Chapter 213 If you want to take something, you must give it first

S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters.

Nick Fury sat behind his desk with his hands crossed on the table, his dark face expressionless, his emotions unnoticed.

He was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something important.

"Barbara wants the manufacturing technology of the energy gun?"

"Yes, Director."

Phil Coulson stood aside, looking slightly hesitant.

Nick Fury nodded slightly, thought carefully for a moment, and finally made a decision.

"Since Barbara thinks it's necessary, then give it to her."

"But, Chief, that's an energy gun..."

Agent Coulson never expected the Director to answer like that.

After all, that is a priceless energy gun, a powerful weapon that even SHIELD doesn't have many of.

Isn't it a bit too hasty to hand it over to others so easily?
However, before he could utter any words of dissuasion, Nick Fury raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Hey, Coulson, don't be so nervous."

Nick Fury said in a very relaxed tone, comfortingly:

"It's no big deal. We just gave them the manufacturing drawings. It's like a nuclear bomb. Everyone knows the manufacturing principle, but how many countries can actually manufacture it?"

He thinks this example is very good.

Agent Coulson immediately understood the meaning.

To put it bluntly, although the technology for manufacturing energy guns is critical, resources are the most important.

Just like making a nuclear bomb requires high-purity uranium ore, making a suitable energy gun also requires stable and long-lasting energy support.

If this difficulty is not resolved, even if the energy gun is managed to be manufactured, it will be nothing more than an expensive toy.

Apart from being displayed as an ornamental piece, it has no practical value.

"Also, you have to consider the issue of funding."

Nick Fury paused, then continued:

"To make the energy gun, Tommy Vercetti will have to spend at least hundreds of millions of dollars on research. But that's not all. He also has to solve the energy supply problem, which is a bottomless pit. Even if he throws in billions of dollars, it may not make a splash."

Speaking of this, Nick Fury couldn't help but sigh.

SHIELD has been researching energy guns for so many years, but has only produced a few of them.

It has not yet been put into mass production.

And this is the result of their support of the Cosmic Cube.

Thanks also to Howard Stark for the huge amount of valuable data he left behind.

But even so, the manufacturing cost of energy guns is still incredibly high, and the requirements for materials and technology are extremely stringent.

Of course, you get what you pay for.

The power of the energy gun is still very good.

For ordinary combat targets, the energy gun can kill them with one shot.

It can also inflict devastating damage to heavily armored units.

But think about it from another angle. Heavy weapons such as anti-tank rocket launchers and anti-tank sniper rifles can also produce similar effects.

The cost is still low.

Not even one-tenth of the power of the energy gun.

Nick Fury settles his score with Agent Coulson.

Giving the blueprints to Tommy Vercetti would only waste hundreds of millions of dollars and he would get nothing in the end.

But if these hundreds of millions of dollars were not spent on energy guns, but on ordinary guns and cannons, they would probably fill an entire container.

"Which situation do you think is better for us?" Upon hearing this, Agent Coulson nodded in agreement, with an expression of sudden enlightenment.

He is such a smart man, how could he not understand the logic behind it?

But sometimes, subordinates have to be a little ignorant.

This will give the boss room to perform.

If he didn't understand this, he wouldn't be in the position he is in today.

"I understand, Chief. I'll give the information to Barbara right away."

“Remember to pick up those outdated versions.”

Seeing Agent Coulson turning to leave, Nick Fury added, "One more thing. Please contact General Ross for me and tell him that I am very interested in the big green guy. Perhaps S.H.I.E.L.D. can cooperate with him on this point."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, indicating that Agent Coulson could leave on his own.

After Coulson left, the office returned to silence.

Nick Fury walked to the window and looked at the sky in the distance.

His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something serious.

He cared more about the big green guy than he did about Tommy Vercetti.

Based on the information passed back by the agents, he roughly understood what happened that year.

In 2005, a famous physicist named Bruce Banner had an accident while performing a government research project. His body was exposed to excessive gamma ray radiation, which led to the occurrence of mutations.

At that time, Bruce Banner, who had transformed into the Hulk, went crazy, destroyed the entire laboratory, attacked everyone present, and fled frantically.

By the time General Ross and his team arrived, the Hulk had already disappeared without a trace, and no trace of him could be seen.

From then on, General Ross had a fight with the Hulk and vowed to catch the damn Hulk no matter what method he used or how long it took.

But Nick Fury had other ideas.

He decided to get involved.

The Hulk is very dangerous, but this also highlights his strength. If they can find a way to control him, then S.H.I.E.L.D. will have a new powerful weapon and an extra trump card to use.

Of course, General Ross would likely express strong dissatisfaction with this.

But Nick Fury doesn't care.

He's just a stubborn old man, what can you do to him?

Don't forget, he is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and an official appointed by the UN Security Council.

Whether in terms of status or power, he is not comparable to a mere Air Force Lieutenant General.

No matter how unhappy or angry General Ross was, he was helpless and could do nothing to him.

……

The words are divided into two parts.

After getting the energy gun drawings from Agent Coulson, Barbara began to research it at full speed.

After consuming countless resources and using huge amounts of funds, she finally succeeded in creating a special envoy energy gun.

The workload was quite huge and it took at least half a year to complete.

I spend almost every day in the laboratory, working non-stop seven days a week.

Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain, and she finally got the desired result.

After the experiment was successful, Barbara immediately reported to her superiors, hoping that the company would send someone to inspect it.

Of course, her real purpose here is not Tommy Vercetti himself.

And Tommy did not disappoint her expectations. He showed up at the shooting range that day and participated in the testing of the energy gun.

"Boss, everything is ready, the test firing can start at any time!"
