Chapter 337 He Is Actually Adopted

"He has an army called Chitauri. They don't belong to Asgard, or even any planet. Loki plans to lead them to attack the Earth, and the fastest way for his troops to reach the region is through the Cosmic Cube."

"So he wants to use the Cosmic Cube to open a portal and then teleport his army directly to our faces?"

Roddy rubbed his chin, and his eyes unconsciously looked at Lainie who was silent at the conference table.

"Then the reason why he kidnapped Dr. Selvig was actually to create a portal for him, so their purpose of seizing the metal iridium makes sense."

Dr. Banner's expression was still a little awkward. Even though he didn't care much about what Loki said to him just now, he still felt a little uncomfortable with so many people looking at him.

"Selvig?"

"Loki used some kind of magic to confuse his mind and captured him, and also took away one of our agents, Clint Barton."

Thor frowned and thought carefully in his mind for a long time before he matched the Clint Barton mentioned by Natasha with a certain Midgard archer in his impression.

"It doesn't matter what kind of magic it is. I just want to know how that madman used that scepter to easily turn my two capable men into obedient monkeys!"

"Hey! Listen, I hope you can be more respectful!"

Thor was very dissatisfied with Nick Fury's address to Loki just now.

"Although he is indeed unreasonable, he is an Asgardian and my brother!"

"But your good brother killed more than 80 people in two days."

"He was actually adopted..."

Laini, who had been silent all the time, finally stopped talking after hearing this famous scene, and laughed out loud.

"Heh~ Sorry, I couldn't help it, you guys continue."

Looking at everyone's eyes on her, Lainie quickly put away the smile on her face, dodged Thor's gaze and waved her hand to signal them to continue the discussion.

"Iridium metal can be used as a stabilizer, so that the new portal will not collapse like SHIELD, and it can be made larger and last longer according to Loki's needs."

Tony, who was sitting next to Lainie, fiddled with the holographic screen terminal in his hand, and showed everyone the experimental notes that Dr. Selvig had saved in the SHIELD database.

"Mr. Barton, as a SHIELD agent, can easily get the other materials they need. The French laboratory they invaded before is an example. At present, only a power source with high-density energy is needed to start the portal."

After hearing this, Mester glanced at Lainie and Tony. She seemed to have guessed something, but she didn't take the initiative to say anything.

She wanted to see if Lainie would realize this.

"Speaking of high-density energy sources... don't we have one here?"

Fitz frowned and hummed softly, but his words hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.

Everyone's eyes subconsciously looked at Nick Fury in the field, only Rhodey glanced at Tony.

Nick Fury's face turned pale, he suddenly understood the reason why Loki took the initiative to expose his identity, and he was used by this madman again!

"Pass my order! Seal the main power room of the mothership! No one can enter without my order!"

Looking at the solemn expressions on everyone's faces, Fitz realized that he seemed to have discovered the truth just now.

But the consequence of thinking it through was that Fitz regretted it, and hurriedly and carefully made amends:

"Well, I just mentioned it casually. There is more than one thermonuclear reactor in Stark Industries. Maybe... maybe... it might be a coincidence, don't you think so..."

"Even if it is a coincidence, we are fully prepared! Regardless of whether Loki's purpose of being captured is to use the thermonuclear reactor on the mothership to open the portal, as long as there is such a possibility, we can't let it happen!"

Captain America stood up from his seat. He planned to go to the main power room immediately and then guard there to prevent anyone from taking advantage of it.

As if they felt that they had discovered the truth, everyone was relieved, and they did not stop Captain America from leaving.

"I'll try to get some useful information from Loki."

Natasha couldn't stand Tony's eyes from time to time, and followed Captain America's footsteps and left the main control room together.

Tony pouted and turned to look at the rest of the people.

"The old man and the red-haired agent have left. There is no point in staying here. It's time to get down to business, Dr. Banner?"

Banner shrugged. He came here just to do this. He didn't really care about other things.

"Let's go together. I'm also interested in that scepter."

The show here has ended. Lainie has seen the famous scene she wanted to see the most. She plans to study the mind scepter.

...

"The gamma value of this thing is consistent with the value recorded in Dr. Selvig's research report on the Cosmic Cube. It seems that its energy source is indeed the Cosmic Cube."

"So, this is also a 084 weapon?"

Skye supported his chin with one hand, tilted his head and fiddled with the gadgets on the table idly.

In this laboratory, she is the one with the least understanding of thermonuclear physics. At the moment, apart from playing with various experimental equipment that she doesn't know what to do with, she can only serve tea and water to the big bosses.

"Unlike the energy core of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, the energy inside it is more solid. Obviously, this is not something that the original Hydras could produce."

Mestre slid his index finger across the holographic screen to enlarge the three-dimensional holographic image of the scepter, and then looked thoughtfully at the blue crystal stone emitting gleaming light at the head of the scepter.

She felt some kind of energy similar to the Rubik's Cube from it, and there seemed to be something strange hidden inside it.

"084? What is that?"

Dr. Banner was a little confused and thought it was some new substance that he didn't know about.

Leni simply took out the metal cube-shaped 084 energy core from the warehouse and placed it directly on the experimental table in front of Dr. Banner.

"This is the one we found in Libya. He came from Germany during World War II. In order to make full use of the Cosmic Cube, Hydra specially created this thing to drive certain large vehicles. But before they could put this thing into use If used, Germany surrenders."

Dr. Banner looked at the metal cube on the table that was faintly emitting blue light, and his eyes widened for a moment.

"You just carry it with you?"

"It's not a big problem. My space ability can completely block its gamma rays and won't affect me."

Leni shrugged. In fact, after several upgrades and absorption by the system, the energy level contained in this thing has long been depleted.

After hearing this, Dr. Banner put the gamma ray scanner in his hand on the 084 core and scanned it. In fact, as Leni said, its gamma value was basically at the same level as the scepter.

"Wait a minute, since your space ability can block gamma rays, why didn't you just put the Cosmic Cube or this scepter into space before?"

"No, I have tried. Whether it is the Cosmic Rubik's Cube or this scepter, their energy density is beyond my capabilities. My space cannot accommodate them at all."

Leni shook her head, feeling helpless about this.

In fact, a few days ago, when she was ordered to rush to SHIELD's secret experimental base, she had planned to simply store the Cosmic Cube in the warehouse.

However, the system did not even display the parsing progress bar at that time, and directly said to Leni:

[The current space technology authority is insufficient and cannot contain this item! 】

This is the first time Leni has seen this situation. Before, whether it was Tony's Mark armor or the 084 core, which is also a Rubik's Cube energy, except for the loading time of the progress bar being a little longer, she had never been reminded of this. kind of text.

Later, Leni thought that it would be enough to increase the space authority level, but she never expected that after catching Loki, she couldn't even fit the scepter into it.

After several attempts to no avail, Leni could only attribute it to the fact that the level of the Infinity Stones was too high and her warehouse could not temporarily hold them.
