Chapter 205: The Empress Mao Sui's Self-Recommendation
After Coulson left, Fury remained at the barbecue restaurant.
Originally, he came today to learn other things from Coulson, such as the handling plan of the Cosmic Cube and Loki's Scepter.
But as a result, I got very bad news.
Empress Semiramis.
Fury wasn't entirely unaware of his hole cards against the Chaldeans, such as the reclusive Captain Marvel.
But if it does get to that point, the destruction of the world is undoubtedly devastating.
More importantly, with his current position in front of the World Security Council, he is far less than before, and the temptation of the Chaldean territory is imperative, and there is no possibility of change at all.
By the day after the "secret meeting," Coulson realized that he had overestimated the abilities of his old boss.
Because the first temptation has come.
Huaxia's official press conference publicly signaled that Chaldea hopes to cooperate in the development of a virtual reality world that is still a little monotonous and quickly enrich it, creating a real second world, so as to promote the new era planning of major directions such as technology research and development, medical simulation, and education improvement.
After the news was published in China, all countries started at the same time.
In general, it is the experts who imagine the positive impact of the virtual reality world on human civilization, and these effects are all in cooperation with countries.
This is clearly a general battle for control of virtual reality.
And it is also the "homeland" of Shenhe, Huaxia to take the lead.
"It's hard to refuse......"
After Shen He learned the news, he also felt a headache.
As the victorious country in World War II, Huaxia in this Marvel Cinematic Universe universe is also one of the interest groups represented by the World Security Council.
It's just that the status has always been on the margins, and it is obvious that the appearance of Shen He can be regarded as an opportunity for them.
"The suggestions they put forward are indeed beneficial to the development of human civilization as a whole." Coulson stood in front of Shen He, "Sir, the potential of the virtual reality world is huge, and the three aspects of technology, medical care, and education alone can play an epoch-making effect, and it may be difficult for us to give full play to the true potential of the virtual reality world by ourselves." β
"You mean to say......" Shen He frowned, "agree with what they said about cooperation?" β
If it's really just cooperation, Shen He doesn't actually have much opinion.
But even he knows the essence of this matter, once he opens his mouth and allows all countries in the world to participate, the future virtual reality world is likely to have nothing to do with Chaldeans.
If Sky Garden wants to develop, the virtual reality world, the largest treasure trove in history, obviously cannot be lost, after all, how much money can be made just by selling equipment.
But as Coulson said, the World Security Council, which itself has the advantage of controlling public opinion, is still on the side that is reasonable, and even many people who have placed orders to buy the first batch of virtual sleep pod reality products have left messages on the official website of the virtual reality company, hoping to see a more colorful virtual reality company as soon as possible.
After all, buying a set of virtual sleeping pods for the price of a car, but only playing a relatively monotonous "war weapon playing game" is too boring.
"How long would it take if we developed a virtual reality outline ourselves?" Shen He asked, "This shouldn't be difficult, many fantasy works already have similar settings, and if the establishment of the data model is handed over to Jarvis, it should be able to be done in a short time." β
With Jarvis as the intelligent mastermind of a virtual reality company, it should not be difficult to design a virtual reality world with basic functions in a short period of time.
Building a virtual reality company is like building a city.
As long as the criteria are specified first, the outline is established, and the highest authority is mastered, those who enter later can only add bricks and tiles to the outline.
"Sir." Coulson said softly, "If everything in the virtual reality world is controlled by virtual reality companies, it is easy to violate antitrust laws." β
"......" Shen He was speechless.
If you don't monopolize, how can you make a lot of money.
But it is a contradiction to want profit and fame.
"Let me think about it first." In the end, Shen He couldn't think of any way.
He now understands what it means to have a chaotic desire, if it was before, cooperation would have been cooperation, anyway, the money earned from selling equipment alone was already an astronomical amount, but now, the Sky Garden was tempting Shen He's heart, and he was even eager to build a second god domain, even beyond Asgard.
Coulson naturally noticed such a change.
Since the construction of the virtual reality company, Shen He has never cared about how much money he makes, and has always been indifferent to Tony.
Even in the intelligence department, Shen He never cared about how far it was going to go, and rarely really paid attention to it.
And now such a change, is it really brought about by Semiramis......
"That's right, Coulson." Putting aside the annoying things first, Shen He cheered up and asked about one thing he was concerned about, "I asked you to collect the materials, how did you collect them, with the current capabilities of the virtual reality company, it should be very fast to collect those things." β
"It's been collected." Coulson replied, "It'll all be shipped to the company about tomorrow, but sir, what's the use of those antiques?" β
What Shen He asked him to collect, in addition to a large number of very common building materials, was basically some antiques, and they were all worthless antiques.
For example, the bricks in some ruins.
Soil in some places as well as groundwater.
It looks like a religious ceremony is going to be held at a glance.
"You'll find out in a few days."
Shen He still said this sentence, and a mysterious smile.
"Hope is a surprise." Coulson smiled similarly.
It's just that there is a hint of bitterness in the depths of his smile, and this time is not easy for him.
Just as Coulson was about to turn around and leave the office, Shen He suddenly stopped him.
"I almost forgot, Coulson, Semiramis wants to know more about the situation in this world, so I can only ask you to introduce her, if there is anything wrong with her personality, please bear with me, after all, she was an empress in the past, and sometimes I am also helpless."
β...... No problem, sir. Coulson's smile grew even more bitter.
If there is any situation that can only be introduced by him, the head of the secret service, it can only be the various forms of power in this world.
The last time they met, Semiramis had never hidden her keen interest in the world, which the rest of the people did not have.
After Coulson left, Shen He thought about the solution to the virtual reality world alone.
