Chapter 81

After learning from Liu Ruian that aliens were about to invade, Nick Fury's mind was no longer on the Cosmic Cube.

Come on, no matter how good the Cosmic Cube is, it's just a lifeless object.

Moreover, if the alien invasion succeeded, all of humanity would be doomed, and the Cosmic Cube would end up in their hands.

Considering the high credibility and danger of this information, Nick Fury had to entrust the task of entertaining someone to Phil Coulson and busied himself.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was overly solemn, except for a certain person.

Seeing the other party dressed in a very fashionable and appropriate casual outfit, even Phil Coulson knew that the other party must have other arrangements, but he couldn't help asking:

"Baron Angel, your equipment?"

"Equipment?" Liu Ruian looked down at his clothes and then suddenly realized, saying:

"Don't worry, Phil, it won't be a problem. Now, what we need to do is find that guy."

"Dr. Banner is already helping us look for him. Do you have any methods? Or does the Seer have any?"

"Methods? You're asking the wrong person." Liu Ruian spread his hands and shook his head, saying: "But I think that guy knows more."

Phil Coulson clearly knew who the other party was referring to and asked:

"You mean he knows more, but why doesn't he say it?"

"I asked him the same question, but he said that too much interference would cause changes in the future, which could lead to even more serious consequences," Liu Ruian defended himself.

Faced with this answer, Phil Coulson fell silent. Then, Captain America, Steve Rogers, spoke up:

"Does the Seer have any plans?"

"Plans?" Liu Ruian glanced at the other party and said: "I am his plan. By the way, I almost forgot."

Without giving the two people in front of him a chance to react, Liu Ruian disappeared with a "Biu~" sound.

It took less than two seconds. When Liu Ruian reappeared in the meeting room of the helicarrier, two large metal boxes were floating in the air in front of him.

"What are these?" Phil Coulson and Steve Rogers couldn't help but show a hint of curiosity as they looked at the floating boxes.

"I don't know either. I only know that one of these boxes is for the Captain. He said it's compensation for not being able to help fully last time."

As Liu Ruian spoke, one of the floating boxes drifted to Steve Rogers.

"Is this for me? What is it?" Steve Rogers asked, looking at the box in front of him.

"If you want to know what it is, it's simple. See the handprint on the box? Just place your hand on it," Liu Ruian pointed to the box and said.

If it were anyone else, Steve Rogers would definitely weigh the danger of doing so.

But he trusted this person a lot.

Not only had he saved his love, but if he really wanted to harm him or all of humanity, he wouldn't need to go through such trouble.

The very upright Steve Rogers, after examining the box in front of him for a while, shook his head and said:

"The Seer doesn't owe me anything. On the contrary, I owe him. I can't accept this compensation."

"Captain, I personally think you should take it. According to him, this compensation isn't just for you," Liu Ruian shrugged and smiled.

With Steve Rogers' intelligence, it was easy to connect this box with the alien invasion.

After confirming from the other party's expression that he wasn't joking, Captain America only hesitated for a moment before placing his hand on the handprint on the box.

"Uh... I think I forgot something?" Liu Ruian scratched the back of his head and muttered, loud enough for the three to hear.

Almost as soon as he spoke, the metal box floating in front of Steve Rogers suddenly collapsed into a mass of silvery-gray "mist," which then rushed toward him.

Trusting the other party, Captain America suppressed his instinctive reaction to danger and allowed the silvery-gray "mist" to envelop him.

Fortunately, this sudden change didn't last long, only about ten seconds. The seemingly unfriendly silvery-gray "mist" then solidified.

That's right, that's how it felt to the observer, Phil Coulson.

When the last bit of mist was completely absorbed into Steve Rogers' body, even the highly trained Phil Coulson couldn't help but be shocked by the "American Flag" that appeared.

Since it was in quotation marks, the "American Flag" was obviously not just a flag but a set of power armor with a star-spangled design.

Unlike the 'Thor's Hammer' power armor previously traded to S.H.I.E.L.D. (or more accurately, to Nick Fury), the power armor on Steve Rogers was not only cooler in design but also not as bulky.

Of course, this was relative. At least, the Captain's height increased significantly after putting on the power armor.

"This armor is really beautiful!"

Even though he already had a 'Thor's Hammer,' Phil Coulson couldn't help but show envy when he saw this power armor.

Liu Ruian, still sitting in the swivel chair, shamelessly praised himself:

"This power armor isn't just beautiful. Although the guy's character isn't great, the things he brings out never disappoint."

This statement was quickly confirmed by Steve Rogers, who was receiving the core information:

"That's right, this power armor is indeed very good."

"Captain, can you tell us the specifications of this power armor?" Phil Coulson couldn't help but ask, both out of personal interest and professional duty.

If Steve Rogers hadn't finished receiving the information from the power armor, he would likely have refused.

Even though Captain America wasn't a technical expert, he knew the value of the power armor he had just received.

After all, it was a gift, and it wouldn't be right to reveal its data without the owner's permission.

But after receiving the core information, Steve Rogers knew that the other party had anticipated S.H.I.E.L.D.'s questions and had given a positive response, so he said directly:

"This power armor is called the Patriot. It is made of Adamantium and carbon nanotube alloy, as strong as steel, extremely light, and can regenerate when damaged."

"The core AI is directly linked to my brain, making the armor as easy to use as my own body."

"As for the functions of the armor, there are many, for example..."

Captain America extended his right hand and made a grasping motion. The next moment, a military dagger appeared in his hand.

Well, the dagger didn't appear out of nowhere. The sharp-eyed Phil Coulson clearly saw that it was formed from the same silvery-gray "mist" as the power armor.

Considering the earlier mention of carbon nanotube alloy, even if Phil Coulson wasn't a technical expert, he could confirm that this silvery-gray "mist" was related to nanotechnology.

But the surprises didn't end there. After forming the military dagger, Steve Rogers' hand produced a gun, a very cool-looking assault rifle.

Even after connecting with the core AI of the power armor, Captain America had some understanding of its functions.

But when he saw the assault rifle appear, he couldn't help but pull out the magazine to check, and as expected, it was full of bullets.

However, these bullets were different from ordinary ones; they only had the bullet tip, no shell.

But Steve Rogers wasn't worried that this cool-looking assault rifle was just for show. It was a Gauss rifle powered by an electromagnetic acceleration rail, firing metal ammunition.

As for the ammunition, as long as there was metal in the environment, the power armor's nanofabrication system could achieve an almost infinite supply.

In fact, the real nanofabrication system wasn't limited to just manufacturing ammunition from external materials, but the Captain's version was a cut-down version.

After Phil Coulson learned some of the performance details of the "Patriot" power armor from Captain America, his first thought was that the other party had held back in the previous transaction.

His second thought was to get this 'Patriot' power armor to the agency for a thorough study. Even just the convenience of putting it on was enough to surpass the 'Thor's Hammer' series.

But then he thought, if Liu Ruian dared to bring out this power armor, he must have considered this.

Thinking of this, Phil Coulson's gaze couldn't help but fall on another metal box with a similar design, and he asked:

"Who is this box for?"

"Oh, this is for the green giant," Liu Ruian shrugged and said, placing the floating box on the ground.
