Future Disaster

After World War II, the CCCP and America divided the spoils of the Third Reich.

Obsessed with black technology and magic, the Third Reich accumulated vast amounts of technology during its era, but it couldn't be widely adopted for various reasons. For example, the founder of the later HK Company was an engineer at the Third Reich's Mauser factory at the time.

The CCCP, which had already fallen into history, took away most of the technical equipment, while America, through "Operation Paperclip," received the vast majority of the technical talent. Then, relying on its status as a great power, it experimented with technologies that might have gathered dust in warehouses one by one.

Not to mention, the CCCP, which sent humans to space for the first time, and America, which achieved the first human moon landing, it's hard to say this wasn't related to the division of the Third Reich.

After all, later aerospace launch vehicles were basically derived from missile technology from World War II. The CCCP, which developed the world's first launch vehicle, even directly modified an intercontinental missile. The earliest missiles put into actual combat by humans were the Third Reich's V-2 missiles.

Furthermore, the three countries with the highest level of research on the human brain were Germany, Japan, and America. The former two obtained crucial data through extensive human experimentation during World War II. The latter, in addition to direct plunder, obtained a large amount of talent and information in exchange for harboring war criminals.

If such technology truly existed, even if it fled to South America with some war criminals, even if only fragments were left, or if it was only passed down through word of mouth among technicians who knew about it, especially in the area of human enhancement, it would definitely have been recorded.

"Nothing is impossible!" Wei Xiuming said, "The real world doesn't need logic. Would you have imagined a week ago that a person from the future would be chatting with you face-to-face today, discussing a powerful entity that threatens the global structure and even the future of humanity?"

After Wei Xiuming finished speaking, he stopped, hoping the one-eyed bald man would pick up the conversation or fill in the blanks. However, the other party just silently looked at him with his right eye, which prevented Wei Xiuming from saying many of the things he had prepared.

After a long while, Nick Fury finally spoke, "I have five minutes left in my schedule for you. After five minutes, your existence will be recorded because you met with me, so please speak quickly if you have something to say!"

Wei Xiuming was taken aback. Why was he so impatient with him, while being so patient with other protagonists and elaborating at length based on their words? He then launched into his lengthy explanation mode:

"Starting from the new millennium, humanity's extinction began to accelerate. In my era, only humanity was left among the civilizations in the universe, and the population of the human race had already declined to a terrifying number. At the proposal of the then S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Klein, led by Mr. Fantastic Reed, and with financial and technical support from the second-generation Iron Man Morgan, Project Tomorrow Reversal was born."

"Xenomorphs that infiltrated human society through mimicry; vampires who loved and killed humanity; the Akashic Records that store the memories of human society; desire manipulators who control human desires; energy cores from the far reaches of the universe; major blunders made by mages; power from Helheim; artificial intelligence with ill intentions towards humanity; disasters formed by the remnants of ancient sages; the Boon-type virus that distorts reality and data worlds; Pandora's Box containing the energy to destroy planets; time travelers who plunder the past across time."

"Compared to these, Shuka's power was hardly terrifying before they invented the history modification machine."

After finishing, Wei Xiuming didn't continue. Instead, he picked up the order pad and pencil and started drawing again.

Nick Fury waited for a long time, only to find Wei Xiuming pushing another drawing in front of him.

Compared to Shuka's emblem, this drawing was much more exquisite, but its content was terrifying—nine long snakes coiled together, forming the outline of a human head, and in the center of this sphere was a giant eye.

"This is the legendary great leader of Shuka. No one has ever seen its true form, even within Shuka, there are only fragments of descriptions. This is something drawn based on those descriptions."

Wei Xiuming had strong control over his body, able to draw the images in his mind perfectly. What he drew was the appearance of Shuka's leader from the Den-O and OOO movie collaboration.

"I can't reveal anything else. I'm not sure what state this world is in. Is it the past of my world? Or just a very similar parallel world? Perhaps my world also had an existence like me in the past. It was precisely because of someone returning from the future to the past that so many monsters and demons appeared—like the 'Terminator' series, which has had eighteen sequels."

Wei Xiuming plucked a strand of his hair, tore off the page with Shuka's emblem, wrapped it, and handed it to Nick Fury: "Take this for analysis. My gene sequence has obvious artificial traces, originating from Shuka's technology. If you find similar products, pay close attention."

"I've said what I needed to say. You can ask questions now," Wei Xiuming said. "Before that, I'd like to know how you plan to arrange me? Should I act as a warrior, fighting enemies that the heroes and technology of this era cannot defeat, or should I help you with technical upgrades?"

"You can stay in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s science and research department," Nick Fury waved his hand, and a gloved agent came with a sealed bag to collect Wei Xiuming's hair. After the agent left, he said, "You claim to understand a lot of technology, so stay here and put it to good use. Compared to a Captain America, a scientist who can mass-produce them is more important."

This arrangement would benefit S.H.I.E.L.D.'s scientific reserves with Wei Xiuming's technology. As an organization protecting world security, technologically advanced capabilities were essential. Secondly, keeping an uncertain entity like Wei Xiuming under close supervision would facilitate management.

The most crucial point was that if Wei Xiuming wasn't a liar and truly possessed technology ahead of its time, the annual patent fees from licensing would be astronomical. Nick Fury needed to divert a portion of the funds allocated to S.H.I.E.L.D. by the Security Council each year to build his own secret base and hire agents independent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

If he wasn't the director now, and if the next director was a miser, with just a professional accounting team's audit, Nick, the "dark-skinned egg," would definitely be charged with corruption.

But with patents in hand, the financial situation could be presented more favorably.

"I refuse!" Wei Xiuming waved his hand and said in a playful tone, "Among the disasters I mentioned... haven't any of them appeared because of S.H.I.E.L.D.? How many unknown things are hidden in your warehouse? Even the one in the kitchen couldn't figure it out after stepping down as director, let alone the director of my era, who was just a nobody even when the Avengers were active."

Actually, Wei Xiuming wanted to agree. After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. had many good things now, such as the Obelisk that could activate Inhuman genes, items left by aliens on Earth, and most importantly, the Cosmic Cube containing the Space Stone was stored at S.H.I.E.L.D.

That was one of the six supreme authorities in this universe. Not to mention its infinite energy, its authority over space, if even a part of it could be analyzed, it would lead to a qualitative leap.

The new element used in Iron Man's Arc Reactor was obtained by Howard Stark from his research on the Cosmic Cube in the latter half of his life, but it couldn't be realized due to the limitations of the era.

If Wei Xiuming were allowed to research for a while, the storage technology of the Kamen Riders' belts, which seemed to exist in a four-dimensional space, could be realized. Foreigners really lacked creativity; when talking about space, they only thought of space doors. Wasn't the storage ring in Xianxia novels more appealing?

However, under supervision, some things would be difficult to do.

For example, Shuka monsters or something similar absolutely did not exist in this world, but with his own technology, he could guarantee their creation. He could even become a Shuka leader or something similar.
