Chapter 131: My First Mission Is to Find Captain America...

"Is that all?"

Laini followed Melinda's instructions and switched the Quinjet from manual control to autopilot, then looked at Mei.

"Well, you are now capable of completing ordinary flight missions on your own, just practice taking off and landing once (million) times."

Noticing the words that Melinda could emphasize, Lainie chuckled.

"Understand."

Just now, Lainie's own strong learning ability allowed her to learn how to operate the Quinjet in a short period of time.

This made Skye, who had been sitting behind her and watching from beginning to end, dumbfounded.

She just listened to it all the way out of curiosity, and then she listened all the way.

"You learned it after listening once?"

Skye gently touched Lainie's arm and asked in disbelief.

"Such a complicated thing, you..."

Laini turned her head back in a daze, meeting the strange looks of the scientific team members behind her.

"Uh... is it that difficult?"

Fitz and Simmons looked at each other and did not respond to Lainie's words.

Instead, they pretended not to notice this and discussed various laws of physics.

"Remember the first law of thermodynamics? The universe does not create new energy..."

"Old energy will not disappear. But I think..."

Mester picked up the tablet and kept swiping on it, and then "communicated" with Coulson beside him in an incomprehensible language.

I don't know if Coulson can understand it, but he nodded seriously and said, "Yes, no problem."

"Obviously, I'm not the only one who thinks it's difficult to drive this thing."

Skye shrugged. She also saw the performance of everyone, which made her sure of one thing.

That is, Lainie's talent is so strong that it's abnormal.

Melinda smiled slightly, but it quickly disappeared.

"It is expected that we will reach the Arctic Circle in more than an hour. I have contacted the captain of the Polaris, Colonel Atef Morgan, and we will spend the next few months on his ship."

Coulson pulled over the operational display on the cabin bulkhead, which showed their current position and speed.

Lainie unfastened her seat belt, took out a tablet from the void and connected it to the onboard computer.

Then she reached out and swiped her hand on the tablet, and Lainie took control of the display.

"For this mission, we first need to go to this area in northern Canada for a search. Although the Russian expedition has almost searched it, we should go there and scan it with the equipment for safety reasons."

The equipment Lainie was talking about was actually a large metal detector prepared by the Science Department of SHIELD specifically for Coulson's investigation team.

It has now been installed on the bottom of the Quinjet. All they need to do is turn it on and fly the fighter low over the ice.

The system will automatically scan whether there are large metal objects under the ice. Although the exploration depth is not as deep as that of the big guy installed on the Polaris.

But for Lainie and others, this is enough.

"After that, we will go to Colonel Morgan's Polaris before 6pm and land on his icebreaker."

Calling up the information about the Polaris and all its crew members, Lainie said seriously:

"Our operation this time is announced to the outside world to go to the Arctic to find the pilot of the missing SHIELD plane and salvage the crashed fighter plane."

Send an obviously fake mission briefing to other people's personal terminals, indicating that everyone should memorize it as soon as possible.

"The captain of the Polaris knows the purpose of our operation, and he is also a member of our SHIELD."

Laini once again projected a SHIELD encrypted agent information on the big screen, which showed the detailed information of Colonel Atef Morgan.

"As for the other crew members, they are all military personnel. Due to our relationship with the military, everyone should pay attention during the mission."

At this point, Lainie looked at Skye, who was a little confused.

"I'm talking to you, Skye. Don't make any trouble for me. You can do whatever you want on the plane, but be more restrained on the ship."

Skye, whose name was called, was a little confused and pointed at himself.

"Wait a minute! If this mission is a fake mission, then what is our real mission? To subvert this icebreaker?"

Faced with Skye's confused face and Coulson's suspicious look.

Laini coughed dryly and pretended that she hadn't finished speaking.

"I was just about to say this. This operation is actually to find and salvage a World War II German fighter plane that is suspected to have crashed in the Arctic.

If we are lucky, maybe we can find the war hero who once led the Allies to defeat Germany-Mr. Steve Rogers."

A newspaper with the time of Captain America's disappearance clearly marked on the big screen was brought up, and the bright big words on it clearly showed a time.

March 5, 1945.

"Steve Rogers is..."

Skye felt that the name sounded familiar, and when he saw a large picture of Rogers printed on the newspaper, he remembered who this person was.

"Captain America???"

Skye stood up from his seat in surprise, looking at Coulson in disbelief.

"So... Captain America's story is true?"

After receiving a nod of affirmation from the other party, Skye slowly sat back in his seat.

"My first mission... is to find this war hero?"

Ignoring the guy's mumbling, Lainie stretched out her hand and drew a straight line on the tablet.

"Based on the intelligence we have previously obtained, combined with the location of the wreckage of the plane this time, we can roughly get such a flight route."

This route is based on the location when Mr. Howard Stark salvaged the Cosmic Cube many years ago, connecting the location of the newly acquired aircraft fuselage wreckage.

It has a certain degree of credibility, but it does not mean that Captain America's plane must have crashed on this route.

So Lainie drew another circle around the route, which seems to cover almost one-third of the area of ​​the Arctic ice cap.

"We need to search along this route, and the final approximate range is about this."

Coulson looked at the huge circle and was a little speechless. According to this range, three months might not be enough...

"Hey! Don't be stressed, this range is just a rough estimate. I believe we can complete the task quickly."

After a light cough, he signaled Fitz, who was hesitant to speak, not to be too serious, and clapped his hands.

"In short, this mission requires us to face the severe cold and polar daylight in the next three months alone, and we also need to ensure our personal safety. After all, this is not the hibernation period for polar bears."

Skye was still a little confused. What exactly did SHIELD hide?

If Captain America really exists, then doesn't the legendary Red Skull also exist?

What about Hydra...
