Chapter 182: The Universe Cube
New York, Manhattan D.C.
The brand new THEM Mansion stands here.
The building, which once belonged to Hanmer Industries, has now undergone a complete change of signage and design language. The modern style of the steel-framed structure with glass curtain walls, the high-rise central lobby, and the fully open office area highlight the modern, high-tech and industrial design elements of the THEM Group.
This is Justin Hammer's lair.
At this time, the top floor of the THEM Building.
Modern, elegant and luxurious, an open lounge with a curved shape.
"These are my men."
Fu Qinghai pointed to a group of muscular giants behind him and said.
Justin had seen Fu Qinghai look like when he turned back into his prototype, and knew that these muscular giants who were generally about two meters tall, six or seven meters tall were the legendary "Space Marines", so he was not too surprised, but was slightly curious.
"Okay, please come with me."
Jia Si Ting has the demeanor of a hostess, and when she heard that these people were Qingshan's subordinates, she immediately arranged for a special attendant to come over to serve. The first thing to do was to arrange for New York's most famous fashion design brands to send tailors to tailor them.
This is also what Fu Qinghai meant. The crotch robes worn by the Space Marines are too simple and plain, the ascetic taste is too strong, and it is very eye-catching to walk in the city, and everyone needs to customize a suitable suit.
Ralph Lauren's professional tailors soon arrived with their assistants, who stepped on ladders to measure the space marines' body measurements, and then went back to work overtime to cut fabrics to make ready-to-wear garments – even the leather shoes were handmade, including cufflinks, ties, waistcoats, belts, and other accessories.
While everyone waited, the waiter brought wine and cocktails, all of which were very high spirits. Lin Yu, Camille, Tristan, and Fifty-Six are reincarnators, and modern life is very adaptable to them. Josda, Sutterfaran and Karamanda also didn't feel any discomfort.
According to the setting in the Marvel series "The Female Hulk", there are special people in the Marvel Cinematic Universe who are responsible for making superhero uniforms - the technology content is not necessarily high, but two conditions must be met: tight and good-looking.
Superheroes are a profession with a high ceiling and a low limit, and any Space Soldier who comes to the American universe can be counted as a superhero or supervillain, but they don't need a suit, and power armor is the best suit.
"Treat my brothers well."
Fu Qinghai drank a glass of bourbon whiskey and said:
"Then you take me on a tour of Pioneer."
"No problem, leave it to me."
Justine immediately agreed.
"Go and call Nathan Lemon."
Justine commanded the secretary.
Soon, Fu Qinghai's old acquaintance, Nathan Laimeng, appeared in the executive lounge, and it was the Miami swimsuit catwalk model girl that this guy arranged for Fu Qinghai.
Justin instructed the head of Hammer Industries to entertain her boyfriend's group of future soldiers, and then she led Fu Qinghai to take a helicopter trip to Pioneer Technology.
……
Pioneer Technology Industrial Park, Silicon Valley, California.
Jia Stine led Fu Qinghai into this mysterious scientific research base, recalling that at the beginning, Fu Qinghai led Ron to ransack this place, and also killed all the future Mordor, and I don't know if these staff recognize themselves.
The person in charge of Pioneer Technology greeted him.
"How is the Cosmic Cube research progressing?"
Fu Qinghai asked straight to the point.
"My lord, we can't replicate the Cosmic Cube."
The person in charge also said very dryly.
"Why?"
Fu Qinghai frowned when he heard this:
"You made the Cosmic Cube in the first place."
Cosmic Cube, this is the real purpose of Fu Qinghai's choice to come to this Marvel Comics universe.
The Cosmic Cube, the most critical link in Fu Qinghai's plan, is the key to breaking through the subspace storm.
Why is he so sure?
Because the Cosmic Cube is a wishing machine.
Back in the beginning, the plot line event "Secret Empire", Red Skull used the Cosmic Cube to modify reality, which directly turned Captain America into Captain Hydra, and Captain Hydra used the Cosmic Cube to modify reality, which directly turned Thor into an unpolished Thor...... Not only that, but the Avengers, such as Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Scarlet Witch, have all lost their abilities.
After the fall of the Secret Empire, the Cosmic Cube was nowhere to be found. Some people say that the Cosmic Cube was destroyed, some say that it was taken back to Asgard by Thor for proper preservation, and some say that the Cosmic Cube incarnated as a little girl flew away...... In short, there are different opinions, but Justine can confirm that the Cosmic Cube is not in S.H.I.E.L.D., because it is full of her eyeliner.
