Marvel Salted Fish Kryptonian

Chapter 374 Kree Cruiser

In outer space, the black sunglasses that arrived outside the atmosphere first, apart from basking in the yellow sunlight that was not filtered by the atmosphere, were waiting for Carol Danvers to fly the Quajet into space.

Because following the plane in broad daylight in night clothes is like reminding people that there is a fly here, please pay attention.

Although physical flight wouldn't be picked up by normal radar, it could still be seen, so Hei Chao waited in the sky early rather than foolishly reveal his whereabouts.

In fact, Black Super was not the only one waiting in space. The Kree pursuers had already arrived. They were parked in the satellite orbit and did not take any action for the time being.

What surprised Hei Chao was that the Kree only sent one spaceship, which he didn't know whether it was medium or small among the Kree warships, and his classification was also unknown.

Its shape is a boomerang-like curved shape, rather than the spindle or circle that Earth physicists have deduced as the most ideal shape for flying in space.

The Kree warships were designed this way because they wanted to maximize the number of engines arranged horizontally to achieve greater thrust. Plus, they also had a high-tech artificial gravity device, so they didn't need to rely on roller-like motion to simulate gravity.

Because he didn't know how the Kree ship's external surveillance or sensing devices were configured, Hei Chao didn't dare to get too close and attract the other party's attention.

Using the Earth's high-orbit satellites as cover, Hei Chao simply observed the Kree ships as closely as possible.

The Kryptonian's X-ray vision was still functional, which was good news. Black Shadow could see between one hundred and one hundred and fifty humanoid creatures moving about the ship.

Taking into account the manpower required to operate the ships and the necessary support personnel, it is roughly estimated that they can send one-half to one-third of their forces to carry out boarding operations.

This means that Nick Fury and his companions will likely face more than fifty Kree soldiers. This is far more than the number shown in the movie, and this doesn't even include Yon-Rogg's elite squad.

Perhaps because they didn't know where the target was on Earth, the Kree warship didn't make any major moves, only sending out a single-person landing craft towards the surface.

Not long after the Kree landing craft landed, Carol Danvers's Quajet broke away from the Earth's gravity like a high-thrust rocket and hovered somewhere.

Still using the satellite as cover, Black Super approached the Quajet. Just as their nose was facing, a hidden spacecraft shed its camouflage and appeared in space.

According to the movie memory, this should be Ma-Vell's laboratory, a Kree cruiser.

Her appearance was not like the boomerang-shaped warships used by the Kree pursuers, but more like a long cargo ship that focused on large capacity. Although not completely square, it was much larger in size.

The Quajet entered the cruiser from an opening blocked by a force field, and another Kree warship in the distance also took action at the same time.

The Kree warship did not approach rashly, but first released small attack aircraft and a larger sub-ship to assemble in the universe.

Judging from its appearance and purpose, the sub-ship might be a troop transport ship such as an assault landing ship.

But they also did not head directly towards the Kree cruiser, but waited for the people on the surface to return and meet up.

Taking advantage of this gap, Hei Chao avoided the boarding port and the bow part with obvious external viewing windows, and approached the cruiser left behind by the Kree scientists from the belly of the ship.

Luckily, the Kryptonian's flight didn't have any special sound or light effects, unlike Captain Marvel's, who was almost afraid others wouldn't know she was coming. The black mask quietly moved to the belly of the ship, pressing his fingers against the hull.

Using the principle of sonar echo, Hei Chao obtained the complete design of the US Iowa-class battleship, the Missouri.

In the vacuum environment of outer space, although there is no air as a medium to transmit sound, the vibration of solids still has a similar effect.

With the help of Kryptonian X-ray vision, Black Super, who was familiar with this operation, quickly mapped out the complete structure of the Kree cruiser in his mind. However, this was still a long way from cracking the entire ship's design.

Unlike the Missouri, which inherited much of Earth's technology, this ship was built under a completely different tech tree. He only knew the structure of most of the equipment, not its function, let alone the materials used.

However, the functions of some compartments can still be inferred from their contents.

The living room and cargo hold are the most obvious, not to mention the engine room related to the ship's power. The most common are the cultivation greenhouses with lights, where a large number of plants that have never been seen on Earth are grown.

