Chapter 187: A Space Gem at Your Fingertips
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Science and Technology Department, Equipment and Weapons Research and Development Center.
"What a charming little thing!"
"I heard that the Red Skull Legion used this thing to develop an energy weapon, if it wasn't for Captain America stepping forward, the outcome of World War II might have been rewritten."
Wang Tian stood in the weapon research and development center, looking at the cosmic cube protected by a spherical energy shield in the middle.
"I thought the first thing you did after taking office was to rescue the kidnapped Tony Stark, but I didn't expect to come here to visit, is this considered dereliction of duty?"
Standing next to Wang Tian was the head of security at the Weapons R&D Center, the leader of the Hawkeye squad and the eighth-level agent Hawkeye.
Hearing Hawkeye's words, Wang Tian smiled noncommittally and replied, "I heard that there is a secret scientific research center in S.H.I.E.L.D., and the weapons here are twenty years more advanced than those on the market, but I didn't believe it before. ”
After speaking, Wang Tian looked at the energy gun in the hands of the Eagle Eye team, and said happily: "Now I believe it, the mainstream firearms and equipment in the outside world are still bullets, and you will use the energy gun, leading by twenty years, I think it will be more than thirty years." ”
"It's not surprising that as early as the end of World War II, the Red Skull Legion began to be equipped with energy weapons in large numbers."
"Energy guns, energy cannons, energy planes, energy tanks, it is said that even spaceships are available, anyway, it's 2008, sixty years after World War II, if we are not even as good as the Red Skull Legion during World War II, those weapon designers can go home and shovel the ground."
The Marvel world is not a normal world, Edward Stark, as early as the end of World War II, invented the hovering car and applied anti-gravity technology to the military field.
Although in terms of people's livelihood, it seems that the technological level of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is similar to that of the real world.
But in secret, S.H.I.E.L.D. can even build spaceships, and all kinds of energy weapons are comparable to the world of the men in black, which is not at all the level of science and technology that humans should have in the 21st century.
"Since our weapons are so advanced, why not use them to arm our employees?"
Wang Tian spread his hands and said: "S.H.I.E.L.D. has more than 30,000 members of the Science Department, the Intelligence Department, the Logistics Department, and the Operations Department, and the members of the four departments add up to more than 30,000 people. ”
Of course, it is impossible for MP5 to not even shoot through the toilet door, Wang Tian said this just to complain that the Ministry of Science and Technology has energy weapons but does not give them to use, only let them use garbage.
"Peace is not easy to come by, S.H.I.E.L.D. is S.H.I.E.L.D., countries are countries, we are only responsible to the World Security Council, and if we really want to disclose our advanced weapons, it will definitely set off an arms race all over the world, which the Ministry of Science does not want to see."
"Of course, we don't make it public, but we can secretly produce some in case we need it."
"When there is such a need, our science department has the ability to let the brothers in the action department complete the change of clothes within 24 hours, but it is not necessary for the time being."
Hawkeye's qualifications are very old, and he has a special position in S.H.I.E.L.D., as he has always been the equivalent of a security captain, and is deeply trusted by Nick Fury.
In Thor 1, he is the one who guards Thor's hammer.
In the Avengers, he is also the one who guards the Rubik's Cube of the universe.
Listing the five most trusted subordinates of the one-eyed dragon, Hawkeye can definitely rank in the top three, a bit like Xu Chu and Dian Wei beside Cao Cao.
"Take a good look at it, I have a hunch that this thing will be of great use in the future."
Wang Tianle left.
He came here this time to confirm that the space gem known as the Cosmic Cube was not in the hands of the Ministry of Science.
As long as it's there, Wang Tian at this stage has no intention of taking it away.
He'll take the Space Gem, but not now.
At this stage, it is better to put this thing in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D. in order to fit the plot.
Rashly take it, Wang Tian doesn't dare to guarantee whether Avengers 1 will be carried out smoothly, you must know that in Avengers 1, Thanos gave Loki the Mind Gem and let him bring the gem to Earth in order to unite with the Zetarian fleet and seize the space gem.
Take the space gem now, in case Thanos doesn't give Loki the mind gem, Wang Tianke will regret it.
In Wang Tian's plan, he must get at least three gems at a time, or even more than three gems, in order to have the strength to touch Thanos in a gemless state.
Avengers 1, which takes place in 2012, is a time period in which the three jewels of space, time, and mind are on Earth.
Wang Tian concluded that he had three chances to get the gem, and this was one of them, and the success was so high that he didn't even need to do anything, as long as he followed the plot, the three gems could fall into his hands after Loki was defeated.
Well, the Time Stone in the Supreme Mage's hand may require a little skill to get your hands on.
Of course, Wang Tian was confident that he would convince the bald mage, because he would give the other party a reason that he couldn't refuse.
"Sir, my colleagues in the Intelligence Department have sent a message that Tony Stark may have been taken away by a group of terrorists who call themselves the Ten Rings."
Wang Tian boarded the helicopter and soon heard a report from his assistant, Grant Ward.
"Is there any specific information, such as where they are being held?"
Wang Tian asked without raising his head.
"No, the intelligence services can only preliminarily determine who Tony was kidnapped, and cannot determine his specific location, which still needs to be found."
Grant is a member of the Operations Department who has followed Wang Tian for a long time, and is currently a Level 7 agent, acting as Wang Tian's deputy on the one hand, and serving as the deputy commander in the Operations Department on the other hand.
On the surface, he is a loyal, hard-working S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
In fact, Grant belongs to the New York branch of Hydra, and like Wang Tian, he is one of the nails that Hydra drove into the interior of S.H.I.E.L.D.
As soon as the two sides met, Wang Tian recognized Durant's identity, but the funny thing was that Pierce was silent about it and had no intention of showdown with him at all.
It can be seen that although he is the representative of the Young Zhuang faction promoted by Pierce, the fake director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the real Hydra veteran, Pierce only treats him as a useful tool and has no intention of passing on the throne to him.
Grant's existence is the secret hand of the Hydra Senate, buried beside him.
In the future, if he is restless, contrary to the opinion of the Hydra Senate, and uncontrolled, Wang Tian believes that Grant will not hesitate to stand up and shoot him with one shot.
It's like Wei Yan who shouted who can cut me, and then was cut off by Ma Dai with a knife.
"Grant, how long have you been with me?"
Wang Tian asked casually.
"It's been five years, and when you were just transferred back to the headquarters from the California branch as deputy chief, I was the team leader under you."
Grant replied with a smile.
Wang Tian nodded and said, "It's not short, come back to my office, I have important people to hand over to you." ”
"Huh?"
Grant was a little blindsided.
Wang Tian replied: "Don't worry, this task will make you feel honored. ”
