Yes.
After the Mandarin saw the arrival of SHIELD reinforcements, perhaps because he had obtained what he wanted, he neatly left Obadiah Stane, who had been tortured all night, and turned around and left. .
Bang!
Barbara landed and her eyes fell on Xin Zhao, who walked out of the ruins. His suit was spotless no matter how many times he faced the enemy before, but now it was stained with some dust.
Xin Zhao put away his gun, threw aside the threatening Obadiah Stane who was holding his hand, and looked at Barbara: "His attack method is very weird."
Barbara nodded and said, "I know, I've seen it."
Xin Zhao stopped talking, but looked at the direction where the Mandarin disappeared and fled. The eyes behind his sunglasses were filled with fierce flames symbolizing fighting spirit.
After coming to Earth for so long, Xin Zhao felt that this time, he finally had an opponent he could fight with.
after an hour.
Gewuen Private Hospital.
Obadiah Stane had just finished resuscitating him. At this moment, his body was covered with tubes, lying on the bed, waiting for death.
Hopeless.
All of Obadiah Stane's organs have failed. Now, as long as one of those tubes is pulled out at random, he will definitely die in the next second.
So why not pull it out?
Very simple.
There are no federal crimes that can directly confiscate personal assets. Here, the concept of the sanctity of personal private property is deeply rooted.
at the moment?
The director of Gown Hospital, Ms. Gwen Gown, was short of money, but Obadiah Stan had money, and then, because Obadiah Stan's designated person was Tony Stark.
so……
Tony Stark said that he would let Godfather do everything possible to save his good godfather, no matter how much money he spent, anyway...it was Stan's money at that time.
As for why Obadiah Stan’s designated person is Tony Stark, who knows, maybe this is also a cover-up for Obadiah Stan.
Anyway.
Dean Gwen Gwen was smiling and saying thank you to Barbara.
Barbara looked as usual.
Baker's attitude towards Gwen Gown was like a real biological sister. Naturally, Barbara didn't mind getting along well with Gwen Gown.
Anyway, Obadiah Stan paid for it himself, not S.H.I.E.L.D.
It is estimated that even if there is a miracle in the future, even if Obadiah Stan comes back to life, he will probably choose to commit suicide directly after seeing his assets that have been wiped out.
At this moment.
New York SHIELD is working full force to find traces of the Mandarin who may have gotten what he wants.
only……
If the Mandarin already got what he wanted from Obadiah Stane, then why did he send people to capture Pepper Potts?
Barbara asked Tony Stark her question.
As a temporary participant, Tony Stark sat in his seat and stared at his mobile phone. Through the control of Jarvis, he monitored the physical data status of Ms. Pepper Potts who was undergoing medical examination in real time.
After a while.
When Barbara asked the question for the second time, Tony looked up and said to Barbara: "If Stan has a backup, the previous backup has not been completed."
Even now, Tony has not perfected [hyperwarp teleportation technology].
Very simple.
If Tony had really perfected this technology, he would never have placed the portal to New York on top of the Statue of Liberty's torch.
The reason why the torch was set up at the Statue of Liberty was simply because it was the only place where a long-term and stable teleportation device could be installed. It was far from achieving Tony's ideal effect of direct teleportation anytime and anywhere.
and……
The ninth element required for the device is quite difficult to refine. Before the advent of the new element Ark reactor, let's put it this way, even Tony could only go back and forth between Los Angeles and New York once a day at most.
No more...
It is estimated that in less than three to five years, Tony will also be in a so-called financial crisis.
Barbara frowned: "You mean the portal?"
Tony hummed, then lowered his head, and once again turned his attention to Pepper Potts' physical examination data.
Portal.
The teleportation technology that Baker gave Barbara at that time was a huge and cumbersome technology. To put it simply, they needed a large energy supply source and then built a teleportation gate that could accommodate the operation and opening of large energy. According to the assessment at the time , if built according to such standards, the portal must be at least twenty meters high.
so……
At that time, SHIELD found the genius weapons master Tony Stark.
"So no matter what the Mandarin wants to do, he needs two things now!"
"The portal, and...the energy source!"
Barbara said this, looking at Ms. Daisy Johnson, the information security director of the SHIELD Center: "Notify Sanfei to strengthen the supervision of the energy factory."
Daisy responded.
