Chapter 1690

Cat Getan was destroyed.

If this were in a realist work, it would be a very thrilling opening. Unfortunately, in the world of superheroes, cities are destroyed every second.

But even so, Cat Getan City could still bloom in vulgarity, or rather, make a fool of itself. Because even in the superhero world, there are almost no cities that have been destroyed because of a brawl between citizens.

The situation evolving to this point inevitably carried some cruel meaning, but because of the special situation of Cat Getan, it is hard to say that it is not Gothamites who deserve it. At least those who are still here now are 100% pure deserve it.

Unlike wars between countries and regions, gangs don't bomb transportation hubs first when they fight, nor do they slander transportation arteries or simply blow up highways.

On the one hand, gangs rarely have this kind of strategic vision. Most of this generation of gangs are also fighting this kind of war for the first time. They are not professional military strategists. Most of them fight step by step, immersed in grabbing territory and being grabbed, and have no time to manage transportation hubs.

On the one hand, it makes no sense for them to blow up these facilities because the enemy is not from the outside. No one will transport troops from the outside, and most material supplies also go by sea. Grabbing the pier is an advantage, and land transportation is not that important.

Therefore, most of the outsiders and locals who were afraid of death ran away overnight when the war just started. Those who remain now are thorough war lunatics. Even if you say "deserve it" to their incomplete corpses, it can't be called cold and heartless.

On the way Harley Quinn took Harley to find Poison Ivy, the people sitting in the S. H. I. E. L. D. office saw the current situation of the city through her eyes. From the initial cursing and sighing to the later silence, the atmosphere in the room basically hovered between "did I drink too much last night" and "I should have drunk more last night."

"No bombing." Magneto said: "Cities bombed by bombers are not like this."

Nick of course also knew, so he explained to the younger children: "The shape of building debris caused by bombs dropped from the air by bombers is completely different from that caused by ground explosives. When the equivalent of explosives is consistent, the range covered by bombers is wider, but the damage caused by ground explosives is greater."

"If they used bombs, grenades, or rocket launchers to beat the city into what it is now, then how much did they use?"

Stark stood with his hands on his hips on the side of the screen next to Jarvis and asked somewhat confusedly. His footsteps paused, but he still walked to the screen and pointed to the upper half of a building on it and said: "Look at the burning marks on the steel bars here. This doesn't look like any known bomb can do it."

"Can't you do it either?"

"I haven't studied this kind of thing." Stark shook his head slightly and said: "I haven't been an arms dealer for a long time. Besides, if I invent a bomb that can easily melt the steel bars of building standards, I will be condemned by humanitarianism in the international public opinion field. Pepper will roar at me for a whole week: 'If you can't work, don't add chaos!!!'"

"But ordinary bombs can also blow up buildings, right?" Pietro, who was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, looked up and asked.

Stark nodded and said: "That's why I feel confused. If you develop a bomb just to make it destroy buildings in another way, or even not collapse faster, then what is the point?"

Soon, Stark and everyone in the room knew what the point was. The answer is an arms race.

As we all know, the source of the gangs' firepower at the beginning was imported from Eastern Europe by Harley Quinn and Harley, the two newly appointed arms dealers. But Gothamites have nothing else, just a very sufficient spirit of self-reliance. They feel that relying on imports is too unreliable, so they plan to produce it themselves.

But military production lines are different from ordinary industrial production lines. Even if Cat Getan is an important industrial city, it is more inclined to the chemical industry and lacks a large part of the production lines and raw materials needed for military production.

Harley Quinn and Harley are really capable. They really got a part of the legacy divided by the prodigal sons of the Soviet Union's disintegration era, but most of them are not climate-forming, and those that are climate-forming cannot be transported in.

Facing the scattered machines and workshop parts that didn't even have control assemblies, the amazing wisdom and huge courage of Gothamites allowed them to create miracles again, mainly relying on the latter.

Gothamites always have a mysterious self-confidence in the face of this kind of thing, that is, although I don't understand the principle, the advantage must be with me. Although this thing can't even move, I can use a screwdriver and a screwdriver to modify them so that one foot on the accelerator can push the earth away.

But the strange thing is that although 99% of the experimental machines were killed, Cat Getan can always find a few peerless geniuses like Jason who pried the tires of the Batmobile with his bare hands among those tens of millions of people. After some tossing, they really succeeded.

