Chapter 337 Tony: Misplaced trust... or not?
Nick Fury, supporting himself, straightened his upper body from the chair and took out a box from the cabinet beside him, opening it.
"The engines and data protection of the three Helicarriers were upgraded with Stark's help under other guises. Therefore, directly seizing control of the Helicarriers from a network perspective is very difficult. Moreover, there's also Dr. Zola, who has transformed into a digital life form similar to artificial intelligence. Ward, the previous times you invaded .'s network to investigate Hydra, you were stopped by Dr. Zola.
So this time, we can only directly use a more physical method to regain control of the Helicarriers, inserting these three chips into the carrier's control console."
Nick Fury displayed the three chips in the box to the others.
"I refuse."
Captain America said.
"Captain, this..."
". has already been compromised, Nick. What we need to destroy is not just Hydra, but also ., including those three Helicarriers."
Fury turned his gaze to Hill.
"Actually, I agree with the Captain. From a management perspective, if a team or organization is completely corrupt, then destroying it and rebuilding a new one is the more correct approach."
Fury finally looked to the last person whose words carried weight, which was Shimizu.
"I don't care, unless the strike method in your Project Insight is a nuclear bomb. Otherwise, it shouldn't pose a threat to me."
Shimizu waved his hand nonchalantly.
Hydra's goal is to rule the world, not to plow the surface with a bunch of nuclear bombs. The Helicarrier's strike method is unlikely to be a nuclear bomb, and more likely to be something like a gamma bomb.
"Alright then, I'm not the Director now, so I can't order you around."
Nick Fury sighed.
After discussing for a while, they came out of the room.
Captain America and his newly acquainted little brother, Falcon Sam, stood on the bridge by the reservoir chatting.
"Yes, yes, I know. I'm here to ask for your help. I don't know if you have a way to transport some things to Michigan. I need to repair my armor.
Listen, Ward, a guy named Killian, who is the founder of ., he is the person behind the Mandarin. He stole Rhodey's War Machine, and they plan to use War Machine to assassinate the President, and then push the Vice President, who is one of them, to the position of President.
In this way, the entire country will fall into their control."
"Alright, I'm a little busy right now. Tell me your current location, down to the house number. In a few minutes, I'll have to go and deal with other things."
Shimizu said to Tony on the other end of the phone.
"Come on, buddy, what else do you have to do? Is there anything more important than this?"
"Um...destroying . and then saving the world?"
Tony: ???
Although they were about to leave, Shimizu still had Weitz search for Tony's location, and then opened a portal to find him.
However, this time it was a Shadow Clone, and before going, Shimizu went home and gave the Electro Armor Mark II and Sling Ring to the Shadow Clone to use.
The disadvantage of the Shadow Clone is that it is not durable enough. It will shatter once hit. Although theoretically it can split half of the main body's chakra, it cannot actually possess the energy to restore chakra like the main body.
However, with the Electro Armor equipped with an Arc Reactor, these defects can be greatly compensated.
The energy in the reactor can replace the chakra stored in the Shadow Clone for combat, greatly extending the battery life, and the outer layer of gold-titanium alloy can also provide some protection to the Shadow Clone, preventing it from being as fragile as paper.
The Sling Ring was also given to the Shadow Clone to open portals.
After the main body mastered the skills to open portals, it can directly rely on the power of the Mind Stone to assist in opening the door through the Eye of Watter. If the Shadow Clone uses the Sling Ring, it needs to pay a certain price to Vishanti—the payment form is chakra, and the energy paid is definitely greater than the energy given by Vishanti.
After all, the quality of chakra is far lower than the power possessed by Vishanti as a multi-universal god.
The latter, although biased towards the order-neutral multi-universal god, will not do a loss-making business.
"Portal? You really created space technology?"
In a garage, holding a welding torch to repair the Mark XLII armor, Tony looked suspiciously at Shimizu, who was wearing the Electro Armor Mark II, walking out of the portal.
