American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

Bill looked in the direction of the sound and saw a very young man sitting on the sofa, holding the M1911 that Bill used for self-defense and checking the magazine.

"Can you shoot, Dr. Bill?"

Ava looked at the man in front of her warily, and suddenly asked, "Are you sent by S.H.I.E.L.D."

Dane ejected the bullets from the magazine one by one, letting the brass bullets make a crisp sound on the floor, and then he quickly disassembled the pistol into its parts.

Seeing this, Bill relaxed instead. At least the other party didn't look like they were out to kill them.

Ava obviously noticed this, but she only relaxed a little, but did not dare to let her guard down completely, because she still didn't know how the other party appeared here without anyone noticing.

It’s a bit unbelievable to say. In the past, Ava always appeared to other people in the form of a "ghost", but today she was taught to be a human being by others.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Dane Davis. I'm a businessman, and Umbrella Corporation is my company."

"What do you want from us?"

"I am very interested in a technology you have and would like to invite you to join my laboratory to collaborate and uncover the secrets of the quantum world."

Chapter 737 Coveting Future Technology

"I think we have other options." Ava said, a fierce light flashed in her eyes, and her body flashed as she quickly approached Dane.

She was not afraid of the gun in the other party's hand at all, because this weapon could not hurt her.

But she forgot one thing, Dane didn't need to hurt her, he just needed to be able to hurt Bill.

So he put his hand on Bill, making him unable to resist instantly, and Ava was forced to stop her actions.

"It's amazing. Your body structure is different from that of ordinary people, right?"

Dane had already released hormones when he entered the room, but now it seems that only Bill was affected, while Ava was not affected at all.

"Let Bill go!"

"Of course. Actually, I don't want to do anything to him. As long as you can listen to me calmly, okay?"

Ava hesitated for a moment and could only nod helplessly.

Dane patted Bill, and he suddenly woke up.

"I...what happened?" He looked confused and helpless.

"How did you do that?" Ava frowned.

Dane Yaoyao pointed his finger: "We haven't established a sufficient foundation of trust between us yet, it's not appropriate for you to ask this."

"Since you know there is no basis of trust between us, why do you think we will believe you?" Ava sneered.

At this moment, Bill suddenly jumped up without warning, stretched out his hands, and pressed his upper body towards Dane.

He once participated in the Goliath Giant Project with the original Ant-Man. With the help of the battle suit, he can transform into a 21-foot giant. He has also participated in combat training. Although he is not proficient in it, he can still achieve proficiency.

Although he has switched to civilian work in recent years and his strength is not as strong as before, Bill thinks that the chances of success in a sneak attack are not small.

Ava has been performing special agent missions for many years and has a very quick reaction. Seeing this, she immediately cooperated with Bill and launched an attack.

But they all underestimated Dane's strength.

Dane pressed down with his left hand, holding down Bill's head, and jumped lightly to avoid the attack from behind.

A pair of long legs swept out and kicked Ava in the head.

But Ava's figure flashed, and Dane's leg passed through it, without any feeling of the kick.

Ava punched him on the head, but Dane blocked it with his right hand. He then grabbed Ava's wrist with his backhand, twisted his body and threw her. His enhanced strength sent the petite Ava flying backwards, landing her with Bill.

By the time Bill and Ava hurriedly stood up, Dane had already reassembled the M1911. For him, this was as easy as eating and drinking.

He pointed the gun at Bill and instantly seized the weak spot of both men.

"Can you calm down now? My patience has its limits."

Bill growled quietly to Ava, "Go!"

Ava didn't move.

Dane was helpless. How could he be made to look like a real villain? He put down his gun.

"I don't know what you just went through, but you seem to be overly stressed. How can I convince you that I'm really here for quantum technology?"

"How did you know about us?" Bill calmed down a little. He seemed to see that Dane really had no hostility.

Dane smiled and said, "I don't think Dr. Bill has forgotten Dr. Pym, has he?"

Bill's face changed. "Are you here for the Pym particles? I don't have anything like that!"

This guy, why can't he understand what people say...

"I repeat, the only thing I'm interested in is your knowledge of quantum physics..."

He simply used his ability to temporarily hypnotize Bill and make him believe what he said. If it weren't for the subjective initiative of the researcher himself, Dane would have fooled him away long ago.

After a lot of twists and turns, he finally succeeded in getting Dr. Bill to agree to join Umbrella and promised to give him enough support to help him heal Ava. Perhaps this was what really touched him.

