"Lightspeed engine?" Grell paused for two seconds and thought in his brain before he said, "Literally?" An engine capable of reaching the speed of light? ”

"That's right, S.H.I.E.L.D., NAUSpace, the Air Force, and S.H.I.E.L.D. have jointly formed a project: the Pegasus Project, which aims to use the Cosmic Cube to develop new energy sources and light-speed engines to increase flight speed," Stark said as he carried boxes to the cart.

"The original intention was to develop an engine to fight the MiG-25, but soon the performance of the Cosmic Cube exceeded everyone's expectations, and the speed was so fast that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration wanted to build a new generation of rocket engines to achieve the final victory of Star Wars."

Grell looked at the fragments of the box and said, "It seems that it failed in the end." ”

"That's right, the Pegasus project lasted for more than ten years, spent countless manpower and material resources, and finally ended in failure, so it was shelved, but after Nick Fury succeeded as director, he restarted the project, but the research direction changed to dark matter, and it was almost a new plan."

Stark and Grell put all the boxes on the cart, and without looking at the other shelves, they pushed it and walked in the direction of the elevator.

This made Grell particularly surprised, it was not in line with Stark's character at all, he was eager to take all the good things into his arms, and this place was simply a treasure trove, just take one out and sell it for a sky-high price in the black market.

Stark seemed to see what Greer was thinking, and said, "This is the only thing to trade. ”

"Deal? And Nick Fury? ”

"That's right, I'll help him once, and he gave me this."

“... You're so self-disciplined. Grell looked back at the warehouse full of good things, except for him and Stark, there was no third person, Stark could bear not to take more, this quality is no one.

Stark suddenly said to Greer very seriously: "What we need now is something to improve our strength, and I will only study this for the time being." ”

"So the lightspeed engine makes the Quint fly faster? Or can it fly out of the universe? ”

"On top of that, it could also start an underground factory in Puerto Rico."

"Huh?"

The elevator began to go up, Stark stared at the pile of metal boxes, and explained: "The lightspeed engine uses the energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and with a little modification, the Ark Reactor can also be replaced, and then we can make artifacts." ”

"Nidavel has a lot of equipment too, how can you get it back?" Grell thought of Nidavel of the Dwarves, where he could produce weapons and equipment for all of Asgard, and had crafted many artifacts.

"I've asked Thor, the Neutron Star Furnace is frozen, and even if it starts, there will be no dwarves forging anymore." Sterke's tone was full of regret, in his opinion, the Neutron Star Furnace was not too much of a pity, and what was really worth regretting was the death of the dwarves and even the dwarven king Tracy.

These dwarves master skilled forging technology, and the addition of racial talent, in industrial terms, skilled workers are more important than equipment, of course, this theory is applicable to the non-intelligent era, intelligent production lines, directly eliminate all assembly line workers, no matter how skilled the technology is, the cost performance is not as good as industrial robots.

The core of Nidavel's forging equipment is the neutron star furnace, which is used to melt the metal Wulu of the Divine Domain, and then it is finely forged by the dwarves, which is absolutely handmade and full of craftsmanship. There are no dwarves, no neutron star furnaces, and that pile of cold forging equipment is only memorial.

As they spoke, the elevator had reached the top end, and the two of them began to carry the metal boxes into the Kun transport plane, stacked on top of each other, filling most of the cabin, and it was possible to imagine what the light-speed engine shattered into to have so many fragments.

Grell looked back at the closed door and regained the camouflaged cold storage, and asked, "Won't the system be unlocked?" ”

Stark had divided and sealed everyone inside with automatic doors, and they didn't want to open them unless they used high-powered explosives to blow them open. However, if the explosives are used too much, they may cause damage to the mountain, and maybe the base will collapse.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. will come and take it, and I'll give it to them." Stark didn't care about the guards and agents who were locked up, and took off directly from the Kun transport plane, turned on optical stealth, and this time turned around and headed east, and the route was twisted directly.

On the other side, after six hours, the war between Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. also came to an end, winning and losing, cleaning up the mess, burying corpses, wiping wounds, cleaning up garbage...

The Trident headquarters, which was originally clean and palatial, is now riddled with bullet marks, glass shards and blood stains, and countless precious equipment and instruments have been turned into a pile of scrap metal in the shootout.

Broken wires continued to burst with electric sparks, meteorite belts were placed on both sides of the corridor, waiting to be carried away, and the dead were gone, and there was no smile on the faces of the living.

Rogers walked through the sparsely bombed corridors where the smoke had not cleared, and every step he took would step on bullets, shrapnel, or fragments of human tissue, his face gloomy, without the joy of triumphantly retaking the Trident headquarters, and the uniform he wore when he came was shiny, but now it was full of holes and smoke.

While waiting for the only elevator that was still running, Rogers suddenly spoke: "The loss is too great. ”

More than eighty percent of the personnel at the Trident headquarters were killed or wounded, so to speak, completely paralyzed, and only half of the dead and wounded were Hydra agents, the rest were S.H.I.E.L.D. employees, and there were also Hydra agents who were completely unaware of the war in advance.

Once again, Rogers saw that it was not the warring sides that suffered the most in war, but the innocent, and this was the case in World War II, and it is still the same, and it will never change because of technological progress.

Romanov, who had several OK stretches on his face, shrugged his shoulders and said, "But we won." ”

"Really?" Rogers asked rhetorically and strode into the elevator, where Romanoff followed, pressed the button, and the elevator doors closed and began to rise.

The high-speed elevator quickly reached the top floors, where all the high-level officials of S.H.I.E.L.D. walked into the office that originally belonged to Nick Fury, and later became Alexander Pearce, the snowflakes on the floor had not yet completely melted, the broken glass had not yet been installed, and even the blood stains on the floor had not had time to wipe off.

Nick Fury sat at his desk, but didn't open the workbench, just sat there, like a wanderer about to leave home, always like to sit quietly, imprinted everything in front of him in his mind, never forgotten.
