The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman.

Chapter 1308 Interstellar Stage (22)
"Xu, you must have just come here, right? After you get acquainted with the workplace, we can go to the cafeteria to eat together, and then go to the logistics support department to get your work uniform and badge."

Steve's voice was always very calm, giving people a strong sense of security, and his expression was always smiling, looking very amiable, and he could be said to be a ray of light among those vicious agents.

But even if Steve didn't act so gentle, Xu Shangqi had almost set his eyes on him.

"Let's go, let's get on the shuttle first. You work at another base of S.H.I.E.L.D., 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 Shang cleared his throat angrily, but he couldn't help but look at Steve, and said with some doubts, "Why aren't you wearing a uniform?"

Indeed, although the Steve in front of him is holding a shield representing him as Captain America, he is not wearing a uniform, but wearing a tracksuit, which looks like a mountaineer.

Steve was a little surprised when he heard the question, and said, "Who can wear a uniform all the time? It's not a combat mission, so of course I wear civilian clothes."

"Ah..." Xu Shang responded angrily, and then he realized that, indeed, he had traveled here, not watching a movie or comics, and no superhero would wear their uniform 24 hours a day.

And Xu Shangqi knew that he was not an important person, how could it be worthwhile for Captain America to come to see him in full armor?
Be a passerby in the Marvel world?It sounds a bit useless, after all, because of the battle of these superheroes, people die every day in New York, and passers-by are likely to die in the aftermath of the battle, but if you put it another way, it sounds much better to be a civil servant in the Marvel world up?
Be a street hero or a civil servant?
Xu Shangqi, as a fresh-blooded young man, of course chose to never look back...a civil servant!

Western civilization and its descendants are essentially marine civilizations, and they cannot understand the pursuit of stability engraved in the bones of land civilizations in eastern countries.

Therefore, in their eyes, Orientals are very strange. They can choose a more passionate life, but they are only willing to stand still, but in order to pursue this kind of stable life that can be seen at a glance, they are willing to go to bloody revolution.

Since ancient times, the unification that all kings have pursued is nothing more than the pursuit of stable power. The same is true for kings and ordinary people. Xu Shangqi touched his conscience and said that if violent means and civilized means can change the Marvel world, Then he must choose civilized means.

Then, he understood why Schiller was a psychiatrist at S.H.I.E.L.D. instead of going out to be a superhero.

Perhaps, even if he has special abilities, he would not do so. This is the essential difference in the cultural thinking of the East and the West. In the final analysis, China’s struggle for hegemony is a strategy of fighting while building, rather than a pirate mentality of grabbing one vote and running away. .

On the way to the secret agent training academy with Steve, Xu Shangqi kept thinking, now that he has become a civil servant of S.H.I.E.L.D. Make the Marvel universe more stable?
Xu Shangqi is not stupid, or in other words, Easterners living in the Western world always have a kind of aura from the wisdom of their ancestors, allowing them to find the answer to everything from the historical stories they have recited 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 sure that the development of human technology in the Marvel world in the movie hadn't reached this level, at least not for civilian use.

However, from the previous conversation between Schiller and Zheng Xian, Xu Shangqi learned that not only one or two countries have advanced technology, it seems that all countries have maintained their original political systems, but technology has advanced a step. very strange.

Xu Shangqi's vision of a political system in which mankind jointly develops technology and enters the world in the space age must at least be an earth federation. However, it seems that the world's technology has developed, but political culture has not developed much, but that's okay, let him more adaptable.

Such a situation is not without its disadvantages. Due to the struggle between countries and international relations, everything has to bring a lot of political considerations, and many technologies cannot cooperate smoothly. Isn’t this a waste of the dividends from the initial interstellar period?

Thinking of this, Xu Shangqi suddenly realized that his position is really important, because he can connect two superpowers. Although he is only an intern agent, this internship job is also the only one, which is not as important as he imagined. People speak lightly.

Looking at the previous attitudes of Zheng Xian and Schiller, it seems that they intend to cooperate in the construction of dream world technology, and the place of their meeting is in the dream, that is to say, it may not be convenient for them to meet in the real world. It seems that there is still some resistance to the cooperation of this technology.

Xu Shangqi rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought. He was thinking about what he could do to let his compatriots who are thousands of miles away continue to roll in dreams. What is the resistance?What is the breaking point?
"Xu, Xu, what are you thinking? We're here."

Steve's voice rang in Xu Shangqi's ear, Xu Shangqi was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, he showed a sorry smile to Steve, and said: "Ah, I'm sorry, I just Lost mind."

