Chapter 177 - 174 The World, 9 Seconds. (I)
… ??
"Uh …"
Looking at Luke with bright eyes, the Ancient One ruthlessly broke the other's fantasy.
"Atlantis submerged from the surface of the land for nearly 10,000 years; the center of energy source was once built and has long since been reduced to rubble and destroyed."
The Sorcerer Supreme's blow didn't make Luke feel depressed.
He waved his hand to show that it wasn't a big problem.
If they could get specific blueprints or related technologies from Atlantis, Howard could completely duplicate one.
He believed that his genius brain was enough to ignore the existence of technical barriers.
'So, how is Namor going to start it up?'
Luke frowned slightly and thought of this problem.
The height of the giant armor was equivalent to that of two Empire State Buildings; even though it was different in materials, it couldn't be compared with reinforced concrete.
But no matter how you say it, the weight wasn't far off.
Namor won't be able to carry this big guy!
"This is why I have waited until now."
The Ancient One shrugged her shoulders and frankly said, "I'm curious too, so I wanted to know the answer."
"I thought you had everything under control, so there was no hurry …"
Luke subconsciously wanted to spit.
Compared with the harsh and rigid image of the Sorcerer Supreme in the comics, this one seemed to be much more cheerful, somewhat informal, free, and relaxed.
The Major General's attitude had changed from awe and respect at the beginning to relaxed and calmness.
"As a Sorcerer Supreme, I have read many books, seen many things, and experienced wonderful things that many people have never experienced in their whole lives … but I'm not an omniscient and omnipotent God."
The Ancient One was very honest and confidently said, "Besides, knowledge is a part of life, a way of looking at everything in the world. Not an ornament for a lofty image, an arrogant reason for superiority."
"There is no shame in not knowing the answer to a question."
"Worthy of the title Sorcerer Supreme, your ideological level is different from ordinary people."
Luke quipped insincerely.
If it was the father and son of the Stark family, especially Iron Man, who was cursed by knowledge,
They distinguished between ordinary people and geniuses by their ability to communicate normally with them.
For example, when talking about nuclear submarines, Captain America expressed his confusion.
According to Howard's judgment, the guy could only be classified into the primate group.
This included the Generals of the Department of Defense, the Pentagon's military leaders, and all the ordinary people who couldn't comprehend a bit of simple physics.
As the Invisible Woman said about Mr. Fantastic, the best way to get the attention of a genius nerd was to talk to him about quantum mechanics.
"Then, Master Ancient One, are you going to open a portal and let me get rid of those two unlucky guys who think they haven't been discovered yet?"
Luke rubbed his hands as if he couldn't wait.
"That's a good idea."
The Ancient One nodded in agreement.
The world's disputes were left to S.H.I.E.L.D. She was merely a spectator and incidentally could join in the fun a bit.
Staying in Kamar Taj all day long in the isolated world, dealing with Dormammu from the dark dimension to collect debts, was quite boring.
And the young Major General was good at giving people something interesting to watch.
"It's just---"
The Ancient One paused, looked at the giant 2,000 feet armor in the picture, and asked curiously, "When Namor starts the ultimate weapon, can you dispose of it quickly?"
"The workings of the Continental Shelf Oscillator is probably to consume matter at an alarming rate, thus forming a giant void and releasing energy immediately afterward… According to the ancient records from Kamar Taj, the whole process will last for 4 hours and can't be stopped."
Luke raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and then asked, "So how long is the interval from activation to operation?"
He seemed to understand why the Atlanteans would use a Celestial's armor as a so-called Continental Shelf Oscillator.
By creating a large-scale gravitational field to absorb matter and then releasing it violently, an unimaginable explosion was formed, and sinking the North American continent wouldn't be a hard thing to do.
Moreover, the seismic reaction could create an amplification phenomenon similar to the 'reverberation effect,' resulting in extremely serious earthquakes and tsunamis.
'I can imagine it being used like this …'
Luke's mind shifted, and he couldn't help but be impressed by the imagination and creativity of the Atlanteans.
'Or perhaps this was the correct way to use it?'
"Less than 10 seconds."
The Ancient One answered.
With the Eye of Agamotto's ability to rewind, she wasn't worried about any horrible consequences that would be difficult to put an end to.
Now that Luke won the bet, he was qualified for further study in Karma Taj.
In addition, after this incident, Temple of the Three might have a degree of cooperation and communication with S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Ancient One thought it was necessary to give this Major General some tests.
"I have a bold idea."
After a moment of thought, Luke looked at the blade master in the suit and tie. The corners of his mouth picked up a smile.