"I brought you what you wanted."
The arm of the Electro Armor Mark II popped out a piece of hydrogen-saturated palladium metal and placed it on the table in front of Tony.
"Oh, no, Ward, what I want is not just a standard unit of palladium metal, but also a magnetic field generator and a high-energy ion injector. I can make the former myself, but it would take three days to charge with household electricity to barely use it, which is obviously too late. As for the latter, this place is not like that cave in the Middle East, where there is a discarded Jericho missile tail nozzle that can be used."
Tony scratched his head in frustration.
"Who said this is an ordinary piece of palladium metal."
Shimizu spread his hands in front of Tony, and the chest of the Electro Armor rotated, revealing the light of the Arc Reactor that Tony was very familiar with.
Tony's expression suddenly became very complicated, and he felt a sense of betrayal from a friend in his heart.
"Ward, I didn't expect you to actually..."
"Didn't expect me to crack the secrets of the Arc Reactor in other ways, right? To achieve cold nuclear fusion, the most reliable theoretical method is to release a large quantum tunneling effect.
Then the theory of your Arc Reactor is also very clear, isn't it?
I used nanobots to build a molecular-level factory that can fill hydrogen atoms into the unit cells of palladium metal in a set way. The energy output of the Arc Reactor manufactured in this way exceeds billion joules per second."
Shimizu sat down opposite Tony Stark casually, shamelessly taking the method invented by Bruce Wayne as his own.
Anyway, Batman can't come to this Marvel universe, so how would he know?
Tony breathed a sigh of relief, then put on the playful image that people often see on TV.
“So that’s how it is. I heard you previously acquired a famous South Korean nano-medical technology company to integrate their nanotechnology? While your method is good, it's at least ten percentage points behind mine, perhaps as high as sixteen point eight percent, because my reactor's output power is higher than yours.”
Tony made a tactical lean-back gesture.
The strange competitive spirit of a middle-aged, immature man.
“Just tell me if you’ll use it or not?”
Shimizu said with a tone of disdain, pointing to the palladium metal block on the table.
“Oh, of course I'll use it, even if it's not as good as my own.”
Tony hurriedly picked up the palladium metal block, pushed out the arc reactor on the chest of the Mark XLII suit sitting on the sofa, and removed the already scrapped one for replacement.
When the arc reactor was pushed back in, the familiar and joyful blue light reappeared on the Iron Man armor.
“Jarvis?”
“Hello, sir, it's a pleasure to see you again.”
Tony's expression was somewhat wistful.
“I previously created a new computing matrix as Jarvis's server, doubling his computing performance, but that computing matrix was hidden under my house in Malibu and was destroyed by Killian's missiles, which forced Jarvis to rely solely on the armor's intelligent chip as the host. Otherwise, things would be much easier for me.”
“Never mind all that. Now's the time to get down to business.”
Shimizu said to Tony.
… …
On the Shadow Clone side, Tony was making final adjustments to the Mark XLII, preparing for the next step of the operation against Killian.
Meanwhile, on the main body's side, the action had already begun.
“Attention all . agents, this is Steve Rogers…”
Captain America, along with Hill, Coulson, and Falcon Sam, had infiltrated .'s broadcast room and begun his own speech.
When it comes to verbal persuasion, America's shapely rear end is also quite skilled.
Before and during World War II, he performed similar performance and speech work in units similar to performing arts troupes.
In addition, the United States has promoted Captain America for seventy years, making him an extremely important spiritual symbol in the minds of these Americans. With special effects on designated groups, Comrade Steve's verbal persuasion may not be inferior to a certain blonde kid.
Shimizu felt that even if he used the Mind Stone for hypnosis, the effect might not be as good.
However, he didn't use any hypnotism, but another spell.
No mistakes, one shot, one hit, one inside, one contain, one look!
Similar to the one used in the Water Manor before, but larger in scope, covering the entire . base in the Washington area, sorting out all identified Hydra members.
