Chapter 327: Brother, they said you were dead!
Inside the brightly lit hall of the base.
On a flat wall facing the metal round table.
Iron Man David has hung screens on it to display various data.
"My Lord, the gossip about the destruction of the Terran Star Army first spread on the forum section of the World Dark Web. After some investigation, I found that the account of the person who spread the news was one of the fake identity accounts used by the SHIELD Cyber Department for phishing for many years."
Iron Man David, with blue light flashing in his eyes, shook his metal head slightly.
It raised a metal arm and pointed casually.
The original version of each message appeared on the flashing screen.
At this moment, Rorschach, wearing power armor, narrowed his eyes.
He stared at the screen, silent.
"However, Mr. Rogers' cooperation does not seem to have dispelled the suspicion within SHIELD. Several investigation teams have been searching the mostly destroyed underground base repeatedly, trying to find relevant evidence... Moreover, Hydra people have been deliberately mixed into the investigation team. It seems that someone wants to use Hydra's intelligence channels to confirm some things."
"Of course, the vast majority of SHIELD agents still believe in Mr. Rogers, and Mr. Rogers has already begun to form his own combat team, the Howling Commandos."
"He seems to be planning to use SHIELD's funds to bypass SHIELD's personnel supervision and find his old friends who fought side by side with him."
Iron Man David had just finished speaking.
The silent Rorschach took a deep breath and said slowly:
"To be honest, I didn't expect that a simple escape plan could easily fool a group of calculating old spies. It's just a superficial balance between the two sides. It doesn't matter whether they believe it or not. However, the name of Terra Star Corps is scrapped, and we can also change it, such as the Justice League, or the Syndicate..."
"As for Rogers, I think he wants to overthrow S.H.I.E.L.D. even more than we do. David, you can provide him with some help when necessary."
"Whether it's SHIELD or HYDRA, we won't be concerned about America's affairs for the time being. The landmines we planted for them will take time to brew before they explode... Now we also need to bide our time for a while."
"Understood, my Lord. I will continue to pay attention to the necessary information."
Iron Man David shook his metal head slightly and spoke in the direction of Rorschach.
At this moment, Rorschach, who had been thinking for a while, spoke again:
"David, remember to pay attention to the situation of Leviathan and try to find out their sphere of influence. Although the entire base is kept under a low profile, necessary actions must be carried out occasionally... This time, we will use the name of the Justice League."
"Yes, my Lord."
Iron Man David bowed and said without hesitation.
——Under
the gloomy sky.
The ground of Second Son Island, where the ice and snow have melted, is now covered with palm-sized ferns.
The heat emitted by several large furnaces that have been started up long ago is enough to make this place like spring all year round.
At this moment, there was a slight sound of stepping on the soil.
Rorschach, wearing power armor, appeared at the entrance of the foundry.
He first looked around and saw the giant pipes disguised as rocks not far away.
These giant pipes, which are more than one person tall, extend to the distant coast and into the cold sea water.
Then, Rorschach with a calm expression went straight into the foundry.
After he walked to the end of the wide spiral passage.
Just after turning the corner, a large square with bright lights appeared in Rorschach's field of vision.
At this moment, in the empty square.
In addition to the automatic servo robots that carry materials back and forth.
The Thunderhawk transport aircraft is being gradually dismantled.
The Rhino troop carrier also became the most eye-catching thing.
"Number 5087! I told you to remove the screws on the engine, why did you pull out the energy transmission pipeline? Come on! Take it out!"
Before Rorschach could get nearby.
He could hear the loud voice of Raditus amusing himself.
Perhaps the pace of the power armor was too obvious.
The servo head that was driving the anti-gravity engine and floating in the air shouted without turning back:
"Damn Jessica! What are you doing here again? I don't have time to continue to tangle with you. There is no room for modification in your power armor, unless you let your pet mine for me..."
"Uh... Respected Primarch, good morning!"
Rorschach, with a calm expression, couldn't help but shook his head and said:
"Reditus, it's afternoon now. What's going on? Is Jessica messing with you again?"
Hearing Rorschach's question.
Raditus, floating in mid-air, seemed to have found a savior.
It quickly drove its anti-gravity engine and flew closer, complaining with red light flashing in its eyes:
"Respected Primarch, I beg you, please let Jessica go back to the Firstborn Island! She is like a curious baby, asking me all kinds of questions every day. If she can understand the knowledge, I would be happy to explain it to her... But can you understand the pain of a human trying to teach a monkey countless languages? Jessica can't even understand basic human language!"
Reditus was still talking.
Rorschach, with his eyes narrowed, couldn't help but smile.
He said calmly:
"Don't let her hear these words, otherwise you can experience the consequences yourself...Have you read the plan David sent you?"
"Ah, is that what you're here for? Your needs are quite simple. If you don't care too much about the missing systems in the so-called auxiliary power armor, you don't even need to open a separate production line, because the modular idea is indeed worth a try."
"However, Master Primarch, what limits us now is not ideas and inspiration, but raw materials..."
As Raditus gradually got into the state, he seemed to have forgotten the terrifying Jessica.
With red light flashing in its eyes, it said to Rorschach:
"After leaving the original underground base, we need to independently supply any raw materials. Although David has also started to use the large cargo ships of Empire Heavy Industries to transport more materials, it is impossible to form a large-scale transportation route for the sake of concealment."
"The average depth of the seabed minerals near the Twin Islands is about 300 to 400 meters. Adding the depth required for mining, the total depth is estimated to be close to 500 meters, with a pressure of about 50 atmospheres. This will undoubtedly greatly increase the wear and tear of the automatic servo robot and the digging time."
"So, Raditus, what's your solution?"
Rorschach opened his eyes slightly and stared at the servo skull in front of him and asked softly.
"Haha, Master Primarch, even though I am very annoyed with Jessica, I have to admit that the pet under her is indeed extraordinary. The inexplicable elemental power can easily find more minerals. The underwater miner-type automatic servo robot only needs to pick them up. What I need now is your permission."
"Of course, we now have other alternatives. The metal hulls of space wrecks and the living metals of those Necrons that have been re-melted and activated can also be used as materials for casting auxiliary power armor, but it seems a bit wasteful."
Raditus said without hesitation, with red light flashing in his eyes.
