Chapter 47 Technical Difficulties

CIA agents arrived on the scene within a minute of the end of the battle. A red-haired, sunglasses-wearing female agent walked in in a tan leather coat, followed by agents wrapped in black uniforms with guns in hand.

β€œCIA!” The woman held her badge aloft, the badge reflecting a dim white light, "No one move!" ”

Ignoring the room full of guns, Peter strode up to the red-haired agent.

"Is that you?" He asked, "Did you hire that madman to allow him to clone me so much?" ”

"Highly classified, you have no right to know, Mr. Parker." The red-haired agent's voice was grim, "Now put your hands up on the ground, we're going to ask you a few ...... Issue? ”

She seemed to catch a glimpse of Otto's corpse with a burned heart behind everyone out of the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but pull down her sunglasses and frown slightly.

"You killed him?" "Dr. Otto Octavius is now a government employee, so now you're still suspected of murder." Don't make things more complicated by making unnecessary resistance, you should be honest with us now......"

The black armor seemed to slowly emerge from the inconspicuous shadows of the room, blocking the agent. She subconsciously took a step back, and all the muzzles of her guns were pointed at the armor.

Perhaps due to the black paint on its exterior and the dim lighting of the room, the agent didn't even notice the existence of this guy in the first place. She looked the person in front of her up and down, and couldn't help but sink in her heart.

Black armor with white stripes, and a V-shaped eyepiece on the helmet...... Red-haired agents have no less privilege in the CIA and have access to a lot of secrets. After the dissolution of S.H.I.E.L.D., the CIA took over a large number of sealed classified files, and she distinctly remembered this guy who was listed as a "super high-risk" person by Nick Fury.

Black Knight.

But what is such a dangerous element doing here?

It's one thing to arrest a junior high school super-powerful teenager and a few clones of him, but it's quite another to deal with super-dangerous super-dangerouss who have been judged "highly dangerous" by Aegis, which is completely different from what was planned.

"Now that's the way it is," said Michael, in a calm tone, "Otto wasn't killed by them, I killed himβ€”though you may go to the autopsy and examine the wounds." I've also erased all the data Otto has done for you on the Spider Warrior project, not a single drop of which is left. ”

The red-haired agent frowned, "Do you know what you've done yourself?" ”

"Clearly." Michael turned sideways and pointed to the four Spider-Men behind him, "Not only that, but now I plan to walk out of here with these children." You can try to stop it, but I don't think you can tell who will be hurt with your guns. ”

"How dare you do this......"

"What are you going to do? Do you want to issue me The Division? Michael's tone was calm, "Then you're too late, I'm already on the list." So now you either get out of the way and go back with your people and tell your boss there's nothing you can do...... Or you can have your corpse convey the same message to your boss. What do you think? ”

The red-haired agent stared at him for a moment, his eyes undisguised as he wanted to pry his helmet open and shoot him in the head. But deep down she knew it - she couldn't do anything.

She closed her eyes lightly and beckoned. The agents lowered their guns and consciously moved out of the way.

This is the end of the cloning incident that caused a small stir, but fortunately, Michael intervened to bring the situation under control before the superpower gene was further revealed.

Michael never trusted the government, nor did he think it was a good thing that the mass-produced Spider-Man technology would fall into the hands of the U.S. government β€” or any other government in the world today. Humanity is not ready for this form of change, and neither party should have access to this power, which will only lead decision-makers to make bad decisions, which in turn will lead to perhaps unimaginable consequences.

The incident was resolved, but in the end there were no serious consequences. But if there is one person who has the greatest impact on it, it is the person himself.

It's not easy for any 16-year-old high school student to accept this, even if it's a 16-year-old high school student who can block a bus with his bare hands. But Peter is a strong kid, and he will recover, and he will eventually return to the streets of New York as Spider-Man in his suit.

Ben Riley and Kane both made it clear that they had no interest in this messy life, and they both said that they just wanted to find a place away from their own bodies, leaving everything related to Spider-Man behind, and finding their own peaceful life. Perhaps for them, this is also the best option.

Finally, there's Gwen. Unsurprisingly, she decided to accept Michael's invitation, and she was placed in a new identity, a new residence. Her new name is Gwen Grovernie, sixteen years old, a high school student at 163 Middle School. It's just that while maintaining her daily life, she also has to spare time to receive systematic training in Tianjian until she meets the corresponding requirements before she can officially join the field team.

"I thought you'd want to recruit the cloned Spider Lady into your team right away." Shirley said as Michael set up Gwen's profile, "What made you change your mind? ”

"Theoretically, she's only been six months old, Shirley. And her thinking is only equivalent to that of a sixteen-year-old child. Michael filed her profile into the shortlist of superpower candidates and added a complex encryption routine, "She's different. The Winter Soldier is a top-notch killer in her own right, and both Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver have been trained under Straker, but she hasn't. ”

"You're saying she's immature."

"Yes, so she needs to be trained, and she needs to experience life." "When she's ready, I'll recruit her on the team." ”

"And what about Dr. Octavius' cloning plan?" Shirley added, "All relevant data in the CIA database has been erased, and the last backup related to this project is in our possession. Would you like to continue the program? ”

Michael shook his head: "Otto has made a lot of progress, but this plan is still far from being truly mature. He invested a lot of money and conducted countless experiments to only toss these three clones, and if he really wanted to use this technology to build an army of Spider-Man and sell the country, it would not be enough for him to toss. ”

"So you think this project is a failure?"

"The price-performance ratio is too low to be practical, and Octavius, the only person who knows the Oz recipe now, is dead. So yes, it's a failure. "But the data will be kept on file for now, and it may be useful in the future." ”

"Yes, sir."

"What about vibranium mixed metal simulations?" Michael's words shifted, "How's it going?" ”

"To date, 91% of the known materials have been tested, and there are 342 alternatives, but all of them have common drawbacks that cannot be solved for the time being."

"What's the problem?"

"Energy, sir. Mixing vibranium to create armor with the above scheme will result in a significant reduction in the energy transfer rate and an increase in the attrition rate, and if the existing battery-powered armor is continued to be used, the combat time will be reduced to one-sixth of the original time on average. ”

"That's a problem, but I think there's a solution to that."

"What do you think, sir?"

Michael swiped his finger to close the screen for the Squad's shortlist, picking out another item from the project file on the left based on the initials.

"Remember the 'obelisk' that made Daniel Whitehall obsessed with it to the point of madness?"

"Remember, sir. It is recorded to be an ancient artifact of unexplained power, which was seized from Hydra in 1945 by Agent Carter, one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., and has been in the custody of S.H.I.E.L.D. ever since. But not long ago, after the disbandment of Aegis, this thing was also missing......"

With a wave of Michael's arm, all the files in the project were opened at the same time. A large stereoscopic projection of an obelisk appeared on the virtual screen, surrounded by Whitehall's years of research.

"In fact, it has been taken by Whitehall's men from Aegis' dangerous goods warehouse." Michael said, "So soon we're going to give Whitehall a surprise visit." I believe in this 'obelisk'...... It's our solution to technical problems. ”
