Chapter 890: Bright Stars (35)

Peter returned to Stark Tower again. In the corridor, he called Coulson, but Coulson did not answer. He called Steve again, and Steve's sad and tired voice came from the other side:

"Peter, I know you can't believe it. Stark is afraid of hurting you, so he doesn't want to tell you, but I just saw the body with my own eyes..."

Steve's voice began to tremble a little. He said: "Maybe you don't know that although Nick has a long life, he relies on a special potion. That potion is different from my super soldier serum. He can't provide people with super strength and recovery ability. Peter, Nick is different from us. He is not a super soldier, just an ordinary person."

"A sniper bullet went through his chest and broke his heart. I saw the big hole in his chest and the fragments of his heart..." The sadness in Steve's tone made Peter have to believe what he said.

He knew that the captain would not lie, nor would he deliberately deceive him, and when he dealt with Nick Fury before, his spider sense also told him that the person in front of him was not a threat.

This shows that Nick Fury may be the king of agents, but his physical fitness is not much better than that of ordinary people. A sniper bullet is enough to kill him.

At this time, Schiller's voice appeared on the phone again. He said: "Peter, don't think too much. Go back to the laboratory. It will be fine in a few days. We will tell you when the funeral is held."

"I said that they will never give up! At the beginning, I warned Nick not to go alone, but he insisted on doing so. You stood on his side at the beginning. Now it's okay, right?!" Stark's voice came from the background, which was also angry and sad. He said:

"Steve Rogers, you have lost another comrade! Now, who do you want to blame? This world?"

"I said it a long time ago, the development of things is not as optimistic as you think. You will only laugh foolishly every day, and that group of people...that group of people who are engaged in conspiracy and intrigue, they are ready to take our lives anytime and anywhere!"

"Okay, Tony, this is not Steve's fault." Schiller's voice sounded. Because he was close to the microphone, Peter heard it very clearly. He heard Schiller's voice. Said: "We did overlook the fact that they dared to attack Nick..."

"Besides, there are not many assassins who dared to attack in Congress and could run away smoothly. He must be an old hand, and the person who hired him..." Schiller sighed slightly and said: "Before, the contradiction between SHIELD and the military was so sharp that no one would believe us if we said it was not done by the military."

"I will go and talk to them." Steve's voice sounded, and he said: "I must go and talk to them!"

"Is this your reaction to this?" Stark's ridicule sounded again, and he said: "Your old comrade died in front of you, and your reaction is just to talk to them? Go to negotiate with those traitors of mankind? ? Is this what you want?!"

"Okay, stop arguing, let's discuss a solution..."

Peter's hand holding the phone became tighter and tighter. Before he heard the follow-up content, he crushed the phone into pieces with a "click".

When the fragments fell to the ground, a mechanical arm fell to Peter's feet, picked up the fragments and threw them into the trash can. Peter turned around and Jarvis put a hand on his shoulder.

The eyes on the mechanical mask lit up, and Peter asked him in a trembling voice, "Jarvis, why are they doing this?"

Jarvis shook his head gently, and the sound of mechanical parts rubbing against each other seemed a little harsh. Peter closed his eyes and turned his head in the dark corridor. He clenched his fists helplessly and said:

"Every time I think everything is going in a good direction, such an accident will occur. I thought humans have united as one, and I thought we can work together. Am I really too naive?"

The tall robot squatted down and looked at Peter with shining eyes. Through the shining light, Peter gradually recalled what Nick said to him when he once kept him in SHIELD to persuade him.

"Peter, you have to know that we must seize this opportunity, seize this best period, this may be the only chance for mankind to move towards the universe." Nick looked into Peter's eyes and said, "We need more talents. This is not a shameful thing. This is the dream of mankind. No matter which universe the human beings are from, they must think so..."

Nick's eyes flashed with a different light. Peter heard a sincere hope from his tone that was completely different from his usual temperament. He said, "We don't have much time, so we need more people to work hard for this, right?"

"Director Fury, every research is done step by step. Even if we send 10,000 people to the Mercury base now and lay all the foundations, we have to wait until the research on the building components is completed." Peter pushed his glasses and explained, "Scientific research cannot be rushed. If you are eager to produce results, it is easy to make mistakes, and the losses will be greater at that time."

Nick took a deep breath and said, "Peter, I understand you. You are a researcher and will be as rigorous as possible, but you may have to try to understand the current situation..."

