The original plan was to mention the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, test Shi Xiaolei's attitude, and see if there was a chance to get the space gem back from him. But after a moment of deliberation, Nick Fury finally chose to give up.

After all, when Shi Xiaolei admitted that 'the gem is in my hand', he had already made his attitude very clear. Doing the math, only half a year has passed, which is not a long time, and nothing major happened that would cause him to change his mind...

Bringing it up would only be asking for trouble. In addition, Carol Danvers, an old friend, was present at the moment. He subconsciously wanted to maintain his image in front of her, so Nick Fury temporarily changed his words.

"What happened to the Ark Reactor invented by Tony? Are you saying that you dislike it because it is not powerful?" The other party did not mention it, and Shi Xiaolei did not think about the space gem. In contrast, it was another key point in Nick Fury's words that caught his attention.

While recalling certain elements in the original plot and comparing them in his mind, Shi Xiaolei continued: "As far as I know, the reactor Tony built is quite advanced. Even if it is placed in the universe, it will not be compared with other high-tech civilizations. Compared with the energy produced.”

"If he is willing to open up restrictions and share the reactor manufacturing process with us." Nick Fury shook his head and gave an explanation from another angle: "The key is not whether it is easy to use or not, but whether it can have an endless supply. The most important thing is to obtain this resource and ensure that its supply is not interrupted.”

"With SHIELD's budget..."

"It's not a matter of whether the budget is sufficient or whether I can allocate a sum of money for long-term ordering. In fact, I don't mind spending money to buy the reactor from Stark." Before Shi Xiaolei could finish speaking, Nick Fury raised his head The hand stopped him and gave a more in-depth explanation: "But you also know that no one can predict what will happen in the universe. If something happens during the trip, the reactor malfunctions. , a new one needs to be temporarily replaced..."

"Based on Stark's position, do you think he would put down his dignity, cooperate with my orders at any time, and serve as an engineer on the spaceship to sail with it? He is not an agent of SHIELD. He is dealing with me. It’s not that polite at all.”

If the spacecraft's range of activities is limited to the vicinity of the earth, there is nothing to worry about.

After all, Howard Stark contributed a lot to the establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D., so even if they are not a good match in terms of compatibility, Stark will not really reject them thousands of miles away just for the sake of karma. , do not sell reactors to them.

What's more, S.H.I.E.L.D. was originally established to protect the earth... Although it has various minor problems, from a general perspective, the position of S.H.I.E.L.D. under the control of Nick Fury is actually the same as that of Tony Stark. I have almost less. This level of 'gay' status can also earn them some face, so that they will not be blacklisted by Tony and completely cut off contact with them.

However, as Nick Fury said, the physical form of the reactor is not the point, the technology used to build it is the real key.

If you cannot fully master this technology, you will still encounter some problems. Perhaps that is not in line with Stark's original intention, but from an objective point of view, whenever a problem occurs, it will inevitably cause some trouble to SHIELD, and may even cause great losses.

"Okay, I have to admit, what you said is indeed quite important."

Not a politician, nor a professional businessman like Stark who has made friends with countless high-level figures, Shi Xiaolei usually doesn't care much about news in this area. But as a Chinese, whenever he hears similar news, he will always be deeply impressed in his heart unconsciously. Over time, he has become more or less familiar with these things.

From Shi Xiaolei's position, it is easy to understand Nick Fury's concerns.

"Fortunately, Coulson brought back a lot of information." Nick Fury sighed with a wry smile: "It may take a little more time to come up with an energy core that we can independently manufacture. Haha, at least we have it. Having hope is better than having no hope. By the way, Locke, if possible, can you rent your Minerva to us for a while?"

"Um?"

"If there are real objects as a reference, the results should be produced faster." Nick Fury promised: "Don't worry, we will not dismantle the energy furnace or engine. We will just open the cover and take a look. Absolutely not Will damage any accessories.”

"Yes, yes, but... is it necessary?" Shi Xiaolei shook his head speechlessly: "You also said that it was because you wanted to install a few more main guns, so there was a problem of insufficient energy supply. My password The Neva is just a 'yacht', it doesn't carry weapons, and it doesn't have components specifically used to power weapons. Use it as a reference? Man, did you choose the wrong target?"

"I just think that your Minerva is newer than the spaceship I have." Nick Fury shrugged: "First there is a refrigerator, and then there is an energy-saving refrigerator. Haha, maybe your ship Is the energy supply system installed on the Minerva a higher version? Perhaps it is more energy-efficient and the energy utilization rate should be better..."

"What I think is that if I really can't find a new energy source, I might try to update the energy supply system, save some energy from other places, and supply it to the weapons and equipment I want to install. If it can't be open source, then Let’s try the cost-saving method and let’s see if it works or not, it’s just an idea.”

"emmmm..." After pondering for a moment, Shi Xiaolei nodded: "Okay, I agree. But I have said it first, you can't borrow it in vain, and you have to keep your promise and don't break it."

"No problem, I promise. As for the rent, you set the price."

"I'll tell you after I think about it. Your request was too sudden, I..." At this point, Shi Xiaolei suddenly remembered something again and quickly added: "There is one more request."

"you say."

"I'll pick the location. I mean, I'm not leaving it up to you to put it wherever you want. To be honest with you, you got rid of a lot of 'bugs' ', but I'm still a little worried, and I don't think you've cleaned up all the 'bugs', so... you understand what I mean?"

“How about Hawaii?”

"Um?"

"We have a base there, we just need to tidy it up a little." Nick Fury smiled: "Originally, I planned to choose Nevada, but since you said so, let's change it to Hawaii. If it is in Over there, you will definitely not object, am I right?"

No matter which island the base is located on, as long as it is within the Hawaiian Islands, it will not escape the control of the ship girls.

"Okay, I have no objection." Thinking that Nick Fury's arrangement was quite good, Shi Xiaolei smiled and nodded in agreement.

On the other hand, Carol Danvers had a slightly surprised expression on her face.

"Nevada? Is it the place where I used to work?" Looking at Nick Fury, Carol Danvers couldn't help but confirm to him: "That base hasn't been abandoned yet? It's been almost twenty years. , has it remained the same and been operating normally until now?”

"There are still some changes." Nick Fury replied: "It is more modern than when you left. As for why it was not abandoned... Haha, when the base was built, a lot of money was invested. , it would be a pity to be honest if it were abandoned. Moreover, you also know that the year-round dry and rainless climate like Nevada is very suitable for the development of aircraft. If you replace it with other places... I mean other states in the United States. It’s a bit difficult to find a place with a similar climate.”

"What, you want to go back and take a look?" Looking at Carol Danvers, Shi Xiaolei interrupted with a smile.

"Uh." After a moment of hesitation, Carol Danvers shook her head gently: "Let's forget it."

During her time as a pilot, Carol Danvers lived a very happy life and accumulated a lot of happy memories.

However, the accident that caused her mutation, and the subsequent incident where she was taken away and brainwashed by the Kree, also happened in that place.

Not to mention whether the experience of dying in a plane crash left an indelible shadow in her heart, looking at the other side... Until now, Carol Danvers is still tirelessly fighting against the Kree. , that is to say, she has not completely let go of the things she did when she was helping others.

If the accident hadn't caused him to lose his memory, and if he hadn't been taken away and brainwashed by the Kree at that time, he wouldn't have committed so many evil things. There are still some knots in Carol Danvers's heart, and she still has some taboos about the Nevada base where the accident happened.
