The mechanical craze in Marvel

"Are you sure you mean destroyed? That's no small matter."

These satellites, used to create a ring of defense for Earth, employ cutting-edge technology and are equipped with laser weapons and intelligent robots capable of self-repair.

There is absolutely no possibility of damage in the short term, and the word "destroyed" further indicates that the satellite has been attacked.

"Fake!"

Nolan cursed under his breath.

The occurrence of such events often signifies the onset of a crisis.

and many more!

Nolan's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Tell me what happened. Didn't the Earth Defense Ring system activate?"

Tony Stark explained:

"At 17:37 yesterday, the satellite detected an unidentified object approaching Earth. Earth's defense ring reacted immediately, but the object was extremely fast and seemed to have mastered some kind of warp drive."

It suddenly appeared near the satellite before the armed satellite could launch its attack, then destroyed it, thus losing its trace to us.

"So, the other side might have entered Earth, right?"

Nolan squinted.

He has no doubt about the performance of the Earth Defense Ring satellite.

Although those satellites were built by Stark Industries, he also participated in some of the research.

Without a doubt, that is the most advanced satellite technology that Earth can currently achieve.

"Yes."

Tony Stark nodded.

Although no news came from NASA, he had already set up his own channels.

The possibility of the other party entering Earth is very high.

However, so far, the other party has not taken any action.

However, the occurrence of this event could very well represent the emergence of a cosmic threat.

"So, you left a backdoor?"

Nolan suddenly smiled and looked at Tony Stark.

Tony Stark's lips twitched.

Isn't this obvious? He just doesn't believe that Nolan Locke didn't leave a backdoor. Although the activation of the Titan system requires the cooperation of multiple countries, he is quite certain that Nolan Locke can do something.

However, he couldn't say that.

To put it simply, leaving a backdoor is something that's not something to be proud of.

"So, this is what you're focusing on?"

Tony Stark was helpless.

Nolan smiled and then said:

"I did leave some small things in the Titan system, but I haven't received any feedback yet. I suppose whatever entered Earth hasn't caused any trouble yet."

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark frowned.

That was indeed the reason he sought out Nolan Locke.

Just as he could not control the Earth Defense Ring, the Titan System naturally could not be managed by Nolan Locke.

As private forces, they can only obtain the information they want through such underhanded means.

but……

Is there no movement?

The biggest problem right now is the lack of any movement.

"Since that's the case, I hope we can keep in touch so that we don't encounter danger and be unable to react in time."

"of course."

Nolan nodded; he already had a guess in his mind.

Based on Tony Stark's description, the thing that appeared on Earth was most likely the Silver Surfer, a subordinate of Galactus.

He took a deep breath.

If that's really the case, then it means that the planet devourer is not far off.

Of course, dealing with the Shadow Man beforehand, preventing him from notifying Galactus, would also be a good solution.

Although he wanted to see the power of the Planet Eater.

But this doesn't mean he's willing to gamble with the world. Even though this isn't his main universe, he already has inseparable ties to it.

As Nolan emerged from Stark Tower, he looked up at the sun overhead. His busy life was about to begin again.

Now that the Silver Shadow has arrived, he has to get moving.

He doesn't have much time.

The Silver Shadow wouldn't stay on Earth for a vacation. Even if the Silver Shadow in the original story was moved by Earth, in Nolan's view, neither the fact that the Silver Shadow is so easily moved nor that a puppet who borrows the power of Galactus can destroy Galactus by self-destructing seems very unreliable.

More than any of these, he believed in the power he possessed.

Back at Locke Technology, Susan saw Nolan being dragged towards his office as if he were being conscripted.

"Boss, if you continue to be a hands-off manager, I'm quitting."

Susan's face showed displeasure.

Seeing Susan's anger, Nolan unceremoniously put his arm around her waist.

"I'm sorry, but I really didn't slack off."

Nolan spoke with righteous indignation.

"You need to know that I manufacture over 90% of the company's products, and that takes time."

"is it?"

Susan glanced at him.

"But I remember that you always went home before dark during this period, and... even at the company, I couldn't find you in the lab."

Nolan paused for a moment upon hearing this.

"You should know that research isn't just about staying in the lab; sometimes you need to go out and find inspiration."

Sometimes, a sudden burst of inspiration is more important than spending time in the lab.

Hearing Nolan's words, Susan rolled her eyes.

She'd be a fool to believe such a thing.

"Compared to this..."

Nolan's expression turned slightly serious.

“We’re in big trouble. I just met with Tony Stark, and he told me that aliens may have appeared on Earth, and they’re aggressive. The moment they appeared, they destroyed an armed satellite.”

Hearing this, Susan, who still wanted to question him, put aside her thoughts.

Compared to those minor issues, an alien invasion is the biggest problem.

"What do we do next?"

Nolan shook his head and said:

"We don't need to do anything. We have no intelligence. We can only wait for the other side to show up first. But before that, I need to make some preparations."

After saying goodbye to Susan, Nolan went into the laboratory.

He has indeed spent very little time in the lab lately, after all, what he left behind in this world is enough for Locke Technology to develop for twenty years.

More than anything, he wanted to spend more time with Susan.

Even if he is fairly confident of returning to this universe, what if things don't go as planned?

He doesn't have that kind of stable technology yet, at least not now.

If he is unable to return in the future, this period will be their last chance to meet.

He simply didn't know how to bring these words up to Susan.

Once inside the lab, Nolan retrieved something the size of a button.

This is the stabilizer he made.

The unstable energy carried by the Silver Shadow can make the cells of anyone who comes into contact with him also become unstable.

Therefore, a stabilizer is essential before making contact with the Shadow Man.

Then, it was time to find the Silver Shadow.

Nolan took out the search engine he had prepared beforehand and began to slowly debug it.

While Nolan was searching for the Silver Surfer.

On a snowy mountain, Johnny the Human Torch leaps down the slope on his skateboard.

He enjoys extreme sports.

Such exercise can provide him with mental stimulation.

Unfortunately, because he had already learned to fly, his experience of extreme skiing was significantly diminished. But even so, he still comes to ski frequently.

"Wow, as expected of Thunderbolt!"

"That was an incredible maneuver!"

As a superhero, he is cheered by countless people.

Johnny's eyes lit up as he looked at the slope ahead. He then took a deep breath and skateboarded straight toward the slope.

"Hooah!"
