Chapter 171: Pursuit
The Avengers' plan is to gather a group of guys with superpowers to work to protect the safety of the planet.
Nick knows that in the universe, their earth is too weak, and they must unite, otherwise they will not have the slightest ability to resist when aliens invade.
On Tony's side, although he didn't know there were aliens, as a very far-sighted guy, he and Nick had the same ideas.
So he's still very interested in joining the program or something.
However, he was dying of palladium poisoning before, and his performance was very poor, and Black Widow gave him an evaluation that he did not recommend him to join the Avengers, but recommended him to join as Iron Man.
So all in all, it's not recommended to join this program, because Tony is uncontrollable and can't work for S.H.I.E.L.D. with peace of mind.
"This doesn't make sense, how can you accept one me and not another?" Tony's brow furrowed slightly, a little confused by the assessment report.
Nick sighed, stared at Tony with his one eye, and said, "Tony, based on your recent performance, for now, we think you can only serve as an advisor. ”
"EMMM," Tony got up and shook Nick's hand, "I'm sorry, you can't afford me." ”
Tony's worth is too high, and although S.H.I.E.L.D. is a national power and extremely large, the funds are not enough, and if you ask Tony, it is still not enough.
With that, Tony turned around and walked outside, since he couldn't talk, he didn't have to stay here for long.
But after he had taken a few steps, he suddenly stopped.
Tony turned around and said, "By the way, do you know of a man named Starlight?" If you can help me find him, I think this consultant fee can be discussed. ”
"Starlight?" Nick's brow furrowed, then he shook his head, "I haven't heard of it." ”
"You're talking about Starlight?" Nick asked.
"An organization? Or a person? Anyway, the hacker skills are very superb, I estimate that I can directly hack into your S.H.I.E.L.D. network, and he did what Ivan Vanko was arrested today. Tony said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Nick's face was solemn.
Ivan won't talk about it, if their high-level S.H.I.E.L.D. agents come out, they can handle it.
Mainly in the previous sentence, Tony thinks that he has the ability to hack into their S.H.I.E.L.D. network, Tony can give this kind of evaluation, how terrifying is this starlight?
You know, their S.H.I.E.L.D. cybersecurity team is top-notch, and if you want to hack from outside the network, it's almost impossible.
At the end of Iron Man One, Nick appeared directly at Tony's house, and Jarvis was hacked by their S.H.I.E.L.D. at that time.
and in Avengers I, the aircraft carrier, if Hawkeye hadn't hacked into the computer in the operation room through hardware, it would not have been able to invade from the outside.
With such a strong defense system, Tony actually said that this starlight should be able to break through, which Nick can't afford not to pay attention to.
He immediately said, "Wait, I'll have someone look it up." ”
As he spoke, Nick immediately made a call from the headquarters and asked the intelligence officers there to inquire about this person named Starlight.
"Tell me more about it, who is this starlight?" Nick looked at Tony, his face a little solemn.
The latter did not leave, sat back in his chair, and talked about the previous transaction of Liu Bai.
For Liu Bai, Tony is really powerless, if he doesn't use external forces, he doesn't even know who this guy is.
However, five minutes later, a message came back from S.H.I.E.L.D. side.
There are more than 5,000 people in the world, including more than 200 in New York and more than 20 in Queens.
Among these more than 20 people, there is not a single object of suspicion, all of them are just ordinary screen names, and their identities are all ordinary people.
On the contrary, there is a man named Starlight in Texas, who is a hacker who once hacked the Pentagon.
Glancing at the photo, Tony shook his head, "It doesn't feel like it's him." ”
There is no definite evidence, but Tony recalled the tone and state of Liu Bai's speech during the transaction, no matter how you imagined it, he was a very powerful existence.
And this hacker is a middle-aged man who looks very obscene, and the gap between him and Tony's imagination is too big, and he doesn't want to believe it.
"I've called someone to arrest him, and even if he doesn't, he's guilty of a crime that is enough for him to go to jail." Nick said.
The so-called Skynet is magnificent but not leaky, as long as you do something criminal, you will always be found out. Sometimes they don't get caught, it's just that they don't scrutinize.
"Are there any other suspects?" Tony didn't care about this hacker, he didn't realize that this guy was.
"There is another one, but they are all abroad, and there is no way to catch them in a short time." "There's also a hacker group called Starlight, but they only teach and don't have any problems. ”
Tony sighed, "Starlight may not be the other party's pseudonym, and the real identity is difficult to find!" ”
"I've already sent you the recording of the previous one with Starlight, try to find it as soon as possible." With that, Tony left.
He eventually became an advisor to S.H.I.E.L.D., but only as an acting advisor for two years.
The main reason for holding this position is that Nick brought him some relics of his father, and then let him find a new element from the middle, which is a great favor, and secondly, because of this starlight thing.
During these two years, S.H.I.E.L.D. had to help him find the Starlight, and if he couldn't, he would no longer be an advisor.
The consultant's job is very light, at most he gives advice and, if necessary, some technical assistance.
Of course, his status as Iron Man must continue to be maintained, and if something dangerous happens, he will have to do it.
Other than that, he would remain free without the slightest restrictions, which was not much different from Tony's previous life.
After Tony left, Nick immediately set the matter of tracking down Starlight to level 6 clearance, and the priority was very high, and the world pursued him.
After all, Tony said that he might have hacked into their S.H.I.E.L.D. network, and Nick sensed the danger.
And just when S.H.I.E.L.D. was moving because of Liu Bai, there was an uninhabited island seven hundred kilometers west of San Francisco.
Liu Bai is optimizing the equipment in his portable base.
The artificial yield of Pym particles is not high, and Liu Bai needs to expand and optimize the instrument, so that the production will be fast and more in the future.
The more Liu Bai studied these instruments and principles, the more he felt that this Hank was a genius.
It was amazing that he was able to invent such a technique when he was young.
It's just like a real-world cheat!
