Several of them hit a local chemical plant, causing a leak of poison gas and causing hallucinations among local residents.

It has nothing to do with ghosts, aliens or anything like that.

The local government also revealed that this unexpected disaster caused the deaths of at least 12,000 innocent people. Please let us stand up and mourn for the victims and their families.

Now that the White House Office and Congress have approved special relief funds, I believe it won't be long before the disaster victims in Jackson will be able to return home and start a new life.

May God bless them.

In addition, many legislators in various states have recently come forward to advocate the restoration of the death penalty so that those bastards who have committed heinous crimes can pay the price for their actions instead of continuing to spend their remaining years in prison.

Among them, Congressman Mance's words were the most radical, and he even revised some criminal laws, hoping that all criminals above the second degree murder level would be executed.

The proposal has sparked fierce protests from the black and Latino communities, but white and Asian communities have expressed strong support.

The two sides have already engaged in violent fighting during demonstrations in many cities, resulting in at least 30 deaths and more than 500 injuries.

To avoid the escalation of the conflict, Congressman Mans, who advocates the restoration of the death penalty, will hold a televised debate with the protest group that firmly supports the abolition of the death penalty.

The time is set for next Friday at 8 o'clock in the evening.

Our station will broadcast the entire event live, so please stay tuned..."

As the news report on the electronic screen ended and commercials began to be inserted, Tony Stark simply turned it off and said sarcastically with a disdainful tone: "Meteor shower attack? Hallucinogenic poison gas? The lies you made up are really bad. But I'm curious, how did you keep so many witnesses silent?"

"We have nearly 40,000 witnesses who signed confidentiality agreements and promised to pay each of them an additional $50,000 in hush money."

Nick Fury gave a straightforward answer.

Don't ever think that $50,000 is too little for hush money.

In fact, for most ordinary people and lower-class people who have trouble coming up with thousands of dollars at one time, this is already a veritable "huge sum of money."

In some neighborhoods with extremely high crime rates, one could hire a killer for just a few thousand or even ten thousand dollars.

What's more, SHIELD is a powerful organization authorized by the Security Council. After all kinds of threats and intimidation, it would be strange if those witnesses dared to speak out.

After all, they had witnessed with their own eyes the horrific scene of the cursed creatures slaughtering people indiscriminately.

And because of the failure of electronic equipment, no one successfully captured video footage of the incident.

This is also one of the key factors in being able to cover up the past.

"So you want to get me now? Make me shut up too?"

Tony raised his chin slightly with a provocative expression.

He is not one of those poor people who would sign a so-called confidentiality agreement for just a few tens of thousands of dollars, and he is not afraid of any powerful government departments.

After all, the shareholders and legal department of Stark Industries are not here to sit around and do nothing.

Long before Iron Man's identity was revealed, the U.S. government and military have been wanting to obtain this epoch-making weapon.

But what is the result?

Although some stakeholders did cause quite a stir due to their instigation, it ultimately did not cause any major waves.

To put it bluntly, Tony Stark is a member of the ruling class of this country and a representative of a powerful capital group. Even the government and the military cannot use some tricks to seize and plunder, and can only play within the rules.

Otherwise, if it were someone who had no money and power, all kinds of dark and cruel means would have been used.

In this regard, Bruce Banner, the Hulk who has been hiding under an assumed name and evading pursuit, has the most say.

Looking at the hostile Iron Man in front of him, Nick Fury suddenly smiled and shook his head: "No, I'm not here to tell you to shut up, but to invite you to join. Here are two authorization documents, one issued by the US government and the other issued by the UN Security Council. The earth and mankind now need wisdom and intelligence."

"An invitation? Oh—shit!"

Tony was stunned when he saw the contents of the document.

Because he had confirmed the authenticity of the two documents in an instant, and also understood Balthazar's true identity.

Nick Fury was obviously very satisfied with the other party's reaction at the moment, and deliberately put on an unfathomable look and said: "I believe you have witnessed with your own eyes how terrifying the supernatural power that cannot be explained by science is.

