Chapter 2120 The Ultimate New World (Twenty-Seven)
Steve sighed deeply.
It's really not that he has a stereotyped bias against scientific researchers, but there are indeed some people who can be said to be more successful than successful.
Steve learned from the person in charge that the cameras at two of the three exits of the particle laboratory were broken, and had been broken for half a year. This group of people could even set up a project to build the sun, but no one went there.
Repair the camera.
But Steve did not give up. He asked to see Dr. Otto's research information. The person in charge did not refuse and introduced it on the way to the laboratory.
"After Dr. Otto came to us, he continued to conduct research on his artificial sun project and integrated the results with our research, making quite a breakthrough."
Steve understood that this was just his cover-up. This experiment was an artificial sun project. There had been no progress for many years, but a major breakthrough had recently been made. This was most likely Otto's contribution.
"However, the development direction of Dr. Otto's artificial sun is different from ours. He hopes to maintain completely stable properties through one ignition, so he has been trying to find an ignition particle, and he seems to have made some breakthroughs recently."
Steve thought of what Otto and Peter said on the phone. It seemed that Otto had found this kind of particle and hurriedly asked Peter to take a look. However, after looking at it, the two disappeared.
There seemed to be nothing confidential about Otto's research results. Steve quickly obtained the information, but he couldn't understand it, so he had no choice but to send the information to Nick.
Nick found experts in nuclear physics, and finally concluded that Otto had found a mysterious factor in San Francisco that could become the perfect ignition particle for his artificial sun project. This factor has very magical properties, but the specifics
What its nature was, Otto did not record in detail.
Nick immediately called Steve and said: "Do you think the mysterious factor found by Dr. Otto is related to the mutation of San Francisco residents?"
Steve had obviously thought of this as well. Otto had only recently come to San Francisco. Before he came to San Francisco, he had not made much progress in the field of artificial suns, but he had made breakthroughs since he came.
The mysterious factors mentioned in his experimental data seem to have very strange properties, and the mutations that occurred in the residents of San Francisco are also miraculous.
Through the investigation information provided by SHIELD, Steve already knew that the mutations of San Francisco residents were not ugly and weird, but became more beautiful and stronger. He and Nick immediately related the emergence of this mutation to the so-called
The mysterious factors connect them together.
There has not been an outbreak of the Extremis virus in the universe where Schiller lives. This virus may have been developed, but it has never had a chance to cause trouble, and Nick has never seen it.
Although Nick knew from looking at the future timeline that this thing should have been put into the water source, he did not understand the nature of its existence and was not sure that it was a virus.
What if the virus is just a deception? It is very likely that what is really effective is some mysterious factor in the medicine.
Finally, all the clues pointed to Bai Can.
Nick speculated that the mysterious factor Otto was studying might be the virus that White Can put into the water source of San Francisco. In order to prevent his conspiracy from being exposed, White Can started killing people and silencing them.
But the situation was under Bai Can's control at that time. He knew that Spider-Man was also a superhero. If his death was unclear, it would inevitably arouse public opinion, so suicide would be the best way to die.
Nick took a deep breath, the anger in his chest burning.
November 12, Stark Industrial Park, San Francisco Bay Area, 8:00AM.
With a bang, the phone was thrown on the table. Pepper Potts turned to look at his subordinates with wide eyes and said: "What did you say? Our factory was questioned about illegal emissions, and agents from the California Bureau of Investigation have arrived?
!”
"What the hell are they doing?!" Xiaojiao gritted his teeth in disbelief and said, "We don't have any chemical industry here, and there is no sewage discharge at all. How can we discharge illegally?! Are their brains filled with water?!
"
Click, click, click, a series of heavy and rapid footsteps appeared outside the door. The California Bureau of Investigation agent knocked on the door, showed his ID to Little Pepper and said.
"Hello, Miss Pepper Potts, California Bureau of Investigation agent Trevor Andako, we have received a large number of reports that Stark's four factories in San Francisco illegally discharged sewage, causing water pollution and causing residents to mutate. Now our Bureau
Request relevant personnel to cooperate with the investigation, please.”
"Are you crazy?!" Pepper shouted in disbelief: "The Stark Group does not have any chemical plants on the West Coast, how can it possibly discharge sewage illegally?!"
"Metal smelting wastewater, madam, is suspected of containing excessive heavy metals and nuclear leakage."
Pepper's mouth was wide enough to hold an egg. She opened it, closed it, then opened it again and said, "That's ridiculous."
"Madam, we have sufficient evidence. Please allow me to ask you a question. Anthony Stark, the current actual controller of the Stark Group and the chief scientist of the Stark Group, has experienced symptoms of palladium poisoning.
Is it right?"
"Of course, but that's when he..."
"He used a brand-new element to create the Ark reactor and solved his own crisis. We now suspect that he commonly used reactors without safety testing in Stark Group's factories, resulting in some harmful elements.
leakage."
Pepper was completely stunned. She didn't understand how the two things were related, but the expressions of several subordinates behind her looked a little shaken.
For Pepper, who knew Tony Stark very well, this kind of thing was unimaginable, because Pepper knew very well that Stark's anxiety disorder gave him symptoms similar to persecutory paranoia, and he had no regard for the feasibility of technology.
