Chapter 45: It's Time to Build a Spaceship VI
Director Nick: "In other words, the set of combination magic items provided by Mr. Ghost this time is simply a chicken rib for us, not only can we not use them, but we have to find a way to store them away from other people's use." ”
Doctor Strange: "Exactly!"
After thanking him, Director Nick sent off Dr. Strange, who was an external employee, and checked the test report provided by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s own experts, and the word that appeared most often on it was "unknown"!
With his rich experience, Director Nick quickly found a solution - hire temporary workers! There is no shortage of people who are not afraid of death, especially scientific researchers, and those crazy scientists in the movie have prototypes.
As long as you prepare the routine, you can easily deceive those scientists who are not afraid of death, maybe there are any other scientists who really want to become fire demons to study!
As for Doctor Strange's point of view, it is okay to avoid it a little, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the mage represented by Doctor Strange have a tacit understanding in this regard.
The military of the United States knows how to engage in human experiments, how can a secret agency like S.H.I.E.L.D., which specializes in dealing with abnormal incidents, be completely clean, everyone is turning a blind eye and cooperating happily on the surface, and if they really want to pick the letter of the law, it is impossible for the two sides to cooperate together.
Although S.H.I.E.L.D. is not clean, the mages represented by Doctor Strange are really clean? If the mages can drink the northwest wind, they will be able to take care of their fill! There used to be an old saying, "Poor literature and rich martial arts, and cultivating the law and breaking the family." If you don't have money, you still want to learn spells?
The mages of the Holy Land Kama Taj are not farmers, where do they get their food? They don't produce and study spells every day, and the cost of consumption is like mountains and seas, and who will fill the resource void caused by such a big price? Therefore, many things cannot be studied deeply, otherwise everyone will not be able to play happily together.
These things are similar to the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, and everyone in the circle knows it, but everyone has tacit cooperation, and no one says anything to the outside. Don't underestimate these things, they may not have the power of the law, but after a long time, the change of dynasties, and even the laws that are implemented have been revised several times, they can still be tenaciously preserved for a reason!
Director Nick summoned Agent Coulson: "Looks like you're well-rested, and you look refreshed right now." ”
Agent Coulson: "The rest is good, and more importantly. Agent Coulson raised his wrist and shook it, "Mr. Spectre's gift was unexpectedly useful. ”
Of course, this magic prop Agent Coulson did not hide it, the experts of S.H.I.E.L.D. tested and gave the conclusion that it was just ordinary pyrite, and the conclusion given by Doctor Strange was an interesting little toy, and with the acquiescence of Director Nick, after a round of procedures, this thing rightfully became Agent Coulson's personal property.
Director Nick: "It's good if you're happy. "The little toy given by Mr. Ghost is too simple and not very powerful, and it can really only be regarded as a relatively interesting toy here in S.H.I.E.L.D.
The function is similar to the combination of Mind Projection and Magneto's magnetic field control, but unfortunately it can only happen on that small piece of Fool's Gold. In recent years, there have been more and more mutants, and their abilities are also strange, including many ruthless characters, and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents have seen a lot of them when they are on missions.
This little toy is to make the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fresh, and it really doesn't take it very seriously! If it is replaced by the Beast God Crystal, or at least the ghost face of the King of Mist, it will be impossible for S.H.I.E.L.D. to deal with it so easily" I'm afraid you still have to work hard to sort out your judgment about Ragnarok, I need your opinions for reference. ”
Agent Coulson: "No problem, I'll get the report out tomorrow." But what are we going to do with Mr. Spectre? I suspect Mr. Spectre already knows where the spaceship is, and even if we don't agree, there's nothing Mr. Spectre can do about it. ”
Director Nick: "I'd like to see what Mr. Spectre does!" Director Nick said confidently, and the matter seemed to be over at this point, until April 10, 2012, when Director Nick summoned his henchmen to his office, where Doctor Strange was waiting for them.
Director Nick: "I've summoned you here today so that Doctor Strange can examine you to see if your memories have been altered. ”
There are so many inspections of classified units like S.H.I.E.L.D., and the leaders above don't know when they get nervous, they will randomly add some completely unreasonable inspections, and the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have long been used to it. However, if Doctor Strange uses magic to examine himself, he still examines his very valuable memories, and no one will be happy in his heart, but fortunately no problems are found after examination.
