Chapter 607 Promotion to Director, Approval of Project Insight (Bonus Chapter 21000-40000)

the other side.

Steve drove Natasha towards New Jersey.

Natasha said:
"Shouldn't we contact reinforcements first?"

Steve said:
"We couldn't get through on the phone. I think we should go to New Jersey first and see what's going on."

"After obtaining the evidence, it might be better to contact Jessica Jones, since I'm already wanted by the police."

"You might have already been implicated."

Natasha glanced at Steve and said with a smile:

"I'm not wanted by the authorities. Besides, I'm different from you. I'm an agent of the Ministry of Supervision."

As they spoke, Natasha showed Steve her information on the S.H.I.E.L.D. intranet, which still indicated that she was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and not wanted by any organization.

Steve Rogers paused for a moment, then spoke:
"So this is the advantage of having connections?"

······
S.H.I.E.L.D. - Trident Tower

Pierce entered Smith Doyle's office and began to speak:
"The Security Council's appointment has been approved. From now on, you are the acting director of S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Once the process is complete, you can remove the word 'agent' from your resume."

"Now we can move our office to the director's office. By the way, do you have anyone you would recommend for the position of inspector general?"

Upon hearing the appointment, Smith Doyle also spoke:
“Sharon Carter, who works under me, is a good candidate for the position of Inspector General.”

Pierce nodded and said:
“Carter Page’s niece, huh? That’s a respectable status, and she can certainly keep the people under her command.”

"You will serve as the Inspector General concurrently for now. Once the title of Acting Inspector General is removed, the position can be handed over to her."

"To be honest, I thought you would choose Natasha, since I heard her adoptive parents are with you."

Upon hearing Pierce's words, Smith Doyle smiled and then said:
“Natasha is good too, but this position is not suitable for her, after all, she is still a member of the Avengers.”

Pierce then changed the subject and said:
"Our agents have sent word that Natasha and Steve are getting involved together."

Smith Doyle said nonchalantly:

“I sent him there; I also want to know what exactly Steve Rogers got from Nick Fury.”

Upon hearing Smith Doyle's words, Pierce smiled and didn't mention Natasha again, so the warrant for her arrest naturally disappeared.

"Come on, let me show you S.H.I.E.L.D.'s real big plan."

Smith Doyle stood up and said:
"Then I'd like to see it for myself."

Smith Doyle followed Pierce to the Insight Project's production base.

Three enormous space carriers were moored underground. One by one, Quinjet fighters were lifted and placed onto the decks of the space carriers. Huge artillery systems stood on the decks of the space carriers, with cannons protruding all around, indicating their terrifying power.

Clearly, the space carrier before him was about what he already knew. Smith Doyle nodded and said it was pretty much what he knew.

"This is Project Insight, a helicopter carrier three generations ahead of its time, connected to positioning satellites."

"Once it's in the air, there's no need to land; the new engines can continue suborbital flight."

"These long-range precision-guided weapons can eliminate a thousand enemies per minute."

"When aliens invade again, these weapons can be deployed on the battlefield to fire on those alien soldiers."

"We have also equipped ourselves with some laser weapons, but the number is not large at the moment."

Upon hearing this, Smith Doyle nodded, appearing to be quite pleased.

Pierce continued

"By combining our specialized satellite system with ground-based facial recognition, we can conduct global surveillance."

"If another large alien army sneaks in, an alarm will sound as soon as they show themselves. The appearance of a large number of unfamiliar life forms will be identified immediately."

"This would minimize the possibility of a Kree invasion. If the project goes smoothly, it will produce more space carriers, truly achieving 24/7 global coverage."

Smith Doyle thought for a moment and said:

"This feature sounds good; global early warning is interesting."

Pierce continued:
"In addition to that, it has another special function."

“We designed an algorithm that predicts who might pose a threat to the planet by collecting and analyzing large amounts of personal data.”

“Before the enemy actually commits a crime, satellites can read his DNA, and we can nip many dangers in the bud.”

Upon hearing Pierce's words, Smith Doyle thought to himself: This is right, this is the Insight Project and Zola's algorithm that he knows, not the two functions from before.

At this moment, Smith Doyle shook his head and said:

"Big data algorithms are not necessarily accurate, and products such as the Internet and artificial intelligence have huge flaws."

"When data networks are hacked, they may not become weapons to protect the Earth, but rather weapons to kill us."

"Earth's internet technology is a backward technology to those alien forces."

Pierce was taken aback when he heard Smith Doyle's question. If the Kree had altered the data in the Zola algorithm via the network, these three space carriers could very well have turned against them.

At this point, Smith Doyle continued:
"Furthermore, this idea of ​​preventing premature elimination has been abandoned by the Assassin's Guild."

"Only those who truly do bad things should be punished."

Smith Doyle then told Pierce about the Assassins' past mission to eliminate danger using the sacred loom, and how the Assassins changed after his arrival.

Pierce was also taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, he asked:

"And what about the sacred loom?"

Smith Doyle laughed:
"I destroyed it."

"We cannot rely on a magic weapon to determine the future of others."

Pierce paused for a few seconds, then asked:
"So, is Project Insight going to be postponed?"

Smith Doyle shook his head and said:

"Continue as planned; the insight plan still has many merits."

"However, we can stop at this last algorithm for now, as it needs to be modified."

"What do you think, Secretary Pierce?"

Upon hearing that Smith Doyle did not intend to stop the Insight Project, and instead expressed more approval of the only thing he rejected, which was the Zola algorithm.

After thinking for a moment, Pierce said:

"Now that you're the director, you can naturally do things your way."

