In the Asia Military Restricted Area of Pennsylvania, a truck transporting supplies drove through the gate. When the logistics personnel were unloading the goods, a section of the exhaust pipe at the bottom of the truck changed shape and landed into a mechanical spider, crawling quickly and drilling into the drainage beside the curb. canal.
Far away in the Stark mansion in New York, Tony, Strange, Nick Fury, and Steve gathered in the living room to watch Tony remotely control the mechanical spider, use the sewer as a breakthrough, and successfully sneak into the military base.
Strange: Has technology advanced to this point?
Steve: The script is wrong. There are no real people infiltrating secretly. How could I be captured?
Nick Fury: Tony looks very skilled. Has he infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. before?
As the person involved, Tony was completely unaware of the thoughts of the three people behind him. While controlling the mechanical spider, he asked Jarvis to retrieve the files of the military base.
He raised his brows: "A secret base affiliated with the Air Force, used for satellite weapons research and development and aerospace experiments. Do you know what this means?"
Nick Fury said with a dark face: "It means there are Hydra people in the military, and there are many Hydra bases like this in the US empire."
"Director Fury, don't be so pessimistic. I used to deal with the military a lot. With a confidentiality agreement, many scientific researchers don't know who they are working for, so everyone in this base is not necessarily Hydra."
Tony tilted his head and raised his chin slightly: "Take your S.H.I.E.L.D. as another example. Many peripheral personnel always think that they are working for the FBI. It's the same reason."
Nick Fury: "..."
He felt that Tony knew too much!
The mechanical spider sneaked into the ventilation duct and, under Tony's mysterious operation, wandered around the underground base.
He continued: "The experiments of satellite weapons and aerospace have resulted in this base launching military satellites into space every year, no, every month, including space shuttles. Do you understand what I am saying?"
Strange answered: "Hydra's secret stronghold is not on the earth, but in outer space, such as the moon?"
"Yes, but in fact, there is more than just the earth and moon couple in the solar system. Hydra's base can be further away."
Tony's face was solemn: "Back then, my father worked undercover for the Hydra organization and sacrificed himself to close the space channel. When I saw the video tape he left behind, I knew that there were already Hydra spies lurking on the earth. Although the captain said that those spies were all It’s been cleaned up, but there’s no guarantee there won’t be any remnants left.”
Steve crossed his arms and said, "But what does this have to do with outer space?"
"Because there are not only Karma Taj on the earth, but also other superheroes, such as the Marvel Team, so it is not safe to lurk on the earth. There is a possibility of exposure at any time. It is safer to build the base in outer space."
Tony added: "Of course, there is also a possibility that Hydra secretly controls the world and forms another order... But this is too ridiculous and unrealistic!"
Steve: "..."
Reality is so ridiculous sometimes!
"Mage Strange found out that this base has abnormal space activity. I also found out that this base launches satellites very frequently. After the invasion, it was discovered that many of them were not satellites at all. The people of Hydra regarded this base as Outpost, concealing the presence of others and launching spacecraft into outer space.”
"Is there such a thing?"
Steve was surprised. Why didn't he know about this?
Seeing that Steve's shocked expression didn't look like he was faking it, Tony kindly comforted him: "Captain, there's no need to blame yourself too much. The Marvel Team has blocked aliens from the atmosphere many times over the years. I've heard a little bit about this... from God. In the SHIELD database."
Nick Fury: "..."
"But after all, the earth is so big, and there are only three people in the Marvel team. It is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net. Plus, the method chosen by Hydra is so secretive, it makes sense that you didn't notice it."
"By the way, Master Strange, how did you discover that there was a problem with this base? You said before that Kama Taj's exploration of the barrier found nothing. Did you catch a spy?"
"I didn't catch the spy. Because the matter was so important, I didn't dare to discuss it with others. I found that the space was unusually active because of the detection ability of the Eye of Agamotto..."
Strange's face changed slightly when he said this: "I am certain that this is not the space fluctuation opened by the dimensional channel, nor is it a magic portal. I have no idea what it is specifically."
Just as he was talking, the vent where the mechanical spider sneaked in was blocked. Tony's eyes lit up. He controlled the spider to use a cutting laser to open a gap at the end, and the camera suddenly became clear.
In the huge hollowed-out underground laboratory, pipelines are arranged, experimental equipment similar to a large particle collider is turned on, and blue light is slightly refracted from the wall. Two experimenters wearing chemical protective suits walked into it carrying suitcases. The form fades and disappears.
"Portal!" x2
Strange and Tony said in unison.
"..."
Steve wiped his cold sweat silently and lamented that his boss really went to a lot of trouble to deceive people.
In just a few days, a portal was specially built. It looked familiar and seemed to be the power of the space gem.
The second team of experimenters walked into the portal. Without saying a word, Tony controlled the mechanical spider to land, climbed onto the metal suitcase, and echoed on the surface of the box.
"Tony, it's too dangerous!"
Nick Fury hurriedly spoke out. He also wanted information, but now he must be cautious.
