Cybertronian Jet Fighter Modification

Siberia Base!

The Spider-Man- Men were unloaded from the truck, disinfected, and dressed in Hydra uniforms before being placed together for centralized management. They were professionally trained female agents, and the possibility of converting them with a few words was zero. Russell assigned Natasha to the task, demanding that she brainwash them into becoming his own people as quickly as possible.

At the same time, Russell ordered the creation of files to examine and calculate their various physical performance indicators. The conclusion was that, before reaching their physiological peak, any of them would not survive being injected with the Super Soldier Serum.

As we all know, a woman's peak physiological age is between eighteen and twenty-four years old. The average age of these female trainees is too young, and their physical fitness is far below the passing grade.

Dr. Erskine's Super Soldier Serum placed high demands on the mental fortitude of the test subjects, while Russell's replica of the Super Soldier Serum placed even higher demands, requiring not only mental fortitude but also a strict standard for physical fitness.

After reviewing the files, Russell could only conclude that even if these female trainees were fully physically mature, very few would meet the passing grade. Undeniably, their willpower was incredibly strong, but in terms of physical fitness... women are ultimately at a disadvantage.

Natasha was very worried about this. She knew her boss's future plans. If the junior girls could not be strengthened, they would just be slightly stronger ordinary people in the end, and might be abandoned one day after losing their value.

To this end, Natasha specifically talked with Russell for three nights, extracting a useful piece of information. The Heart-shaped herb within Wakanda can greatly enhance physical attributes, granting Superman senses, speed, strength, agility, and endurance, with far fewer side effects than the Super Soldier Serum.

Upon receiving this intelligence, Natasha placed even greater emphasis on intelligence gathering in Wakanda and accelerated the infiltration of Hydra's influence in Africa.

Russell knew what Natasha was thinking. Firstly, she empathized with her fellow students who were also suffering, and secondly, the number of Winter Soldier at the base had increased dramatically, Bucky's status as the chief instructor had risen accordingly. She was still a commander without any subordinates, and she didn't have enough authority without anyone to speak up for her.

It's a good thing when subordinates have conflicts and competition; it's better than them working together in a united front!

Therefore, Russell deliberately leaked this information to Natasha, and to prevent her from becoming suspicious, he reluctantly revealed it over three nights.

Actually, he didn't care whether there were female super soldiers or not, because Yelena, the second Black Widow, had shown outstanding talent at a young age, and she alone had made a great harvest in this operation.

Outstanding talents naturally require greater resources to be cultivated, and Russell reserved a contractual position for Yelena.

I thought that girls of this age would be going through a rebellious phase and would just go through the motions of signing a contract like Bucky did back then, but the result was quite different. She adapted to her new identity at an extremely fast pace and worshipped Russell as a faith.

It's strange. She clearly had the calm and collected demeanor of an iceberg, and was destined to be a strong woman who would rely solely on herself. I never expected her to give in so quickly. It's utterly shameless!

Russell attributed the reason to her brutal spy training career. The girl had been lonely and lacked love since childhood. She appeared aloof to strangers, but in reality, she desperately needed emotional support.

In the office, Yelena stood impeccably before Russell in her Hydra uniform. Western girls mature very early; at only fifteen, she already possessed a curvaceous figure, though her face remained slightly immature.

"BOSS, I have undergone multiple interrogation training sessions and am fully capable of accepting serum injections and enduring the pain during the modification process."

"Yes, I know, you are excellent."

Russell flipped through the intelligence reports sent back from Africa and casually made a perfunctory comment. This was Yelena's countless suggestion, and he was used to it.

"Boss, please don't underestimate me..."

"Yes, I know, you are excellent."

Information about Wakanda mentions the current King Azzuri and Queen Nanali. Azzuri is known as a wise man and is extremely beloved by the people.

The intelligence report included a photo of Azzuri taken during a border conflict, in Azzuri personally led troops, along with several tribal chiefs, to drive the invaders out of Wakanda's borders.

This conflict was orchestrated by Hydra. Due to the Wakanda's xenophobic nature, it was difficult for spies to infiltrate, and the strategy of bribing their way through repeatedly failed. Later, they changed their strategy: since they couldn't infiltrate and investigate, they would let Wakanda display its military strength itself.

The Wakanda soldiers in the photo, besides shields and spears, also include a small group equipped with firearms. This was a rudimentary weaponry from World War I era, and most African countries had similar equipment; whether it was concealed remains unclear.

"The intelligence is still insufficient..."

Looking at the metal spear held by Azzuri in the photo, Russell pondered for a moment, then continued to instruct his subordinates to plan conflicts, or buy them if none existed.

Not everyone is content to stay in one place like the Wakanda. Many African tribes are quite ambitious. Give them money and weapons, and they are happy to fight and seize territory.

"BOSS, about the serum injection..." Yelena was getting anxious after being ignored by Russell repeatedly, her face flushed and her voice raised.

"Yes, I know, you are excellent."