I also witnessed the amazing destructive power unleashed by Mr. Balthazar in battle.

Our world is becoming increasingly dangerous and uncontrollable, and all kinds of previously unimaginable crises may strike one after another.

In this era that is about to go out of control, human civilization must unite if it wants to continue.

Therefore, the Security Council authorized us to recruit elite professionals from around the world to ensure that the most urgently needed knowledge and technology can be obtained in a timely manner in subsequent negotiations and transactions.

And you are one of them.

Now, I formally invite you to become a special consultant to the Bureau and a member of the Avengers Project."

"So you knew Balthazar's identity from the beginning, and that there was an unimaginable huge force behind him?" Tony narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively.

Nick Fury nodded slightly: "Yes, we knew it from the beginning.

The other party had no intention of hiding anything, nor did he have any need to hide anything.

Because the gap between them and us is so huge, if they want to destroy us, they don't need to be sneaky.

Do you think the technology of the iron armor you are wearing is very advanced?

No one will be able to crack it for at least a few years to a dozen years?

Don't be so arrogant!

Why do you think the military and government suddenly stopped their previous series of actions? Were they afraid? No! The real reason was that they saw something better and stronger. "

As he spoke, the bald director directly opened his mobile phone and displayed all the dozens of large and small power mechas of the Human Empire that he had previously photographed, as well as the different types of combat suits of the Titanium Clan.

Not only that!

He also displayed the space battleships, macro cannons, light spears, orbital attack arrays, and other giants that were measured in kilometers and far exceeded the earth's technology.

It goes without saying that this black-hearted guy is deliberately undermining Iron Man's confidence, wanting to take this opportunity to completely shock him and then use him for his own benefit.

Unfortunately, Nick Fury obviously miscalculated.

After a brief shock, Tony Stark quickly entered into his role as a genius scientist and used the artificial intelligence butler Jarvis to analyze the weapons and equipment on the screen. He didn't listen to what was being said in the second half at all.

After several minutes, he finally came out of his concentrated state and commented directly: "Although it is not clear what the performance of the creation in the picture is, it is basically certain that the technological level is at least two or three hundred years ahead of us. I am very curious about what the earth and humans have to pay for the other side to produce such knowledge and technology."

"That's not your concern. All you have to do is evaluate each piece of weaponry in your area of ​​expertise and analyze the technology it may contain. If you're willing, sign your name on the document."

Nick Fury pointed to the lower right corner of the two documents on the table.

“What happens if I don’t sign?”

Tony had obviously been attracted to her, but he pretended to be uncooperative and asked back.

Nick Fury threatened calmly: “That place will be excluded.

No matter how powerful Stark Industries' current technological reserves are, it won't be long before it begins to lag behind or even be eliminated.

Especially the cold fusion technology you master is nothing compared to those reactors that can drive super-giant battleships to travel at faster than the speed of light.

As for the power mechas, any model here can beat you to a pulp."

"Are you threatening me?"

Iron Man is obviously the kind of person who responds to soft words and not hard ones, and he immediately showed signs of wanting to turn against the opponent.

But Nick Fury, who is good at guessing and exploiting other people's character weaknesses, immediately changed the subject and started playing the emotional card.

"You know what?

Your father, Howard Stark, was actually one of the founders of the Strategic Scientific Corps, the predecessor of the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Agency.

So I always have very high expectations for you and hope that you can shoulder the responsibility like Howard.

But you obviously disappointed everyone.

Up to now, you have not even been able to solve the problem of palladium poisoning in your body, and later on you showed a tendency to give up on yourself. "

"Damn it! How do you know about palladium poisoning?"

Tony stood up from his chair.

You have to know that he has never mentioned this matter to anyone except Jarvis.

"Come on, it's not hard to guess. Do you think you can hide it from everyone? Now, I'm going to give you your father's belongings, so that you won't start to commit suicide again in a few months."

As he spoke, Nick Fury waved to Coulson who was standing in the corner.

Without saying a word, the latter brought over the model of the 1974 Stark Industrial Exposition and placed it on the table with a bang.