"What's the situation now? Isn't it good?" Peter shrugged and said, "Everything is going on in an orderly manner, whether it is the research and development of aerospace technology in various countries or the various technical researches of the Mercury base. A few days ago, I heard from Dr. Dora that another project has been closed and achieved quite good results."

Peter looked at Nick and said, "Director, you may be a little anxious. In fact, if it continues to develop steadily, sooner or later, humans will be able to step into the universe and travel among the stars."

Nick walked back to his desk and sat down. He said, "Peter, as a child of the new era, perhaps you don't know that this is not the first time that humans have been infinitely close to this great goal."

"In that era that you don't understand, we did even more than we do now. In that era of rapid development of basic science, all mankind had the dream that we would leave the shackles of gravity and fly freely in the universe. "

"Perhaps you have seen many rusty rockets and space model toys in museums of that era, and that is not an exception."

"I was born in an ordinary farmer's family in Alabama. The only toy I had was a small rocket that could be ejected."

"The principle is very simple. There is a spring at the bottom of it. Just press it to fly up a little. It doesn't fly high, and the quality is not good. After flying a few times, the paint fell off."

Nick Fury picked up the pen in his hand, made a rocket launch motion, and then let the pen fall on the table. He said : "Like this, very childish, right? But in that era, this was already a very great toy, and it was also my favorite toy."

"Later, I joined the army. During World War II, I lost an eye because of a shrapnel injury. At the same time, I was injected with drugs and gained a long life."

"During the Cold War, I served in the CIA, and my main opponent at that time was the Soviet Union."

Nick leaned back in his chair and looked at the ceiling with his only remaining eye. He said: "Perhaps it is difficult for you to imagine that although they are my opponents, people in my group and department believe that half of the future of mankind depends on them, and the KGB people think the same about us."

"We all have to prove that we are better than each other, But at the same time, we also acknowledged that the other side was strong. You may not believe that a lot of the intelligence we collected was used to praise the Soviet Union. It's incredible, right? Today you can only see smears, but in fact it was not the case at that time..."

"When their rocket was successfully launched, we expressed our admiration and acknowledged that they had made leading progress. Then, we found our aerospace department, and they would solemnly guarantee that we were not weak either."

"So, today you launch a rocket, tomorrow I test equipment. At that peak of technological development, we used a method that modern people can hardly imagine to send some equipment that now looks extremely simple into the sky, and then cheered and proud of it."

"That was the closest time for humans to the stars in tens of thousands of years. "

Peter looked at Nick in a daze. He had never thought that the director of SHIELD, who always used all kinds of glib words to persuade him to go to other universes to cheat for labor, had such a side.

He felt that at this time, Nick was very similar to Steve. People of their generation always had an amazing vitality. Unlike this era that has been blown by decadence and punk, they always had an inexplicable belief in that era.

But Peter actually knew that the technology at that time was completely incomparable to the current solar system development plan. Now, they can easily send equipment to Mercury and assemble them. No matter which era, humans have not achieved such great achievements.

Peter, standing in the corridor, admitted that at that time, he was a little contemptuous of Nick's idea.

He felt that the times would only get better and better, not go backwards. In fact, technology has indeed improved, and humans have been moving forward steadily. Why should we cling to the past?

But now , Peter understood what Nick was missing. The point of his words was not how much iron sheets were thrown into the sky by humans in that era.

Rather, Nick Fury, as a native American, an American soldier who received American education since childhood, and an excellent agent of the CIA, still missed the era when the Soviet Union still existed after so many years.

This is almost incredible. It was not the control and brainwashing of a big country over a small country, but the collision of two big countries. However, what he received was not the hatred education of ethnicity and country, but the shining stars of human beings.

Peter suddenly understood what he was anxious about. At this moment, he realized that he should not underestimate the wisdom of an immortal. The longer he lived, the more he saw human nature.

And he had always had illusions about certain things. Peter recalled that he really did not realize the essence of human nature? Perhaps not. He just used the fact of technological development to escape certain things.

Now, the gunshot in Congress told him that it was useless to escape and not to have any unnecessary fantasies. Otherwise, no matter how solid the armor or how strong the chest was, it would not be able to withstand the bullet that shattered the heart from the dark.

Putting on his battle suit and mask, Spider-Man stopped and turned to look at Jarvis, who waved to him as if saying goodbye.

Spider-Man leaped out and swung in the cold wind over New York. Standing on the roof of the Stark Building, he roared silently.

Dark clouds covered the sky, and the moonlight was no longer bright. At this moment, New York was covered by dark clouds.
