Chapter 1315 Interstellar Stage (Twenty-Two)

"Xu, you should be new here, right? After you get familiar with the workplace, we can go to the cafeteria to eat together, and then go to the logistics department to get your work uniform and work badge."

Steve's voice always seems very steady, giving people a strong sense of security. His expression is always smiling, and he looks very amiable. He can be said to be a ray of light among those fierce agents.

But even if Steve didn't act so gentle, Xu Shangqi would have almost hung his eyes on him.

"Let's go, let's get on the shuttle first. Your workplace is in another base of SHIELD, but it's not far from here. We can take a special military shuttle, and then... Xu, Xu, are you listening?"

"Oh, I'm here." Xu Shangqi cleared his throat, but he couldn't help but look at Steve, and said with some doubt: "Why aren't you wearing a uniform?"

Indeed, although Steve in front of him held a shield representing that he was Captain America, he was not wearing a uniform, but a sports suit, looking like a mountaineer.

Steve was a little surprised when he heard this question. He said, "Who can wear a uniform all the time? This is not a combat mission, so of course I wear casual clothes."

"Ah..." Xu Shangqi responded, and then he realized that indeed, he had traveled here, not watching a movie or a comic. No superhero would wear their uniforms 24 hours a day. 棽

And Xu Shangqi knew that he was not an important person, so why would Captain America come to see him fully armed?

Being a passerby in the Marvel world? It sounds a bit cowardly. After all, because of the wars between these superheroes, people die every day in New York, and passersby are likely to die in the aftermath of the battle. But if you put it another way, being a civil servant in the Marvel world, doesn't it sound much better?

Being a street hero or a civil servant?

As a young man full of blood, Xu Shangqi certainly chose without looking back... civil servant!

Western civilization and its descendants are essentially marine civilizations. They cannot understand the pursuit of stability engraved in the bones of Eastern land civilizations.

Therefore, in their eyes, Orientals are very strange. They can obviously choose a more passionate life, but they are only willing to stay where they are. However, in order to pursue this stable life that can be seen at a glance, they are willing to shed blood for revolution.

Since ancient times, all kings have pursued great unification, which is nothing more than the pursuit of stable power. This is true for kings and ordinary people. Xu Shangqi touched his conscience and said that if both violent means and civilized means can change the Marvel world, then he will definitely choose civilized means. 棽

Then, he understood why Schiller worked as a psychologist in SHIELD instead of going out to be a superhero.

Perhaps, even if he had special abilities, he would not do so. This is the essential difference in the cultural thinking between the East and the West. China's hegemony, after all, is a political thinking of fighting and building at the same time, rather than a pirate thinking of grabbing a vote and running away.

On the way to the agent training academy with Steve, Xu Shangqi kept thinking that now that he has become a civil servant of SHIELD and SHIELD, what should he do to obtain the stability he pursues and make the Marvel world more stable?

Xu Shangqi is not stupid, or rather, Orientals living in the Western world always have a kind of aura from the wisdom of their ancestors, which allows them to find the answer to everything from the historical stories they have read since childhood, because human history is an endless cycle.

Now it seems that this world should indeed be in the future. Xu Shangqi looked down at the shuttle under his feet. He was very sure that the human technology in the Marvel world in the movie has not yet reached this level, at least not for civilian use.

But from the previous conversation between Schiller and Zheng Xian, Xu Shangqi learned that it was not just one or two countries with advanced technology. It seemed that all countries maintained their original political system, but technology had advanced a step, which was actually very strange.

The political system that Xu Shangqi envisioned for humans to jointly develop technology and enter the universe period world must at least be an Earth Federation, but it seems that this world has developed technology, but political culture has not developed much, but this is also good, so that he can adapt better.棽

Such a situation is not without disadvantages. Due to the struggle between countries and international relations, everything has to be considered politically. Many technologies cannot be smoothly cooperated. Isn't this a waste of the latecomer bonus in the early interstellar period?

Thinking of this, Xu Shangqi suddenly realized that his position was really important because he could connect two superpowers. Although he was just an intern agent, this internship was unique and not as insignificant as he imagined.

And judging from the attitudes of Zheng Xian and Schiller before, they seemed to be planning to cooperate in the technology of building the dream world, and the place where they would talk was in the dream, that is, it might not be convenient for them to meet in the real world. It seems that there are still some obstacles to the cooperation of this technology.

Xu Shangqi touched his chin and fell into deep thought. He was thinking about what he could do to allow his compatriots thousands of miles away to continue to roll in the dream. What is the resistance? What is the breakthrough point?

"Xu, Xu, what are you thinking about? We are here."

Steve's voice sounded in Xu Shangqi's ears. Xu Shangqi was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. He gave Steve an apologetic smile and said, "Ah, sorry, I was distracted just now."

Steve smiled and patted his back, took him out of the shuttle, and appeared in front of him was an agent base that looked like an alien city. 棽

The building in the middle is a regular 20-sided octahedron, and the high-rise buildings on both sides are symmetrical, like the shape of a dagger. The three buildings are connected together, and a huge aerospace mothership is floating in the sky.

"Your time of joining is very coincidental. Our new base has just been put into use. This is the best piece of land in the suburbs of New York State. God knows how Nick got Congress to approve it for him to build a base."