"This is……"

Tony was stunned, obviously not understanding what the other party meant.

Nick Fury said calmly: "Your father once said that this is the key to the future, and it is also the most precious gift he can leave you. I think with your intelligence, it should be easy to find out the secret, isn't it?"

As these words came out of his mouth, Iron Man seemed to understand something instantly, and immediately gave the artificial intelligence butler an order to scan it.

When the huge projection appeared in front of him, he immediately realized that it seemed to be a primitive structural diagram.

After simply removing irrelevant decorations, an element that had never appeared on Earth finally appeared in front of everyone present.

Nick Fury was obviously surprised that Tony was able to figure out the truth so quickly.

However, he did not show it on his face, but asked expressionlessly: "How about it, do you understand now what a great and outstanding person Howard is?

Don't think that what you have achieved is remarkable.

You are far behind him.

Now please give me a clear answer.

Do you want to join or not?"

"Of course!"

Tony answered in the affirmative without hesitation, quickly picked up the pen and signed his name on the two documents, then raised his head and asked impatiently: "When do we leave?"

"Right now."

Nick Fury stood up from his chair, walked straight to the floor-to-ceiling window outside, and activated the signal generator that Balthazar gave him.

The next second...

Bang! Crash!

I saw a huge stone giant mage appear out of nowhere and crush the floor-to-ceiling window glass.

"Gift Crab!"

The sudden situation almost gave Tony a heart attack. He backed away repeatedly until he hit the wall, and his pupils were dilated to the extreme due to tension and fear.

After all, anyone would be frightened if they suddenly saw a huge monster appear in front of them, not to mention a stone giant, a fantasy creature that only exists in myths, legends, movies, and games.

Seeing his panic, Nick Fury couldn't help but reveal a hint of pride, and said in a casual manner: "Hurry up and catch up. You should know that the rest of the people are here except you."

"What? Now? Don't you give me any time to prepare?"

Tony lowered his head and glanced at his casual home clothes, his face full of disbelief.

"Don't you think you are the greatest genius of our time? Why do you need time to prepare? Okay, stop wasting time on nonsense."

After that, Nick Fury ignored Iron Man's reaction and directly signaled the Stone Giant Planeswalker that he could start teleporting.

Before Tony Stark could protest, he saw a blue light curtain covering his eyes.

moment!

I felt dizzy and disoriented, as if I was being thrown into a huge washing machine and being madly stirred.

When I returned to normal, I had fallen to the ground with a thud. My head felt like it had been on a roller coaster for days and nights. I couldn't keep my body balance at all. I tried to stand up several times but failed in the end. I could only lie on the ground and retched.

However, Nick Fury and Coulson, who were teleported normally, did not encounter such a situation at all.

Especially the former with a smirk on his face, it was obvious that he deliberately let the stone giant planeswalker teach the always arrogant Iron Man a small lesson.

After about a few minutes, Tony finally recovered from the severe dizziness and found himself in another place, surrounded by hundreds of humans from Earth.

Many of them are top experts in their respective fields, and I have had dealings and cooperation with them before.

Just as he was about to step forward and say hello, a red, fully transformed Hellfire Demon covered in metal slowly walked out of the central building of the huge cyberpunk city.

His terrifying appearance and the [aura of fear] that he emitted unintentionally, instantly struck everyone's soul like a heavy hammer.

For a moment, all the people from Earth couldn't help but feel a strong sense of awe and fear in their hearts.

Some of the weak-willed guys almost knelt down and expressed their submission to the terrible monster in front of them.

Obviously, this is the terrifying crushing effect that legendary creatures like the Hellfire have on ordinary people.

It would even only take him a few days to turn all these elites from Earth into his obedient subordinates and servants.

"Please come in, the Lord is waiting for you."

The Hell Devil bowed very gracefully, and then made a gesture of invitation under the gaze of countless eyes.

“Thank…thank you!”

A representative sent by the Security Council nodded tremblingly, then led the way into the building in a very stiff posture.

As a result, as soon as I entered the door, I saw the alien insect demons who were the personal guards of the lord of the ninth level of Baator Hell.

