Chapter 2120 The Ultimate New World (Twenty-Seven)
Steve sighed deeply.
It's not that he has a stereotype against researchers, but there are indeed some people who can be said to be more troublesome than helpful.
Steve learned from the person in charge that the cameras at two of the three exits of the particle laboratory were broken, and they had been broken for half a year. This group of people can even set up a project to build the sun, but no one is going to repair the cameras.
But Steve didn't give up. He asked to see Dr. Otto's research materials. The person in charge didn't refuse and introduced them on the way to the laboratory.
"After Dr. Otto came to us, he continued his research on the artificial sun project and integrated the results with our research, and made a significant breakthrough."
Steve understood that this was just his cover-up. This experiment was an artificial sun project. There had been no progress for many years, but recently a major breakthrough had been made. This was most likely Otto's contribution.
"However, Dr. Otto's development direction of the artificial sun is different from ours. He hopes to maintain completely stable properties through a single ignition, so he has been trying to find a kind of ignition particle, and it seems that there have been some breakthroughs recently."
Steve thought of what Otto and Peter said on the phone. It seemed that Otto had found this particle, and hurriedly called Peter to see it, but after seeing it, the two disappeared.
Otto's research results did not seem to have anything to keep secret. Steve quickly got the information, but he couldn't understand it, so he could only send it to Nick.
Nick found a nuclear physics expert and finally concluded that Otto found a mysterious factor in San Francisco that could become the perfect ignition particle for his artificial sun project. This factor has very magical properties, but Otto did not record the specific properties in detail.
Nick immediately called Steve and said, "Do you think this mysterious factor found by Dr. Otto is related to the mutation of San Francisco residents?"
Steve obviously thought of this point. Otto had just come to San Francisco recently. Before coming to San Francisco, he had not made much progress in the field of artificial sun, but after coming, he made a breakthrough.
The mysterious factor mentioned in his experimental data seems to have very strange properties, and the mutations of San Francisco residents are also magical.
Through the investigation data provided by SHIELD, Steve already knows that the mutation of San Francisco residents is not ugly and weird, but more beautiful and strong. He and Nick immediately linked the emergence of this mutation with the so-called mysterious factor.
The universe where Schiller is located has not had an outbreak of the Extremis virus. This virus may have been studied, but it has never had the opportunity to cause trouble, and Nick has never seen it.
Although Nick knew that this thing should be put into the water source through the previous future timeline, he did not understand the nature of its existence, and could not be sure that it was a virus.
What if the virus is just a trick? It is very likely that the real effect is a mysterious factor in the medicine.
In the end, all the clues point to the white can again.
Nick guessed that the mysterious factor studied by Otto might be the virus that the white can put into the water source of San Francisco. In order not to expose his conspiracy, the white can killed and silenced.
But the situation was under Bai Can's control at the time. He knew Spider-Man was also a superhero. If he died unclearly, it would inevitably cause public opinion, so suicide would be the best way to die.
Nick took a deep breath, and the anger in his chest burned fiercely.
November 12, Stark Industrial Park, San Francisco Bay Area, 8:00 AM.
With a snap, the phone was thrown on the table. Pepper Potts turned his head and looked at his subordinates with wide eyes and said, "What did you say? Our factory is suspected of illegal discharge. The agents of the California Bureau of Investigation are here?!"
"What the hell are they doing?!" Pepper bit her teeth in disbelief and said, "We don't have any chemical industry here, and there is no sewage discharge at all. How can there be illegal discharge?! Are their brains filled with water?!"
Da Da Da, a series of heavy and hurried footsteps appeared outside the door. The agent of the California Bureau of Investigation knocked on the door and said to Pepper while showing his ID.
"Hello, Miss Pepper Potts, this is Trevor Andarco, an agent of the California Bureau of Investigation. We have received a large number of reports that Stark's four factories in San Francisco have illegally discharged sewage, causing water pollution and mutations of residents. Now our bureau requires relevant personnel to cooperate with the investigation, please."
"Are you crazy?!" Pepper shouted in disbelief: "Stark Group does not have any chemical plants on the West Coast, how could it illegally discharge sewage?!"
"Metal smelting sewage, ma'am, and suspected heavy metal exceeding the standard and nuclear leakage."
Pepper's mouth was wide enough to fit an egg. She opened her mouth and closed it, then opened it again and said: "It's ridiculous."
"Ma'am, we have sufficient evidence to stand firm. Please allow me to ask you a question. Anthony Stark, the actual controller of the Stark Group and the chief scientist of the Stark Group, has had symptoms of palladium poisoning, right?"
"Of course, but that's when he..."
"He used a new element to build the Ark reactor and solved his own crisis. We now suspect that he widely used reactors that had not been safety tested in Stark Group's factories, causing some harmful elements to leak."
Pepper was completely stunned. She didn't understand how the two things were related, but the expressions of several subordinates behind her seemed a little shaken.
