When Chen Xiao was stunned, Lao Tian looked at Edward with a sullen face: "You mean, maybe the people who came here to arrest Lin San and the others are people from the service agency, or maybe they are people from clubs or other organizations. , but they work for the 'third organization'?"
Edward squinted his eyes, but looked at Phoenix.
Following Edward's gaze, everyone turned their attention to Phoenix.
"Don't look at me." Phoenix shook his head: "I don't know."
She took a deep breath: "This organization exists in the form of a shadow organization. The identities of most members are secret, and because the internal factions have different opinions, in fact, it has always been in a very loose state internally. Although conflicts do not break out openly, they tend to go their own way. Even within this organization, it is difficult for you to know what others are doing."
"Including senior members like you?" Zhu Rong looked a little distrustful.
"Yes, including me." Phoenix said calmly: "Unless there are major decisions made uniformly in some organizations, I will know about it as a senior member. But if it is the action of a certain faction, I will not even notify others. People—I said, this is a very loose organization, similar to... similar to... "
"Like a religion?"
To everyone's surprise, it was Chen Xiao who spoke!
"Similar to a religion." Chen Xiao raised his head, his eyes thoughtful: "Loose, but firmly believe in a certain belief, but there are differences in the belief. People are all over the world. On weekdays, there are always They don't gather together, there is only a nominal organizational form, but there is no specific power structure... Doesn't this all look like a religion? Phoenix, your identity in it is probably like... a senior person in a religion. Clergy. But just like a certain religion, it is difficult for even senior clergy to order ordinary believers."
"Yes, this metaphor is very vivid." Phoenix hesitated slightly: "However, I would like to add one more thing... Compared to the old supernatural organizations such as service societies and clubs, this organization also has a very special place .”
"What?" everyone asked together.
"Our organization has absorbed a large number of 'non-superhuman beings'!"
Others were a little disapproving, and Gonggong said: "This is not special, is it? There are also many non-superhuman beings joining the service club."
"But in other supernatural organizations, even if they absorb some ordinary humans without supernatural powers, most of them serve as grassroots personnel, such as some liaison personnel, or peripheral service positions, etc..." Phoenix said lightly: "Don't tell me about the Service Society. The Service Society is indeed the first organization to absorb ordinary humans into this circle, but they are too limited."
"But... what about Shi Gaofei? Isn't he a living example?" Chen Xiao was puzzled.
"Shi Gaofei is not an ordinary human being." Phoenix smiled gently at Chen Xiao: "Dear, your definition of a group of superpowers is a bit too narrow. It doesn't necessarily have to be able to fly, breathe fire, become invisible, or have infinite strength. , can be regarded as a person with superpowers. The accurate definition of the so-called superpowers should be a special group of human beings with abilities beyond the limits of ordinary humans. For example, Mr. Shi Gaofei, what is special about him is not that he can fly, or that he How strong is his combat effectiveness... What's special about him is his IQ. His IQ is more than 300% higher than that of ordinary humans, and his ability to think in various pictographic modes is far beyond that of ordinary human groups. Simple It is said that his brain development level is far superior to ordinary people in a certain field. He is a 'genius', a super genius! He can also be regarded as a person with super powers."
"According to this, Einstein can be considered a superpower?" Chen Xiao smiled bitterly.
"Of course it counts!" Phoenix said in a very serious tone: "Newton, Nobel also count, and Madame Curie... even Shakespeare, Beethoven... all of these people, in a certain special field, have abilities that are beyond the ordinary human group. With many abilities, such people are geniuses! Strictly speaking, such geniuses can be regarded as superpowers!
Looking at the history of mankind, it is these countless 'giants' who have emerged one by one, opening up breakthroughs in one field after another, and promoting progress, evolution, and development... "
"So, the ordinary humans in the third organization you mentioned..." Lao Tian frowned.
"There are many ordinary humans in the third organization, and the proportion is far higher than you can imagine. As Chen Xiao said, this is no longer just a 'superpower organization', but has evolved into some kind of religion! And The teaching of this religion is: the unification of humans and superpowers!"
When Phoenix said this, his heart suddenly sank, and he felt a bit of horror!
It seems that I have never thought of these things carefully before! She was suddenly broken by Chen Xiao just now, and she seemed to suddenly remember some factors that she had ignored before.
religion!
Isn't this just like a new religion? !
At this point, Fenghuang suddenly froze, her face changed, and she couldn't help but whisper to herself: "Oh my God! This is a religion! This has really become a religion! Is this a good thing or not? Bad...gosh, it's become a religion..."
