The method to stop self-defense was found, but the problem was who would press the button.
Currently, most spaceships, upon being approached within a certain distance, would indiscriminately unleash laser attacks.
Scientists had tried various methods.
Small robots, drones, and high-tech remote-controlled vehicles.
All were reduced to fragments by the lasers.
In desperation, there was even a radical suggestion to fire a shot directly at the button.
But this plan was immediately rejected.
It was a truly deranged proposal.
For alien technology possessing such a powerful self-defense system, one would fire a shot at it?
It was likely that the self-defense system would then transform into an indiscriminate slaughter system!
It could be said that every conceivable method had been exhausted.
The power of the lasers far surpassed the peak levels of Blue Star.
Even the most advanced armored weapons were penetrated by the lasers.
In his helplessness, Zheng Xian wanted to purchase some vibranium to forge a shield to see if it could withstand the lasers.
If it could, then someone could simply go and press the square button while holding the shield.
However, after a series of negotiations, S.H.I.E.L.D. refused to sell them vibranium.
The reason given was that their stock was too low. If the Shen Mao Bureau truly wished to purchase, they could only buy 100 grams, and the price would be extremely exorbitant.
Looking at the long string of zeros after the number one, with the unit being US dollars, Zheng Xian decisively abandoned this plan.
At this point, it seemed there were no workable solutions left.
But such a massive alien treasure lay before them, who could resist such temptation?
In the dictionary of Easterners, there was no word for "give up"!
Finally, after discussions among the high-ranking officials of the Shen Mao Bureau, they decided to hire a S.H.I.E.L.D. superhero to help them press that button.
It wasn't that they didn't have superheroes themselves, but in the face of this spaceship with incomprehensible technological prowess, their own weren't quite enough!
At this point, they could no longer afford to keep the spaceship hidden from certain individuals.
If the spaceship couldn't be opened, it would hold no value.
Only an opened spaceship would generate value!
For this, there were three suitable candidates.
The first one that came to mind was the renowned Superman.
After all, Superman was arguably the most powerful superhero in the world.
His battle in New York was witnessed by the entire world. In ancient Eastern terms, he possessed the strength to move mountains and fill seas.
But unfortunately, firstly, Lin Feng did not answer to S.H.I.E.L.D., and at that time, Lin Feng wasn't even on Blue Star!
So, the Shen Mao Bureau reluctantly settled for the second choice, Iron Man – Tony Stark.
Tony Stark's research capabilities were also well-known.
At the very least, no organization in the world could replicate his continuously updated Iron Man suit.
But Tony directly refused the request. The reason was unknown; he merely perfunctorily said he didn't have time.
In the end, the Shen Mao Bureau could only select the last backup candidate.
That was the newly emerged speedster superhero – Pietro.
According to their scientists' calculations, Pietro's speed, while not necessarily faster than the spaceship's lasers, could evade the laser targeting systems without any pressure.
As long as it couldn't lock on, it couldn't hit Pietro!
Fortunately, Pietro belonged to S.H.I.E.L.D. and didn't have that much say.
Soon, Pietro was dispatched to the Shen Mao Bureau to assist them in this mission.
But if nothing unexpected happened, something unexpected would happen…
Pietro perfectly dodged the laser targeting systems.
And amidst everyone's expectant gazes, he successfully pressed the square button on the exterior of the spaceship.
However, after the button was pressed, the spaceship did not, as the "experts" had predicted, shut down its self-defense system.
Instead, as if going mad, the moment the button was pressed, the spaceship unleashed a powerful shockwave.
That shockwave directly impacted the entire underground space, forming a semi-transparent white energy shield that enveloped the entire area.
And Pietro, along with the two backup superheroes who were to receive him, instantly vanished from their positions.
Yes! They vanished on the spot!
This scene completely stunned Zheng Xian!
The situation was vastly different from what the "experts" had predicted.
Not only was the borrowed Pietro missing, but even two of their own superheroes had disappeared.
The entire Shen Mao Bureau was in disarray.
Even more outrageous was that once the protective shield deployed, even cannons couldn't break it!
In their panic, all sorts of weapons and tools were directed at the shield.
But no matter what method was used, the shield stubbornly refused to show even a "wound" the size of a needle tip…
The situation thus entered a stalemate.
And to make matters worse.
Just moments ago, S.H.I.E.L.D. had called, stating they couldn't contact Pietro.
Zheng Xian broke out in a cold sweat. He struggled to utter a single coherent word.
He didn't know how to explain that their superhero had disappeared.
That would be an absolute disaster, as every superhero was an extremely important asset.
He could already imagine Nick Fury arriving with the Helicarrier to demand an explanation.
Of course, Fury probably wouldn't be that aggressive…
In his haste, Zheng Xian explained the current general situation, without explicitly stating Pietro's disappearance, but rather that the mission was in progress.
However, Black Nick wasn't easily fooled. He directly stated that he would send personnel to understand the situation and instructed Zheng Xian to receive them, as they would arrive shortly.
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Xian stared blankly at the humanoid object rapidly approaching on the screen before him…
Before he could even wipe away the cold sweat, he saw Lin Feng descending from the sky.
There was no alternative. Zheng Xian, bracing himself, led two subordinates to meet him…
Meanwhile, Lin Feng, having received the address from Black Nick, flew directly over.
From a distance, he saw the massive circular aerial base suspended in the air.
He remembered that the base had a very straightforward and blunt name: The Circle…
At the same time, he couldn't help but mutter, why did these organizations like to make their bases fly? Wasn't that just a moving target…
Landing steadily on The Circle, Lin Feng saw three people approaching him.
One in front and two behind, the leader was likely a high-ranking official.
All three had black hair and black eyes.
Seeing this, Lin Feng's eyes flashed, and he felt a sense of kinship.
Fellow countrymen!
Since arriving in the Marvel universe, he had rarely encountered fellow countrymen.
One reason was that he himself was an Eastern transmigration from beyond the fourth wall, and he hadn't consciously sought out others like him.
The second was that this was the Marvel universe, and Lin Feng instinctively focused his attention entirely on the main Marvel storyline.
To be honest, Lin Feng didn't feel much sense of belonging to this Marvel world. Perhaps only the East before his transmigration was his true homeland!
The three Easterners walked up to Lin Feng and extended their hands, greeting him politely.
"hello?"
Huh?
As soon as they spoke, Lin Feng recoiled slightly…
He fell silent for a moment, seeing the embarrassed realization dawning on the faces of his countrymen…
"Hello, I'm Lin Feng…"
Lin Feng also extended his hand and shook hands with the leading countryman.
As he opened his mouth, his authentic Chinese made the countryman even more embarrassed.