For Pepper, who knew Tony Stark very well, this kind of thing was unimaginable, because Pepper knew very well that Stark's anxiety brought him symptoms similar to paranoia. He was very anxious about the controllability of technology. If a technology had the possibility of being uncontrollable, he would never use it. So he would never use the technology of the Ark reactor in ordinary factories.
But other people didn't think so. On the one hand, this technology was indeed very advanced, and ordinary people simply couldn't understand the principle and didn't know the safety factor. On the other hand, from common sense, since this thing was so powerful, why not use it on a large scale?
Pepper's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. Once the technology of the Ark reactor was involved, Stark would definitely jump up as if his tail was stepped on, and she couldn't stop him.
This pure slander could not be groundless. The best way to break the situation was not to use scientific testing to prove that they did not violate the regulations, but to ask relevant stakeholders to mediate. In short, it was to use political means.
But Stark would never allow anyone to say that his Ark reactor would leak. He would definitely try every means to prove that his technology was perfect.
Pure trap, Pepper thought, the other party must know Tony Stark very well, otherwise it would be impossible to create such a perfect situation.
Suddenly, Pepper saw the notebook on the table flashing in the reflection of the glass.
Pepper turned around but there was nothing. At this time, her mobile phone vibrated, and a text message sent by an unknown network number appeared on her mobile phone screen. It was a program.
As if she remembered something, Pepper immediately perfunctorily said a few words to the agent of the California Bureau of Investigation, hurried to Stark's office, and found his dedicated computer.
Then he called up the program run box, typed in the content sent by the text message, and after pressing the enter key, a video appeared in the center of the screen.
"Pepper, I'm glad you found me." Stark's face appeared in the center of the screen. He said, "Just now, I woke up. I learned that I am your backup consciousness of Tony Stark. I always admire your wisdom and decisiveness."
"Listen, Pepper, we may not have time. I found in the database of Stark Tower that the me who is currently active in the real world is studying the Extremis virus created by Maya Hansen. He modified it to make it more contagious and powerful."
"The most fatal thing is that I found in the research log written by this Stark that he has the need to launch experiments on this virus. According to my understanding of myself, I am afraid He has already done so. "
"How is it possible? Tony!" Pepper couldn't believe it at all. She shook her head and said, "Why did he release the virus? What good is this for us and the Stark Group? Biochemistry and medicine are not the main sources of profit for the Stark Group at all."
"Maybe he wants to expand his profit channels." Stark sighed and said, "Anyway, the Stark you are facing now is very wrong. I am searching for more evidence in the database and trying to control the armor. You'd better hold him back. Be safe, Pepper."
The video ended. Pepper hammered the table hard, bit her lip, stood up, and took a deep breath.
After hearing the footsteps, she looked up and found that the California Bureau of Investigation agent was standing outside the door looking at her.
Pepper thought, it turned out that this was not a frame-up at all, but a conspiracy that was exposed, but as the CEO of the Stark Group, could she say that she didn't know? I'm afraid no one would believe it.
Pepper's brain was spinning rapidly. Soon, she calmed down and walked towards the agent with firm steps.
San Francisco Silicon Valley, 7:20AM.
Bruce carried Aisha down from the car, and the two sneaked around the side wall of the building. Aisha bit off the lock on the back door.
The two quickly sneaked into the building along the wall. Under Aisha's guidance, they avoided the surveillance cameras, sneaked into the building as quickly as possible, and took the public elevator to the computer room of the information company.
Aisha immediately started to operate on the computer. Bruce walked to the window and looked down from the window on the 22nd floor. The morning rush hour had not yet arrived, and there were not many vehicles on the street.
Suddenly, a police car with sirens rushed out from the corner of the street. Bruce narrowed his eyes because he recognized it as a car from the California Bureau of Investigation. Looking in the direction of the car, Bruce saw the building of Stark Industrial Park on the skyline.
"Are you ready? Aisha." Bruce asked.
"It's almost done. It's not difficult to release Stark's backup consciousness." Aisha took a deep breath. The tight time made her speak more fluently. She continued, "But we must put the evidence of the evil Stark in front of him."
"Wait." Bruce said with some doubts, "If you haven't released the backup consciousness yet and haven't shown him the evidence, then why did the California Bureau of Investigation go to Stark Park? Someone called the police before us?"
"Okay, it's done." Aisha jumped off the chair and said, "Iron Man has been released. The next one is Osborn. Let's go."
Bruce quickly picked up Aisha. It was almost time for work. There were bustling footsteps in the corridor. According to Aisha's guidance, Bruce avoided the crowd and successfully returned to the car.
Bruce stepped on the accelerator and the car drove away from the street at the fastest speed and drove towards the suburbs against the direction of the morning rush hour. Obviously, the destination was the Osborn Medical Experiment Center.
Just as the car drove onto the highway, Bruce and Aisha found that the car windows were covered with a thin layer of fog.
On the road in the morning on the West Coast, which is always warm and balmy, a cold fog that does not belong here floated.
Those who have headaches and fever every day, please take care of your health
