"With this ability, it's time to go find Hank Pym."
Wenwu's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Hank Pym, a leading biochemist and quantum physicist, founder of Pym Technologies, and the Original Ant-Man.
He once worked for S.H.I.E.L.D.. and unexpectedly developed the incredible Pym Particles.
After discovering that S.H.I.E.L.D.. intended to forcibly steal and replicate particle technology, he resolutely resigned and went into seclusion, completely sealing off all core data and living in seclusion.
The principle behind Pym Particles is extremely advanced; they can forcibly adjust the interatomic spacing, magnify or shrink objects at will, synchronize changes in mass, and even stably open Quantum Realm channels.
Even in the later stages of the Avengers, Tony Stark relied on the underlying principles of Pym Particles to develop the Quantum Time Machine, laying the foundation for time travel.
The night was deep.
A stealth fighter jet quietly took off from the Ten Rings airspace and flew at full speed towards San Francisco United States.
Shortly afterward, the fighter jets landed quietly.
Wenwu appeared alone in an old apartment neighborhood in San Francisco.
His mental energy spread out instantly, and he immediately sensed that there were many people in this neighborhood who were different from ordinary people; they were clearly members of the S.W.O.R.D. and Hydra.
They have been keeping watch on Dr. Pym lives in seclusion, for years.
He also had a clear understanding of the layout of Pym Apartments.
Dr. Pym's apartment is filled with layers of intricate mechanisms, and underground it houses a massive number of special ants.
Countless ants carry miniature detection devices on their backs, enabling them to scan the entire yard for any unusual activity.
Dr. Pym can detect and warn of the slightest abnormal movement in the outside world.
"Um?"
Wenwu's eyes widened in surprise, and relying on his metal-based supernatural ability to keenly sense things, he instantly detected the anomaly.
Inside the head of the sleeping Dr. Pym was a large number of specially made chips that could block mental intrusion!
"Careful enough, and ruthless enough."
He thought to himself.
Upon closer inspection, Dr. Pym's cerebral cortex was found to be densely packed with countless microchips, all of which were large-scale mind-blocking devices, miniaturized from Pym Particles.
These chips are layered with protection and are specifically designed to target mental abilities.
"You think you can block all mental probing with these chips?"
A faint smile appeared on Wenwu's lips, his expression calm and confident.
"You're guarding against methods that spy on the brain and read the information within it. Unfortunately for you, my current ability allows me to directly peer into your soul!"
Standing a hundred meters away, he subtly activated his " Soul Peering " on the sleeping Dr. Pym!
In the next instant, Wenwu's consciousness sank into the depths of Dr. Pym's soul, beginning to search for and extract all the core technical data of the Pym Particles.
After some thought, in order to leave nothing out, he decided to browse through Dr. Pym's complete life memories layer by layer.
The memories stored at the level of the soul are far more extensive and complete than those stored in the brain.
The human brain forgets and blurs memories over time, but all experiences recorded by the soul are never lost; they simply lie dormant deep within consciousness.
A massive flood of memories surged into his mind, rapidly depleting Wenwu mental energy.
Ordinary people simply cannot withstand this level of soul reading; they would instantly become mentally exhausted and overdrawn.
But his mental strength was so great that it was more than enough to sustain him for long periods of intense reading.
One hour, two hours...
Dr. Pym was fast asleep in bed, was awake, but he was covered in sweat, tossing and turning in bed, looking uncomfortable, as if he were trapped in a nightmare.
But this nightmare did not surprise him!
Three full hours passed, and the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
Wenwu then slowly withdrew his " Soul Peering," his face pale and his expression exhausted.
But his eyes were filled with intense joy.
At this moment, he finally understood that the manufacture of Pym Particles was extremely complicated and required attention to a vast amount of detail.
Even if outsiders obtain Dr. Pym's theoretical formulas, without the complete set of practical details, they simply cannot replicate the finished product.
It's no wonder that even a genius like Howard couldn't reverse engineer the Pym Particles when he got the sample.
