Chapter 39 Good News from the X-Men
"lay down your weapon!"

Just as Tony raised his palm cannon and aimed at Fury, Natasha and Coulson immediately took out their pistols and stood in front of Fury.

"Stark! What are you doing?"

Fury asked with a grim expression. He didn't understand where Tony's hostility towards him came from at this moment.

Could it be that the video Tony watched contained something unfavorable to SHIELD?

But this is impossible. Over the years since Howard's death, SHIELD has analyzed the footage frame by frame countless times. Apart from giving Tony advice and hoping that he can eventually realize the research on new elements, no other information has been deciphered.

Moreover, at that time, SHIELD had just begun to build its framework, and Howard would not have such a strong resentment towards SHIELD that he would leave certain content in a way that perhaps only the Stark family could understand, thereby intensifying the conflict between Tony and SHIELD.

This is so unrealistic.

Could it be that the video was taken by mistake? The one Tony saw was not Howard's?
Countless speculations emerged in Fury's mind, but in the end they were all overturned one by one.

"You ask me what I'm doing? This is the relic my father left me, and you hid it secretly. I didn't know about it until today! Nick Fury, what do you think I'm doing now?"

Tony said indignantly.

"It is very likely that there is important information about a new element hidden in it, and no one has been able to decipher this information so far. If it is accidentally lost..."

Fury was halfway through his sentence when Tony rudely interrupted him.

"Stop talking about how this is to prevent people with ulterior motives from mastering the new element technology! It's obvious that it's you, SHIELD, who are trying to take the new element for yourself, but it's a pity that your scientists are too low-level to produce it."

Tony sneered.

"Why else would you be willing to return the things to me now? To save my life? That sounds better than anything else! If you really cared about Stark's life or death, you should have saved my parents in the first place!"

"If you showed me this video without me knowing anything, I might really thank you from the bottom of my heart. Oh no, not maybe, but definitely."

Hearing this, Fury narrowed his eyes. What Tony said just now hit the point.

He obviously knew in advance that Howard had discovered the new element, and had carefully thought about the details. At least he was very sure that Howard himself did not want the news of the new element to be buried, otherwise Tony would not have reacted the way he did now.

Osborne!
The point at which Tony's attitude changed was the short period of time when he went to Osborn Group. It could only be that Osborn told Tony about the new element.

Even though Fury had just emphasized to Tony that Osborn was spreading rumors about S.H.I.E.L.D., he didn't think Harry really knew the inside story of the new element.

After all, the connection between the Strategic Scientific Corps and SHIELD is there. Since Harry has already dealt with SHIELD and even captured an agent, it is not difficult for him to find out that history.

Deliberately inducing Tony to be hostile to SHIELD can also be explained by the previous conflict with Mockingbird. Although this will make Harry appear to be a petty person, it is at least logical.

Now, Fury realized that things were definitely not as simple as he thought.

The information Harry knew was far beyond what he should know!
"Stark, what did Harry Osborn tell you?"

Fury asked Tony with a serious expression. He ignored the palm cannon aimed at him, as if he was sure that Tony would not really attack him.

"Ha! I knew you would come up with a conspiracy theory, suspecting that a child under the age of 20 had learned the secrets of SHIELD through some unknown means... I'm sorry, Harry was able to tell me about the new element only because he has a smart brain!"

Tony sneered disdainfully. "Now! Get out of my building, and don't let me see anyone from SHIELD again... or I'll blow you to pieces right here!"

At this moment, the palm cannon raised by Tony began to glow, and Coulson and Natasha immediately tensed their bodies as if facing a great enemy.

Coulson quietly glanced at the dumbfounded Pepper and gave her a look, wanting her to help speak.

Unexpectedly, Pepper's face suddenly changed, and she stared at Coulson and the others seriously and said, "Although I don't quite understand what you were talking about just now, there is one thing that is absolutely correct, that is, you shouldn't have taken Tony's father's relics without permission, and you didn't let Tony know!"

"So, Phil...Agent Coulson, please get out of here."

"Natasha, Coulson, let's go."

Fury said with a dark face as if he had eaten a fly, and left Stark Tower with two of his subordinates.

After they left, Tony talked to Pepper for a while, and then began to prepare for the experiment of synthesizing new elements.

Soon, several more days passed.

While Tony was devoting himself to the new element, Harry was not idle either.

While continuing to manufacture smart weapons on a small scale, he also made several RK800s.

However, compared to the effort poured into the prototype Connor, the performance of these RK800s is slightly weaker, but of course they are still much stronger than the bionic people sold to the outside world.

Since they are going to form an armed force of bionic men, it certainly cannot be just Connor, and it is even more impossible for every bionic man to be manufactured according to Connor's specifications.

So Harry cut off some of Connor's performance and used him as a soldier in the army.

Each soldier is equipped with a complete set of intelligent weapons, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

As for why Harry produced several RK800s in succession and the blue-blood resources, which have always been in short supply, have not been exhausted, it is naturally because good news from the X-Men has come from Greenland.

Beast and other mutants discovered a large niobium mine in Greenland. Preliminary estimates show that it can meet at least 50 years of mining needs, and the actual reserves will only be more than expected.

After receiving the news, Harry immediately sent people to build a mine. With the presence of Iceman and Qian Huan, the harsh local environment was improved a lot, making mining work much more convenient.

Although the only issue that can be improved is the geographical environment, the temperature cannot be changed, and the mining efficiency is much lower than in a normal environment, but being able to mine in Greenland is already a victory.

To date, apart from the Osborne Group, no mining activities of this magnitude have ever taken place within the Arctic Circle, at least not in public.

It is worth mentioning that some time ago, when an exploration team was teleported back to the landing point by the Night Walker, due to a slight deviation in the distance estimation, they were teleported to another place not far from the landing point.

What’s more interesting is that they found that there was also a landing point there with many traces of human activities.

Most of these traces were buried under the ice and snow. If it weren't for the mutants with extraordinary sensory abilities, they would definitely not be able to discover them.

Based on these traces, Beast and others found the wreckage of an airplane that crashed here during World War II, which was also full of traces of human activities.

There were even two large blocks of ice frozen in the cabin that were cut off and taken away, leaving only two huge gaps.
