The three of them hit it off and immediately formed a research team, and Fitz filled out the application form and submitted it on the same day, waiting for feedback from S.H.I.E.L.D. academy.

Luo Xiu could roughly guess Nick Fury's mental journey to the research of the Cosmic Cube - such an important energy source was absolutely top-secret at the beginning, and a special team of high-clearance agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. did professional research.

However, the difficulty of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is far from being able to be cracked by the existing earth technology, and it cannot be overcome by the current level of science and technology of S.H.I.E.L.D. alone.

And since the research of the Cosmic Cube has been delegated to the academy level, it means that Nick Fury has reduced his authority at least several times in the process, and there is really no one in the S.H.I.E.L.D. team who can crack the energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, so this difficult bone was handed over to the S.H.I.E.L.D. academy with the most knowledgeable reserves.

Now is the time for Rosho, Fitz, and Zhenma to shine.

The feedback from the college has always been timely, and Fitz received an email of successful application at noon the next day.

In the afternoon, the three of them went to the Energy Research Center of S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy to sign up, and they were greeted by Casey Black, a professor of energy science, and a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

Participating in this project first required signing a confidentiality agreement to ensure that what they saw and heard in the Energy Research Center would not be leaked outside the laboratory, and for the scientific trio, they had already seen many confidentiality agreements in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, but this confidentiality agreement was undoubtedly the most complicated and demanding confidentiality agreement they had ever signed.

After taking care of this part, the three of them were officially brought into the energy research center after going through strict security checks.

Professor Blake of Energy Science is their mentor on this topic and will follow up on their research on new energy throughout the process.

"The three of you are already the most influential people in the academy." Professor Black said with a smile, "What happened in Manhattan also caused quite a stir in the college. ”

She was only in her early forties, and her skin was quite delicately maintained, which was a unique age and appearance in S.H.I.E.L.D., which was full of old pedants.

"Hopefully, this experience won't have a negative impact on our research into new energy sources." Luo Xiu said with a wry smile.

Professor Black smiled and waved his hand, "Of course not, it will actually add a lot of color to your resume, I heard that the mechanical exoskeleton you used to fight against the whiplock used was Stark Industries' Ark Reactor, right?" ”

Luo Xiu nodded: "Yes, but the technology of the Ark Reactor was jointly developed by Stark and Vanke, the father of the whip lock, and I actually used Vanke's Ark Reactor technology, so it is slightly different from the Ark Reactor technology of Stark Industries, and Stark is more technically perfect." ”

Professor Black listened intently, and at the same time showed urgent curiosity, she was eager to inquire about this cross-generational energy technology, but she knew that Luo Xiu would not reveal it easily.

"Hmm...... Now that you know about the Ark reactor, you may have a good performance in this new energy research. Professor Blake said.

At this time, Fitz asked curiously, "Professor Blake, what kind of energy is we going to study?" ”

Blake smiled lightly, "Fitz, if I can answer your question, there is no need for this project to continue, does it?" ”

Fitz spread his hands: "Oh, you're right...... But can you at least describe this new energy source? ”

"Uh......" Professor Blake pinched his chin in embarrassment and shook his head slightly, "I'm sorry, I think with my current ability, it's really hard to describe this energy, but why don't you see for yourself?" ”

At this point, the four of them arrived at the core of the first floor of the Energy Research Center, where the center is designed as a large atrium with a high ceiling, and the laboratories on the first, second and third basement floors can be directly seen.

The mysterious "new energy" is placed in the center of the laboratory on the third basement floor, and from the first floor, you can just see the cube with a dull blue light fixed by several precision manipulators.

"Oh my God, this little thing is the new energy to be studied in this project?" Fitz asked incredulously, crouching on the floor on the first floor and squinting at the mysterious source of energy below.

Zhenma was also taken aback, and asked in a trembling voice, "Oh my God! What elements is this cube made of? What are its characteristics? ”

"I'm sorry, I can't answer your questions." Kathy Black spread his hands, "Actually, no one should be able to answer your question now, we only know that this cube comes from the vast universe and was once used by Hydra to develop weapons - but Hydra has developed less than one ten-thousandth of it, and the energy it contains is far greater than the few broken weapons made by Hydra......"

"Can we take a closer look at this energy source?" At this time, Luo Xiu asked.

"Of course you can, of course you can." Professor Black nodded, "Since your application is successful, you will have plenty of opportunities to get your hands on it in the next period of time." By the way, it's called the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, a name that's been handed down from World War II, and while I think it's a bit sloppy and naïve, it's a fitting name - a magical cube from the universe, isn't it? ”

"Cosmic Rubik's Cube......" Fitz and Zhenma repeated the name in a low voice, and Luo Xiu had long heard of the name.

Professor Black then took the trio to the basement three basement level by elevator, where they met with the people involved in the subject.

Almost one-third of the scholars in S.H.I.E.L.D. were gathered here, not only academics in energy science, but also professors of materials science, engineering, astronomy, and even biology.

And there are also a large number of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents gathered here, among which Luo Xiu recognized two familiar people - the bald Agent Sitwell and the muscular Agent Garrett.

The dominant figure was apparently Agent Garrett, the veteran of S.H.I.E.L.D., who walked towards Professor Black with a blank face.

"Hello, ma'am, how can I help you?" Garrett asked in a deep voice.

Professor Black smiled lightly, "I thought it would be the elegant and gentle Agent Coulson who would be in charge of this project. ”

"Poor Coulson has been transferred to the desert of New Mexico, and this guy won't be back anytime soon." Garrett sneered and said, "What's more, this cube is too important, and Coulson's authority can't handle such a high-authority task." ”
