Chapter 214 Test (Two in One)

A few months passed quietly.

During this period, many scientists worked together and finally completed the task assigned by Tommy and developed a variety of powerful weapons and equipment.

After inspection by the testing department, all of them have achieved the expected goals, which can be regarded as a huge success.

At the same time, Barbara also completed her mission and created the energy gun.

However, although the energy gun is available, it remains to be seen whether it can work properly.

In order to test the power of this energy gun, Tommy decided to conduct a separate testing ceremony.

And now, Tommy and Kimberly have arrived at the secret shooting range.

Before they arrived, other people participating in the experiment had already arrived.

Barbara, the project leader, was a little nervous.

Although her operation was normal and it was manufactured completely according to the information on the drawings.

But she wasn't sure whether the gun would be useful.

After all, this was her first time making such a high-tech product, and she did it all by herself without any assistants.

The difficulty was so great that it almost surpassed the sum of her previous research.

That's why she is so lacking in confidence.

If possible, she would like to go back to the laboratory and continue to improve the energy gun in order to obtain a better and more perfect product.

However, Tommy only gave her three months, and she had already been delayed. If she delayed further, it would probably cause strong dissatisfaction from the other party.

With this in mind, she had no choice but to go ahead and do the test.

"Boss, this is the new energy gun I designed based on that unfinished product."

"It is equipped with a variety of energy output modes. Users can choose according to their needs. They can either perform precise bursts of fire at low energy consumption, or consume a huge amount of energy at once to create a powerful energy shock wave."

Since Tommy didn't understand the technology, Barbara didn't show off and just picked out some key points to explain.

"In order to facilitate logistical replenishment, the energy supply system of this energy gun adopts a modular design and uses standard energy boxes for charging. Each energy box can support fifteen standard shots."

"The main body of the gun is made of composite materials in one piece, which is not only light and durable, but also has good heat dissipation performance, providing reliable protection for continuous high-intensity combat."

"In addition, the gun is equipped with an intelligent aiming system that can automatically calibrate shooting parameters to improve the hit rate."

Without waiting for Barbara to finish her introduction, Tommy took the energy gun in his hand and looked at it over and over again.

The appearance is simple and smooth, the gun body has a faint metallic luster, and the grip fits the curve of the palm.

Judging from the appearance alone, this energy gun has a very high-tech feel and is quite interesting.

It feels very good to use, the weight is just right, and it is a good gun.

"I just don't know how powerful it is?"

Possessing master-level marksmanship skills, Tommy has an instinctive control over any form of firearm.

Therefore, even though it was his first time using it, he still mastered the key points and his movements were very skillful and smooth.

Seeing his standard gun-holding action, Barbara was startled at first, and then said worriedly:

"Boss, be careful and safe!"

Despite being the manufacturer of this gun, Barbara had no confidence in her product.

What would she do if it suddenly exploded?

It wasn't that she was worried about Tommy's safety.

She is just an undercover agent, and Tommy's life or death has nothing to do with her.

She was only concerned about her own safety.

There are many guards guarding the entire shooting range.

If anything happened to Tommy, the guards would definitely attack her first.

Due to the sensitivity of her identity, Barbara certainly would not surrender.

But if she dared to resist, this mission would end in failure.

Thinking of this, Barbara's heart beat faster.

But on the surface, she still controlled her expression well so that outsiders didn't notice anything wrong.

He just stared at Tommy closely, fearing that anything unexpected might happen.

Tommy didn't seem to notice Barbara's nervousness, his attention was all on the energy gun in his hand.

In the zombie universe, he used a similar weapon, which was a laser gun modified from the mutant Cyclops.

It was also for this reason that he had a rough idea of how the new energy gun worked and was able to get the hang of it easily.

After changing the mode to low energy consumption, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Along with the slight vibration of the gunshot, a light blue beam of energy poured out and hit the target not far away with incredible precision.

boom!
The sound of a gunshot is pitifully small, but the harm it causes is enormous.

The alloy steel, which was as strong as an armored vehicle, was pierced through in an instant, leaving only a charred hole.

"Hit the target, energy output is stable."

After checking the condition of the target, the on-site staff immediately recorded the data.

Tommy nodded in satisfaction.

Barbara's skills are obviously not as good as Valeria Richards.

There were no live mutant parts to use either.

Naturally, its power is not as strong as that of the Cyclops laser gun.

But in comparison, Tommy still prefers the former more.

After all, there is at most one mutant Cyclops in a universe.

Naturally, he could only make a Cyclops brand laser gun.

But the energy gun created by Barbara can be mass-produced.

As long as the funds are in place and the factory runs at full capacity, an entire container can be produced anytime and anywhere.

This is something the latter can never compare to.

Now that the low-energy burst shooting function has been tested, it’s time to test another function.

Tommy adjusted the switch on the gun, switching it to high-energy mode.

This time, the light bursting out from the muzzle was extremely dazzling, and the diameter of the energy beam also increased significantly.

There was a loud "boom" and a beam of energy more powerful than before burst out, directly smashing the target to pieces.

Even a huge deep hole was blown out in the concrete wall at the back, exposing the steel bars inside.

"The power was significantly increased, and the target was completely destroyed."

The staff was frightened by the power and it took them a long time to come back to their senses and record the precious experimental data in a book.

"Not bad, really good."

Tommy put down the energy gun and handed it to the waiting staff nearby with a satisfied smile on his face.

Barbara breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

She took a few steps forward and took advantage of Tommy's good mood to ask her question.

"Well, Boss, what do you think of the test results?"

"This is the energy gun I want."

