On the conference table, dozens of life support pods slowly rotated.
Tony zoomed in on one of the images, his gaze settling on the man wearing a black cloak and a metal mask.
"Wait, I've seen this guy before."
Steve walked to the front of the projector and examined it closely.
"These are the people you mentioned before, the ones who infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D.."
"It's not the one we saw; the armor structure is different, and the age is different too."
Tony retrieved two sets of facial data and quickly completed the comparison.
Chen Mo glanced at it.
"This is the same style, but a different skin. Collectors love this kind."
Tony continued flipping through the catalog and soon spotted several familiar faces.
Superwoman.
Johnny Quick.
There's also the Power Ring with a ring attached.
Their uniforms varied; some were simply color variations, while others even involved alterations to their body structure.
Thor stared at one of the Flash's.
"Is he also one of the fast runners?"
"That's right, they look almost the same, with only slight differences."
Steve's expression grew even more serious.
"But the people we encountered before were powerful enough."
"You've only encountered one of their groups."
Chen Mo raised his hand and swiped across the projection, and dozens of sets of cosmic numbers unfolded simultaneously.
"The collection here comes from different worlds; some were captured alive, some were just corpses. That Green Skull has cleaned up at least dozens of universes, and the Crime Syndicate is just one of many."
Tony magnified a set of life data.
The Superwoman inside the life support pod was still alive, and her physical energy response even surpassed that of the versions they had encountered before.
"Her intensity was six times higher."
Dr. Banner had somehow returned to normal, quickly calculated the data, then adjusted his glasses.
"If the records aren't falsified, she alone could destroy most of our conventional forces."
Fury's face grew increasingly dark.
"And Brainiac could put her in a jar."
The conference table fell silent once more.
The Crime Syndicate had casually dismantled S.H.I.E.L.D.. before, but in Brainiac's collection, they were just a series of numbers.
Chen Mo leaned back in his chair, his tone quite relaxed.
These guys are way better than the Earth right now.
Everyone looked at him at the same time.
Chen Mo paused for a moment, then added.
"Of course, not including me."
Tony rolled his eyes.
"Thank you, your last sentence reassured me for a second."
"Half a second? You're quite suspicious."
Chen Mo tapped on the conference table, and the image in the incubation chamber quickly disappeared, replaced by a global map.
Numerous red markers are distributed across all continents.
Some came from the S.H.I.E.L.D.. database, and some from Wakanda's newly opened intelligence system.
"It's still uncertain when the collectors outside will arrive."
Chen Mo looked at Fury.
"Let's clean up the Earth first."
Fury frowned.
"What exactly do you mean by 'cleaning up'?"
" Hydra, the Ten Rings, the Hand, and all the other overt organizations on the list."
Chen Mo tapped a few times, and the number of red markers on the map increased rapidly.
"Get rid of them all."
Steve's expression changed slightly as he looked at the dense markings.
" Hydra has so many bases?"
"Perhaps it's because you didn't handle things properly?"
Chen Mo countered with a question.
Steve fell silent.
Fury stared at the map, his one eye slightly narrowed.
Some of these bases were undetected even by S.H.I.E.L.D.., and a few were even hidden near the energy nodes of the Joint Defense Network.
Is this intelligence reliable?
"Half of it came from their own internal communications."
Chen Mo grinned.
"The remaining half was uncovered by me through their accounts and personnel connections. You agents are usually pretty quick at investigating people, so why did you all become short-sighted when it came to Hydra?"
Fury didn't respond to that sentence.
The fact that Hydra S.H.I.E.L.D. arguably the biggest stain on his career.
Tony zoomed in on the map to the Middle East.
" The Ten Rings also has a heavy weapons factory?"
Three.
Chen Mo pulled up the satellite imagery.
"They were still moving equipment yesterday, planning to come out and scavenge some scrap after Wakanda and the coalition forces have finished fighting."
Tony's expression turned cold.
"These flies certainly get their news quickly."
Steve looked at Chen Mo.
"Are you planning to kill all the members?"
"In my opinion, all armed personnel, researchers, and command personnel should be spared."
Chen Mo's smile faded.
"Ordinary employees can be investigated, and outsiders can be arrested. But anyone who dares to touch those dangerous equipment will die."
Before Steve could say anything more, Banner spoke first.
"If Brainiac invades again, they will likely defect to him."
"It's not possible."
Fury closed several civilian areas on the map.
" Wakanda has proven that with just a few people in authority, an entire defense network can become a weapon for the enemy."
He raised his head and looked at Chen Mo again.
What about the organizations we can't find?
"Let's leave the ones we can't find for now."
Chen Mo spread his hands.
"I'm not a wish-granting machine. But Hydra, those things that practically want to print their mark on the walls, if you're still alive in three days, you might as well find a base to retire."
Fury's face twitched.
Three days?
"Too long?"
"I'll arrange it right now."
Fury nodded and set off immediately.
Tony watched Fury turn and walk away, and couldn't help but sigh.
"His work efficiency has been increasing lately."
Chen Mo nodded.
People are forced to do things.
I think he was mainly driven to that point by you.
Soon, the global defense network was once again in a state of war.
Twelve joint action forces set off simultaneously, and satellites locked onto all targets on the list. Wakanda also handed over two rapid reaction forces to demonstrate their willingness to join the cooperation.
On the other side.
S.H.I.E.L.D.. establishes a new experimental base.
Tony projects Brainiac's robot schematics into the air, while Banner stands beside him, disassembling the control protocols within.
The laboratory door slowly opened.
A man with slightly graying temples, wearing a blue uniform, walked in.
Reed Richards.
He placed a silver device on the table.
"I've studied the data you sent. The simplest way to create a robot that can't be remotely hacked is to eliminate its central processing unit, which could be compromised."
Tony looked up.
Distributed computing?
No, independent operations.
Reed turned on the device, and hundreds of miniature control modules lit up simultaneously.
Each module controls only a part of the system, and they do not share the highest level of access. Even if someone hacks into one of them, they can only make it move one finger.
Banner quickly understood his line of thinking.
"In addition to physical isolation, all core instructions are written to the site."
Tony stared at the modules, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
The three people exchanged a glance.
The Super Robot Project has officially launched.
Tony raised his hand and brought up the Vibranium material inventory.
"Let's try a fifty-meter one first."
Banner paused for a moment.
Fifty meters? Is it really necessary to make it that big?
Tony nodded seriously.
"Since the materials are free, why not make it bigger?"