As for the Skrulls Ma-Vell had taken refuge with on this cruiser, there were even fewer than expected, only about a dozen. Perhaps even fewer than General Talos had brought to Earth.

This situation is understandable. Without external supplies, the ship must be self-sufficient, and it is unknown how long this will last, so this ship cannot support too many people.

Carol Danvers and others who have now entered the ship have not only recovered the Cosmic Cube, but General Talos has also met with the Skrulls who are sheltering on the ship.

Seeing that thing, Black Superman suddenly understood the possible reason why Nick Fury was involved in this matter.

According to the timeline of Avengers 4: Endgame, Iron Man and Captain America returned to the US military base in the 70s, retrieved the Cosmic Cube stored there, and obtained the Space Stone. This means that the Cosmic Cube has always been in the hands of the US military, not S.H.I.E.L.D.

Then, in 1989, six years before the present day, Project Pegasus suffered an accident, killing lead scientist Dr. Wendy Lawson and test pilot Lieutenant Carol Danvers.

Although Nick Fury said that this was the Air Force's mistake in covering up the loss of a billion dollars, the loss of the Tesseract taken from Hydra during World War II was the real huge loss that they dared not disclose.

So Nick Fury may have known about this and was planning to rob the Skrulls after they got the energy core of the hyperdrive. And the fact that the thing was exchanged from the US military to S.H.I.E.L.D. is definitely a credit to him.

However, before the things are in hand, there is no need to quickly eliminate the people who can help, so he keeps silent about his purpose.

He truly deserves to be called the Black Nick Fury. If you dug out his heart and lungs, they'd probably be as black as his skin.

The Space Stone's causal relationship is too profound, making it a hot potato that everyone is eyeing. Even if they were to snatch it, it would be useless without a proper method of using it. Therefore, it's not the target of Black Chao's group.

What he was looking for was actually the data storage device of this laboratory research vessel. The Kree technology was what Black Super was interested in.

People say Tony Stark is not as smart as Rocket Raccoon because their starting points are so different: one is an advanced cosmic civilization, the other is a surface civilization.

Although Black Super has been confirmed to be a Kryptonian, he is an exiled abandoned child, without any Kryptonian technology. He probably can't expect to find a Fortress of Solitude waiting for him in the Arctic.

So isn't the knowledge base of a Kree scientist attractive?

If this database contained more information about cosmic civilizations, even if it was just general information, like something from an elementary school history textbook, Black Super would also like to look for any information about Krypton.

This wasn't about wanting to go back and see what the Kryptonians of this universe were really like. Rather, it was about wanting to know what weaknesses and flaws Kryptonians, as the loser in the power struggle, had exposed.

Furthermore, the information he had previously obtained was verbally told by the Skrulls. He also wanted to know if the Kree would have a different version of the story.

Chapter 375 Invasion

I originally wanted to continue hiding outside the ship until I confirmed the target location, then dive in all at once, dismantle the target object, and then return directly to Earth.

However, the actions of the Kree forced Black Superman to change his original plan.

The daughter ship that looked like a landing ship entered the cruiser's boarding port directly, laid the ship sideways, and blocked most of the entrances and exits.

Other smaller aircraft patrolled outside the cruiser. And because these were ships built by the Kree themselves, they knew how to hide in blind spots between guns and reconnaissance, and there were also people guarding behind the engines.

As soon as the cruiser makes any unusual movement, they will immediately destroy the power of the laboratory ship.

In order to avoid being discovered by these patrolling bugs, Hei Chao had to enter the cruiser through the nearest maintenance passage.

The small maintenance hatch featured here isn't designed for use in space, as there's no pressurized cabin inside. Opening it in the near-vacuum of space would likely cause significant air loss. Therefore, such a hatch can only be opened from the inside.

Such minor inconveniences were no problem for Black Super, who could vibrate himself at super speeds to penetrate the gaps between molecules. He relied on this penetrating ability to enter the interior of the ship without triggering any alarms.

The first thing Hei Chao did when he came in was to find the nearest terminal, hoping to use the operations on the terminal to see if he could find the design drawings of the cruiser or the location where the data was stored.

