Trident Wing Building.
Nick Fury was flipping through photos in his hands, examining each one intently. The photos were of giant robots, each one a picture, each one a picture of a robot. The angles and clarity of the pictures made them look like candid shots.
"Director." A slightly bald man with a harmless face knocked on the door and walked in, diverting Nick Fury's attention from the photo to himself.
"Agent Coulson, take a look." Nick Fury dropped the photos on his desk, spreading them out like a deck of cards, leaving a long trail. Phil Coulson stepped forward, gathered the scattered photos together, and began flipping through them one by one.
"What is this?" Phil Coulson raised his eyebrows when he saw the half-finished robot in the photo. This kind of thing didn't seem like something an ordinary organization could build. Could it be some big project?
"Hyperion Industrial Technology. These photos come from Hyperion Industrial Technology." Nick Fury knocked on the table and told the source of the photos: "Our people spent a lot of effort to get these photos out, and they were discovered!" Later, Nick Fury's tone was full of strong dissatisfaction. He felt that the newcomers under him were becoming more and more slack, and even their professional quality was a bit lower than that of previous years.
"Hypern Industrial Technology? The genius like Stark?" Phil was surprised.
"It's him." Nick Fury rubbed his forehead.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Phil Coulson asked tentatively. The Director couldn't just ask him to come over and look at these photos, could he? Even though this half-finished robot looked pretty cool to him.
"Keep watching." Nick Fury knocked on the desktop, swapped out a virtual desktop, opened one of the folders, played a video inside, and after passing the security verification, motioned Phil Coulson to continue watching.
The video is very short and looks like it was taken in the desert. Because it was shot from a satellite, the picture is not absolutely clear, but it can still be seen that a metal iron man rushed out of a cave, detonated the ammunition depot next to it with flames, and then flew directly into the sky.
Phil Coulson finished reading and turned his gaze to his own director.
"Tony Stark," Nick Fury said. "This is the conclusion drawn after integrating all subsequent information. This Iron Man is Tony Stark."
"So, do you think the kidnappers of Tony Stark are connected to the people at Hyperion Industries?" Phil's thoughts wandered for a moment. In other words, could Hyperion Industries' robotics technology have come from Tony Stark? But Hyperion's founder, Luke Field, had already assembled a truly exceptional robotic dog five years earlier. He had the necessary technical expertise.
Nick glanced strangely at his subordinate who had lost his mind and rudely interrupted his thoughts: "There is no hostility between them!"
"So what are you doing?" Agent Phil spread his hands helplessly.
"Keep a close eye on Tony Stark. I suspect his kidnapping is connected to someone on the inside. Got it?" Nick ordered. After all, Tony's father was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he himself was a top-tier genius who inherited his father's intelligence. He was definitely worth Nick's attention, especially since he was currently focused on promoting a certain plan and selecting personnel for it.
"What about Heberon Industrial Technology?" Phil looked down at the huge robot in the photo. Although the shooting angle was not good, it was indeed shocking.
"Equal attention." Nick hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind. Although he still leaned towards Tony Stark, it wouldn't be bad to have a backup. Besides, if Luke truly showed talent comparable to Tony Stark's, then it wouldn't be a bad idea to win them over and bring them both into the organization he envisioned.
…
Haibolun Industrial Park.
Luke's private laboratory.
The White Queen's magnetic voice reminded Luke, who was taking a break from his busy schedule and teasing Rude.
"Master, Miss Ina will soon arrive at the laboratory."
"What happened again?" Luke patted Rude's big head, signaling it to lie down, then stood up and waited helplessly for Ina to arrive.
"This is ridiculous!" The moment the metal door opened under Bai Hou's control, Ina rushed in with a gust of wind. She waved her arms vigorously, her face a little angry. "The company's security and surveillance systems need to be upgraded again! Enough is enough! Corporate espionage is fine, but why are those secret intelligence agencies also joining in the fun?"
"No need to be angry." Luke said calmly, "The excitement inside Stark is much greater than ours. They don't have access to any truly confidential information."
"But photos have leaked! Photos of that giant robot in your lab have leaked! This proves there are gaps in our testing system and confidentiality procedures," Ina said. In her heart, the products in Luke's lab that haven't been exposed are his hard work! They are the company's treasures! Anyone who dares to leak their information is an enemy of him and Heberon! They deserve to go to jail!
"I know." Luke felt a headache. He realized that he seemed to have forgotten one thing: he forgot to tell Ina about his thoughts in advance. It was not his fault. Ina had been busy these days and had hardly been seen. He did not want to communicate with her through text messaging, which was a less confidential method.
"You know?" Ina was suddenly stunned. She narrowed her eyes and stared at Luke with some suspicion.
"In fact, those photos were leaked with my permission. Otherwise, when he took the photos, Queen Bai would have notified the security and arrested him," Luke said.
Upon hearing this, Ina didn't feel deceived or angry like a normal person would. Instead, out of trust in Luke, she immediately calmed down and began to think. She crossed her arms and looked at Luke, "Is this information you want to reveal to the outside world? Or is this a preview of the new product you're planning to unveil? Accidentally revealing the technology and then showing it off is a good way to promote it, but aren't you planning to release this technology right away? I remember that the technology you're going to conquer and expose next is related to information and energy?"
"It's not that complicated. That person is a member of an organization called S.H.I.E.L.D. The so-called intelligence organization you know should be real, but it's probably just a cover. This organization is omnipresent, and it's normal for a group of our size to be watched and investigated. Maybe this is a task for them to test the quality of their members." Luke shrugged.
