Chapter 3632

"How is it?" Scarlet Witch Wanda handed Shiler a cup of coffee. Shiler sat in front of the desk, looking at the documents in his hand without raising his head and said: "Our trip to Massachusetts has made no progress and has not brought any beneficial changes."

"Is the problem with environmental protection that big?" Wanda frowned slightly and said, "Otherwise, let's go to space, there is a large place and there will be no pollution."

Shiler smiled and lowered his head and said: "Madam, we established the magic school to cultivate talents who can maintain the Earth's magic defense network. If we put the magic school outside the magic defense network, then what is the magic defense network used to protect?"

"I really don't understand," Wanda said, "You should try the temperature of the coffee, I am good at this."

"Thank you, Madam," Shiler took a sip of coffee and commented, "The temperature is just right, and the flavor is also good."

Wanda stood up with a smile. Shiler glanced at the side of the desk and then stopped her: "They have already sent your internship report, Madam. If I sign it now, you can change your resume immediately and then look for a job freely; if it is a week later, I can recommend you to my peers at the Hopkins exchange meeting. Which one do you want?"

"What do you think?" Wanda walked over and closed the door, she said, "Interning here feels completely different from the community hospital. That place pays more attention to efficiency, as long as more people can receive treatment, my style of behavior doesn't matter. But since I came here, I have to ensure that I am gentle enough and smile at everyone. No matter how unreasonable they are, I have to control my temper."

"This is not actually the difference between hospitals," Shiler said, "You go to the recuperation department of New York-Presbyterian Hospital and go to the emergency room, and you will also see two completely different nurses. Which one you want to be depends entirely on which one you prefer."

"Which one will be more useful? I mean, can save more people and let more people get rid of the trouble of illness."

"Cannot compare like this."

"I thought you would say emergency room."

Shiler shook his head and said: "Wrestling with the god of death is indeed worthy of admiration, but using a gentle attitude to send a soul that has suffered from illness on its last journey is also valuable. There is no difference between high and low."

"This makes me unable to choose," Wanda walked over and sat down and said, "I think I can do both well, but I can only choose one. Which one do you think I should try first?"

"Emergency room, I guess."

"Why?"

"Considering your sentimental personality, Madam," Shiler said while writing and drawing on the documents, "Emergency room can keep you too busy to be compassionate, which is better for your mental state."

Wanda nodded after careful consideration. Shiler gave her the internship report and then said: "Come to me whenever you have an idea."

After Wanda left, Shiler continued to look at the documents in his hand. He was not dealing with work related to the nursing home, but was still looking at reports related to the Magic Academy.

Ding-a-ling, the phone rang. Shiler picked it up.

"Hello? Nick? Yes, it's not done yet. I'm looking at the data sent by those damn testing agencies, although I don't understand, how much damage will it cause to pile a few small stones on a piece of land that has evolved for 4.6 billion years. But out of respect for environmental protection, I am still trying to look at it."

"Yes, I know the problem is not environmental protection. But compared to questions like 'let people from other universes come over' and 'is it safe for them to come over', I care more about our Mother Earth."

"Alright, you can hold a meeting if you want. But don't expect me to have any constructive remarks. I really have to understand whether building a castle will affect the groundwater veins there."

Hanging up the phone, Shiler placed the projector in front of his desk, operated it, and connected to the communication. Many people's avatars appeared inside, including Nick, Steve, Stark, Loki, Strange, Professor X, etc.

"Good morning, everyone."

"Good morning."

"It's not morning here."

"Alright, I wish everyone well."

Several people exchanged pleasantries and then got straight to the point.

"The resistance to opening the access rights for other universes is very great," Nick said straight to the point, "Congress almost voted against it unanimously, Asgard is noncommittal, and the three major empires are unlikely to agree. What do you think?"

"This is a matter for our entire universe," Steve said, "It really can't be arbitrary. The key is that if people from other universes come over and cause some trouble, and it is poked into the universe again, then humanity will have to be responsible for this."

"Didn't Spider-Man come over before and nothing happened?"

"That's Spider-Man! Even if 10,000 Spider-Men are tied together, they might not be able to cause as much trouble as a Batman. They are just loud. A dog that bites doesn't bark." Nick shook his head and said.

"Be careful that Batman puts a camera in your bedroom," Stark sneered and said, "Maybe they know everything we are saying now."

"Anyway, I think this matter is very suspenseful," Loki said, "Although on the surface we are just recruiting students from various universes, what if their parents insist on coming to see? We can't refuse the guardian's request to visit the school, but their coming will make many people feel very nervous, including local civilians. Not everyone can accept a freak in a tight suit wearing a bat suit wandering outside late at night. Our folk customs here are simple!"

"That's true," Nick nodded and said, "If Batman wants to send his child over, he will definitely come. If he really comes, he won't leave easily, at least he will turn our side upside down. By then, I really won't be able to explain to Congress."

