Chapter 3021 Mercury Notes (7)
Chapter 3021 Mercury Record (VII)
The sky was cloudless on the day we set out for Mercury. Fortunately, as the days passed, the scorching summer finally ended. After entering autumn, the temperature dropped slightly, and more importantly, there was wind, so the perceived temperature was no longer so hot.
This should be the last hot summer in Gotham, because with the joint efforts of Pamela and city government staff, a large number of green plants have been planted on the rooftop balconies of various buildings or in the open spaces of public facilities. Each type of plant is growing well, the problem of the heat island effect has been solved, and next summer will be much cooler.
Since there are quite a lot of people going to Mercury this time, they are divided into two starting points, Gotham and Metropolis. Schiller, Bruce and Wonder Woman organize the people in Gotham, and the remaining members of the Justice League are responsible for Metropolis.
Schiller came early in the morning and sat in a coffee shop by the Gotham River drinking coffee. The Flash Barry went to Schiller's place the night before. The two of them came together. Schiller was revising Barry's paper, and the two discussed the details of the paper.
After drinking half a cup of coffee, Schiller looked up from the computer and said, "I think it's almost done. Please do a final check within a week. Make sure there are no errors in the symbols and separator formats. I'll go say hello to the editor-in-chief..."
Just then, a young and beautiful figure pushed open the door. Barry waved over there. Dick and Raven, who were standing in front of the order counter, also waved at him.
Soon, the two of them came over with coffee. Raven took a big sip of iced coffee and said embarrassedly, "I said I wanted to do it myself, but he insisted on coming with me..."
Schiller pushed up his glasses, looked at Dick and asked, "Are you not going this time?"
"No, I'm in the next batch. I have to go back to Bludhaven. Tim plans to build a factory there, and I have to go over and keep an eye on it..."
"Regarding the cultivation of plants for specific drugs for Alzheimer's disease?"
"Yes, the natural environment there is very suitable, and the residents are also very welcoming, but there are too many things that need to be confirmed, so I will probably go there two months later."
"Where's Jason?"
"He won't go either. His focus is on the fighting world. Someone has to go there to explore."
Dick quickly took Raven to the next table, and the two of them stayed together for a long time. Breakfast time was almost over when a cloud of mist rose above the Gotham River, and students from the magic academy arrived.
They were not wearing school uniforms, but casual clothes instead. They chattered and poured into several nearby coffee shops and breakfast shops. From the expressions of the shop owners, it was clear that they must have sneaked out to buy things quite often.
This street basically sells food and gifts, so it can be called the Hogsmeade of Gotham. As for Diagon Alley, it is a small town upstream of the Gotham River.
In order to prevent the coming and going of magicians from disturbing the world of ordinary people, the exit to the other world was opened upstream of the Gotham River, which is northwest of Gotham, close to the Canadian border.
Originally there was nothing in that place except a few abandoned factories, but more and more magicians built houses there, and gradually a small town was formed. Most of the people living there dealt with magic, and it was also the most frequented place for students from Gotham Academy of Magic.
This town accepts and welcomes magicians, but it is relatively remote and barren. If you want to have fun, you have to go to Gotham City. However, students from the magic academy are not allowed to enter Gotham without the permission of the professors in the school.
So they were all very happy to be able to go out into the city openly this time. Wonder Woman called for them to gather several times by the river, and many people lingered in the gift shop.
Schiller glanced at his watch and felt that it was about time, so he got up with Barry and boarded the last bus with several students from Rodriguez College.
The portal is in the basement of Wayne Group. They need to take a bus to Wayne Building first. After passing security check, they can go through the portal to Mercury.
The security check before entering the Mercury base is very strict. No dangerous items can be brought in, not even Schiller's umbrella, because the life equation on the umbrella is an uncertain risk factor, so Schiller only took an ordinary black umbrella.
The security personnel actually found quite a few prohibited items on the students, but most of them were small magic props used for convenience, such as cleaning rooms or fetching water. However, due to abnormal energy fluctuations, none of them could be brought in.
By the time Barry went through security, his entire body was a huge abnormal energy wave, and the machine's alarm was almost breaking, but of course they let him through in the end.
Bruce and Wonder Woman did not go through security check because they had to go back to pick up the Amazon female warriors. The people from Paradise Island were also gathering in Gotham.
Not long after, amid the curious gazes of the students of the Magic Academy, chattering sounds appeared outside the door.
But unlike what they expected, the people who came in were not strong women in primitive tribal costumes, but young and lively girls wearing modern clothes, similar to the female students.
In fact, Paradise Island is very famous for its tourism industry, and under Diana's management in recent years, Paradise Island has also become a world-renowned sports equipment and clothing brand.
