The discussion of the Future Technology Foundation continues, but Merlin has left Vienna and he has more important things to do.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. has adopted a series of "technical" measures to prevent the fermentation of events in the Eichenwalde region, it was difficult to really hide that big movement that night. This matter requires a conclusion. Merlin is busy for this.
Fortunately, with the influence of Little Hermione and Little Potter among European wizards, on the second day of the incident, SHIELD received the help of a group of wizards of the Ministry of Magic. Through large-scale use of repair spells, SHIELD The agents of the bureau took less than 5 hours to restore the Eichenwalde industrial zone to a "should" scenario.
At noon, the blocked factory area was also open to some reporters. Of course, these reporters were carefully selected before being allowed to enter the factory area for interviews.
They are all mainstream media, and they are accustomed to speaking with facts, rather than those lace tabloids who like to catch the wind and catch the shadows, spreading gossip everywhere, lest the world is not messy.
This includes Merlin’s old friends.
"They said there was an earthquake here last night?"
Miss Louise Lien sits on the smart car in the Echenwald Industrial Park. She looks at the slightly disturbed internal buildings of the Smart Industrial Park curiously. She has been to the Nubany Industrial Park in Africa. The atmosphere here is very similar, and they all look very organized.
But Louise was obviously more interested in the surrounding medieval buildings.
Beside her, Clark is also holding a camera, recording the industrial machinery robots on the roadside that are cleaning up the rubble after the earthquake, and some official staff from Germany, it seems that they are investigating the situation after the earthquake.
Facing Louise's inquiry, Clark said softly:
"Maybe it's an earthquake, hasn't the Seismological Bureau also confirmed it? A small-scale earthquake, the source of which was in the sea, just covered the industrial zone, causing the collapse of buildings and damage to some equipment."
"Onika Group was quite generous this time and did not stop our interview."
Louise grabbed the camera and took a few pictures of the robots that were cleaning the ruins. She said:
"Probably also because of the fear of causing public panic. Now this place is almost full of rumors. The local tabloids exaggerated that someone saw the mythical monster Kraken rising from the sea, saying that the sea monster is attacking the industrial park and believes. Quite a lot."
"This is normal, Louise."
Clark twisted the camera, he said:
"I heard some local colleagues say that people in this place have always been superstitious. And the local people have a bad sense of the industrial park. I heard that when they established the industrial zone in Eichenwalde, the residents nearby Not very happy, many people are unemployed."
"However, Onika Group has built several raw material processing plants near the industrial park, but it has provided more and better-paid jobs than before."
The famous reporter Miss instinctively felt that this matter was not normal, but she could not find evidence. She was like fighting with her boyfriend. She grabbed the smart station and got up. A long shot came to the smart tower in the distance. Filming, she said:
"And the industrial park pays local governments a dozen times more tax than before. No one except the die-hards wants this industrial park to move away from the local..."
"Why, how could this pier be destroyed like this? Logically speaking, even an earthquake would not cause such a large-scale collapse... Did the Onika Group use substandard materials? Internal corruption? Or accidents?"
Louise seemed to smell the news. She stopped the smart car, quickly took the camera and rushed towards the completely collapsed pier.
Clark hurried to keep up, and after running a few steps, Clark turned back, and saw Merlin in a windbreaker standing on the side of the road like a ghost. He pointed to Louise in front of Clark, and then shook Shook his head.
Clark suddenly understood.
He turned to his girlfriend and said:
"Louis, the press conference of Onika Group is about to begin... we are going to be late, come and see it later!"
A few minutes later, Clark persuaded that Louise, who had found some clues, got on the smart car and left the dock. Merlin watched them leave, and he looked at the collapsed dock again. He pushed his glasses and said:
"Seriously, if it were not for me to know that Miss Louise was just an ordinary person, sometimes I really felt that she was also superpowered...she could always find some hidden information that others could not find."
"There are always people who are sensitive in some respects, Merlin, you can understand that maybe Miss Louise's super power is to constantly discover hot news."
Icarus's lens quickly scanned the collapsed wharf, and quickly identified several twisted metal barrels buried under the ruins. Merlin waved his hands, and in the gravitational jump of change, those deep buried Below, the undiscovered wreckage was cleared, and then put into a smart car parked next to it.
"To be honest, Merlin, the rhetoric of the earthquake is really bad."
Icarus commented:
"It will definitely cause a lot of suspicion."
"But as long as most people believe it."
Merlin says:
"There will be controversy in any event, but as time goes on, no one will be able to continue these controversies, and in my experience, this matter will probably be forgotten in less than a month. After all, the whole world There are so many interesting things going on... People’s attention will always be attracted to new big events."
He shook his head and said:
"We, humans, are creatures good at forgetting."
"Okay, from my observation, you are indeed."
Icarus no longer continues this perceptual question. Her thinking logic circuit does not like these topics that are difficult to measure with data. When Merlin got on the smart car, she asked another thing.
"In the Onika Group, several shareholders, including the Wakanda official, have questioned the security issues of the Smart Industrial Park. This operation of the Ten Commandments revealed the previous management loopholes, such as Tony People with sensitive identities like Stark, who have high authority, have already threatened the security system of the industrial park."
"Mr. Rex Luther proposed to cancel all secondary permissions so as not to see things like this again in the future. Prince Techara did not agree with this view. He felt that all permissions should be attributed to SHIELD and World Security Council. It will also be risky."
