Chapter 321 If You Had Listened to Me, This Wouldn’t Have Happened!
It seems to be based on the design of the Ark Reactor. The Cosmic Cube experimental facility in the center of the experimental area looks very much like the original Ark Reactor in "Iron Man 1". In the center of the circular ring structure is placed a The cosmic cube at the core of energy.
What was slightly different from what Leni saw when she first came in was that the Cosmic Cube, which was originally emitting a faint blue light, was becoming brighter and brighter to the naked eye at this moment.
Buzz!
With a buzzing sound, the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, whose energy had reached its peak, suddenly poured out a light blue pulse in all directions, covering the entire experimental area almost in the blink of an eye.
【bite! Strong space energy has been detected, and the system is about to undergo an independent upgrade! Please ask the host to move closer to the energy source to maintain the system's energy intake progress. The estimated time is 5 minutes! 】
【bite! Space energy is being absorbed, the current progress is... 1%]
Leni was stunned, system upgrade? Didn’t you just get an upgrade a few days ago?
Getting closer to the energy source...let me get closer to the Cosmic Rubik's Cube?
However, before Leni could think about it, another wave of energy pulses followed in the next second, and the light blue energy light wave spread to the entire test area again.
Without any time to think, Leni suddenly took a step forward, arching her body to resist the spreading energy wave and move forward.
"Clint! Get Dr. Selvig out of here!"
Nick Fury was the first to notice that something was wrong with the movement of the Cosmic Cube. Especially after seeing Leni's movements, he couldn't help but start to wonder if this was Leni's fault.
There were still outsiders present, but Nick Fury did not have a fit and question him on the spot, but decided to let Clint send the doctor away first.
Clint glanced at Leni and saw that she was still trying to get closer to the Cosmic Cube, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
But there was no doubt about the order from the superiors. Among the people present, Dr. Selvig was the least capable of fighting, so it was better to escort him away.
Buzz! Buzz!
Wave after wave of energy pulses began to pour out from the Cosmic Cube, which looked very much like the 084 Cosmic Cube energy weapon that Leni had recovered before!
If it were not for the pulse energy, it would appear that it would not cause any harm to the human body except for producing gradually strong winds.
But such a strange momentum still made several people present feel secretly frightened.
Following another wave of energy impact, the tables, chairs, and experimental equipment placed around the test area were all overturned by this majestic energy wave.
Some experimenters with poor physical constitution even had to hold on to something to barely maintain their body shape.
"What the hell happened!"
The strong wind set off by bursts of energy waves made several people in the field unable to open their eyes, but Leni was still trying to get closer to the central area.
"Leni!"
Coulson protected Agent Hill beside him and squinted his eyes at Leni, who was bowing forward in front of him.
The strong wind blew the white coat on Leni's body and made a hunting sound. Judging from her struggling figure, the closer she got to the Cosmic Cube at this time, the stronger the energy impact she suffered.
Leni glanced at the progress bar floating in her sight. Just as she thought, the closer to the center of the pulse, the faster the energy intake progress bar rises!
"I gotta go close it!"
Looking for a random excuse, Leni did not stop moving forward.
However, the next second, as if she felt some kind of provocation from Leni's movements, the pulse energy wave of the Cosmic Cube suddenly stagnated, and the fierce wind in the field suddenly stopped.
Leni's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly summoned Captain America's vibranium shield from the warehouse to block it in front of her, while shouting at everyone behind her!
"Get down quickly!"
After hearing Leni's reminder, Nick Fury and others, who had not yet understood the situation, immediately reacted, turning around and flying back.
Almost the moment they landed, an extremely violent pulse wave poured out from the core of the Cosmic Cube and spread to every corner of the room in the blink of an eye.
boom!
Different from the previous pulse wave, this time's energy pulse was extremely destructive. Under the strong impact, all the fixed steel load-bearing columns in the center of the field were blown away by this shock wave!
Even the two experimenters who had no time to react were thrown away by the impact and smashed into the surrounding walls.
For a time, the sound of various heavy objects falling to the ground and cries of pain spread throughout the entire experimental area. If Nick Fury and others had not reacted quickly, I am afraid that they would have ended up with the same fate as the surrounding experimenters.
After the shock wave, the Cosmic Rubik's Cube seemed to have returned to calm, and the energy pulse that had just been vented never appeared again.
Leni poked her head out from behind the vibranium shield and looked at it carefully for a while to make sure that the Cosmic Cube was not going crazy. Then she put the vibranium shield back into the warehouse.
"Damn...what the hell is going on?"
Nick Fury staggered up from the ground. He was second only to Leni from the Cosmic Cube, so he suffered a more serious pulse wave.
"I don't know, but Clint is right, the problem probably isn't on our side."
Leni glanced at the progress bar in her sight, only to see that the thing was stuck at 94% and stopped moving!
"What? Almost?"
Turning around and taking a look at the mess around the test area, the first responders who had reacted rushed into the test area and treated the experimenters who were blown away by the pulse wave.
"Now, the energy pulse is not harmless."
Walking to the front of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, Leni bent down and carefully observed the crystal clear and strange energy block in front of her.
"How should I adjust the remaining 6%? Take it directly?"
"I don't recommend you do this. If the Cosmic Cube is activated, you may be transported to a strange place after touching it. You don't want to be with the Red Skull, do you?"
Noticing Leni's movements, Nick Fury, who was already suspicious of Leni, took two steps forward and stood next to Leni, looking at her silently.
Even Agents Coulson and Hill, who had just gotten up from the ground behind them, now set their sights on Leni.
There is no way. To say who is most closely related to the Cosmic Cube among the people present now, it must be Leni.
After all, she was an unexpected product of Project Pegasus, so it was really hard for Nick Fury and others not to doubt her.
"Huh? What are you looking at me doing?"
Noticing the gazes of others, Leni was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
"Don't you think that the pulse wave just now was caused by me?"
Nick Fury didn't blush at all, and still looked at Leni.
"Before you came here, there had never been such a weird pulse phenomenon here. Although there have been pulse waves of similar intensity three times, this is the first time that such a frequent and violent situation has occurred."
Hill behind him spoke calmly. She had always been like this, remaining calm and rational at all times.
Leni shrugged and did not refute, after all, this was the truth.
"It shouldn't be my problem, believe it or not, but I really don't have the ability to remotely control the energy of the Rubik's Cube."
Ignoring a few people, Leni continued to turn around and observe the Cosmic Cube.
"According to what you said, if such a violent energy pulse phenomenon occurs for the first time, then I think you should be careful next time, at least..."
After looking around, Leni made a joke:
"At the very least you have to do research on this thing, or fix everything."
Hearing this, the corner of Nick Fury's eye twitched. Didn't this guy understand the situation? If there is no reasonable explanation for making such a big noise, how should he explain it to the Security Council?
You know, this Cosmic Cube experiment is not a project solely owned by SHIELD. The guys at NASA are watching from the outside!
"I asked you to come here to clarify the situation here, not to make sarcastic remarks!"
Leni glanced at him and sneered:
"Haha, if you had listened to me, you wouldn't have caused such a thing!"
