In the original plot of "Avengers 1", when faced with questions from the Avengers, Nick Fury once said this - the reason why he launched research on cosmic imitation with the intention of using the power of the Rubik's Cube to develop destructive weapons, It's because when Thor, the god of thunder, came to the earth, he caused a huge turmoil that was impossible to fight with human power. In other words, in order to cope with similar situations that may arise in the future, he put his mind on the Cosmic Cube and restarted its development and research.

At that time, everyone in the Avengers did not accept Nick Fury's explanation and felt that he was making excuses for his behavior.

Many viewers, including many who have watched the original movie, have the same view and think that what Nick Fury said was false.

actually not.

If you look at the past timeline and sort out what happened in the past, you can easily come to a conclusion.

When did SHIELD get the Cosmic Cube? Unlike Captain America, who has never been found, that thing was discovered early when Howard Stark launched the search and rescue operation.

In other words, the Cosmic Cube has been in the hands of SHIELD for at least several decades.

So, over the years, how much research has SHIELD conducted on the Cosmic Cube? Putting aside the small actions of Howard Stark in private, the arrangements led by S.H.I.E.L.D. or official American organizations can probably be counted on the 'Pegasus Project' of the 1970s and 1980s.

Combined with the nature of the 'Pegasus Project' itself... that project was launched during the Cold War with the purpose of enhancing the development of space and suppressing Lao Maozi from a strategic perspective. Although in general terms it is no different from an arms race, looking at the specifics, it does not actually involve weapons development.

In other words, if S.H.I.E.L.D. really harbors the idea of ​​"using the Cosmic Cube to develop new weapons," it has had many hands-on opportunities over the years, and there is no need to wait until the plot of "Thor 1" begins before establishing a project.

Therefore, Nick Fury's answer when faced with questions is actually quite honest. It is not just an excuse to cover up as the Avengers and the audience imagined.

And now...

Although Thor, the God of Thunder, was exiled to the earth as in the original plot, he was exiled much earlier due to the butterfly effect caused by Shi Xiaolei's fluttering moth.

Odin did not fall into a deep sleep, and Loki did not receive severe stimulation like in the original plot. He was obsessed with killing Thor... The Destroyer was not activated, let alone sent to the earth by him, without Thor and destruction. The battle between the two made Nick Fury's impression of the Asgardians very different from the original plot.

Hela, who came to the earth early, and Thor who came later, or the four Asgardians who came to visit relatives and friends later, all behaved very docilely and did not do anything that made people wary. The escaped convict Lorelei did cause some trouble, but judging from the size of the situation, it wasn't that serious... From Nick Fury's perspective, he didn't feel that the Asgardians were very dangerous. , naturally, they would not think of developing the Cosmic Cube to create weapons against them.

What's more, Shi Xiaolei's family is still here.

Although they have never fought side by side, their identification with Shi Xiaolei's family is not as full of trust as when they look at Captain Marvel. However, through contacts in the past two or three years, SHIELD has determined Shi Xiaolei's position and knows that he is one of his own who stands on the side of the earth.

In addition, we have already formed a cooperative relationship, and occasionally we will act together...

What would you think if you put yourself in Nick Fury's shoes? Even if Hela, Thor and other Asgardians wanted to cause trouble, he would prioritize Shi Xiaolei's family and move him out as a reinforcement.

To put it bluntly, Shi Xiaolei's family has long become the 'exploitable objects' in Nick Fury's eyes, also known as chess pieces.

With this family here, why worry about the Asgardians causing trouble? To be honest, from Nick Fury's point of view, there is really no need to stare at the Cosmic Cube and use it to develop new weapons.

Some people may want to ask, since there is no wrong idea, then it is better to keep the Cosmic Cube in the warehouse. Why bother to move it from the previous warehouse to this place in the deep mountains and forests of northern Maine? Come to the secret base?

The reason is actually very simple.

Some time ago, Lorelei escaped from prison and came to Earth, causing some minor chaos.

Although on the surface it seemed that the situation was quickly under control and did not cause much disturbance, secretly, it caused a long series of chain reactions - in order to create greater noise to divert Nick Fury's attention. In order to use his strength, Alexander Pierce sacrificed himself and sent four Winter Soldiers at once, intending to let them "cooperate" with Lorelai and help her stir up trouble. As a result, this plan did not succeed. The four Winter Soldiers were stopped outside the secret base by Shi Xiaolei and others who arrived in time, and they were unable to catch up with Lorelei...

A powerful and good card, just so gray, not even a sound was heard. One can imagine how depressed Alexander Pierce was.

What made him even more uncomfortable was what came next.

The location of the secret base and Lorelei's existence are extremely confidential matters. Even within SHIELD, few people know about it. It happened that under this premise, the Winter Soldiers appeared outside the base where Lorelei was imprisoned...

It would be really strange if Nick Fury wasn't suspicious.

In this way, the speculation that "there are still residual spies inside that have not been cleared up" emerged again. After Lorelei was brought back to Asgard, Nick Fury once again quietly launched an attack on S.H.I.E.L.D. Internal inventory.

For the remnants of Hydra, headed by Alexander Pierce, hidden within S.H.I.E.L.D., this round of more detailed investigation is tantamount to disaster.

How to deal with it?

Alexander Pierce's choice was to abandon his car and save his coach.

To put it simply, it means abandoning a group of people and letting them muddy the water at the cost of their lives.

Or they suddenly rebelled while performing field missions; or they colluded with external forces and revealed internal information that should be kept strictly confidential; or they launched a raid on a secret warehouse that contained some confidential items, namely 084 items. Because of Hydra's desperate struggle, many abnormal situations have occurred within SHIELD in recent times. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a turmoil.

The situation was so chaotic that Nick Fury had to be extremely alert.

In this way, in order to avoid a more serious situation, he sent his confidant Coulson and ordered him to personally take charge of transferring a batch of important items, including the Cosmic Cube, from the original warehouse to a more secluded secret base. Inside.
