I, the son of Akainu, am bound to the super template at the beginning

The beautiful country's Eastern Power Grid Company has a history of more than 100 years of construction and development. Initially, private and public power companies formed an isolated network based on their respective loads and power distribution. Later, it was gradually formed through a network joint operation agreement based on the principle of mutual benefit. Among the three major power grids in the United States, the eastern power grid is the strongest, selling 7.3 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity across the United States.

This is a huge company, and the two scapegoats who were slapped in the face by Pietro were instructed by one of the company's shareholders. It doesn't matter whether they got any special hints or had ulterior personal motives. Shane doesn't care what's going on, because in a zero-sum game, someone is always going to get hurt, and no other industry except the energy market can provide such stable profits, so the energy market is the only industry where action can be taken .

His opponent had recklessly decided to adopt this fighting style, and of course he responded in kind.

At this moment, he was standing in the night sky in the Lake District near Scranton.

Initially, Scranton's development was based on coal mining, but with the development of heavy oil, natural gas and electric heating models, anthracite was forced out of the energy supply market and the population continued to decline. Today, in addition to the beautiful Eastern Power Grid, which has the most important ring in the region Outside of the distribution network, there is little of note here.

Shane came to this distribution point from New York City, a hundred and twenty miles away.

Several repairmen covered in oil were pacing blankly below him. The outdoor weather in late autumn was extremely cold, and the wages were not very high. Of course, their enthusiasm for service could not be called active. They did not finish this round until midnight. 07 Don't even think about going out.

In this way, Shane has enough time to deal a fatal blow to the already dilapidated power grid.

"Look at these big guys, they are about to take the blame for their master's madness." He stood alone two hundred feet in the air, admiring the high-voltage transmission lines not far from his feet. He looked at the high-voltage transmission lines without any obstruction. The high-voltage current of 230,000 volts passed through these towers from the west to the west. It is transported eastward to New York and Philadelphia, providing light and heat to nearly a thousand cities in these two major cities.

Today, they will temporarily lose this convenience brought by modern technology, maybe for a few hours, maybe for a whole day, no one knows, it depends on the response speed of the network and whether the security measures they claim are true. So brilliant.

A gust of wind blew by, and a line suddenly swayed and connected with another parallel line. Sparks flew and the world fell into darkness.

The metropolis two hours' drive away is a bustling scene of lights and entertainment. Under the cover of night, the city blocks are neatly divided into light and dark parts. The east side is nestled against the Atlantic Ocean. It is surprisingly lively and crowded under the gentle night. In sharp contrast to the daytime, all the skyscrapers are shining without distracting from other scenery. The square below Rockefeller Center attracts people from all over the world like a chameleon. Various events are held here and DJs are already there. While calling people to come on stage, suddenly the whole world lost its light.

"Blackout?" People have been waiting for this for a long time. The power of superpowers is not comparable to the power grids of the third world. Governments and individuals have been calling for it for a long time, but the lax grid operators have never been able to make major changes. They just don't know that this time How long to stand in the dark.

Anxious people began to say swear words, and words starting with F and S blurted out. Under the weak illumination of electronic devices, the sidewalks and plants shone with faint reflections under the stars and moon, as if the world had just embarked on a journey. On the road to hell, more and more people can only see the shaking heads, but cannot clearly see their appearance.

"Look, there's light over there!" Across the wide Hudson River, the girl pointed to the opposite bank and shouted, where the office installed a new solar system, which now shines brightly in the darkness due to the sunlight collected during the day. light.

After a while, buildings that could use their own energy to power their own fires started to catch fire one after another, but nearby residents will never forget that at that moment, the whole world seemed to have fallen into darkness, but the mutant building still radiated light.

"What's going on?" A senior manager of the power system hurried to the control room. There was indeed electricity here, but the sky outside the window had gradually darkened. He thought that tomorrow there would be a lot of abuse in the newspapers, and there would be more There are those nasty hostile politicians who always want to show how much they care about the people by levying charges on the electricity system.

The thought of being surrounded by reporters again tomorrow made him upset and his head ached.