Steve said half-jokingly: "The technology used in the buildings here is the latest and most cutting-edge, including air conditioning, fresh air system, and hot and cold exchange channels. All of them are the most advanced versions at present. The greenhouses and farms for cultivating ingredients are the same as those in the Mercury base, ensuring that they are organic and pollution-free."

"By the way, your personal terminal... I almost forgot to give it to you." Steve took out a bracelet-like thing from the arms of his sportswear, and Xu Shangqi took it and put it on, and then walked into this huge base like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden.

As soon as he entered the building, Xu Shangqi was stunned. In the indescribable huge space, countless agents wearing SHIELD uniforms came and went, not the kind of coming and going on the ground, but flying in the sky.

The entire building not only looks like a beehive, but also looks like a beehive inside. All the agents seem to be wearing an exoskeleton device that is not obvious from the outside, and then shuttle between departments like bees returning to the nest.

In the middle of the entire building is a huge skylight hole that goes directly to the top floor of the building, which is convenient for flying agents to reach the department they want to go to at the fastest speed and the shortest distance. 棽

Just when Xu Shangqi was standing there in shock, Steve took out a small piece of iron from his arms and handed it to Xu Shangqi. Xu Shangqi lowered his head and found that it looked a bit like a business card, but he couldn't understand the words and numbers written on it.

After he took it, he looked at Steve blankly and asked, "What is this?"

"Are you envious of them being able to fly?" Steve smiled brightly and said, "Your expression says this, no need to be envious, put it on and you can fly too."

Xu Shangqi blinked, then looked down at the small piece of iron in his hand. He swallowed and asked, "How do I wear it?"

"Throw it in the air in the coolest way."

Xu Shangqi opened his eyes wide, then he stretched out his other hand and hit the wrist of the hand holding the iron piece hard. The iron piece flew into the air and quickly unfolded in a way that Xu Shangqi could not see or understand, and armed his body.

Xu Shangqi found that a thin layer of membrane was attached to his wrists, ankles and the lowest ribs, which was still flashing with a mysterious luster.

Steve pointed to the door of a room opposite, then stepped back on the spot, sprinted and jumped directly to the corridor opposite the patio, and stood behind the railing and waved to Xu Shangqi.

Xu Shangqi took two steps back with some hesitation, slowly spread his arms, lifted his feet off the ground, and then flew towards the opposite side like he was drunk.

He found that this thing did not require special concentration to control. The feeling of using it was a bit like swimming in the water with a propeller on your back, and you could control the direction and speed with your muscles.

After Xu Shangqi landed, he let out a long breath, as if he was a little stunned. Steve walked up and patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is the latest technology neural electrical control compression magic exoskeleton, so I said, you came at the right time. There was no such good thing before. If you want to fly, you can only rely on talent."

But Steve found that Xu Shangqi's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and then he heard him say in an excited tone in Chinese that Steve couldn't understand, "Isn't this a flying plug-in?!"

Xu Shangqi took a deep breath, he slowly walked towards the railing, and then looked at the flying agent and muttered to himself, "I was wondering why there is no system! There are so many things here. "Golden finger!"

"No... I was just an ordinary person before." He frowned again, looking at the sunlight shining from the translucent ceiling at the top of the hive, and said with some fascination: "Every agent here has a golden finger, so what about ordinary people?"

"Ordinary people may have one too." Xu Shangqi said as if recalling: "Those buses and trains flying in the sky, they can also fly, and ordinary people can also fly."

In Xu Shangqi's mind, countless fragmented fantasies formed a picture. At the moment before his death, he clearly saw the truck driver closing his eyes, sleeping while driving.

Xu Shangqi knew very well that the full cargo in the back of the carriage might have been in another distant city the night before, and today it was put into the factory assembly line to become a product, and then returned to every ordinary person.

But the fatigued truck driver hit Xu Shangqi and killed him, which meant that they would never reach the factory again.

Truck drivers, taxi drivers and himself will never reach the planned end of life again.

No worker in this world will deliberately use mistakes to damage the fruits of their labor. They must maintain a balance between the pursuit of efficiency and the guarantee of safety, which is like dancing on a knife edge.

Xu Shangqi was anxious to return to his internship unit to work overtime, taxi drivers were anxious to pick up passengers to make money, and truck drivers were anxious to deliver goods. Unfortunately, the fragile balance between efficiency and safety was broken, resulting in the tragedy of three people or three families. 棽

But if... Xu Shangqi thought of another possibility. If there was a more efficient means of transportation flying in the sky, which could automatically operate around the clock and take him to the place he wanted to go, could this tragedy be avoided?

Xu Shangqi walked along the railing all the way forward. He thought, what the university teacher said was right. All deficiencies are deficiencies in productivity.

But now, the picture of a developed future unfolded before his eyes, making him realize that one day in the future, the deficiencies in productivity will be made up, people will fly freely in the sky, and thousands of tragedies like his will no longer happen.

Standing in the corridor in the center of the hive, Xu Shangqi slowly tightened his fingers around the railing, and the spark rooted in the hearts of every Chinese began to burn brighter and brighter.