Russell thought for a moment, got up from his desk, patted Yelena on the shoulder as he passed by, mysteriously put something in her hand, and then held her hand tightly.

"Yelena, your persistence makes me very happy. This is a reward for you. Don't let anyone else know, or it will be taken away!" After saying that, Russell quickly left.

Yelena stood there dumbfounded, and when she opened her palm, she was immediately speechless.

One piece of candy!

"Who would steal this thing?!"

Yelena bristled, raised her hand... but couldn't bear to throw it away, so she opened the candy wrapper, ate it, and pouted, huffing, "They actually gave me candy? I'm not a child anymore. Ugh, it's too sweet, it's not tasty at all."

On the upper level of the base, Russell ordered his men to clear out a warehouse and used Item Card to release the Cybertron jet fighter.

With a length of 20 meters, a height of 5 meters, and a wingspan of 15 meters, it has a ferocious and imposing appearance. The fuselage has thick and sharp armor in many places. Even without using firepower, it can destroy the world's top fighter jets in a head-on collision without being damaged itself.

"Boss, is this the alien fighter jet?"

Upon learning that Russell was clearing out the warehouse to use as a helipad, Natasha and Bucky rushed over as quickly as possible. Having been used to Russell conjuring things out of thin air, they didn't show much surprise and their attention was immediately drawn to the fighter jets.

"That's right!" Russell jumped onto the wing of the fighter jet and walked towards the top of the cockpit. "Wakanda's continued probing has yielded little result. I'm worried they have some trump cards up their sleeves. Let's modify the fighter jets in case we need them."

Bucky, his eyes gleaming with longing, asked, "Sir, after the modifications, will it be able to carry people out of the atmosphere?"

"Sure, but after the modifications, it can only accommodate a maximum of three people. Starting space exploration like this would be tantamount to suicide!" Russell said irritably.

"Actually, if we think about it from another angle, we can leave Earth first and steal a spaceship. After all, building a spaceship from scratch takes too long." When it comes to his best friend, Bucky's IQ spikes, and he always comes up with amazing strategies.

"I can consider it, but I don't have Star Map, so how would I know which star systems have civilizations..." Russell paused at this point, not realizing that just because he didn't have one, it didn't mean that other places on Earth didn't.

Kamar-Taj likely possesses Star Map, Sorcerer Supreme, with his lewd and unconventional nature, might frequently lead groups of sorcerers on space tours. Even if they don't travel, the materials used by the sorcerers in their daily spellcasting wouldn't all originate from Earth. Furthermore, Russell recalls that Kamar-Taj's library contains numerous Magic Book from other cosmic civilizations.

Most importantly, although the Sorcerer Supreme may not be famous on Earth, he is a well-known figure in the universe who intimidates many big shots. His reputation must have been built up little by little.

"Perhaps mages rely on opening portals to reach other star systems... Never mind, let's take Wakanda first and build the base first. I'll go to Kamar-Taj when I have some free time."

Modifying the fighter jet was something only Russell could do personally; others could at most lend a hand, but they wouldn't learn anything from watching. This was because he was the only one in the entire universe who could understand Cybertron script.

"System, use 'Skill Card: Cybertronian Auto Repair'."

[Skill Card: Cybertronian Auto Repair (Professional windshield tinting, also offers headlight repair, hood restoration, modification, polishing, and painting)]

If there were a Ratchet Character Card at this point, it would save a lot of trouble, but Russell only has Optimus Prime and the Fallen, and he's reluctant to use them for modifications, so he can only use Magic Power to grind it out.

"Let me see... modifying the drone into a cockpit... we can use the spaceships from the world of I, Robot as a model... energy, weapons, reconnaissance, communication systems, etc..." Russell disassembled the fighter jet and crawled inside, imagining what he would need to add to fly it into deep space, "The space is too small to store necessities. Imitating Earth's basic ecological system isn't difficult, but the space limitation still won't work..."

As he pondered this, Russell suddenly realized that the scientists at S.H.I.E.L.D.. were incredibly capable. Not only could the Quinjet they created leave Earth, but they also sent the Hulk to Sakaar on the other side of the universe.

"S.H.I.E.L.D.... wait, aren't the scientists at S. H. I. E. L. D. Hydra same scientists at S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Russell's face showed a strange expression. If the plot were to develop as it did, he could very well be the father of the Quinjet, or at least designed by his student.

I accidentally became the father of modern human spacecraft, how embarrassing!

Bucky stood to the side, watching the dismembered Cybertron fighter jet with longing eyes, occasionally handing Russell a few tools.

"Sir, are you drawing Magic Circle?"

"This is Cybertron... You wouldn't understand even if I told you. Keep quiet, or get out."

Cybertron's deformable metals are highly malleable and can be reprocessed and used after being shaped. Their toughness and ductility are somewhat like soft plastic, but their hardness is completely incomparable.

Russell had access to information about the AllSpark. Without the need for thermal melting of metals, he could carve symbols and use electric current to ignite them, allowing them to be freely reassembled into any shape he desired.