These advanced demons, which were more bizarre, abstract, and eerie in appearance, instantly caused everyone present to suffer cardiac and respiratory arrest.

Moreover, other kinds of demons that kept coming in and out to report on their work also frightened these ordinary people who had no power at all.

"What on earth is this place?"

Tony grabbed Nick Fury's sleeve and demanded.

"This is Baator Hell, and those horrible creatures you see are the demons in the legend.

And what we are going to meet now is the ruler who rules here, a powerful and terrifying demon.

Remember, put away your annoying bad temper.

We are here to sign a contract in exchange for each other's protection, as well as personal knowledge and technology.

If anything goes wrong because of your problem, then you will become a sinner to the entire earth and humanity."

After giving the warning, Director Ludan immediately followed the Hell Demon into the huge elevator.

When everyone got on, this sci-fi elevator began to accelerate and rise at a very fast speed.

Because the outer wall is made of transparent glass, these humans from Earth can clearly see the colorful night view of the huge cyberpunk city outside, as well as the indulgent lives of hundreds of millions of residents and visitors.

If it were any other time, they would definitely not mind taking this opportunity to observe this place a little more, which might be the place where their souls would go after death.

Even though I know this terrible monster will not hurt me.

Even the air was filled with a depression that could not be described in words.

Fortunately, this state lasted less than five minutes.

With a ding-dong sound, the elevator finally reached the top floor.

When the tightly closed door opened, everyone saw a luxurious scene that they would never forget.

I saw a long corridor that looked like a palace, filled with dazzling light. From the ground to the walls, to the ceiling and the huge pillars above, all were made of the most precious and rarest magical metals.

It is densely engraved with countless runes and patterns, and inlaid with tens of millions and billions of gems of various colors.

There is no doubt that this is obviously not just to show off wealth, but a powerful magic defense system including traps.

Anyone who breaks in without permission will completely dissipate along with his body and soul within a few seconds.

Those paintings, statues, reliefs, etc., which appear to be decorations but are actually cursed objects and alchemical creations, are all made by masters without exception.

Some members of the delegation who had an appreciation for art immediately took out their equipment and began recording and taking photos crazily.

But unfortunately, all of this behavior is meaningless.

Because of the interference of magic, all photos and videos will ultimately only show a very blurry and distorted messy pattern.

The Hell Demon undoubtedly knew this, so he did not stop these humans from doing strange things. He took the lead and walked straight through the corridor, opened the door and entered the palace hall. He knelt on one knee and reported to the figure on the throne: "Great Prince of Hell, the supreme ruler of the Ninth Plane, your servants have brought the people here as instructed."

"Very good, you can go do other things now."

Zuo Si waved his hand gently to signal his devils to go away, and turned his gaze to Nick Fury and Tony Stark standing in the crowd.

Similarly, the latter two were also secretly looking at him and the succubus queen Mecanthus who was standing on the left side of the throne.

After more than ten seconds, the representative sent by the Security Council, upon the reminder of his assistant, mustered up his strength, took the initiative to step forward, placed one hand on his chest and bowed deeply.

"Your Excellency Soth, thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to meet with us. Please allow me to express my most sincere respect and greetings to you on behalf of all human beings on Earth."

"Let's stop with the boring small talk and greetings and get straight to the point. Are you ready to sign a magical contract with me that has strong binding force?" Zuo Si asked directly.

他原本觉得以地球上普遍臃肿低效的官僚系统，像这种事情怎么也得折腾一年半载才能有结果。

可谁想到这一次对方的反应速度居然出奇的快。

估计是被之前邪教搞出来的诅咒生物吓得不轻。

毕竟这玩意跟能被子弹和炮弹打死外星人不同，常规武器对其压根就没有一丁点作用。

更要命的是还会使现代社会极为依赖的电子设备失效。

“当然，这也正是我们此行的目的。不过关于具体的细节仍旧需要磋商一下。”

