Marvel starts with Drive as a Knight

"Insight Project Bay, identification, Steve Rogers does not have access to this project."

Nick Fury walked aside and spoke.

"Authorized by the Director, Nicholas J. Fury."

"Voice recognition completed, authorization successful."

After obtaining authorization, the elevator started to move.

As the elevator slowly descended, Steve looked outside dully. Everywhere were tall buildings made of reinforced concrete. At first glance, they might seem full of modernity, but after looking at them for a long time, they would become a bit boring.

"In the past, music would be played in elevators."

Nick Fury answered.

"Yes, my grandfather worked as an elevator attendant for forty years. He worked in a pretty good place and received a lot of money every day. When he came home every day, his lunch bag was full of change. He greeted others and they would greet him back."

Steve nodded. The era Nick Fury described was very close to the era in which Steve lived.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a little, Nick Fury continued.

"It's a pity that later on, when he said hi to others in the Japanese era, they would just say cut the fucking crap. And he had to protect his lunch bag."

Steve frowned at this.

"Has he ever been robbed?"

Nick Fury snorted at this question.

"Almost every week some of the punks would come up to him and ask, hey, what's in your bag?"

"So how did he do it?"

Nick Fury said as a matter of course.

"Of course I showed them. Inside the bag was a bunch of worn-out one-dollar bills and a loaded .0.22 caliber Magnum."

Then Nick Fury said again.

"My grandpa likes to make friends with others, but he just doesn't trust others so easily."

As they were talking, the elevator had already reached the bottom floor of the SHIELD headquarters.

The elevator door slowly opened, and a huge underground factory appeared in front of Steve, among which three huge sky carriers were extremely eye-catching.

Steve looked surprised when he saw these big guys.

Nick Fury laughed at Steve's reaction.

"Well, I admit, this is much bigger than the Magnum. At least it can't fit into the lunch bag."

Under the guidance of Nick Fury, Steve visited this huge underground factory. The aerial carrier was covered with weapons and equipment. At the same time, on the other side of the factory, there were many carrier-based fighter jets, and mechanics were busy shuttling between these behemoths.

"What you are seeing now is Project Insight, which consists of three new-generation air carriers and countless carrier-based fighters. The air carrier that you Avengers first assembled on is already a product of the old generation."

Nick Fury introduced him to Steve with great pride.

"These three carriers are synchronized with the satellites, and all their functions are far superior to the previous generation of aerial carriers."

Satellite? Steve suddenly realized that the ship he had taken to a long time ago was a mobile satellite launch platform.

"The satellites you are talking about are the ones that the Lemuria launched into space."

Nick Fury nodded.

"That's right. Once these three airborne carriers are launched, they will not need to return to the ground. This is because they are equipped with brand new engines that are sufficient for them to carry out suborbital flights."

"Did Stark design these?"

"Yes, remember the incident when our aircraft carrier's engine was damaged? At that time, he looked at our engine and said it was too outdated. I have to admit that he is a genius. He designed a new generation of engine after just a few minutes of observation."

...

Just as Nick Fury was taking Steve on a tour of Project Insight, Sidwell met Alexander Pierce.

"Sir, I successfully brought the things back."

Sidwell said, placing a chip on the table in front of Pierce.

Pierce looked at Sidwell and spoke.

"Thank you for your hard work. I've heard about your situation. I almost put you in danger. I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."

Sidwell said, flattered that Pierce actually cared about his comfort.

"It's okay. It's all for Hydra."

Pierce nodded with satisfaction and picked up the chip on the table.

"As long as we have this, then we can realize our Hydra hegemony."

Sidwell said with some concern.

"Just sir, I just saw Nick Fury taking Steve to the Insight Project. Will there be any accidents?"

Pierce smiled and waved his hand.

"Accident? Don't worry, the air carrier and the like don't matter anymore. This is the key point."

As he spoke, he shook the chip in his hand.

Chapter 497: Steve's Confusion

In the underground factory of S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury was still introducing his proud Insight Project to Steve.

"See these weapons? They have superb accuracy and can easily kill a thousand people in a minute. Those terrorists don't even need to be on the ground, satellites in the sky can read their DNA."

Nick Fury said to Steve quite proudly.

"We can nip those dangers in the bud."

But Steve frowned.

"But people should be punished only after they have done bad things and become bad people."

"We can't wait until something happens before we act, because then it will be too late."

Steve hit on a key word.

"You just said we? Who are they?"

Nick Fury did not hide anything and spoke frankly.

“After the New York incident, we saw that there are still many existences in this universe that can threaten us, but we are not even able to solve our own internal problems.

Finally, I convinced the World Security Council that we had gone through a quantum-level sophisticated threat analysis and that we were far ahead this time.”

Steve was very dissatisfied with what Nick Fury said and the so-called World Security Council.

"You point guns at all of humanity and say I'm protecting you? Do you think this can be called protection?"

