Chapter 354: Harvest and Trivia

Silent City.

Between teleportations.

The dazzling light of the Dimensional Rainbow Bridge continued to brew, and finally, in a dazzling light, two huge mechanical devices that were still large enough even after the compression of the space device were teleported.

Countless waves of light and rays swept back and forth on the transmitted device at the same time, beginning to collect and parse informational data.

If you go to another civilization, assuming that your civilization level is higher than that of the other party, how to pack the other party's massive amount of technical information back?

Infinite storage disks?

In the words of a brain-wrenching person, as long as you are within the same underlying logical rules, it only takes a stick of that civilization.

What if it's a different universe?

Luke chooses to bring back the entire lab and creation.

Silent City began to operate in a high-power mode, with one spatial gem after another being connected and activated, and one spatial bubble after another forming between teleportations.

The signs of congestion between teleportations caused by the huge machinery that have been teleported have become spacious again under the effect of spatial bubbles.

Those huge devices and dismantled machines were swallowed up by the spatial bubbles and swallowed into their stomachs. Then it turned into a fluttering soap bubble, wafting between teleportations.

A hunchbacked, gray-haired old man commands floating mechanical squids, neatly arranging the bubbles and labeling them with a sequence of information. And it is also necessary to finely adjust the energy level and space size of the space bubble.

On the square outside, from various planets and dimensions, there are business beings stationed here, looking at the brilliant light in the sky one after another, inexplicably a little excited and nervous.

They all knew that what could create such a large amount of energy movement and magnificent scenes in Silent City could only be done by the Dimensional Rainbow Bridge running at full power. And with such frequent excitation, and the full-power operation of the Rainbow Bridge, it is obvious that Silent City has made another big move.

Their city lord and the behind-the-scenes controllers of the Energy Bank had obviously made a fortune again. That's certainly a good thing for them! Because the Silent City is the transit center and the heart of everything. Those things harvested from another universe and world, after being thoroughly studied, the metropolis turned into various products and technologies to circulate to the outside world to a limited extent, and the people who were close to the water and the buildings were the first to get the moon, and there were shops or people who had been stationed in the Silent City for a long time, so it was natural that the first ones had vested interests.

Silent City is no longer an unknown building in a remote corner of the universe, and its Ming City has even been expanded at least three times, and the fourth is already in preparation and bidding.

Civilizations large and small in the universe, most of them have an office in Ming City in the Silent City, which is like a place like an embassy. There will also be one or two shops in the vicinity of the area, which are distributed in different sizes for product display.

It has become a meeting place for major civilizations.

As for the dark city, it is relatively closed and only open to a few people and a few forces. Compared to the strong technological atmosphere of the Bright City, although the Dark City is still full of technology, everyone inside regards it as a meeting place of mysterious power.

After all, the strange creatures and dimensional creatures here alone are enough to open people's eyes. Like a gathering place of all kinds of mythical creatures, angels, demons, dwarves, gods, elves, mages.

There are also rare mysterious items that can rarely be bought in Ming City. At least Stark, a wealthy man in the atrium, likes to visit the dark city through the data dimension when he has nothing to do, and he is looking for treasures for the upgrading of his [hobby].

Different from Stark in other universes, Tony at the moment has more categories such as magic versions of Mark series suits and hybrid versions of Mark suits in addition to the existing technology version of Mark suits. For example, Asgard, Nine Realms and other battle suits, although they do not belong to a large category, they can be regarded as collector's editions made by him. It's like the spider series he created for Peter Parker.

No way, the cost of the tech version is okay for the time being, but the other versions of the suit are expensive and make Stark a little unbearable. In front of the materials in the data dimension that made him pick and choose, he had to admit that he really didn't have much money, and every penny he spent needed to be carefully calculated.

The main thing is the materials, those mysterious materials from various universes and dimensions, every bit that circulates out, they are all scrambled by the major forces according to the situation. Stark and the others have internal channels, but Luke, as a profiteer, will not generously give them away for free, or sell them at half discount. Every time he made a large purchase, Stark needed to spend all the new currency he had easily accumulated, and from time to time he had to exchange the latest technology of himself and Dr. Banner to fill the gap.

There is no way, seeing those materials of different materials, he always has an irrepressible desire for research and procurement. For him, it would be worse for him to refrain from buying and buying than for him to die.

That's why Stark still misses his uncle Obadiah for a while! Although he wanted to kill himself, the time when he was in charge of making money and handling affairs was indeed his most comfortable days. Their cooperation is still very good. Stark provides the technology, and he sells and converts it into money. If the other party is still there, maybe they will cooperate better with him.

Of course, this is just a matter of nostalgia. In fact, Pepper is doing a good job of this as well. Although she didn't have Obadiah's sleek and ruthless methods and calculations, the other party handled the company's affairs in an orderly manner, and the most important thing was that Pepper and Heblelen's Sandra had a bad relationship, and the two were so good that they almost kicked each other away from their own men and lived together with their children.

Stark was able to have the right to purchase all the non-public materials and the right to borrow money at low interest because his wife was the best friend of Mistress Hebleen. This made Stark a little embarrassed at some point.

So in order to maintain his self-esteem and some other factors, Stark had to go back to his old job.

Once S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick Fury sent Stark an offer and wanted to give him a salary, Stark was very arrogant at the time, you can't afford to pay my salary.

But now it is not what it used to be, although S.H.I.E.L.D. is in debt, and has been thrown over one debt business after another by Luke and those bigwigs of the Energy Bank, but as a subordinate institution of the Energy Bank, it has a lot of business and new currency resources.

