Chapter 022: The Space House Ship
"We have used all the known methods to determine the nature of this layer of matter. We can see that it is flowing, but it is showing an unprecedented level of inertia. One of the scientists, as the project leader, walked out on behalf of his colleagues who were trembling like him. In addition, we were not sure what was in it and did not dare to use a more drastic way, so we ......"
"Enough! Each of us has our own business, and we are not here to listen to you come up with all kinds of excuses! Whitehall interrupted the project leader impatiently, waved him aside, and then looked at the Hydra executives who had come with him, and spoke in a different attitude: "So, friends, what do you think?" ”
Among the Hydra executives who came this time, except for Gideon Malik, one of the members of the Super Council, the others were all scientists. None of them were surprised to hear Whitehall ask this, for they had been asked by Hydra's current leader, at least nominally, Alexander Pierce, to solve the problem.
It has to be said that Hydra attaches great importance to scientists. In terms of internal potential, Hydra's support and training of scientists has always been at the highest level of all jobs, even far exceeding that of the second-ranked combatants. As for external scientific talents, just look at the various leaders of Hydra and the composition of the members of the Super Committee, among which the scientists who are recruited have a considerable part of the right to speak in Hydra.
Of course, being absorbed into Hydra as a high-level is to enjoy all the conveniences provided by Hydra, and at the same time, to occasionally show your value or contribution to Hydra. Now is the time.
"My expertise is on the human side of experiments, not in materials science. But...... If you can't open this layer of azure matter, it doesn't matter if you keep the contents inside. If there's really no other way, how about letting them go in the drastic way they just mentioned? Then they won't be using all sorts of excuses to push you, Whitehall. Hehe, let me think about it...... What about gamma? ”
The first to respond to Whitehall was another leader in his ranks, Hugo Strange. If Rhaegar hears this name, he will make a fuss again, because Hugo Strange is supposed to be a character in the DC world, a supervillain, but now appears in Marvel's Hydra...... Well, I don't seem to think it's anything strange after saying it?
Hugo Strange is not the same as Whitehall. Although he has the identity of the leader of the hydra, he rarely uses it. In fact, apart from the occasional need to borrow Hydra's channels to obtain some special experimental materials, he prefers to stay in his own laboratory and tinker with his experiments. However, he is not involved in the affairs of Hydra, and whenever there is a problem that needs to be solved, even if it is not his area of expertise, he can give useful advice. Like now.
Listening to Hugo Strange's words, Whitehall shook his head: "It seems that you have heard about the South American side, where a Gamma Lab explosion was accidentally caused by our people's battle against the Resistance, miraculously turning a person into a magical monster. Well, Strange, what can give a person terrifying power, it doesn't necessarily have the same power itself......"
"No, I didn't suggest they bombard or cut with gamma energy." Strange laughed, "I mean, they can start by looking at what's in there in a relatively intense way." And if you can't do it with X-rays, what about gamma rays, which are more penetrating? ”
Hearing this, Whitehall was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand: "Strange, there is really you." ”
Strange also responded with a smile: "It's a pleasure to serve Hydra." Just a word of caution, be careful. If there's an explosion here, I don't dare hope I'll be a Hulk too. ”
This time, it wasn't just Strange and Whitehall, but several other Hydra executives laughed heartily.
There is a saying in China that 'literati are light', and this is also applicable among scientists. However, in addition to being scientists, these people present now also have the identity of the high-level of Hydra and this political attribute. This, to a certain extent, made them feel sympathetic.
However, as mentioned earlier, among all the Hydra executives present, there is one who has no background as a scientist.
"Well, then, Gideon, your presence strikes me as a little strange. I think you were a businessman and not a scientist. Are you hiding your talent for decades? When the scientists under his command finally had the direction to continue their experiments, Strange brought a bottle of red wine, poured it into the glasses and distributed it to several people, and asked Gideon Malik, who had not spoken.
This ridicule made the atmosphere of the scene lively in another way.
"When it comes to hiding talent under the identity of a businessman, Luthor is like that." Whitehall raised his glass to a large bald head next to him and said with a smile. The bald young man known as 'Luther' also laughed and clinked glasses with Whitehall. Whitehall took a sip of the red wine in his glass and continued. However, Luther's return to scientific research in the hands of his subordinates in recent years is a cause for celebration in any way. As for our Gideon, he's been called here because of his hidden talent. However, what he is hiding is not scientific knowledge, but the suppression of his own people. ”
Listening to several other Hydra executives chatting about themselves in a mocking and even sarcastic manner, Gideon Malik's face didn't mention how ugly it was. The unsuspecting ones finally figured out that Gideon would 'join' the scientists because Gideon's nephew, who had been suspected of having something to do with it by the punisher who had taken the now pending unlocking of Hydra.
"Haha, because a dog, an ordinary dog? Gideon, your nephew is interesting. Well, you're interesting, too. Another member of the Super Council, Dr. Hankpym, who was already showing his old age, said with a smile. This time, I won't say 'Rhaegar is there' anymore. As the first generation of Ant-Man and the inventor of the Pym particle, Dr. Pym once had a holiday with S.H.I.E.L.D. He was also one of the first scientists to be recruited by Hydra, and at the same time the one with the highest status. "But Gideon, I'm curious how you could have been sent to the Special Ops squad that we proposed and you explicitly objected to, after nearly thirty years of suppressing your nephew?"
The last sentence of Hank Pym used a questioning tone, which made the atmosphere of the scene a little solemn. But at this time, the scientists under his command shouted, breaking the somewhat stiff situation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I've seen what's inside. Oh my God, you're not going to believe ......"
Through the gamma-ray detection imaging on the large screen, several Hydra higher-ups saw what was encased in the azure unknown substance. It wasn't a body that Rhaegar had hoped for and even hoped for, but a ship, a ship.
I have to say here - if Rhaegar was here, he would have recognized it, it was before he traveled back in time, his parents and the scientists tried to launch into space to explore the extragalactic Extraterrestrial One (Wedge)!
Well, not exactly. At least in terms of size, the current building ship is more like a toy model. The key here is that this 'toy model' is moving, it has various corresponding accessories or parts, and it is even moving in the same way as a normal spacecraft. In other words, although it is a little smaller, it is really a space building ship!
So Rhaegar was right. He thought that such something might well have something to do with him, and he wasn't mistaken.
This was one of the few good news that Rhaegar had had since he crossed over to this new world, but unfortunately he didn't know anything about it. And there is another good news that he also doesn't know - after learning that there is a small space building ship inside, the scientists of the project team, plus those high-level people with scientific backgrounds, have spent several days still not being able to eliminate or break the azure material wrapped around the small space building ship, even the most advanced plasma exploration drilling technology of Hydra cannot drill it away. In the end, because there was no progress, and those high-level executives had their own affairs, the project was temporarily shelved. And the little spaceship, under the protection of the azure substance, just stayed there, waiting for its true owner to appear......
