Chapter 898: The core is the wandering fleet
Tony Stark's eyes are still relatively sharp, and he combined his experience as an arms producer to speculate on Wakanda's shortcomings just by looking at Wakanda's automated mines.
In fact, it's even more unbearable than Tony said.
Not only is there a shortage of qualified industrial workers who cannot make weapons like the big countries once they switch to a wartime system, but Wakanda also has the problem of valuing tradition and folklore in the country.
This can be seen from some details of the Black Panther chapter.
Internally, they still exist as tribal unions, emirates.
Too much emphasis on the characteristics and styles of small groups is not conducive to the industrialization of the country.
There are too few people, and there are still such and such taboos, folk traditions, and the integration of manpower has too many complex problems, so that it is a great waste.
Therefore, Wakanda's production system is actually very strange, a combination of old handicraft workshops + full automation beyond the times.
For example, to build a vibranium aircraft, due to the need for confidentiality and the objective reason of advanced technology, Wakanda has no way to outsource some parts and components, and can only produce them all by itself.
As we all know, such as airplanes and ships, are the most comprehensive tests of heavy industry, and there are only three countries with a complete industrial system for all mankind, the lighthouse, the hairy bear, and the flower planter.
Like other powers, many of them are outsourced, so although there is less baggage, they will also be controlled by others at critical moments.
Wakanda has never interacted with the outside world, pretending to be a small agricultural country with a small industrial system in terms of industry. Among them, there are many production categories, due to the small demand, there is no external market, so that they can usually survive and develop normally, so they are replaced by manual DIY.
It is conceivable that these handicraft workshops, even if some of the abilities of people are brought into full play, and all of them are 'eighth-level fitters', and the efficiency is miserable.
It is an exaggeration to say that it takes ten years to sharpen a sword, but some parts really take a few months to produce one with quality and quantity. Therefore, Tony Stark is right, every advanced weapon in Wakanda is saved, and the more complex it is, the more so.
This background also determines the strategy and tactics chosen by Wakanda after the war, which is very typical of the sword going sideways, which is more extreme than the foot basin in World War II, and it can't afford a bigger setback at all, and once it is frustrated, it basically has to vote.
This also leads to the fact that the Hydra is an organization that is more like a pirate in the Pirate of the Caribbean, which has two characteristics.
First, Wakanda is their Totuga (turtle) island, which is not so much a base camp as a transit point for rest and recuperation.
Second, the fleet, or ship regiment, is their home and their foundation.
This led to the result that Nick Fury's plan to sneak up on the lair, even if it succeeded, did not cause much damage to the hydra.
It's like Britain or Spain in the Pirates of the Caribbean captured Totouga, and Jack and his Black Pearl are okay and ready to come back.
On the other hand, if Black Pearl is contained, then Totuga Island is fine, and Jack can only fool around there, and he can't do any big deals.
As soon as Tony Stark told Nick Fury about his thoughts and speculations, Nick Fury immediately felt a pain in the egg.
The hydra is like a poisonous tongue, it must be pinched seven inches, otherwise it feels threatened, and that bite is very scary.
Although Tony Stark did not tell the truth and guessed completely, Nick Fury had obtained prophetic information from Kane, including all kinds of Wakanda, and now the combination of the two has basically determined that Wakanda is not the seven inches of Hydra.
For Hydra, the most important thing is likely to be the previous submarine ship in the Arabian Sea that launched a landing capsule from under the water to seize the aircraft carrier of the Lighthouse State.
Regarding this mysterious enemy who destroyed the third aircraft carrier battle group of the Lighthouse Country in a devastating manner, it was naturally the darling of the media after the incident, and many people participated in the discussion.
One of the most reliable arguments is that the other party is actually a fleet, and diving is only one of its uses, and the real use is space.
The reason for this conclusion is mainly the analysis of the 'big black fish' that jumped out of the water: good sealing, anti-gravity system, and the characteristics of the hull material, as well as its shape.
Although it is roughly shaped like a Typhoon-class submarine with a hairy bear, it is actually wider and flatter. Experts point out that such a structure is not very suitable for floating or sinking, but it is very suitable for high-speed progress.
Combined with these claims, Nick Fury has reason to believe that the core of the hydra is a wandering fleet.
If you can't target this fleet to hit it all at once, you will suffer its crazy rage.
"Natasha, Clint, you two stay behind and conduct a full reconnaissance of Wakanda, and the rest follow me back to the Avengers base. "Nick Fury is a decisive master, and realizing that he has mistaken his target, he immediately decides to quickly withdraw his punch in order to prepare for another attack.
Black Widow and Hawkeye had been with Nick for years, and they were used to each other, so they should have gotten down.
Nick Fury called the two aside and blessed them with the power of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
The Cosmic Cube that Kane gave him didn't have this trick.
Originally, the Cosmic Rubik's Cube could only be used on the holder, in addition to allowing Nick Fury to gain hyperspace induction and teleportation capabilities, there was also a trick similar to the Burning Hand, pure energy release, molten gold and iron.
