Man in Marvel: The Manifestation of the Gods

If successful.

That would remove the last shackles that have troubled Rody and others, and everyone would be like a dragon.

However, this goal is difficult to achieve in a short period of time, so we will proceed in parallel with the support plan.

...

On Mars.

The ambitions of everyone in the Black Palace are naturally good.

But Roddy is now more concerned about how to save his own life.

During this week, he ordered Jarvis to observe by satellite at all times.

Are there any signs of cockroach people appearing again? It would be best to determine their number and distribution range.

But it seemed that the cockroach man realized that Roddy was determined to fight them to the death, and he never appeared again.

But Roddy had a lingering sense of crisis in his heart.

The underground space he had been to before had many tunnels that connected in all directions. It was definitely not a project that a lizard man could have built.

So he is going to take the initiative today.

Go to the Acidalia Plain and look for the cockroach again, with whom I had a brief fight last time.

On the one hand, it was to calculate the specific strength of this little strong man, and on the other hand, it was to test how much advantages and disadvantages his Mark I iron armor had in fighting against the Lizardmen.

It would be great if we could capture one of these little strong men alive.

But out of careful consideration for protecting his own safety, Roddy did not plan to take action himself, but prepared to bring all sixteen iron battle suits to fight a round-robin battle with the opponent.

"let's go!"

With Roddy's order, under Jarvis' control.

Sixteen iron suits came out of the automatic production base with flames coming out from their feet.

Dust spread, and sixteen iron suits rose into the sky one after another.

Follow Roddy who has taken off.

With loyal guards following behind him, a line of seventeen iron suits quickly rose to an altitude of three thousand meters.

It then accelerated to the speed of sound Mach 4.5 and sped towards the Acidalia Plain.

The reason why it dares to go so fast is that the gravitational acceleration on Mars is only 1/2 of that on Earth, which greatly reduces the energy consumption of the iron armor.

Roddy thought about it later and felt that the lizard man's physical fitness might not be as terrible as he imagined. After all, the gravity of Mars is different from that of the Earth.

From this perspective, the power of the Lizardmen may not be as strong as imagined.

Of course, we’ll have to try it out first to see the details.

This time he made even more noise.

As expected, this also attracted the attention of Earth, which was monitoring the habitat 24 hours a day.

...

Venkat's office.

It was two o'clock in the morning in Washington.

Venkat had just fallen asleep in his office when he was awakened by the alarm and the rapid knocking on the door.

"Here it comes, here it comes..."

Venkat's office was filled with an unpleasant smell caused by long-term eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in a small space.

It’s a pity that we can’t find a cleaning service, and we can’t care about cleanliness. It’s enough to just be able to sleep.

He was awakened in a hurry.

As a result, his foot hit the coffee table, and the severe pain made him sober up a lot.

"Fake!"

But it also made Venkat dizzy. After a long while, he gritted his teeth, limped, put on his shoes, and pushed the door open to go out.

Oh, God.

He is almost fifty years old.

It’s better to wait until this incident is over and then retire. Who knows what the future will be like.

Venkat made up his mind that he would go back and spend more time with his family. After all, aliens have appeared, so how far is the destruction of the earth?

Just as Venkat was daydreaming.

He hurried to the newly established Mars Satellite Detection Office, passing through the corridor that was still as noisy as a vegetable market at two o'clock in the morning.

open the door.

It was eerily quiet.

No need to ask, Venkat saw it on the big screen opposite.

The "legion" of steel armor flew at high speed in two rows, leaving a conspicuous wake of several kilometers.

"what are these?"

Venkat almost dropped his jaw. Are these meteorites?

No, he took a closer look and rejected his guess.

"These flying objects took off from the Ares III habitat twenty minutes ago. We speculate that their target is near the Acidalia Plain."

Mindy answered from the side, her face also showed fatigue, and the dark circles under her eyes were a little scary, but she was more excited.

She now has a lot of tasks to do. In addition to being Venkat's secretary, she is also the head of the satellite monitoring office and has truly achieved the value she wants to achieve.

"Twenty minutes ago? Why are you waking me up now?"

Venkat rubbed his forehead and said subconsciously, but before Mindy could look at him, he slapped his forehead again: "Sorry, I was confused after sleeping."

Yes, he was really confused.

It takes about 22 minutes for the signal from the Mars satellite to be transmitted. This is because the distance between the two is large and the launch window has not passed for too long.

The window period when Mars and Earth are closest to each other occurs every fifteen years, when they are about 50 million kilometers apart, and the farthest distance is more than 400 million kilometers.

The current distance is close to 200 million kilometers, and the transmission speed is acceptable. If it is to the farthest distance, the transmission speed can even reach more than 50 minutes.

It's quite sad to say.

Compared with the vast sea of stars, the technology on Earth is still too weak, but Venkat firmly believes that humans will eventually step out of the planet and head towards the sea of stars.

"So if we want to know the results, we need to wait for more than 20 minutes."

"Yes sir."

Mindy was very considerate and said that a small mistake was nothing, she knew how much pressure Director Venkat was under.

"Well, now we can only wait and hopefully this will reveal some of the answers for us."

Venkat smiled bitterly and sat on a chair, while he found someone who had nothing to do with his arms folded.

"Excuse me, can you pour me a cup of coffee? Thank you. My foot must be broken and I can't walk..."

...

On Mars.

Acidalia Plain.

This time Roddy chose to come at noon to avoid the cockroach people hiding in their nests to avoid the extremely cold temperature on the surface.

With the last experience.

Jarvis quickly took Roddy to find the previous cave entrance.

"Mark 1, go in and check it out."

Rhodey chose to let Jarvis control an iron suit to go down and check.

At the same time, he can also see the entire content of the Mark 1 suit through the shared camera.

The rest of the battle suits were not idle either. They were all sent out by Jarvis to search and scan the entire plain inch by inch.

Controlling sixteen iron suits at once did not cause any burden to Jarvis.

Roddy sighed, if Jarvis really evolved into an intelligent life form, he would be unrestrained and might even become hostile to humans.

That's probably the dark Moss.

Able to control everything on Earth, the higher the technology, the easier it is to control.

However, if you are facing a "primitive man" like the cockroach man who does not seem to have much intelligence and relies on individual strength to survive, it will not be very effective.

Perhaps this is the reason.

Moss hopes to warn humans not to rely on artificial intelligence for everything.

...

Just as Roddy was thinking about it.

Jarvis has already entered the cave in the Mark 1 suit.

Fifty meters vertically downward.

But this time, Jarvis observed no signs of life.

"Keep going deeper inside."

When Jarvis asked for instructions, Roddy didn't hesitate.

He didn't believe it. After just one contact, the cockroach man who attacked first ran away?

"Ok sir."

As Mark I gradually explored deeper into the cave, everything seemed normal until many terrifying claw marks were discovered.
