Chapter 2970 The green trees are dense and the summer is long (4)
When the Robins returned from their trip, Schiller felt that he had to entertain the guests, but obviously the old butler missed his children more and must have prepared a large table of dishes, so Schiller decided to take the young people of the new warrior team with him
Head to Wayne Manor for a banquet.
Although it was a banquet, it was just a family gathering, and there was no need to dress up too grandly. Robert never wore a uniform, but just changed into a clean sportswear. Helen dressed up a little, not wearing short-sleeved shorts, but
A cute blue suspender skirt with a bow on top of her ponytail.
Robert said with some disgust: "You are pretending to be cute again."
"You mind me." Helen rolled her eyes and said, "No matter where you are, an old butler who can independently manage a huge estate must be a powerful person. If we can handle him, the trouble will be goodbye to us."
The squirrel girl is combing her big tail with a comb. She is a little worried that she will lose hair when she has a guest. The Thrush is cleaning his leather shoes. He is dressed more formally, with suit pants and a shirt. The fungus is similar to Robert, both wearing loose clothes.
Clean sportswear.
Schiller went upstairs and changed his clothes - almost as if he didn't change, he was still in the same black suit.
After the fog disappeared, Schiller couldn't adjust the temperature as he wished, and the weather was very hot. He actually didn't want to wear a suit, but Gotham University had a dress code for faculty and staff. Regardless of the temperature, dark suits and ties were required.
It comes with leather shoes, so this is the only way Schiller can wear it.
It's not evening yet. The reason why everyone is packing up is that Schiller has a class in the afternoon and others want to visit Gotham University, so they plan to go to Gotham University together, and then go to Wayne Manor together in the evening.
Came back to change clothes.
Schiller opened the garage door, got in the car and immediately turned the air conditioner to the lowest setting. Helen climbed into the passenger seat and shivered from the air conditioner.
Schiller said while starting the car: "There is a blanket in the back seat. You'd better wrap it up quickly, otherwise you will become the first Doomsday in the multiverse to catch a cold."
Squirrel Girl handed the blanket to Helen, who immediately wrapped herself up tightly. As soon as the garage door opened, everyone felt like they had been hit by a flash bomb, blinded by the too bright sunshine at noon.
Schiller put down the visor and gradually drove out of the community. Helen looked at everything that was new and interesting. She asked about this and that.
But it is obvious that there are no fairy tales in this city. Schiller's introduction to each building almost starts from the fact that this place was destroyed by some disaster and ends with the reconstruction after some disaster. It is simply sad for the listener.
Those who heard it cried.
When Helen asked him to talk about other things, there were even more ghost stories. The history of every landmark building can be said to be a special case of major cases. The works of serial killers are often found in museums, churches, and art galleries.
Every bank has experienced dozens of major robberies, every shopping mall has suffered terrorist attacks, and every street has traces of gang wars...
By the time they arrived at Gotham University, several people had decided to seriously consider the possibility of causing trouble for Williams.
While waiting for the elevator in the underground garage, Schiller said: "You don't have to worry too much, Williams is not a local, and even locals rarely can fight against so many superpowers..."
"So it's still there?"
Schiller did not deny it. After walking into the elevator, he said: "Yes, there are, and they are mainly concentrated in Gotham University, so you'd better be honest. I don't want to see you hanging in the lobby."
"When does your class start?" Robert asked: "What grades are you teaching? What is the main topic? Can we go and observe?"
"There is a basic class at two o'clock, which teaches criminal psychology to junior students. There is a group meeting for graduate students from three to five o'clock. After five o'clock, I go back to the office to prepare lessons. I get off work around seven o'clock."
"You can audit the basic classes, and you don't have to attend the group meetings. You are not writing papers anyway. The school has recently built many new laboratories and a science and technology museum. You can go there for a walk."
The elevator stopped and as soon as Schiller walked out, Victor came over and said, "You are finally here. Are the classes full this afternoon?"
"There are no classes after five o'clock, but I have to prepare for next week's classes, and I still have a few graduate students' papers to read. What's wrong?"
"I have adjusted the formula of dense ice to make a small portable cooling device. I want you to help me test it."
"Where's Nora? Isn't she here?"
"She has heat stroke." Victor said helplessly, "I have told you before that you can't dry clothes outdoors in this kind of weather. She thought it would be fine if she went out for a few minutes, but she got heat stroke when she came back. She asked for leave today."
"Are you okay?" Schiller said with some concern: "It's hard for me to imagine that a cryogenic scientist's wife would have heatstroke at home."
"I get a headache when I talk about this. I have told countless people recently that cryogenic scientists don't care about the temperature, but no one believes it." Victor sighed and said, "That's why I decided to break through myself and take care of this damn thing."
The weather!”
At this time he saw Helen, he squatted down very happily, touched Helen's face and said: "Is this the little girl from your relative's family you mentioned? How old are you this year? Where are you from?"