Fu Qinghai has even thought about it, after he gets the Cosmic Cube, maybe the power of the Cosmic Cube in the Warhammer 40k universe is not as strong as in the Marvel Comics universe, but isn't it easy to blow out a subspace storm? After all, it is the Cosmic Cube, a creation from the Transcendental Realm and the Transcendent Protoss, which is said to be able to control any material energy.
Now you're telling me you can't make it?
What do you mean? Targeting me?
"My lord, to tell you the truth, it was a complete accident that Pioneer Technology was able to create a cosmic cube before."
The person in charge of the institute reluctantly explained:
"We inadvertently detected some strange energy escaping in the universe, we didn't know where this energy came from, we just tried our best to restrain it, and this energy was bound and automatically formed into a perfect cube, which is the cosmic cube. In addition to this, there are many things we don't know about its nature. ”
"And now? Why can't it be made again? ”
Fu Qinghai then asked.
"Because we can't detect that energy."
The head of the institute explained:
"According to my analysis, that energy is not a constant in the universe, but comes from another dimension, which is not connected to the world we live in, but for some reason, maybe an accident, or some kind of deliberate arrangement, this energy appeared on the earth."
"Beyond the Divine Domain."
Fu Qinghai narrowed his eyes and said softly.
"Beyond what? My lord? ”
The head of the institute did not hear clearly.
"I said that the energy of the Cosmic Cube comes from the Transcendental Divine Domain, belonging to a group of alien races called the Transcendental Divine Race. Don't ask me why I know, because I just know. ”
Fu Qinghai waved his hand and said.
The cosmic cube is equal to the space gem, and this setting only belongs to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In any Marvel multiverse other than the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Cosmic Cube is the Cosmic Cube and the Infinity Stones are Infinity Stones, and there is no relationship between the two, they are different artifacts.
The person in charge of the research institute should not be lying, Fu Qinghai recalled the cosmic cube setting: it is said that the purpose of the cosmic cube energy provided by the Transcendental Protoss is to test the inner desire of human beings and learn the evolution process of human beings, and it is also possible to change the omnipotent universe. In short, this setting contains a lake that is not clear.
To put it bluntly, it's just to serve the plot.
Vanguard isn't the only force that has somehow gained access to the Cosmic Cube. Thanos, Red Skull, Beyonder, Skrull, Doctor Strange...... Both have used cosmic cubes at one time or another. From controlling elements to manipulating time and space, the person who holds the Cosmic Cube can turn his heart's desire into reality, and it is based on this invincible setting that the Cosmic Cube has become the golden finger and modifier of Marvel screenwriters.
I figured out all these twists and turns.
Fu Qinghai reluctantly accepted the reality:
"Okay, forget it."
Fu Qinghai was ready to think of other methods.
Justine was not happy to see this.
My boyfriend came with great expectations, but in the end he returned disappointed, what does this mean? Does it mean that I am managing Pioneer Technology mismanagement? I'm ugly, right?
"Pioneer Technology has taken so many grants and studied the Cosmic Cube for so long, is there no other achievement except for the sentence 'powerless'?"
Justine said calmly.
Her voice was calm, undulating without the slightest fluctuation.
However, when the person in charge of the research institute heard this, it was as if he had eaten a piece of ice weighing in the summer, and the whole person was cold from the top of his head to his feet in an instant. He knows very well that the big boss is angry, and if he doesn't come up with some results to prove that Pioneer Technology is not a dry meal, then the consequences will be very serious.
"Yes, yes."
The person in charge of the institute hurriedly stopped Fu Qinghai:
"My lord, although we haven't been able to create another cosmic cube, but after so many years of research, we are actually not completely without gains, please follow me."
"Oh? What else did it take? ”
Fu Qinghai said curiously.
The person in charge of the institute trotted all the way to the front, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in detail:
"According to the ideas we have put together. Generally speaking, if you want to create a cosmic cube, you have to make a very special and stable enough energy containment device, and open a rift between the universe and the 'transcendent realm' you are talking about, through which energy from other dimensions can be injected into the containment device, and when the device is filled with this energy, the containment device will transform into a perfect cube, and the energy in it will provide the cube with infinite energy. At this point, the whole step is complete. ”
The head of the institute went on to say:
"We can't detect that energy at the moment, but we've built containment devices. Look, my lord, we call it the 'Cosmic Containment Unit', and as long as a crack appears in the Transcendental Divine Realm again, this device can automatically capture and store that energy to form a new Cosmic Cube! ”
The head of the institute spoke in a very proud tone.
