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

In fact, what Kevin wanted most was Umbrella's shares, but unfortunately, this was simply impossible.

However, in the future, Umbrella will vigorously develop Hell's Kitchen. As a well-known local company, Rand Group will also participate in many of the projects.

Generally speaking, they can still get a share of the pie. Although the CIA is greedy, it is also very patient.

As for Dane, the last thing he lacked right now was patience. As time drew closer to that event, the advantage would always tilt in his favor.

Chapter 818 We all have a bright future

Time flies and it is 2010. After several months, the environmental governance of Hell's Kitchen has begun to show results.

On the site of the former Midtown Circle Financial Company, Umbrella rebuilt a new biotechnology laboratory.

"It seems that the amount of vibranium circulating in the market has become more than before."

The new Asian lab assistant, Zhao Hailun, came to Dane with a tablet in hand.

Dane finished the final step of the experiment before looking up: "But it's not enough."

It has been reduced from a few grams to dozens of grams. Even if it is mixed with alloys, it is not enough to make a shield.

He looked at the assistant beside him who was recording something with his head down. The other person was only 20 years old this year, but his temperament still looked like a student who had not yet graduated.

Zhao Hailun was not a talent found by Dane, but he applied to join on his own initiative.

As a rare female genius in the Marvel world, Zhao Hailun, who is only 20 years old, has completed all college credits and graduated with the highest honors.

In the original movie, Zhao Hailun finally worked in Seoul, the capital of the Universe, where he developed a regeneration cradle.

But to be honest, in a place like Universe Country, it is difficult for a woman with Zhao Hailun's looks to choose her own place of work.

I guess in the original movie, she also applied for a laboratory in the United States, and later returned to work in China with this qualification.

"Helen, have you applied for a green card?"

The electronic pen in Helen's hand paused for a moment, and then she said calmly, "I applied, but was rejected."

"what reason?"

Given Zhao Hailun's talent and academic qualifications, America should not reject such a talent.

"Because I don't want to swear allegiance to the American flag," Zhao Hailun complained. "I'm a scientist and don't believe in God. Why should I swear allegiance to a made-up Bible?"

"You make a lot of sense," Dane nodded. "Whether God exists or not is another matter, but swearing an oath to Him is definitely unnecessary."

Zhao Hailun blinked in surprise, and then his eyes curved into a crescent shape.

"If this experiment is successful, Umbrella will handle your green card issue. I remember meeting with the director of the Immigration Bureau a while ago. Not taking the oath won't be a big deal. Real Americans don't believe in that anyway."

"Okay, Boss."

For people in the Universe, getting a green card will make their value soar and also bring a lot of convenience.

For Umbrella now, this kind of thing is just a matter of a word.

Dane nodded, took off his white coat, and walked out of the lab.

Umbrella built a laboratory with the Midtown Circle as its center, naturally wanting to conduct research on dragon bones, but it was not in a hurry.

As time passes, the seal of the Dragon Bone Gate will eventually be released, and the gate will automatically collapse.

At the same time, the nearby foundations connected to the sealed door will collapse, and even affect more distant areas.

If Dane doesn't want to make the situation too serious, he has to find a way to solve this problem.

So before that, the first thing Umbrella had to do was to build a huge underground space around the dragon bone burial ground that could completely cover them, just like the underground city of the third new Tokyo in EVA, but the scope would be much smaller.

Thanks to engineering exoskeleton armor and modular construction technology, Umbrella's construction progress is astonishingly fast.

However, for the underground part where the dragon bones were buried, they adopted a strategy of digging and building at the same time, preparing to separate the area occupied by the entire dragon bones.

You don't know until you try it, and you will be shocked. When the isolation was completed, they realized that the dragon bones were so huge, and it was indeed a creature like the mythical dragon.

According to the predictions of my subordinates, judging by the size of this range, the dragon skeleton sealed inside is probably close to 150 meters in length. What does that mean?

A standard football field is about 105 meters long, and this dragon was probably as long as one and a half football fields when it was alive. A person standing at the dragon's head might not be able to see the person standing at the dragon's tail at all.

