Plunder the Heavens from American Comics

Chapter 147 Umbrella's Strength

New York, Stark Tower.

As an energy self-sufficient building, Stark Tower is often used as a power source for activating the Cosmic Cube.

Originally, Jonathan didn't want to get involved in this matter.

Anyway, he had already informed Meredith in advance that it was a building that now belonged to Umbrella.

Two industrial areas.

An exhibition garden.

They are all protected by an army of cyborgs.

Even if the Chitauri invaded New York, Jonathan felt that with their technical strength, they would not be able to break through Umbrella's defenses.

Although cyborgs of Ke'er's level are rarely used.

But after Ivan Vanko combined the exoskeleton technology of Weyland Industries and developed a single-soldier tactical exoskeleton that can be mass-produced and has good power.

A biochemical soldier can at least single out a squad of U.S. Marines.

And in terms of heavy weapons, there are also high-temperature beam cannons developed based on Destroyer technology.

It can be said that the only weak point is the defense system.

But at Tony Stark's request, Jonathan agreed to help him.

After all, Tony had helped him a lot, both openly and secretly, although this guy was somewhat wary of him.

Jonathan estimated that the Anti-Jonathan suit might have already created a folder on Tony's private server.

But now that the tsundere Tony Stark has spoken, Jonathan won't ignore him.

Of course, if it was Nick Fury who spoke, Jonathan would definitely ignore him.

"Dr. Banner, do you need a ride?" Jonathan invited Dr. Banner before leaving.

After all, to put it bluntly, the Avengers no longer exist.

After such a fierce quarrel, there was no Nick Fury to use a trick to bring them together.

Now it's clear that Captain America is playing with himself.

Tony Stark and Banner played together.

In the eyes of others, Jonathan also belongs to their camp.

Thor, on the other hand, just wants to get the Cosmic Cube back.

The only one left is Natasha, the representative of SHIELD, who is all alone.

Because Hawkeye had been shot by Jonathan and sent to see God.

"Dr. Banner." Nick Fury wanted to persuade him to stay, but he was the one who regarded the other party as a threat. After opening his mouth, Nick was a little at a loss for words.

Banner looked at Nick and Natasha with a mocking expression, then followed Jonathan and left.

The same goes for Thor and Tony.

The only ones left on the scene were Nick Fury, Maria Hill and Natasha Romanoff.

"Mazefak!" Nick Fury cursed unhappily after seeing a group of people leaving.

Finally, he said helplessly, "Natasha, follow them. Try to retrieve the Cosmic Cube before them."

In Nick Fury's eyes, the Cosmic Cube is the property of S.H.I.E.L.D., and as for the Mind Scepter, he has given it up.

Even though he has been investigating for so long, he still hasn't uncovered Jonathan's past.

Even when he asked the Skrulls whether there was a force in the universe with a similar style to Jonathan and his team.

The Skrulls also said that they had never encountered such an organization or force.

So now Nick Fury still doesn't dare to offend Jonathan rashly.

Not to mention that Hydra within SHIELD has not yet been eradicated.

As a fighter jet, the space inside the Jinling fighter is even wider than that of the Quinjet.

Natasha also boarded the plane with Jonathan.

Jonathan didn't stop her.

She looked at the interior space of the Golden Wing fighter and silently took note of these things in her mind.

Report to Nick Fury once preparations are complete.

"Jonathan, the engine technology of your plane is pretty good. It's flying at a speed of over Mach 20 now, right?" Tony Stark looked at the clouds receding rapidly outside the window.

Said with a bit of sigh.

Jonathan ignored him and instead picked up the communicator and began to communicate remotely with Meredith.

Of course, some sensitive information was not convenient to say in front of these people, so Jonathan communicated with Meredith using text.

"By the way, what kind of energy does your plane use? Why is it so quiet?" Tony Stark was very interested in the Golden Wing fighter.

Keep asking Jonathan questions.

At the same time, I was also trying here and there, and sticking a few signal invaders under some screens on the plane.

"Stark, put away your little toys. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning Jarvis into a moron."

Tony's little action was discovered by Ke'er at the first time. After all, after connecting with the fighter's main brain, this Golden Wing fighter was actually not much different from Ke'er's body.

So Ke'er immediately notified Jonathan via text message.

"Damn." Tony felt a little embarrassed when Jonathan discovered his little action.

"Jonathan, what's the name of your Umbrella's artificial intelligence? It looks quite advanced."

Tony Stark casually mentioned this and changed the subject. "You can call me Red Queen, sir." Suddenly, a holographic image of a little girl was projected in front of Tony Stark.

