hell did you do?"
"Did what? Just did what I was supposed to do."
Wiping the marks on his lips from drinking milk with his fingers, Frank sneered at the politician while throwing the water stains on the politician's face.
"You guys are thinking about the technology of the Ark reactor. Even if I'm stuck with the possibility of you stealing the technology of the Ark through this method, in the future, you will definitely use all kinds of methods to get this This technology is stolen into my own hands. I don’t have so much effort and time to spend with you on this kind of waste, so, in order to prevent you from continuing to entangle. Then it’s better to simply let you forget about it !"
"From this moment on..."
Spreading his arms wide, he made a pose that wanted to cover a certain range. While using this method to borrow the entire United States, Frank also said this to the people present.
"In the entire United States, all Ark nuclear fusion energy plants have completed the self-destruction work starting from the core under my order. From the innermost core to the external operation and output procedures, they have all been They were paralyzed one after another, and were completely destroyed. I will leave you nothing but ruins. If you really have the ability,
Then let's restore the technology of our Stark family from this ruin. If you can do it, what does it matter if the technology is given to you? "
This sentence sounds nice and generous. But the core of it is enough to make a few knowledgeable politicians gnash their teeth with hatred, wishing to swallow Frank in front of him alive.
Use a bunch of junk to reverse-restore a cross-age energy technology, and is it Stark's improved third-generation nuclear fusion technology? You really think they are fools.
It is true that the level of human science and technology has been improving, and more and more complete technical and theoretical foundations also make the birth of technology deduction easier. However, those who really understand science will understand that the cutting-edge field of scientific research is always controlled by a very small number of geniuses. Such as Tesla, such as Stark.
Today, when Stark has become famous, the world has almost recognized that Stark is a genius who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Tesla.
This is not flattery, but a real reputation. Although in terms of background and style, Stark is more like Edison, a shameless capitalist, but in terms of real skills, he is much better than Edison, the so-called inventor.
He is a leader in cross-age technology. It seems that in the era when electricity was just commercialized, Tesla, a genius, had already proposed alternating current that is better than direct current, and imagined wireless power transmission that has not been truly realized until today. Stark also perfected mature cold nuclear fusion technology across the ages, and created Ultron, an existence that most scientists in the world can't believe.
They are always one step ahead of others, and this gap is often the result of those ordinary people who can't see their backs no matter how hard they work. The so-called standing at the top of the world is not something that can be boasted. It is the final result of the entire human race, which has been screened out through hundreds of billions of exchanges over the centuries.
There will not be more than ten such people in the same era.
If the elite scientists in the space defense system are still alive, then maybe the American government still has a little hope that they can find something useful out of the ruins. However, today when those real elites are all lost, they have no one who can keep up with Stark's footsteps.
This is despair, the root of Frank's conviction that you people will get nothing. But also knowing what an embarrassing situation he was facing, the politician who spoke immediately screamed with viciousness.
"How dare you, how dare you do this!"
His screaming wasn't just because Frank had tricked them and made them completely stop thinking about it. It is also because of the huge consequences of Frank's actions.
In modern society, even if such a large-scale power outage suddenly occurs in a large city, it will cause huge social chaos. Leaving aside the problems of paralysis of urban functions such as transportation, it is just an economic loss, which is often a huge number.
For example, the power outage in the United States and Canada occurred in 2003. Its economic loss exceeded 30 billion, and indirectly caused the death of several people. And that's just the blackouts in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. It's only a few hours in time.
The current situation is that the entire United States is facing a serious problem of this power outage. There are very few places that can supply electricity, and most of them are remote and small places that have not had time to optimize the lines. Hundreds of millions of people were affected at the same time, and all cities in the entire country have fallen into a state of functional paralysis.
This can almost be said to bring the United States back to the pre-industrial age at once, and the direct or indirect losses caused by such a huge accident are simply incalculable.
This is killing these politicians. A little thought can be imagined the great upheaval it would cause when the people learned that their personal loss had been caused by a government they had just restored.