Nick is a guy who has done a lot of harm to people. If he hadn't deceived Ava before, causing her to be suspicious of everyone now, recruiting Dane might have been easier.

Dane has investigated in this world and found that the historical trajectory of the first generation Ant-Man Dr. Pym is the same as that of the MCU. It was almost in the 1980s. In order to dismantle a missile, the first generation Wasp Janet shrunk herself to the subatomic level, but accidentally trapped herself in the quantum field.

There, she met Kang the Conqueror, who was also trapped in the Quantum World and was exiled by the other Kangs.

Janet didn't know Kang's true identity at first, so she helped him and almost prevented him from escaping.

When she realized Kang's true nature as a conqueror, she fled from him, leaving him trapped in the Quantum Realm.

However, relying on future technology, Kang still built a huge empire there. To be honest, Dane was a little envious of Kang's future technology.

According to the setting, Kang's original name was Nathaniel Richards. He was an Earthling from the 31st century and had some blood relationship with Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four.

But he is not a superhuman. Kang is a real ordinary person. All his abilities come from technology that surpasses the current era, and these high technologies are in line with the Earth's technology tree. This is also what Dane values.

Looking at the later stages of the MCU, we can see that humanity's technological tree has become somewhat distorted. Although humanity acquired some advanced alien technology after the New York War, to be honest, this did not have any progressive impact on the productivity of human society as a whole.

Large corporations, government organizations, and capitalists control cutting-edge technology, while ordinary humans still use the previous production system.

The explosion of technology seems to have only developed the technological level of a part of the population, but has not benefited the entire human race.

Dane thought of this not because he wanted to be a saint, but since he had already decided to take the technological route, he could not ignore the overall improvement of mankind. Human technology relies on the overall industrial chain and the entire production system for improvement.

Iron Man's suit relies on the supply chain of the entire Stark Group and even countries around the world. From the alloy shell to a screw, most of the components are imported from various countries.

Just like in the real world, many industries in the United States have hollowed out, so a lot of manufacturing has flowed out to other underdeveloped regions. This has led to the fact that many industrial products in the United States cannot be manufactured independently.

Stark Industries is slightly better in this regard. They can be self-sufficient in the raw materials for most of their weapons. I think Howard has encountered the troubles that industrial hollowing out will bring to the United States.

It's a pity that he died too early and too suddenly.

After Howard and his wife passed away, Obadiah came to power and, in line with the trend of the time, accelerated the outflow of manufacturing.

The reason is very simple, the cost of hiring outside is cheaper!

If you have never done business in America, you can't imagine how difficult it is to hire workers here.

Not only must the salary meet the prescribed standards, but the daily benefits must also be full, and they must be given enough respect at work, otherwise the union will teach you a lesson. Once you are entangled by the union members, there will be no peace.

Obadiah is a typical capitalist who can only see the immediate benefits in a short-sighted way, so he strongly supports the construction of raw material processing plants abroad.

But this is not without benefits. At least when aliens bomb America, other human industrial facilities can remain intact.

Therefore, all the parts of Tony Stark's Mark suit basically come from all over the world. It can be said that the entire human industry chain supports him in becoming a superhero.

This also makes Iron Man a very special one among many superheroes. His power lies not only in the symbol of "Iron Man", but also in the human productivity represented by it.

Tony Stark once proposed a very dangerous plan, which was to arm the earth with the Iron Legion. As long as the whole world worked hard, it would not be impossible to cover the earth's sky with the Iron Legion.

Tony Stark is just an ordinary person, but when he gets the support of the whole world, he can produce unlimited troops. At that time, even if Thanos without gems comes, he will most likely kneel down.

In the Marvel world, the human wave tactic has always been a significantly effective strategy. It has been used in everything from interstellar wars to village fights (Wakanda and Talokan). Even Thanos used this tactic before he obtained the Infinity Stones.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Dane found that Conqueror Kang's technology seemed to be somewhat different. To some extent, it had broken away from its dependence on large-scale systematic industrial chains, and could already build a complete industrial system and technology tree from scratch by one person.

This is very similar to the concept of the God of Technology in the Super Seminary, where one person is a civilization, but it feels like something is missing.

After all, Kang himself is just an ordinary person apart from his knowledge of science and technology.

So common that a fruit knife could kill him.

Chapter 738: Well said, don’t say it again next time

The year came to 2009, and the day after New Year's Eve, Tony Stark released a bombshell news.