Chen Xiao looked at Fenghuang's ugly face, stepped forward and hugged Fenghuang tightly, patted her back hard to comfort her, and turned to look at Edward: "Mr. Ai, what you said... is it a third organization? Captured Mr. Lin San and the others? But... why? Mr. Lin San and the others don't seem to have much to do with all of this!"
"Haha, wait a minute." Edward shook his head: "I just said that the content of my commission has something to do with Lin San and the others, but I didn't say that it was people from this organization who captured Lin San."
"Then what do you mean?" Chen Xiao's tone gradually became rude.
Edward looked at Chen Xiao with a smile and said nothing.
Chen Xiao sighed, and after exchanging glances with Lao Tian and others, he finally puffed up his chest: "Okay, what do you want from us?"
"It's simple, a commission."
…
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, take your seats, we are almost there!"
Edward, who was sitting in the front driver's seat, took off his sunglasses, turned around and shouted to the people sitting in the back cabin. Amidst the noise, the old man shouted at the top of his lungs.
This is an airplane... to be precise, it should be an aircraft. At least Chen Xiao has never flown on such a strange "plane"!
This is a three-wing, diamond-shaped aircraft, about the same size as an Air Force medium bomber.
About four hours ago, under Edward's arrangement, everyone arrived on a cruise ship on the waters off the eastern coast of China. Then, such a strange aircraft fell from the sky!
In Chen Xiao's opinion, this aircraft seems to have a certain "sci-fi" color! It can rise and fall vertically. The silver appearance is obviously not just for "coolness", but also has the function of being invisible.
Note that this is not the kind of invisibility that only exists on radar. In fact, this aircraft can really be invisible! When it fell from the sky and landed on the sea in front of everyone, it took a full minute for its outline to appear! And when it activates a certain function, it completely hides its outline as if by magic!
Seventh-generation stealth spray paint—this was a term that Shi Gaofei casually mentioned when he saw this aircraft.
The shape of this aircraft is quite similar to an aircraft in an episode of the Star Wars movie that Chen Xiao has watched. What surprised Chen Xiao and others is that the power system of this aircraft... Obviously , it does not fly on a gasoline engine! !
"This is a principle of magnetic levitation." When sitting on the plane, Shi Gaofei's tone was very dull, no, not dull. In Chen Xiao's view, this scientific madman even looked at him with a "critical" look. Looking at this aircraft, he seems to be a little dissatisfied: "Magnetic levitation... Well, let me explain it this way, this thing does not fly by the back thrust of a traditional engine aircraft, but... well, it uses the earth's magnetic field. Uh, Do you understand? We compare the earth's magnetic field to a large ski resort. We use special instruments to create a substance that is separated from the earth's magnetic field, and then let this thing 'slide' on the magnetic field. Of course, the speed of sliding is very high. quick. "
"How fast?" On the plane, Zhang Xiaotao, Baicai and others were more like ordinary people and seemed extremely curious about everything that appeared.
"How much? A conservative estimate is that it is about three times more than an ordinary aircraft. It is a supersonic thing anyway." When Shi Gaofei said this, he lowered his voice: "It is a small project that I participated in the research and development four years ago. "
At this point, everyone on the plane, except Lao Tian and others, looked at Shi Gaofei with a look of terror and respect.
But Edward, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and said coldly at an inappropriate time: "You also forgot to say... This is a waste of money project that you participated in the research, a real garbage product."
Junk product
Several young people, except Phoenix, all had their eyes widened!
This kind of aircraft that only appears in Hollywood science fiction movies is actually called garbage? !
Shi Gaofei seemed to have a somewhat embarrassed expression, but finally told the truth: "Well... to a certain extent, it is indeed garbage. This was a project that was jointly researched with NASA back then, hoping to develop a fast and applicable A new type of aircraft for the future space age. Unfortunately... although this thing flies very fast, it doesn't have much value."
"Why?" Several young people asked in unison.
"Because of its power limitations." The answer was actually Phoenix. Obviously Phoenix was also an insider. She glanced at Shi Gaofei with a smile: "This kind of aircraft uses the repulsion of the earth's magnetic field to glide. That is to say, once it leaves The earth's magnetic field is useless - it can only be used on the earth! But it cannot be applied to the future era of the universe." Phoenix turned back and blinked at Shi Gaofei, who was sitting behind him: "I heard something, Mr. Shi Gaofei, you used this project to defraud NASA of more than 100 billion US dollars in research and development expenses."
Shi Gaofei was a little annoyed as if someone had exposed his background: "Hey, at least this thing flies really fast, and its invisibility function is also very complete."