“Shit.”
Coulson couldn't help but curse as he looked at the table file sent by Shimizu on the tablet.
“What's wrong?”
Hill asked.
“Nearly a third of everyone in . is Hydra, there are thousands of people, how am I supposed to remember that?”
“Your director is really something, only finding out after his subordinates have become like this,” the black man Sam couldn't help but complain.
“At least the previous few didn't find out, but he did.”
Coulson defended his beloved director.
“Okay, he's the best of these incompetent directors, but with so many people, how are we going to identify them later?”
Sam asked.
“No need to identify, the people who shoot at us are the enemies. The list is for subsequent cleanup. Water, how's it going on your end?”
Captain America put down the microphone and said.
“Steve, if you ask me, why not just let me try destroying these three Helicarriers.”
Shimizu stood on the ground, using the illusion function of the Mind Stone to assist in casting illusions, watching the Helicarriers slowly fly into the sky, and replied:
“Should be possible.”
There's a saying that one Tibetan Mastiff can fight three wolves, two Tibetan Mastiffs can fight one tiger, and three Tibetan Mastiffs can sink an aircraft carrier.
Shimizu felt that his combat power was at least equivalent to nine Tibetan Mastiffs.
Even if these three aircraft carriers are Helicarriers.
“Then let's use that as a backup plan. I'm worried that doing so will harm some innocent people on the three aircraft carriers. Let's follow the original plan for now. You, me, and Sam, the three of us will be responsible for the chips on one aircraft carrier each. Once time runs out, we'll have to rely on you, Water.”
On the deck of the Helicarrier, Captain America, who had already moved there, replied while using that shield with mocking capabilities to launch a Musou charge.
On the other side, Sam was also manipulating his high-tech mechanical wings, dodging the gunfire from the deck, and flying towards the chip loading location near the engine.
“Alright.”
Shimizu said indifferently.
Anyway, with him watching, nothing would happen, and it would be good to be able to relax a bit.
A portal opened, and Shimizu leisurely walked to the location where the chip was installed, and without any serious fighting, he inserted the chip that rewrote the program.
Next was Falcon Sam.
This black brother also didn't encounter any decent obstacles and installed the chip.
The most troublesome was still Captain America.
He encountered his good buddy, the Winter Soldier Bucky.
Both of them were super soldiers whose strength exceeded the peak of humanity. The former might be slightly stronger, but he couldn't bring himself to be ruthless against Bucky, and the latter did have the strength to entangle him.
“Need help?”
With two minutes remaining on the countdown, Shimizu opened the portal and said, looking at the two people wrestling on the glass floor.
The first response he got was a flying knife.
“Bang!”
Before the flying knife could touch Shimizu, it was shattered by an energy blast.
“Sorry, I'll have to trouble you to install the chip. Also, don't kill him, he's Bucky, just hand him over to me.”
Next to the shield lying on the ground, Steve used his hands and feet to firmly restrain Bucky's body, and said.
He had many obvious wounds on his body, as well as several gunshot wounds.
If it were an ordinary person, even a well-trained soldier, they would either be dead or seriously injured by now, but for Steve Rogers, whose body had been strengthened by the Super Soldier Serum, as long as it wasn't a fatal injury like the heart or brain, everything else was a minor problem.
“Why make things so complicated.”
Shimizu cleanly cut off Bucky's mechanical arm with a Vibranium sword, and then slapped the other person's head.
Not dizzy?
Then another slap, plus the mental hypnosis of the Mind Stone, put Bucky into a peaceful sleep like a baby.
“Beep!”
The chip was inserted.
All three chips had passed through Shimizu's hands.
From this moment on, even if the countdown hadn't ended, the three Helicarriers had already fallen into Vitos's control.
The next second, weapons protruded from the bottom of the Helicarriers and began to shoot at each other.
The Helicarriers quickly began to fall.
And Shimizu had also kept a trick up his sleeve.
