The reason why Kai said this to Tony was of course not just chatting. He was not that bored yet. The real reason why he told Tony these things was that he hoped to use Tony's power to conduct research on the inner earth world.
Spells are one thing, technology is another.
In addition, Kai also intends to build a secret base in the inner earth world. Kingsman's technological power is indeed good, but if Tony joins, he will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
As for whether this matter will be used by SHIELD... wait until they can find the entrance to the inner earth world! Do you really expect which volcanic crater in Iceland will allow you to enter the inner world? Stop dreaming. In the past few months, Kai and Gu Yi were not really fighting little monsters in the inner earth world. In fact, dealing with those little monsters was easier than imagined. After all, Kai didn't need to actually kill those monsters, he just let them return to their previous state.
Live as you should, those who hunt continue to hunt, and those who should sleep continue to sleep.
The rest of the time is more about repairing the spell nodes that have begun to break.
The power of the Cosmic Cube, or the Space Stone, has the highest priority in the universe, far higher than the power of the Great Guardian. The Great Guardian cannot limit the power of the Space Stone at all, and Dr. Eric Schavig inspired the power of the Space Stone. The method was too rough, causing the space gem to directly tear apart the real space, which caused the great guardian to suffer heavy losses! Many spell nodes were bombarded by the Infinity Stones, which caused the great guardian's power to be greatly reduced during this period.
And for ten thousand years, the great guardian has not been properly maintained. No matter how powerful the immortal is, the power of time still cannot be ignored. There are many spell nodes that have problems of this kind.
Now taking advantage of this opportunity, it is natural to maintain it.
This is a rare experience for the mages, which itself contains countless knowledge. Those magic nodes are actually the crystal sky, which is originally the crystallization of the magic power of the immortals. The power and knowledge contained in it can be said to be vast, and no mage can let go of this opportunity.
For them, doing this kind of thing is inherently enjoyable. As the spell nodes were continuously repaired, the restlessness of the Titan monsters gradually subsided.
Therefore, this process is both fulfilling and interesting for the mages.
Well, only those mages.
For Kai, it was a nightmare!
Originally, this kind of thing had nothing to do with Kai. But who knew that through an unintentional attempt, Gu Yi and the mages discovered that Kai's power could help repair the spell nodes.
So Kai became a charger... He didn't need to do anything, he just needed to borrow his power.
But it's exactly like this that makes Kai's life extremely boring these past few months!
And he can't just give up. After all, other mages have been working diligently to protect the world for so many years, and no one has ever complained, so what qualifications does he have to give up.
Finally, the recent maintenance of the great guardian was basically completed, and Kai took a breath.
Kai doesn't need to worry about the next thing. The Ancient One will figure out what makes those titan beasts crazy. This matter is very important. After all, if they hadn't responded in time, various little monsters might have destroyed the surface world!
…
While Kai and Tony were discussing matters in the inner earth world, on the other side, in the Sanfei Building in Washington, D.C., Nick Fury was also listening to his subordinates' reports.
"Recently, many government departments, especially our peripheral networks, have been attacked, and a lot of information that is not suitable for the public has been leaked. According to the analysis of our network intelligence department, this should be the work of a hacker organization." Phil again He was transferred back to the headquarters and promoted to the head of the investigation section of the headquarters. This department has great power and can intervene in all aspects of matters. It is a bit like the office director of our party and government agencies. Although it looks inconspicuous, it can intervene in everything. All fields such as field service, intelligence, logistics, scientific research, reserve force training, etc. have the power to intervene, and they are positions that can only be filled by the director's confidants.
"Have you found out their identities?"
Nick Fury has indeed been a bit proud recently, sweeping away the previous decline. Not only has King Kong's capture been completed, but SHIELD's internal insight plan is also progressing steadily. As long as everything goes well, everything in the future will be back on track as he envisioned.
"No, this hacker organization called 'Rising Tide' has an extremely strict organizational structure. All members are connected through various encrypted communications. These hackers are all anti-government activists, so be very careful. We are very careful in a short time. It’s difficult to find out their true identities.”
"Then let the cyber intelligence department investigate carefully! I give them so much money every year, not for them to tell me that I spent so much money, but they can't even handle a group of wild hackers!" Nick Fury said calmly.
Compared to before, Fury's temper is much better.
Phil nodded. Then report the next item: "In addition, we found out something about the government's Project X."
Nick Fury has obviously straightened up a lot this time.
Plan Its purpose is to form the government's own super-powered special operations force!
The FBI screens individuals with special abilities across the United States, and then selects some suitable candidates to form an organization similar to the Avengers. Then handed over to the Ministry of Defense for training. This is choking.
So SHIELD is very concerned about this.
With that said, Phil handed Nick Fury a piece of information.
Above are the personnel currently recruited by Project X.
I have to say that the FBI is quite capable.
"Professor", a mutant with the ability of telepathy and mind control, whose real name is Charles Francis Xavier. Only twenty-six years old, he graduated from Harvard University at the age of 16. He also attended Oxford University and Columbia University and received multiple doctorates in biology, psychology and other fields. I come from a wealthy family, but due to a congenital defect, I can only sit in a wheelchair. Very few people know that he is a mutant, and it was purely an accident that the FBI was able to find him.
This young man is an egalitarian and is very dissatisfied with the poor status quo of mutants, so he has been secretly sheltering some mutants. While the FBI was tracking another mutant, his telepathic ability was detected, and then this young man who was committed to improving the poor status of mutants took the initiative to come forward and wanted to join the project.
