Chapter 183

Adirondacks, New York.

Nearly 30 miles to the south of Mount Maxi, a large and brightly lit research facility is particularly eye-catching under the night.

This is a research base operated in the name of dark energy research jointly conducted by s.h.i.e.l.d., NASA and Pegasus engineering.

At this time, in a large laboratory located under the base, a bald middle-aged man in a plaid shirt was directing them to study the cosmic magic cube emitting a faint blue light.

"Hey! Be careful, I don't want to see the lab blow up again..."

"Inject energy, expand protection measures and minimize interference and radiation!"

…

If Leon were here, he would be able to identify himself as a bald middle-aged man: Eric shavig!

Since the New Mexico incident, the astrophysicist has been invited by Frey to the Divine Shield to study and develop the cosmic magic cube.

The appearance of Thor made Eric shavig more fascinated by mysteries.

Being able to study magic objects such as the cosmic cube at close range made him want to plunge into the research work immediately.

He even resigned his professorship in the University and moved directly into the research base!

Now, after months of tireless research day and night, Eric shavig's research team has made initial achievements

While the scientists were carefully operating on various instrument panels, an untimely voice sounded in shavig's ear:

"Dr. shavig, how's it going?"

Eric shavig turned around and saw Nick Frey, the director of s.h.i.e.l.d., who was always dressed in black.

When shavig saw Frey, he stepped forward, pointed to the cosmic magic cube fixed on the annular shelf, and explained, "it's going well."

"At present, we have preliminarily mastered how to stabilize the energy of the cosmic cube and conduct experimental manipulation. Next, as long as we further stabilize the energy of the cube and keep the energy peak at a certain value, we can enter the next stage of the experiment."

Hearing that everything was going well, Frey, who didn't know much about science, was also secretly relieved and immediately asked, "so, when can the second stage be started?"

Shavig glanced at the cosmic Rubik's cube emitting brilliant light all the time, flashed a trace of intoxication in his eyes, and continued to say:

"Chief, don't worry... We still need some time to deconstruct and analyze the energy weapons you sent last time. After that, we can start manufacturing prototypes..."

After chatting with shavig about the progress of the weaponization of the Rubik's cube, Frey turned his one eye and looked at the eagle eye who came to his side at some time.

"Agent Barton, keep an eye on the situation here. Don't let anyone except Dr. shavig's team approach the Rubik's cube."

"Yes, sir!"

After staying at the research base for a while, busy Frey took a helicopter and returned to Washington.

There are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with

。。。。。。

"I just went to the base. According to Dr. shavig's analysis, the research progress of the Rubik's cube is going well. It should enter the second stage soon."

"That's good. Once the second phase of development is completed, the tragedy of the New Mexico incident may not happen again..."

In a large conference room in the main building of the Trident headquarters, Frey, dressed in a black windbreaker, stood in front of five virtual projection screens and reported to the members of the World Security Council all over the world.

On the central screen is Gideon Malik, one of the hydra's leaders.

As a global intelligence agency, the Divine Shield Bureau has branches all over the world.

Because its law enforcement authority and scope are too extensive and its forces are too powerful, in order to prevent the Divine Shield bureau from interfering in the politics of other countries, governments around the world have established a World Security Council to supervise all kinds of actions of the Divine Shield Bureau.

In addition, the various appropriations and funds of the Divine Shield bureau are decided by the Security Council.

Of course, the research project of the cosmic Rubik's cube was carried out only with the consent of the Security Council.

Frey naturally has the obligation to report the progress of the project to these financiers

The research progress of the cosmic cube is only one of the agenda of Frey's meeting with the Security Council today.

Suddenly, with one eye, Frey looked at Gideon Malik on the central screen and said:

"You have discussed the avenger plan I handed in for a long time..."

The subtext of this sentence, obviously, is "can you do it, give me a correct word!"

Hearing the speech, the British representative of the Security Council, a middle-aged woman, pondered for a moment and then gave an answer:

"After a long discussion on this, we finally think that this Avenger plan does not meet our current needs."

"Therefore, the Council decided to stop the plan and put it on hold for the time being."

Frey was not surprised to hear this answer.

The butt determines the head. Different angles have different views.

From his point of view, this emergency team composed of people with extraordinary ability can respond quickly to all kinds of emergencies;

However, in the view of the Security Council, this is just Frey's selfish intention to set up a private armed force for the Divine Shield under the banner of "protecting world peace"

The Council has seen such a trick many times in the past decade.

Using various reasons or excuses to apply for appropriations and action funds from the Council has always been Frey's strength.

After all, the funds needed to set up an emergency team are not small.

Special transportation, right?

Weapons, equipment and even logistics teams?

It's never cheap to form an elite force

At this stage, they have invested a lot of resources and money in the development of the cosmic cube, and they are not willing to invest funds in a project that they think is of little use.

What's more, with the energy weapons derived from the cosmic cube, do you still need any emergency team?!

That is one of the reasons why the Security Council shelved the "Avenger plan".

At this time, Gideon Malik, who was on the central screen, followed the words of the British representative and continued:

"At this stage, we hope you will continue to focus on the development and research of the cosmic Rubik's cube. As long as we have the Rubik's cube weapons in the second stage, we don't need any Avengers, do you? Director Frey..."

Looking at Gideon Malik's dignified and slightly old face, Frey turned his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"I see..."
