Chapter 191 (1/2)
”If you don't think of a good reason, you're finished, you know? Nick Frey.”
The capable golden red armor broke the window and fell down from the skylight. Tony Stark wrapped in the armor and said rudely to nick that the security system here was actually designed by him, and only he could break in with weapons. Nick secretly remembered this in his heart and made up his mind to find someone to modify it next time and install the system.
Tony glanced at the room, looked at the familiar faces for a moment, then moved his eyes. His armor helmet popped open, revealing Tony's unhappy face: ”there are so many people here. What's wrong with me? I don't think it's more important now than saving those injured in the attack.”
”S.h.i.e.l.d. has sent people to rescue the wounded, and where are Skynet's rescue robots! The crisis here is no worse than there. We are fighting for the survival of mankind. Now time is very important to us, Tony! We need you.”
Nick's words are very sincere. Now every minute and every second is urgent. He has concentrated more than half of the scientific research strength of the s.h.i.e.l.l.d., but the progress of the results is still slow. Now he can only count on Tony.
”Of course you need me. When everyone can't do anything, who can you expect except me?” Tony smiled proudly. ”Now tell me, what makes the s.h.i.e.l.e.l.d. helpless?”
”Let me have a look. What's this?” Tony pushed Nick away from him and looked at the ancient stone tablet in the center of the laboratory in surprise. The irregular tablet was engraved with an obscure sentence in ancient words, which seemed mysterious and strange to Tony: ”Lemurian words! This kind of thing really exists. You should find archaeologists instead of me.”
If he had not seen similar things in Howard Stark's relics, Tony would have difficulty recognizing the relics of this ancient, lost ancient civilization, Lemuria. The history and existence of this once sunken continent in the South Pacific between North America and Asia and Australia are a mystery. Human beings know almost nothing about it except that it is a civilization at the same time as Atlantis.
The discovery of suspected Lemurian relics here is an important discovery for world civilization.
”This is the death tablet!”
PIM stood in front of the stone tablet and explained to Stark: ”the artifact from the ancient civilization Lemuria. We are sure that Lemuria was once a highly developed and powerful civilization. They had many wars with the Atlantis civilization. However, both civilizations have a common enemy - 'Apocalypse'.”
”The Apocalypse is very powerful. After tenacious resistance, the two hostile civilizations were destroyed together. Most of the traces they left in the world were erased from the earth by the disaster under the apocalypse. Only some things that cannot be destroyed were left - this stone tablet is the most important one.”
In the last century, the stone tablet was removed from the imperial palace of the Chinese emperor by the European army. After nearly 30 years of wandering, it fell into the hands of the Divine Shield Bureau. It has been stored in the research institutions of prehistoric civilization. Researchers found a large number of super technologies that are incomprehensible to science, and finally became the evidence to determine the existence of Lemurian civilization.
However, because technology is too advanced to be used, it has been sealed in the warehouse of research institutions until the mysterious stone tablet is mentioned on the Obelisk translated by an alien and called it the ”monument to death”.
”It's really very mysterious. The technology contained in it should not be touched by current humans... We should be careful to touch what we don't understand, otherwise it will bring disaster. Of course, we should exclude me.” Tony nodded and replied, focusing on the stone tablet.
”But why is it about the survival of mankind?”
Nick looked at Tony with one eye for a moment and said cautiously, ”because the culprit of the demise of Lemurian civilization has reappeared!”
Tony turned to look at him and said, ”Skynet!”
”In the records of another prehistoric relic, the obelisk, Skynet is indeed one of them, but the 'Apocalypse' is far more terrible than we thought. Lemuria, Atlantis and even those ancient civilizations that have disappeared for a long time are destroyed because of it. The earth is very fragile, and human civilization is at stake...”
