Chapter 3022 Mercury Record (VIII)
Schiller took a quick look at the people in the hall. There were about 100 people gathered here at this moment, with an average of about 30 people in each faction. Judging from their physical and mental state, they were the elites among the elites. These people should be the backbone of the future Justice League.
Of course, there will definitely be more than these people in the future, but the first batch of people is crucial. They are the most important cornerstone for carrying out subsequent work, and the management and training of these people cannot be neglected.
Fortunately, both Bruce and Oliver have solid management experience. Both of them come from wealthy families. Bruce runs the Wayne Group, and Oliver has led the Mexican Revolutionary Army. These two major organizations have at least tens of thousands of people. They are able to shoulder the management responsibilities and it is easy for them to manage these hundreds of people.
Soon, the teams in the hall were organized. They adopted the simplest method of lining up according to height. After counting the number of people and confirming the list again, they began to draw lots to decide the classes.
There are no targeted courses in basic training. It is mainly about familiarizing oneself with social conditions. Therefore, there is no need to divide classes according to race and ability. Classes are mainly for arranging living areas.
More than 100 people were divided into 4 classes, with an average of 25 to 30 students in each class. Each class had a class monitor. Bruce and Oliver were the class teachers, each teaching two classes. In addition to being responsible for teaching, other people were also responsible for logistics management.
Schiller was receiving a consultant salary from the Justice League after all, so since he was here, he might as well sit around doing nothing, so he also became a professor of psychology.
However, for this group of students, psychology is not a very important course. Schiller only has about two to three classes a week, and the teaching workload is not heavy.
But this does not mean that his job is easy, because he still has to hold group meetings for graduate students and doctoral students remotely, and teach online classes to undergraduate students. He is basically busy throughout the week.
Bruce and Clark took the trainees to visit the living area, while Diana took Schiller and Oliver. It was the first time for both of them, so Diana personally took them to visit the dormitories and offices.
The living area on the Mercury Base is different from all the houses they have lived in before. There is basically no atmosphere of life, and the main feature is a sense of technology.
Just like what is shown in many movies, the bedroom has metal floors and walls, and a sleeping cabin that looks like a small spaceship. The office has a holographic projection screen and a suspended chair, and all the light sources are hidden in the room. You can only see the light but cannot tell where exactly it is.
Schiller prefers to call this decoration style Stark aesthetic.
In fact, Stark has the technology to build a normal house inside the Mercury base, but he just doesn't want to do it. He is the kind of person who is afraid that others don't know the technological content of his creations, so he must pile all the technological concentration on the surface.
Schiller actually quite likes this simple style, mainly because the space is large and bright, and it has a fully automatic cleaning function, so he doesn't need to clean.
Oliver was obviously very satisfied. He and Schiller lived across the street and they shared a very spacious office. When Schiller was busy with other things, Oliver could help him study through the screen.
It was almost lunch time. Diana ordered the food using the electronic screen. About ten minutes later, the robot brought the hot meal. Schiller discovered that it was freshly cooked.
"Most of the facilities here for maintaining basic survival are fully automated. We just need to prepare the raw materials."
"You mean we need to transport food from Earth?" Oliver asked.
"No, no, no. Plant seeds are enough. Planting, raising, picking, and cooking are all done by machines." Diana said, "According to Bruce, this equipment comes with some space seeds that have been tested, but it takes some time for them to grow, so Clark still got some food. With the addition of nutritional supplements, it should be enough for everyone."
"It's amazing." Oliver exclaimed, holding his coffee cup.
"In fact, the most amazing thing is the energy system here." Diana had obviously communicated with Bruce. She said: "The energy system can extract almost unlimited clean energy from the sun and send it back to the earth in the form of radio waves."
"They have achieved infinite energy? I mean, the universe that invented this device?"
"Yes, but this is only the threshold for interstellar exploration. All civilizations that can leave their own galaxy have basically achieved unlimited energy in a narrow sense. It's just a matter of efficiency in extraction and utilization."
"Infinite energy in a narrow sense, but not infinite enough?"
"Yes, in our opinion, the energy in the sun is endless, but that's only because we consume less. I heard that one of the three major empires in their universe consumes the energy of a sun every two minutes on average."
"Oh my god, it's unimaginable."
"But at their level, they naturally have another kind of unlimited energy." Schiller said, "And there are also universe managers who will maintain the dynamic balance between the consumption and growth of the universe's mass and stop abnormal consumption in a timely manner."
