Chapter 268 - Chapter 268: The Hard-to-Open Vibranium Container

Events unfolded exactly as Belle had predicted . Excited , Tony Stark returned to his lab with the Tesseract and ordered Jarvis to remove all research materials . Here's what Howard Stark left behind regarding the Tesseract .

Then, Tony Stark , with a look of excitement on his face, rubbed his hands together as he looked at the container holding the Tesseract , and told Jarvis to scan the container's material composition.

"Sir, according to the scan, this container is made of Vibranium . It should be impossible to force it open..." Jarvis interrupted , but his reply froze Tony Stark's expression.

"Damn it, is Nick Fury really that rich? Did he use some kind of material like Vibranium to make a case for the Tesseract ?" Tony Stark muttered helplessly, his lips twitching. For the first time, he felt someone else's wealth was causing him problems.

" Jarvis , if it's impossible to open it by force, what method can we use to open it?" Tony Stark asked , returning to reality and looking at the pot on the table.

"Sir, I think you might need to have your eyes checked. There's quite a large keyhole on the vibranium . Didn't you see it, sir?" Jarvis was silent for a moment, then spoke in a somewhat strange tone. "Or have you forgotten how to use your brain after spending so much time with Mr. Huang Wen and the others?"

" Jarvis , I retract my earlier praise for you having feelings!" Tony Stark grumbled angrily at Jarvis . "Since we need a key, it should be easy to open, right? We just need to copy a key..."

"That's why I said your brain was regressing, sir..." Jarvis sighed softly. "If copying a key could easily open it, why would Nick Fury go to such great lengths to create a container made of Vibranium ?"

"So, there's a unique key that vibrates at a specific frequency to unlock this Vibranium ?" Tony Stark paused for a moment before speaking. "If so, copying the key isn't the problem; the problem is the specific frequency . Jarvis , how long will it take you to find that unique frequency ?"

"Calculating..." Jarvis's mechanical voice was heard, indicating that he was now fully focused on the calculation. After a while, Jarvis finally got an answer. "If I calculate the frequency alone, I think it will take at least two months to complete..."

"Are you kidding me, Jarvis ? Huang Wen will be awake in two months!" Tony Stark asked angrily, rolling his eyes. "If it took you two months, how long did it take Nick Fury to create this Vibranium container ?"

"Sir, SHIELD isn't lacking in talent. Moreover, different areas require different expertise. Is it possible that Nick Fury hired specifically skilled individuals for this particular mission ?" Jarvis's voice regained its emotional tone, speaking with a hint of desperation.

"Is there a way to speed up this process?" Tony Stark asked , frowning.

" Ask Miss Stupid Girl for help ..." After a moment's thought, Jarvis said, " If Miss Stupid Girl helps, based on her calculation abilities, we can open this Vibranium container in half a month !"

"Are you kidding? Huang Wen is still unconscious, so Miss Idiot might not be able to help us, but even if she could, we can't go to her!" Tony Stark immediately rejected Jarvis's suggestion . After all, Tony Stark couldn't bear such humiliation. How embarrassing would it be if Huang Wen found out ?

First, before Huang Wen woke up, she had tricked Belle into examining the Tesseract . Then, realizing she couldn't open it, she went to Miss Silly Girl for help . When Huang Wen woke up, wouldn't you know it, Huang Wen would have killed her with laughter !

Therefore, Tony Stark's stance was firm. Looking directly at the Vibranium container in front of him , he said, "Then, I will do the math with you. I refuse to believe that we cannot open it before Huang Wen wakes up !"

And so Tony Stark , forgetting to eat and sleep, began tirelessly calculating the frequency needed to open the Vibranium container .

Meanwhile, at the Wing Chun Martial Arts School , Belle remained by Huang Wen's side . The others at the school were also on high alert, not wanting Huang Wen to be disturbed during this critical time .

"Since we don't have much to do at the moment, may I ask Miss Belle a favor?" After a long hesitation, Steve Rogers finally approached Belle and asked.

"Hmm? What is this?" Belle looked at Steve Rogers with a hint of surprise .

"Could you perhaps... ask Miss Confused Girl to help me find out where Peggy Carter is and how she's doing?" Steve Rogers took a deep breath, a pleading expression on his face. "I've been searching for her myself for a long time, but I haven't been able to find any information about her whereabouts. It might be because the security clearance is too high. That's why I wanted to ask Miss Confused Girl to help me ..."

"Oh, no problem at all!" Belle's eyes gleamed slightly. She gave Steve Rogers a somewhat sentimental look , then nodded and instructed, " Investigate the whereabouts of Peggy Carter, who is connected to Steve Rogers ..."

" Data regarding Peggy Carter is being queried ..." the silly girl replied quickly , followed by a long silence; so long that Steve Rogers felt an unusual tension and anxiety in his heart.

" Peggy Carter , a Level 10 Agent and one of the founders of SHIELD , is currently 86 years old and lives in an apartment in Paris, France . Her health is poor; she frequently goes to the hospital for treatment..." After a long time, the silly girl finally gave Peggy Carter's updated information , which froze Steve Rogers . Especially when Steve Rogers heard the phrase "86 years old," he suddenly became melancholic; everything had changed, but he remained the same.

"It's alright. At least he's still alive. You can still see him, right?" Logan's expression also showed traces of emotion, but he quickly composed himself , having lived through more than Steve Rogers , especially having regained nearly two centuries' worth of memories. He stepped forward and offered a comforting tap on Steve Rogers' shoulder.

"I want to see her. I want to know how she is..." Steve Rogers suddenly snapped back to reality and took a deep breath. He didn't want to delay any longer. According to the silly girl's information, Peggy Carter wasn't doing well. If he delayed any longer, he might only see Peggy Carter lying in a hospital bed .

Therefore , Steve Rogers wanted to go see Peggy Carter immediately to find out how she had spent all those years ...
