When Ben left the underground experiment base, it was already the next morning. It is said to be morning, but in the belly of the mountain there is no way to tell. But when an ordinary old-fashioned car drove out of the garage next to a house in the outskirts of the city, there was a pale golden sun shining on the face, leaving the car with a long shadow on the ground.
Naturally, there is no sun in the mountainside. Even in the wilderness, the sky shrouded in radiation clouds for many years would never see the slightest bit of sunshine. The sky and sun above Asgard now originate from a holographic projection panel that covers the entire mountainside. They are spliced together without gaps, controlled by the central intellectual brain, and will simulate the four seasons of the year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, day and night.
Undoubtedly, this is a very wasteful facility in the new age world. Thousands of holographic projection boards and the energy consumed by working around the clock are wasteful resources, and it would be impossible to see such a scene in Eternal Night City ruled by the Dark Council. Eternal Night City has seven nuclear power plants, which also work around the clock, but the electricity produced is used to supply Eternal Night City's military development and biochemical research needs.
However, when watching a round of scorching sun simulated by the holographic panel slowly rising from the horizon in the distance, Ben once again said to himself in his heart: What I did was right!
With huge energy and a lot of materials, Asgard has created a magnificent dream for the people living in it. It is impossible to restore an old era, but it can make some people live in beautiful dreams and make them temporarily forget the cruelty of the wilderness. Although for this approach, I could imagine that my old friend Oglock would definitely dismiss it. As for Ben himself, he also knows that in this era, such an approach is extremely wasteful.
But all of life is not just for survival. Sometimes, people also need to have dreams. Asgard is the dream of everyone living in this city. In order to protect this city that is no different from heaven in the new era, they will exert a cohesive force beyond the imagination of the Dark Council.
So all along, Ben didn't feel that he had done anything wrong!
The car drove out the disguised exit of the underground base. There are at least a thousand such exits on the edge of the city. Through the control of the central brain, the exit can be moved within a certain distance under the movement of the hydraulic machine to achieve the purpose of concealment. This time it could be a garage, the next time the exit might be in a factory dormitory building. Changes are randomly assigned by the brain, and there are tens of thousands of combinations, which are different every day. It is not easy to see through this cover-up.
Along the edge of the outskirts of the city, the car was traveling at a speed of forty kilometers per hour. The speed is not fast, enough for Ben to watch the scenery outside the car leisurely. The driver of the car has followed Ben for many years, so he naturally knows his preferences and habits.
Through the car window, Ben sees slaves and laborers at work. Their work in Asgard is no easier than in other cities in the wilderness, but here, even the lowest slaves have room for promotion. As long as you work hard, you will gain. This is the starting point when I formulated the prototype of the Asgard system. Asgard is not just a dreamy city, it is a city where people can see hope.
After bypassing most of the suburbs, drive along the main road to the city center. At seven o'clock in the morning, pedestrians appeared on the street one after another. From less to more pedestrians, as more and more people flooded the streets, the whole city seemed to wake up from a deep sleep and began to come alive.
It was seven thirty when Ben returned to his office on the top floor of the Hall of the Twelve. This is the time when Ben starts to work, and it is like this every day, and the time error of arriving at the office is within 5 seconds. Over the years, this precise habit becomes something terrible.
At 8:03, Ben received a message. That was the information that the Ministry of Finance paid 4 million loans. When he saw this information, Ben gave a knowing smile: "What a hardworking boy, he was discharged from the hospital so early."
The four million loan was originally intended to be issued to Zero, and the money was allocated by Ben from his own private funds, not from Asgard's financial budget. For this reason, Zero hardly needs to pay extra interest, which is also a little bit of Ben's kindness.
At this time, the phone next to the table rang. After Ben connected, the secretary Julie rang through the phone with a magnetic voice: "Sir, your son, Mr. Till, has requested to meet with you."
"Let him in." Ben said without thinking.
Tyr, the god of war, along with Valkyrie and the other brothers are orphans with great potential that Ben found in the wilderness. They are not related by blood, but hard times have brought them closer together. Ben didn't know what their original names were, and some of them didn't even have names. But it doesn't matter, after coming to Asgard, Ben named them after the gods, and hoped that they would support the sky of Asgard like the legendary gods.
It has to be said that none of the five children disappointed him. Among them, Tyre and Loki are the favorites of Ben.
