CHAPTER 383 DECIDED
Hearing Lin Rui’s answer, Tony’s pupils contracted as he obviously didn’t expect Lin Rui to plan that way. If they share this news, it means that Lin Rui and Tony’s secret alliance will have other people involved in it. In the end, Tony doesn’t know if he wants to do it or not.
“Let SHIELD and X-Men also know the huge threats that the earth may face now, so our E Grade s.p.a.ce Warship can be manufactured out in the open without any opposition. And if we are supported by them, the manufacturing speed will also be improved by a lot.” Seeing that Tony was silent, Lin Rui continued.
This is what Lin Rui thought of after discovering what Infinity Stone in Hydra’s hand would cause. Only by rapidly increasing the Earth’s armed forces several times can they counter various events that might threaten the earth in the future.
Of course, if there are other ways, Lin Rui does not want more people to intervene in his secret plan with Tony. After all, up to now, there are not many people who can make Lin Rui fully trust them, not even Director Fury of SHIELD. However, under this threat, Lin Rui has no other way.
After speaking, Lin Rui waited quietly for Tony to speak. After all, Lin Rui came to Tony as he needed his advice. No matter how smart Lin Rui is, he is just a person. It is normal that he might have overlooked some things. Besides, Tony might have better advice on this sort of thing.
Seeing Lin Rui looking at him, Tony’s frown slowly relaxed. “Jackson, I know what you’re worried about. But do you really think that it’s a good idea to get this technology out there?”
“The cosmic threats you’re talking about hasn’t really arrived on earth yet, and others, especially someone like Fury won’t necessarily agree with what you’re saying. After all, if I didn’t know you well, I wouldn’t have believed what you just said. In such a case, I don’t think that sharing E Grade s.p.a.ce Warship’s information is a good way, it will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.” Before Lin Rui could answer, Tony had continued.
“So, do you have any good suggestions? You just said that even you can’t build an E Grade Aeros.p.a.ce Warship while hiding it from everyone.” After listening to Tony, Lin Rui frowned tightly and then asked.
Of course, Lin Rui knows Fury’s character. He just wants to let the SHIELD control and protect the earth. If he knows that Lin Rui and Tony have such a powerful armed technology, he may take some other actions. Even if Fury does not move upon Lin Rui and Tony for the sake of the overall situation, the World Security Council above him will not ignore this. They will not allow them to make weapons that are not under their control.
“Jackson, what do you think of SHIELD’s Halicarrier?” Tony suddenly asked such a question without answering Lin Rui’s words immediately.
“Hmm? SHIELD’s Helicarrier?! Do you mean? …” Lin Rui froze for a moment after hearing Tony’s question, and he remembers something.
In fact, SHIELD’s Halicarrier has already been built. The reason why it has not yet officially entered service is that Tony’s large scale Anti-Gravity engine has not been completely rebuilt. In this way, SHIELD’s Helicarrier cannot fly into the sky when its power technology is not mature. If it falls from a high alt.i.tude, it would become a joke all over the world.
However, Lin Rui, who had been following Tony’s experiments, knew that the large Anti-Gravity Engine had already been modified. Tony delayed delivering one to the SHIELD because he didn’t like them and the other reason was that he didn’t want a Helicarrier, a strategic weapon with a rapid global strike range, to appear early, which would have a counterbalancing effect on Tony’s Iron Man.
But now, if what Lin Rui said is true, then it makes no sense to drag the large Anti-Gravity Engine’s delivery. He can deliver it to SHIELD as early as possible to allow their Helicarrier to serve early so that they can have a guarantee when the danger comes.
“Yes, a complete Helicarrier, a Helicarrier equipped with a Large Anti-Gravity Engine. Although it is much worse than the Aeros.p.a.ce Warship of ours that would be able to fight in s.p.a.ce and the atmosphere, at least, there would be some military support if the danger does come.” Seeing Lin Rui’s expression, Tony knew he had guessed it, so he said it directly.
“Although the Helicarrier is good, it is still a lot worse. If the war really comes, it would not be enough to rely on the Helicarriers alone.” Although he understood Tony’s meaning, the combat effectiveness of the Helicarriers is limited, even if there are more then one, it will not work.
“Ah! You don’t seem very optimistic about future disasters on earth!” Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Tony said helplessly.
Tony, who had no clear idea of other civilizations in the universe, could not imagine how powerful those civilizations would be and how many of them could destroy the existence of a planet on their own. As far as Tony is concerned, the current earth civilization is already very strong, as long as all the people on the earth are integrated together, it would definitely be a very powerful force.
“It’s not that I don’t like the chances of earth, I just want to make sufficient preparations. I never underestimate the strength of the earth’s civilization, nor do I think the earth will perish in the future, I just want to minimize the damage.” Hearing Tony’s words, Lin Rui answered seriously.
In Marvel World, the Earth is originally a protagonist on its own. Although it has always invited many disasters, it has always been able to remain intact in front of dangers. But what Lin Rui wants is not just remain intact in front of danger. He wants to minimize the damage to the earth, so as to ensure the safety of his family and friends. In Lin Rui’s idea, it is best to be able to block all the cosmic civilizations that threaten the earth away from the earth, and not let war spread to the earth’s surface.
“Well, I know what you mean. Then, let’s make it public! However, it’s not open to other forces, we will only include the people we trust the most. As long as they understand what is happening on earth, they will support us.” In the end, Tony agrees with Lin Rui’s decision but he has some suggestions of his own.
“Mr. Stark means … to set up another top-secret group, like the two of us?” Lin Rui also reacted quickly after hearing Tony’s words.
Although Lin Rui is currently cooperating with SHIELD, X-Men and Earth Sorcerers, the most confidential matters are known only to him and Tony (Ancient One knows but he should not interfere), and this is also the beginning of Lin Rui’s decision to form an organization that can influence the entire world. Now listening to Tony, they need to add new members to the group.
“Yes, power and strength have always been in the hands of a few people, we need to gather these people together.” Nodding his head, Tony answered seriously.
Hearing Tony’s definite answer, Lin Rui was agitated, did his plan finally take a big step forward? Lin Rui’s confidence grew as he quickly placed enough candidates in his mind.
The Ancient Sorcerer Order and the Ancient One who leads them has already known Lin Rui’s plan. He has expressed his position and he will provide some support for Lin Rui, but will not directly intervene. And Professor Charles of X-Men will definitely make the right choice for the future situation of Mutants, and the only SHIELD remains as a challenge.
“Okay! Let’s do it then!” Lin Rui spoke with visible excitement on his face.
