Chapter 43: The bottleneck of Cosmic Cube research, the confrontation between Wakanda and the United States

Arkansas Air Force Base, formerly the Tianma Project Research Institute, where the research of the Cosmic Cube is also a traditional project.

Dr. Banner and Tony are discussing.

The reason why he dared to use Dr. Banner was because he had been stable in recent months, and because the research on the Cosmic Cube had reached a bottleneck.

As early as World War II, the red skull of Hydra has used the cosmic cube to develop a very powerful energy weapon, after nearly a hundred years of scientific and technological development, today's technology is completely two worlds compared with the past.

But even so, S.H.I.E.L.D. gathered a large number of scientists to develop weapons that were no different from those developed by Hydra during World War II.

This puzzled S.H.I.E.L.D., so it recruited Tony and Dr. Banner, but with the help of two top geniuses, there was still no qualitative breakthrough in energy weapons.

"There's no point in continuing to study like this, Tony, what we're studying is just the energy it emits, if there's no way to get inside this Rubik's Cube, everything is just a change of soup and no medicine, at most it's to increase the total amount of energy that the weapon can contain."

"I also found out, but at the moment, we don't have a way to break this Rubik's Cube, and we are not sure about the consequences of breaking this Rubik's Cube, and we don't even know if the energy inside the Rubik's Cube is the same as the energy outside."

"Why not try to stimulate it?"

"Stimulation? You mean nuclear fission reactions? ”

"Yes, according to the captain's last information, this Rubik's Cube may be the key to the universe, maybe nuclear energy can open it."

"But it's not safe, the Rubik's Cube is powerful enough to destroy the earth."

"Turning it on completely certainly has the potential to destroy the planet, but what if we stimulate it little by little? It only takes him to leak a little bit of energy, and we can know how the energy inside the Rubik's Cube is different from the energy outside. ”

"You make a lot of sense, but I still don't feel safe, Banner, when did you become so aggressive? Usually you put safety in mind. ”

"The problem is, we don't want to do anything if we continue to do this, I just don't want us to do useless work, and besides, I'm just suggesting, not deciding. And I feel that we have simply gone astray, if the Cosmic Cube is a controlled nuclear fusion device, then our current research is only studying nuclear radiation, don't you think it's ridiculous? ”

"Do you think so many scientists here are eating dry food? If you don't see through it, who will be responsible if something goes wrong? Not to mention the fact that it is now about the destruction of the world! ”

"Maybe that's what Fury sent us for?"

"Who knows? Opening the Rubik's Cube could have disastrous consequences, and Fury had to make that decision. ”

It's impossible for Nick Fury to do anything about such an important matter, he has a top boss, and there is a World Safety Council above.

In the afternoon of the same day, a meeting of the World Security Committee was convened.

Wakanda representative: "With all due respect, in the field of security, all the countries here are no match for us, we have the strongest defense system in the world, if the Cosmic Cube is studied in Wakanda, we will set up a separate research institute for it, all made of vibranium, and there can also be a protective shield system outside, 3 layers and 5 layers can be used, which is enough to ensure the safety of the earth." ”

The representative of the United States: "The history of the United States studying the Rubik's Cube in the universe for almost 70 years, there has never been a problem in terms of security, we have a lot of experience, and the alien threat is a time bomb, we have to race against time, and it would be a waste of time to ask Wakanda to rebuild a research institute." ”

Wakanda representative: "This gentleman is secretly changing concepts, the research work of the universe and the Rubik's Cube has always been the responsibility of S.H.I.E.L.D., which does not belong to the United States, so the United States has no experience in studying the Rubik's Cube of the universe, not to mention that it is now to activate the Rubik's Cube, and the previous experience has no meaning, otherwise why would today's meeting be held?" ”

Representative of the United States: "It is true that S.H.I.E.L.D. is not an agency affiliated with the United States, but the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., Mr. Howard Stark, Mr. Pymhangk, and Ms. Peggy Carter are all Americans!" Why don't you ask them to come and ask? ”

Wakanda representative: "Do you want to go your own way with no regard for the survival of the planet?" ”

The representative of the United States: "There has been no problem in studying the Rubik's Cube in the United States for the past 70 years, and there will be no problem in the future. During World War II, it was Mr. Steve Rogers who fought with his life to find the Rubik's Cube, which was then salvaged by Mr. Howard Stark. Strictly speaking, the Cosmic Cube is a trophy of the United States! What was Wakanda doing at that time? With advanced technology, you could have easily ended the war and smashed ***, but you chose to watch the fire from the other side. For the whole world, the entire human race has not contributed a little, but now it wants to jump out and grab the results! There are no doors! ”

Wakanda representative: "Wakanda's openness has promoted the ...... of global scientific and technological development"

The representative of the United States: "What is the significance of scientific and technological development?" Isn't it for the benefit of all mankind? Now you go to various countries and look at it, how many people are unemployed? How many people have committed suicide? How many countries have collapsed their economies? The whole society is in turmoil, and the world situation is tense, all of which are caused by you! ”

The issue of the security research base of the Rubik's Cube eventually turned into a political showdown between the two superpowers, and as for the real security issue, not many people cared about it.

In the research materials submitted by Nick Fury, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner and other scientific experts have given risk assessments, saying that according to the current level of science and technology, the probability of danger is theoretically low.

The end result was a mutual compromise, with the Cosmic Cube still being studied in the United States, and Wakanda being responsible for building a defensive shield system at the Institute; The money for the defensive shield will be shared by the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s donors, and it is expected that the research will last for half a year, and after the expiration date, Wakanda will take back the defensive shield system, and the funds will not be returned.

The representative of the United States strongly protested against this practice of "blocking roads and robbing" and crossing rivers and demolishing bridges. Wakanda will send scientists to help study the Rubik's Cube.

The meeting lasted late into the night, and it is unknown how many shady deals there were behind it.

Since it was a video conference, it is unknown how many people attended the meeting, and behind every person who appeared on the camera, there may be a whole think tank making suggestions.
