Chapter 8 The Rubik's Cube
In the face of Leon's questioning, Nick Fury chose to tell the details, "In March 1942, the Nazi organization, obsessed with collecting all kinds of mysterious objects, took a dark blue square gem from Donstone Castle in Norway.
The gem is known as the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. ”
"Oh?"
Li Ang raised his eyebrows with interest, as if he was keenly aware of some interesting toy, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "Go on, I'm listening." ”
"A Nazi officer named Johann Schmidt led a team of scientists to study the Rubik's Cube of the Universe, and they found that the object looked like a very standard cube from the outside, with a length, width and height of 15.7 centimeters, and its material seemed to be some kind of mineral structure that had not yet been recognized, and there was a ribbon-like streamer in the center of the cube."
Nick Fury grimaced and said indifferently: "The strange thing is that no matter how accurate the measuring equipment used by Schmidt and others, the length, width, and height of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube have always remained unchanged, neither increasing nor decreasing, as if they were fixed by the rules of a certain clock.
Moreover, no matter what method they use, they will not be able to cause even a nanometer wound on the surface of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and any energy applied to the Cosmic Rubik's Cube will cause the Rubik's Cube to gradually emit radiant energy.
The total amount of radiant energy, compared with the total amount of energy just applied, shows an exponential growth trend. ”
In other words, the Cosmic Cube is able to take energy and release more energy – a complete violation of the first law of thermodynamics, enough to be called a "specially constructed perpetual motion machine".
"It's kind of interesting." Leon nodded, spread his hands, and gestured, "Go on." ”
Nick Fury took a deep breath and said hoarsely: "This wonderful effect of the law of conservation of energy was immediately noticed by Nazi scientists.
They tried to decipher the mystery of infinite energy from the Rubik's Cube and use it to create weapons that were more powerful than ever before, helping the Third Reich to flatten the world. ”
"And yet they failed." Li Ang took over the conversation with kindness.
"That's right, they failed." Nick Fury narrowed his eyes, as if recalling some long-term memories, and said softly: "Steve Rogers, who had been injected with the Super Soldier Serum at that time, appeared on the battlefield of World War II as Captain America, participating in some infiltration, reconnaissance, blasting, and capture operations behind enemy lines, and heroically resisting the evil German Empire.
The Nazi officer, John Schmidt, later known as the Red Skull, clashed with Captain America, and after a fierce battle, Captain America and the Cosmic Cube fell into the Antarctic ice together. ”
"It wasn't until later that Captain America, along with the Rubik's Cube, was re-fished from the eternal ice."
Leon said thoughtfully: "Steve Rogers was naturally reawakened, and the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, which claims to have 'infinite energy', was used by you for research. ”
“.... Yes. ”
Nick Fury let out a breath of turbid air and said softly: "After the victory in World War II, the United States, as the victorious country, took over part of the scientific research results of Nazi Germany, and obtained the records of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube by Red Skull and others.
We recruited Dr. Servig to work with NASA scientists to analyze the Rubik's Cube in the universe and try to re-decipher the mystery of infinite energy. ”
"Huh?"
Li Ang grinned, waved his finger, and said jokingly, "Should I praise you for your spirit of exploration?" Or should I praise you for being happy?
Having seen the enemy of the level of an alien god with my own eyes, I have come to realize that there is nothing more benevolent about this world than the inability of the human mind to integrate its full contents.
The vast majority of human beings live on a calm island called ignorance, surrounded by an endless black ocean, on which only the brightest and most brilliant individual beings are fortunate enough to sail on a ship called 'Science'.
At the beginning of the voyage, the deep sea is calm, but when the seemingly unrelated knowledge is pieced together, it opens up a terrifying vision of reality, revealing the terrible condition of humanity in it.
And the vast majority of people will go mad, or because of the fear of the extreme unknown, flee from this deadly light and hide in the new dark ages, enjoying the silence and safety there. ”
As Leon spoke, the shadow of the candle dragon in his eyes loomed, and Nick Fury in front of him felt a bitter cold in an instant, and his body stiffened inexplicably.
An endless amount of mixed information slowly overflowed from Leon's body, like some kind of viscous black oil, gradually filling Director Fury's sober mind.
It is not the deterrence of high-dimensional beings against low-level creatures, but the innate oppression of high-dimensional creatures on low-dimensional creatures - Li Ang, who has experienced the vision of four-dimensional creatures, has completely surpassed the vast majority of ordinary people in the essence of life, so much so that one look of his can make the latter experience the washing of a huge amount of information, and the slightest carelessness can even completely destroy the will of mortals.
"Do you feel it? Director Fury? This fatal, almost irrepressible feeling of fear. ”
Leon looked sarcastically at Nick Fury, who was covered in cold sweat but stiff and unable to move, and said quietly: "How much danger does that vast and unknown dead universe contain enough to destroy humanity and the earth?
If you keep your head down and carefully hide yourself, you can still survive in the safety of the dark.
However, to explore an eternal energy engine of unknown efficacy and unknown origin is to be completely deadly!
You may invite foreign gods to descend on earth;
It may cause hot celestial bodies to burn all things;
may create a quiet black hole to devour the heavens and the earth,
may call for the pinnacle civilization to come and enslave living beings;
Have you considered this possibility? No! ”
Nick Fury gritted his teeth and said bitterly between his teeth, "And that's not because of you, ahem, I mean it's because of those transcendents like the Apocalypse."
A single apocalypse can plunge the United States and even the world into crisis, so what about more god-level transcendents?
If we don't take the initiative to develop weapons, will we not be able to sit idly by?! ”
"yes, and then your military base was bombed."
Leon looked at Nick Fury's stiff expression, shook his head and said, "Alas..... Tell me what happened to you during your exploration of the Cosmic Cube. ”
“.... Just a few hours ago, the energy fluctuations of the Cosmic Cube climbed to an all-time high, and a portal opened inside the base. ”
Nick Fury said in a deep voice: "Thor's younger brother, the evil god Loki of Norse mythology, has appeared and taken the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. We suspect that he's infiltrated the school city, waiting for an opportunity to plot an even bigger conspiracy. ”