"What counts as abnormal consumption?"
"The consumption of civilization development is not abnormal. What we need to be wary of are strange things like invasions from other universes," said Schiller. He had listened to Greed's talk in the tower and had some understanding of the abstract and entity work content of eternity.
Oliver looked down at his watch and said, "Why haven't Clark and the others come back yet? Is the living area over there very big?"
"The living area of the entire base is beyond imagination." Diana sighed. She said: "It is from the scale of this base that I deeply understand how developed the universe is. At its peak, there may be 4 to 5 employees working here at the same time, and everything is orderly and not chaotic at all."
"It's amazing." Oliver put down the sandwich in his hand and said, "We will also have this day, there is no need to rush."
"But I think they didn't come to have lunch here." Diana continued: "There is still some work to be done on Earth, so maybe we won't see them until dinner."
"There should be some people who need to be picked up, right?" Schiller said, "I don't see any young heroes who are famous on Earth."
"Yes, we have contacted many of them, and most of them expressed their willingness to join. After a preliminary assessment, we selected a number of them, but since they are located in different parts of the world, they may arrive one after another within the next week."
"Who are they?" Schiller asked.
"Based on the list of Robins and Teen Titans from other universes, we found Cassandra Cain who is still in Hong Kong, Blue Beetle who just graduated from college and opened a company but encountered a business crisis, Booster Gold who was fired from the team because of gambling and is in a career crisis, and the Wonder Twins who have landed on Earth not long ago and have caused a lot of trouble. They are a bit like a weakened version of Professor X but have the ability to predict the future..."
"Didn't you find the spark?" Schiller asked.
Diana shook her head and said, "According to the information sent back by Hal, Starfire has not yet arrived on Earth. He has sent Green Lantern to keep an eye on her. If she gets close to Earth, we will receive the news."
"And what about the spoiler?"
"Stephanie? We found out her father's identity information, but when Gotham was frozen for the first time, her father escaped from prison and has not been found since then. She has not been active in Gotham either."
Diana shook her head and said, "Our universe is too different from other universes. First of all, it is younger. Many members of the Justice League in other universes have not appeared yet and cannot be found. For example, we still haven't heard any news about Martian Manhunter."
"Some of those who were found are too young to become superheroes, and some have had their fates changed and have simply become ordinary people. We can't force them to follow the same path as in other universes."
"Most of the young heroes we can find now are born with super powers and are of the right age. The most important thing is that they are willing to come. If they don't want to, we can't force them."
Oliver shook his head and said, "Some of them are too indecisive. I guess many of them must have encountered trouble in the society of ordinary people and want to use this place as a shelter, or simply for fame and fortune."
"It's not that we can't do it for this, but if we use it as motivation, it will probably be hard to persist in the tough training."
"I have discussed this with Bruce as well." Diana touched her ear and nodded, saying, "We will do our best to set goals for young heroes and let them have their own ideals. I believe they can also feel the charm of this career, but if they really can't, then they may not be the successors we are looking for."
"Don't worry too much, Oliver." Schiller also said, "Earth lacks everything except young geniuses. Even if they don't want to now, when humans enter the interstellar age, they must work hard to keep up with everyone else in order not to be eliminated."
Oliver nodded and said, "Bruce and Clark both asked me to talk to the young people more. They think I can guide them."
"Of course you can." Diana said, "You are the spiritual leader of the Justice League. In a way, all of us are gathered here because of you."
"You don't need to do much. You just need to keep thinking and stay awake here, and you will have made a contribution to the Justice League and the entire human race."
Schiller also looked at Oliver and nodded. Diana was a very pragmatic person. She would not make meaningless flattery and rarely comforted people against her conscience. She always said what she meant and sought truth from facts.
The fact is that Oliver Queen is the most iconic spiritual leader in the Justice League and even in the world, a true borderless person and revolutionary.
Clark, Arthur and Hal followed him to fight guerrilla warfare in Mexico, Bruce and Lex supported him behind the scenes, Diana cheered for him in the international social circle, and even Schiller often corresponded with him and talked with him about philosophy and doctrine.
Therefore, as long as he exists, he can inspire people and provide them with endless strength. He can also allow young people to see a living legend and find their own direction.
Diana's cell phone rang. He picked it up and looked at it before saying, "Bruce and his friends are back, and they brought some new people with them. Should we go over and take a look?"
"Let's go." Schiller and Oliver both stood up and said.
