Chapitre 172: Chapter 172: The Power of the Cosmic Cube!
With the bald brother's active cooperation, the interrogation went very smoothly. Seeing the hundred-plus steel needles shaking in front of him, the bald brother spilled everything he knew, not only the Hydra personnel list but even some hidden data.
Through the personnel list and data, Hill quickly compiled a detailed list, then went on to arrest people according to the list, only taking a day to completely eliminate the Hydra agents within S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
The reason why things went so smoothly, of course, could not do without Clark's contribution.
Being familiar with the plot certainly wouldn't allow him to remember these unrelated character lists, but with the list in hand, he could act as absolute military force participating in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s operation to exterminate Hydra.
This time, Clark didn't even ask Lu Dan for any additional rewards. From the moment he teamed up with Lu Dan to trick Lama Pi to death, he and Hydra had already become irreconcilable enemies.
As such, any opportunity to strike against Hydra, even without benefits, he wouldn't mind lending a hand.
And in front of Clark's monster-level strength, those Hydra agents, at best, were just agents with slightly better physical skills among ordinary people, with no chance of resistance.
Especially when the number of prisoners reached a certain amount, Lu Dan no longer minded letting them sacrifice for Hydra. Thus, the operation became even more smooth, managing to completely clear out Hydra within the headquarters in just one day.
Through the data obtained from Hydra personnel, Lu Dan also found evidence that many government officials were actually Hydra, foreseeing a re-shuffling of the political scene was about to begin.
As for how to bring down those Hydra officials, Clark was not interested. After helping Lu Dan and Hill clear the headquarters, he took the data collected from Hydra and excitedly returned to Hank Pym's laboratory in New York.
Seeing Clark, Old Pym said with a stern face, "You're really getting more capable now, boy. If you didn't have something to ask of me, I almost never see your shadow now."
Old Pym's original purpose in finding Clark was to ask for his help in researching the quantum realm, hoping to rescue Aunt Pym from the quantum realm sooner with his help.
But now, the great Hank Pym has almost become Clark's butler!
"Hehe…" Clark explained somewhat sheepishly, "I've just been too busy lately, especially before the final battle, I must make sufficient preparations. If my preparations weren't enough, you might not be seeing me now."
"Stop trying to make me feel sorry for you, just say it, what do you want me to research for you this time?"
"You really guessed it!" Clark pulled up a chair, sat down opposite Old Pym, and took out a USB drive, saying, "This contains some data that S.H.I.E.L.D. found during the process of clearing Hydra today, one of which is about Klaw, a piece of information I've been searching for a long time without success."
"Klaw?" Old Pym frowned, "That's your deal with Wakanda, I'm not interested."
Although he knew there were no outsiders here, Clark still lowered his voice, making a mysterious gesture, "Klaw stole 500 kilograms of vibranium from Wakanda back then, and according to my investigation, the amount that appeared in the outside world is still very little, which means, more than ninety percent is still in Klaw's hands."
"T'Challa has already told me, as long as Wakanda finds Klaw, the murderer, the vibranium can be considered our spoils of war."
Hearing about vibranium, Old Pym's originally indifferent eyes suddenly burst with excitement, "I need some for research in the quantum realm."
"Hehe…" Clark quickly followed up, "Who are we if not for each other, what's mine is yours, right?"
"You're not completely heartless." Old Pym finally showed a satisfied smile, "Tell me, what do you need my help with on this matter?"
"Actually, it's not much, just that some equipment was damaged in previous actions and needs some replenishing." After a pause, he added, "Besides, I need two things, one is a box that can hold 500 kilograms of vibranium, and the other is a freezing device similar to the one used for the Winter Soldier."
Old Pym was startled, "That simple?"
"That simple."
Old Pym said briskly, "Delivery in seven days."
Actually, these two things, for Old Pym now, really aren't a big deal. The freezing device was completed by Hydra decades ago, and now this technology, if not completely public, is basically something any scientist with achievements in this area can easily come up with.
Actually, asking Old Pym to do this is a bit overkill. Believe Old Pym won't do it himself, just instruct one of the scientists in Pym Laboratories to easily handle it.
As for the large box, others really can't make it, but Old Pym has the technology ready, it won't take a day to make one.
Actually, Clark could have handled these two things himself without Old Pym's intervention. The main reason for going through these motions is to make him feel more justified when using vibranium later.