After listening to Icarus's description, Merlin nodded and said:
"The fact that Tony was held hostage is really unexpected and tricky. I can't send agents to protect those who have permission 24 hours a day, so I prefer Luther's view. It is a good idea to cancel secondary permissions. ..."
"But what I care about more than these discussions is, Icarus, you said, how did Mandalin know that Tony has high authority to enter and leave the industrial park freely?"
"These messages are top secret, even the members of the World Security Council do not know."
Merlin held his chin and said softly:
"Although it can be attributed to the magic factor, I always think that this matter is worth pondering. How did the news leak out?"
"Maybe you should look at his memory before killing him."
Icarus said:
"Are you negligent? Or..."
"Mandarin uses magic, Icarus, and the Dementor is not a panacea. For a caster like him, it is very difficult to view the memory information, and his soul is protected by the Ten Commandments, and it is not useful at all. s things."
Merlin moved his finger, he said:
"In short, this incident reminded me that I need to be more vigilant within the Onika Group."
"Nick Fury's call, Merlin."
A communication request appeared on Icarus's lens, and Merlin immediately connected the communication. At the next moment, Frey's expressionless face, which could not be regarded as a beautiful face, appeared in front of Merlin's eyes.
"Is the communication with the German official effective?"
Merlin asked, and Fury replied poorly:
"Well, with that, they agreed to continue the operation of the Eichenwalde Industrial Park and will not impose restrictions on the industrial park."
"It sounds like a good thing."
Merlin stared at Fury's face, he said:
"But from your expression, there seems to be something bad?"
"Yes, they made an additional request."
Fury looked around and then sighed. He said with a bad expression:
"German officials demanded that a military force be sent to the Eichenwalde Industrial Park. In addition to the existing security system in the industrial park, a new defense system was re-established to ensure that such an invasion would not happen again. Repeat."
"And what’s worse, the Russian representatives made the same request. They demanded that the upcoming Vosskaya industrial zone also be stationed in the troops. Pierce had a quarrel with them. Those bureaucrats obviously took the opportunity to intervene. Management and ownership of intelligent hubs."
Merlin's expression changed a bit, he said:
"That is to say, they also regard the intelligent machinery center and industrial zone as part of the new arms competition?"
"Yes, we tried to make this matter not part of the national competition, but at present, they are not willing to give in. Perhaps there are many people who have the same ideas as war madmen like Mandalin, and they are hidden in various countries. In the government."
Fury said somberly:
"They caught our weakness, Merlin, they are threatening us... no doubt."
"Either agree to their request, or don’t want to build the Vosskaya industrial zone and the following industrial zones, and wait for the fourth impact of the fire source to come, and the problem of free intelligence in Siberia and other regions. It can’t be concealed. The plan that has been implemented for several years has aborted.
"Damn politician!"
Merlin and Fury almost cursed at the same time, but both were silent.
This problem is very difficult at present, and the things created by the Ten Commandments have given other countries a good reason to demand a garrison in the Smart Industrial Park.
More than ten seconds later, Merlin raised his head, his expression was subtle, and he said to Fury:
"I suddenly had an idea, Fury. Promise them."
"Ok?"
Fury looked at Merlin in surprise. He didn't speak. He was waiting for Merlin's explanation.
"The garrison can. After all, governments of all countries are also responsible for the people. We can understand that what happened in the Eichenwalde Industrial Park has exposed our mistakes in this respect. We are willing to bear the consequences of the mistakes."
Merlin said softly:
"But I don't think that the general military can take on this task. In the battlefield of intelligent mechanical robots that may be militarized, ordinary soldiers will not play much role except increasing the casualties. Countries hope For the garrison in the industrial park, there must be a special force that can respond to threats..."
"If they don't, they will have to find a way for themselves. It's really impossible. We can help them train."
A light flashed in the eyes of the Deputy Director of SHIELD, he said:
"They come out, we come up with plans, a variety of defense plans for them to choose, there must be something to satisfy them, since they want to station troops, then the funds to train these special forces also need them to come out."
"And it takes at least a few years for a special force to start from training, and it is enough for us to complete the construction of various industrial parks. As long as the remaining energy of the fire source is completely released, the intelligent weapon plan is considered to be If it succeeds, then it is their business how they deal with those intelligence centers."
Merlin says:
"After the world accepts the existence of smart machines, even if they want to tear down those industrial parks, it doesn’t matter to us. What we want is not an intelligent hub. What we want is a smooth transition of this matter. What we want is the world order. Not destroyed."
"Your idea..."
Frimo held his chin. After a while, he nodded to Merlin, he said:
"It's very constructive. I'm going to discuss with Pierce and I will contact you later."
"Om"
Fury's communication hangs up, and Icarus' voice sounds again:
"Don't you worry that in the future those politicians will use the intelligence centers of various countries as the bargaining chips for competition between countries? If those intelligence centers are truly militarized, then..."
"Will not."
Merlin said to Icarus:
"The control of the "builder" has always been in the hands of the World Security Council. If the control of the artificial intelligence matching the smart tower is lost, the smart tower is just an empty shell."
Merlin pushed the glasses, he said:
"Once the "builder" program is destroyed, it is not that simple for countries to reverse reset this program. After all, it was developed by the smartest group of people in the world. The ones contained in it are used flexibly. The Cybertronian knowledge is not so easy to crack."
"At the beginning of the Wisdom Project, we left a countermeasure. Although we were reluctant to use it, if this project became the biggest unrest factor for the world..."
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the sea in the distance. He said:
"Then I would rather destroy it myself."
