Chapter 252: Howard's Underground Warehouse
The red luxury sports car, speeding rapidly on the winding road, left a black elongated business car far behind, almost unable to see the tail lights, no matter how hard Harpy tried, he couldn't close the distance with Stark, but was thrown farther and farther away.
After leaving S.H.I.E.L.D.'s New Jersey base, at Parker's strong request, he was sent back to his aunt's house, transferred to Stark's factory near Flushing, took Stark's bodyguard and chauffeur, Harpy, and drove all the way north of Twist.
Banner sat in the black van, looking out the window at the trees that were reversing so fast that they were almost connected, and asked, "Has Stark been driving so fast all the time?" β
"Don't you know?" From the half-open window, Greer looked at the cold winter earth outside, and said, "He has participated in the Monaco Grand Prix of the Formula One World Championship. β
"In the village where I used to be, the TVs were all black and white, and I hadn't seen a computer or smartphone for almost a year," Banner said with a wry smile, "S.H.I.E.L.D. is really powerful, so they can find me." β
Grell turned his head, closed the window, and blocked the whirring cold wind, and said, "Then you should hide in the deep mountains and old forests, the kind that doesn't see the light of day, you must know that S.H.I.E.L.D. has no shortage of satellites." β
"So I'm not hiding, whatever they do." There was a hint of helplessness in Banner's tone, counting that he had been hiding for eight or nine years, running to work as a worker in a soda factory in the slums of Brazil, and was discovered and then hunted down by the military; I finally escaped, so I just ran farther away, and went directly to the poorer Africa, but I still couldn't escape S.H.I.E.L.D., and if I hid farther away, I could only run to outer space.
"There's no need to hide, as soon as you get angry, the earth will tremble, and they should be the ones who are afraid."
Banner glanced at Grell and said with a smile: "Hulk is not as obedient as your armor, he comes and goes as soon as he is called, he feels so bad when he comes out, if it is possible, I really don't want him to come out." β
One wants to come out to breathe, the other doesn't want the other party to come out, how can there be no contradiction, probably Banner has been pressing Hulk and not letting him come out, so he was stuffed into the trunk as if he was retaliated against, and he played happily for three years.
At noon, the group finally arrived at the Stark family's warehouse district in the northern part of the Twist, and the door of the red sports car parked on the lawn opened, and Stark stepped down and shouted at Harpy, who was belated, "Wow, I didn't dump you." β
"BOSS, my car skills have also improved." Harpy said through the window as he drove the car into the garage and walked towards the elevator with the big bags on the car.
Stark, who was wearing a suit and leather shoes, leather shoes and sunglasses, raised his hand and said to Banner as if showing off: "Surrounded by forests and fields, if you can't help it, you can run away and get angry, don't mind the desolation now, the design drawings are not yet complete, I plan to expand this place into a steel suit manufacturing and testing base integrating laboratories, processing plants, and training grounds, what kind of laboratory do you want, say it early, and you won't be able to add it to the design drawings when it's late." β
"Uhhh β
"I've been washing test tubes with machines for a long time, and it seems that you have to be familiar with it for a long time, and there have been a lot of new experimental instruments in recent years."
"yes, I've derailed from the world."
As soon as the three of them walked into the five-story building on the left, the loudspeaker on the wall rang, and Daisy's slightly excited voice came from it: "Mr. Stark, Greer, I have a big discovery, come here." β
"The Big Discovery? Did she find the last century factory doll in the warehouse? β
"This isβ" Banner listened to the voice with a blank expression.
"Daisy, I... Girlfriend! β
"Oh!"
As soon as the automatic door of the central control room, which occupies most of the fourth floor, opened, Daisy pounced and dragged Grell inside, with an irrepressible excited smile on her face, and said, "You can't guess, what did I find?" β
"An out-of-print doll from the factory in the last century? That's what Mr. Stark guessed, and I'm more inclined to Transformers. β
"What, it's not such a thing, I found a hidden underground warehouse, and the area is very large," Daisy said and sat in front of the computer next to her, her hands tapped on it quickly, called up a document, and explained without looking back: "This is the circuit diagram of the base, some places obviously only have street lights, but the power consumption is very high, occupying more than half of this base, and the distribution of these power consumption points is very even, I think it is the ventilation system." Also, I found the design in the server of this base, overlay it, and reset the unified drawing specifications, and it became like this..."
Daisy said and hit the enter key, and several design drawings of buildings and parking lots and other buildings on the big screen were superimposed, and the upper and lower layers of drawings formed a complete drawing.
This situation is exactly the same as the Mark1 design used by Stark in the cave, which is just a single part drawn on different drawings separately, but can be stacked together to form a whole - Mark1 design.
Stark looked at the design on the screen, which was estimated to have an actual area of thousands of square meters, opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and muttered in a low voice: "How many surprises did you leave behind?" β
With the addition of new elements hidden in the frame, there are already two, how many have not been discovered? This reminds Stark of Nick Fury, who is full of secrets, and Howard, who is the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., is this also the case?
Thinking about it, his son has lived for half his life and doesn't know that his father is the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I don't know how many other secrets are hidden?
"Where's the entrance?" Stark asked, only to realize that it was just a child, and immediately added, "Jarvis, have you found the entrance to this underground warehouse?" β
"Sir, Miss Johnson just found the entrance to the base this morning, in the basement of this building, I have deciphered the code, but the underground warehouse is not connected to the Internet, I have no way of knowing the situation inside."
"Looks like we're going to go, do you want to go together?" Stark had already taken off his sunglasses as he spoke, pulled out a flashlight from the side, and was about to set off.