"The power is being restored." The engineer did not dare to delay and replied in as concise language as possible. "A power reversal occurred on the line between Western New York and Pittsburgh. Although the power transmitted on the line was only 300 to 500 megawatts, the reversal occurred when the power instantly increased to 1,000 megawatts, which is equivalent to a large power plant. Transmission power, we expect the reverse current may be as high as 3,000 megawatts, this is a normal phenomenon in power incidents and we are working to eliminate this phenomenon as quickly as possible."

"To hell with your normal life then check it out, get the engineers in the helicopter, I want them to trace the line in Pennsylvania before they are allowed to return

"The supervisor scoffed: Helicopter maintenance is of course very fast, but it is also very dangerous: you have to keep hovering over the wires to keep the crew sitting at the door of the aircraft still. If the aircraft touches the faulty wires during maintenance, then the aircraft and People on the plane may be electrocuted or even killed in the accident.

Such rapid overhauls cost a lot of money. Often only under strong political pressure, the power grid at that time was unwilling to offer huge bounties to recruit death squads. However, the situation has changed recently.

The new plan of manufacturing giant Stark Industries directly targets the power market. As the largest share of the Eastern Power Grid, it will obviously bear the brunt. At this moment, if nothing happens, it will be the greatest success, otherwise Stark's supporters will only be able to make jokes. You must know that change always starts from the smallest place, and the dam that has been stable for hundreds of years will often collapse in an unnoticeable ant nest. As an executive and shareholder, he should not see problems in his company at this time. .

At that moment, no one thought of Osborne; after all, this rooftop solar system was aimed at the small and medium-sized housing market, not the eastern metropolitan areas where demand was much greater, and no one knew it was the company's new owner who was causing the outage. , had just been freed from the arms business.

An inspection team was dispatched, but bad news soon followed.

Due to an accident in an important power system, the load on the entire power grid was extremely high. The power grid in the entire eastern part of the beautiful country was suddenly overloaded. Now the real accident finally showed its ugly face.

Beginning with lines in New York, Detroit and Cleveland and ending in Toronto and Ottawa in Canada, more than 100 power plants across the United States and Canada, including 22 nuclear power plants, automatically shut down for protection in one of the worst blackouts in North American history. Then it happened.

At the same time, in the triple crooked-wing building at 38N 5333.78" north latitude and 775338.91 east longitude, a one-eyed black man wearing an eyepatch stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the dim night scene outside the window. There had just been a power outage here, but luckily The SHIELD headquarters also had a power outage. As long as there was no invasion by foreign enemies, the one-eyed black man's stern face always maintained an unswerving, submissive calm, and the lights, elevators and defense systems were all working stably.

"That makes sense." Agent Coulson knocked on the door, walked in after getting permission, and handed several snapshots of faxed information to the black-clad Director 010.

"The initial cause was a short circuit in the power line. It may be that branches were blown up by the wind and hung on high-voltage lines, causing power backflow. This is a common problem, but the power system in the entire region began to take automatic protection measures to cut off communication with the overloaded system. Such a widespread power outage was caused by the outage of more than 100 power plants, including 22 nuclear reactors. Experts concluded that this was an unexpected reaction caused by an accident rather than an external attack."

"So, it's not humanity's fault?" the one-eyed black man asked, flipping through the newspaper.

"In principle, we can rule out the possibility of retaliation. Of course, you also know that the mutant's whereabouts are not easy to track, and he usually stays in Manhattan at this time. His entire office building has been renovated, and we even suspect that support The poles have been replaced, which means we have no way of eavesdropping or possibly peeping, so the only option at the moment is to monitor via email and phone lines, but he doesn't seem to be the type to use electronic devices a lot." Coulson He tried his best, but his target wasn't entirely human either.

"Too bad he had a conflict with the Cyber ​​Knights during the day, and there was a large-scale power outage at night. Do you think this is a coincidence?" Blake shook his head and did not ask Coulson to answer. "The last time I trusted someone I lost an eye and since then I have learned to be wary. I hope this is just an accident because there is no way we can contain it and if something like this happens again and again we will have to face a terrible The enemy, this is what I don’t want to see, but this is what I have to face, who made us become S.H.I.E.L.D.”

The man in black murmured to himself, wiping the smooth glass of the car window.

"We are the last line of defense, and we will burn ourselves to defend the last line of defense that needs to be defended."