It startled him.

"Holy Shit!" Tony cursed.

"If you have any questions, just ask Red Queen. I'm very busy." After Jonathan opened Red Queen's remote permissions, he threw Tony to Red Queen.

He himself was concentrating on communicating with Meredith and making arrangements for the upcoming battle.

"Jonathan, seriously, are you interested in having the people from Umbrella and our people from Stark exchange ideas on artificial intelligence development?"

After talking with Red Queen for a while, Tony felt that Jarvis seemed to be inferior to Umbrella's artificial intelligence in terms of logic and emotion.

In fact, Red Queen Jonathan had already arranged it when she built the beehive.

Just like Red Queen in Resident Evil, Red Queen is involved in some of Hive’s research, including data processing and analysis.

However, the artificial intelligence developed based on Weyland's cyborg technology has removed the self-learning module.

Although she is much better than Jarvis in terms of computing and analytical abilities, she is probably no match for her original version in terms of real intelligence.

Unless Jonathan is willing to take the risk of installing a self-learning module on Red Queen.

Unlike Coron, Red Queen has to manage the entire hive, so Jonathan certainly can't keep her by his side all the time to prevent her from learning bad things.

So even though she is stronger than Jarvis now, in fact, she is not even as good as Jarvis in terms of growth potential.

But it is obvious that Tony Stark already had the idea of ​​creating Ultron at this time.

Thinking of this, Jonathan decisively rejected Tony Stark's request.

Natasha remembered every word of their conversation.

Umbrella Building, when Jonathan's Golden Wing fighter landed.

On the roof of the building, many cyborgs wearing exoskeletons were already standing, ready for action.

The weapons in their hands were upgraded from electromagnetic rifles to high-temperature beam guns.

I have to say that cyborgs are much more useful as cattle and horses than humans.

They don't need to rest for 24 hours. They just need to connect the wires and work endlessly.

There is no need to rest, eat or defecate.

And there will be no mistakes in the work.

One cyborg worker can be as efficient as twelve human workers.

There are also many sleepless biochemical workers in the dimensional city. Every time there is a new weapon, Jonathan can quickly equip it.

The exoskeleton was redesigned by Ivan Vanko. It didn't imitate the show-off of Iron Man.

Wrap the whole body with iron.

After all, cyborgs are not as sophisticated as humans, so this individual exoskeleton only surrounds and protects some places where the cyborgs would lose their ability to move after being attacked.

For example, the spine, neck and other parts.

As for power, there are two Ark reactors that use new elements.

Hidden in the left and right hands respectively.

The reason for this design is that the two reactors can be disassembled at any time.

Then use it as a small nuclear bomb.

If the situation really requires that both reactors be used as weapons, the exoskeleton's backpack power supply can still support its battery life for more than 24 hours.

In addition, multiple flexible weapon mounting points are designed on the shoulders, crotch, and even back of the exoskeleton.

Compared to Tony Stark's battle suit, Umbrella's individual exoskeleton is the real tool of war.

So after a few people got off the plane and saw these biochemical soldiers.

They all swallowed a few times.

Natasha was secretly a little anxious. She thought she had overestimated Jonathan's Umbrella.

But I didn't expect that I was still naive.

Stark was amazed at these designs and couldn't help but say, "Jonathan, you are not a warlord, are you? Your Umbrella security force should be more like a standard military than the current US military, right?"

After all, Tony also sells arms, and he can tell the difference between mass-produced goods and custom-made goods at a glance.

It is obvious that the equipment worn by these Umbrella soldiers is the most common mass-produced equipment.

But Tony now has a feeling that his Mark VI may not be able to defeat two or three Umbrella soldiers working together.

As for Thor, the God of Thunder who had been silent, he was also a little frightened at this time.

What frightened him most was the military mobilization capabilities of the organization behind Jonathan.

He recognized at a glance that the weapons in the hands of these soldiers were modified using the Destroyer's technology.

Adding the two cannons on the Golden Wing fighter plane and these guns, it shows that Jonathan's organization can transform technology into combat power very quickly.

This speed is based on the solidity of the industrial system and the response speed of personnel mobilization.

Thor couldn't help but imagine, if Asgard didn't have the Destroyer technology, how long would it take to put weapons made with the Destroyer technology into service?

Just when a group of people were surprised, a man wearing a black tight elastic combat suit, also wearing an individual exoskeleton on the outside, appeared.

Lucy, who had golden hair and a face exactly like Natasha, walked out.

"Master, President Meredith is waiting for you in the office."

After saying that, Lucy glanced at Natasha Romanoff who was behind Jonathan.
