Marvel: Spear Bureau Technical Advisor

In the laboratory, the conversation between the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the weapon technology experts continued.

The explanation made by Dr. Fitz just fits Nick Fury's previous conjecture: this new electromagnetic rifle is indeed the product of two playboys singing a double reed.Meanwhile, Fury had another thought in mind, but the city's deepest black chief didn't show it at all.

"In other words, if we have an Ark reactor, we can imitate this weapon?"

"Well... it must be a miniature reactor after shrinking, the kind that Mr. Stark puts on his chest." Fitz emphasized it again.

Mr. Director almost couldn't help rolling his eyes: "Of course I know it's the miniaturized one. Could it be that you will match each rifle with a container truck so that you can pull the nuclear reactor around?"

"Of course, sir...no, I mean...of course I wouldn't do that, sir." The stammering doctor's eyes suddenly lit up, "Sir, you... just said that we also have an Ark reactor, right?"

"Of course not!" Nick Fury stared at Dr. Fitz with his only eyeball rounded, wondering where this treasure came from; "That's a hypothetical question! Hypothetical, do you understand?"

The young doctor was taken aback, and the expression on his face became more and more pitiful.

"Of course, I get it... I mean, I'm sorry, sir. Actually, even if there were... I mean, even if we had an Ark reactor, maybe... no, there's a good chance we wouldn't be able to make an electromagnetic rifle .”

"Why?" Nick Fury's eyeballs widened.

"Because we don't have the materials to make gun bodies and bullets." When he entered his professional field, Dr. Fitz immediately spoke fluently; "You know, electromagnetic pulse is basically a kind of high-power microwave, and the generation of microwave Oscillations from the magnetic field; the more violent the magnetic field oscillates, the more the microwaves..."

"STOP, STOP, STOP!" Nick Fury yelled to stop, "I don't know what the principle of electromagnetic pulse is, and I don't know what magnetic field oscillation is; I just want you to tell me how long you need, How much money is needed to make the required raw materials?"

Dr. Fitz's mind went blank under the almost hysterical questioning of the black chief; he opened his mouth, and it took him a while to regain his ability to speak: "I... I don't know; maybe... forever—"

"Forever? What do you mean forever?"

"James Zion is the most outstanding material science expert in the world." Dr. Fitz faced Mr. Director's stare as if he wanted to eat people, and defended himself, "Many of the high-end materials released by the Five Elements Laboratory can only be made by them. — they don’t even need to apply for a patent a lot of the time.”

If Nick Fury had the opportunity to communicate with Obadiah Stein, maybe he would hear such a story from the old Stan: Tony Stark took a bunch of broken parts in a cave in Afghanistan and found something All the engineers in Stark Industries cannot imitate it.

Because they're not Tony Stark.

Dr. Fitz's words may not be so straightforward, but the meaning is the same: only James Zion can make these special materials.

Fortunately, Nick Fury finally knew that technical problems could not be solved by getting angry and ordering to die; he patiently listened to the technical department's explanation.

Fortunately, although the young Dr. Fitz strayed far from the topic from time to time, he also used a very simple analogy to clarify the technological gap between SHIELD and the Five Elements Laboratory.

"The military actually already has similar weapons that can emit microwaves, but their weapons are larger than the Tomahawk cruise missiles, and the output power is not as good as the two warheads we discovered this time. If the military weapons want to achieve these two The power of the warhead must be made bigger, and in the end it is likely to be bigger than the Scud missile."

"In other words, James Zion successfully reduced a device the size of a cruise missile to the size of a household dry battery. The technical difficulty may be similar to Stark's reduction of the Ark reactor prototype."

After all, in a word: our technical department can't make this thing.

Finally, Dr. Fitz asked cheekily: Can you help me get two tickets to the Stark Industries Expo?He wanted to observe the actual electromagnetic pulse rifle on the spot.

Nick Furilli ignored the clown, turned around and left.

Unlike Dr. Fitz who always focused on technical issues, Nick Fury's focus extended to the psychological level early on.He had some guesses about the purpose of making the electromagnetic rifle forward, and as Dr. Fitz's explanation became more detailed, his guess got more and more corroboration.

Nick Fury, who returned to the office, immediately called Qiangqian.

Unsurprisingly, Forward didn't pick up.

