After Logan's visit, Merlin's life returned to its daily mode.
The addition of a child in the family did not affect the rhythm of Merlin’s life. Although Laura’s situation was special, Teacher Xuan Lan said that she had no problem in taking care of another child, and May also liked Laura as much as she liked Same as the other children in their own family.
With the help of Xuan Lan and Mei, Merlin doesn't need to worry too much about Laura's new life, and other things are progressing in an orderly manner.
After the World Security Council passed the "Illegal Test Prohibition Treaty", SHIELD has an additional responsibility. They need to start processing test applications from all over the world, especially those large-scale tests that have dangerous consequences. After the review of the World Security Council, this is the work of Fury’s agents working in the general public.
And looking for illegal experiments that are still going on, and intervening, this is Merlin's side, always doing the work of some secret agents.
This made the agents under Merlin busy again, and Tianyanhui, who completed data sharing with S.D.O.L.D., also seemed to be interested in these tasks, so Merlin handed over some of the work to them.
The two departments have started limited cooperation, which is a good thing for both parties. At least at the current stage, when there is no direct conflict of interest, it is a good thing.
"Director Merlin, Dr. Reed and his fiancee visit."
On a certain day in September 2005, when the hottest season of the year subsided, I just completed a patrol of several dangerous substance containment bases and returned to the office of Merlin when I heard the request of Assistant Sharon.
Merlin pressed the communicator on the table, he said:
"Please come in."
Moments later, Sharon took Dr. Richards, the smartest man in the world, and his beautiful fiancee, Dr. Susan Stone, into Merlin’s office.
"I haven't seen you in a few months. Dr. Reed looks in a good mood."
Merlin put his hands on the table and joked:
"Like a radiant face, Ms. Susan is still as beautiful as before. It seems that the two of you have had a good time...but I guess, you also brought something that makes me feel happy, right? ?"
"You talk so directly, Merlin."
Dr. Reed sat on the sofa. He pointed to the suitcase in his hand and said to Merlin:
"But it is true, we have completed the design of the intelligent machine center and the internal operation of the "enlightenment" program required by the intelligent machine project."
He said to Merlin:
"This is also thanks to the newly joined Dr. Banner, whose research and novel ideas in the field of artificial intelligence have greatly improved our progress."
"Really? So fast?"
There was a hint of surprise in Merlin’s eyes. Until now, the Wisdom Machinery Project has been completed. The Wisdom Machinery Industrial Zone on the Nigerian prairie has been completed. The hardware facilities have been put in place, and even the external propaganda has been prepared. It is also the biggest problem that hinders the plan from continuing.
Merlin thought it would be years before this complex design could be completed, but now it seems that he underestimated the creativity of scientists.
He took the suitcase that Reed handed over and opened it. It contained a thick set of drawings and a chip in a small box, probably due to the use of Cybertron Technology, the chip shines blue The light looks very much like the future of science fiction.
Merlin unfolds the design drawings, he can't understand the designs, but Icarus can.
Along with the physical scan, soon, a simulation of a large manufacturing center appeared on Merlin's lens. Icarus needed to test the model theoretically, which took a little time, so Merlin temporarily turned his attention from the drawings. Moving away, he looked at Reed and Susan in front of him. He said:
"The design is completed, which means that the work of the two has come to an end. I am curious, what are you two going to do next?"
Merlin says:
"Are you ready to get married? Don't forget to send me an invitation."
"No no no."
Dr. Susan dialed her hair, and she said to Merlin decently:
"Reed and I have no plans to get married for the time being. We are quite young, so we plan to spend our time in their respective research areas. Some research that was previously disturbed by the unexpected wisdom machine plan can now continue."
"Ok."
Reed held the fiancee's hand, he said to Merlin:
"Next, Susan and I, as well as the others in the lab, are going to go to outer space."
"???
Merlin's eyes widened and he asked:
"Outer space?"
"Yes, an integrated research project with many sub-projects."
Reed pointed to the sky, and he said to Merlin optimistically:
"And we have found people who are willing to invest in these projects. If everything goes well, our spacecraft will be launched in a few months. We will stay in outer space for about 2-3 years, so you may be very I won’t see you again for a long time, Mr. Merlin."
"I don't doubt that you can design a spaceship to stay in outer space. After all, the things in your smart people's minds are amazing."
Merlin replied:
"But 2-3 years, is this too long?"
"This is an optimistic estimate, Merlin."
Reed's temper is good, he patiently explained to Merlin:
"Our own projects, as well as the projects that investors need us to carry out, may add up to more than 200 large and small. Some of them still need to go into deep space to be carried out. Investors of the "Life Foundation" also want us to Launch their designed exploration ship in space to explore comets outside the solar system."
The beautiful female doctor Susan then said:
"According to their original design drawings, the plan took at least 5 years, and Reed transformed the ship with the help of Cybertron Technology to allow it to travel briefly beyond the speed of light, but even so, that research The exploration ship of the project also needs at least 2 years to return."
"If you need funds, in fact SHIELD can help."
Merlin moved his fingers, and he said to Dr. Reed and his fiancee:
"The Wisdom Project will soon enter a new stage. To be honest, I don’t feel relieved to let you stay in space for so long...you can give up the investment of the Life Foundation, if this can make you come back earlier, then I am willing to help you get enough money."