However, how could the crazy little brains of Gothamites stained by rain be satisfied with ordinary military fire? Although they understand neither magic nor science, they just feel that it is cool to knock the bomb to plus 16 and enchant the firestorm, so they did it.

These surprise inventions of theirs don't all have practical value. Just like the bomb that Stark found that seems to have a special burning effect on metal, it didn't improve the efficiency of destroying buildings, but the arms race in Cat Getan is originally about who is cooler.

When a gang starts to roll the military industry, the other 99 have to keep up with his rhythm, because in Cat Getan, you can not live, but you can't have no work.

How much territory you grabbed, how much money you earned, and how many people you have under your command are just items for early gang comparison. What gangs compare to in the end is a fashion value.

You have to admit that the godfather image of a black suit, black leather shoes, a poppy flower on the chest, and seeing people saying "I will give you a condition you cannot refuse" has to some extent reversed the world's view of the Mafia, distinguishing them completely from those street punks.

In fact, the Mafia is not so beautiful at all, but as long as the fashion value is stacked enough, once the stereotype is formed, it is difficult to change again.

Therefore, after passing the initial chaotic war period and reaching a strange balance, many gangs entered the era of rolling technology and rolling image. Although all this developed too rapidly, it was not completely without reason.

First of all, the two head war dealers in this city are a former Batman and a former Joker. After they split into two gangs to fight, the attribute "former" also needs a question mark.

Batman and Joker always compete in all aspects. They soon got tired of the ordinary daily life of you hitting me and me hitting you, and entered their most familiar field—comprehensive competition in all known fields of humanity, with a beauty that ignores anyone's life or death.

And just as mentioned in Cat Getan's Law, this ghost place rolls and rolls, and sooner or later something will happen.

"What is that?"

Stark in front of the screen keenly captured something floating in the sky. So Wanda asked Harley in her heart, but Harley had just returned and didn't know the current situation, so she opened her mouth and asked Harley Quinn.

Harley Quinn covered her eyes with her hand and said: "Oh, that? I heard it's the base of the famous Nygma family."

"Why is it flying in the sky?"

"Probably because I feel that the ground is not very safe."

"I mean, how is it flying in the sky?!" Wanda repeated in Harley's mind. This time Harley didn't ask Harley Quinn, she asked back somewhat confusedly: "What how is it flying in the sky? Leaving the ground naturally flies in the sky."

"Ask her about the anti-gravity system." Stark said.

"Is this aerial fortress using an anti-gravity system? Is this a special technology developed in your universe?" Wanda turned her head and looked at Stark, probably asking him if there was any problem with asking this.

Stark knew Batman's background, and he also knew that this might be the universe where Batman was. But when dealing with Batman, Stark knew that the technological level of the civil field in the universe he was in was behind this universe, almost at the level of a few years ago in this universe, that is, the level before there was an aerial transportation system and a solar system development plan.

Then what's going on with this aerial fortress taken out by the gang family? It can't be that they opened up overnight, right?

"I don't know about this either. But I know people from that gang family. Why don't I call and ask?"

Harley said while enduring the headache. She felt that the voice in her brain was quite compatible with her. Maybe one day she would go to this universe again, and the other party could help, so she was also very happy to do a favor for the other party.

Harley borrowed Harley Quinn's mobile phone, pressed a few numbers on it, picked up the phone and asked: "Hey, are you Jason? Uh, are you the big one or the small one? I can't hear your voice very clearly..."

"Oh oh, I see. You are not the one in my universe. Yes, I am Harley. I called mainly to ask about the aerial base you made, uh, what's going on?"

"What? There are too many monsters on the ground? What happened during the time I left... Okay, it's like this, a friend wants me to ask some technical questions, anti-gravity system or something."

"Oh, it uses the Batwing system, right? Hmm, you made some modifications, Tim drew the design drawings, I didn't expect him to have this ability, yes yes yes, I know you are the one who operated it, you are amazing, okay?"

Stark waved his hand in front of Wanda, lowered his voice and said: "Ask her how the material problem was solved, especially in terms of metal."

Wanda closed her eyes and began to focus on asking questions. After a while, she opened her eyes somewhat confusedly and said.

"He said they used the metal in Cat Getan's buildings."