His idea is simple. By joining Project
'The Beast', a mutant, whose real name is Henry Philip McCoy, can't hide the fact that he is a mutant. He has thick hands and feet, long blue hair all over his body, and has superhuman strength. He can lift more than one He can easily climb brick walls and fight on tightropes. At the same time, he is also one of the smartest people in the world, proficient in human evolutionary biology, genetics, biochemistry and other professional knowledge, and he is also involved in other scientific fields.
'Siren', whose real name is Sean Cassidy, is also a mutant. His sonic attacks can damage the hearing systems of most creatures and even cause great harm to the body. It also has super hearing and uses sound waves to fly.
'Destroyer', Alex Summers, a mutant whose body can shoot high-energy beams and launch extremely powerful "plasma explosions".
'Darwin', Oman, is of half-African and half-Latino descent. He was abandoned by his mother as a freak since he was a child, so he has no surname. His body is able to protect itself and evolve according to the environment.
The others are just minor characters, not worth mentioning.
"Why are they all mutants?" Nick himself doesn't really discriminate against mutants. After all, he has experienced the black equal rights movement and knows what it feels like to be discriminated against. But he didn't expect that the FBI would look for all mutants.
"Probably... obedient. These people are all honest people, and most of them don't have any bad records. They are suitable for training." Phil gave a guess.
Nick Fury thinks this guess is reliable.
He put down the information and asked, "What about other institutions?"
Yes, other large institutions are not idle either. After all, in this world where various supernatural events occur frequently, things that needed to be kept strictly confidential in the past have begun to become less mysterious. Especially when S.H.I.E.L.D. is obviously doubted and suppressed by the Senate, the Senate and the White House, it is natural that those institutions cannot be idle.
"The CIA's 'Stumbling Block' project has been completed, and six super agents have been successfully created at this stage. However, the CIA is very confidential about this, and we cannot know the specific list. However, during our investigation, we found that the CIA is conducting another A study - the 'Superpower' plan. And according to intelligence, the Treadstone Project is likely to be a derivative of this plan."
Nick Fury raised an eyebrow.
The CIA has a long history. The super soldier serum and the experiments that turned Steve into Captain America were both conducted with the assistance of the CIA. It can be said that in the project of restoring the super soldier serum over the years, the most active one is the CIA. Even the military lags behind the CIA in this aspect.
However, as an established intelligence agency, their confidentiality capabilities are not comparable to those of ordinary agencies. No, even if SHIELD has always known that the CIA is conducting relevant research, it still doesn't know much information.
In fact, many times, SHIELD has always regarded the CIA as its biggest competitor.
"In addition, the Department of Homeland Security is also secretly conducting the CTU program." Phil continued.
The so-called CTU is the abbreviation of Counter Terrorist Unit, which means the National Anti-Terrorism Team.
"Now that we have checked out their list of agents, one of them needs special attention, Jack Bauer. Jack Bauer's parents are German-Americans living in California. He has a degree in natural sciences and criminology from the University of California, Los Angeles. and a master's degree in law and a bachelor's degree in art and English literature. He served as a member of the Los Angeles SWAT Delta Force, a CIA field team agent, a special agent of the Department of Homeland Security, and a senior assistant to the Secretary of Defense. He was later transferred to the CTU. Based on his past resume, we found , Jack Bauer is suspected of having special abilities.”
The Department of Homeland Security is relatively unlucky. It was established only a short time ago. When it was established, it was directly merged with many departments, so there are many flaws in it. Basically, every major domestic institution has its own eyeliners.
Of course SHIELD can't let it go.
"Finally, there is the military. According to intelligence, Lieutenant General Ross was secretly released and took charge of certain secret missions again. Our people are tracking his whereabouts. But the effect is not good." When Phil talked about Ross, his face changed. Showing a weird expression.
The lieutenant general was brought to a military court by Kai himself and was eventually sentenced to twenty years in prison. He was almost charged with treason. Unexpectedly, he has made a comeback now, which has to be admired. I don’t know what Kai’s expression will be after knowing this.
By the way, Ross's daughter is also out of prison now. She was originally sentenced to only three years in prison. After a series of lawsuits and medical parole, she basically didn't stay in prison for long.
Now this woman is being monitored by SHIELD, because SHIELD believes that she is an important means of controlling the Hulk.
By the way, S.H.I.E.L.D. ultimately failed to take Hulk under its wing, but was taken over by the Bureau of Shadows.
It is precisely because of this that the role of Ross's daughter, Betty Ross, is even more important.
Hulk joining the Shadow Bureau made Nick Fury very angry for a while. Not only because of Hulk's powerful fighting power, but also because of Bruce Banner's smart brain.
Although Nick Fury has other forces behind him, no organization can have too many brains like Bruce Banner.
After Phil reported for a while, Nick Fury gave instructions.
"The CIA and the Department of Homeland Security can let it go temporarily. But on the FBI side, we need to monitor it all the time."
Phil immediately understood what Nick Fury meant.
The CIA and the Department of Homeland Security are more difficult to deal with. The CIA is a veteran intelligence organization and they have their own system of confidentiality and loyalty. The Department of Homeland Security has been supported by the government because it has only been established for a short period of time. It is very difficult to poach them.
But the FBI's Project X...a bunch of newbies are the best to fool. SHIELD can start from this aspect.
"Understood, I will make arrangements." Phil, the big butler, did it very smoothly. But his main job is still not this, but to lead his own team to act alone. The reason for promoting Phil was probably to increase his qualifications and familiarize him with the operating mechanisms of various departments.
Apparently, Nick Fury did start grooming Phil. Phil could probably feel it too.
Who wouldn’t be happy to be cultivated by a leader?
"By the way, do you have any information about Kai... Natasha recently?"
"No, but they will have a party today. Maybe they will gain something."
