Chapter 3011: Mercury Record (VIII)

Wei En scanned the people in the lobby roughly. At this time, there were about 100 people gathered here, with about 30 people in each force on average. From their posture and mental state, it could be seen that they were all elites among elites. These people should be the backbone of the Justice League in the future.

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 unfolding subsequent work, and the management and training of these people cannot be sloppy.

Fortunately, whether it is Bruce or Oliver, they have solid management experience. Both are from wealthy families. Bruce manages Wayne Enterprises, and Oliver led the Mexican Revolutionary Army team. These two major organizations have at least tens of thousands of people. Being able to take on management responsibilities, fiddling with these hundreds of people is still easy.

Soon, the team in the lobby was organized. They adopted the simplest method of lining up by height, counted the number of people, and after confirming the list again, they started drawing lots to decide the class.

Basic training has no targeted courses, mainly to familiarize with social situations, so 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 25-30 people per class, one monitor per class. Bruce and Oliver served as head teachers, one leading two classes. Others, in addition to being responsible for teaching, were also responsible for logistics management work.

Wei En at least took the Justice League's consultant salary. Since he came, don't be idle, so he also served as a psychology professor.

However, for this group of students, psychology is not a very important course. Wei En only has about two to three classes a week, and the teaching task is not heavy.

But this does not mean his work is easy, because he also has to hold group meetings for graduate students and doctoral students remotely, as well as teach online courses for undergraduate students. He is basically not idle throughout the week.

Bruce and Clark took the students to visit the living area, while Diana took Wei En and Oliver. Both of them were up here for the first time. Diana personally took them to visit the dormitories and offices.

The living area above the Mercury base is different from all the houses they have lived in before. It basically has no life atmosphere, and the main theme is a sense of technology.

Just like many movies filmed, the bedroom has metal floors and walls, has sleeping pods that look like small spaceships, the office has holographic projection screens combined with floating seats, and the indoor is all hidden light sources, only able to see brightness, just unable to see exactly where it is bright.

Wei En is willing to call this decoration style Stark aesthetics.

In fact, Stark completely has the technology to build normal houses inside the Mercury base, but he just doesn't want to do so. He is the kind of person who is afraid that others won't know the technological content of his creations, so he must pile all the technological concentration on the surface.

Wei En actually quite likes this simple style, mainly because the space is large and bright, and it has an automatic cleaning function, so he doesn't need to clean it.

Oliver was obviously also very satisfied. He and Wei En lived opposite each other, and the two shared a very spacious office. When Wei En went to be busy with other things, Oliver could also help him watch self-study through the screen.

It is almost lunch time now. Diana ordered meals using an electronic screen. About ten minutes later, the robot sent hot meals. Wei En found that this was actually freshly made.

"Most of the facilities here used to maintain basic survival are fully automatically operated. We only need to prepare the raw materials."

"You mean we need to transport ingredients from Earth?" Oliver asked.

"No, no, no, just have plant seeds. Planting, raising, picking, and cooking are all done by machines." Diana said, "According to Bruce, this set of equipment comes with some space seeds that have been experimented with, but it takes some time to grow up, so Clark still brought some grain, combined with nutritional supplements, which should be enough for everyone to use."

"Too amazing." Oliver sighed while holding a coffee cup.

"Actually, the most amazing thing is the energy system here." Diana obviously had communicated with Bruce. She said, "The energy system can extract almost unlimited clean energy from the sun and send it back to Earth in the form of radio waves."

"They have already realized unlimited energy? I mean, the universe that invented this set of equipment?"

"Yes, but this is even just the threshold of interstellar exploration. All civilizations that can walk out of their own star system have basically realized unlimited energy in the narrow sense, just the efficiency of extraction and utilization."

"Unlimited energy in the narrow sense, meaning it's not unlimited enough?"

"Yes, in our view, the energy in the sun is infinite, but that's only because we consume little. I heard that one of the three major empires in their universe consumes the energy of a sun on average every two minutes."

"My god, hard to imagine."

"However, when they reach that level, what they possess is naturally another kind of unlimited energy." Wei En said, "And there are cosmic administrators. They will maintain the dynamic balance of cosmic mass consumption and growth, and stop abnormal consumption in time."

"What counts as abnormal consumption?"

"The consumption of civilization development is not abnormal. What needs to be guarded against are those strange things like invasions from other universes." Wei En said. He has heard Greed talk freely in the high tower, and has some understanding of the work content of abstractions like Eternity.