However, in response to Steve's question, Nick Fury spoke directly.

"After I took over as director of SHIELD, I read a lot of documents from the Strategic Scientific Corps. You're called the greatest generation, right? You've done no less shameful things than we have."

The Strategic Scientific Corps, this is the department that Steve, Howard Stark, Agent Carter and others worked in after he was injected with the super soldier serum, and they were responsible for handling some special tasks.

However, Steve did not feel the slightest bit, instead he looked directly into Nick Fury's eyes.

“Yes, we have compromised in order to achieve our goals.

Sometimes we even couldn’t sleep at night because of this. But at that time our goal was for the freedom of all mankind, and what you are doing is not called freedom, but fear.”

"We at SHIELD have accepted this world instead of changing it according to our own wishes. Compared to the threats we may face, we have made enough concessions. Captain, don't you think it's too late for you to say this now?"

Looking at Nick Fury's attitude, Steve shook his head.

"I may be a little behind the times, but I'm not optimistic about your plan. It's best not to get your hopes up too much."

Then he turned around and prepared to leave.

Nick Fury looked at the captain's departing back and suddenly spoke.

"Captain, once Project Insight is launched, perhaps we can talk about the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D."

Steve understood clearly what Nick Fury meant. When the Insight Project is launched, you superheroes may not be needed anymore.

However, Steve did not look back, but continued to walk outside and left a word.

"Call me Steve Rogers."

...

When Steve walked out of the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters building, he had taken off his ridiculous clothes and changed into his casual clothes.

Riding a motorcycle towards the distance, Steve felt a little confused. He wanted to adapt to this era, but he always felt that he was somewhat out of tune with it.

Perhaps it was because he was still carrying around baggage from the past, and after reading S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Insight Project, he felt that perhaps it was time for him to let go of these baggage.

It would be nice to let Captain America sleep in the museum. Maybe in that way I can truly integrate into this era.

But if he is no longer that super soldier, what can an old antique like him do in this era?

Riding the motorcycle, Steve moved forward. He didn't know where he was going, but he knew that he didn't want to stop here.

They walked along until Steve finally stopped when he saw a museum.

This turned out to be a World War II Memorial Museum. Steve parked the car on the side of the road and walked into the museum.

"Welcome to the Smithsonian, home to..."

As I walked into the museum, the sound of the museum's loudspeakers came from the ceiling.

Entering the main exhibition hall, various old objects are displayed in the display cabinets. Ordinary people will find it very novel when they come here because they can see many interesting designs.

However, Steve felt like he had returned home.

He soon discovered that this was not just a World War II Memorial Museum, but also a Captain America Memorial Center.

On one side of the museum, there are two giant Captain America commemorative posters, and a documentary related to Captain America is playing nearby.

There are even words written by the President himself, as if he is trying to make Captain America a national role model.

This made Steve feel like he was back in the propaganda team, when he also dressed in funny clothes and performed everywhere to attract people to buy bonds.

But now I don’t need to perform everywhere anymore.

Watching all this, Steve lowered the brim of his hat and walked quickly through the corridor.

The loudspeakers were still promoting Captain America's great achievements and saying how great he was.

However, in Steve's eyes, he was always just an ordinary soldier, just a little stronger than others.

Passing through the corridor filled with promotional posters, Steve came to Exhibition Hall No. 2, where he saw a photo of himself before being injected with the super serum.

At that time, I was still so thin and looked frail.

Suddenly he seemed to feel that someone was watching him. Turning around, he saw a thin little man standing next to the display case, staring at him. From time to time, he would look back at the captain's portrait in the display case, and then open his mouth as if he had discovered some incredible secret.

Steve looked at the little boy and smiled slightly, then put a finger to his lips.

"Shh, don't make any noise, OK?"

The little boy covered his mouth and nodded sharply.

Continuing forward, he saw more of his past. For others, that was just a past history, but for Steve, those were all personal experiences.

After walking for a while, he stopped in front of a booth, because the portrait hanging in the booth was of his best friend, Bucky Barnes.

Looking at that familiar face, Steve couldn't help but stop and stare, as if the past experiences were replaying before his eyes again.

"What's wrong, has this gentleman remembered something? I guess you are missing your friend, right?"

Suddenly, a strange voice sounded, and an Asian young man in a black suit and magenta tie came to his side at some point.

Chapter 498: Brother Xiao Ming’s Plan

Steve looked at this sociable guy with some confusion. It was clearly forbidden to eat in this museum, and even food was not allowed to be brought in, but he got a hot dog from somewhere and was chewing on it, and he seemed to be eating it with great relish.

"I did remember some things, but who are you?"

Brother Xiao Ming finished the remaining hot dog in a few bites and wiped his hands.

"Don't worry about it. I'm just a tourist passing by. I saw you standing here alone, staring at the people in the painting, so I couldn't help but come up to talk to you."