After three consecutive no-answers, Mr. Bureau Chief held back his anger; he thought for a while, and called another colleague who also had the title of Bureau Chief.

Fortunately, there was no rejection this time, and the other party quickly picked it up.

"Hello, Chief Zheng; I'm Nick Fury."

The voice on the other side was soft and calm: "Hi. I've been thinking these days, when will you call me."

"You knew I would make this call?" Nick Fury frowned; for a person with a strong desire to control, the most disgusting thing is being manipulated by others.Zheng Xian's words made him feel very bad.

Zheng Xian smiled softly: "Yes; Xiangqian told me when he came back from Monaco that you will definitely call me to discuss the matter of the electromagnetic pulse rifle."

Zheng Xian's words were still polite, and Xiang Qiang's original words were: "As long as that black brat's brain is not broken, he will definitely wag his tail and make us smile."

Nick Fury felt even worse. On the phone side, his face was extremely gloomy: "So, those two bullets are the messages he deliberately left for me."

"That's right, that little bastard, he's been full of ghost ideas since he was a child; no, he hid himself far away, but left the trouble on me." Zheng Xian took out the special words used by parents to praise their children "Forget it, let's not talk about him; let's get down to business, since Director Fury made this call, it means that you have figured it out, right?"

Although Nick Fury didn't know what Versailles was, the smugness on the other end of the phone was so clear and undisguised, which made his black face even harder to look.

"Of course, I understand very well; the electromagnetic rifle is not only a weapon against Iron Man's armor, but also a warning to the US government and military." Nick Fury said in a low tone.

Yes, that's a warning.Taking out this new weapon forward is to warn the US government and military not to think about Tony Stark's Mark armor, let alone try to deploy Mark armor on a large scale.

Nick Fury figured it out when he listened to the report in the technical department; once the U.S. military gets the technology and installs the Mark armor, it will sell the electromagnetic pulse rifle all over the world, and even sell it at a loss-making price of cabbage. The anti-American armed forces are well-managed.

By that time, not only will the expensive Mark armor become waste, but it will also completely subvert the combat mode of all modern armies.

Is the EMP Rifle used against Iron Man's armor?Indeed!

Can EMP rifles only be used against Iron Man armor?Absolutely not!

All equipment with a large number of integrated electronic systems are the targets of this new weapon; including but not limited to armed helicopters, on-board electronic systems of various armored vehicles, communication and command systems in various military forces, radar systems, etc.

Counting the armies of all countries in the world, who has the most electronic equipment and relies on electronic systems the most during combat?

Even high-altitude and high-speed jet aircraft will face the direct threat of electromagnetic pulse rifles when they take off and land; after all, rifles are always more accurate and farther than RPGs, and one hit can destroy fighters with a high probability Flight control and fire control systems.

When the Somali Black Hawks fell, if the local warlords were not holding RPGs but this electromagnetic rifle, as many Black Hawks as they came, they would have to fall.No matter how strong the Black Hawk is, if the flight control system is knocked out, it will become a dead Hawk.

It is not impossible to counter pulse weapons, just add an electromagnetic protection layer to the existing large weapons and equipment.

Estimate the strength of the protective layer according to the performance parameters of the electromagnetic pulse rifle, and then calculate the large-scale equipment stock in active service in the United States; probably let the US Congress approve an additional several trillion military expenditures to complete all equipment transformation.

To put it bluntly, going forward is threatening the US military: If you really want to engage in an arms race, then get ready to do it big.

However, Nick Fury still has a question: "It's just that I don't understand, why are you looking for me? The Wude Group has publicly displayed this weapon at Stark Expo; I believe that those you want to warn already know The existence of this weapon."

Unlike Director S.H.I.E.L.D.'s anger, Director Spear's mood is relaxed.

"Because we need to be sure that the warnings issued are effective." Zheng Xian said, "We all know that the public power system in the United States has a very serious sectarianism, and they often go their own way. The White House can't be sure whether the military is doing what it wants. The Army doesn't know what the Air Force is doing. It's time to tear yourself apart, and the Navy doesn't know where the Marines have gone."

The director of the Spear Bureau is worried about the chaotic system of the friendly countries: "Take this incident as an example; maybe the president will take our warning seriously, but he can't guarantee that the military will not engage in small actions in private; maybe the military will Aware of the subversive effect brought by electromagnetic rifles, but there is no way to make the laymen in Congress who only count votes understand the seriousness of the situation."