"I'm in a hurry." Grell hurriedly followed, and Daisy jumped up from her chair and ran along, if it weren't for Stark, the owner of this base, she would have gone in and had a look.
"Uh... Are you sure you want me to go underground? Banner shouted, but found that no one was paying attention, shrugged helplessly, and muttered in a low voice, "I hope there is nothing frightening there." β
Harpy was just about to come out of the elevator with his things, when he saw Stark and a few of them walk in one by one, and directly pressed the first floor, which made Harpy stunned: "BOSS, I haven't put anything yet." β
"Throw it aside, let's go on an adventure first."
"Adventure? Basement? Harpy looked dazed and surprised, the basement has not been renovated, it is still a parking lot, what is the fun, his own boss is bored and crazy.
"That's right!"
The elevator door opened, Stark took the lead and walked out, the lights in the basement were not bright, it was still the incandescent lamp and lampshade of the last century, fortunately it was properly maintained, all the lights were on, if it was a flash, it was really an adventure.
With Jarvis's instructions and Daisy's guidance, the group turned to the northernmost side of the basement, and against the wall was a large pile of rusty iron shelves, on which there was nothing but cobwebs, and the contents on them were long gone.
"Where's the door?" Banner looked at the ten-meter-long wall and said, "This area is a little too big. β
"Yes, it's much bigger than the ground," Stark turned on the flashlight in his hand, but there was no light coming out, or it was invisible, moving from left to right, and when it shone three meters to the left, Jarvis's voice came from Stark's headset: "Sir, this is a downward cavity, modeled and shown, for the elevator shaft." β
"Found it." Stark immediately stepped forward, moved the iron shelf away from the wall with Greer, fumbled around the rough wall for a while, pressed a small button on the wall, and immediately opened a flap on the wall one meter five above the ground, on which was a very primitive cipher disk.
"Jarvis, tell me the password!" Stark said as he pointed the 'lamp' in his hand at the cipher disk, and entered the fourteen-digit password as Jarvis instructed.
This scene made Grell a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he thought of the S.H.I.E.L.D. initial base found by Steve and Romanoff in "American Team 2", which seems to be the same way, with iron shelves on the wall, elevators in the walls, and passwords that need to be entered.
As Greel was thinking, the walls opened to reveal a dilapidated elevator, the kind of elevator that was running with a 'creak!' Creak! The sound is still shaky, and people are worried about whether it will fall.
Stark's face has always been very serious, and he silently counted when the elevator went down, and waited until it completely stopped before he spoke: "Thirty-two meters underground, let me see what is hidden?" β
With Stark's words, the rusty elevator doors opened, and the lights on the ceiling turned on one after another, none of them were not lit, and hundreds of lights illuminated this underground warehouse with an area of three or four thousand square meters.
As far as the eye can see, there are shelves that are only one meter apart and four meters high, filled with paper folders and boxes with different numbers printed in several colors, and it is impossible to count how many shelves there are, let alone how many things are on them.
Dr. Banner pulled out his glasses, put them on his eyes, looked closely at the neatly arranged shelves in front of him, and said, "Is this an old library?" β
"He shouldn't be bored to that extent." Stark walked out of the elevator as he spoke, to the nearest shelf, and pulled out a folder at random, blowing off the dust on it, and saw the black eagle totem flying with its wings spreading.
"S.H.I.E.L.D!" Grell muttered, looked up and looked around, and said, "Here... It's not all S.H.I.E.L.D. information. β
"S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Dr. Banner was even more surprised, and then pulled out a few documents, all of which were printed with the eagle pattern of S.H.I.E.L.D., and ran through several shelves, whether it was a folder or a numbered box, all of them were clearly printed with the pattern of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Banner put down the papers in his hand, poked his head out, and asked Stark, who was three shelves apart, "Why do you have S.H.I.E.L.D. stuff here?" β
"My father was the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D...."
"What?" Stark's words were a shock to Dr. Banner's eyes.
"It's incredible, it's been more than thirty years before I know that my father is the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it seems that agents are like this." The look on Stark's face didn't know if he was crying or laughing.
"Uhhhh
Grell was also flipping through the mountains of information, and said while reading: "These are all classified information of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I have agent attendance records here: mission time, mission location, mission report... What does Mr. Howard do with keeping these things? β
"The information I have here records the special items collected and sealed by S.H.I.E.L.D.," Daisy said cautiously, flipping through the dirty documents to keep the dust from rubbing on her clothes, "I also saw a lot of Hydra's weapon blueprints, including guns, tanks, and airplanes." β
Stark no longer looked through the materials, but walked in this vast basement, trying to see if there was anything else besides documents and boxes, but he was saying in his heart, "Father, what are you leaving this for?" β
The new elements are hidden in the frame, the warehouse where a large amount of S.H.I.E.L.D. materials are stored underground, and even the design drawings are divided into several parts, turning them into drawings of above-ground buildings, claiming to be the warehouse of the Stark family, and there are also many commemorative things produced by Stark Industries, such as the first hovercar and the like.
If Daisy hadn't stumbled upon it, how long would this underground warehouse be hidden? I'm afraid it will always be so dusty underground, after all, no one is idle and boring to dig dozens of meters into the ground, and the ceiling of the basement is also sealed with several layers of lead plates, unless it is to mobilize more than a dozen satellites and instruments to detect it at close range, don't want to find this underground warehouse.
Is it so hidden, are you afraid that someone will find out? So what is it that makes his father, the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., so cautious that he is so afraid that he doesn't dare to say anything about this to his son.
And that car accident, is it really a vehicle breakdown? Or did his father find out something before he was killed? Just like before, he found Obadai's steel suit, and was immediately attacked by Obadai, and almost didn't die, didn't his father escape?
