Chapter 307: Cosmic Cube and Kenshin
It has to be said that the timing of Pierce's insight plan is quite good, due to the invasion of General Zod, countries around the world are now very sensitive to security issues.
If it were a normal time, such a plan that would cost a huge amount of money would probably take Pierce lobbying for a long time. But now this trouble is saved, and Pierce specifically noted an important point in the plan, that is, there is still room for transformation of the space carrier. As long as the technology is mature, these three space carriers can be upgraded to interstellar warships that can fight extraterrestrial invaders outside the atmosphere and keep them off Earth.
Maybe this renovation plan is nonsense with the existing technology, but I have to say that the pie painted by Pierce is quite good, and even the shrewd one-eyed director is impressed without looking at it. Of course, a large part of the reason why the One-Eyed Director is excited is that S.H.I.E.L.D. can borrow these three helicarriers that will never land to strengthen their position and fulfill their ambitions.
In fact, in some ways, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra are really no different, they both like to impose their will on others. The only possible difference is that S.H.I.E.L.D. is dressed in a cloak of justice, while Hydra is shirtless.
"Looks good," Director One-Eyed put together the draft Insight Plan document and handed it to Hill next to him, pinched it and continued, "But I'm afraid it's quite expensive, and it's not so easy to pass it in the Security Council." ”
"But it keeps the people safe," Pierce said, shrugging his shoulders, "we can't wait for criminals to commit crimes, the people need us to nip the bad guys in the bud." ”
"Okay," the One-Eyed Director nodded, "I'm here to agree in principle, but some technical details still need to be discussed." ”
"No problem, then I'll arrange for someone to lobby the Security Council first," Pierce flashed a smile in his eyes where the one-eyed director couldn't see it.
After a few words with Pierce, the One-Eyed Director began to return to his office to deal with the business he had accumulated since he was not on the side of the General Bureau.
After everything was dealt with, the one-eyed director looked at the storage document of this alien loot handed over by Hill in his hand, pondered for a moment, then got up and went to the outskirts of Washington, S.H.I.E.L.D.D.'s secret research institute dedicated to the preservation and research of special items.
As for why the one-eyed director went there in person, Hill knew very well. As an adjutant who has been with the one-eyed director for so long, she knows very well that the one-eyed director doesn't really believe anyone. Many things that seem to be more important, the one-eyed director will go to spot checks, which is a common practice, and it is also written in the express regulations of S.H.I.E.L.D.
In the 032 storage room of the Secret Research Institute, the one-eyed director randomly checked two according to his memory, and then ordered Hill to officially file the storage document, and left the storage room area.
As Hill expected, the One-Eyed Director was indeed here to confirm, but what she didn't know was that the One-Eyed Director had other plans for coming here besides this.
Take a special elevator into one of the most secret areas of the secret laboratory, pass a few verifications, and then arrive at a laboratory.
"Dr. Sterling, after all this time, has there been any progress in the research of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube?" The One-Eyed Director flipped through the research logs, then took a few steps forward and asked one of the researchers who was engrossed in operating the instrument for observation.
That's right, this secret research institute is where the Cosmic Cube is now kept, and a large part of the reason why the One-Eyed Director came here today is that he was also stimulated by General Zod's group of aliens, and wanted to see the research progress of this Cosmic Rubik's Cube that Howard had turned into an infinite source of energy.
"Director Nick, the development of science and technology needs to be accumulated over a long period of time, and there may be some accidents that will cause the development of science and technology by leaps and bounds, but most of the scientific achievements need to be studied for a long time before there will be certain progress," Dr. Sterling reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the Cosmic Cube and explained to Director One-Eyed.
Dr. Sterling was disgusted by the one-eyed senior suddenly interrupting his research. But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, and the real ownership of the Cosmic Cube is S.H.I.E.L.D. Therefore, if he wants to keep his position as the head of the research project, he must get acquainted.