But then Kane taught Nick Fury an extra little trick. It is to split a mirror universe cube so that Dr. Eric Xavig can continue to study the universe cube as the original history line has done at this stage, attract Loki's attention, and trigger the Kitari raid on Earth in Chapter 1 of the Avengers.
This incident has basically changed beyond recognition by now, after all, Kane couldn't wait, and took the initiative to run to get the Mind Stone directly from Thanos, and hacked Loki by the way.
In any case, Nick Fury has mastered a small trick that, combined with releasing the Burning Hand, ensures that he can transfer the energy of the Cosmic Cube in a non-lethal manner.
Of course, after all, it is energy, just like lightning and flame, but it is very dangerous in itself, but what if it is a special carrier that bears this energy?
As the nominal owner of the Hill, Maria Hill has the right to know.
After learning about the evil god nature of the Colonization from Kane, she told Nick Fury when he borrowed the Breeding Suit that the Breeding Suit on the Hill is capable of withstanding non-harmful (inspiring form) extraordinary powers, including the power of any Infinity Stone.
Nick has also done experiments in private, and he thinks that the cost performance is not high, and the ability obtained is okay, but it is a little difficult to accept the high energy consumption.
After all, the Cosmic Cube is not an Infinity Stone, and the reserves of extraordinary power are far behind. Although Kane used the technique of bull breaking to give the Cosmic Rubik's Cube the property of gathering extraordinary power, this kind of aggregation is called the gravitational effect, as the name suggests, the thicker it is, just like the higher the mass of the star, the stronger the gravitational force, the better the absorption effect.
Nick plans to use the Cosmic Cube as the inheritance of the Avengers administrator, and the earth is a micro-magic world, so it is natural to be careful in using the power of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
Therefore, the extraordinary power that is not cost-effective is given, and Nick is not willing to use it, and he personally ended up at Minot Air Force Base before, so there is no other trick, otherwise he would rather sit in the rear as always, rather than show his ability.
But now that the overall situation is grim, Nick feels the need to give Black Widow and Hawkeye the success rate of covert investigation, so he casts his supernatural powers.
In terms of the fusion characteristics of the colonization, the colonization of the Hill is naturally not comparable to the colonization of the Avengers, which makes Black Widow and Hawkeye deeply feel its magical side after obtaining the power of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
There was a touch of ice blue light in the pupils of the eyes, the organic combination of vision and perception, the whole world changed in the eyes of the two of them, the sense of mastery of space is difficult to describe, but it undoubtedly feels great.
"There is also such a secret technique, if there was this power in the presidential palace before, those guys would not have had a chance to retreat. Black Widow sighed in the channel.
Nick snorted coldly: "The president is not worth spending such magical power. Well, it's up to the two of you to stealth this time. ”
Hawkeye, who has always spoken little, also rarely said: "I am very confident in completing the task." ”
"That's good, wait for your good news. ”
As a result, the two sides parted ways, with Black Widow and Hawkeye continuing their investigations, while Nick and the others returned the same way.
Nick also left Coulson to walk a little later, taking command of the crew, connecting the tunnels to the entrance and exit of the vibranium cave complex, spending more time covering up, and also to meet Hawkeye and Black Widow.
The rest, like Henry, Stark, and the high-end team, traveled through the tunnel to an open space in the outer valley outside of Wakanda, and then called Winnie the Brain, and used the teleportation device to directly meet the lunar base.
Out of need, Nick urgently promoted six people to become reserve members of the Avengers.
These people are all familiar with Kane, namely knights, hummingbirds, bottomfires, assassins, mandalas, and bears.
The promotion of these people is a foreshadowing, after the collapse of Kane's trumpet, these people were resurrected from the broken wreckage, and Nick felt that they were no longer ordinary people, but had great potential.
Nick used his power in S.H.I.E.L.D., first formed a standard template special combat team, after covert observation, and the performance of Operation Hercules not long ago, Nick felt that they were okay, this time to invade Wakanda, he was promoted in the line of fire, and stuffed it into the high-end loan colonization suit.
Although these quasi-team members have various permission restrictions, and even the specific actions are basically controlled by the colonization, they are equivalent to puppets wrapped in intelligent armor, but from another perspective, this is not an eye-opener and an opportunity to learn.
You must know that these high-end breeding suits were designed by Kane, and the combat information of his brain is rich and clever, and it is indeed more proficient in using them than they themselves who have just been strengthened by demon insects and are still in the groping stage of exploring the comprehensive increase of the body.
It's a pity that neither of the two points that Nick secretly planned was achieved.
The first point is that Nick originally wanted to try to find out if the Hill's high-end colonization costume could resonate with the six people who were resurrected by Kane and unlock some otherworldly means.
As it turned out, overthinking. Kane's genetic system order is unexpectedly not changed to non-human just because the high-end breeding costume will merge with the user to a certain extent after wearing the armor, even if the other party also accepts his technique, it will still not be chaotic.
The second point is that the battle did not take place, and the knights learned very little.
Nick Fury is a person who hates less when he uses it, and a series of operations of the hydra are about to make him nervous, hoping to quickly grow up some superheroes, not to mention standing alone, at least he can win with the fake American team, the mass production of the Black Panther and the like, so as to effectively reduce the strength of the hydra.
