Cheating players in Marvel
EP1370. Misunderstanding
When talking about General Ross, Stark spoke very clearly. Looking at the determined expression on his face, it seemed that he had witnessed with his own eyes that General Ross was hiding in the dark and making small moves that were not suitable for exposure to outsiders.
In reality, things developed exactly as Stark expected.
Just a few days after Stark discussed this topic with Shi Xiaolei, Thaddeus Ross went to San Francisco without leaving a trace and met with a guy named Carlton Drake.
On one side, and within the next two days, I personally visited the company founded by Carlton Drake, as well as several scientific research facilities under the company's name.
No one knows what the two talked about after meeting, and no one knows what General Ross saw during his visit. In short, after ending this secret meeting, General Ross signed an agreement as a military representative.
An investment agreement allocated as much as US$700 million to Carlton Drake's company.
Well, people living in the Marvel world are unaware of the undercurrents surging, but for readers standing outside the fourth wall, the answer is actually not that difficult to guess.
Whether it's the name Carlton Drake or the address in San Francisco, they are all obvious clues. Just compare them with the movies you have seen in your mind, and you will quickly be able to identify the target and match the plot with the characters.
.
Yes, this Carlton Drake who has a relationship with Thaddeus Ross is the Indian businessman in "Venom". The company he founded is called Life Foundation, which is "Venom"
The company that captured the alien symbiote and conducted targeted research on it.
As for why the two of them interacted...
The story begins with the battle between Hela and the Valkyries on the planet Saka.
Yolanda suddenly appeared and stepped in, and the duel that was bound to determine life and death was interrupted midway. Because they couldn't figure out what the situation was for a while, the Valkyries temporarily terminated their plan and were in chaos.
Xiangzhong was taken away from the duel by Yolanda.
By the time they figured it out, the Valkyries had already missed the chance to take revenge on Hela again.
Not only that, because Yolanda roped in many slaves, including the dark elves, and interrupted the duel by triggering a riot, causing both Gao Tianzun and collector Di Fan to be implicated in the riot... After the situation calmed down
, including Yolanda, all the Valkyries were hated by the two elders.
Firstly, they wanted to find another opportunity to continue to take revenge on Hela. Secondly, because the two elders issued a wanted order, they could no longer continue their previous lives. So, the Valkyries packed their bags and left Sakaar.
The star field where he is located is heading towards the earth, which is also one of the nine realms.
To be precise, the final destination is Earth.
In the previous duel with no result, the Valkyries realized that their own strength was insufficient. Therefore, in order to increase their chances of winning, they decided to go to other places to see if they could find more powerful weapons, or other
Ways to improve combat effectiveness.
Herein lies the problem. If the Valkyries head straight to the Earth after setting off, they may not encounter interstellar hunters who come here to earn bounties after hearing the news. After all, the Earth has a low reputation in the universe and its location is very remote.
In this star field, there are very few opportunities to see greedy interstellar pirates, and bounty hunters who mainly target interstellar pirates naturally do not come here often.
The places where the Valkyries go in order to find weapons to improve their combat power are all popular places that are crowded with people.
Just because they haven't been exposed once doesn't mean they can always hide it from other people's eyes.
In fact, this is the case. When visiting the fifth location, the Valkyries were spotted by a sharp-eyed bounty hunter. Then, in order to catch the Valkyries headed by Horok, this guy secretly contacted many
The accomplices launched an ambush on the Valkyries on their way to the sixth location.
One side has a large number of people and has made sufficient preparations in advance, but the other side is unprepared and has only ten people.
Even though each of the Valkyries has extraordinary combat power, and their individual combat power far exceeds that of their opponents, they still suffered heavy losses in this battle - three Valkyries were injured, and one of them was more serious. As a vehicle
The spacecraft was also riddled with holes and was only one step away from being scrapped.
It wouldn't be described as a 'desperate situation', but for the Valkyries, the situation is indeed very bad.
As a last resort, they had to give up the idea of continuing to search for powerful weapons, and took a spaceship they snatched from the bounty hunter and headed straight for the earth.
That is to say, it is slightly better than their original one. After a big battle, this spaceship snatched from the bounty hunter also had some damage that could not be repaired quickly.