代表小心翼翼选择自己的用词。

外交官出身的他非常担心自己会因为用词不当而导致激怒对方。

凭借思维和记忆探知，左思轻而易举搞清楚了对方的想法，直截了当回应道：“不必那么麻烦。我已经给你们准备好了一份契约和清单，如果没问题的话就在上边签字吧。”

话音刚落，一个足有十几米长的巨大卷轴凭空出现，直接摊开摆放在地面上供在场所有人观看。

至于里边的内容，无非就是规定了地球每年需要支付多少个单位的灵魂来换取保护，以及不同程度罪恶灵魂的价值，还有可兑换知识和技术的价码。

在魔鬼们严谨的条款下，整个契约压根没有一丁点漏洞和空子可钻。

几名特地邀请来的顶级法律人士来来回回研究了半天，愣是没能找到任何可以进行修改的地方。

最终无奈之下他们只能如实汇报。

在确认契约没有任何问题之后，安理会派出的代表掏出笔在地狱契约上签下了自己的名字。

瞬间！

巨大的卷轴突然漂浮到半空并燃起熊熊大火，最终化作余烬随风飘散。

感受到自己已经与漫威宇宙的地球产生了密切的联系，左思满意的点了点头，对正满怀期待站在原地的代表说道：“契约已经生效了，现在你们可以尝试着送一些灵魂过来。”

“额……您的意思是让我们回去处决一些犯人？”

代表用不是很确定的语气问。

“不用那么麻烦，直接打电话就好。因为我已经帮你们打通了两个世界的联系。”

说罢，左思勾了勾手指，直接让对方的手机从口袋里飞出来稳稳的落在掌心。

代表仅仅瞥了一眼就发现手机上的信号居然是满格的，顿时露出了无比震惊的表情，但很快便反应过来拨通了其中一个号码。

短短几句话的沟通过后，地球那边十几个国家便在几乎同一时间处决了超过一万名穷凶极恶的死刑犯。

而他们死后的灵魂也全部根据刚才签署的契约，一股脑被送到了巨大赛博朋克城市的入口。

由于之前并不知道死后的世界是什么样子，因此这些家伙刚开始的时候明显非常的慌张，甚至出现了想要逃跑的情况。

但很快就被巡逻的魔鬼抓了回来。

不过这种情况随着拿到合法身份证明进入巨大赛博朋克城市内，态度一下子就来了个一百八十度的大转弯。

意识到死后依旧可以享受麻醉类药物、暴力、性、酒精和美食后，所有的死刑犯都开始了肆无忌惮的狂欢。

他们甚至连一秒钟都没有犹豫就纷纷加入了各种帮派和组织，继续生前那种腐朽堕落的生活。

当然，这些画面全部都被展示在了来自地球的人类代表眼前。

“所以……这就是地狱的生活？看起来似乎还不赖。”

憋了半天没出声的托尼·史塔克忍不住吐槽了一句。

在他看来让这群该死的人渣过上如此幸福美好的生活简直就是对那些受害者最大的不公平。

尤其是热衷于参加各种派对、与形形色色的美女发生亲密关系的他，显然非常喜欢这座超巨型城市种类繁多的娱乐。

不管是那些令人肾上腺素飙升的死亡道具赛车，还是多如牛毛的夜店和服务场所，又或者是那些宛如古罗马角斗士表演一样的血腥厮杀。

如果不是还有任务在身甚至都想立马去亲身体验一下。

左思没有理会这位钢铁侠，直接把一个像是计数器一样的东西丢给了位于王座下方的安理会代表。

后者稳稳的接住，看着上边那一连串正在不断跳动增加的数字，一脸疑惑的问：“这是什么？”

“是用来统计从你们世界进入到地狱的灵魂价值。换而言之，它就相当于一个数字钱包，你可以用它来购买清单上的任何东西。”左思漫不经心的回答道。

“现在就可以？！”

代表两眼瞬间放光。

“是的，现在就可以。

不过记得在每年年底的时候预留出足够的余额，我会在每年最后一天午夜十二点的时候扣除相应的费用。

好了，我还有其他的事情要去处理，今天的会面就到此为止吧。

如果有什么需要，可以直接跟魅魔女王美坎修特说。

哦，对了，差点忘记我还给你们准备了一件小礼物。”

