Chapter 1643 No Time to Die (VI)

Most of the signs of the human industrial revolution are breakthroughs in the fields of energy and power. Therefore, modern historians believe that humans will inevitably have new energy sources with higher utilization rates and cleaner energy during the third industrial revolution.

And now, humans do have it. With the further construction of the Mercury base, various countries are producing and extracting parts and materials for solar energy-related equipment. In the era of space development, those who have the ability to fly out first can eat the biggest cake.

When the photos of the Mercury base were published in the official media of various countries, most ordinary people felt as if they were in another world. They thought it was a scene in a new Hollywood blockbuster, or the result of a photographer who wanted to be famous.

When the official media confirmed the authenticity of the photo, a storm of public opinion swept the world, and the article of the French historian was turned out from the corners - he was right, the third industrial revolution began.

The sign of the beginning of the third industrial revolution of mankind is that mankind successfully built the first solar energy collection station on Mercury, which is a statement currently recognized by the mainstream historian circle.

Humans can painlessly mine solar energy, which means a lot of things, but people still only care about two things: how hot can water be boiled? How far can stones fly?

Facts have proved that the third industrial revolution will be the most important industrial revolution in human history, because this time the stone can fly too far, about dozens of light years away.

After confirming this fact, another kind of confusion followed. People were not ready to accept the fact that humans have become an interstellar civilization. The spacecraft flew too far, and the thoughts have not yet spread their wings.

So, overnight, a drastic change of thought swept the world. The panic faction, the reflection faction, the radical faction, the conservative faction, the praise faction, the pessimism faction, the profit faction, and the justice faction, the entire cultural circle of mankind became a mess.

It can be said that all media have become a battlefield of public opinion. The craze of punk culture has made a good start. The anger and panic that should have been suppressed in the heart have all become fierce output texts.

Then the public opinion field, with its natural characteristics, washed away the sands. After people were tired of those purely emotional output opinions, they began to pursue more literary and artistic, or simply aesthetic information.

In this situation, where there is a market, there is creation. Literature and artists began to exert their strength. The newspaper debate that had not appeared for hundreds of years rose again. Many new critics showed their talents. Their sharp satire and classic writings became the center of people's daily topics.

Then, rock and rap, which have always focused on the environment of the times, made breakthrough changes. A lyrical rap album "We are running towards death within the high walls of the times" released by a rapper in prison became a hit. Then, the old rock band made a comeback, and a platinum album called "Sun" was released and dominated the charts again.

Then came the column interviews of major newspapers and the overwhelming news reports. In the endless ocean of opinions, only one opinion was generally recognized by the public, that is - "We seem to have really witnessed history."

Eddie Brock walked into the Spider-Leo base of S.H.I.E.L.D. He looked at the empty base, a little confused, and then walked towards the only figure sitting at the table.

"Gwen, what's going on? Where are all the people?"

Gwen Spider-Man said while typing away on the keyboard without raising her head: "Who are you looking for?"

"Peter Parker."

"You came at an unlucky time. If you had shouted like this at this time in normal times, you would have been drowned out by Peter Parker."

"So where are they all? Well, where is the Peter of our universe?"

"He was borrowed by the editor of the Global Times to have a quarrel."

"Uh...what about the Amazing Spider-Man?"

"He was borrowed by the editor of the New York Times to have a quarrel."

"Where is Miles?"

"He was borrowed by the editor of the Daily Bugle to have a quarrel."

"Why do they want to borrow Spider-Man to have a quarrel?"

"Because there are quarrels everywhere, and they all think they can win the quarrel." Gwen Spider-Man was concentrating on writing her paper. She pressed the Enter key vigorously, then turned to look at Eddie and said: "I know you might also want to borrow a Spider-Man to have a quarrel. After all, we are recognized as "But you came a little late. Now I'm the only one here, and I have to rush to finish my thesis. My proposal report has been sent back for rewriting. The deadline is tonight. I'm afraid you can only go and argue by yourself." "I came to Peter for his interview." Eddie shook his head and said, "I don't have time to participate in their quarrel. I have a documentary to shoot." "I heard that you want to shoot a documentary on superheroes." Gwen asked with some interest while typing and looking back, "How much have you shot now? Do you have a sample?" Speaking of this, Eddie sighed deeply and said, "I seem to have been cursed, that is, 'the actors I urgently need must have a reason to leave New York in the near future'. All the clips were only half shot. I was expecting Spider-Man to be the first theme to be completed. "

Eddie shook his head and sighed, turned around and walked out, muttering: "I have to talk to Schiller about this. I know they are very busy, but if no one cooperates with me, this film will not be finished in ten years."

Eddie found Schiller in the office of Arkham Sanatorium. Before he entered the office, he heard Schiller's voice coming from the door intermittently, as if he was talking to someone on the phone.

"Being busy at work is just a temporary excuse. You can't use it to hook him for life. Demons usually don't have the same abundant curiosity as humans. Maybe at the beginning she will be more interested and want to find out why you are avoiding her, but she will give up soon."

"Mr. Thanos, you have to understand one thing. Drag someone to your side is not artificially creating a closed space. She will feel unfree and want to leave, and you have to do the opposite. You have to make her feel free and don't want to leave."

"Yes, generally speaking, this is a bit difficult, especially when the other party is a cosmic demon who is much more powerful than you, but as long as it is an intelligent life, there will be something to fear. You have to find the key ball first."

"Of course, if you make progress, you can contact me at any time. The universe has given too much to these gods, and we should take some back from it. It's my honor to help... OK, goodbye."

Thanos hung up the phone. He walked out of the bathroom and saw a woman in a black dress and a hood sitting on the sofa in his office.

"What's wrong, dear? What took you so long?"