No wonder Five Fingers values this dragon bone so much. Even though dragon bones cannot truly make people immortal, such a large piece of dragon bone is enough for them to live comfortably for a long time.

By then, they may really be able to live to a future era of highly developed technology and achieve true immortality through other technological means.

Didn’t Kang achieve this by relying on technology?

However, building an underground base on such a large scale is a relatively complicated project. Even if Umbrella has the ability to simplify the construction period, the process will still take some time.

Dane not only wanted to transform it into a large underground experimental base, but also required it to be able to withstand the impact of powerful forces like the real Third New Tokyo City.

If possible, he also planned to follow the example of the Third New Tokyo City and move the buildings underground when necessary to free up a battlefield for the war that was bound to come in the future.

He came to the top floor of the newly built laboratory and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at the construction site where the building was still in full swing, feeling a sense of peace in his heart.

After Kingpin was arrested, his minions were immediately caught in the vortex of power struggle. The CIA, FBI and Atlas watched coldly while eliminating those who did not follow the rules.

Unconsciously, the number of gangs here gradually decreased. Umbrella introduced new funds and new job opportunities here under the slogan of building a new park.

—A perfectly legitimate, legal job opportunity.

Umbrella wants to carry out large-scale construction in Hell's Kitchen, so it naturally needs construction manpower. Recruiting from the local area can not only solve the local employment problem, but also solve the problem of rampant lawlessness.

If you really can't afford to eat, who would be willing to live with their head hanging on the waistband of their pants?

As a conscientious company, Umbrella pays very good wages, and the various benefits are so good that the union has nothing to complain about.

At first, some people did not believe it. People's suspicion of capitalists, just like suspicion of America itself, became a kind of political correctness.

But Umbrella proved itself with its actions. In the end, there were fewer and fewer people hanging around on the streets, and more and more people joined Umbrella to build Hell's Kitchen.

The name "Hell's Kitchen" is no longer appropriate nowadays.

The reason why this illegal area has been able to exist for a long time is that the black industry here has created a lot of extra income for many bigwigs, so Jin Bing always has countless umbrellas of protection.

Today, the black industry has been eradicated by Umbrella and other organizations, but it has also brought in new income, which is also very profitable, but legal.

Under Dane's operation, the new Midtown Circle Financial Company was established across the street from the old site, and in recent times, it has led the original "big guys" to make a lot of money.

But these are just small parts. Everyone knows that once the new Hell's Kitchen is built according to plan, the local economic benefits will be thousands of times greater than they are now.

It seemed as if everyone would have a bright future.

But the smile on Dane's face was somewhat intriguing.

Chapter 819: War in Sokovia

This year, Umbrella's power has become even stronger. With the new treasure land of Hell's Kitchen, this emerging technology company is reaching the top of the world pyramid at an unimaginable speed.

The elimination of the evil in Hell's Kitchen is not only of great significance to New York City, but also an achievement that cannot be ignored for the president who has only been in office for a year.

Everyone knows that Umbrella is a supporter of the President, and to some extent, they share the same fate.

Of course, Umbrella's rise also caused dissatisfaction and fear among many people. The country's cake is so big, and if some people eat more, naturally some people will eat less.

Originally, some people who relied on the Hell's Kitchen to eat and drink, and then they offered sacrifices to the altar, but they did not know how to eat and drink.

Before being eliminated through "survival of the fittest", this group of people will always keep a covetous eye on Umbrella.

As for S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick is naturally more wary of Umbrella, the new high-tech capital company. Although his people have been keeping a close eye on Hell's Kitchen, they have never found an opportunity to intervene.

However, recently all his attention has been diverted by another matter, which, in his heart, is even more important than everything else.

"Is the news reliable?"

In the Triskelion Building, Nick used his private channel to communicate with Natasha on the other side of the ocean.

"I've already got the surveillance video, and I can only say that based on the content of the video, it looks very much like him."

Nick frowned deeply. "But that doesn't make sense. Wasn't he frozen the entire time? When did he escape? And how did he escape?"

You should know that SHIELD has spent countless manpower and resources in Greenland, and sends people there to search every once in a while, but for decades, not a single hair has been found.

