Chapter 3048 Mercury Notes (VIII)

Chapter 3022 Mercury (8)

Schiller took a cursory glance at the people in the hall. There were about 100 people gathered here at this time, with an average of about 30 people from each force. From the physical and mental state, it can be seen that they are all the elites. These people should be Will be the mainstay of the Justice League in the future.

Of course, there will definitely be more than these people in the future, but the first group of people are crucial. They are the most important cornerstone for subsequent work. The management and training of these people must not be careless.

Fortunately, both Bruce and Oliver have strong management experience. They are both from wealthy families. Bruce runs the Wayne Group, and Oliver led the Mexican Revolutionary Army. These two organizations have at least tens of thousands of people, and they can Putting the management responsibility on one shoulder, it is still easy to manipulate these hundreds of people.

Soon, the teams in the hall were organized. The simplest method of lining up according to height was adopted. The number of people was counted. After the list was determined again, lots were drawn to determine the class.

There are no targeted courses in basic training. The main purpose is to familiarize students with social conditions, so there is no need to divide students into classes according to race and ability. Classes are mainly for arranging living quarters.

More than 100 people were divided into 4 classes, with an average of 25 to 30 people in each class. Each class had a monitor. Bruce and Oliver served as class teachers, each leading two classes. The others were not only responsible for teaching, but also for logistics management.

After all, Schiller also received a salary as a consultant for the Justice League, so he also became a professor of psychology.

However, for this group of students, psychology is not a very important course. Schiller only has about two or three classes a week, and the teaching task is not heavy.

But this does not mean that his job is easy, because he still has to hold group meetings for graduate and doctoral students remotely, as well as online classes for undergraduate students, so he is basically not idle at the end of the week.

Bruce and Clark took the students to visit the living area, while Diana took Schiller and Oliver. Both of them were here for the first time, and Diana personally showed them around the dormitories and offices.

The living area on the Mercury base is different from all the houses they have lived in before. There is basically no atmosphere of life, and the main emphasis is on a sense of technology.

Just like in many movies, the bedroom has a metal floor and walls, and a sleeping cabin that looks like a small spaceship. The office has a holographic projection screen with suspended seats. All light sources are hidden in the room, and only visible It's bright, but I can't see where it is bright.

Schiller is willing to call this decoration style Stark aesthetic.

In fact, Stark has the technology to build a normal house inside the Mercury base, but he is just unwilling to do so. He is the kind of person who is afraid that others will not know the technological content of his creations, so he must pile all the technological concentration on it. On the surface.

Schiller actually likes this simple style, mainly because the space is large and bright, and it has a fully automatic cleaning function, so he does not need to clean it.

Oliver is obviously very satisfied. He and Schiller live across the door and share a very spacious office. When Schiller is busy with other things, Oliver can help him study through the screen.

It was almost lunch time. Diana ordered her meal on the electronic screen. About ten minutes later, the robot delivered the hot meal. Schiller discovered that it was freshly cooked.

"Most of the facilities here used to maintain basic survival are fully automated. We only need to prepare the raw materials."

"You mean we need to transport ingredients from the earth?" Oliver asked.

"No, no, no, as long as you have plant seeds, planting, raising, picking, and cooking are all done by machines." Diana said: "According to Bruce, this set of equipment comes with some space seeds that have been tested, but It takes some time to grow up, so Clark still got some food and supplements, which should be enough for everyone. "

"It's amazing," Oliver exclaimed, holding the coffee cup.

"Actually, the most amazing thing is the energy system here." Diana has obviously communicated with Bruce. She said: "The energy system can extract almost unlimited amounts of clean energy from the sun and send it back to the earth in the form of radio waves. ”

"They've achieved infinite energy? I mean, the universe that invented this device?"

"Yes, but this is only the threshold for interstellar exploration. All civilizations that can leave the galaxy have basically achieved unlimited energy in a narrow sense. It is just a matter of efficiency in extraction and utilization."

"Infinite energy in a narrow sense, which means it's not infinite enough?"

"Yes, from our point of view, the energy in the sun is endless, but that is only because we consume less. I heard that one of the three major empires in their universe consumes one every two minutes on average. The energy of the sun.”

"God, it's unimaginable."

"But when they reach that level, they naturally have another kind of infinite energy." Schiller said: "And there are also universe administrators. They will maintain the dynamic balance of the universe's mass consumption and growth, and stop abnormal consumption in a timely manner."

"What is abnormal consumption?"

