Natasha was just complaining casually after all.
Even if the boss really returns her 10,000 points and asks her not to practice Qigong, she will not agree.
Complete a mission and earn a Qi Refining Technique? Thinking this way, she didn't lose anything, and even made a lot of money.
But sometimes being too smart is not a good thing.
The female agent, who saw through other people's tricks but had to jump anyway, felt a little depressed in her chest. She could only comfort herself: maybe after a thorough inventory, she could even be given some points as compensation!
Her requirements are not high, so they can at least offset the 10,000 yuan expenditure... right
Unconsciously, Natasha began to miss Batman.
That straight man went too far, but he should just speak up when there is something to say and be fair. At least he shouldn’t use tricks to cheat people!
At the same time, Luke, who was checking the assets of the base, looked away from the light screen with surprise and paid attention to the system panel.
System: Natasha Romanov has been promoted to a one-star teammate.
Going from light green friendly to light green teammate is a big improvement.
Could it be... She is grateful for the large amount of points I gave her? I didn't expect that you are such a black widow! He muttered in his heart, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
As a professional, Natasha has a high attendance rate among the Avengers and is ruthless.
In recent years, the people she has killed were either agents with many murders on their hands or big bosses who did evil.
In the future, the points Luke shares from her should be higher than those of Mindy, a two-star teammate (10% for one-star, 20% for two-star, and 50% for three-star).
After all, under Damon's guidance, the violent loli has been self-cultivating and studying hard in the past few years. She rarely swings a knife to kill people, and at most she just cripples them.
…
After this conversation, Natasha left on the third day.
Gathering intelligence was her instinct, and with the idea that one should not waste their rights after they expired, she took a general look at the base over the past two days.
She contributed to the establishment of this base, but Luke didn't care about her. He just used his ability to hint to her not to reveal the existence of the base in the short term.
This Arctic base is suspended and movable.
Although it moves slowly, the process is cumbersome and dangerous, and its long-term residence must be in shallow sea.
But, it is indeed removable.
Luke plans to let Phil and Tony come to see his spoils, and by the way, complete the personnel cleanup and base transformation during this period.
After that, the base will be moved to another location in the Arctic and become a top-secret base.
Compared with McAllen and "The Doctor", Luke has an unparalleled advantage, that is storage space.
Such a huge base would inevitably require a large amount of material consumption.
Iron-masked soldiers have to be sent out to fight from time to time, so this base has a hidden hole on the ice, and personnel and supplies are transported through steel cable elevator cabins.
In addition, underwater submarine entry and exit are also essential.
Recently, in order to launch nanoworm warheads, McAllen also made three long medium-range missile launch tubes.
These are obviously no longer useful.
Luke has his own unique method of transportation. He doesn't need a bunch of iron-masked soldiers to guard him, and he has no intention of launching nanoworm warheads.
Therefore, the base began to undergo major changes.
The cable lift compartment was directly cancelled and all four submarines were stored in the storage space.
The base was thus separated into inside and outside, becoming a completely enclosed island in the sea, and the personnel clearing operation officially began.
Most of the management and research personnel are single and do not need to enter or leave the base.
There is a confidential procedure for a few senior personnel to enter and exit the base, and they all enter and exit in a coma.
If the monitoring was not strict, this base would have been exposed long ago.
After the base is transformed and moved, the neutral yellow names and light red evil ones among these people will be sent back to human society.
All the famous people stayed behind to atone for their sins through mental and physical labor.
The iron-masked soldiers all have bloody hands and their brain injuries cannot be treated.
Luke plans to adjust the control program and send most of it to Phil as a laborer.
A small number stayed behind to serve as patrol and maintenance personnel at the base.
In this way, the base's personnel will be reduced to two-fifths of the original size, just over 300 people, and the demand for supplies will not be too great.
It’s not that Luke can’t afford to support more people, but the storage function of the underwater base is limited, so there is no need to waste too much.
The remaining nanoworm researchers will also be transferred to Space No. 2, and the base will gradually be replaced by a group of suitable "candidates".
This will become a primary production and processing center, specializing in the production of low-level weapons and spare parts.
Compared with scientific research, manufacturing requires a lot of space.
Smaller armor, small cars, and motorboats are still okay, but larger yachts and fighter planes take up too much space and don’t require much confidentiality.
Those who can enter Space No. 2 are basically high-value and high-risk projects such as Iron Armor, Life No. 1 (Blood Orchid), Nanotoxins, and Super Soldiers.
Like the invisible Quinjet, Luke has it and S.H.I.E.L.D. has it.
The Cobra stealth fighter was developed independently, but its effectiveness is not much worse than that of SHIELD.
Luke had no interest in stuffing this kind of low- to mid-range product into his space.
Of course, the smart kitchen he has in Space No. 2 is a necessity in life and a basic need.
No matter how high-tech the Arctic base is, as long as there are people inside, they need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, so food and daily necessities cannot be stored.
…
A few days later, Tony and Phil were invited, and the two agreed to travel together and arrived together.
After entering from the submarine passage, the two men opened their armor masks and greeted the knights who greeted them.
Go through the exclusive passage to the top-floor observation room. After opening the outer protective layer, this is the best viewing spot. Surrounding the transparent portholes is the azure blue of the shallow sea.
Unlike the gorgeousness and vitality of the tropical ocean, it has a unique atmosphere of tranquility and remoteness.
Tony, a local tycoon who is used to big scenes, was a little envious: "This base is great, how about... I also invest in it?"
As soon as these words came out, Phil also looked over.
Both of them knew the general situation of the Arctic base.
A movable underwater base can also do a lot of things.
But Tony was just saying it casually, he had no urgent need for this base.
At best, it's just a toy, and he can also refer to the relevant technology. One day he can repair some personal items himself and take Pepper for a night swim in the deep sea.
Phil really wanted such a base.
Compared to building a base in space, building a mobile base in the sea is both cheaper and more convenient.
Luke didn't give the two men a chance to fantasize and rejected them directly: "I want to use this place as a processing plant. If you want, build it yourself. I will provide the relevant technology and materials."
Hearing this answer, the two were not angry.
Mixed management is indeed prone to problems, which has nothing to do with personal relationships, otherwise the three people would not manage a team separately.
Luke was willing to provide technology, so Tony achieved his goal.
Supplies? Those were for Phil, the only poor man among the three.
With just the technology, he might not be able to build an underwater base.
During the chat, Tony also used surveillance to visit various areas of the base, and then called up the construction data to flip through it.
Also indispensable is the backdoor program that he casually inserted into the base system.