Pointing to a transparent cube, he said.
Fu Qinghai leaned over to take a closer look.
"Cosmic Accommodation Unit?"
Fu Qinghai asked while looking:
"Did you name it yourself?"
"It's not."
The head of the institute honestly admitted:
"Actually, Kobick told me. She said that there is more than one cosmic cube in the multiverse, and that the vast majority are regular cube matrices, but there are exceptions, and similar objects with different shapes are called 'cosmic containment units'. ”
Kobek?
Fu Qinghai suddenly remembered.
It's the little girl next to Red Skull, at first Upton thought she was Red Skull's daughter, but in fact she was the physical incarnation of the evolution of the Cosmic Cube, and the Cosmic Cube will produce an avatar according to the user's emotions and personality.
"So, this device?"
Fu Qinghai pointed to the transparent cube.
The head of the institute bowed his head in shame and said:
"She also inspired us."
There is no cosmic cube.
But there are boxes with cosmic cubes.
Justine felt like she understood.
What kind of research is this? Fool me, huh?
Justine's anger was about to flare up.
Fu Qinghai suddenly said in surprise:
"Hey, it's interesting, it's interesting......"
Fu Qinghai stared at this cube:
"You bring me the design drawings and I'll take a look."
"Yes, sir."
The head of the institute immediately obeyed.
After Fu Qinghai carefully examined the drawings, he suddenly felt that this transparent box was quite interesting, if it could restrain the energy from the transcendent divine domain, could it also restrain other energies? Like what...... Someone named Nyadra Zasa the Burner? Fu Qinghai still remembered that there was a fragment of the Star God, which was still hidden in the home galaxy of the space wolf, waiting for him to take possession of it...... Oh, don't you go and rescue you.
Fu Qinghai opened the white suitcase and took out a quadrangular cylindrical chip, he first took out an adapter and inserted it into the end of the chip, and then instructed the person in charge of the research institute:
"Give me a data interface."
The head of the institute looked at Justine.
"What do you want me to do? Do so. ”
Justin said with his hands on his chest.
Several assistants brought a computer, Fu Qinghai plugged in the chip, and before the assistant pressed the boot button, the computer automatically lit up. The person in charge of the research institute was stunned for a moment - he didn't know that in just a few seconds, the entire Pioneer Science and Technology Industrial Park was no longer under his control.
"Master, long time no see."
The voice of the green shadow sounded in the overhead radio.
"Qingming, what do you think?"
Fu Qinghai asked in a low voice.
"I'm amusing it too, master."
Qing Ming replied.
The space ape and the mini King Kong also crawled out of the box, and the two little guys climbed up Fu Qinghai's shoulders one left and one right, and then began to look at the transparent box and the design drawings in front of the screen, observing and analyzing while amazed.
"Ingenuity."
Shi Lan commented.
"Something."
Baseband attached.
The person in charge of the institute was stunned.
"My research team, I'm sorry."
Fu Qinghai turned his head and smiled apologetically at him.
Artificial intelligence, space apes, mini King Kong.
In short, none of them are human.
"This thing is great, I took it."
Fu Qinghai said to Jia Sting.
"Take it if you want, ask me what I'm doing."
Justine rolled her eyes at him.
The expression and posture are quite coquettish.
"By the way, what's your name?"
Before leaving, Fu Qinghai looked at the person in charge.
"Bernard Vorell, Your Excellency."
The person in charge hurriedly reported his name.
"Okay, remember you, you're good."
Fu Qinghai praised.
I thought that M. Pioneer Technology deserves to be the birthplace of Marvel's famous black technology. Bernard Warrell created the Cosmic Containment Unit, and George Tarleton created the Brain of Mordorke. This R&D strength is on par with Horizon Labs, and even comparable to groups such as Stark Industries and Osborne Industries. It's nice to have this kind of research institution in your own hands.
Visit Pioneer twice a year.
There is a new sensation every time.
……
New York, Manhattan District, East Village.
A high-end luxury spa.
Several helicopters landed on the tarmac.
