Chapter 206 Activation
"Attention everyone, the evacuation order has been confirmed..."
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters, Tri-Wing Building.
A large number of researchers and agents began emergency evacuation amidst the sound of sirens.
"How bad is it?"
Arriving at the headquarters by helicopter, Nick Fury frowned and glanced at the evacuated crowd in front of him. Braving the strong wind caused by the helicopter's landing, he asked Agent Phil, who had arrived earlier.
Because the incident happened suddenly, Nick Fury only roughly knew from Agent Hill that something was wrong with the Cosmic Cube.
"Sir, the worst thing is precisely because of this." Taking off the sunglasses on his face, Agent Phil showed an obvious wry smile to Nick Fury: "We don't even know whether the incident is good or bad yet."
Taking the elevator to the laboratory at the bottom of the base, Agent Phil told Nick Fury the information he currently had: "Four hours ago, Dr. Eric Schavig detected The Rubik's Cube began to emit energy waves and continued to spread outwards. Considering the possible danger, we issued an emergency evacuation order..."
"Is it caused by Dr. Eric's experiment?"
After hearing Agent Phil's report, Nick Fury first thought of this possibility.
"Unfortunately, sir, that is not the case."
Shaking his head, Agent Phil's answer made Nick Fury's uneasiness deepen again.
"In fact, Dr. Eric Schavig himself was not even in the laboratory at the time, and everything was automatically triggered by the Rubik's Cube."
"Automatic trigger?"
Following behind, Agent Hill had a look of astonishment on his face when he heard Phil's words.
The Tesseract has been in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hands for some time, but it has never triggered automatically before.
"How long will it take before the people are completely evacuated?"
"It will take about half an hour."
"Hurry up."
After receiving the order, Agent Phil immediately accelerated the evacuation of personnel from the headquarters base.
Nick Fury and Agent Hill continued to walk towards the laboratory where the Cosmic Cube was located.
"Sir, evacuation may be in vain."
On the way, Agent Hill couldn't help but said: "If we cannot control the power of the Cosmic Cube, the damage it will cause will be enough to destroy the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters and surrounding areas hundreds of miles or even further away."
"So, we just stay put and wait for everything to happen." Faced with Agent Hill's concerns, Nick Fury's attitude was obviously more determined: "You go and ensure the safe transfer of the second-order prototype."
"Sir, at this point, do we still need to care about this?"
Obviously, Agent Hill was a little confused about Nick Fury's order. If the Tesseract exploded, neither the prototype nor they would be able to survive.
"Unless the world is destroyed, we have to follow the rules."
The second-stage prototype mentioned by Nick Fury actually refers to the Destroyer armor in New Mexico that was disintegrated by Li Ran using [Fantasy Killer] and a series of charged weapons seized from Hydra during World War II. S.H.I.E.L.D. intends to use these energies combined with the Cosmic Cube to develop weapons of mass destruction that can defend the Earth.
Who would have thought that before the weapon was fully designed, it was the Cosmic Cube as an energy source that had problems first.
…
"Tell me about the situation, Dr. Eric Schavig, how we ended up in this desperate situation."
Arriving at the laboratory, Nick Fury looked at the Cosmic Cube that was constantly flashing blue light in the center of the laboratory, and then asked.
"I don't know." With a vague light flashing in his eyes, Eric Shavig replied to Nick Fury who came over: "The Cosmic Cube suddenly started automatically and began to release powerful energy waves. We Every effort has been made to shut it down, but obviously the results are not ideal.”
"Have you tried turning the power off?"
"The Universe Rubik's Cube is originally an energy source.
Even if we turn off the instrument, it can start up again spontaneously. "
Turning his head and looking at the dazzling Cosmic Cube, Nick Fury suddenly said: "In fact, Dr. Eric Shavig is not exactly what we need, to use the power of the Rubik's Cube."
"But the problem is, we can't control the power of the Rubik's Cube."
Although Eric Shavig was controlled, it did not mean that his IQ also had problems. He clearly understood that activation and control were two completely different concepts.
"The energy of the Rubik's Cube is too powerful for us, and it is not easy to control it."
"It will happen sooner or later."
During World War II, the Red Skull was able to use the power of the Cosmic Cube to create weapons. Nick Fury didn't realize that SHIELD couldn't even compare to Hydra during World War II.
"Where's Clinton?" Nick Fury couldn't help but ask as he glanced at the laboratory in front of him.
The Cosmic Cube is a powerful weapon, and it is impossible for Nick Fury to hand it over to Eric Shavig for research without any precautions. In fact, a large number of SHIELD agents were deployed throughout the laboratory for surveillance, and Clinton was one of them.
"Hawkeye, he's staying up there."
Upon hearing Nick Fury's inquiry, Eric Shavig turned his head and pointed behind himself and replied.
"Agent Clinton, I arranged for you to come here because I hope you can look at the Cosmic Cube from a distance."
"Actually, I can see better from up high."
"So, did you see clearly what activated the Cosmic Cube?"
"No one entered, and there was no problem with Eric Schavig, nor was there any contact with the outside world or the transmission of information."
Frowning, Hawkeye Clinton glanced at the Cosmic Cube in front of him that was constantly emitting blue light, and expressed his guess: "Actually, sir, maybe our inference is wrong. The one who activated the Cosmic Cube may not be Aegis. This side of the bureau. According to records, the Cosmic Rubik's Cube is a passage to the other side of the universe, and aren't passages bidirectional?"
"Both directions?"
Hawkeye's words changed Nick Fury's expression.
As his words fell, Eric Shavig, who was standing by the computer behind him, suddenly had a hidden color in his eyes, and he pressed a button on the keyboard without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, Nick Fury saw a large amount of energy gathering around the Cosmic Cube in front of him, and then a blue channel exploded.
boom--
After a dazzling light, in the passage formed by the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, a figure holding a scepter gradually gathered and appeared in front of everyone.