Tommy praised it without reservation, "Although there are still some minor shortcomings, it does not affect the performance of this gun. As long as some minor adjustments are made, it can be put into mass production."

Barbara understood what Tommy meant by the shortcomings.

Although the explosion just now was incredibly powerful, its consumption was also huge.

Just that one high-powered shot consumed nearly half of the energy.

And this little bit of energy was extracted from the unfinished energy gun. After using it up, she didn't know where to replenish it.

Of course, this was a real problem for Tommy.

But SHIELD is happy to see this happen.

In order to help Barbara reach a high position, Nick Fury deliberately sent weapon blueprints.

But this doesn't mean he is willing to see Tommy's strength increase.

Weapons like the current one, which have a lot of hype but little practical significance, are what he likes to see the most.

Going back to reality.

The energy gun project was a great success, and many experimenters present applauded and cheered for Barbara's achievement.

Barbara's face was a little red and she was a little excited.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect.

After several months of work, she has already established good relationships with her colleagues.

The scope of work at Giant God Company also made her feel comfortable and gave her a deep sense of happiness.

If possible, she really hopes that she can be just an ordinary scientist and live a simple life every day.

But unfortunately, her wish was destined not to be fulfilled.

Once an Agent of SHIELD, always an Agent of SHIELD.

In her line of work, there is no such thing as quitting halfway.

But if she betrayed, she couldn't afford such a high price.

In that case, what else can she say?

It would be better for her to just stick to her guns and continue her undercover work.

Of course Tommy didn't know what Barbara was thinking.

He just patted his shoulder and said in praise:

"You have made great contributions with the energy gun. I will immediately submit a promotion report for you. Please come to my office later. I have another important task for you."

Barbara was delighted to hear this.

The day has finally arrived!
She finally gained Tommy's trust.

Although it was unclear what the mission Tommy was talking about was, it was obvious that it was not a trivial matter seeing how serious the other party was.

Maybe it has something to do with Dr. Otto's project.

If she could join the artificial sun project team, she would be able to obtain more reliable information.

This means that Nick Fury's request has been completed and I can now report to my superiors.

"By the way, this energy gun doesn't have a name yet, right?"

At this moment, Tommy seemed to remember something and suddenly spoke.

"As the first epoch-making weapon of Giant God Company, this gun has extraordinary significance. An ordinary name cannot show its characteristics. So, I will give you a name, call it MB1-Thor!"

"MB1-Thor? What a good name. What a fitting name."

Before Barbara, the main person, could say anything, Kimberly on the side started clapping and cheering.

"The light blue energy beam is like thunder falling from the sky. Anyone standing in its way will tremble in fear, as if they are bearing the might of the god of thunder head-on!"

Barbara liked the name, too.

What made her even more delighted was that there was the initials of her name in it.

Although it is true that she is an agent, her identity as a scientist is not false.

For a scientist, having a weapon named after her is definitely a rare honor, and of course it makes her happy.

At the same time, she also felt a little ashamed.

After all, there is an element of fraud involved.

MB1-Thor was not developed by her independently.

It is the joint effort of all the scientists of S.H.I.E.L.D.

She just did the work of an engineer, converting the drawings into real objects.

But she hadn't been able to explain this to Tommy yet.

This left her helpless and she could only feel ashamed of the domineering name MB1-Thor.

In short, a powerful weapon is freshly released and ready to join the battlefield at any time!
……

Tommy's office is on the 21st floor of the building, and above that is the top-floor laboratory.

The most eye-catching thing in the entire office is the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Standing in front, you can look down and directly enjoy the bustling city view.

At this moment, Tommy was standing in front of the French window, waiting for his employees to arrive.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

After getting his consent, a familiar figure walked in.

Yes, it was Barbara Morse.

During the test session just now, she was invited to Tommy's office, saying that he had an important task for her.

Barbara was delighted by the contrast.

Because it means that she has successfully passed Tommy's test and gained his trust.

It also means that her efforts over the past three months have not been in vain.

With joy in her heart, she pushed open the door of the office.

But when she walked into the office, she found that something seemed wrong.

Tommy, who had called her, behaved normally and just stood in front of the French window to look at the scenery.

But what does it mean to have so many guards in the room?
Is it because Tommy is too timid that he needs guards to protect his safety at all times?
Or is it that the other party has some other intention behind doing this?
Barbara didn't know.

But when she felt the cold looks from the guards, she immediately became extremely alert, ready to prevent any accidents from happening at any time.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Barbara's voice was a little doubtful.

Only then did Tommy slowly turn around and return to his seat. Then he looked directly into Barbara's eyes and said meaningfully.

"How long have you been in the company?"

"It's been almost half a year."

"Has it been that long? I don't think so."

Tommy was quite surprised. He lit a cigar and put it in his mouth, and handed one to Barbara.

"Sorry, boss, I'm not very good at this."

Of course Barbara chose to refuse, she was not in the mood for it.

"Okay, whatever you want."

Tommy didn't force it. Since the other party didn't want it, there was no need for him to force it on him. He put the cigar away again and talked about the next business.

"There is a traitor in the company. Do you know about this?"

It was as if a bolt from the blue exploded in Barbara's ears. Her heartbeat suddenly quickened and countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, but she remained calm on the surface.

"Boss, I don't understand what you mean."

"Are you still pretending to be stupid?"

Seeing that Barbara refused to admit it, Tommy stopped pretending and just came clean.

"Someone told me that there's a traitor in the company recently, and he's been passing information to the outside world. And you know that Giant God Company won't tolerate traitors, and anyone caught will be severely punished! So, what do you want me to do?"