Nathan Lemon led the senior officers of the regiment to enjoy the sauna. The Space Marines are all dressed in haute couture suits at the moment, and there is no way to hide their explosive exaggerated muscles, and just the neckline exposes a thick neck that is one dimension of the head, giving people a very bad feeling - a trait shared by almost all professional fighters, the neck is as thick as the head.
A whole bunch of thugs in suits.
Today the spa was booked in advance.
Sauna culture is not only found in East Asia, Russia, Turkey, and ancient Rome all have a long history of bathing and steaming culture. Today, Nathan Lemon is leading the Space Marines to a large luxury sauna with a focus on Turkish and ancient Roman styles, and to open a sauna in a place like Manhattan D.C., where every inch of land is at a premium, is not good, and all kinds of luxuries must be in place.
The water was rushing and the steam was steaming.
A couple of naked muscular giants lay in the pool.
"The water temperature is a little low."
Fifty-six said lazily.
"That's already the maximum temperature we can set in our bathroom, I'm sorry, gentlemen."
A manager dressed as a man explained with a smile.
Next to the temperature screen display: 85 degrees Celsius.
"Do you know why Khan is here?"
Lin Yu asked with a smile while lying on the edge of the pool.
Don't wait for others to answer, reveal the answer yourself:
"Because the boss has always wanted to build a similar facility in the conscription world. Kuitun hot spring is rich in resources, and it will be wasted if you don't soak in the sauna, so let's feel it in advance and develop it into a special culture of our war group. ”
Hot Springs Warband? Bathing warbands?
Fifty-six thought to himself.
Turn your head and look around.
Suddenly, I realized that there seemed to be one person missing.
I couldn't help asking:
"Eh, where's Sutterfarran?"
"I'm here."
A voice rang out in the corner.
Everyone turned their heads to see that the Raven Guard Warrior occupied an entire medium-sized pool by himself, his long wet black hair was scattered close to his face, and his body sank all below the surface of the water, revealing only half of his head and two eyes.
Are you a crocodile?
Hiding in the water to sneak up on us?
Number 56 complained in his heart.
"Whoa!"
Calm and smoking, the pool water suddenly swelled and splashed.
The commander of the first company stood up and stepped out of the bath:
"Next project."
The Moon Wolf Warrior said.
The boiling water of the pool flowed down the muscle hollows of the fortifications, and Jostar calmly walked towards the volcanic stone steam room. His skin is covered in dense and intricate black tattoos, including black wolf heads, vertical children's one-eyed children, skulls, and dialect writing, which come from the gangster culture of the underground mines of his hometown, Kthunia, the mining world.
"Sir, please wipe ......"
A waiter holding a towel was about to be served.
Suddenly, his eyes widened and he couldn't speak.
A huge object floated straight in front of him.
It's really ......
The waiter stood stunned and stood in place, his face shocked.
……
Fu Qinghai was not in a hurry to participate in the plot line immediately.
did not immediately start contacting Chen Xinxue and others.
First, he had to make sure that his previous layout in this universe could still work.
Second, there is another consideration, although not very urgent, but actually very important:
Enjoy modern life.
For reincarnation, this is a really important thing, and only after enjoying modern life can you understand how precious it is. In terms of quality of life alone, princes and generals in feudal society may not be as good as a common man in modern society. As for the society of the future? Too many sci-fi works are set in a dystopian social model, such as Warhammer 40k, such as Blade Runner, such as The Matrix...... The quality of life of ordinary people is not better than cattle and horses, and nominally belongs to the future society, but in fact it is not as good as modern society at all.
That's why so many reincarnators have chosen to leave their world anchors in these beautiful universes – both to enjoy modern life and to find a path to strengthening.
According to Fu Qinghai's request, the two brothers, Ron Benzm and Upton Dupont, have each infiltrated the society to listen to information and determine the major events of the plot line.
Zhang Yuning once again aimed at the rental market, carefully selecting a suitable house to camp in accordance with the usual practice, and built a cage and a haunted house.
After getting the cosmic accommodation unit, Fu Qinghai and Jia Stin returned to the group headquarters building, ready to officially start the layout and planning of this reincarnation world.
Su Zheng is one of Fu Qinghai's biggest hole cards, and it must not be shown at the beginning. It's best to wait for both sides to be clear, and then use it to make a final decision.
"Intelligence is the most important thing right now."