"I know this is a very risky decision," Strange said, "But if this matter can succeed, after the situation stabilizes, it will be of great benefit to us. If every Earth has a magic defense network, it can greatly reduce the risk of them suffering external attacks, and also give them more energy to help each other."

"They all have to owe us a favor, and we will become the leader among them. How much power does a leader of a cross-universe human alliance have, I don't need to say more, right? If it weren't for this, why would I run around?"

"Stephen makes sense," Professor X said, "Danger and opportunity are proportional. Letting students and parents from different universes come here does have certain risks, but if the children receive education here and make our universe their alma mater, they will naturally lean towards us emotionally, and they won't sit idly by if something happens in the future."

"No, we have to look at the long term," Stark said, "If we hope to be the leader of all humans in the universe, we can't just think about seeking profit for ourselves, let alone emotional kidnapping, but must sincerely consider other universes. Or consider humanity in the multiverse as a whole. Only with such courage can we be worthy of the name."

"Starting with magic will definitely be a good attempt," Strange continued, "We have things that other universes don't have, which is a very heavy bargaining chip. The key to changing the situation is in our hands, which means we can negotiate terms with them."

"And Batman's condition must be to come over," Nick spread his hands and said, "I don't need to say, you also know how curious they are about our universe. They absolutely, inevitably have to come over, and have to stay. Such a big thing, it's impossible not to let Congress know."

"It's too late to say these things, they already know, and they obviously refuse. Otherwise, that congressman wouldn't have raised any environmental protection issues. They are expressing their opposition." Steve said.

"I really want to know why we care about that group of politicians," Stark said, "We just build a castle there, what can they do to us?"

Others shook their heads together. Nick said: "It may sound ridiculous, but I still want to emphasize: it's not that the country needs superheroes, but that superheroes need the country. The main residents of the Earth are thousands of ordinary people, and the meaning of the existence of the national government is to manage these ordinary people. This is currently the best way."

"If there is no country, do you want us to deal with things outside the universe, make technological breakthroughs, and find ways to manage billions of people at the same time? Can you do it?"

"Since it's not possible, we need to maintain the status quo and let the national government manage ordinary people. This can pull us out of the hell of endless administrative management and give us more energy to do other things. This is not changed by which government of which country is doing well or not."

"Since we need the government, we can't completely ignore their opinions. Because to some extent, they are reflecting the opinions of ordinary people. Just like Loki said, if we say we want to bring people from other universes to our universe to make a hodgepodge, 90% of ordinary people will not agree."

"We don't have to be constrained by that group of politicians in Congress, but we must fully consider the opinions of the vast majority of ordinary people in the Earth's main civilization. Although politicians have their own interests, for the sake of votes, they occasionally reflect public opinion."

"Occasionally?"

"Yes, very occasionally. This time we ran into it."

Stark sighed, obviously having nothing to say. Nick continued: "This is not a plan like an air transport system or Mercury construction that can immediately reflect human development and benefit ordinary people. It will take at least ten years for a magic academy to educate a generation. The so-called human alliance is even more invisible."

"It may bring about violent turmoil, but there is no short-term return. Most politicians and ordinary people don't like such things. In fact, I don't like it either, because investments are risky. A generation is enough for too many accidents to happen."

"What does China say?"

"There is no news yet, I think they might be discussing it," Nick sighed and said, "In my opinion, they might choose a more compromise way, such as putting the magic school in outer space."

"Doesn't this work?" Steve asked.

"Of course it doesn't work. We need the magic school to accept the protection of the magic defense network. If we throw the magic school far away, isn't that saying we don't want students to accept the protection of the magic defense network? Isn't this smashing our own sign?"

"Does Asgard have any views?" Steve looked at Loki and asked.

"We thought you just wanted to establish a magic school within the Nine Realms, but we didn't expect you to want to establish a multiverse magic school. I have to say this step is too big. Considering the national defense needs of the Nine Realms, Thor may not agree to this radical plan."

"Your wording doesn't have to be so cautious, he definitely disagrees," Stark sighed and said, "The key is that the Earth is within the Nine Realms, and if something happens here, he has to be responsible for cleaning up the mess. I get a headache just thinking about it."

"After all, we are not the Asgard of the past, we can't punch everyone who enters the Nine Realms. The various diplomatic matters involved are really too complicated. I also have a headache."

"What about Dr. Shiler? Shiler? Shiler?!" Nick shouted at him through the screen and said, "Why don't you speak?"

"I said I'm looking at environmental protection documents," Shiler said without raising his head, "I always feel that these testing agencies are not very reliable, the data is a bit strange."

"Can you understand this? I didn't expect you to understand geology."

"No, I don't understand. It's just that I know that the mineral content of groundwater detected at the same sampling point at the same time cannot be 6.6 and 9.6 at the same time. At least my eyesight is normal."

"Stop looking at those useless reports," Nick said, "Environmental protection problems can be big or small. Testing agencies will only issue data that testing units require them to issue... Alright, I can see you don't want to manage this matter. Let's think of a way ourselves."