Just like a car with a slight problem with the steering wheel, this spacecraft is a bit difficult to control. Even the experienced Valkyries cannot control it like an arm.
As a result, when passing near Mars and about to reach the Earth, the spacecraft had a slight collision with a group of passing meteorite fragments.
The spacecraft that had not had time to repair became more difficult to control because of this collision. Even if the Valkyries tried their best, they could only barely adjust the direction of the fall and avoid the solid ground to let it fall.
in the sea.
As the spacecraft fell, another meteorite was also carried to the ground... Unlike the spacecraft that had the Valkyries helping to adjust its direction, this thing fell in a straight line and hit a barren mountain somewhere outside San Francisco.
middle.
One in front of the other, that is, the distance between the front and rear feet.
The smoke column pulled out by the spacecraft when it crashed was obviously much more eye-catching than a small meteorite. Therefore, after noticing this strange scene, whether it was a civilian who happened to pass by the nearby sea area or someone with an official background
All agencies invariably focused their attention on the sea area where the spacecraft crashed.
But the meteorite that fell on the outskirts of San Francisco received little attention.
Only the people from the Life Foundation focused their attention on the meteorite.
It's not that Carlton Drake is very clever. With the idea of "a bird in his hand", he went in the opposite direction and took the initiative to target meteorites. In fact, it was just a coincidence... Not long ago, the Life Foundation
I just bought a piece of land in the suburbs and planned to build a larger laboratory. The barren mountain where the meteorite fell is only more than 100 meters away from the construction site that has already started but less than 200 meters away.
As for the laboratory, it is a matter of course that there are scientific research experts on site to supervise the construction.
After the meteorite fell, these scientific research experts would inevitably come over to take a look at the situation.
As scientific research experts, it is impossible for them not to notice the symbionts attached to the meteorite - although they were tortured by the friction and heat generated during the fall, they fell into a state of half-death, and temporarily lost their parasitic ability. But
As a special life form, symbionts still show some active reactions that are different from dead things. For example, slight wriggling, tiny tentacles spreading out like sea anemones at the edges... For these scientific research experts, there are
These characteristics are enough for them to make a judgment.
In this way, the scientific research experts immediately called an action team wearing protective clothing and sealed containers, and transported the meteorite, together with several symbionts attached to it, back to the headquarters of the Life Foundation.
At this point, the symbiote fell into the hands of Carlton Drake.
And the reason why Thaddeus Ross came to the door...
The spacecraft that the Valkyries were riding on had already attracted the attention of various agencies, including the military, when it crashed.
Although this incident did not cause much commotion, that was because the place where the spacecraft crashed was dozens of nautical miles away from the coast. Except for a few civilians who happened to be passing by by boat, ordinary people could not get close immediately, and after the official entrance,
The area was sealed immediately and the leakage and spread of information were cut off.
In other words, ordinary people didn't pay much attention to it because they couldn't get follow-up information, and quickly forgot about it. But the official agency that went to the scene in the first place did so because it had already found the sinking person.
The wreckage of the spacecraft on the seabed has attracted great attention to this matter.
Whether it's SHIELD or the military, all official agencies involved hope to get more information and find out exactly what happened.
And based on the official style of operation, all the anomalies that occurred on that day... no, it should be said that including the day of the incident, and the days before and after, must be gathered together for a detailed screening.
Although the movement of the meteorite was small when it fell, it still made a sound like a cannon fire. Other organizations may not pay special attention to it, but for the military, a movement similar to the sound of a cannon cannot be easily missed.
Lose.
The chief officer responsible for investigating this incident happened to be General Thaddeus Ross.
Putting aside the mistakes he has made, simply comparing the number of times he has had contact with aliens, he has had the most contact with aliens among all the people in the military and has the most experience. Therefore, from the standpoint of the military, photograph him.
It is only natural that he should be responsible for investigating the 'ship crash' incident.
All in all, General Ross's contact with Carlton Drake was actually to collect information about the "alien spacecraft crash".
It's not that he got the inside information immediately, knowing that Carlton Drake had obtained several symbiotes, and then felt that those things could be used to promote the progress of the 'super soldier' project and achieve his long-standing ideal, so
Only then did he take the initiative to contact Carlton Drake.