After all, compared to equipment, rescuing Aunt Pym from the quantum realm is much more important.
"Seeing how sensible you are, I'll give you a surprise." Saying that, Old Pym pressed a key on the computer, and a square box immediately rose from the platform in the center of the laboratory.
The box's frame was silver-white, about ten centimeters on each side, with transparent material making up the rest besides the frame. Through the frame, one could see a special crystal emitting a faint blue glow inside, which was the cosmic cube!
Casually holding the cosmic cube wrapped in a special material, Clark felt its boundless energy while turning to Old Pym, "You finished it so quickly?"
"It's because your request was too simple." Old Pym couldn't help but downplay, "You only requested to isolate it with other materials while retaining a way to guide its energy, strictly speaking, this kind of task should belong to the category of craftsmanship."
Ignoring Old Pym's complaint, Clark was not about to trust someone unreliable with this thing, even considering the cosmic cube's unpredictability, he didn't do it himself.
Compared to others, Old Pym's knowledge is more reassuring.
This thing is very tricky; ordinary people can't touch it at all. It seems that the Asgard's Bifrost Bridge was built using its energy.
And the Red Skull just casually grabbed it and was transported to the Soul Stone as a guide.
But on the other hand, Nick Fury, wearing a leather glove, grabbed it without any issues, later Loki, Ebony Maw, Thanos, etc., all handled it barehanded without any issues.
Some say it was swapped in the early '90s, even suggesting the Cosmic Cube and the Tesseract are two different treasures, just looking the same.
But Clark can't confirm any of this, because at that time, the Marvel Universe didn't have him.
If not considering that possibility, the only reasonable explanation is that ordinary humans can't touch it carelessly, touching it means death, but you can hold it with gloves. People who have once exceeded human limits, touching it barehanded might lead to unpredictable factors, like the Red Skull.
But those a level stronger, like Loki, Ebony Maw, and Clark, should be able to handle it casually.
However, this is just his guess, without full certainty, he wouldn't casually gamble with his life.
Trying to call upon the energy of imitation, Clark didn't use the Sling Ring this time but directly drew a portal in the void, the other side of the portal being the center of the Sahara Desert, where he and Tony had fought before.
A hot wind blew through, bringing a large amount of sand into the laboratory hall, immediately drawing a series of curses from Old Pym.
Clark quickly closed the portal and then sheepishly said, "I was just testing the power of this thing, didn't expect it to turn out like this."
Sure enough, using the cosmic cube to perform space magic can completely ignore distance restrictions, basically allowing for any travel in the universe.
And any teleportation method using it will see a significant increase in power.
In Thor's hands, it produces the effect of the Bifrost Bridge; in Thanos's hands, it's a direct portal to various places in the universe; Clark's portal is the same.
But now, he can't perform interstellar teleportation, the reason being he has never seen what places outside Earth look like.
With a thought, Clark suddenly became curious, wanting to see what his hometown looks like in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Thus, he envisioned the scene of his hometown before crossing, trying to open a portal directly to the mysterious Eastern country that cannot be described.
Then, as the cosmic cube vibrated violently, the teleportation failed! Even Clark was shocked by this failure.
Because from the cosmic cube in his hand, he faintly felt a trace of fear, as if it was saying, if you dare to teleport to that place again, I'll immediately shatter into 404 pieces for you to see!
Is there really a place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that even the Space Stone cannot reach?
"Had enough fun?"
Seeing Clark playing happily by himself, Old Pym couldn't help but frown and say, "If you've had your fun, then hurry up and leave, don't disturb my work."
"There's actually one more thing I'd like to discuss with you."
Then, Clark recounted the incident of his computer being hacked to Old Pym. At that moment, the communicator on his body suddenly emitted Qingfeng's voice.
"Sir, a woman has intruded into your residence, I failed to stop her, but she didn't cause any destruction, instead, she wants to talk to you."
"Sir, a woman has intruded into your residence, I failed to stop her, but she didn't cause any destruction, instead, she wants to talk to you."
Clark was stunned, then frowned and said, "I got it, you don't need to say the same thing twice."
"No, sir." Qingfeng replied somewhat aggrievedly, "I'm talking about two women, who intruded into your villa one after another."
Two women, and you didn't stop either? "What do I need you for?"
