Chapter 87 - Chapter 87: Gamma Ray Surge

Osborn's single-soldier equipment Version 0 is mainly aimed at unenhanced ordinary people.

It is equipped with:

Single-soldier enhanced combat armor, which increases strength and improves defensive capabilities.

During combat, it automatically monitors physical condition and injects drugs to enhance physical fitness, maintain stamina, and assist in bodily stability.

It can ensure that soldiers remain in a stimulated state during combat, though side effects will appear after 48 hours of fighting in this state.

The boots help soldiers stand stably on the Flyer and can link with the thrusters on their backs, giving soldiers the ability to slide on walls or accelerate in the air, allowing them to maintain high flexibility even if they lose the Flyer.

The helmet possesses various scanning and communication functions.

The low-spec goblin glider has a maximum manned flight speed of 200m/s, though it is difficult for ordinary people to reach this speed in combat; sixty or seventy meters per second is decent, as it is difficult for a normal person to engage in intense combat on the Flyer.

The Flyer is equipped with detectors and can be used as a drone.

In drone mode, it can reach a top speed of Mach 2 and is equipped with 8 arc reactor grenades, two 62mm automatic machine guns, 12 micro-missiles, and blades wrapped in plasma that can extend from both ends.

It is worth mentioning that the explosives for the missiles are kindly provided by Norman Osborn, and they are very powerful.

To reduce costs, the energy source used is a palladium element reactor, which is basically sufficient.

Looking at the 40 soldiers wearing this gear in front of him, Harry felt filled with gratification.

Each set of equipment costs 50 million USD, which can be said to be economical and affordable.

Once this equipment and training mode are streamlined, it is not impossible for the cost to drop to 5 million.

Harry asked Frank, who was to the side, "How is the training going?"

Frank thought for a moment and nodded: "Not bad, but compared to fighting using the Flyer, they prefer to use the Flyer as a drone."

Harry stroked his chin. Thinking about it carefully, fighting while standing on a Flyer is inherently counter-intuitive, and this seems to indeed fit the combat style of ordinary people better.

"That doesn't matter. How is the combat efficiency?"

Frank looked at these good brothers and shrugged: "The brothers are all like Captain America."

This statement was a bit exaggerated, but it was clear that Frank had a lot of confidence in this unit.

Harry looked at their training footage; there was still a big gap compared to the Pilots described in the system.

As for Spartan Warriors, it is impossible to reach that level at this stage.

The first batch of soldiers basically had no detailed classification of branches; most just used whatever they liked.

Once the establishment expands, Harry will still need Frank to divide them into assault troops, medical troops, support troops, and suicide...

Let's forget about the last one; it's not very humane.

After the inspection, Harry asked about the situation of Frank's family.

"Is there still no response from your family?"

"Dr. Connors says it's getting better day by day. The stimulation effect is getting better and better."

"Is that so." Getting better and better, but just not recovering. Harry felt that he might need to use other things to assist Frank.

The two chatted while walking outside the Base. Harry was next going to the Aerospace Command Center to check on things in the sky.

Unsurprisingly, the satellite network would cover most of the Earth today.

These satellites have the ability to monitor gamma rays, and he would know the first time Loki arrives.

Looking at the satellite network that had already covered half the Earth, Harry was in a great mood.

Just then, a green signal source suddenly appeared on the holographic projection of the Earth.

"Detected a surge in gamma rays. What is going on?"

The appearance of the green signal source immediately caused the entire Aerospace Center to become chaotic.

There were astronomers, nuclear physicists, and a series of experts with professional names that were hard to pronounce.

Such high-energy gamma rays were unheard of!

And they were coming from the Earth's surface, not from outer space!

It was as if someone had conducted some kind of dangerous secret experiment on the ground -- like an atomic bomb.

Harry knew that the big event had begun.

"Switch the screen to the location where the gamma rays were detected."

This was a desolate wilderness with no cities around.

Logically speaking, no power company in the United States had a power grid covering this place, yet it was brightly lit.

From the satellite imaging pictures, these buildings looked like an industrial park, but no industrial park would be built in such a remote place.

If it weren't for the detection of gamma rays, ordinary people would not have noticed this place.

So this could only be a secret military Base.

Soon these lights went out, a fireball emerged from the park, the ground began to collapse on a large scale, and the scene was very horrifying.

Everyone looked at Harry, not knowing how to handle it.

Harry clapped his hands and said:

"Alright, everyone, let's get off work early today. The night shift is over."

"Thank you all for your hard work. Remember to spend more time with your family when you go back; family is very important."

Everyone felt that this was not a good thing, and with the mentality that more trouble is worse than less, they all left work one after another.

After all, they were not reporters, and since the boss let them go, there was no reason for them to stay and be the first to stick their necks out.

Everyone left, and finally, only Harry was left there.

His conjecture was correct; this explosion did indeed produce a large amount of gamma rays, and the collapse of the Base made these gamma rays sufficient to be observed by satellites.

Of course, only someone like Harry who knew the ins and outs could notice this.

The satellites in the sky were specially enhanced with gamma-ray detection functions.

A lot of things would happen tonight.

"Harry? Just a moment ago, the NSA and FBI jointly sent you a document requesting your cooperation in their investigation."

"About ctOS?"

"Yes, they require a lot of data to verify whether we have infringed on privacy."

Hurley's voice paused suddenly.

"Yes, that's it. Do you want to go back to Osborn Tower to discuss this?"

"I'm off work today. I never work overtime, have you forgotten? Why don't you come to my place..."

Halfway through, Harry got stuck. The Osborn mansion in Manhattan had already been sold; now he could only live in Osborn Tower.

So Harry could only say: "Alright, I'll be back soon, but I'm already off work. Do you understand what I mean?"

On the way back, Harry also saw Tony wearing his Iron Man Suit flying back to Stark Tower.

It was no longer using Osborn's electricity there.

It seems Tony had successfully realized the commercialization of the arc reactor.

Later, he would have to find Dr. Otto to discuss upgrading his artificial little Sun.

Deuterium and tritium were still much more expensive than using Helium-3 and deuterium, mainly because the wear on the reaction inner wall was too severe.

But the matter of going to the moon to mine Helium-3 still needed careful consideration.

As for now, let's congratulate Tony.

Just as he was about to take out his phone to congratulate Tony, the black bald man at the entrance of the tower made him stop his movements.

"Aliens have invaded." Nick Fury finally found Harry.

"Interesting joke. I am still under joint investigation by the NSA and FBI." Harry shrugged.

"I'm not joking. Earth needs your help." Nick said, staring at Harry with his one eye.

He didn't have much feeling when watching the movie, but standing in front of Nick, Harry really felt that this bald man had indeed become impatient.

This matter seemed to put a lot of pressure on him -- after all, he had been in contact with Aliens.

Thinking about it, Harry still said: "If you need it, I can lend you these satellites that just went into orbit -- but Stark has them too."

"As for anything else, I have to deal with the NSA and FBI first."

Because he had the script, Harry had many ways to stop this Alien invasion, but if he did that, the World would remain the same.

What if the other side didn't play according to the script next time?

The Battle of New York had to be fought.

After all, this was the beginning of the collapse of the old order.