Considering the delay in signal transmission across space, it's impossible for all Kree warship data to be uploaded to a cloud server. Therefore, there must be a local storage device.

Furthermore, the ship had to conceal its movements, making external communications impossible. So where was the data stored?

It's just that Hei Chao had a beautiful idea, but once he operated it, he was dumbfounded. Okay, I overlooked one thing earlier: the terminal interface uses Cree. I don't understand it!

It's true that super brains learn quickly, and even languages ​​are no problem. But to decipher a language, you first need a reference point. Otherwise, how can you decipher a scribbled mess without even a reference point?

Should I learn Kriven right then and there? The thought flashed through his mind, and Hei Chao decided to use a simpler method. Check the wiring!

The technological civilizations depicted in Marvel comics are still largely within the realm of Earth's technological understanding, though the technological gap prevents Earthlings from easily replicating them. And let's not even talk about Earth's supposedly most technologically advanced nation fighting with spears.

As for the Celestial Gods... that's too beyond the scope, even Black Super has never seen it, so we won't discuss it.

The use of network-controlled electronic devices inevitably requires two things: energy and data. In the hands of advanced civilizations, these elements will inevitably break free from the constraints of wired transmission and embark on a wireless path.

But is the wireless technology route really flawless?

The biggest advantage of wireless is convenience; however, when it comes to reliability, a wired connection is truly reliable. For added security, of course, you'd want to have two systems, each serving as a backup.

For a spaceship, a carrier that values ​​reliability over convenience, Hei Chao didn't believe that they would rely entirely on equipment that could be paralyzed by a piece of tinfoil.

This is why, under Black Chao's X-ray vision, the Kree cruiser's planks are densely packed with wires. Even behind the back panel of the terminal in front of him, there are wires connected.

For anyone who's worked in a computer room, checking wiring is a basic skill. Plus, you have X-ray vision, so you don't have to guess blindly by pulling wires, or rely on the wiring guy to do a good job so you can understand it at a glance.

Black Chao just needs to use traditional methods and follow a certain line.

Even the host behind this terminal is not its own target. In other words, different systems have their own lines and hosts to control them.

But as long as we can determine the shape or general design of the objects used by Kree technology to store data, we can just dismantle anything similar and then study it slowly back on Earth.

As for whether removing all devices with hard drive-like functions would paralyze the ship... Although I really want to say it's none of my business, if I want to maintain the basic functions of the ship, there is another idea I can refer to.

That was what he was looking for: the research data of scientist Ma Weil. This system should be separate from the flight system, not mixed together.

If the ship's various systems are physically separated, then the target should be any seemingly useless, independently operating electronic system unrelated to ship control. Simply dismantle the data storage device of this equipment.

But if Kree technology is integrating all the systems together... well, that's when it comes to saying "none of my business."

After determining the direction and goal, Hei Chao then moved along a route that should be related to data transmission.

However, the journey was not smooth, as the Kree who boarded the ship had already captured the Skrulls, Nick Fury and others, and were searching for any remnants inside.

In order to avoid the Kree people searching the ship, Black Superman sometimes had to turn into the wrong fork and wait for the search team to pass before coming back.

Sometimes, if he was unlucky, the Kree team would follow the fork in the road chosen by Hei Chao. In this case, he would be forced to run until there were other rooms or forks to choose from.

This is because he doesn't want to leave too many traces for himself, otherwise Hei Chao would have advanced by destroying the hull.

Using high-speed vibrations, it is possible to penetrate the gaps between molecules. However, the black mask cannot maintain this state for too long, and can only penetrate through places where the compartments are thinner.

Because penetrating molecular gaps requires the coordinated use of other abilities, the longer the traversal state is maintained, the more likely unnecessary errors will occur.

If it is just a simple high-speed vibration, and you want to maintain your appearance so that people can't see you clearly like Reverse Flash, it can still be done.

However, this ability is too unique, and Hei Chao doesn't want people to associate it with himself.

Playing hide-and-seek with the Kree search team all the way, Black Super finally arrived at a location where a host computer was set up.

Judging from the internal layout of this cabin, it should not be a laboratory used solely for experiments, as there is a huge energy generator next to it, but it is not activated.

