"Haha, Director Fury, you flatter me. These are just some insignificant trinkets, nothing compared to the advanced weapons developed by S.H.I.E.L.D."
Adam looked at Nick Fury's single eye and secretly activated Legilimency, instantly learning Nick Fury's purpose for seeking him out.
He had been wondering why Nick Fury, that cunning old fox, suddenly had time to chat with him.
It turned out he was interested in the Gate Keys he had made.
"Mr. Adam, you jest. Even if S.H.I.E.L.D. were to research this spatial transfer technology for another hundred years, it's not certain we'd be able to develop it.
I just don't know which Dr. under your command researched this. Was it Dr. Reed?"
Nick Fury said, probing with a smile.
Reed Richards, one of the World's most famous scientists, sometimes proposed ideas that were too fantastical, making them seem impossible to achieve.
This theory of quantum spatial transfer was one such idea.
He knew that Reed Richards was currently conducting various scientific research under Adam, and it was possible that he had refined this previously proposed concept.
If that were truly the case, he would have to consider how to poach him.
"No, it's just an application of one of my abilities. It's not a scientific product. I call it a Gate Key."
Adam didn't hide it, because there was no need. Moreover, if Nick Fury wanted to trick him, he also wanted to trick Nick Fury.
He picked up the nearby red wine glass and, with a wave of his hand, performed the Alchemy of the Gate Key on it.
"Alright, it's that simple. You can try it."
"Could this be…"
Nick Fury skeptically took the red wine glass. The next second, he appeared on the rooftop of the S.H.I.E.L.D. building.
"It really was something he made himself, and he completed it so easily!"
Standing on the rooftop of the S.H.I.E.L.D. building, looking at the red wine glass in his hand, his heart was in turmoil.
Because he found himself increasingly unable to see through Adam.
After being brought back to the wooden tower by Adam, Nick Fury said directly:
"Mr. Adam, to be honest with you, S.H.I.E.L.D. really needs these spatial transfer Gate Keys you've made.
Whatever the price, or whatever your conditions, you can name them."
Seeing Adam so easily demonstrate the process of making a Gate Key, Nick Fury realized that Adam had seen through his purpose for coming, and he no longer hid it.
Adam reached out, took back Nick Fury's Gate Key, and then smiled slightly:
"Director Fury is a straightforward man, so I won't waste any more time.
I'm not interested in anything S.H.I.E.L.D. has, and I certainly don't lack money. I want Gravity Chamber technology. It's that simple."
"Gravity technology, didn't I already give it all to you?"
Nick Fury was stunned on the spot.
Previously, in exchange for the Superheroes under Adam's command helping to eradicate HYDRA, he had given all the gravity technology controlled by the Skrulls to Adam.
Adam shrugged:
"But the Gravity Chamber technology you gave me can only produce a maximum of fifty times gravity."
"But I didn't hold anything back. The highest gravity technology we possess is only fifty times gravity."
Nick Fury replied, frowning.
He thought Adam suspected they had held back some gravity technology, but in reality, they hadn't.
Gravity technology was not of much use to S.H.I.E.L.D.; at most, it would allow S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Base in space to be unaffected by gravity.
Even the Skrulls and other highly advanced civilizations in the Universe only used gravity in this way.
So, at that time, he had indeed given all the gravity technology.
"I know you didn't hold anything back."
Adam smiled:
"But that doesn't mean you can't continue to research gravity technology. As long as you research new advancements in gravity technology, or find a way to increase gravity, I'm willing to exchange it for Gate Keys."
Indeed, his goal was very simple: to use Nick Fury to gather S.H.I.E.L.D.'s scientific research power, and the Skrulls' scientific research power, to help him break through the barriers of gravity technology.
He was planning ahead.
Although he could currently only train with a dozen times gravity, and the Gravity Chamber could go up to fifty times.
But fifty times gravity was only a matter of one or two years. If he didn't prepare in advance, he would only be able to maintain fifty times gravity in his training.
Moreover, even if Gate Keys were given to S.H.I.E.L.D., it wouldn't be a big deal for him.
Ever since he could freely control his transformation into a giant ape, S.H.I.E.L.D. was no longer a concern for him. Even if S.H.I.E.L.D. had Gate Keys, they couldn't threaten him.
Besides, the Gate Keys were made by him using Alchemy, so he could naturally leave some backdoors in them. If he wanted to, a Gate Key could sometimes become a timed bomb.
"That's not impossible."
Nick Fury considered Adam's condition and it seemed that, well, it wasn't a loss.
Were there many scientists in S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Of course, there were many. Not only those invited from various countries, but also those they had trained themselves, including those captured from HYDRA.
With a little more time, they could always achieve some results.
"Very good. To show my sincerity, I'll give you a pair of Gate Keys first."
Adam reached out, picked up another red wine glass, and quickly used Alchemy to refine it into a Gate Key, handing both to Nick Fury.
"These are two Gate Keys that can teleport to each other. No matter how far apart they are, activating one will immediately teleport you to the location of the other.
You can trigger the Gate Keys with a slight electric shock."
Gate Keys could be made from anything, even a dirty sock.
However, Gate Keys had many functions.
Some had a pre-set teleportation location, and no matter where one was, activating it would cause the Gate Key to transport them there.
Others were for fixed point-to-point teleportation, meaning after activation, the Gate Key remained in place, and the person was teleported to the location of the other Gate Key.
The impressive-looking large doors outside used point-to-point Gate Keys, while the red wine glass Gate Key he first made for Nick Fury had its teleportation coordinates pre-set to the rooftop of the S.H.I.E.L.D. building.
Now he had changed it to a point-to-point Gate Key.
Because Nick Fury had no magic, when refining the Gate Key, he specifically made some adjustments so that a slight electric shock could trigger the Gate Key's teleportation, just like magic.
"Mr. Adam, thank you so much! I'll immediately have people set up a special task force for gravity technology."
Nick Fury took the two red wine glasses, a rare smile appearing on his face.
He hadn't even done anything yet and had already received a pair of Gate Keys. In his opinion, he had truly hit the jackpot.
