The era of American comics begins

Chapter 104 Helicarrier
Director Phil Coulson has a very foreboding feeling.

It has been a year and a half since he took over S.H.I.E.L.D. from Fury. After going through all kinds of hardships, the S.H.I.E.L.D. in Coulson's hands now finally shows signs of a bright future.

In the past year, the newly-born S.H.I.E.L.D. has experienced many things, but to pick the most important one, it may be the complete disintegration of their deadly enemy Hydra.This incident really made Coulson heave a long sigh of relief. Only when the last remaining sparks of Hydra were completely extinguished, did he finally feel that he had lived up to Fury's entrustment and completed it with honor. This task of cleaning up the remnants.

At the same time, S.H.I.E.L.D. itself has never stopped developing and recovering.Their agents began to increase gradually, and the scope of their influence was becoming wider and wider.Soon they went from not having even a single Quinjet fighter to having a fighter formation again, and they regained the stealth technology that was exclusive to Aegis.

Coulson even managed to get his hands on one of the only helicarriers left.When the mothership was successfully lifted into the air, Director Coulson stood on the deck of the mothership facing the howling wind, and let the wind blow his tie flutteringly in the wind, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

Sure enough, only the Aegis with the Helicarrier is truly complete.

The part that excited Coulson the most was that they had reconnected with Captain Steve Rogers and had the help of the legendary superhero in many operations.

Although Captain America has participated in the mission of SHIELD in the past, he himself has always been displeased with the style of SHIELD.However, when Coulson asked him for help again on behalf of the new SHIELD, he agreed.

Because although he doesn't like SHIELD, he is more optimistic about Agent Coulson.He felt that the agent had a loyal and enthusiastic heart and was a trustworthy person. As a friend, he was willing to help the SHIELD under the leadership of Coulson.

Just like this time.It's just that this time he didn't come to solve the existing problems for Aegis, this time he came to prevent the troubles that might arise soon.

Coulson led the way, leading the captain quickly through the corridor and into the laboratory set up in the mothership.Walking into the busy room, the blue cube resting on the metal support in the central part immediately catches the eye.It was a dark blue cube, lingering with smoky energy, and the deep blue light flowed in this small square frame, as if there was an entire condensed ocean in it.

"I recognize it." Captain Rogers frowned.

"'Cosmic Rubik's Cube'." Coulson nodded, and introduced, "In your era, this is what the Red Skull held. It has a huge energy that cannot be measured. When we salvage you, we also salvage Out of this."

Rogers stared at the cube, showing displeasure.

"You should have left it in the water," he said.

"But anyway, here it is now," Coulson said, "Fury was hoping to analyze its energy and try to weaponize it, but after Aegis became what it is now, I shut down the project During that period, a lot of hazmat in SHIELD was confiscated to various agencies, but the cube was preserved by us. I have kept it carefully locked in the hazmat locker until now."

Rogers crossed his arms: "You also decided to use it to develop something dangerous?"

"Me? No, not at all." Coulson waved his hands again and again, then turned to the cube with a somewhat unsightly expression, "No one touched it, it suddenly activated by itself in the basement."

"Activate by itself? You mean it can press its own switch?"

"It's not like it hasn't happened before. There was one time when Fury was studying it, and that time someone on the other side of the universe used this thing to open a door, and then an invulnerable lunatic with a long gun emerged from the other side , killed several of our agents."

Rogers raised an eyebrow.

"And now a similar phenomenon has appeared again, and my people are working hard on how to stop it." Coulson said, "But in case we don't succeed, some crazy alien comes here through it." side."

"You want me to stop him." Rogers understood.

"You're the best soldier," Coulson said. "You're our trump card, Captain."

Rogers nodded: "I'll do my best."

Two young men in white coats, a man and a woman, walked over from the laboratory.Leon Fitz and Gemma Simmons, currently the two best scientists under Coulson, are also the heads of the laboratory.

Fitz looked a little nervous, and deliberately waved to the captain as he approached.

"With regards to this 'Universal Cube,'" he said, "Jemma and I think this time should be different from last time."

"What's the difference?"

"The last time the opponent was able to open it from the other side, it should be because they have tools in their hands that are extremely close to the energy properties of the Rubik's Cube and can interact with each other." Simmons continued, "And Fitz and I think that this time the opponent is not Without similar tools, they couldn't just activate the Rubik's Cube from the other side and open the portal to come here."

Coulson asked, "Then why does the Rubik's Cube start by itself?"

The two young men looked at each other.

"I think someone sent some kind of search signal this time, sir." Fitz said, "The other party sent a signal message that happens to have a frequency similar to the tiny amount of gamma energy released by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube itself, and the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is like a signal Transceiver. It will automatically activate when it receives a signal, and then send a reply on the same frequency in the direction the other party came from. It’s like.”

"It's like GPS positioning!" Simmons took up the conversation again, "The gamma rays emitted by the magic direction into the depths of the universe are like a navigation map clearly marked by GPS, which will directly lead the other party to our precise coordinates."

Coulson blinked.

"Are you saying that some alien has received a signal from the Rubik's Cube and is probably on his way?"

The two looked at each other again.

"I think that's an optimistic estimate," Fitz said.

Coulson felt more and more bad: "What about the unoptimistic estimate?"

Fitz took a deep breath: "...I think there might be an alien army on the way, sir."

Coulson showed a ghostly expression.

Unfortunately, the alarm on the mothership sounded at this time.

Coulson was taken aback.So fast?They just talked about aliens and here they come?

Several people left the laboratory and returned to the command center as quickly as possible.They had just entered the door when the three uninvited guests crashed through the ceiling and fell into the command room.

All the agents drew their guns reflexively, and dozens of guns on the entire bridge were aimed at the three people who broke in.

"Long time no see, Agent Coulson. Take it easy and ask your men to put down their guns. I'm sorry we didn't come out because of the time limit," Tony stepped forward and beckoned to Coulson, "but I promise to pay for everything Ah, Captain!" He then waved to the captain again, "Hi, I'm sure we're still meeting for the first time."

Captain America put down the shield he was holding: "Mr. Stark."

Coulson felt dizzy.

He felt that ominous premonition seemed to grow stronger.
