Chapter 147 - Convergence, Consensus, and Loss of Connection

"Wow, look who this is? You finally decided to come out of that laboratory of yours to get some fresh air?" Just as he walked down from the cabin into the wind, a flamboyant man wearing sunglasses on the deck of the helicarrier approached him. He swung his arm and threw the man directly onto Luke's shoulder, holding him tightly in his arms and jokingly said.

"No, I was awakened in the bedroom of the villa." Luke corrected Stark.

"Your life is too boring, really. I suggest you develop some hobbies other than research. Life is so short. If you don't indulge yourself, you will regret it when you look back on it when you are old." Tony patted his shoulder hard and said with a smile in his ear.

"Where's your suit? The one you never take off? Where's it been?" Luke had become incredibly resistant to Tony's attempts to entice him into joining him for fun. He only dared to be so impulsive when Pepper and Ina weren't around. But to avoid Tony's continued brainwashing, he thoughtfully changed the subject.

"No, no, no, do you remember the symbiote you gave me? He recently gave birth to two more babies, both of them are good kids! For this reason, my symbiote suit has been updated to the second generation. I think that perhaps only nanotechnology can compete with symbiote materials. Look at the portability." Not surprisingly, Tony was piqued by Luke's interest, and he started to show him his new toys with great interest.

The suit on his body transformed with his movements and words. Under Luke's gaze, it transformed from a piece of clothing into a black steel battle suit from bottom to top. The black and cold helmet was lifted, revealing Tony's slightly reserved face.

"How's it going?" Tony asked.

"Great." Luke gave his evaluation very seriously.

"I thought you could boast longer."

"Brevity is power. Hello, Dr. Banner." Luke ignored Stark who was about to say something and looked at Bruce Banner who was approaching them, fiddling with a pen in his hand, as if hesitating whether he should interrupt the conversation.

"Hello." Dr. Banner didn't seem to expect Luke to recognize him and greet him first, so he seemed a little at a loss. After returning a greeting dryly, he stood there as if he had forgotten what he wanted to say.

"Is the ring useful?" Luke glanced down and his eyes fell on a familiar ring on the other person's right finger. He guessed the other person's purpose.

"Great." Banner responded to Luke with Luke's perfunctory words to Stark, as if he took Luke's words "short and powerful" seriously. Seeing that Luke did not show some sharp aggression like Stark, Banner relaxed a lot for a while. "This is really a great invention. You know, I have traveled thousands of miles and traveled to various countries. I just want to find some way to calm down, but it is difficult. How did you invent this technology? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your technology. I'm just curious and grateful."

Bruce's words became a little disorganized at the end, and he seemed a little embarrassed, obviously because he was a little too excited.

"It's okay. If I were to talk about this, I'm afraid it would take too long to finish. I can only say that before the emergence of this technology, it was based on some previous research results. If you are willing, you can come to Haibolun when you have time, and we can talk slowly in my laboratory." Luke said.

"That's great." Dr. Banner looked surprised at Luke's kindness.

"It's time to go in," Agent Natasha, dressed in a tight black combat suit, walked over and said to the group. Meanwhile, someone on the deck was securing a fighter plane. The deck beneath their feet began to shake slightly, and the roar of an engine filled their ears.

Captain's room.

Nick Fury, wearing a black eyepatch, looked sternly at the scattered group before him. Stark, in particular, felt somewhat helpless as he was stirring the emotions of Banner, the Captain, and the others like a piercing blow.

"Everyone!" Nick shouted, "I asked you to come here to help solve the problem, not to have you mock each other and get angry and quarrel."

"Problem, what's the problem?" Thor, dressed in his Asgardian uniform and holding his beloved Mjolnir, interrupted. "Find Loki and tell me his address. I'll teach him a lesson."

"A lunatic who wants to invade the world?" Tony whistled.

"Show some respect, he's my brother, the son of Odin, the God King of Asgard." Thor raised his hammer and glared at him with dissatisfaction.

"He directly or indirectly killed at least hundreds of people and destroyed an underground research base of S.H.I.E.L.D." Nick added quietly.

"Actually, he is adopted, not an Asgardian." Thor took back the hammer with an embarrassed look on his face. But he had heard the news that Asgard and the mages in the atrium were negotiating a close and important cooperation, and SHIELD was one of the collaborators. When the victims began to complain in person, Thor had changed a lot compared to the past. Under the words and deeds of his girlfriend, Thor had also learned to use his brain instead of muscles to think about problems. Of course, Thor could only throw his beloved brother out to bear the anger. He deserves to be scolded anyway.

"Doctor, you are an expert in the field of gamma rays. We need your professional knowledge to help us find the whereabouts of the Rubik's Cube." Nick ignored Thor who shrank back and focused on Dr. Banner who was walking with Luke. He stepped forward and briefly explained the current situation to Banner. Of course, Agent Natasha had already told him a lot of information on the way here, so Dr. Banner knew exactly why Nick came to him.

"What you mean is that the Rubik's Cube is constantly emitting gamma rays, and you want me to help you find it based on this, right?" Banner summarized what Nick meant.

"Yes." Nick nodded.

"I want to confirm again, it is my knowledge that is needed, not the monster in my body?" Banner asked for confirmation.

"Yes, in fact, we are not short of combat power now. If it is not necessary, you don't have to go to the battlefield and stay here until the end. As long as you can help find the whereabouts of the Rubik's Cube." Nick answered with the same seriousness.

"Sir, we have lost contact with our base in XX."

Just when Nick and Banner were about to reach a consensus, an intelligence officer's shout made Nick's face, which was trying to force a smile, suddenly freeze.