Steve patted him on the back with a smile, and walked out of the shuttle with him. What appeared in front of him was a secret agent base that looked like an alien city.

The building in the middle is an icosahedron. The tall buildings on both sides are symmetrical, like a dagger. The three buildings are connected together, and there is a huge space carrier floating in the sky.

"The timing of your entry 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 half-jokingly said: "The technologies used in the buildings here are all the latest and most cutting-edge, including air conditioners, fresh air systems, and cold and heat exchange channels, all of which are the most advanced versions at present. The greenhouses and farms for cultivating ingredients are all It is the same type as the Mercury Base, guaranteed to be 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, Xu Shangqi also took it and put it on, and then entered the phone like Grandma Liu. Walked into this huge base like the Grand View Garden.

As soon as he walked into this building, Xu Shangqi was stunned. In the indescribably huge space, countless agents wearing SHIELD uniforms came and went, not the kind of walking on the ground, but flying in the air. from 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 a set of exoskeleton devices that don't look obvious from the outside, and then shuttle between various departments like bees returning to their nests.

In the middle of the entire building is a huge patio hole, reaching the top floor of the building, so that the flying agent can reach the department he wants to go to at the fastest speed and the shortest distance.

Just when Xu Shangqi stood there in shock, Steve took out a small iron piece 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 in a daze and asked, "What is this?"

"Aren't you envious that they can fly?" Steve showed a bright smile and said, "Your expression says this, don't be envious, you can fly when you wear it."

Xu Shangqi blinked, then looked down at the small iron piece in his hand, swallowed his saliva and asked, "How to wear it?"

"Throw it in the air with the most handsome posture."

Xu Shangqi's eyes widened, and then he stretched out his other hand, and slammed the wrist of the hand holding the iron piece, and the iron piece flew into the air, so that Xu Shangqi couldn't see clearly at all. An unknown method quickly unfolded and armed his body.

Xu Shangqi found that there was a thin layer of film around his wrist, ankle and the bottom rib, which was still shining with a mysterious luster.

Steve pointed at the door of the opposite room, then backed away on the spot, took off with a fast sprint, jumped directly to the corridor opposite the patio, and stood behind the railing and waved to Xu Shangqi.

Xu Shangqi took two steps back hesitantly, slowly spread out his arms, lifted his feet off the ground, and then flew towards the opposite side as if he was drunk.

He found that this thing does not require special attention to control. It feels a bit like swimming in water with a propeller on your back, and you can control the direction and speed with your muscles.

After Xu Shangqi fell to the ground, he let out a long breath, as if he was a little stunned, Steve stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said: "This is a compressed magic exoskeleton controlled by the latest technology, 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 noticed that Xu Shangqi's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and then he heard him say a sentence in Chinese that Steve couldn't understand in an excited tone, "Isn't this a flying cheat?!"

Xu Shangqi took a deep breath, walked towards the railing slowly, then looked at the flying agent and muttered to himself: "I said why there is no system! There are cheating fingers everywhere!"

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

"Ordinary people may have them too." Xu Shangqi said as if recalling: "The kind of buses and trains that fly in the sky, they can also fly, and ordinary people can also fly."

Countless fragmentary fantasies in Xu Shangqi's mind made up a picture. At the moment before he died, he clearly saw the truck driver with his eyes closed, sleeping and driving at the same time.

Xu Shangqi knew very well that the goods behind the compartment might have been in another distant city the night before, but today they went to the factory and put them into the assembly line to become products, and then returned to the hands of every ordinary person.

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

Never again will the truck driver, the taxi driver, and himself reach the end of their planned lives.

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

Xu Shang was anxious to go back to the internship unit to work overtime, the taxi driver was eager to solicit customers to earn money, and the truck driver was eager to deliver the goods. Unfortunately, the fragile balance between efficiency and safety was broken, leading to the tragedy of three people or three families.

But if Xu Shangqi thinks of another possibility, if there is a more efficient means of transportation flying in the sky, which can automatically operate around the clock and send him to the place he wants to go, can this tragedy be avoided?
Xu Shangqi walked along the railing all the way, he thought, what the university teacher said was right, all the shortcomings are the lack of productivity.

But now, a developed future is unfolding in front of his eyes, making him truly realize that one day in the future, the lack of productivity will be made up, people will fly freely in the sky, and thousands of tragedies like him will never be over. occur.

Standing in the corridor in the middle of the hive, Xu Shangqi slowly clenched his fingers on the railing, and the spark rooted in the hearts of every Chinese began to burn more and more vigorously.
