Grasp the Main Contradiction
Having access to real intelligence, Nick Fury naturally didn't believe Loki's nonsense about becoming the king of Earth. Loki had never shown such thoughts when he was dealing with those underground organizations during his Supergiant. If the alien army really conquered Earth, Loki wouldn't be among the beneficiaries of the world division. Instead, Nick Fury would be able to become the king of a larger country by virtue of his status as CEO of Conglomerate B.
The premise is that the Supergiant will keep his promise and honestly deliver on the promised benefits.
However, these things are enough to appease the World Security Council —you see, I was right to ask for more authority and apply for more funding. Of the three aliens that invaded Earth, one was killed on the spot, and now another has been captured. We only need to deal with the last one, and then everything will be fine.
Although Thor repeatedly assured him that his brother was simple and kind, and at most liked to play pranks, after Black Eggplant presented a series of concrete evidence of Loki's illegal and disorderly conduct, and Loki admitted to colluding with aliens to commit evil deeds, Thor said nothing more and could only watch as Loki was escorted by Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. armed with energy weapons to a luxurious cell specially built for superpowered individuals.
It's really luxurious, a private cell of just over ten square meters, costing over a million US dollars to build, and it even comes with free instant coffee and fashion magazines.
However, the matter is not even half resolved yet. The whereabouts of the Supergiant are still unknown, and it is very likely that it is hiding in this Helicarrier. The Tesseract has also disappeared without a trace, and it is highly likely that it is in the hands of Dr. Selvig. At any time, a portal will open, and an endless alien army will launch a massive attack on Earth.
However, Captain America and Tony Stark were unaware of all this. They continued arguing with Black Eggplant about the unfinished topic from before. Tony Stark seemed to have forgotten that he was the one who started it all, and he pestered Wei Xiuming to discuss issues related to space technology with him.
Tony Stark exclaimed that it was impossible as Wei Xiuming presented one data and formula after another, because it was not entirely compatible with the knowledge and theories he had learned and understood, or rather, it was not on the same starting point as the current mainstream spacetime theory. The explanation was more thorough and more insightful—it was as if the person in front of him had directly opened up another theoretical system.
Indeed, this is the case. Most of the technology used by Wei Xiuming was derived from the data extracted from USB Drive, and some of it was extraterrestrial knowledge recorded in the Skrulls spaceship. Of course, knowledge from other universes and extraterrestrial realms would not be completely consistent with the knowledge system of Marvel Earth.
However, Captain America is having some disagreements with Black Eggplant over the development of energy weapons. Since waking up, he has spent most of his time, apart from learning some modern knowledge, arguing with the United States military in court. His mindset is still stuck in the World War II era, and he stubbornly believes that the emergence of energy weapons will increase the ambitions of some people.
Faced with the righteous-looking Steve Rogers, Black Eggplant didn't intend to persuade him; someone else was more suitable—Kent Clark from the future, who could always spout grand principles using various examples.
The one-on-one lesson between Wei Xiuming and Tony Stark was temporarily suspended. Iron Man had just opened the door to a new world, was interrupted by Black Eggplant at the very point of the lesson. He felt like he was experiencing withdrawal symptoms and desperately wanted Wei Xiuming to continue explaining—even though Stark Industries' current industrial processing capabilities were insufficient to put these technologies into practice.
Even Wei Xiuming only managed to create the teleportation gun because he relied on the Great Leader's atomic-level manipulation capabilities to manufacture the appropriate parts.
"Your Highness, please tell me how many wars Asgard has endured over the past thousand years to protect Earth, which you call Midgard?"
Wei Xiuming didn't explain anything to Captain America. Instead, he turned to look at Thor, who was eating cookies and drinking coffee. Having spent some time on Earth, Thor had restrained himself from the Asgard habit of smashing cups when he was happy.
When the conversation turned to him, Thor dusted off the cookie crumbs on his hands and said, "No need to be so polite, just call me Thor."
"As for wars, there have been far too many. Frost Giant, and other alien creatures... I even killed a very strange dragon," Thor mumbled, having witnessed far too many wars on Earth while his name still resounded throughout Midgard.
"Captain, do you think humanity's future shouldn't be in its own hands, but instead should always rely on Asgard's protection? Besides, even the gods will eventually face their twilight, and Asgard will one day fall." Wei Xiuming looked down into Captain America's eyes and said, "Energy weapons are humanity's only power capable of rivaling aliens. You may not know, but while you were asleep, an alien fleet was deployed outside Earth's atmosphere. If it hadn't retreated for some reason, Earth might have become an alien colony."
"What colonists did to the natives, you should have studied United States history, so I don't need to elaborate—they wiped out their population, leaving only a small fraction, and gave them a place called a reservation, which was actually more like an animal sanctuary, where they were kept like animals in captivity."
"It was your development of the Tesseract that attracted the attention of those who coerced Loki into committing those heinous acts. It's like the Midgardian broadcasting to other civilizations in the universe that they are capable of high-level combat." Thor was initially happy, but Wei Xiuming's sudden mention of Ragnarok displeased God of Thunder, so he spoke up to refute it, while also trying to exonerate his adorable younger brother.
It wasn't my brother who did evil; it was your actions that attracted bad people.
"Wait a minute, our argument is pointless... Let's start by going through the topics we discussed earlier. How did our conflict arise?"
Seeing the debate and questioning heading towards an argument, Wei Xiuming quickly interrupted the topic and began to find the source of the conflict. Then, the other three, except for Thor, all looked at Tony Stark. It was because of the old man's behavior that the originally relatively harmonious environment had become full of conflicts.
To avoid standing out, Thor also looked at Tony Stark.
"Dr. Clark, there are still some things I don't understand about the space parameters." As the center of the incident, Tony Stark himself seemed completely oblivious to the awkward atmosphere, instead entering a research mode, eager to gain more knowledge from Wei Xiuming.
