Plug-in Players In Marvel

No two shells will fall in the same crater in succession.

Perhaps it was because he remembered this law that among the many alternative bases, Nick Fury finally chose the secret base that had been damaged in the battle not long ago due to the 'Lorelai Incident'.

Well, it may also be because the base's external defense facilities were severely damaged in the battle... If you choose another place, you have to dismantle the original facilities before upgrading them to a stronger style, but in Here, the remaining wreckage must be demolished anyway. On this basis, starting a new one will not only save a lot of trouble, but also reduce the financial expenditure.

"Director, something happened here." After the phone signal was connected, Coulson reported to Nick Fury very seriously: "I think you need to take a look at this."

Without Coulson's command, the technician had already cut the surveillance screen to the big screen, connected to the network at the same time, and transmitted it to Nick Fury on the other end of the signal.

"..., when did it start?" The clarity of the picture taken through the monitor was indeed a bit poor, but it was enough for Nick Fury to see the anomaly of the Cosmic Cube.

"Just now." As he answered, Colson raised his hand and looked at his watch: "To be precise, it was three minutes and fifteen seconds ago."

"Did anyone get close to it before this abnormal situation occurred?"

"No." Coulson replied confidently: "No one approached, and there was no collision. It just happened suddenly."

"Boss, its energy index has increased again!" At this moment, the agent responsible for monitoring the data shouted again.

After hearing this report, Nick Fury's expression on the other end of the phone became more serious.

More than twenty years ago, when he was still young, he was Captain Marvel's comrade-in-arms and experienced that thrilling event with her. Although the Cosmic Cube did not really demonstrate its power during that incident, as one of the witnesses, Nick Fury still knew a lot of inside information.

Looking through the entire S.H.I.E.L.D., no, it should be said that among "everyone" including the remnants of Hydra, no one knows more about the mystery of the Cosmic Cube than Nick Fury.

And no one takes it more seriously than Nick Fury.

"Continue to pay attention, I will come over now." Not daring to be careless at all, Nick Fury made a decision immediately.

"yes."

After ending the communication with Coulson, Nick Fury immediately issued an order to summon several scientists who were 'working' in the logistics equipment development department of the headquarters. In only seven or eight minutes, he led the group of scientists onto the Quinjet and rushed as quickly as possible to the secret base deep in Maine.

Along the way, Nick Fury had a lot of random thoughts.

However, due to some concerns, he finally chose to 'bear with it for a while' and did not directly contact Shi Xiaolei or Stark to ask them for help in plundering the formation.

Almost an hour and a half later, Nick Fury and his team arrived at the secret base.

"Director."

"How's the situation?" Without any pause, Nick Fury passed Coulson in two steps and walked quickly into the base.

Scientists in white coats followed one after another.

"The situation is quite stable, I mean, its energy index is still rising, just like before." Following in the footsteps of Nick Fury, Coulson said with some worry: "If this continues, to be honest, I I'm really worried that it will explode."

"Still continuing to rise?"

"Yes. Compared with when it contacted you before, its energy index has increased five times."

While they were talking, the group of people had arrived at the warehouse where the Cosmic Cube was stored.

Without Nick Fury having to say anything, the scientists who came with him immediately took out various instruments and tested the Cosmic Cube that was emitting blue light.

After all, it was more professional, and it was also because the scientific research equipment brought over was more high-end than what was already in the base. After a while, the scientists had already observed some details that had not been discovered before.

"Director." Coming to Nick Fury's side, the white-haired scientist reported very seriously: "According to our detection, it is emitting a signal. It's a bit like sonar or radar, one every half minute. , the error does not exceed one thousandth of a millisecond.”

"Signal?"

"Yes. With the existing equipment, it is not possible to specifically analyze the nature of this signal. However, based on my many years of experience, I think it is now in a semi-activated state. To put it simply, it is similar to the safety being released. Lock, a warhead that can be triggered by the last signal."

"You mean... it could explode at any time?" Nick Fury's one eye flashed with warning, and his expression became more serious.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." The scientist nodded: "To be more precise, it is an energy shock of unknown nature."

"What about the power? If it 'explodes', it..."

"You definitely don't want to see that kind of result." Before Nick Fury finished asking, the scientist had already given the answer: "Even if its energy index no longer increases, based on the current reading...emmm, The power should be no less than a 10,000-ton nuclear bomb.”

With the development of the times, nuclear technology has also made rapid progress.

Nuclear warheads installed on intercontinental missiles often start with an equivalent of 100,000 tons, and the most powerful ones can even reach tens of millions of tons. For example, among the batch of nuclear bombs currently in Maozi's arsenal, some have a yield of 50 million tons.

Compared to those big guys, the commotion caused by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube seems to be nothing.

But if we change the reference object and taste it again...

The two nuclear bombs that ended World War II, namely the two nuclear bombs named "Little Boy" and "Fat Man" dropped by the Americans on the island countries of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, had a yield of only 12,500 tons.

In other words, if the Cosmic Cube explodes with the current energy readings, its power will only be slightly inferior to the original 'little boy' and 'fat man'.

What's more, the Cosmic Cube is stored in a warehouse, and the warehouse is underground.

Friends who used firecrackers to explode cans when they were children know that the more closed the environment, the greater the damage caused after detonation.

"..." The four words "I'll choke you" floated through his mind. A thin layer of sweat broke out on the back of Nick Fury's dark head, and countless sweat appeared on his arms hidden under his leather jacket. Goosebumps.

"Is there any way to evacuate? I mean, like discharging floodwaters into the waterways..."

Just as Nick Fury asked the scientist, the Cosmic Cube suddenly flashed more than ten meters away.
