Chapter 108: The Big News of the Century

The so-called Pegasus Project is the lightspeed engine development project that the United States is engaged in in in the movie Captain Marvel.

Developed by Kree scientist Mar Weir, who disguised herself as an earthling, its energy source is the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.

In other words, the Pegasus program is a plan to develop a cosmic Rubik's Cube, and with the technology of the United States at that time, a real space shuttle has been created, which can fly directly out of the atmosphere and fly in the earth's low-earth orbit.

Now that decades have passed, Nick Fury has restarted the Pegasus project, naturally to continue to develop the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.

Of course, his development of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is not to develop aerospace technology, but to weaponize, with the help of the energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, to create a more powerful and destructive superweapon, exactly like what the Red Skull did at the beginning.

Originally, this plan S.H.I.E.L.D. has been carried out for a long time, but due to restrictions in all aspects, the investment is not large, so there is no progress, and now Nick Fury, who is constantly stimulated, has decided to ignore those restrictions and invest a lot of manpower and material resources in the New Pegasus plan, and must make achievements!

On the other hand, with Gideon's father and daughter both committing suicide, their hydra can be regarded as coming to an end.

Chicago's recovery has created a series of chain reactions.

The first is that research on Native Inhumans has been halted, all data has been sealed, and no one or institution is allowed to do any further research.

At the same time, all S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists engaged in this research were taken away to investigate to see if they had any connection to the Malik family.

In order not to expose himself, Pierce really launched a few scapegoats, so that S.H.I.E.L.D. was even more passive.

Sure enough, soon the punishment came down, and under pressure from the United States, the World Security Council had to remove Director Nick Fury from his post and replace him with Maria Hill.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that such a personnel transfer is simply a change of soup and not a change of medicine, and Hill is completely Nick Fury's puppet, and it is estimated that Nick Fury has the final say in the affairs of S.H.I.E.L.D.

And this is exactly the case, after Nick Fury was dismissed, he still stayed in the Trident headquarters, and he didn't even change his office, the only difference is that the sign of the director's office was replaced by the deputy director......

Of course, the American side is not so easy to fool, in addition to Nick Fury's dismissal, S.H.I.E.L.D. has also paid a lot of price.

For example, some core technologies, some important information, and so on...... In short, after a PY transaction, S.H.I.E.L.D. developed the original Inhuman, which triggered the Chicago War, which was turned into a big thing and a small thing.

The whole process, without listening to the opinions of the American people, and without voting, the so-called democracy is a fart in this matter.

There are punishments and rewards, and General Thaddeus Ross has successfully turned over, and through the recovery of Chicago, he not only atonements for his crimes, but also promoted his officials, and is even expected to be nominated as a new secretary of state.

From here, you can see how much pressure Ellis is on the president's election.

Obviously, Ross has been making mistakes before, and the losses caused are no less than the Chicago battle this time, but because he has recovered Chicago and is booming, in order to win votes, Ellis really dares to promote anyone.

Of course, if you want to say that the person who benefits the most, it is undoubtedly Wang Khan.

The whole thing was driven by Wang Khan from beginning to end, although the biggest reason for this was Gideon Malik's own death, and the fact that the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. was infiltrated by Hydra.

But there is no doubt that without Wang Khan's encouragement, the whole thing would not have developed to this point.

Without Wang Khan, such a thing may have happened, but I'm afraid it would have been delayed for a few years, and according to the original book, it should have happened after the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. However, at that time, it was still the pot of S.H.I.E.L.D., so it seems that there is not much difference.

All in all, after Wang Khan's operation, Chicago was disabled, S.H.I.E.L.D. was heavily fined, and the U.S. military suffered heavy losses, while his umbrella company received a super large order of 100 billion yuan.

To this end, Wang Khan cooperated with five downstream manufacturers and sent professional engineers to help them build the production line of Martian suits, making great contributions to the retirement of tanks, the most powerful weapon in land warfare.

And on the Forbes rich list, Wang Khan also officially surpassed Tony Stark and became the richest man in the world of a new generation!

Since the entire umbrella company belongs to Wang Khan alone, his total personal assets, which are the total assets of the umbrella, are directly as high as 320 billion US dollars, more than double the second place, and he is the undisputed richest man in the world!

At this point, it is still in the case that the umbrella is not listed, and now the outside world generally believes that once the umbrella is listed, Wang Khan's personal assets may expand several times, and by that time, his assets alone may be able to top the top ten.

In today's era when capital is king, money is the master, let alone in a capitalist country like the United States.

For a time, Wang Khan became the object of worship of many old Americans.

In particular, he went from a small experimental assistant to a 100 billion big boss in just four years.

Such a terrifying speed of making money definitely killed everyone on the leaderboard, and Tony Stark was much inferior to Wang Khan.

After all, strictly speaking, Tony is a rich second generation, and his son inherited his father's business, and he has not experienced the arduous process of capital accumulation at all.

Although Tony himself is also capable, he is judged by a high level compared to Wang Khan, who has nothing and is purely self-made.

Just when Wang Khan was in the limelight for a while, the umbrella exposed another century of news.

"From now on, the umbrella company will officially start the space elevator program, and it is expected to build the world's first space elevator in five years, completely changing the history of human aviation! To this end, our umbrella will take out 100 billion US dollars to invest in this project. ”

Gwen, dressed in a fancy ladies' suit, stood in the hall under the umbrella and announced the news in front of hundreds of reporters.

For a time, the media all over the world were shocked, and even the aerospace science and technology giants of various countries, well-known professors and experts in astronautics, have voiced their voices in response to the news of the umbrella.

Most of these voices are skeptical, but a few are expectant.

And NASA, also known as NASA, sent its own experts to Umbrella to participate in the project.

In the end, even President Ellis got involved in the discussion.

"Five years? Can it be shortened by one year, I want to take such an elevator during my tenure. ”