In order to make the Paradise Island brand bigger and stronger, good employees are naturally indispensable. It is not impossible to hire people from outside, but of course, we also need to cultivate our own business talents. Therefore, many young Amazon women have come to human society to study, and after graduation they have entered the family business step by step.
Because of their blood inheritance, their physical fitness is much better than that of humans, and their lifespan is also longer than that of humans. A professional lifespan of one training can be as long as hundreds of years. Moreover, because of the family dividend model, their work enthusiasm is also high, making them rare good employees.
It is this group of people who are participating in the Mercury Project this time. Although the female warriors who have been training in the tribe are stronger, if they want to engage in agent-type work in human society, it is definitely better for them to be young women who have lived in human society for a long time.
After the two groups met, they soon started chattering. The Paradise Island people had a similarly bold and unrestrained character, which was very likable. The girls quickly won everyone's hearts.
After the final security check and preparations were completed, the portal opened. Bruce stood at the front of the line, followed by Diana. The security personnel emphasized the space work rules for the last time, and then everyone lined up in an orderly manner to enter the portal.
Schiller was in the middle of the team. When he passed through the portal, he only felt a flash of light in front of his eyes, and then the texture of the floor under his feet changed.
I have to say that DC's portal technology is more advanced and much more comfortable than Marvel's wizard's portal that only requires immortality. There is no obvious feeling when passing through it, and you won't feel dizzy or nauseous, which greatly facilitates use by all kinds of people.
After getting used to the light in front of him, Schiller looked around the hall. This was obviously a specially built reception hall. The hall was octagonal with a portal on each side. However, only two of them were lit at this time, corresponding to the entrances and exits of Gotham and Metropolis. But perhaps in the future, portals should be built in Atlantis, Amazon and other places.
The people from Gotham arrived faster, and the people from the other portal had not come in yet. Bruce was originally organizing the people here to line up and go to the living area, but he soon received a call from Clark, saying that there was a problem with the reception work on their side and they needed help.
So Bruce and Diana left, and Schiller was responsible for maintaining order here, but in fact he didn't have to do much, because he was also very famous in the magic academy, and the students of the magic academy were a little afraid of him, so it was very quiet.
However, the ladies from Paradise Island were very curious. They didn't understand why this seemingly gentle professor could quiet down the originally lively students. Soon, several bold and curious girls came over.
"Okay, ladies, be quiet and stand back." Schiller wanted them to step back, but this group of bold Amazon women never knew what it meant to retreat. They kept moving closer to Schiller and asking questions as they moved closer.
"Professor, why do you have vertical pupils? Do you have atavistic blood?"
"Professor, what country are you from? Are you mixed race? What subjects do you teach?"
"Professor, do you have MSN? Or can you leave me your email?"
Schiller was dizzy from their noise, but fortunately the group from the Metropolis came back in time, but it was obvious that things were not going well for them, as Arthur's loud swearing could be heard from afar.
"I've stressed to you several days in advance, legs! Create legs! But you insist on using that fish tail to jump around! Do I even need to prepare an aquarium for you?!"
"Okay, Arthur, they didn't do it on purpose. Don't be angry. It's already been fixed, right? It didn't delay anything..."
Clark and Arthur walked out of the portal one after another, followed by a group of Atlanteans, then Oliver and a group of Mexican guys, and finally Bruce and Diana.
As soon as Oliver saw Schiller, he came up to him and gave him a hug. It was from Oliver that Schiller learned what trouble had occurred at the Metropolitan.
The young fighters of the Mexican Revolutionary Army and the Atlanteans all gathered in the metropolis. The former had no problem, as they all entered the country smoothly with the help of the Luther Group, but the latter were in big trouble.
Although the Atlanteans called themselves the Sea People, they were actually ancient humans who sank into the sea and were descendants of gods. Although they could live in the sea, they still had limbs like humans, so they should have been able to adapt to land.
But there are indigenous people in the sea. For example, in Zebel where Mera is, there live real sea creatures such as mermaids, snake people, and clam monsters. Many residents of Atlantis intermarry with them and give birth to many descendants of the divine blood sea.
Hybrids are somewhat like mutants in human society, and certain blood combinations make them extremely powerful. This time, Arthur specially selected all of these powerful hybrids, wanting them to receive the best training on Mercury.
However, some of these mixed-bloods had different appearances. As they had lived too comfortably on the seabed for many years, they were disorganized and undisciplined. Even when they were notified in advance that they would transform into human form, they did not take it seriously. This resulted in a mess when they came ashore, with a bunch of people falling all over the place and scaring the young Mexican warriors.
Although they were not well prepared, they were still tough. Facing the future Aquaman, they didn't dare to say anything, but they were full of chatter when facing the Revolutionary Army soldiers. The two sides didn't agree on anything, and a fight broke out when Clark wasn't paying attention.
Fortunately, Bruce and Diana arrived in time and resolved the conflict, allowing them to pass through the portal safely.