"This is a problem caused by the system." Zheng Xian concluded.

Nick Fury rolled his eyes and listened to the long speech of his Chinese colleagues. He asked angrily: "Then what do you want me to do? Change this system?"

Unexpectedly, the relaxed tone on the other end of the phone was followed by a serious response: "Are you willing to do this?"

"Director Zheng, we are discussing a serious and practical issue." Nick Fury vaguely understood how Xiangqian's bad personality was formed.

When I was a child, I was surrounded by people like Tony Stark or Zheng Xian, and it would be hell if I could learn well.

"Okay, let's get back to the actual problem." Zheng Xian's serious tone only lasted for a short while, "We hope that Director Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. can help us to ensure that the warning we issued is effective."

Zheng Xian's meaning is very clear, use the pervasive intelligence capabilities of SHIELD to monitor all agencies that have plans for Mark's armor.

"You mean, let S.H.I.E.L.D. serve China's interests?" Nick Fury felt in a trance that he was talking to a psychopath.

Zheng Xian is not crazy, but very logical: "Didn't Director Fury always emphasize: Is S.H.I.E.L.D. an international organization? Of course international organizations should fight for the well-being of the world. To stop the proliferation of Mark's armor technology is actually to stop A potential arms race on a global scale - everything we do is not for ourselves, but for world peace."

Nick Fury was extremely convinced that the ability to open his eyes and tell lies was learned from the Chief of the Spear.

However, one of Zheng Xian's nonsense is correct: S.H.I.E.L.D. is an international organization—even though its headquarters is in the United States, its interests are not completely consistent with the official interests of the United States.

It is in the S.H.I.E.L.D.’s own interests to maintain the current world pattern and avoid the intensification of major power struggles or even a return to the Cold War era.

The current S.H.I.E.L.D. is an agency directly under the World Security Council; but in the Cold War era, S.H.I.E.L.D.’s predecessor, the Strategic Science Corps, did not have the detached status of S.H.I.E.L.D. today.

"Your country's military is also undergoing informatization transformation. Don't you yourself worry about the consequences of the proliferation of pulse weapons?"

Zheng Xian said slowly: "First of all, we have not sent troops all over the world, so we don't have so many enemies; secondly, if the US military is allowed to deploy Mark armor on a large scale, and we have no countermeasures, the consequences will not be Is it worse? I heard that Director Fury has done some research on Chinese culture, and you don’t understand the principle of choosing the lesser of two evils.”

"How can I trust you?" Nick Fury did not change his suspicious nature, "Maybe one day in the future, Tony Stark kept Mark's armor technology, but you actively spread pulse weapons?"

"Director Fury, you should first understand a fact: Whether it is to spread Mark armor first or to spread pulse weapons first, it means starting a global arms race." Zheng Xian said solemnly, "That is something we try our best to avoid."

I don't know if it was Zheng Xian's last sentence that moved Nick Fury. Director SHIELD was silent on the phone for a long time, and Director Shenlance on the other end also remained patient.

"Without column mark armor, there would be no proliferation of pulse weapons, right?"

"Not only that, but also the Russian who appeared a few days ago; he also has core technology similar to Mark's armor."

"Yes, the agreement can also include Ivan Vanke's technology. However, can I think that currently only the Five Elements Laboratory can manufacture individual pulse weapons?"

"Indeed. Qianqian has given assurances that he will take full responsibility for any technology proliferation that occurs."

"He seemed overly confident."

"In the field of research and development of new high-end materials, he is indeed confidently qualified."

"Humph...James Zion is really a good friend;" After the deal was finished, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. also relaxed a little, and he couldn't help but talk a few idle words before hanging up the phone; "For Tony Stark, I am willing to bear So much liability risk."

"Although this matter is not just because of the personal friendship between the two of them, but... Xiangqian is indeed a very suitable person to be friends, provided you can get his approval." Zheng Xian also responded easily, and said Here, he also remembered the long-ago story.

"Back then, you exchanged interests with the CIA and let go of the direct instigator who killed Qianqian's parents, so you completely cut off the possibility of gaining Qianqian friendship. Looking back, the intelligence benefits you obtained at the beginning seem to be far away. Can't compare to the loss caused by it..."