Stark Industries is one of the giants that S.H.I.E.L.D. docks, responsible for solving and producing some customized equipment for S.H.I.E.L.D. And as the soul of Stark Industries, Stark also knocked on the side, and finally got the identity of a technology consultant from Nick, the kind with a generous salary!

As a person with great debt pressure, Nick certainly wouldn't let Stark and other scientific and technological consultants eat empty salaries, and almost after signing the contract, he assigned them a lot of research tasks non-stop.

S.H.I.E.L.D. has too many businesses now, and with the support of various countries, it has expanded into an ultimate monster. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it has all the rights and affairs of a country. But it has no citizens, and it is not responsible for the people, and its power even exceeded that of other official institutions at one time, and the eyes of generals such as Envious Ross were red.

Of course, Nick also paid a lot of benefits for this, such as the technology that S.H.I.E.L.D. inherited from Hyperion, some [benefits] of the Energy Bank, and most importantly, taxes on the new currency.

Officials are now counting on a steady stream of new currency returns from S.H.I.E.L.D. As long as Nick Fury doesn't touch this red line, then all kinds of support will not stop.

Giants such as Stark and Osborne will also be taxed on the revenue from orders earned by S.H.I.E.L.D. Even before the earliest days, the official council without a captain wanted to take all the new currency paid to these giants and then exchange it for the corresponding real currency to pay them. However, as soon as this kind of thing revealed a little bit of wind and temptation, these giant companies joined forces to fight back fiercely.

Everyone knows that the purchasing power of the new currency is stronger and rarer! The new currency can be exchanged for all currencies at any time, and can buy items from Hyperion and most cosmic civilizations, but what can real currency be exchanged for? Do they seem to be people who lack real money?

What they lack is a new currency!

During that time, there were four or five months of big and small meetings and arguments alone, and they came back once a day on average. The two sides were almost completely torn apart at that time.

In addition to meetings and quarrels, all kinds of small actions in private are also endless. Today this big guy was investigated, prosecuted and imprisoned, and tomorrow a big man committed suicide at home.

Even if the official parliament wants to use the military to make an example of the monkeys, face the security team with at least 100 people on the surface, all equipped with extraordinary weapons, and all kinds of deviants recruited in advance. After a secret confrontation, they all stopped stupidly.

This more intense confrontation brought about a deep cooperation between Osborne and other giants who abandoned everything else, and they gathered a super-equipped army and a mercenary army of deviants, and the situation was so bad that it seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.

The upper echelons are in chaos, and everyone is in danger. In the end, under the strong counterattack of the major giants and the tough attitude of non-cooperation, the parliamentary officials who found that this road could not go could only take a step back under the steps given by Nick. If the confrontation continues, no one will be able to control the situation, and order will collapse.

After some [peaceful] friendly negotiations, the official parliament and Osborne and other giants reached a consensus, and after each took a step back, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s new currency was still spent, but in exchange for a harsh new currency tax.

In fact, this situation is not uncommon since the establishment of the Energy Bank, but this time the momentum and confrontation are exceptionally large. For example, when there are external forces, giants such as Osborne will of course hold together depending on the situation, but if it is the competition of internal orders, the major giants will also tear up the competition first.

The stage when the tearing is more intense, and even the stage when the means are used to the extreme is in the early stage, the early orders are scarce, and the competition for each order is very fierce. Because it represents a matter of your earnings. You can't change careers anymore and pay the expensive consulting fees and machine loan fees of Hebelen every day, but you don't have any orders to do, right?

So what are they trying to do?

During that time, Nick was so blocked that he dared to stay in his office, eating and staying. When there is an important matter to be handled, it is even a portal for the mage advisors of S.H.I.E.L.D. to open a portal. Once you're done with the business, let the mage open the portal and teleport back.

Now, the giants will be more atmospheric. Because as the field of energy banking expanded, the business that S.H.I.E.L.D. was responsible for also began to expand. The War of the Nine Realms, the War of Civilizations, these two big orders made the Council and the major giants eat with oil and water. The soup and water at the beginning, naturally no one accounted for it. Even these giants can no longer look down on these petty fights, and they are generously distributed to the hands of sub-level enterprises.

Of course, if these sub-level companies want to get a ticket to join, they must at least contribute enough stocks and positions, and they also have to take out loans to buy the extraordinary machines that these giant companies have eliminated after upgrading, and pay expensive manual consulting fees and service fees.

Demanding conditions?

If you don't want to join, there will be a replacement right away.

The giants never worried about this. After all, no matter what, what they once paid for at Hyperion has to be recouped, right? The obsolete equipment is not broken, it is still a top-notch manufacturing machine, isn't it?

After opening up the multiverse and incorporating and expanding the Time Authority, this big cake almost stunned the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., COUNCIL, and giants.

The Time Authority has recruited a number of mutants to serve as mercenaries, and has placed a large number of orders with S.H.I.E.L.D. for extraordinary-sized equipment. Hyperion has also updated a new list of technology purchases, which is the order business of the Time Authority.

Therefore, this wave of S.H.I.E.L.D. pulled a large order from the energy bank, and applied to the bank for loan permissions, and when competing for orders, the orders included the corresponding manufacturing equipment prices and loan permissions.

In order to win this huge order that can make all the giants bear, Osborne and other companies tearfully handed over most of their hard-earned profits as purchase costs, and applied for large loans from the energy bank to purchase manufacturing instruments for various orders.

The Energy Bank ceded off a large amount of loans, Hebleon made another wave of lucrative and lasting profits, and the Council and S.H.I.E.L.D. ushered in a good harvest. The giants have been saddled with a heavy layer of loans, but they have acquired new technology, and over time, this order will allow them to pay for themselves and make a profit.

Even because of the increase in orders, more companies and people can participate in this order feast, and the new currency is no longer earned and owned by a few forces and a few people.