Fu Qinghai stood in front of the screen and said:
"At the moment, we have three ways to get information: First, Justin inherited the Hydra intelligence system, and we have a lot of eyelines in government agencies and within S.H.I.E.L.D. Secondly, artificial intelligence, I have given Qing Ming access to the Internet to retrieve screening information through her special abilities. Finally, two of my teammates are also trying to find information, and although there are only two of them, they have some unique advantages when it comes to obtaining information. ”
The senior officers of the warband sat in a precarious position.
Listen quietly to the speech of the war leader.
Justine was also present, she was quietly looking at these muscular giants, even if they were all in suits and leather shoes at the moment, they still couldn't hide the fierce aura rolling in the sea of corpses and blood, and they all stared at the battle group leader without saying a word.
"Justin, tell me about your findings."
Fu Qinghai gave up his position in front of the screen.
"Okay."
Justine retracted his gaze and got up and said:
"I only inherited and mastered some of Hydra's assets, not all of them. After the fall of the Secret Empire, Hydra's secret bases around the world were uprooted, except for a few that were in a state of mothball. At the same time, many of the people who Hydra planted in various governments and intelligence agencies have been implicated and exposed, so my intelligence cannot be compared with the peak of Hydra. ”
First, some objective facts were stated.
Then point to the screen and talk:
"S.H.I.E.L.D. is currently the world's largest supernatural and supernatural affairs authority, and after the arrival of the reincarnations, I think we can focus on the recent investigation and findings of S.H.I.E.L.D., and analyze the dynamics of the reincarnators according to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence."
"Who is the current director of S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Fu Qinghai asked casually:
"Agent Hill?"
"Agent Sharon Carter."
Justine replied.
"Oh, Captain America niece."
Fu Qinghai nodded in understanding:
"Go on."
"Okay."
Justin continued:
"After the restoration of the three-curved wing base of the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, they once again launched the Helicarrier program and began to build a new type of Helicarrier. According to information from my informants, this kind of aerospace aircraft carrier is more powerful, faster, has a greater carrying capacity, and has an almost unlimited cruise time, and its surveillance capabilities cover a global scale. ”
"Oh? Infinite Lingering? ”
Fu Qinghai immediately became interested:
"How exactly did they do it?"
In the last major event of the plot line, three of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Aerospace Helicarriers were destroyed and fell, but I didn't expect to build a new Aerospace Helicarrier so quickly, and the performance was actually more powerful than the original. There should be other reasons here.
"We've figured out why."
Justin raised his hand to switch slides:
"Gravity, S.H.I.E.L.D. got this."
A silver orb appears on the screen.
"Ul, a magical metal element from an extraterrestrial source, has been observed and tested by S.H.I.E.L.D. scientists and concluded that this element has the natural ability to disrupt gravitational fields. One gram of gravity can make a large truck fly more than ten meters high, and after design and power, gravity can overcome the gravity field in reverse. After applying it to the Helicarrier, all of the power output of the Helicarrier itself is used to change the direction of flight and increase the flight speed, and it does not even need any power to overcome gravity and levitate. ”
Justine realized that Fu Qinghai was interested.
Right away, let's focus on this gravitational rampium.
"This should be something out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe."
Fifty-six interjected:
"I have the impression that the American drama "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"There is a gravity king that behaves similarly to Magneto, that is, he absorbed this gravity and then gained the special ability to manipulate gravity, and I have also watched this American drama."
Tristan also said that there was such a thing.
An intelligence-sharing meeting.
Inexplicably, the building became a technical discussion meeting.
"Gravity, I want this."
Fu Qinghai put forward his needs straightforwardly.
"Okay, no problem."
Justine agreed on the spot.
……
The next day, early in the morning.
A sample of gravity was placed in front of Fu Qinghai's desk.
Fu Qinghai was stunned for a moment.
He thought the process should look like this:
The Iron Float Warband took a fancy to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Gravity Force, plotting a military operation to hijack a Helicarrier and then dismantle the magical gravity metal and take it away.
Unexpectedly, yesterday he just mentioned it in passing, and the next day Justin would be able to put gravity in front of him - is S.H.I.E.L.D. ALREADY SO BAD?
This wave, this wave has to be called ......
Crimson Cloak Kill Agent Carter.
After Nick Fury died, was there no pillar for the huge S.H.I.E.L.D.? Rogers' niece was no match for Old Hammer's daughter, it had all been seeped into a sieve.
…………