说着，左思从旁边桌子上拿起了一个巴掌大小外形如同炮弹一样的东西，随手丢给了站在不远处的卤蛋局长。

虽然尼克·弗瑞不知道这玩意究竟是什么，还是迅速举起双手接住，结果发现它有与看上去截然不同的沉重分量，下意识试探道：“这该不会是一枚特殊的炮弹吧？”

左思微笑着点了点头：“差不多吧。它的名字叫做旋风鱼雷，是另外一个宇宙银河系人类帝国所制造的灭绝性武器。

往往只需要一枚，就能在行星表面引发毁灭性的灾难。

或是产生核子烈焰、或是释放出原生电浆，反正能在极短时间内将整个星球的大气层烧毁、把海洋煮沸成蒸汽，最后只留下光秃秃的石头。

这一枚旋风鱼类原本有一艘战舰那么大，但为了减少被拦截的可能性，我通过魔法将它缩小到了可以随身携带的程度。

我想有了这个，你应该可以稍微有点安全感了。

毕竟有了它，地球就有了足够的威慑力，不是吗？”

听到这番话，尼克·弗瑞浑身上下瞬间被汗水浸透，差点一哆嗦直接给扔出去，内心之中更是一连骂了几十遍“妈惹法克”。

无他，实在是太他妈的吓人了！ 卤蛋局长简直不敢相信，像这种大杀器对方居然像丢一枚硬币一样丢给了自己。

这要是刚才没接住不小心引爆了，在场怕是没几个能活下来。

同样的，尼克·弗瑞也给左思贴上了疯狂、危险且充满恶趣味的标签。

不过差点被吓尿裤子的并不只有他一个，在场其他人的反应也都差不多。

尤其是距离最近的托尼·史塔克，几乎在第一时间就命令贾维斯对旋风鱼雷做了一个全身扫描，结果发现这玩意里边塞满了威力惊人的反物质。

一旦被引爆，波及范围绝对能造成灭世级别的恐怖灾难。

别说是星球地表，就是地下上千米都不见得能有什么升空活下来。

与旋风鱼雷比起来，地球人类引以为傲的氢弹简直连个弟弟都算不上。

“怎么样，喜欢我送给你们的小礼物吗？”左思似笑非笑的问。

“当……当然！非常感谢您的慷慨，有了这颗旋风鱼雷，任何外星势力想要入侵地球都需要考虑一下可能的报复。”

尼克·弗瑞一边在心里骂娘，一边强行挤出一丝笑容，并且脱下外套把手里这个危险的武器层层包裹起来。

如果不是没有随身携带保险箱，他绝对会直接锁进保险箱里。

“棒极了，你们喜欢就好。

我个人建议你们可以多兑换一点这玩意。

尤其是能钻入地心深处直接连带行星一起引爆的特殊型号——双极鱼雷，威力绝对能让所有见过的人印象深刻。

除此之外，我还强力推荐另外一种特殊型号——大气焚化鱼雷。

它能让整个星球在烈焰下焚烧几个月乃至几年之久，直至整个星球表面都被烧成玻璃。”

左思兴致勃勃向这些代表推荐了一下战锤宇宙人类帝国用来执行灭绝令的大杀器。

要知道旋风鱼雷这玩意可是规定了一个星区最多不得保留超过两枚，而且只有审判庭和阿斯塔特修士才有使用的资格，由此可见其威力的恐怖程度。

即便在人类帝国漫长的历史中，使用过的记录也是屈指可数。

左思倒是相当期待看到漫威宇宙的地球人拿着这玩意去对付那些发动入侵的外星人。

可以预见，场面一定会非常非常的壮观。

就这样用旋风鱼雷戏弄了一下卤蛋局长，左思很快便打了个响指从王座上消失。

代表团的人则跟随魅魔女王美坎修特来到属于她的附属位面。

这里是整个巴托地狱中科技水平最高、工业生产能力最强的地方，一眼望去统统都是全自动的流水线。

Looking at countless human Empire power mechas and Titanium multi-functional combat suits coming off the production line, Tony Stark even had a strong sense of unreality.

