Chapter 775 The Current Status of the Defense Front
In the end, Luke did not take the risk and used the Infinity Stones to evolve Lilith.
Putting aside his fantasies, Luke decided to let Lilith grow and evolve on her own.
Return to the space base in Earth orbit.
command center.
Luke looked at the message from Lilith.
The explosion of Hydra's base caused fluctuations in time and space.
The spatial disorder of the Nine Realms, as Asgard calls it, created an overlapping effect over London.
That was not a mirage, but the phantom of the Nine Realms.
Both the magical world and Kamar-Taj have taken action.
The wizards of Kamar-Taj must stabilize the Earth's barrier to prevent invasion of dimensional space.
And people in the magical world must also ensure the stability of the magical world.
Because the dimension where the magic world is located is attached to the earth.
The spatial disorder on Earth will also affect the magical world.
The dimensional stability of the magical world is equivalent to determining the life and death of the magical world.
Fortunately, after Hermione graduated from Kamar-Taj, she has become a director in the wizarding world.
Although Hermione has a good foundation, it is better to start from the grassroots level for official work.
It is unacceptable to be out of touch with the masses.
So, Hermione is still a director now.
But as long as Luke wanted, he could push Hermione into the position of Minister of Magic at any time.
It's just that Luke doesn't want to force things.
The explosion at Hydra's base in London was also an accident.
But this accident exposed this branch of Hydra.
Carter and the SAS are chasing the enemy.
Steve, Stark and others are still arguing with the United Nations and the European Union over the resettlement of refugees.
These people didn't think about solving the problem, but just kept asking the Earth Defense Front to deal with the refugees.
But the refugees are not willing to leave Earth and go to Mars.
And Luke had already set the rules.
All members of the Earth Defense Front must be implanted with a neural link system.
The refugees don't want to.
I don’t know how many spies there are, but there are definitely some.
They are worried that their identities will be exposed and are unwilling to implant the neural link system.
Lilith did not tamper with the neural link system.
But the entire base is under Lilith's full surveillance.
Any abnormal behavior will attract special attention.
Moreover, Lilith also has Luke's magic potion, Veritaserum.
The magic of this thing is that it cannot be circumvented by willpower or training.
Unless you have powerful magical abilities.
However, ordinary earthlings do not have it.
Those who have this ability are all big names in the magic world. Who would go to space to play the game of guessing my identity?
Therefore, all the spies sent from Earth are either hiding very deeply or their actions are not exposed at all.
Otherwise, he would have been sent back by Lilith long ago.
This has caused headaches for all intelligence agencies.
It's too difficult to put people in space.
Because they didn't know the secret, they all thought that the neural link system had exposed them.
Neither Lilith nor Luke had any thoughts of explanation.
It would be better to let them misunderstand and send fewer spies into space.
But there are always forces that refuse to believe in evil or have a lucky mentality.
So this kind of thing continues to happen.
At this moment, Lilith's cold voice interrupted Luke's thoughts.
"Boss, there is a huge space fluctuation in the sky above London. The magicians of Kamar-Taj said they can't do anything about it. It's caused by the change of the gravitational field..."
Luke: "I understand. Let's get the fleet ready."
The gravitational field fluctuations that Lilith mentioned are actually the fluctuations caused by the movement of the nine planets.
Because of the mutual attraction, the space between the planets overlaps, forming a superposition effect.
So, what we see above London now is the true situation of the Nine Realms.
The Nine Realms are not all beautiful worlds.
There are several places that are filled with darkness, and the scene is just like the hell imagined by humans.
Luke is closely monitoring the situation in the command center.
"What are Stark and the others doing?"
Lilith: "Stark commanded a destroyer and led the interstellar paratroopers into the UK ahead of time."
“We are now negotiating with the British government.”
Luke shook his head.
"Tony still prefers to stay within the rules... this is taking up too much time."
Luke thought for a while and said to Lilith:
"Tell Tony that we are not on the same level as the government on Earth. We don't have to have an equal dialogue."
Although the Qin family has a good relationship with the British royal family, things are things and human relationships are human relationships.
Besides, the British royal family didn’t know that the Earth Defense Front was established by Luke.
Therefore, you have to think about things according to your position. This is the result of the butt determining the head.
This is not a derogatory term, but a statement.
That’s what’s happening in the UK.
The importance of the magical world to Luke is self-evident.
The magical world is his cosmic factory.
The Earth Defense Front relies on trading magic products with other civilizations in the universe.
If he only relied on the little trade between the countries on Earth, he wouldn't even be able to get out of the solar system, and the Earth Defense Front would have to be disbanded.
A trade war is a war without smoke.
He is more difficult to deal with than a real fight.
Fortunately, there is Lilith...
Robots can make industrial products cheap.
There are still endless resources available in the universe.
Therefore, trade with countries around the world is just a bargaining chip to maintain relations, not the main thing.
The economic lifeline cannot be controlled by others.
Only by holding money in one hand and a gun in the other can you stand firm.
As long as Luke wanted, he could bargain-basement prices for all physical goods on Earth.
It's just that he doesn't want to disrupt the trade order on Earth too much.
The main trade between the Earth Defense Front and other countries is steel and various metals.
This also includes rare metals.
There's too much of this stuff in the universe.
With Lilith's industrial manufacturing capabilities, it's like free.
The industrial mothership sails over and carries out a full range of mining and smelting.
The finished product is then transported back to Earth by large cargo ships.
The large cargo ships here are much larger than the main battleships.
The main battleship Bai Qi class is no more than 10 kilometers in length.
The cargo spacecraft must be at least 20 kilometers in length.
The largest is 40 kilometers long.
The volume of a single shipment is equivalent to the annual steel consumption on Earth.
And it’s very cheap.
It directly caused several major mining giants on the planet to go bankrupt.
The happiest place is Tokyo University.
In the past, due to various reasons, mining groups extorted high prices for ore.
Because a lot of infrastructure is needed and the demand is huge, there is nothing we can do but accept it.
Later, Dongda secretly took action and acquired a lot of mineral resources, and the situation began to improve.
After the Earth Defense Front's trade was launched, the price was instantly reduced to dirt low.
And we don’t need RMB, we just barter things.
Although Dongda is a major importer of agricultural products, at certain times, it can also be a major exporter.
What the Earth Defense Front wants are raw materials. After being transported to space, there will be a special production line for further processing.
There are also many spices and ingredients traded from other cosmic civilizations.
The food on the Earth Defense Front is much better than on Earth.
Todai was also happy to get rid of the situation of being restrained and became the largest trading partner of the Earth Defense Front.
The combination of a space factory and the most powerful industrial nation on Earth...
The capital controlled by that isolated nation in the world can only watch helplessly and not get a single bit of profit...
