Nick Fury sat in his office, playing with an orange in his hand. He had carefully read the report submitted by Phil Coulson.
Putting the report aside, he thought that compared to the chaotic situations that SHIELD had been facing recently, the slightly doubtful Cade Yeager was insignificant.
Some time ago, there was a new discovery in the saltwater lake that was bombarded by the Green Goblin. The diving agents found a lot of small metal fragments after digging up the mud at the bottom of the lake. The photos of these fragments were placed on his desk. Although the deformation and rust spots were very serious, the Osborn Industries logo on it was still clearly visible.
Apparently, there was a secret laboratory of Osborn Industries beneath the beach that the Green Goblin suddenly attacked, and it was very likely that Norman Osborn had been hiding there before.
Unfortunately, the Green Goblin's attack was too powerful, and SHIELD's discoveries underwater were extremely limited. Apart from these metal fragments, no more clues were found.
If possible, he hopes to cooperate with the Green Goblin. Compared with the Green Goblin, the monsters created by Osborn Industries are obviously more reckless and pose a greater threat to stability.
Unfortunately, the Green Goblin is too elusive, and SHIELD has no way to communicate with him.
The Cat Demon, who is as powerful as the Green Goblin, seems to have completely disappeared from the earth. Hawkeye disguised himself and joined the Continental Hotel, but he never saw the Cat Demon appear in the Continental Hotel again.
SHIELD can only rely on itself to deal with Norman Osborn who launched the attack.
He stood up, scanned his iris, and walked into the director's exclusive elevator. The elevator quickly dropped down and soon entered the underground of the SHIELD headquarters. The entire underground was almost hollowed out and turned into a weapons production workshop.
This is where elite scientific researchers from S.H.I.E.L.D. and Stark Industries gather to carry out a mission codenamed Titan under the leadership of Tony Stark.
After supercomputer simulation, Tony Stark set the height of Titan at 89 meters, which is enough to fight against an adult Godzilla and still maintain flexible mobility. A larger size is not impossible, the power of a large Ark reactor can easily power a larger design model, but the strength of the material and the output power of the hydraulic drive device limit the size of Titan.
If a Titan is designed to be too tall, its own weight will be enough to crush it.
At this time, the project was still in the skeleton stage, because the Titan's skeleton was too large to be forged as a whole, and Tony Stark gave up welding and riveting. These traditional connection methods have limited strength. When the Titan is moving and fighting, the skeleton may need to withstand tens of thousands of tons of impact force, and the connection is likely to break directly.
In just a few days, he improved the existing laser additive manufacturing technology for large metal components and developed a more advanced laser printer, which slowly printed out the huge skeleton by laser sintering gold-titanium alloy powder.
Now, robotic arms are assembling these high-strength components, and the outline of Titan can already be vaguely seen.
"Depending solely on hydraulics, the Titan's movements would be relatively clumsy, and it would not be able to perform precise and detailed combat moves like a real human body. I recently found several papers on artificial nerves and muscles. Although the authors of the papers are extremely stupid, the papers still have some merits. I redesigned the formula of the nerves and muscles, and you quickly produced a finished product with experimental performance."
Tony Stark looked a little haggard, with a big beard on his chin, even shaggier than when he was kidnapped by the Ten Rings, but his eyes were so bright that they almost glowed.
Even Stark Industries cannot provide such nearly endless funds and manpower to build a giant like Titan. This is a real money-eating beast. So far, the Titan project has cost 16.3 billion US dollars. If you want to build a complete version, it is very likely that you will have to spend several times more money.
When Nick Fury allocated the funds, he didn't even blink and transferred all the money to the Titan Project account.
"Stark, how's the progress? How long will it take for the Titans to be able to fight?"
What he cares about is when Titan will be completed.
SHIELD used the seismic monitors of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to monitor the vibrations under the ground in the area near New York. Although there were serious false alarms, they still determined the location of Norman Osborn. Unfortunately, SHIELD had no means to deal with him and chose not to take action against him.
It feels really bad to just sit back and watch your enemy grow stronger.
"I'm not sure. Even if I'm the smartest person in the world, this is the first time I've made such a large weapon. The current progress is already very fast. What's more difficult is the configuration of the weapons. We need to design several new weapons for Titan. The only references are the main guns of the battleships in the last world. She can't defeat Godzilla with her fists alone."
Tony Stark picked up a cup of chlorophyll and took a big sip. Because of the Ark reactor on his chest, he had begun to show symptoms of palladium poisoning. Tony quietly concealed his physical condition, and he only wanted to build the Titan before he was poisoned by palladium.
Titan will continue his will and defeat the Green Goblin once and for all.
"What's wrong with your body?"
Nick Fury's one eye stared at Tony Stark.
As an experienced spy chief, Tony Stark's physical condition naturally could not be hidden from him. He even discovered the problem of palladium poisoning earlier than Tony Stark.
"Nothing, I'm just too tired during this period."
Tony Stark had an unnatural expression on his face. He turned around and wanted to supervise the progress of the skeleton manufacturing.
"I've read your medical report, Stark. The concentration of palladium in your body has exceeded the normal range by more than a hundred times. I'm surprised that you can still stand here."
Nick Fury opened a box and said to Tony Stark.
"Your father left you an inheritance that may be able to solve your problem. Before you completely solve the side effects of the Ark reactor, you can use this first."
Tony Stark's facial muscles twitched a little. He stared at Nick Fury and said in an unbelievable tone:
"You want me to keep carrying this? I won't do it even if I die!"
Inside the box is a suitcase-sized lithium battery connected to a ring-shaped electromagnet.
"You need to grow up, Tony. America needs you alive now. In terms of the function of maintaining life, this lithium battery is no different from your Ark reactor. Remember to charge it every five days."