It looked like a backup energy system, Hei Chao concluded.

Although the correct target has not been found yet, wandering around is equivalent to using the method of elimination to eliminate many cabins that are obviously not the target location.

Before moving on, Hei Chao studied the mainframe here to see how different the Kree's technology was from Earth's, and how they stored their data.

To confirm this, Hei Chao fiddled with the terminal, trying to hear any mechanical sounds. He couldn't see the energy changes with his own eyes, but he could infer something from the heat transfer.

Black Super used this method to gradually test out the workings of Kree technology, and he felt that he should be close to the answer.

Chapter 376 Captain Marvel is making a scene

Just as Hei Chao found the suspected storage device and was about to dismantle it for a closer look, the entire ship's power suddenly became unstable, and some devices even shut down. Even the main engine in front of him was not spared.

However, Black Super noticed that one of the advantages of Kree technology was that a host computer reboot wouldn't affect certain functions. At least the life support system and artificial gravity didn't fail immediately, killing everyone on the ship.

However, some devices that require a lot of energy to maintain are likely to be shut down.

Looking at Carol Danvers's position, Captain Marvel, who was several compartments away, exploded as expected.

In her binary star form, she is basically the ceiling of the combat power of superheroes in the Marvel Universe, as long as she is not compared with those at the level of the Celestials.

Now she just needs to get used to the power in her body and control it skillfully, and she will have no problem walking sideways in this universe.

The real problem is that the tomboy’s IQ is questionable and she is too trusting.

Whether in comics or movies, even Carol Danvers from Marvel Girls is the same. She relies entirely on her brute force to create miracles and defeat all conspiracies and tricks.

In short, no matter where this guy appears, he easily becomes the focus of attention, which is contrary to the code of conduct of Black Super. So it is best to stay away from him.

If you don't want to jump into the X-Men shit pit, there's no reason for you to run off and become a space police officer with Captain Marvel.

As for the ridiculous reason of having to enter the universe to maintain justice, it is because the screenwriter of the movie is afraid that the super villains who are causing trouble on the earth will be killed by the sudden appearance of Captain Jing before the corresponding superheroes appear, and the protagonist hero will have no chance to perform.

Moreover, an important point in the Kryptonian intelligence obtained from the Skrulls is that the Kryptonian fleet will be affected by the color of the local stars in the galaxy, thereby changing its temperament.

Even though he didn't know if his super powers would be lost, Black Superman stayed on Earth and just shone on the yellow sun. Otherwise, if he wanted to go to a galaxy to dispense justice, he would have to first check the color of the local stars, which would be too troublesome.

As for the person he had to protect on this trip, it was Nick Fury, whose heart was likely as dark as his skin. He had to help him solve the problem caused by the Skrulls, and as an insider of S.H.I.E.L.D., he was the most suitable person to do so.

But now he is holding the Yuan-devouring Beast Daitou E as if he is holding the strongest amulet, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

Although the Devourer's power was sometimes weak and sometimes weak, and it would swallow the enemy without even seeing them, they still had the trump card in hand, and the weapons they had stolen from the Kree, which was enough for them to escape...

Only then did Black Chao remember that the reason he entered the ship was because the Kree people's small combat aircraft were guarding a large circle outside.

Given the Quajet's design, could it possibly dogfight so many enemy fighters in space? In the movie, only one fighter, piloted by a Kree Star Trooper, caught up.

So this is most likely the difficulty that Nick Fury and others encountered in escaping.

The number of Kree troops boarding the ship was slightly larger than expected. In fact, Black Superman forgot that a large number of Skrull soldiers also came aboard with Nick Fury and others.

Although their total number is still less than that of the Kree, at least it is not like in the movie, where there is only one General Talos who has to protect a group of civilian Skrulls and is chased everywhere.

Judging from the situation, although Nick Fury and his team were still at a disadvantage, Carol Danvers in her binary state could easily be held back as long as she hadn't started a killing spree, making it difficult for her to support the others.

The Kree, who had the advantage in numbers, of course came out in full force to suppress the rebellious prisoners and defeat the defecting members of the team again.