He is very anxious about control. If there is a possibility that a technology cannot be controlled, he will definitely not use it. Therefore, it is impossible for him to use the technology of the Ark Reactor in ordinary factories.
But other people don’t see it that way. On the one hand, this technology is indeed very advanced. Ordinary people simply don’t understand the principle and don’t know what the safety factor is. On the other hand, from a common sense perspective, since this thing is so powerful, why not do it?
Why not use it on a large scale?
Pepper's heart dropped to the bottom. Once the technology of the Ark reactor was involved, Stark would definitely jump up as if his tail had been stepped on, and she couldn't stop him.
This kind of pure slander cannot be without reason. The best way to break the situation is not to use scientific testing to prove that they have not discharged illegally, but to ask relevant stakeholders to correct it. Simply put, it is to use political means.
But Stark would never allow anyone to say that his Ark reactor would leak, and he would definitely do everything possible to prove that his technology was perfect.
A pure trap, Pepper thought. The other party must know Tony Stark very well, otherwise it would be impossible to create such a perfect game.
Suddenly, Pepper saw the notebook on the table flicker in the reflection of the glass.
When Pepper turned around, there was nothing there. At this moment, her phone vibrated, and a text message sent from an unknown network number appeared on the screen of her phone. It was a program.
As if he remembered something, Pepper immediately said a few perfunctory words to the California Bureau of Investigation agents, hurried to Stark's office and found his special computer.
Then bring up the program running box, type in the content sent by the text message, and press the Enter key, a video appears in the center of the screen.
"Pepper, I'm glad you found me." It was Stark's face that appeared in the center of the screen. He said: "Just now, I woke up and I learned that I am your backup Tony Stark.
Awareness, your wisdom and decisiveness are always so appreciated by me.”
"Listen, Pepper, we may be running out of time. I found the one in the Stark Tower database that is now active in the real world. I am studying the Extremis virus created by Maya Hansen. He modified it.
Make it more viral and powerful.”
"The most fatal thing is that I found in the research diary written by Stark that he has a need to experiment with this virus. From what I know about myself, I am afraid he has already done so."
"How is that possible? Tony!" Pepper couldn't believe it at all. She shook her head and said, "Why would he release the virus? Is this of any benefit to us and the Stark Group? Biochemistry and medicine are not the same thing at all.
Tucker Group’s main source of profit.”
"Maybe he wants to expand his profit channels." Stark sighed and said: "In short, there is something very wrong with the Stark you are facing now. I am searching for more evidence in the database and trying to control the war.
A, you'd better hold him back and pay attention to safety, Pepper."
When the video ended, Pepper hammered the table hard, bit her lip, straightened up, and took a deep breath.
After hearing the footsteps, she looked up and found a California Bureau of Investigation agent standing outside the door looking at her.
Pepper thought, it turned out that this was not a frame-up at all, but a conspiracy exposed. But as the CEO of Stark Group, could she say that she was unaware of it? I'm afraid no one would believe it.
Pepper's brain was spinning rapidly, and soon she regained her composure and walked firmly towards the agent.
San Francisco, Silicon Valley, 7:20AM.
Bruce took Elsa out of the car, and the two of them sneaked around the side wall of the building, and Elsa bit off the lock on the back door in one bite.
The two of them sneaked along the wall into the building's campus. Under Aisha's guidance, the two of them avoided the surveillance cameras, slipped into the building as quickly as possible, and took the public elevator to the information company.
of the computer room.
Aisha immediately started operating on the computer. Bruce walked to the window and looked down along the window on the 22nd floor. The morning rush hour had not yet arrived, and there were not many vehicles on the street at this time.
Suddenly, a police car with a siren rushed out from the corner of the street. Bruce squinted his eyes because he recognized it as a California Bureau of Investigation car. Looking in the direction of the vehicle, Bruce saw Stark Industries on the skyline.
Buildings in the park.
"Are you okay? Elsa." Bruce asked.
"It's almost time. It's not difficult to release Stark's backup consciousness." Elsa took a deep breath, and the tight time made her speak much more fluently. She continued: "But the current one must be released.
The evidence of the evil Stark is before him."
"Wait a minute." Bruce said with some confusion: "If you haven't released that backup consciousness and haven't shown him the evidence, then why did the California Bureau of Investigation go to Stark Park? Someone called the police before us.
Already?"
"Okay, it's done." Elsa jumped off the chair and said: "Iron Man has been released, Osborn is next, let's go."
Bruce quickly picked up Elsa. It was almost time to go to work, and bustling footsteps could be heard in the corridor. Following Elsa's guidance, Bruce avoided the flow of people and successfully returned to the car.
Bruce stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove away from the street as quickly as possible, and headed towards the suburbs in the direction of the morning rush hour. The obvious destination was the Osborne Medical Experimental Center.
Just as the car drove onto the highway, both Bruce and Elsa noticed that the car windows were covered with a thin layer of fog.
A cold mist that doesn't belong here floats on the highway in the early morning on the usually warm and balmy West Coast.
I have a headache every day and my brain is hot. Please pay attention to your health.