Popular anger is also graded. It's just a moment of righteous indignation, for example, just seeing the scene of them bullying the kid Frank, of course, will make them rush to the streets to demonstrate and protest. But in fact, it is a blind move without root and source, as long as they are left alone, or a little guidance is enough to easily suppress them.
However, once the matter involves their fundamental interests and has an irreparable impact on their lives, then the seriousness of the situation can be discussed.
Angry people will rush to the streets like a herd of cattle rushing wildly at the Running of the Bulls Festival. Losing their minds, they will even directly attack everything they think is the culprit.
In this incident, the federal government had the opportunity to throw the blame on Stark Enterprises. But because of the series of accidents before, they had to swallow this bitter fruit into their own mouths.
The Stark Tower was blown into two by them, and the Stark Tower, which is still in ruins, undoubtedly represents the image of the former giant company that is now a victim. And they don't even have landmark buildings, even if politicians want to take them out to top the tank, they won't have any obvious effect.
In addition, Frank put them together before. The obviously expensive shooting pushed the innocence of the Stark family to the apex. No one would believe that this was a sinister trick that a child could come up with, let alone that a child who had just experienced a shooting and whose life and death were unknown, could have the kung fu to plan such a big one. events come.
They will only pin the blame on the federal government, and assume that this is the government's retribution for not stealing the chicken but losing a lot of rice. Without the guidance and suppression of public opinion, the people have a way to make up for the stupid mistakes made by the federal government in this series of incidents. If you have a bigger brain, you may even link the federal government with the Hydra people, and give them the title of a human betrayer.
This is definitely not the slander that today's federal government can bear. If the situation is really allowed to develop like this and the public opinion is so fermented, then it is absolutely impossible for them to sit firmly on the throne that has just been restored. So they have to stop all this before it develops to this point, and at present, the only way to stop all this is to let Frank announce the truth himself.
Even if they said that they wanted to swallow this brat alive in their hearts, but in the face of threats from the outside world, politicians still had to make a gesture of compromise with Frank.
"Stop your revenge, Stark. We can promise not to continue to target you and the property under the name of the Stark family. As long as you are willing to confess everything that happened today, we are willing to... share peace with you."
"Sharing peace? Sorry, I don't seem to see any reason why I need to share this so-called peace with you."
One sentence showed his attitude of refusal, and Frank said like adding fuel to the fire.
"Your current troubles are enough for you to drink a pot. And don't forget, under these huge troubles, there are still people like Nick Fury lurking in the dark. They will not let go of such a good opportunity , to deal with you usurpers. And when they do it, I don't believe that you still have the ability to do something to me and Stark Enterprise!"
Frank's words made these politicians gasp, and some of them also screamed out of anger.
"They're the usurpers, these guys and your father, conspiring to usurp the country. All we've done is mess up anyway. You damn kid, you're with those bastards !"
"Hey! Stop it. I'm me, they're them, don't just treat us as one, it's going to happen!"
Frank stretched out his hand and made a stop motion to indicate that his relationship with those people was not what they imagined. It's just that these people no longer believe even a single word of his words.
In their eyes, Frank's intelligence was simply terrifyingly old-fashioned. They have been almost played in the palm of their hands from the beginning to the end, and now they have to learn to be cautious and deal with it most carefully.
"Since you are unwilling to cooperate with us, then we can only be rude to you. Don't think that we won't do something to a child. In the face of national interests, we don't care about sacrificing one of you, or more like you child!"
As a last resort, use violence. Use violence to bend Frank to their will. This is a method that can only be used as a last resort, but it is also the only method they can use now.
Under the signal of the politicians, the soldiers have already stepped forward to hold down this terrible little ghost. However, just as they took two steps forward, a figure directly smashed through the thick dome inlaid with alloy steel plates with a loud bang, and landed straight in front of Frank.
Before the soldiers had time to fire, they were already thrown away one by one, as if they were throwing rubbish. And before the politicians called for more strength to fight against this sudden intruder, he was already pulling Frank, who was jumping, and flew out directly along the big hole created when he came.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and the federal government had completely lost its cards to improve its situation. Faced with this situation, they could only scream helplessly and furiously.
"Catch this brat back to me!"
But where to catch them and how to catch them has become a question that no one is willing to think deeply about.