"I am Iron Man!"

This sentence brought Tony Stark's reputation to its peak. Stark Industries, which had been losing ground due to the closure of its weapons department, was revived by the headline "Tony Stark is Iron Man", and its stock price soared against the odds.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Tony quickly released the news that Stark Industries was about to enter the energy industry and that the Ark Reactor could be used in commercial applications.

Some new energy companies and power industry giants followed suit and responded one after another.

Stimulated by this good news, Stark's stock price soared to a sky-high price, and Umbrella also successfully took a seat at the Stark shareholders' meeting by relying on its bottom-fishing behavior during the previous low stock price period.

And although it was not Dane's intention, he seemed to have indirectly caused Tony Stark's distrust of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Nick Fury looked at the speaker on the TV news, his face darkening.

"Phil, how could you possibly fail?"

This is what puzzled him. Phil is the most friendly person in S.H.I.E.L.D. Everyone who talks to him can feel his sincerity from the bottom of his heart. Isn't Tony Stark always soft-hearted?

Also, now that they've revealed Howard Stark's connection to S.H.I.E.L.D., why does Tony become even more disgusted with them than before?

Nick frowned, a little confused.

At this time, it was Natasha, the outsider, who saw it most clearly.

"Nick, does Stark know what caused his parents' death?"

In fact, SHIELD had clues about the death of Howard and his wife for a long time, and they also had a copy of the surveillance tape that captured the murderer.

As an aside, Captain America has most likely seen this video.

In "Captain America 2", Steve learned for the first time that Bucky was still alive, and it was impossible for him not to investigate the Winter Soldier's intelligence.

Natasha and the Winter Soldier had fought before, and the people inside SHIELD must know about this person.

Then, by following the clues, it would not be difficult to find evidence that Winter Soldier killed Howard.

Moreover, SHIELD doesn't even need to pretend, because Zora obviously has the video backup, and if Hydra has it, it means SHIELD has it too.

Then there is a high probability that Captain America knew that the Winter Soldier had done this.

In the Civil War plot, after watching the surveillance video, Iron Man once asked Captain America whether he knew about this. Steve was speechless, but his silence actually explained the problem.

Now the development of things has gradually deviated from the trajectory of the sacred timeline. Natasha has not had time to fight the Winter Soldier, but she learned the cause of Howard's death through the files that were declassified in advance.

Since Tony Stark is going to be told some of Howard's things, the internal files will naturally be declassified. Of course, this is only open to some agents with higher authority. Although Natasha has just joined, she is already a level 7 agent, the same level as Hawkeye.

Phil Coulson is a Level 8 agent with higher authority than Natasha. He not only knows that the person who killed Howard was the Winter Soldier, he even knows that the Winter Soldier's true identity is most likely Bucky Barnes, Captain America's closest comrade-in-arms and one of the outstanding members of the Howling Commandos.

Phil is a die-hard fan of Captain America and knows all the information about him. If he had watched the video, it would not be difficult to see that the face looks exactly like Bucky.

Facing Natasha's question, Nick was silent for a moment before answering, "I don't think it's appropriate to let Tony know about this right now."

Stark was already a problem before, and now that Tony has become Iron Man, he will be even more troublesome. If he finds out that his parents didn't die in an accident but were murdered, Nick doesn't dare to bet on the possibility that he will lose his mind.

Huh?

Natasha's words reminded him that Tony's aversion to S.H.I.E.L.D. might come from this.

As a smart man, he must have realized that since Howard has close ties with S.H.I.E.L.D., his parents' death was most likely not an accident.

He glanced at Natasha and his evaluation of this female agent went up a level. She was able to accurately find the cause of the incident and subtly hinted to him that level 7 was far from her limit. Perhaps her level could be raised a little further?

Since Tony's situation has developed to this point, we might as well put it aside for now. Anyway, when the other party is poisoned by palladium, S.H.I.E.L.D. will always have a chance...

However, what Nick didn't know was that Tony Stark had already foreseen the palladium poisoning.

He is not a fool. Putting this radioactive element in the chest cavity, anyone with a normal brain would know that this is not a long-term solution.

However, Tony discovered that the new arc reactor that Natasha brought him did not have any radioactive contamination and was completely clean, which surprised Tony Stark very much.

"Jarvis, have we tried all the elements?"

"Yes, sir, we have tried every possible element on the periodic table."