Tyre has a calm and brave personality, and is a natural general. He is the head of the five siblings in terms of ability and strategy; while Loki is smart and flexible, and his quick wit in dealing with things is still higher than Tyre. But from Ben's point of view, no matter from which aspect, Tire is more qualified for the role of successor, so Ben's love for Tire is naturally more.
A moment later, the elevator leading directly to Ben's office opened, and a tall man strode out of the elevator.
God of War Tire is nearly two meters tall, even half a head taller than Badr. His whole body is like cast iron, and the deep facial contours are as if carved out of a hard iron block with a sharp knife, with completely tough lines. Till's shoulders are wider than ordinary people, his chest muscles are raised, and his waist is slightly narrowed, followed by his slender and powerful legs.
This is a male body with a golden ratio, which is perfect from any angle.
Tyre, with short silver hair, was dressed in a dark blue tight tactical uniform with golden armor templates covering the shoulders, chest, waist and knees. And on the chest template on the right, there is a pattern of two axes crossing each other, which is the symbol of the "Golden Battle Ax" of the legion led by Tyre!
"Tyl, my child, why are you back?" Ben stood up, greeted him with a smile on his face, and hugged Tyre firmly.
The five armies of Asgard did not stay in the city all year round. Among them, the golden battle ax led by Tire went to the frozen plateau in the west, paving the way for the establishment of the second kingdom of the gods in the Hall of Valor in the future. These include exploring the geographical environment, eliminating hostile aliens, and establishing effective material supply lines.
This job is not easy. The tundra plateau that develops westward from the Julian Mountains has a harsh environment and harsh climate. But these are not the main difficulties. The real headaches are those alien intelligent life forms that have completed the first generation of fundamental evolution. The so-called radical evolution refers to the emergence of wisdom. Perhaps most of the alien creatures in the wilderness have a certain degree of intelligence, but intelligence is not equal to wisdom. The reason why human beings are the master of all things is because this group of life has the wisdom to change the world.
But now, it's not just humans who possess intelligence. When the first alien life with wisdom appeared, the uncrowned king of mankind had quietly stepped down from the stage of history. Of course, ordinary people don't know that the world pattern has quietly changed. And only the Hall of Valor, or the Council of Darkness will know the news, and start to prepare how to coexist with these alien creatures, or how to destroy them!
On the issue of dealing with intelligent life of alien races, the Dark Council is a little rougher. They went deep into the southwestern army, and when they encountered weak alien races, they would kill them with absolute force. The Hall of Valor is relatively gentle, and they will provide limited help to some alien races who are willing to accept good intentions, such as living supplies and medical support. In exchange for some feedback from friendly alien races, including the life of being willing to serve as a tour guide for Asgard's expeditionary force.
Even, some alien races will join this expeditionary force to become the auxiliary force of the Golden Tomahawk. For this reason, Tire also specially set up a special team in the legion. This team is composed of alien life, and human commanders give them some common sense in war.
However, there are many alien races on the permafrost plateau, and not many are willing to be neighbors with humans. Most alien races regard humans as sworn enemies, and when they become enemies, they become terrifying existences. They are stoic, smart and unscrupulous. Even Tyre, a great military strategist, has a headache when facing these hostile alien races.
So Ben was slightly surprised to see Tyr in Asgard. Originally, it was impossible for Tyre to come back at this time.
Letting go of Ben, Till smiled with his snow-white teeth: "The war is coming to an end, and it is difficult to continue in a short time. In addition, I heard that Valkyrie and Mr. Cario were injured, so I will advance Come back, father, you won't blame me, will you?"
Ben laughed and said: "You care about your relatives and teachers, how can I blame you."
"By the way, what's the situation on the front line?" Ben asked after a pause.
Tyre's face was serious, and he said seriously: "Not too optimistic, we have advanced three thousand kilometers to the west. The alien races we encountered are becoming more and more stubborn. They are not willing to accept our kindness at all, and there is no possibility of coexistence. And this The alien ethnic group is getting bigger and bigger, and I even suspect that a kingdom of multi-ethnic cohabitation has been formed in the depths of the west!"
"An alien kingdom?" Ben also restrained his smile, he knew Tyre's character very well. Unlike Loki who exaggerates everything, Tire is not only pragmatic, but he can solve things by himself and never trouble others.
Listening to what he said now, then this alien kingdom has a high probability of existence. Moreover, Tire's return this time is not simply to care about his brothers, sisters and teachers. The bigger reason should be to come back to seek support.