"Don't worry, I'll just take a look and won't mess around."
"But you don't know where the other side is, and the signal transmission will be exposed..."
"I use Hydra's technology, which my father left to me."
Tony didn't take it seriously. The metal box to which the mechanical spider was attached was lifted up by the third team of experimenters and entered the portal.
Swish, swish, swish! !
The signal was instantly lost and the screen flickered.
"Don't worry, it will take time to reconnect the signal. You three, would you like a drink first?"
Tony turned around to ask, but when no one answered, he took out the red wine from the wine cabinet and said thank you to himself.
In less than a moment, the signal was reconnected, and it was still a large laboratory, just like before, but the four of them knew that the scene under the lens was no longer on Earth.
"Tony, is it true that we won't be discovered?" Nick Fury asked nervously.
"Of course, you have to trust me...the technology provided by my father!"
Tony controlled the spider to perform a lurking mission, climbed along the metal wall of the laboratory and entered the ventilation duct. After a journey of luck in the maze, he miraculously escaped.
"Guys, do you guess where I tracked the signal and finally located it?"
"..."
"Okay, it's Mars..."
Tony said, suddenly becoming excited: "By the way, maybe we can be lucky enough to find the body of the Pathfinder. The collection value is very high!"
"Personally, I think the Pathfinder has been collected by Hydra."
Steve covered his face: "Maybe the photos taken by Pathfinder and sent back to Earth were all taken with the help of Hydra."
"..."
It made so much sense that Tony didn't know how to refute it.
Half an hour later, the metal spider crawled out of the complex underground world, touched the red surface of Mars, and quickly flew away from the Hydra Mars base under Tony's control.
Nick Fury had a bad premonition: "Tony, what are you going to do? You said you were just watching!"
"I have heard this sentence many times, but this is the first time it has come from a man."
Tony curled his lips and emphasized again: "Don't worry, I told you that I was just taking a look and would never mess around. And you also saw that such a small spider, what can it do?"
As he spoke, the metal spider combination deformed, turned on the thrusters and flew high into the sky, taking aerial photos of the Martian surface.
In the distance, the red sky is isolated by a dome shield, along with the sandstorms on the surface of Mars.
As the camera screen rose, an interstellar port made of steel appeared in the sight of the four people. Dozens of giant space warships docked at the port, and then hundreds of medium-sized warships.
Densely packed small spacecrafts were operating back and forth, and the camera zoomed in to reveal countless soldiers with guns maintaining order at the port.
Behind the star port, the huge building complex reveals its overall structure and outline. Viewed from a high altitude, it resembles the shape of an ice crystal snowflake.
With a vast territory, the Hydra Mars base covers a huge area and is full of futuristic visual impact, perfectly recreating an interstellar empire.
There was silence in the living room, and several people closed their eyes and were speechless for a long time. Although they didn't know how many bases Hydra had on Mars, even if there was only one, the Earth would have no chance of winning against this kind of military strength.
Tony wiped the cold sweat from his head and said rationally: "How about we surrender? Joining Hydra now as the leader will definitely have a higher status than being defeated and captured. You might be able to become a captain. You think 'What the hell?' How about 'The Man'?"
"It's just a few battleships, and it scares you like this?"
Nick Fury's eyes widened, and he would certainly be more convincing if he wasn't sweating profusely.
"A very powerful military force, enough to support an interstellar war, but conquering the earth is not realistic."
Steve was confident: "The fleet set off from Mars and arrived on Earth. This time is enough for the Marvel team to break them into pieces, so there is no need to worry too much."
Tony raised his thumbs: "As expected of the captain, I leave the important responsibility of protecting the earth to you."
Steve rolled his eyes at him and continued: "Now that we have seen it, this base must not be left alone. I will call on my teammates to clean it up."
"Wait, what do you mean by teammates?"
"Team Surprise!"
"No, it should be the Avengers."
Tony stepped forward and put his arm around Steve's shoulders familiarly: "Captain, I believe in the strength of the Marvel Team, but don't you think it's a waste to dismantle so many battleships?"
"Tony, couldn't you..."
"That's right. Instead of tearing this base down, it's better to seize it and increase our hard power."
"Tony, you have to think clearly, even if you snatch it away, no one on earth can fly a space battleship."
Steve said, looking at Nick Fury and Strange: "Help persuade Tony, the risk is too great, don't let him stop thinking."
"Captain, risk means gain, I think Tony is right!"
Nick Fury breathed a little heavily: "The power of the earth is too weak. Even if Hydra is defeated, it will still face threats from other civilizations in the universe. Now is a great opportunity for leapfrog progress."
Steve: "..."
Russell is right, there is no need to adjust the lines and scripts, as long as there is enough interest, the target will cooperate with the performance. If you don't perform, they will not be happy.
"But, the Marvel team can travel across the universe, how can the Avengers get there?"
"Mage Strange can open the portal!"
"Well, it should be possible, but I have to reach Mars first."
Steve: "..."
So cooperative!