It is necessary to ensure not only the interests of the Chaldees, but also the interests and development of all mankind.
However, when the Sky Garden lifts off, there will undoubtedly be a new change in the status of the Chaldeans, not to mention, Shen He really has a flash of inspiration, and if he arranges it well, he may be able to achieve his goal.
There's always a feeling that things are getting more and more.
Shen He thought about Jiang Lihua, the son of heaven who had been sent to the castle, sighed, and started work with the idea of getting off work early and going back.
He had to perfect the plan in his mind alone, and now he was a little desperate for Semiramis and Lelouch to help him as soon as possible.
Time flies by as you work.
When it was time to get off work, it was very abrupt that Shen He received an emergency communication from Coulson.
"Ten minutes ago, Black Bolt and his party were raided while visiting Los Angeles, and they fought directly on the street, causing a lot of damage."
β...... Jarvis, pull the video out. Shen He immediately stopped what he was doing and asked Jarvis to pull up the video on the Internet.
The video shows Black Bolt King's cousin, Gorgong, the captain of the Attiran royal guard, breaking through the wall directly from the upper floor of a hotel, shattering the road with his mutated hooves, and then chasing in one direction, causing chaos, and even the sound of gunfire can be heard from the hotel.
This reckless man.
Shen He didn't know what to say anymore.
Golgong's personality is already very reckless, and the Black Bolt King often can't stop him in time.
"Did you catch the raider? Who are they? Shen He asked.
Even if he hadn't paid much attention to the diplomatic development of the Inhumans at this time, he knew that the life of the Inhumans on Earth was not very easy, and the exclusivity of humans was sometimes beyond imagination.
Now that such a thing has happened again, it is undoubtedly unfavorable to Attilan in terms of public opinion.
Even in the short space of a few minutes, the video is filled with words like "horrible," "scary," and "monster."
"Didn't catch it, but according to our agent report, the other party is a professional and knows their methods very well, suspecting that it was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in the past." Coulson took responsibility first, "It was my dereliction of duty. β
"You don't have to apologize, Coulson." Shen He sighed, "You're busy enough...... Is it possible that the remnants of Hydra? In the S.H.I.E.L.D. war, most of the agents who went missing were Hydra agents. β
I can't help Shen He not think so, if it is the combat style of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, the probability of being a Hydra is very high.
"I'm not sure." Coulson shook his head, "But Hydra has been very honest for a short period of time, and it can be said that it has entered a complete incubation period. β
"Is that so......" Shen He thought for a while, "If the other party is an agent, then send Natasha over, it will be Natasha's opponent's agent, there should be no agent." β
Black Widow is undoubtedly the pinnacle of being an agent.
After all, he is a member of the Avengers, even the famous Iron Knight, he can only be regarded as a junior in front of Black Widow.
"Good ......"
βmasterγβ Just as Coulson agreed, Semiramis's voice suddenly came from the other end of the communication, "It's better to let Lone go with you to have a look, Lone is very interested." β
"Semiramis?" Shen He was stunned for a moment, looking at the empress who suddenly appeared behind Coulson in the video communication, "Are you still over there?" β
"Because Lone has a lot of things to ask." Semiramis stretched lazily, his perfect figure at a glance, "And this kind of thing, Chaldea also sent a representative over, it would be better to intervene, if you just let the agent intervene, it will be easy to fall into the mouth." β
"Coulson, what do you think?" Shen He shifted his gaze to Coulson, who hesitated.
Although Semiramis is right, the current Chaldea is indeed qualified to intervene in matters related to the Inhumans in the light of the Lord, after all, they are nominally the greatest allies of the Inhumans and have a close relationship with Attilan in the eyes of the world.
But when the empress came to represent Chaldea, he always had a sense of fear.
Who knows what the empress will do.
"I think ......," Coulson paused slightly, as if hesitating, but finally said, "we can indeed send a 'Chaldean' to participate." β
"Even you said that......" Shen He hesitated for a moment, nodded in agreement, but then his face turned grim, "Semiramis, you are just beginning to understand the situation in this world now, don't mess around with your own character, follow Coulson's arrangement as much as possible, otherwise, I will definitely punish you." β
Shen He's tone and expression when he said this were very serious.
He's definitely not just talking.
After all, he still doesn't know much about the empress's abilities, and in the plot, the Amakusa Shiro she supports is the one who loses in the end after all.
"Lone knows." Somewhat unexpectedly, Semiramis also put away his lazy face and responded seriously, "Lone is not a scheming person. β
"I'm just reminding you." Shen He was a little relieved.
He didn't have any other servants suitable for dispatching, so he could only trust the empress.
After hanging up the call, Semiramis looked at Coulson in front of him, slightly raising the corners of his eyes, and his expression revealed a trace of unhappiness.
"βYou, are you planning to have the master send the rest of the servants? Don't you think Lone is such a foolish person? β
Just now, Coulson just said that he would send a Chaldean member, but he didn't say who to send, but it was a pity that Shen He didn't hear the words of this sentence.
"Your Majesty, I didn't mean that." Coulson smiled wryly.
It's just that his signature smile doesn't do anything for Semiramis, it makes the corners of her eyes hang higher.
"Going against Lone won't do you the slightest." The empress's beautiful face revealed a full sense of danger, "When Gu first ascended the throne, just because Gu was a woman, there were many opponents, but the opponents finally surrendered to Gu, do you know why?" β
Without waiting for Coulson to reply, the empress waved her hand and continued.
"Because Lone has created a great feat that a man can't do!"
β......β
Coulson, who is usually able to speak at any time, can only be silent at the moment, and then continue to smile bitterly.
He was already trying to control himself.
But the other party still saw the resistance in his heart.
It's just that the reason for his resistance has nothing to do with "great achievements".
