Daisy found the slight increase in her mental power to be of little use. The total amount was too small. Previously, she could control her Rhino in three days, but now it took her one day, which was just a slight difference.
According to the game's description, she now had a blue bar but no skills.
Professor Charles only recorded some insights and experiences on the computer. As for how to use psychic powers, he wouldn't write it out like a manual with text and pictures, gradually explaining it in tens of thousands of words.
When sealing Dark Jean, Jean shared some of the usage methods of the psychic cage. The problem was, who was going to be trapped in Daisy's cage now? She hadn't used it at all.
Even though she hadn't used it, Daisy still felt genuine joy when she saw a certain ability slowly increasing. For several days in a row, she picked up and dropped off Lorna at school for several days.
One day a week later, Daisy saw Coulson in the school's underground parking lot. The good old man was wearing plain work clothes and holding pliers, struggling with a motorcycle.
"Hey, Coulson, I thought you liked vintage cars? Why are you playing with a motorcycle now?" Daisy was simply idle and casually struck up a conversation when she saw a familiar face.
Coulson didn't mind. He wiped his sweat with the towel around his neck, looked around to make sure no one could overhear their conversation, and then lowered his voice, saying, "Sharon said Captain America has already recovered from danger and will wake up in a few months. I remember he liked motorcycles, so I specially bought one online for him. This bike has excellent performance, and Captain will definitely love it."
Daisy nodded and sighed. She didn't have any particular fondness for motorcycles or cars, but many mechanical principles were similar, and she could tell that the motorcycle's components were not cheap.
Thinking about Coulson, who didn't have the mental acuity of a S.H.I.E.L.D. director and lived solely on his meager salary, buying such a luxurious motorcycle might make him too poor to afford food. Afraid that he might ask her for money, Daisy waved and stepped on the gas, quickly leaving the school.
Meanwhile, Cyclops and Jean had already entered the low-carbon lifestyle stage ahead of time. Of course, it could also be said that the entire Xavier's School was being forcefully ushered into the low-carbon lifestyle era by Jean.
The Grey Directive No.1 was not the end but the beginning. Now it had developed to the point of the Grey Directive No. 5. Five notice boards were nailed to the wall of the cafeteria, which was very eye-catching...
A group of little rascals now avoided Jean whenever they saw her, but it had to be said that the school's financial situation had greatly improved. The economic team responsible for managing the Xavier family's assets expressed support for all of Jean Grey's actions. Both sides reached a consensus to maintain the existing system effectively in the long term!
...
Daisy's energy was entirely focused on the construction of the reactor. She was quite dedicated, spending every day in the underground factory, solving technical problems and supervising construction.
With a large number of skilled workers participating, the construction speed of the reactor increased day by day.
"Miss Johnson is really dedicated." Director Pierce, who had always had a good reputation within the agency, personally came to inspect the work. Daisy immediately put down the drawings in her hand to chat with the former director.
With the capture mission of Victoria Hand's Hulk, Daisy's trip to Afghanistan, and Coulson's mission to contact Stark, which caused three major casualties in a row, there was a lot of criticism of S.H.I.E.L.D. from the outside world.
Faced with the stern questioning from the Pentagon and the White House and Congress's interrogation, Fury had been pretending to be dead. Each time, it was Pierce who came forward to explain, putting it nicely as explanations but harshly as facing criticism.
Such a scapegoat hero was indispensable in the current stage of S.H.I.E.L.D. The old man sacrificed his own reputation, enduring the scolding of a group of politicians and generals who were ten or twenty years younger, in exchange for high prestige within S.H.I.E.L.D.
As long as he didn't act recklessly, no one would think he was a spy. Daisy had to maintain a respectful attitude towards him, at least in appearance.
"You're too polite. We have many elite soldiers in our agency. The construction speed of this reactor is even faster than I expected." She wasn't sure about the old man's intentions and could only reply with a standard answer.
The old man chuckled. "I just happened to pass by and came to take a look. Nick has high hopes for you, and I believe his judgment is not wrong."
Daisy didn't believe a word of the old man's words. Nick Fury's insight was far superior to that of ordinary people, but it wasn't accurate.
With such a large group of Hydra members around him, he had an inescapable responsibility.
Daisy remained calm, neither acknowledging nor denying Pierce's praise.
The old man indeed had something more to say. He quickly organized his words and appeared casual as he asked, "Can this nuclear reactor really lift an aircraft carrier into the sky?"
"Of course, one alone won't do. My plan is to install one at the front and one at the back. Then, with the help of turbo engines, we can lift the aircraft carrier into the sky." She talked nonsense with the old man for a while about the technology before finally sending him away.
As Nick Fury's most trusted old friend, Pierce had access to all the technical data within S.H.I.E.L.D., and naturally, he could see the blueprints for the arc reactor construction provided by Daisy.
However, science and technology did not tolerate any mistakes. Following the blueprints blindly, their Hydra could only build super-sized reactors but couldn't shrink them because they lacked the intermediate deduction process.
In the evening, inside a secret villa in Washington, Director Pierce was consulting with his own people.
The attendees included Crossbones, Sitwell, and several high-ranking government officials, all of whom were members of Hydra.
One of the focuses of their discussion was Stark, and the other being Daisy.
Pierce directly pulled up the blueprint for Daisy's large reactor and picked out what seemed to be the most important one to hang on the wall. There were too many blueprints, and the stack was thick. No one present could understand them, so hanging them up was just to highlight the atmosphere.
Pointing at the blueprint, Pierce opened his mouth first. "Senator Stern, this is the blueprint I was able to access. Nick Fury didn't find anything unusual."
"Director Pierce, is this the nuclear reactor?" Senator Stern, who had a high reputation, was fat with a corrupt belly. He didn't belong to Pierce's faction. He could be said to be independent, more often using Hydra's resources to climb up. He was a typical politician.
What S.H.I.E.L.D., Iron Man, had nothing to do with him. He didn't want to be involved.
But now that several factions of Hydra were pressuring him at the same time, hoping to get their hands on Iron Man's armor, having the blueprints made things even better. For this matter, he actively mobilized his contacts and set up a special inquiry committee specifically for Stark to dig out the technology of the Iron Man armor.
Now that he had the blueprint of the reactor, in his view, half of his mission was completed in an instant.