Pierce had long set his sights on hiding Hydra under Smith Doyle's wing, allowing it to feed on S.H.I.E.L.D. and extract more blood from them. Naturally, he wouldn't refuse Smith Doyle's first proposal after taking office, and unlike Nick Fury, Smith Doyle wasn't aware of anything.

Smith Doyle glanced at Pierce, then looked at the three space carriers in front of him and said:
"Then let's continue with that."

the other side.

Steve took Natasha to the place in New Jersey where he had once trained.

Arriving at the campsite, Steve was filled with emotion as he gazed at the camp gate. He then asked:
"Is this it?"

Natasha took out her phone, glanced at it, and nodded.

"The documents were sent out from here."

At this moment, Steve spoke up:
“Caspian Camp, that’s where I come from.”

As the two entered the camp, it gradually grew dark.

“I received training at this camp.”

Natasha took out her phone to scan for signals and asked as she did so:
"Has it changed much?"

Steve looked around and said:
"It's alright." Looking at the familiar surroundings, Steve felt as if he had returned to the training grounds he had once been in.

After scanning the area, Natasha shook her head and said:

"There's no chance here."

"No thermal imaging, no signal, not even radio waves."

She then put her multi-functional mobile phone back into her pocket and said:
"The programmer must have used a router to prevent others from tracking him."

Seeing Steve looking in a certain direction with a puzzled expression, Natasha asked:
"what happened?"

Steve walked toward the building in front of him, saying as he went:
"Military regulations stipulate that ammunition must not be stored within 500 yards of barracks."

"This building should not have been built here."

Upon reaching the gate, Steve smashed the lock with his shield and led Natasha inside.

The two entered the room and then turned on the lights.

Looking at the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo on the wall, Natasha spoke:

"This is S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters."

Steve nodded and said, "It was probably launched from here."

The two explored the various rooms and found a photo of the three of them on a wall.

Natasha said, "That's Tony's dad."

Steve nodded and said, "Howard."

Natasha, noticing Steve looking at a photo of another woman on the wall, asked:
"Who is that girl?"

Steve didn't say anything, but turned and left.

Standing in front of a huge cabinet, Steve sensed that something was hidden inside.

"Working in such a secluded place."

He grabbed the cabinet and pulled hard, and the cabinet slid to both sides, revealing the elevator hidden behind it.

"Why is there an elevator hidden here?"

Natasha went up, scanned the keypad on the elevator door, confirmed the keypad code 8539, and entered it directly.

The elevator doors opened, and the two of them took it underground.

As the two entered, the elevator doors slowly closed.

Soon the room lights turned on automatically, and Natasha looked at the ancient equipment in front of her and said:
"The data source can't be here; these are all outdated."

But looking at the huge device in front of her, which had an external USB port, Natasha thought for a moment and then inserted the Y drive into it.

As the USB drive was inserted, the system in front of me started up automatically, and a computer-generated audio system began to play.

"Start the system?"

Natasha stepped forward and typed "YES!" into the computer.

As the system started up, a cube-shaped image appeared on the screen. A camera was pointed at Steve, and the computer-generated voice sounded again.

"Steve Rogers was born in 1918."

The camera then turned to Natasha.

"Natalie Allenova Romanov was born in 1984."

Natasha looked at the camera above her and said uncertainly:

"This is a video recording, isn't it?"

“I wasn’t recording, ma’am.”

"Perhaps I am no longer the way I was when the captain captured me in 1945, but I am..."

At that moment, a photo of Zola appeared on the other computer screen.

Steve looked over, and after seeing the photo on the computer, he began to look around, explaining as he did so:

"Arning Zola was a German scientist working for the Red Skull."

"He has been dead for many years."

Zola's voice rang out:
"To correct my first point, I am Swiss."

"Secondly, look around, I'm still alive and kicking."

After Steve and Natasha entered the area, Zola immediately reported the situation to Pierce.

Pierce thought for a moment and then decided to sacrifice Zola to eliminate Steve.

"Zola, hold off Steve and Natasha, I'll use an ICBM to destroy that place immediately."

Zola didn't care about any of that. He had already successfully digitized himself and could reside anywhere with the network. Even if this place was destroyed, he would be resurrected in another Hydra secret base.

The loss of just one base could completely eliminate Steve, and for him, it was all worth it.

Zola continued to introduce himself:

"In 1972, I was diagnosed with late-stage cancer."

"Science can't save my body, but my mind must survive."

"So I stored my thoughts in a database of two million units."

“You are in my brain.”

Steve looked around, then walked back to the computer and asked:
"Why are you here?"

Zola explained:
"I came at your invitation."

At this moment, Natasha said:
"In Operation Paperclip after World War II, S.H.I.E.L.D. recruited German scientists of strategic value."

Zola added:
“They felt I could help them achieve their goals, and I also achieved my own goals.”

Steve then spoke up:
"Hydra perished along with Red Skull."

Zola said:

"Cut off one head, and two new ones will grow back."

Steve disbelieves:

"Prove it to me."

In order to keep Steve, they need to buy time.

At the same time, Zola also believed that the captain was bound to die this time, so he didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

"Loading archive".

Soon, some video materials began to play on the computer screen in front of them.

"Hydra's founding creed was that humans cannot control their own freedom, but we didn't realize that if we try to take away their freedom, they will resist."

"War has taught us a lot; humanity needs to voluntarily give up freedom."

"After the war ended, S.H.I.E.L.D. was established and recruited former Hydra agents like myself. A new Hydra was born, like a beautiful parasite in S.H.I.E.L.D."

"Unfortunately, not long ago, Ms. Natasha and the agents of the Inspectorate once again chopped off one of our heads—the Austrian branch, Whitehall."

Natasha was stunned as she looked at the images and Zola's words.

"How is that possible? Whitehall is one of your people."
