Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 164: The Next Goal (Third Update)

Yes, Lena.

After Luca's meticulous interrogation, he had roughly figured out the other party's background.

As a Hydra researcher, the reason he went to Orange Corporation to pretend to be a secretary was simply to follow Clairvoyant's orders and find an opportunity to steal Luca's research results.

However, even his superior, Clairvoyant, was almost scapegoated and killed because of the spies planted by Strucker.

Currently, Reina is hardly cared about by anyone within Hydra, the organization of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In fact, Rena was not the kind of person who was absolutely loyal to Hydra. The only reason she got involved with Hydra was to gain superpowers and become an 'angel'.

Uh, that's right.

In Lena's mind, superpowers are a gift from heaven, and her lifelong pursuit is to obtain this gift from heaven herself.

However, in the original story, she was rather unlucky. The superpower she eventually gained turned her into an ugly hedgehog woman, and she almost lost her Dao heart because of it.

Lena is currently in the early stages of pursuing superpowers. Previously, she was mainly in charge of the 'Centipede Warrior' project within Hydra, which involved fusing the Extremis virus into human bodies.

This was somewhat similar to Dr. Lister's research topic, so Luca decided to leave her in Sokovia to handle the company's operations while assisting Dr. Lister in his research on developing superpowers.

I almost forgot, Dr. Lister was actually quite an interesting person.

Similar to Lena, she joined Hydra in order to have enough resources to complete her research project.

In fact, even before Luca arrived in Sokovia, he had already vaguely sensed that Baron Strucker had been controlled.

He doesn't care who he works for; as long as he has enough resources, he can ignore everything else.

The reason I fawned over Luca at the airport was simply to gain more research and development support from Luca, who was in a position of power and could control Baron Strucker.

Now, naturally, he's continuing his previous research with Lena.

'These two's research areas might overlap to some extent with Yuri Technology later on.'

It was precisely because of this that Luca did not choose to eliminate these two promising talents directly.

Luca doesn't currently plan to get too involved in biological research, as human energy is limited. However, if he could gather enough '5/5' of a certain biotechnology world to directly enter and study, Luca would naturally not refuse.

However, for now, his studies in the real world will still focus on electromechanical engineering.

In the fields of biology, medicine, human anatomy, and genetics, we currently have Shirley, Baymax, and Dr. Lister, which is more than enough.

"After I leave, don't rush to conduct experiments on the Maxinov siblings. Human experiments are not urgent either. Later, I may be able to give you some information on this as a reference. Report the progress of the experiments to me at any time. Don't be too radical."

As Luca prepared to leave Sokovia Airport, he gave some instructions to Lister and Reina.

These crazy scientists, especially those in biology, are always looking for ways to conduct human experiments.

If he accidentally causes himself some big trouble, and something happens to Sokovia, Luca will have nowhere to turn to for help.

Meanwhile, on Baron Zemo's side, the previously agreed-upon cooperation has begun to move forward.

With policy support and public opinion guidance, these Sokovian natives have gradually shown their sincerity. However, in their eyes, the cooperation with Luca is still in a secretive stage and is not suitable to be exposed to Hydra at present.

Therefore, since Luca and Baron Zemo's last conversation, the two have had no public contact.

As for Baron Strucker, he has been replaced by a new robot created by Luca. Although his original body is still under control, it has been secretly imprisoned. Luca naturally doesn't need to explain anything to him anymore.

'Once we get back, we still need to get the blueprints for the folding base sorted out first; otherwise, who knows when we'll be able to start synthesizing the base vehicle.'

In fact, of all the 'synthetic consumables' for the [Yuri base vehicle], this is the only one that is relatively troublesome.

Other things like production lines, robotic arms, and signal towers can be built at any time.

Even a seemingly impressive bio-powered generator, given Luca's exploration of the cheat system, could probably pass the cheat system's assessment by creating something like a waste-to-energy generator or a microbial power generator.

Regardless of the power generation efficiency, as long as the specifications are sufficient, the synthesis criteria for the Goldfinger do not take this into account.

The only problem is the 'folding industrial base'. There are no readily available references for this, and most people are unlikely to even think about researching such a bizarre thing.

Luca had to design it from scratch himself, and then give the design to Sokovia to arrange for people to try to build it.

'But this is also good; building such a large deformable device can be considered as preparing the technological foundation for the deformable framework needed for the synthetic spacecraft.'

Luca has not forgotten that he still has a cornerstone for reaching the stars and the sea.

After settling everything here, Luca set off again to return to New York.

However, after returning to New York this time, Luca is not going to settle down and develop peacefully. This time, he plans to make some small moves.

Inside the Orange family villa.

At this moment, Luca was sitting in front of his computer, reviewing information he had obtained from within Hydra.

In fact, it was the Centipede Project, in which Lena was involved, that reminded Luca that he had almost forgotten there was such a good opportunity for the Orange Group to get involved in politics.

Looking at the detailed images and data before him, not only Luca himself, but also the artificial intelligence Hakimi was helping him filter and analyze this intelligence information.

"I didn't expect that even Hammer Industries would get involved? That woman is really a troublemaker."

"What is this? An Iron Man villain alliance?"

"However, what does Hammer Industries have right now? Just those meager connections?"

In Hydra's eyes, Hammer Industries is now merely a somewhat useful peripheral partner, and naturally, it is not highly valued by the leaders of Hydra.

However, Luca never expected that Justin Hammer would actually get involved with Pioneer Technology.

Indeed, the information Luca is currently reviewing is from another peripheral company that collaborates with Hydra.

That is, the villainous company that developed the Extremis virus in Iron Man 3.

AIM (Pioneer Technology).