Especially some models of the latter, whether in terms of defense, mobility or firepower, are many times stronger than his own iron armor.

Some of them can even briefly travel at sublight speeds.

In addition, the unique synthetic material of ceramic steel armor has also attracted the interest of many people.

The two US military representatives were eager to buy all the good stuff immediately and take it back.

In this way, they can form a space fleet and start interstellar colonization in a short period of time.

It’s a pity that ideals are full and reality is skeletal.

Looking at the pitiful balance on hand, at best one or two items can be purchased. Every expert claims that the technology related to his or her field is the most important.

As expected, they started arguing.

"I think we should give priority to purchasing mature nuclear fusion reactors. With this, the earth will have unlimited energy, which is the most important thing."

"You're talking nonsense! Stark Industries has already invented cold fusion. Nuclear fusion reactors are no longer the most urgent thing. What we need is a hyperdrive. With this, humans can officially start the dream of conquering the stars and the sea."

"Faster-than-light engine? Didn't you see the price list? That thing is simply not affordable at this stage. I think it's better to develop biomedicine now. Whether it's anesthetics that can quickly satisfy human desires and calm restless emotions, or drugs that can cure terminal illnesses and prolong life, they can greatly alleviate the increasingly intense social contradictions."

"Genetic modification technology is still the most reliable. Remember the superhero Captain America during World War II? Now there is a safer and more stable Astartes modification that can turn ordinary soldiers into beings more powerful than Captain America."

"What a bullshit superhero, real weapons are real. I think we should exchange those powerful high-energy weapons technology. With it, we can even have a fair fight with aliens."

…

When dozens of experts gathered together to debate, Nick Fury came to Iron Man and asked in a half-joking tone: "Great genius, what do you think about this matter?"

"If I were to choose, I would definitely choose this ceramic steel armor and manufacturing technology. Because this thing is not only resistant to high temperatures and corrosion, but also has incredibly high hardness and toughness, and has a wide variety of uses. From protective armor to the outer shell of spacecraft to the core parts of various machines, it can be used in almost everything."

Tony evaluated the small piece of ceramic steel armor in his hand from a professional perspective.

After all, materials science belongs to basic science.

And progress in basic science is often the slowest.

It remains to be seen when humans will discover a material with similar properties to ceramic steel through trial and error.

But if we take over ceramic steel now, other fields will also be revitalized like never before because of the rapid development of materials science.

"Okay, I think I see what you mean."

Nick Fury nodded slightly, then walked straight to the Security Council representative and whispered a few words in his ear, and soon the quarrel was forcibly ended.

The representative even directly expressed to the Succubus Queen Mecanthus that he wanted to exchange all of Taogang's technologies.

In this way, the first exchange between the two parties was successfully completed.

As for the rest, the Security Council representatives followed the plan proposed by Director Lu Dan and exchanged some magic-related books and teaching materials, and they were translated into English versions.

In the end, they returned to Earth with these two things they exchanged for their souls.

Nick Fury, in particular, almost immediately hid the cyclone torpedo in his hand into a triple safe. At the same time, he ordered SHIELD to conduct a round of intelligence tests from top to bottom, and gathered all the smart people to start learning magic.

Although this operation sounds ridiculous, he actually did it.

After all, compared to recruiting young people from outside, it is far less reassuring to directly use our own people.

But what Nick Fury didn't know was that almost one-third of those loyal SHIELD agents who were willing to risk their lives for him were already Hydra members.

The reason why he behaves so outstandingly regardless of danger on weekdays is that he wants to climb up quickly so that he can completely replace SHIELD from the inside.

At that time, SHIELD will directly become S.H.I.E.L.D., which is perfect.

In the end, more than half of the fifty people on the first list were Hydra members, and the other small half were real SHIELD agents.

What's even more ironic is that the cyclone torpedo and magic book, which Nick Fury regarded as top secret, appeared on Alexander Pierce's desk not long after...