"Seven years old, Asgardian."
"Don't listen to her nonsense, she was seven years old last year." Robert revealed mercilessly: "In ten years, she will still be seven years old."
"What? Do you have any objections to the way Asgardians record their age?" Helen turned back and rolled her eyes at him.
Schiller said to them: "The classroom where I teach is in A213. You can go there first. I have to go to the office to get something."
A few people nodded and left. Schiller and Victor walked to the office together. The topic still couldn't be separated from the recent hot topics, which were the ridiculously high temperature and Roy's condition.
"Everyone knows that he is going to be promoted, so they are all eyeing the position of mayor. We advise him to stay for another term, but this problem must be solved."
"What did Cobot say?"
"He only told James that there is nothing he can do about the situation in Gotham now, so even if he takes over, all he can do is maintain the status quo, and everything will have to wait until Bruce comes back."
"Managing a city is not that simple." Schiller sighed and said, "Especially in a city like Gotham, which is full of awkward situations. There are too many problems. Copot's mother has a lung problem, and we can't force others to do anything."
Victor nodded and said, "Indeed, did Bruce say when he would come back?"
"I think it's soon." Schiller said with a slight frown.
"I hope he can bring us good news."
Schiller actually thought much more than he said. Gotham itself is an imaginary city set in comics. As we all know, comics can show their imagination as much as they want, so the setting of Gotham is a patchwork.
Depending on the era, it has gone through many reforms, and in many cases the officially released map version does not count.
It’s strange that such a virtual city has no problem in reality, especially since Schiller and others did not continue the dark setting in the comics, but forcibly saved the city, which led to the fictional setting of various conflicts and conflicts.
All are revealed.
For example, because there is a problem with rain in Gotham in the comics, the impact of rain on plants is actually greater than on animals. In order to be logical, the editors can only follow this idea and say that there is no greenery in Gotham.
After Gotham saw the sun again, the lack of greening became a big problem, seriously affecting the city's temperature and causing inconvenience to people's lives.
But the real world is not like a comic book. Just jump to the scene and it will be green and full of life. The impact of ordinary shrubs and vines is far less than that of green space and trees, and potted plants are even more useless.
If you want to plant trees, you must have land, otherwise it will be useless even if the green of all things comes, but because the setting of Gotham is full of high-rise buildings and cyberpunk, there is no extra land for planting trees, so this becomes a
An unsolvable problem.
The only solution for now is to adopt some more comical methods, which is to directly install air conditioning in the whole city like when Gotham was frozen. The dense ice at that time could lower the temperature of the whole city by more than ten degrees. Now, although the dense ice in the cold storage has been upgraded
, but it’s not impossible to use some old versions buried underground to make Gotham’s “ground cold”.
This requires complex design and precision manufacturing to ensure that the city's temperature can be accurately adjusted. Schiller has no doubt that Victor has such technical capabilities, but all the above problems come down to one word - money.
Everyone is waiting for Bruce to come back, not because they really expect him to come up with any amazing technology. The technology is there and the people are there. The solution is not that difficult to come up with. The biggest problem is the lack of money.
With Roy in his position, the city government has no money. If Cobot were to come in, the city government would also have no money. If it were to replace those cats and dogs sent by the state assembly, the city government would not only have no money, but I'm afraid it would go bankrupt.
This is why everyone, including James Gordon, is insinuating Bruce's whereabouts to Schiller, because all the difficulties Gotham is facing now are actually money difficulties. Everything is easier to do with money. The new cryogenics in the West End
When the factory reaches full production capacity, it is even possible to use dense ice to lay a floor in Gotham, and the temperature problem will naturally be solved.
But now, the money problem is not only plaguing Gotham but also the United States and the whole world. There is no money all over the world. Who else can do anything except Batman?
Shiller's attitude is not very optimistic. We are now in a period of global economic crisis. Even if the government has money, there are more problems that need to be solved than the temperature. This summer is destined to be very long.
As for counting on Bruce's return, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Bruce has a lot to do. Just preparing for foreign enemies is enough for him. By the time he's done, the economic crisis may be over.
Schiller came to the office, quickly picked up his things and went to the classroom. When he arrived, the classroom was already full. Several people from the New Warriors team sat in the back and stopped talking when they saw Schiller coming.
, sat up straight and looked at him expectantly.
It's a pity that they are destined to be disappointed, Schiller thought, the basic psychology class is very boring, and he can't teach it well.
Also, the process of collecting homework that happened almost every day and not getting it back, and what was written was a piece of shit, made him even more angry and angry than the 40-degree weather.
Helen and others watched helplessly as a storm swept through the classroom. She wanted to retract her evaluation of Professor Schiller's good temper. This was the first time she knew that there were so many words in the world to describe a person's stupidity.