Having obtained what he desired, Wenwu didn't linger any longer, quickly boarded a stealth fighter, and sped back to the Ten Rings Empire!
Meanwhile, Dr. Pym wakes up from a nightmare!
He was breathing heavily, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
He just had a terrible nightmare; in his dream, he was in a dark maze and couldn't find his way out.
That feeling of suffocation and despair felt incredibly real to him!
"Could I have been hacked by a psychic?"
Dr. Pym immediately became alert and quickly checked him, examining the device that connected to his brain.
After finally finding nothing amiss, he breathed a sigh of relief, "At least it wasn't a hack!"
Upon returning to the Ten Rings, Wenwu did not immediately devote himself to researching Pym Particles, but instead spent more time on his Multiple Man.
If we can integrate the abilities of Multiple Man in the future, we can also increase our efforts to research Pym Particles!
Time flies.
A year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Many significant events occurred in the world this year.
First, the Ten Rings have continuously used force to intervene in war-torn neighboring countries, supporting puppet regimes to unify the country, leaving these countries angry but unable to speak out.
Over the past year, most of the Middle East has achieved peace, with the Ten Rings Empire following its lead.
Today, the Ten Rings Empire's army has also entered Afghanistan, interfering with local governments and consolidating its power under the guise of maintaining peace.
However, the region is home to numerous US military bases, and throughout the year, the US military continued to deploy troops to try to stop the expansion of the Ten Rings, frequently resulting in small-scale clashes with the Ten Rings.
Even with Star Ring and Hammer Industries ' mech weapons, and even with a large number of Sentinels deployed, the US military was like throwing an egg against a rock, crumbling at the first encounter with the Ten Rings.
If they hadn't used the Star Ring Group's mechs and weapons, they might have been able to put up a fight against the Ten Rings!
However, Star Ring was a company secretly established by Ten Rings. The deployment locations of Star Ring's mechs and weapons directly exposed the US military's arrangements to Ten Rings. With their already outdated equipment, how could they possibly fight this battle?
Secondly, Star Ring released a limb regeneration drug during this period, causing a huge sensation worldwide, and its market value directly exceeded one trillion!
Indeed, under Dr. Sterns's guidance, Dr. Connors finally perfected the limb regeneration drug within a year.
He even injected himself with the injection, and his severed arm regenerated directly. His body also possessed extremely strong self-healing and limb regeneration abilities.
The United States intended to force Star Ring to hand over the formula, but Star Ring made it clear that if the United States continued to pressure them, they would relocate directly.
It was only after United States investigation that it was discovered that Star Ring had secretly transferred a large amount of assets and key personnel to Hong Kong, where they were under the protection of China.
This infuriated the United States federal government.
Thirdly, several powerful nations and factions have announced that they have built stable Arc Reactor!
The world's energy sector is about to undergo a massive transformation!
In this transformation, Star Ring has also ventured into multiple industries, especially the battery field, where it holds a dominant position globally, with the other half being Stark Industries ' robust battery technology.
This is clearly Tony's masterpiece!
The two companies' batteries have energy storage capabilities dozens of times stronger than those on the market, enough to completely replace fuel, whether for civilian or military use!
The two companies have formed a monopoly, but only in the civilian sector. Military forces around the world have other options. Thanks to the inspiration from the Arc Reactor, nuclear fission reactors have been greatly improved, and the core weapons energy source does not use batteries from these two companies!
Only some weaker countries would choose to make purchases!
The fourth thing that followed was that various countries successively stated that Mutants were no longer considered a disease and would no longer be subject to forced arrest and detention!
Mutants have legal status, and various countries openly recruit powerful Mutants to form their own supernatural bureaus.
Suddenly, Mutants became incredibly popular all over the world!
This sudden change initially stunned the Mutants, but they were then filled with excitement and gratitude towards the Ten Rings Empire.
All these changes were brought about by the Ten Rings Empire.