Thanos said calmly: "My clothes were unfortunately caught on my belt. It took me some effort to untie them. Now I have some time. What do you want me to do for you?"

Death looked a little surprised. She didn't expect Thanos to spare the time so quickly. She sat on the sofa and raised her legs, cleared her throat, and then said: "You should know that the faith of humans on Earth has special power, right?"

Thanos nodded and sat opposite Death. Death reached out and gathered his hood and said: "One of my old enemies, 'Annihilation', is now busy spreading his faith on Earth. I hope you can stop him. He, or at least make things go less smoothly. "

"Do you have a grudge against him?"

"Not really." Death floated behind Thanos, bent down and held his face with cold fingers, and said: "I just hope you can do one thing for me. This is just a small gift for our reunion after a long separation. It is your chance to express your love for me. Honey, you will, right?"

Thanos immediately remembered the content of the "obedience test in mental manipulation" that Schiller had introduced in class before, that is, asking the other party to help do a small thing to test the difficulty of the other party's obedience. If the other party does it, then he will fall into the trap of mental manipulation step by step.

Thinking of the most basic solution Schiller mentioned in that class, Thanos compared the situation he was facing now and began to think about the response strategy quickly.

Usually many people know that they should refuse in this situation directly, especially when the other party has no interest relationship with you, just say "no". Sometimes you should also emphasize "I have no obligation to do this for you", so that the refusal can be more reasonable.

But if you want to reject the other party in a tactful way without offending them, many people will make a mistake, that is, they will start to make excuses, such as they are very busy, so they can't do it for the time being. It seems that this is a rejection, but in fact it is still in line with the other party's wishes to complete the obedience test, because the act of making excuses itself symbolizes retreat.

Thanos' instinctive reaction is also to say that he is busy at work so he has no time. First, he is really busy at work, and second, he does have some illusions in his heart that the other party can understand him. A big illusion of intelligent life is that the other party can understand me.

But he had to reverse this instinctive reaction and adopt a more skillful way to communicate.

"No, I'm afraid I can't do that." Thanos took a deep breath in his heart and tried his best to reproduce Schiller's demeanor in class. He stared at Death with a focused look and said, "As you said, we finally reunited, why waste time on these unimportant things?"

After that, he leaned forward, stretched out his hand and held Death's hand and said, "I have imagined this day of reunion countless times, but when this day really came, I realized that I can't stand even a moment of separation."

Just as Death was about to open her mouth to say something, Thanos interrupted her, stretched out a hand and said, "Of course, I always regard your affairs as more important than my own feelings. Of course I am willing to do this for you, but can't we go together?"

Thanos was actually reproducing the method of dealing with this obedience test that Schiller talked about in class, that is, to find a way to throw the mistake to the other party. I don't do it not because I don't want to do it or I can't do it, but because you didn't provide me with certain conditions, so I can't do it.

However, this kind of shirking of responsibility should not be too blunt. Using the principle of reverse compliance test, first propose a condition that the other party is likely to agree to. If the other party agrees, then propose a more radical one.

Thanos originally thought that if Death really agreed to go with him, then he would suggest that they go directly to Annihilation to fight. Judging from Death's attitude, she would not go directly to Annihilation, otherwise she would not come to him.

But Death's reaction was completely beyond Thanos's expectations. Death was stunned at first, and then shook her head faster than a rattle, shaking her head and saying: "No, no, I can't go to Earth!"

Thanos slowly narrowed his eyes. Judging from Death's body movements just now, it seemed that there was something terrible on Earth. Could this be the key goal that Schiller mentioned?

At this time, in the office of Arkham Sanatorium, on the single sofa next to the coffee table, Schiller put one leg on the other leg and said to Eddie who was sitting on the sofa opposite: "... So, in your relationship with Venom, he has always been manipulating you, and this originated from the first thing he asked you to do after he possessed you."

"But I couldn't refuse him at the time!" Eddie explained excitedly. In the previous hour, he had never refuted Schiller at all. He desperately wanted to get back on his feet.

"Can you imagine? An ordinary human heard the voice of an alien, and my mental state was not very good at that time. I thought he would hurt me, so I..."

"Yes, but when you later determined that he would not hurt you, you did not want to reverse this relationship... Why not?"

"I, I think we are friends, manipulation sounds a bit too evil." Eddie said with some embarrassment.

"But I think you have realized that complete indulgence is not a good thing. You should treat him as your child. You need enough authority to guide him and let him do the right thing."

Eddie started to swing around again. Obviously, Venom was making trouble in his heart again. He pulled Eddie to the left hard, and his chair slid on the floor with a harsh sound. Schiller's eyes instantly fell on the chair legs.

"No, Venom! Damn it, don't do this... Schiller is right, you should be disciplined. Can you be a little polite?"

At this time, Schiller's phone rang, Schiller picked it up and said to the other side.

"Hello? Loki, did the method I told you the other day work? Frigga feels guilty? Yes, it worked. No, don't be shaken by this. Isn't there Odin?"

"Yes, that's right. Just keep going along this path. Okay, call me if there's any new progress... You're welcome. It's my honor to help you."

Loki put down the phone. When she heard the noise coming from outside her bedroom, she stuffed the phone under her pillow.

At this time, Loki was lying on the bed, with her black hair hanging behind her ears. She coughed a few times with a pale face.

Frigga and Odin walked in one after the other. When Frigga saw Loki's face, she quickly rushed to the bedside and hugged her daughter in her arms. She said to Odin behind her in a very rare angry tone.

"You are an irresponsible father! You haven't cared about Loki's physical condition for so many years. You are responsible for most of her illness. Odin, I've had enough!"

The disease is spreading from person to person (sad)
