Somewhere,
Morrison Craid's death caused many people to look grim.
"That bastard actually killed Morrison Craid."
"It might not be him, even if he had malicious intent, it couldn't have happened that quickly."
"If not him, then who else could it be?"
A group of people started arguing.
HYDRA has never been just one person.
It's a group of people.
After arguing for a while.
From the main seat, a faint voice came.
"Morrison Craid's death is not important.
The problem now is, how should we deal with Nolan Locke?"
Killing him is not an option.
What they value is Nolan Locke's ability.
If Nolan Locke is killed.
Then all of this will be meaningless to them.
Finally, the man shook his head.
"Continue to send people to contact him, but do it discreetly.
We need time to change him.
One day, Nolan Locke will join the embrace of our HYDRA."
"Hail HYDRA!"
...
On the other side.
After returning home.
As expected, Nolan saw Jessica Jones with red-rimmed eyes.
"It looks like you're very worried about me."
Jessica Jones immediately pouted and said:
"I'm just worried that you killed someone because of me.
So many people saw you kill, it's going to be a lot of trouble."
A hint of disappointment appeared on Nolan's face at the right moment.
Noticing this scene.
Jessica Jones's face showed a bit of heartache again.
"Alright, I admit, I was indeed worried about you, after all, you are my knight."
Nolan chuckled.
"Then... your knight is coming."
The night passed without a word.
Morrison Craid was clearly just a small fry.
With a small fry dead, there's no way HYDRA would go crazy.
On Tony Stark's side, however, the latest investigation results were quickly obtained.
As expected, the investigation eventually led to S.H.I.E.L.D..
But after reaching this point, the investigation couldn't proceed further.
Even though Tony Stark had strong connections.
But when it involved an organization like S.H.I.E.L.D., there was almost nothing he could do.
Moreover,
he was actually facing a lot of pressure.
Unlike Nolan.
Nolan is an arms dealer.
No matter what good things he researches.
the Military always believes,
that Locke Technology's products will eventually end up with the Military.
But Tony Stark high-profilely announced that he would not hand over the suit.
He even claimed that his suit was at least ten years ahead of the entire World!
In this situation.
Along with his greatly increased personal reputation, pressure also followed.
The government even held a hearing for him because of this.
However, the so-called hearing.
held no meaning for Tony Stark.
His technology, and even his name.
were the reasons why no one could touch him.
However, considering avoiding provoking the government, Tony Stark still made some compromises.
He built a suit for his friend James Rhodes - War Machine.
Even Tony Stark found it difficult to get specific information about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s strength.
Facing this situation.
Even Tony Stark was helpless.
Nolan was prepared for this.
HYDRA's reach is too deep.
However, he had long suspected it in his heart.
HYDRA has developed to the point where it has many branches.
Each branch has its own ideology, different ways of doing things, and even goals.
As for the HYDRA in the political arena.
They are basically under Pierce's control.
After all, Pierce is the former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D..
His influence is considerable.
Although there are still different factions such as Viper.
But since it involves S.H.I.E.L.D., the branch of HYDRA that came looking for trouble.
is most likely related to Pierce.
Hey, Snake Second Generation.
That's a truly interesting title.
Returning to the Hive Base.
Nolan walked to the lowest level of the Base.
Here,
is where the Hive was first built, but has never been revealed to the outside World.
Because what's kept here are some special equipment that he can't exchange for technology.
He can only exchange for physical special equipment.
It is also his real trump card.
"Red Queen, open the door."
"Please enter iris command..."
"Please enter fingerprint information..."
"Please enter secondary password..."
"Please confirm primary password..."
"The hatch has been opened, Mr., please enter..."
After a series of complex procedures.
The heavy door, capable of withstanding a nuclear explosion, opened.
Nolan walked in.
Unlike the outside.
Here, it was like another World.
Large numbers of engineering robots were operating autonomously, carrying out various constructions.
Everything was controlled by Red Queen.
The entire Hive is divided into three layers.
The first layer is the ground-level office area, and the second layer is the main body of the Hive.
And the third layer is here.
Inner Hive!
The true core area of the entire Hive.
During this time, he earned a lot of money by selling Military goods.
Less than half of this money flowed into the company's accounts.
And the remaining half was all invested here.
New technology, new foundation.
This is the domain of machinery!
Standing in the center, Nolan said:
"Red Queen, how is our T-1000?"
The next second.
Red Queen's virtual projection appeared.
"The technology has been analyzed and the final tests are underway.
In addition, the plasma weapon has been completed.
Various technologies such as three-dimensional parachutes and AI rapid response devices are being integrated."
"Well done."
Nolan smiled.
"However, compared to these.
What I want to know more now is, how is our big guy doing?"
Red Queen's voice sounded again.
"The main body has been completed, and various branch researches are underway. Due to the use of a large number of substitute technologies, performance is expected to decrease by 30%."
"A 30% decrease is acceptable."
Nolan walked forward while speaking.
There.
was a behemoth twenty to thirty meters tall.
The body looked rugged, equipped with various weapons.
Although limited by funding issues and unable to purchase finished products.
Even just such a semi-finished product, coupled with his existing technical modifications, would be enough to turn this big guy into a true killing machine!
This is his true trump card!
Taking one last look.
Nolan then spoke:
"Let's open our life-oriented intelligent mechanical area.
Locke Technology needs to do something."
"Okay, Mr..
Currently, there are 32 types of life-intelligent products stored.
Please select the product release content."
Nolan glanced at it, and then the corner of his mouth curved up.
"First, let's release our Baymax, along with a few secondary intelligent products."
Baymax, a guy who looks chubby.
He contains a large amount of life knowledge, including medical knowledge, and is a life-assistance robot.
Although he has no combat ability.
However, life is never just about combat.
He believes that the future Baymax will definitely be very popular!