"No, it's not just an issue for investors, Merlin."
Reed declined:
"I am also very interested in that project, and I am also looking forward to discovering new knowledge in the stars, which makes people feel curious. I have too many ideas to be practiced, many of which cannot be placed in our The world is going on. As for the scientific problems that may be encountered in the Intelligent Machine Project, I believe that whether it is Tony, Luther, or Dr. Banner, we can help you solve it for us."
"Oh I see."
Merlin pushed his glasses, and he heard an out-of-string sound from Dr. Reed's words. He said:
"It seems that you have lost interest in the Zhijian Project, are you not going to participate in it anymore?"
Reed and his fiancee glanced at each other, and after a few seconds, the wise man calmly said to Merlin:
"It is true. Now that the science and technology project of the Smart Machine Project is over, the next thing to be promoted is more like sociology and politics. That is something I am not interested in. Perhaps it would make you feel welcome. But for me, my time is precious, and I don’t plan to waste it on these things."
Reed looked at Merlin, he said seriously:
"I believe that you can do the next thing."
"Ok."
Merlin looked at the determination in Reed's eyes. He knew that no matter how he recovered it, the wise man had already decided.
He nodded and said to Dr. Reed and Susan:
"I will approve you to leave the project, our cooperation is very happy, but I still have to remind you about the content of the smart machine project..."
"We know the rules."
Reed smiled at Merlin:
"If you are not at ease, you can use "magic" to clear our memories. I know you have this ability. I have taken the time to study it, but unfortunately, the nature of the energy is something I have never seen before. Maybe I It takes more time and enough samples to study the mysteries of magic."
"It's not necessary to clean memory."
Merlin waved his hand, and he said frankly:
"For your extraordinary wisdom, memory clearing is just a farce that can be restored at any time. Maybe you have already made some special devices before you come. You only need to shine a light to restore memory... I know how terrible your wisdom is, but I also believe that you have enough reason to persuade you to keep this project secret."
Merlin says:
"I think I can trust you."
Reed nodded, and he looked relieved. His fiancee Dr. Susan reached out and took Reed's finger, and she said to Merlin:
"There are still a few months before we go to outer space. Director Merlin, this should be enough for the prototype of this design to be produced. If there are any problems, we will be happy to help you solve it, which is regarded as after-sales service."
"It looks perfect."
Merlin looked at the ongoing data simulation on the lens, he said:
"But it's true that you can't tell if there is a problem after the prototype is completed... Speaking of which, I have recently heard of some other things that have nothing to do with you, but maybe you can help me."
Merlin found a document from the European branch in his drawer. Looking at the contents of the document, he said to Reed and Susan:
"You two, do you know a person named Victor von Dumm? According to the information we found, he and Reed are classmates at State University of New York, and they seem to be Reed's rivals..."
Merlin glanced at Susan, whose face changed slightly, and he said:
"He seems to love you very much, Ms. Susan."
"I know Dum, but that was a long time ago."
Reed did not escape this embarrassing question. He shook his head. He said:
"Dum is not a person who can make people feel comfortable. He does things extremely. I guess he can appear in the file of the Deputy Director of SHIELD, probably because he has made something that can be called 'Crazy' thing, right?"
"It depends on how you look."
Looking at the incident recorded in the file, Merlin said:
"H.E.Dum appeared in the small Eastern European country Latvinia two years ago, where is his hometown, a small backward country surrounded by Hungary and Serbia, with little sense of presence, and still maintains the feudal system. When he returned to his hometown A week later, a coup took place in Latvinia, the former king was killed, the cabinet was cruelly cleansed, and the whole country fell into chaos for half a month."
"But soon, a shadow government was established, they elected a new prime minister, reorganized the government structure, and soon ended the war, but closed the border to the outside and expelled all diplomats...Guess a guess , Who is behind this coup?"
Merlin put down the file, he looked at Dr. Reed, he said:
"And according to some of my friends in the magic world, Latvinia was one of the important gathering places for wizards in Eastern Europe, and the Lord Dumm, who also seemed to be a powerful caster, was there During the coup, our agents detected the remnants of a wide range of mind spells."
"What I want to ask is, Reed, was he a wizard in the years you met Dum?"
"This one..."
Reed hesitantly said to Merlin:
"I don’t know, because I hadn’t been exposed to magic at that time, but now I want to come. When we were students, some strange things did happen occasionally around Dumm, and when we were not enemies, I I heard Dum said that he left his hometown and came to New York just to learn the power of technology and then save the soul of his mother..."
"He said his mother's soul fell into the hands of a big devil."
Reed shook his head:
"I was just because it was a bad joke, and now think about it, that might be true. But I misunderstood him... My reckless behavior made Dumm pay a miserable price."
"Maybe, I should have been more sensible at the time, instead of being so young."
The smartest man in the world looked up at Merlin, he said:
"Dum and I are not friends, but we used to be competitors. After regrettable things happened, we became enemies, and Dum was nowhere to be found. The things you just said were me , The first to hear about Dum."
"Then talk about it."
Merlin took a look at the data simulation conclusions that took a while to draw on the glasses. He made a "please" gesture to Dr. Reed and Susan. He said:
"Tell me about Victor von Dumm you know. We know too little about him. Any intelligence is very important."
"And I myself am also very interested in the wizarding king of Latvinia."