"The consumption of civilization development is not abnormal. What we need to watch out for are strange things like the invasion of other universes." Schiller said. He often listened to Greed talking in the tower, and he also had some understanding of abstractions such as eternity and the work content of entities.

Oliver lowered his head and glanced at his watch and said, "Why haven't Clark and the others come back yet? Is the living area over there big?"

"The living area of ​​the entire base is beyond imagination." Diana sighed a little. She said: "It is from the scale of this base that I deeply realized how developed that universe was. At its peak, there might be people here. 40,000 to 50,000 employees work at the same time in an orderly manner without any chaos.”

"It's amazing." Oliver put down the sandwich in his hand and said, "We will have such a day, there is no need to rush."

"However, I think they are not here for lunch." Diana continued: "There is still some unfinished work on Earth. Maybe we will not see them until dinner."

"There should be some people who need to be picked up, right?" Schiller said: "I don't see any young heroes who have some reputation on earth."

"Yes, we have contacted many of them, and most of them have expressed their willingness to join. After a preliminary assessment, we have selected some of them, but because they are all over the world, they may not join us next time. arrived within a week.”

"Who are they probably?" Schiller asked.

"Based on the lists of Robins and Teen Titans from other universes, we found Cassandra Cain who was still in Hong Kong. She had just graduated from college and started a company, but Blue Beetle suffered a business crisis and was expelled from the team for gambling. The Golden Pioneer, who is in deep professional crisis, and the Magical Twins, who have caused a lot of troubles not long after landing on Earth, are a bit like a weakened version of Professor

"Didn't you find Starfire?" Schiller asked.

Diana shook her head and said, "According to the information sent back by Hal, Starfire has not yet reached Earth, and he has sent Green Lantern to keep an eye on her. If she gets close to Earth, we will receive the message."

"What about the spoiler?"

"Stephanie? We found her father's identity information, but when Gotham was first frozen, her father escaped from prison and disappeared. He has not come back yet, and she has no activities in Gotham."

Diana shook her head and said: "The situation in our universe is too different from other universes. First of all, it is younger. Many members of the Justice League from other universes have not yet appeared and cannot be found. For example, until now, we have not No news from Martian Manhunter.”

"Those who are found, some are too young and not suitable to become superheroes, and some have their destiny trajectories changed and simply become ordinary people. We cannot force them to follow the path of other universes."

"Most of the young heroes that can be found now are born with superpowers and are of a suitable age. The most important thing is that they are willing to come. If they are not willing, we cannot force them."

But Oliver shook his head and said: "Some are too hesitant. I guess many of them must have encountered trouble in ordinary society and want to use this place as a refuge, or simply for fame and fortune. "

"Although it doesn't mean that you can't do it for this, but using it as motivation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to persevere in the hard training."

"I have also discussed this issue with Bruce." Diana touched her ears and nodded: "We will try our best to set goals for the young heroes and let them have their own ideals. I believe they can also feel it. The charm of this career, but if they really can’t, then maybe they are not the successors we are looking for.”

"Don't worry too much, Oliver." Schiller also said: "Everything is lacking on the earth, except for young talents. Even if they are not willing now, when mankind enters the interstellar age, in order not to be eliminated, they must Try to keep up with the crowd.”

Oliver nodded and said, "Both Bruce and Clark asked me to talk more with young people. They felt that I could guide them."

"Of course you can." Diana said: "You are the spiritual leader of the Justice League. To a certain extent, all of us are here because of you."

"You don't need to do anything more. You just need to keep thinking and staying awake here, and you have already made a contribution to the Justice League and the entire human race."

Schiller also looked at Oliver and nodded. Diana was a very pragmatic person. She would not make meaningless flattery, and rarely offered comfort without conscience. She always had something to say and sought truth from facts.

The fact is that Oliver Queen is the most iconic spiritual leader in the Justice League and even around the world, a true Borderlessist and revolutionary.

Clark, Arthur and Hal followed him to fight guerrillas in Mexico. Bruce and Lex provided him with support behind the scenes. Diana cheered for him in the international social circle. Even Schiller often corresponded with him and talked philosophy with him. and doctrine.

Therefore, as long as he exists, he can inspire people, provide people with endless strength, and allow young people to see living legends and find their own direction.

Diana's cell phone rang. He picked it up, looked at it, and said, "Bruce and the others are back, and they've brought a few new people with them. Do we want to go over and have a look?"

"Let's go." Schiller and Oliver both stood up and said.