Director Nick: "You're my most important work partner, the backbone of S.H.I.E.L.D., and if something goes wrong with you, it's a big problem, and I have to be careful." Because I had just been attacked with magic, the attackers tried to alter my memory, but luckily I had a magic amulet on me, and Doctor Strange arrived in time to help me fight the attack. Director Nick nodded to Doctor Strange in thanks, and Doctor Strange nodded in return, "The Doctor is gathering the personnel of the New York Temple, and you must cooperate with the mages summoned by the Doctor to test everyone in the headquarters." ”
Everyone came out with the order, only Agent Coulson was summoned back by Director Ke in the middle of the road, "Coulson, you can take a look at this material." ”
Agent Coulson took the information and looked at it, it was a document on green space protection, mainly aimed at the environmental pollution that human over-industrialization may cause, "Do you need me to check this chemical plant?"
Although there is nothing abnormal in the data, as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Director Nick said that it is not a shame to say that it is impossible to take a meaningless information to show himself, and the work of greening and environmental protection is not under the control of S.H.I.E.L.D., so it is very likely that there is a problem with this chemical plant and needs to be dealt with by himself.
Director Nick: "No! According to the information, the chemical plant closed down 20 years ago. ”
Agent Coulson "......?" then noticed that the materials in his hand, both in packaging and format, looked quite old.
Director Nick: "This information in your hand was originally a Level 9 classified information of S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
Agent Coulson: "!"
Director Nick: "Originally, according to your level of secrecy, you would not have access to this level of confidential information. But now it doesn't matter, the classified information kept in the classified archives, with a level of secrecy as high as nine levels, has been altered without our knowledge! We don't even have evidence to prove who did it! What's even more ridiculous is that we don't even know when 'he' did it!"
Agent Coulson: "Chief, you mean 'him!'" is not the same pronunciation in English, and it is very easy to distinguish. Without knowing the time, the process, and without any evidence, he can determine that the target is him, in other words, Director Nick must have very strong auxiliary evidence in his hands, and he can clearly point out who the target is.
Director Nick: "Who wanted to buy a spaceship some time ago?"
Agent Coulson: "Mr. Ghost!"
Director Nick nodded, "The information in your hand has been completely revised, but before it was modified, this document recorded a spaceship that crashed a long time ago. In the 60s, an attempt was made to mine there, and in the process a spaceship buried deep in the ground was discovered, and S.H.I.E.L.D. took over the matter and sealed off the information. The reason why no one was sent to study in depth was because the spaceship had become a waste product when it was discovered, maybe for the convenience of leaving, the aliens opened a passage from the spaceship to the ground, and those mining guys dug this passage, but there was obviously something wrong with this spaceship, and there is still very strong polluting radiation, and it is buried deep underground, so it has been staying there and no one cares. ”
Agent Coulson: "Mr. Spectre has his eye on this ship, is it possible that he will fix it?"
Director Nick: "As I literally mean, this spaceship is scrap at all! It was already very badly traumatized when it crashed, and when the aliens left, they took everything that could be used, and what we found was complete scrap, like a car, sent to a garbage dump, and all that was left was a broken frame. The situation of that spaceship is similar, the experts suspect that at the time of the fall, the power system on the spacecraft went wrong, causing a serious energy leak, and the skeleton of the spacecraft is now full of deadly radiation contamination, and the experts have calculated that if humans are exposed to this terrible radiation without protection, it only takes more than ten minutes of accumulated radiation to be fatal!"
Aliens are not fools, to carry out interstellar voyages, even if aliens have advanced technology, the basic spirit of thrift is still needed, it is impossible to throw a few spaceships down to a planet, if it is such a waste, I am afraid that if I can't wait to complete the interstellar voyage, I will have problems first.
Even if the spaceship is damaged due to various factors, if conditions allow, they will recycle as much as possible, at least the parts that they think are valuable, so what is left behind is not so much the spaceship as the scrap that has been dismantled from the core components.
Agent Coulson: "So what does Mr. Ghost want this scrap for?"
Director Nick: "I've asked Doctor Strange this question as well, and Doctor Strange speculates that Mr. Spectre wants to use his magic to get the information he wants from the spaceship. However, this is only speculation, and Doctor Strange himself cannot be sure. But I'm not here for this scrap-class spaceship, I have a mission for you, Agent Coulson, and I, as the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., have authorized you to secretly build a backup database outside of HQ!"