"But we don't have much time," the One-Eyed Director glanced at Dr. Sterling in front of him dissatisfied, and said lightly, "Terrorists, mutants, and even alien invaders are getting closer and closer to our lives, we don't have time to explore for a long time, we must tap the potential we have in the shortest possible time." And the Cosmic Cube is one of the key points. Do you understand? Dr. Sterling. ”
Although General Zod's invasion ended in failure, he inexplicably retreated suddenly. But the One-Eyed Director couldn't have gambled the fate of the Earth on luck. Coupled with the fact that his Avenger plan was also not executing smoothly, he can only tap into the internal potential of S.H.I.E.L.D. as much as possible, and this mysterious item that shines in Hydra during World War II is a very important key point.
"I'm sorry, Chief Nick, I know what you're saying, but I really can't give you an exact time and answer," Dr. Stirling, of course, knew about such a big event as General Zod's invasion, so he knew very well what Director One-Eyed was anxious about, but there was really nothing he could do about it.
Science, as he said, is a very rigorous thing, and he really doesn't dare to give any guarantees in this regard.
Hearing this, the one-eyed director glanced deeply at Dr. Stirling and the Cosmic Cube in front of him, and without saying anything more, he turned around and left the room.
I don't know what Dr. Sterling said about the one-eyed director, but the one-eyed director really doesn't have time to wait for him to slowly produce results. So as soon as he left the room, the one-eyed director instructed Ciel, who was beside him, "Look for a new candidate for this area." ”
"Understood," Hill replied, and began to arrange.
Entering the elevator leading to the top, the one-eyed director suddenly remembered that he seemed to owe Anthony of the Stan Industries Group in New York for the right to research the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. Now that the researchers on their side have fallen into a bottleneck, it is better to give the perverted scientist in their group a chance to see if the fashionista who claims to be delayed by weapons research can open up a new situation.
The one-eyed director has always been a vigorous and resolute person, and since he has this idea, he must put it into practice. Therefore, as soon as he left the area of the research institute here, the one-eyed director directly dialed Anthony's phone, intending to inform the other party: "Anthony, I'm Nick Fury. ”
"It's Director Nick, I'm sorry, it's not convenient for our boss to answer the phone right now, if there's anything going on, you can leave a message to me, and I'll tell our boss," Gin said lightly.
Of course, Anthony has no way to answer the phone, he is still fighting with his other self in the sea of consciousness, life and death are at stake, how can he have time to pay attention to an idler.
In Anthony's sea of consciousness, the bloody Anthony's knife technique became more and more violent, and in the blink of an eye, Anthony's body was filled with several scars that were enough to penetrate the bones. That is, Anthony in the sea of consciousness is now a body of thoughts, otherwise these few scars alone will greatly damage Anthony's combat power.
However, although a few scars that pierced the bones did not affect Anthony's actions, it did consume Anthony's will and soul. If the scars accumulate to a certain extent, Anthony will really disappear. I didn't see that with the increase of scars, Anthony's figure became fading and fading, and it had begun to develop in the direction of blurring. So Anthony had to fight back, or it would be really over.
Just like Scarlet Anthony said, in fact, the two people know the same things, and the physical attributes in the sea of consciousness are similar, but the two people have their own focus. Therefore, between life and death, Anthony, who was desperate, slowly adapted to the opponent's magic knife, and really began to regain his disadvantage, and the battle between the two sides began to develop in the direction of a protracted war.
The sword is still the same sword, and the flying immortals outside the sky are still flying immortals outside the sky. It's just that now Anthony, who is on the verge of life and death, is no longer a rigid one, and already has his own understanding, his own sword heart!
If Ye Gucheng's sword is an immortal, and Anthony's sword is a demon, then Anthony's sword is ruthless!
The sword light emitted an incomparably brilliant light, like a storm, and the move could not leave the opponent's vital point! I'd rather break the jade than let the other party be whole!
To be honest, Anthony's sword turned out to be like this, not only did Anthony the blood not expect, but even Anthony himself did not expect it.
It turns out that his sword heart is actually ruthless! Looking at the few wounds on the bloody Anthony's body and the situation that was gradually leveled, Anthony felt that it was not unacceptable to be ruthless.
People sometimes have to be cruel to themselves!
