Chapter 112: Speculation
The Kun fighter circled in the air and slowly landed on the ground. Natasha. Romanov with Peter. Parker and Bob Eagle arrive at the destroyed silos.
A group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents had cordoned off the scene, vigilantly monitoring the surrounding situation. The Lizardmen only took one nuclear warhead from the silos, and the remaining nine remained in the silos, as the wellhead was so badly damaged that it was impossible to move from the silos.
They suspect that the lizardmen might strike again and take the remaining nuclear bombs, so they are very heavily guarded.
Natasha. Romanov first took out his identity card, then verified his iris and fingerprints before passing through the security check.
"Did the technical team find anything?"
She looked at the agents who were using the scanner to scan every inch of the corner.
"We tested the remnants of explosives and found the remnants of Octokin."
Octokokin is the explosive with the best comprehensive performance used in the military today, because of the relatively high cost, it is usually used for high-power missile warheads. This advanced explosive was simply not accessible to ordinary people.
"The attacker first concentrated three spherical bombs on an explosion above the silo cover, blew up a weak point, and then directly penetrated the silo cover with his arm, and then controlled the spherical bomb to fly into the interior of the silo and detonate, blowing up the entire silo into the sky."
Agent Sitwell said they found the clues on the silo cover that had been blown up more than 20 meters away by the bomb.
The corner of his eye twitched visibly as he said that the manhole cover had been pierced by the attacker's arm. The world is becoming stranger and stranger, and even Captain America, the hero of World War II, does not have such terrifying destructive power.
"We are going through Octokin's source of recourse, and we believe it won't be long before there will be results."
Although the formula of different factories, different production lines and different batches of Octokokin is the same, there will be very slight differences in the finished products produced, and only by distinguishing the batch of explosives and tracing the whereabouts of this batch of explosives can we find out the attacker's feet.
Octokin is not an inferior explosive that can be produced in a dirt workshop, and the shipments are very small, so it is very easy to trace.
Natasha observed for a moment that the main body was still intact and the 105-ton reinforced concrete manhole cover was still intact, but a large piece was dented in the middle due to the destruction of the bomb.
"Can Colonel Johnson do similar sabotage?"
Natasha asked, not giving up on the conjecture that the attacker was Colonel Johnson. As a former Navy SEAL, Colonel Johnson has excellent explosives skills, and it will not be difficult to get Oktokin.
"Impossible... There's no way Winston could have done that, and if he could have punched through the concrete, he'd have punched me to death in New York City. ”
Colonel Johnson is stronger than Bob. Eagle is strong, but the gap between the two has not yet reached the point of qualitative change.
Even if this sturdy manhole cover has been blown out of a deep crater and wants to punch it through, for Bob. Eagle is still an impossibility.
"Looks like a new lizardman has appeared."
Natasha's face was slightly gloomy, these new humans made from lizard serum were more troublesome than mutants. At least a significant number of mutants still identify with humanity. Like Bob. Only a handful of Iger's evil personalities have been eliminated in this way, and the vast majority of lizardmen have only pure malice towards humans.
The manufacturing technology of the lizard serum must be destroyed to prevent the reappearance of new lizardmen.
She informed Headquarters of the situation. Have HQ mobilize agents to monitor all members of all cross-species gene transplant programs, and issue a wanted warrant for Dr. Rada to be wanted nationwide.
S.H.I.E.L.D. is still most concerned about Professor Connors, the inventor of the lizard serum, who mysteriously disappeared after revealing on television that the Osborne syndicate experimented with veterans as test subjects.
"I want to ask, what exactly is the motive of the lizardmen to seize this nuclear warhead?"
Peter. Parker asked, raising his hand.
"Who knows what he wants to do, maybe he wants to threaten the U.S. government to help them build a kingdom that belongs to the lizardmen. The probability of a nuclear warhead being detonated is only 0.1, because multiple high-energy explosives inside the nuclear bomb must explode at the same time in order for the warhead to reach a critical state and a chain reaction occur. It is not possible to detonate the fuse without going through the firing procedure. ”
Agent Sitwell said.
"Even if there is only a probability of 0.00001, we have to make it zero, and the probability is not so low, if we have weapons-grade uranium, with the technology of the Osborne Group, it is not impossible to build a nuclear bomb."
Natasha was very dissatisfied with Agent Sitwell's mentality, and said solemnly.
"If they're here to build a kingdom of lizardmen, then why didn't they threaten the U.S. government or the United Nations?" Peter. "They've taken away the warheads, and there's the best chance to make their claims," Parker said. ”
"How did you come up with this?"
Agent Sitwell looked at Peter in surprise. Parker.
"Isn't that how true lies are played, so I feel a little strange why the lizardman who took the nuclear warhead still hasn't shown up."
Peter. Parker scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Although it is a movie plot, it is also the first time that we have encountered a nuclear warhead hijacking. It's very strange that the lizardmen haven't shown up yet. They took away a nuclear warhead, and the difficulty of detonating it was too high, and it was better to threaten the U.S. government directly. ”
They can simply threaten to pollute the Great Lakes with radioactive sources to force the president to accede to any demand.
After all, this is an election year.
"What the hell do the lizardmen want to do, although the 475,000-ton nuclear warhead is huge, it is impossible to destroy all of humanity. It will only anger humanity and exterminate them completely, and there is no possibility of compromise. ”
Humans are one of the most tenacious beings on Earth, and Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not become a no-man's land because of those two nuclear bombs. Today, Hiroshima has a total of 1.2 million inhabitants and has become a popular tourist destination for tourists from the East.
Judging from the current performance of the lizardmen, after completely fusing the lizardmen's genes, the lizardmen have intelligence that is not inferior to humans. Although they are full of hatred for humans, they will not go to the point of wanting to die with humans.
"Maybe he just wants the radioactive material inside the nuclear warhead."
Natasha said.
