Marvel's Magnetic Field Turns

Chapter 3 Small Town Meteorite

This day is December 1999, 12, the last day of the old millennium. After twelve o'clock in the evening, we will usher in a new millennium belonging to mankind and a new century of technological explosion.

To celebrate the last day of this old era, many big names in the technology industry gathered in Bern, the capital of Switzerland, to hold a technology exchange meeting, and at the same time attract capital to invest in themselves.

In terms of scientific and technological research and development, no amount of money and material investment is enough.

On the roof of a hotel building, there was a cold wind blowing from time to time, and Killian stood in the wind without saying a word, but the cold wind took away his heat at night, and he shivered while wearing a cane.

An hour ago, Killian rushed to Tony Stark with his research materials. Full of confidence, he showed his research to Tony Stark with idol worship, hoping to get Stark's appreciation and appreciation. Invest to complete his research.

But Tony Stark's attention was all on Maya Hansen, the female companion at the time. "Meet me on the roof in an hour" perfunctory Killian, and then took Maya Hansen back to the room to discuss their respective research.

After all, Killian's appearance is too bad, with printed T-shirts and cheap jackets, he looks like a typical folk science - he usually thinks highly of himself, but actually knows a theory and starts the so-called "research" by patting his head.

No matter what the research did not produce, Minke's research derivation and experimental process were very imprecise, and even logically self-consistent, so clumsy that scum like Fang Shimin could mock it.

Even if something is really researched, their research has either been falsified, or it has been applied long ago but has not been understood at all; or it has been sealed up by capitalists as a technical reserve, and then released little by little like squeezing toothpaste. .

So an hour later, Killian didn't wait for Tony Stark. He already understood that he couldn't wait for his idol tonight, or even in the future, and he was a joke.

The physical incompleteness made Killian feel inferior, and his research was also carried out to make up for his own defects. This expectation was shattered, and his inferiority complex was exposed, and Killian began to go to extremes.

Hobbling on crutches to the edge of the roof, Killian felt dizzy as he looked at the ground below.

When he was hesitating whether to jump down to end his ridiculous life, the bell of the new century rang, and the celebration fireworks went up together with the cheers of the crowd.

The despair in Killian's heart turned into hatred at this moment, and he wanted to take revenge on Tony Stark who humiliated him, and this revenge would not stop until everything about Stark was destroyed.

As if confirming Killian's determination, the moonlit night sky lit up—it was a meteorite attracted by the earth's gravity.

It was brought from outside the solar system, it was not captured by the gravity of Jupiter, and it was not blocked by the moon. Rapid consumption emits a dazzling light.

The meteor that pierced the night sky seemed to celebrate the new era of mankind. After cutting into the atmosphere, it crossed half of the earth, and finally fell in a small town in Kansas, the United States. The huge impact force completely destroyed the small town. Leave it in the old days forever.

The number of meteorites that fall to the earth every year is a huge number. On average, the material brought to the earth by meteorites is as high as dozens or even hundreds of tons a year.

Most of these meteorites will be turned into dust in the friction with the atmosphere, and very few of them can survive. In addition, 70.00% of the earth's area is covered by oceans, and the land is not occupied by human beings. Not widely, and there are even fewer meteorites discovered by humans.

The meteorite that destroyed a town in Kansas was a once-in-a-century meteorite, so it got the name of the town that was destroyed and was named the Small Town Meteorite.

After the meteorite fell, there was a special agency to recover it. Some trace substances on the earth were brought to the earth by the meteorite over the long years.

As they expected, this meteorite is an iron meteorite. The metal composition in it is quite excellent, as if it has been artificially processed. The best alloy on earth is only a line higher than it, and it is still produced in small batches in the laboratory regardless of cost. kind of.

Through the reverse analysis of this metal, many technologies that have been stagnant due to material limitations can be developed, and Meidi's leadership in all aspects can be further improved.

But what the meteorite brings is not a gift, but also a disaster. The destruction of a small town is just the beginning, and the alien life form Zerg that descends on the earth along with the meteorite poses a greater threat to humans.

It was a green life form with a whole body, its shape resembled the chrysalis of some insects, its body surface was covered with various wrinkles, and it had hands and feet that resembled humans but were asymmetrical.

Zerg has the ability of mimicry, can change its appearance at will to pretend to be anyone, and even copy its memory.Moreover, their physical fitness is far superior to that of humans, so that the Zergs can kill the mimicked people immediately after the mimicry, and destroy the corpses and traces through the secreted special acid. There are countless zerg that have been lurking in human society.

Later, the exposure of the Zerg bug was just a coincidence. When a person who mimicked the Zerg was doing a physical examination, the doctor found that the Zerg mimic was different from normal people in some physiological aspects through medical equipment. After reporting to the relevant department, the Zerg existence has been known.

But just like the saying, "As long as you see one cockroach at home, it means that there are hundreds of cockroaches hiding in the house." Before the discovery of the zerg, human society had been infiltrated thousands of times by the zerg. It was riddled with sores.

Before the Zerg was exposed, there was an urban legend circulating among the people - if one day you see someone exactly like you, then your death will not be far away, that person is your double body, He or she will kill you and live as you.

The high-level U.S. imperialists started self-examination and found that many high-ranking people had been replaced by mimics. Although the president who had a lot of ties was still himself, he lost his eligibility for re-election and resigned after a four-year term.

The Secretary of Defense appointed by the new president is a typical hawk. Under his leadership, the war against the Zerg was launched. However, under the strong demands of interest groups, the foreign war to maintain the hegemony of the US Empire was still launched. The World Trade Center He did not escape the ending of being blasted by his own people.

However, the war has plunged the U.S. Empire into a quagmire. Not to mention to the outside world, the war against alien life forms is not going well. It is not an easy task to find the lurking Zerg from the total population of the U.S. Empire’s 2.85 million people. It is the object that the zerg will change their mimicry when they find that the situation is not good for them.

Moreover, the single-body strength of the Zerg is very strong. If it is a Zerg in the pupa state, the human army can destroy it at a certain price; and once the Zerg mimics to a certain extent, it will enter the molt stage and develop into a more powerful monster. An adult insect that is powerful and possesses a speed that surpasses the ability of human vision to capture.

For this reason, the U.S. imperialists changed their tactics and turned to the improvement of individual combat effectiveness of soldiers. Many projects that reduced capital investment because of no results were put on the stage, such as the "superhuman serum" that reproduced the miracle of Captain America. Group's "Human Enhancement Potion".
