Chapter 70 Technological Blockade
The work of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is very busy, to put it mildly, he wants to command the overall situation, and theoretically he is involved in all the affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Of course, this is only theoretical, after all, people's energy is limited, S.H.I.E.L.D. handles hundreds of large and small affairs a day, and Nick Fury can't handle it even if he works 24 hours a day.
Therefore, he adopts a hierarchical management model, and the affairs of a specific level are handled by agents of a specific level. This not only improves the operational efficiency of S.H.I.E.L.D., but also greatly improves secrecy. No one can leak secrets, because no one knows the whole secret but himself.
Of course, he will not trust his subordinates to the point of unreserved, so he will conduct random inspections from time to time to ensure that S.H.I.E.L.D. is always in a state of efficient operation.
However, for some particularly sensitive matters, he will always keep an eye on them to make sure they don't get worse.
So now, Melinda, who had finished reporting on Evenson's situation, had just left, and Coulson came.
He had come to report on the latest situation of the secret research institute's analysis of the evil people.
"It doesn't seem like good news. Nick Fury saw Coulson's grim look and knew he wasn't going to say anything good this time.
Coulson was really in a bad mood, so he directly began to report, "According to the research institute's comparison of the dissection, internal structure and blood samples of the twenty-five special mutants, it was found that their structures and abilities are exactly the same, the only difference is that the five in Afghanistan are more advanced and more capable, but they are almost not armed, so they will be easily eliminated." ”
"Can you be sure that they are artificially mutated?" Nick Fury asked his top concern.
Although within two days, twenty-five mutants with the same form and ability appeared, the possibility of natural mutation could be basically ruled out.
But there are still doubts about this, for example, why a team appeared on the US mainland to attack special bases, and a team appeared in Afghanistan to attack US troops searching for Tony Stark. Why is there a difference in the strength and weakness between them, and why is there such a big difference in their equipment?
These questions have always bothered Nick Fury.
Nick Fury already has a big suspicion of the people who attacked the special base, and that is the Hydra that was turned over.
Although both the hacker and Ethan tried their best to hide the purpose of their actions before they died. But they forgot that 90% of the items stored in the special warehouse were seized from Hydra, except for Hydra. Who would still be obsessed with these things, things that have been sealed for sixty years?
But if this thing was done by Hydra, then these mutants should also be the masterpiece of Hydra.
So the question is, which one is stronger in mutation technology? Ah, no. Well, even if they wanted to blossom at both ends, tie up Tony Stark and force him to invent weapons, or if he was Howard's son, they would be able to take revenge on him.
So why is the gap between their equipment almost world-shattering? On the one hand, the equipment is so good that it explodes, and on the other hand, the equipment is not even as good as the primitive people in the tropical jungle?
Could it be that there is still a gap between the rich and the poor within Hydra? The rich on the US side are overflowing, while the poor on the Afghan side are scum? Don't be funny, how is this possible?
In fact, the poor equipment on the Afghan side is indeed caused by the lack of money to buy it.
So it's a bit far-fetched to say that they were made by one organization, but if they were made by different organizations, Nick Fury doesn't believe it.
How valuable is the technology to artificially induce directed mutation in humans? It's probably more valuable than nuclear technology, and what else can this thing share?
The U.S. government has been researching this technology for many years, but General Ross has been on the verge of going mad and has not succeeded, and S.H.I.E.L.D. still has no clue at all, so the two secret organizations have succeeded? Are the United States and S.H.I.E.L.D. already so far behind the world?
Therefore, there is a high probability that these mutants are artificially created, but with so many suspicious things, Nick Fury is still a little unsure, so he wants to hear the conclusions of the research institute after careful research.
This time, Coulson did not answer positively: "The institute has been studying what causes these mutants to mutate, but they have found that they can't do a deeper study." ”
"Why?" asked Nick Fury, puzzled, he knew that the institute had the most advanced equipment in the world, and the best scientists, but they couldn't do in-depth research, which made him puzzled.
Coulson explained, "The institute found a special energy in their blood, and they suspected that was the reason for the mutation of these people. However, those energies are always decaying rapidly, and when the blood is withdrawn from the body, it decays even faster, and before it can be analyzed, the energy will disappear. ”
"There's no way to fix this?" asked Nick Fury.
"The researchers found that low temperatures can organize these attenuations, but at that temperature, that energy becomes inactive and does not respond to any stimulus, so it cannot be studied unless the temperature rises, but this is ......," Coulson said.
"If the temperature rises and the energy returns to activity, it will decay quickly, right? Nick Fury had just come out of the picture, and had a thought, "You know what this situation reminds me of, Agent Coulson?"
"Technological blockade. Coulson took a deep breath and said, "This reminds me of the technological blockade, the law of energy decay, which almost eliminates the possibility of analysis by outsiders." Just like when our government sells advanced foreign aircraft, it will weld the engine to death and mix white phosphorus in the main control chip, and once anyone wants to steal the technology, these things will be scrapped immediately, and nothing will be obtained. ”
"Yes, that's what I thought of too. Nick Fury said with a solemn face, "This method cannot be naturally generated, so the mutation of these people must be artificial, and their technology is more advanced than we think." ”
The blockade of mutation technology is not as simple as an airplane welding its engine to death. Not only does he have to ensure that others can't analyze the cause of the mutation, but he also has to ensure that these blockade methods will not be activated while the mutant is alive.
The aircraft engine is welded to death, and the plane can still fly, but if these mutants are alive, the energy begins to decay rapidly, then it is estimated that they will die immediately.
This kind of biotechnology is unimaginable in Nick Fury's cognition. But it's not difficult with Evenson, because that mysterious energy is the main power of the warlock, the evil energy. With a qualified warlock's mastery of evil powers, as long as you do a little bit in advance, it is easy to cause this effect.
But no one does that, and the other people who use the evil power want to spread it constantly, so how can they consider letting it decay.
Just as Nick Fury was in a headache, his phone rang out, "Sir, Agent Hilvet asked to see him, and he said there was something important. ”