He didn't believe that Steve suddenly crawled out from under the thick ice alone, but rather believed that someone dug him out.

"One more important thing, Nick."

"what?"

"I found out there's someone else with this handsome guy. They're almost inseparable."

"who is it?"

"He hid himself very well. I couldn't see clearly, but I could tell he was a man as big as a soldier."

Nick's mind raced, and he thought a lot at that moment, but he couldn't be sure.

"Natasha, keep an eye on them. I will try my best to send enough people to help you."

"Forget it, Nick. You know, this place is difficult for ordinary people to enter. Unless the person you send is a high-level agent, this place is too dangerous for you."

"The situation in Sokovia has been getting increasingly dangerous recently, and the war has reached its most intense stage. I estimate that the outcome will be soon. There's no need for you to send ordinary agents to their deaths at this time."

Sokovia! It turns out that Natasha is now in Sokovia.

Ever since he knew that Wanda had accidentally stimulated the power of chaos, Dane asked her to speed up her learning process.

Chaos magic is a magical power that is omnipotent. It is almost equivalent to the wishing machine itself and can fulfill any bizarre wish of the owner.

In the comics, Scarlet Witch was once so powerful that she could completely modify the real universe.

Just because of the words "no mutants", mutants really disappeared completely from the world.

Huh? If that's the case, then can the movie universes that can't be merged together due to lack of copyright be understood as other multiverses derived from this mutant-free model?

In short, after Wanda developed the subjective desire to learn, under the influence of chaos magic, her academic progress was rapid, and she soon reached the theoretical requirements.

Then, while following Pepper, she learned how to manage talents.

So two months ago, Wanda left America and went to Sokovia to fulfill her promise to Dane.

Pietro chose to go back with her because he was worried about her safety. He did not awaken his super powers, but after training at the base, his combat ability was much different from before.

Of course, before leaving, the brother and sister also took away Atlas' elite troops. No matter what, Dane would never let them face the Hydra there alone.

The relevant techniques and concepts learned can be used to lead the rebels and govern the country, but these cannot replace weapons on the battlefield.

With Atlas's military strength, it was not unreasonable to conquer a country consisting only of city-states.

But their opponents are no easy task either.

Sokovia, Night...

The armed resistance led by Wanda and Pietro are hiding in the corners of the city. Behind them are members of the resistance equipped with a variety of Atlas weapons, as well as some Atlas special forces wearing exoskeleton armor.

Since the brother and sister returned to the city with Atlas special forces and weapons and equipment, the flames of resistance that had been extinguished by Hydra have been rekindled.

They formed a new team from factories, workshops, concentration camps, prisons and other places. These people who regained their freedom once again launched an attack on Hydra with full hatred for the organization.

This time, they chose the battlefield in the city.

Not only because there is widespread popular support here, but also because many of Hydra's important factories and laboratories are located here.

Moreover, street fighting is also beneficial for Atlas to exert its special operations advantages. If fighting is carried out in the open field, the special forces are also afraid of being suppressed by Hydra's artillery fire.

In this way, the Sokovian rebels and Hydra engaged in urban warfare that lasted for two months. Both sides fought in a relatively restrained manner and suffered losses on both sides.

But overall, the rebels still have the advantage. It is still difficult for Hydra to replenish its troops, unlike the rebels, who can directly recruit people from outside.

Coupled with the intelligence provided by the Black Widow who was originally stranded here, and the secret support of the local people, the balance of this war is tilting in favor of the rebels.

Even so, Hydra persisted for two months, but as of today, 0.8, it should be at the end of its strength.

"There's something wrong with their actions tonight." Wanda frowned, sensing something unusual.

"what happened?"

"Don't you think it's a little too quiet tonight?"

"There's been a curfew lately, isn't that normal?" Pietro scratched his head.

Wanda raised her military binoculars and looked across the block. "No, even if the residents are quiet, why is Hydra also like this?"

At this moment, a strong palpitation suddenly came over Wanda, and she realized that danger was approaching.

Someone in the rear suddenly yelled, "Enemy attack!"

Then a shrill cry that sounded like neither human nor beast came from behind. The sound waves were like thunder, and seemed to awaken the silence of the entire city.