"Yes." Edward said coldly: "Basically speaking, it is an upgraded version of a stealth aircraft. Of course, it is much faster... Unfortunately, the cost is more than the most advanced stealth fighter. It’s more than forty times more expensive! NASA spent a year’s research and development funding on this, and also stopped several other promising projects. In the end, it developed something that had little practical value in the end. The most important thing is , even if it is used on earth, this super expensive aircraft is difficult to apply in the military field."
"Why?" Chen Xiao didn't understand: "It's very fast, and it can be perfectly invisible..."
"It's very simple... because it can't attach any external weapons." Shi Gaofei simply explained it himself: "It can't be used as a fighter... The cannon or missiles attached to the fighter cannot be used. Because neither the cannon's launch nor the missiles can be used The launch will generate high temperatures during the launch process. The high temperature will affect the repulsion of the earth's magnetic field... Without the repulsion of the earth's magnetic field, then... "
Chen Xiao understood.
"Yes, we should thank Mr. Shi Gaofei." Edward smiled bitterly: "We spent hundreds of billions of dollars to develop a super-fast aircraft, but it can only be used as a transport aircraft, and it is also a small transport aircraft."
After a pause, he glanced at the instruments in the front row, and then shouted loudly: "Okay, we are here! Coordinates... 40.749915 West Longitude, 73.967428 North Latitude... Coordinate positioning... Everyone fastened their seat belts and stopped quickly during the descent. It will make people feel a little weightless and uncomfortable... Hey, everyone, we are now above New York City in the United States. Get ready, let's descend!"
As Edward's words fell, the entire aircraft shook slightly. Everyone felt a strange gravity. Everyone felt their bodies suddenly bumping upwards. If it weren't for the seat belts, they would have hit each other directly. ceiling.
It was like an elevator descending rapidly. The feeling of weightlessness was many times stronger. People with slightly weaker physiques, such as Shi Gaofei, looked pale and almost vomited.
Two minutes later, all the shaking stopped, and everyone looked out the window...
USA! New York! East Manhattan! On the Hudson River!
The aircraft seemed to be floating on the top of a certain building. There were other tall buildings on both sides of it. Through the window, Chen Xiao could even see other tall buildings in the distance. Clerks from certain institutions or companies were working in the windows. Looking down, the streets of Manhattan are as bustling as those in a movie!
More importantly, this aircraft still remains invisible!
This is indeed perfect invisibility! ! When it comes to the collar of the United States, there is no American air defense system without any awareness! An aircraft just quietly "invaded" the largest and most prosperous city in the world without alerting anyone! !
To be precise, he invaded the largest institution on earth! !
West longitude 40.749915, north latitude 73.967428, along the Hudson River in Manhattan, New York, USA…
Home of the United Nations Headquarters! !
"Will no one notice our arrival?" Chen Xiao was worried.
"Unless you leave the aircraft now." Shi Gaofei was somewhat proud: "After all, it is a product developed with more than 100 billion US dollars, and I, Shi Gaofei, personally participated in the development process... Its stealth function is perfect! Any country's military radar, detection satellite, etc. Wait, you can’t detect its existence... Of course it can’t be seen with the naked eye!”
"A super expensive toy." Edward made the final comment and pointed out the window on the left: "Look clearly, gentlemen and ladies, this is the goal of our commission... The United Nations Headquarters! Conference Building!! In three days, a regular meeting will be held here, and at this meeting, a bill that will affect the whole world will be voted on here!!"
Chen Xiao squinted his eyes and looked at the building not far away and the row of flagpoles below with the national flags of various countries...
He seemed to be in a trance, and then sighed: "The content of your commission is to ask us to... prevent this bill from being passed?"
Snapped!
Edward threw a stack of documents into Chen Xiao's arms, and then threw one each towards Lao Tian and others.
"This is a copy of the file."
Chen Xiao opened it and looked at it.
This document is available in Chinese, English, French and many other languages.
The content made everyone look a little weird.
"Proposal on the Global Universalization of the Law on Privileges of Special Human Groups"
"To put it simply, once this bill is passed, the supernatural groups around the world will officially come to the stage from behind the scenes. At the same time, with the passage of this bill, supernatural beings will also be officially 'divided' 'Out of the category of human beings! You see, the words used in this document are 'special human groups'. That is to say, the passage of this bill will make all people with special abilities no longer considered human beings! Special human groups! More importantly, this bill specifies some privileges! For example, once recognized as a special human group, they will enjoy some privileges that go beyond the ordinary categories of this society, such as priority in education and priority in the possession of resources. , and even... there is a considerable amount of legal immunity!"
Zhu Rong whistled: "That sounds good! From now on, all people with superpowers can enjoy privileges, including us."
Edward's face was filled with deep mockery: "No, on the contrary, this will be a disaster!"