Oliver looked down at his watch and said, "Why haven't Clark and the others come back? Is the living area over there very large?"

"The entire base living area is unimaginably large." Diana sighed a bit. She said, "It is precisely from the scale of this base that I deeply realized how developed that universe is. At its peak, there might be 40,000 to 50,000 employees working here at the same time, and it was orderly, without any chaos."

"Truly amazing." Oliver put down the sandwich in his hand and said, "We will also have such a day, don't be too anxious."

"However, I think the reason they didn't come over is probably that they aren't eating lunch here." Diana continued, "There is still some work on Earth that hasn't been completed. Perhaps we will have to wait until dinner to see them."

"There should still be some people who need to be picked up, right?" Wei En said, "I didn't see the young heroes who have some fame on Earth."

"Yes, we have already contacted quite a few of them. Most of them expressed their willingness to join. After preliminary assessment, we selected a part of them, but because they are all over the world, they might arrive one after another within the next week."

"About who are they?" Wei En asked.

"According to the lists 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 suffered a business crisis, Booster Gold who was fired by the team because of gambling and is deep in a career crisis, the Wonder Twins who haven't landed on Earth for long and caused quite a few troubles, Omen who is a bit like a weakened version of Professor X but has prophetic ability..."

"Didn't find Starfire?" Wei En asked.

Diana shook her head and said, "According to the information sent back by Hal, Starfire hasn't arrived on Earth yet. He has already sent Green Lantern to watch her. If she approaches Earth, we will receive the news."

"Then what about Spoiler?"

"Stephanie? We checked her father's identity information, but when Cat Getan was frozen for the first time, her father escaped from prison and disappeared, and hasn't returned to this day. She also hasn't been active in Cat Getan."

Diana shook her head and said, "Our universe's situation is too different from other universes. First of all, it is younger. Many members of the Justice League in other universes haven't appeared yet, and we can't find them even if we look. For example, until now, we haven't received news of Martian Manhunter."

"Those who have been found, some are too young and not suitable to become superheroes, some have their fate trajectories changed and simply became ordinary people. We can't force them to walk the path of other universes."

"The young heroes who can be found now are mostly natural superpowered people, and their ages are also quite suitable. The most important thing is that they are willing to come themselves. If they are not willing, we cannot force them."

Oliver shook his head and said, "Some are too indecisive. I suspect that quite a few of them must have encountered trouble in ordinary people's society, want to use this place as a shelter, or simply are for fame and profit."

"Although it's not to say they can't be for this, but taking this as motivation, I'm afraid it's very difficult to persist in arduous training."

"I also discussed this issue with Bruce." Diana touched her ear and nodded, "We will set goals for young heroes as much as possible, let them have their own ideals. I believe they can also feel the charm of this cause. But if they really can't, then perhaps they are not the successors we are looking for."

"Don't worry too much, Oliver." Wei En also spoke up, "Earth lacks everything, but it doesn't lack young geniuses. Even if they are not willing now, after humans enter the interstellar era, in order not to be eliminated, they must also work hard to keep up with everyone's pace."

Oliver nodded and said, "Bruce and Clark both let me chat with young people more. They think I can guide them."

"You certainly can." Diana said, "You are the spiritual leader of the Justice League. In a sense, all of us are gathered here because of you."

"You don't need to do much. You just need to keep thinking and keep sober here, and you have already made contributions to the Justice League and the entire human race."

Wei En also looked at Oliver and nodded. Diana is a very pragmatic person, will not do meaningless flattery, and rarely comforts people against her conscience. She always speaks one by one and seeks truth from facts.

And the fact is, Oliver Queen is the most benchmark spiritual leader in the Justice League and even the whole world, a true internationalist and revolutionary.

Clark, Arthur, and Hal fought guerrillas with him in Mexico, Bruce and Lex provided support behind him, Diana cheered for him in the international social circle, and even Wei En often corresponded with him, chatting with him about philosophy and doctrines.

So as long as he exists, he can inspire people, provide people with endless strength, and also let young people see living legends, thereby finding their own direction.

Diana's phone rang once. She picked it up, looked at it, and said, "Bruce and the others are back, and they also brought a few newcomers. Do we want to go over and see?"

"Let's go." Wei En and Oliver both stood up and said. ===== CHAPTER 3012 =====