Speaking of which, the current Avengers are also quite hurtful, the front-line commander of the American team is on the opposite side, Hulk has become a pure logistics staff, although Thor has a fate, but the time has not come, and he will not come to the earth to join the alliance, and the shock team has such a number, but it is always late, it is really only for revenge, not prevention.
Of course, there are also good sides, like Black Widow and Hawkeye, who were originally just ordinary people, have been strengthened to at least the level of the American team, and he himself has become an important combat force from ordinary people.
It's just that Hawkeye and Black Widow are ADC and AD, and he is a strategic force, and the team lacks the main T and strong fighters, so he seems a little weak and can't just face it.
Although Nick Fury does not analyze the Avengers with the concept of a game, he is also vaguely aware of the shortcomings of the team, so he tries his best to train fighting men, but I have to say that it is not so easy to obtain fighters like Hulk and Thor.
Kane is also aware of this, so Titanhulk is actually Maria Hill can be activated, and Hill and Nick also have a relevant agreement, which is considered a hole card in Nick's hand with activation conditions.
It was useless for Nick to keep holding back, but summoned Captain Marvel, mainly to let Team Marvel know about the current situation on Earth, and it would be better to interact with Kane.
Nick is a human supremacist, and he is actually a little dismissive of the righteous behavior of the team to maintain the peace of the star field, mainly because there are a lot of troubles for human beings, even if it is to maintain the peace of the star field, he should always help the earth.
He pondered, this time he used the excuse to summon the shock team back, one is to solve the crisis, and the other is maybe after interacting with Kane, the shock team can be a little less arrogant and pay more attention to the earth?
But for now, what Nick needs most is Maria Hill.
After returning to the lunar base, he contacted Maria Hill, hoping that Hill would use the Hill to find the location of the Hydra Wandering Fleet.
The Avengers' Pegasus can also do it, but the Pegasus exploration equipment can't be compared to the Hill, and when you find the hydra diving fleet, you will most likely be exposed.
Ships are different from people, and once the Pegasus is exposed, it is difficult to explain afterwards.
It's not that Nick Fury is evaluating those in power from a sinister and greedy perspective, but that the interests involved are too tempting for those people not to take them.
Even, it is forced by the situation to seek it, otherwise it will be obtained by others and master advanced technology, so should the big country kneel?
Something similar has already happened once.
As for the stealth aircraft that Kane seized with the trumpet Wren, didn't Kane look down on it and want to sell it for cash? The former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. bought it.
He didn't know how many ex-Nick few, but he heard Hill say that Kane inadvertently revealed when chatting with Hill that with this deal, Kane was able to get into the top ten of the world's richest list on the surface.
And the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. directly handed it over to a research institute jointly established by the Beacon Space Agency and the Air Force, which is the place where the Pegasus program was developed.
Nick went to the shock team once, but was left on the cold bench, and finally the shock team escaped by plane, and he didn't have a good impression of it at all.
The director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was also asked to step down by a majority of the Security Council members because this approach was too biased towards the lighthouse state.
But people don't lose, they are originally from the lighthouse country, with deep connections and backgrounds, after doing such a politically correct thing, will there be a lack of accommodation?
It is precisely because the aircraft was taken away by the Lighthouse Country, not in the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D., that I have not been able to study some clues for such a long time, and I don't know if it is true or false, anyway, I shook my head when I asked.
Tony Stark also quarreled with Nick about this, saying that he should have been contacted at that time, and Stark was silent when Nick said that Kane sold his flying machine and entered the top ten richest people list in one fell swoop.
The price is too expensive, and if he buys it, the largest shareholder of Stark Industries will not be him.
But if it were now, Tony might have actually bought it, who made the current situation in the Lighthouse Country so bad.
Speaking of which, at least in Stark's opinion, it's not all bad news.
For example, a series of evil events contributed to the warming of his relationship with Pepper.
In fact, to be more honest, it is not a warm-up, but Pepper feels that the social situation is changeable, life is impermanent, and even such a big lighthouse country says that if you fall, you will fall, and there is a crisis of sudden death, let alone an individual.
So, cherish the present, cherish the people in front of you, it's almost all together, don't waste it for one reason or another.
On a deeper level, although Pepper is also a typical lighthouser, she rarely returns home after becoming an adult, but she has a good relationship with her father and stepmother, and once he marries Stark, his parents can enjoy the asylum treatment of members of the Avengers.
There are some mundane things that will be very boring to say. Although Stark is arrogant and, like many people, has too many expectations for his other half, his emotional intelligence is not low, he can understand Pepper, and if his parents are alive, he will also find a way to get a ticket to the Avengers base.
In fact, the relatives of the Avengers have reached at least half, which has almost become the most important reason for the Avengers to focus on continuing to do things.
Maria Hill agreed to Nick Fury's request. She was also quite concerned about the current situation, and if it weren't for the same kind of rat trap as Nick Fury, she would have taken a tough shot a long time ago.
The Hill sailed from the back of the moon to Earth, and while it was still on its way, it received a new message from Nick Fury that something was wrong with New York!
