Currently, there are only two candidates who are more suitable sponsors, have the greatest hope of investing, and can obtain nuclear materials: Tony and Nick Fury.
Luke believed that no matter whether it was Tony or Egghead, as long as he proposed the nuclear fusion project, these two people would not turn a blind eye.
Tony's side was more uncertain; after all, the relationship between the two was already very tense. Tony had probably discovered his true identity. Tony had the capital to refuse; after all, compared with nuclear fusion technology, the Arc Reactor was not bad.
There were also variables on Nick Fury's side. Luke thought that S.H.I.E.L.D. might become a snake agency in a few days. Wouldn't it be aiding the enemy if they used nuclear fusion technology?
Luke couldn't believe that Hydra hadn't discovered him yet. They must have noticed him and were watching him in secret.
If he used the fusion technology, he estimated that Hydra would be unable to sit still and would come looking for him in a minute. He was not afraid of a few Hydra agents, but he thought it was troublesome.
He made hundreds of millions of dollars every minute, and wherever he looked was a sea of stars. A man determined to defeat Thanos didn't have time to chat with these World War II veterans. If they dared to come out and mess with him, he would crush them without discussion.
He still trusted what Nick Fury said.
Of course, what he was referring to here was not the character, but the attitude towards human interests. Character? It was extremely bad, just like that face. The kind that would cheat you without consulting you.
After thinking it over, Luke nodded.
He decided to try the braised egg first.
If it didn't work, he would go find Tony again. At worst, he could lower his attitude this time and actively seek cooperation. Tony was a big dog owner, and the only thing left when he was poor was money. If you had money, you were the boss.
...
When Luke called, Nick Fury was not at home. He was probably looking at the Cosmic Cube again. That was Nick Fury's favorite.
When Hill urgently informed Nick Fury through the internal line about Luke's strong desire to purchase nuclear materials, Nick Fury was shocked.
Nick Fury's tone changed: "The little brat wants to build nuclear weapons?! Is there anything else he doesn't want to do?"
He had been worried about this day.
He was afraid that Luke would keep tinkering with cutting-edge technologies and would sooner or later shift his attention to nuclear weapons.
Nick Fury had no doubt that Luke had the ability to develop nuclear weapons.
Nick Fury was not too worried because obtaining nuclear materials was a barrier. But Luke actually came to him and asked for nuclear materials. How could this be tolerated?
So Nick Fury hurried back.
Just as Luke guessed, he had just been in the underground research institute admiring his most elite scientists up close as they conducted research on the Cosmic Cube. This research had been going on in secret for some time, and while there were some results, they were far from what he had expected.
When he rushed back to the headquarters and saw the list of materials proposed by Luke that Hill placed on his desk, Nick Fury couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and his eyelids twitched several times.
It was indeed nuclear material. The amount required was not small. According to his estimation, it would be no problem to use these nuclear materials to make two small-yield nuclear bombs.
However, the list also included a lot of strange ingredients, some of which he had never even heard of.
"What does this little brat need so many rare elements for? Isn't he a mechanical engineering major? When did he start studying nuclear physics and chemistry? No, I have to ask for clarification."
So, the worried Nick Fury went to see Luke in person.
Luke proposed these materials, nominally wanting to buy them from S.H.I.E.L.D. He was not in a hurry to tell Nick Fury that he was there to borrow money, but to find investors.
According to Luke's understanding, Nick Fury was a very stingy person, and he valued money more than anything else.
To say that he was a wealthy man who knew that food and fuel were expensive was an understatement. In Luke's opinion, he was the biggest embezzler in human history. The International Security Council behind S.H.I.E.L.D. was screwed by Nick Fury.
S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to build an aerospace carrier? Sure. Countries raised 100 billion. Of that, at least 50 billion went into Nick Fury's personal pocket.
How many jet fighters did S.H.I.E.L.D. want? Sure. The Council allocated 10 billion. Luke was afraid less than one in ten actually got them. Nick Fury took a few and refurbished them, and got 10 billion.
If Luke didn't know what Nick Fury did with the money, he felt that anyone else would conclude that this guy was definitely a greedy old dragon, and a black dragon at that.
Nick Fury had quite a few large-scale projects in private, buying plots of land all over the world one after another and building various underground bunkers, island bases, and secret fortresses one after another.
Anyway, he had the most say in S.H.I.E.L.D., and where the money went, probably only he and Hill knew.
Luke was one of the few people who knew that Nick Fury was a big money sponsor.
...
He went out to meet Nick Fury wearing his SpongeBob slippers and was not even allowed into the house.
Recently, Luke's adoptive mother Helen often asked him why the teacher only came for one day and then stopped coming.
Luke didn't know that after Agent May failed to resign, she went to settle the score with the good old man Coulson. In recent days, she had been staying in the bureau and refusing to leave, saying that she was seriously ill.
He thought that because of what happened to Agent May that day, Nick Fury had given up on the idea of placing a tutor next to him.
Under the tree across the street from Luke's adoptive parents' house, where Coulson had seen Luke last time, Luke was seen wearing SpongeBob pajamas and SpongeBob slippers. He looked young and frail. It was hard to imagine that this was the apostle rumored to be clamoring for nuclear materials.
Luke was not at all surprised by the arrival of the boiled egg.
But he still pretended to be surprised: "Is there any problem with my list?" He looked so innocent that Nick Fury felt like he deserved a beating.
Nick Fury wanted to say that the problem was serious, but he held back. He didn't want to make the relationship between the two sides awkward, and he valued Luke's role in his Avengers plan. Recently, for some reason, he always had a bad feeling.
Nick Fury asked patiently: "What are you going to make?"
"Here." Luke threw over a piece of A4 paper.
Nick Fury took it and stared at it with one eye for a long time. He looked up and asked, "What is this?"
Luke rolled his eyes. He thought Fury understood it after looking at it for so long, but he was a little surprised to find out that he didn't understand anything.
He curled his lips, with undisguised contempt on his face, and said: "Standard thermonuclear fusion reactor core. This is a sketch."
"Standard..."
Nick Fury was not stupid. Although he was not a scientist, he knew what nuclear fusion was and what a reactor was. It went without saying what they were connected together.
"Thermonuclear fusion? You have this technology?" Nick Fury said with his mouth slightly opened in surprise.
Why did he study the Cosmic Cube? On the surface, it was to provide inexhaustible clean energy for future generations, but secretly, it was to develop powerful weapons.
Nuclear bombs are powerful enough, but nuclear fission causes serious pollution and everyone tries to avoid them, so they are destined to be unable to be used as conventional weapons.
Nuclear fusion is different. It is clean and pollution-free, energy-efficient, inexhaustible, and a foreseeable step in the ascent of civilization.
Nick didn't believe that Luke had mastered this technology.