Opening the portal requires a lot of energy. Not to mention the energy that allows the portal to operate smoothly, just after it is opened, the energy consumed per second is an astronomical figure. The energy consumed per second of operation is almost That's equal to the total number of functions in Jersey City in one day.
Even the new elemental Ark Reactor created by Tony Stark, taking the Ark Reactor on Tony's chest as an example, can only claim to be at full output for ten minutes at most.
So the next step for the Mandarin should be the energy source.
Tony Stark has one. So far, Tony Stark has only made it for his own big toys and has not mass-produced it.
S.H.I.E.L.D. also has one, and S.H.I.E.L.D.’s space carrier is about to reach its limit, so there is an energy factory of its own that is manufacturing an Ark reactor that can be adapted to the space carrier.
Wall Street has its own consortium ship, and they have also attracted Stark Industries to this new company in which Baker Morton holds the largest share. As one of the shareholders, Stark naturally has his own Ark reactor.
Then there's the Security Council.
Already in the Grand Canyon of the Federation, a huge sum of money was spent to purchase one-third of the consortium ships built by Wall Street, and then the first Federation, which was converted into a ship by the five countries, has also been adapted to the Ark reactor. It is running well and is in progress. During the secret test.
After that, it’s up to the countries in the Security Council themselves.
Of course.
This is the patent rights that Tony Stark paid a lot of money for.
So there aren't many targets for the Mandarin to choose from.
In the afternoon.
Barbara came back from get off work after attending a three-point meeting between SHIELD headquarters and the East China Spear Bureau. After sharing the intelligence in New York.
820 Fifth Avenue.
Barbara found Baker who was sitting in the study, playing online chess: "Tell me, you haven't killed the Mandarin yet."
Baker looked up at Barbara standing at the door and shook his head: "Not yet."
Barbara raised her eyebrows and walked in: "Why, if you didn't show up then, your woman would have been hammered into a pulp."
Baker's expression was calm: "He is dead, and the alien invasion plot you wanted is gone."
"The Mandarin is an alien?"
"no."
"..."
Baker looked at the opponent on the screen who was typing angrily after being defeated by him. He smiled. After exiting the game, he looked at Barbara and said, "He is not an alien, but he really wants to be an alien now." people."
Barbara: "..."
When Baker got up and walked downstairs, he concisely told Barbara the story he knew from Ancient One.
"So, you plan to pass this Mandarin and attract aliens?"
"So be it."
Baker said this. He originally thought about asking the angels in heaven to find an informant on the Xandar planet and sell the information, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was not safe.
the reason is simple.
Information dealers on earth can buy a piece of information ten to eight times, let alone those in the universe.
If this information was sold to an intelligence dealer, Baker would not be surprised if nine months later, the Kree, who had already failed once on Earth, came to ask for the Lord of the Rings again.
By then the earth will probably become a veritable battlefield.
Although Baker does not care about the future situation of the Earth, Baker still has some industries on the Earth. If the Earth becomes a battlefield between the Romulan Empire and the Kree Empire, it will not be of any benefit to Baker.
so……
Just come to a Romulan Empire.
"Then do you know where the Mandarin is now?"
"I do not know now."
"..."
Baker looked at Barbara who paused while putting peas on her plate, and smiled: "But if I wanted to, it would be easy to know where he is."
Barbara put two more spoonfuls of peas on Baker's plate: "But you don't want to."
Baker nodded: "Yes, you want alien invasion, I will give you aliens."
After finally finding an alien that met the criteria according to Barbara's request, Baker had no interest in messing up the matter. That would be causing trouble for himself.
Barbara sat down: "But, the Mandarin will die in the end."
"I can't think of a reason why he wouldn't die," Baker laughed.
Barbara nodded and stopped talking.
After a while.
"correct."
Barbara recalled the conversation she had with Pepper Potts at noon, and the appearance of another new Valoran creature immediately afterwards, and immediately looked at Baker: "Pepper asked me for help at noon today. "
Said.
Barbara briefly talked about what Pepper Potts asked for, and then the conversation turned to the new Valoran creature that appeared on the battlefield: "That Pyro is also a Valoran creature."
Baker raised his head and glanced at Barbara: "Say again, the name of cousin Pepper Potts' husband."
"Gerry, Gerry Kennedy!"
"..."
