The next day, when Connors came to the Stark Tower laboratory, he saw Banner with two dark circles under his eyes and Stark in a mecha. This scene was really weird, which caused Connors to
Nas was stunned for a moment.
He put down the folder in his hand, dusted off his coat and said, "Sorry, I'm a day late. I just came from the laboratory in Los Angeles. The two graduate students I just accepted made the project a mess. I
Just solved the problem."
"Actually, I want to say that you don't need to come, because the two of us, especially me, have almost finished the work." Stark said in a higher tone.
"Really, but Nick told me that you haven't even moved on the biotechnology project. Just now Old Osborne called and said that there is a drawing that you have been delaying for two days..."
Banner slapped his forehead and said, "Okay, it should be my job, I almost forgot."
Connors walked over, shook his hand and said, "I heard your colleagues in the Los Angeles laboratory mention you. He should be your classmate at MIT... Oh, by the way, I heard that you were doing low-temperature experiments.
He has also made great achievements in this field, so, look at this..."
Connors took out a document from the folder and handed it to Banner. Banner took a look at it, pushed up his glasses, squinted his eyes, and said, "What is this?"
"A brand-new cryogenic technology was originally only used to develop cryogenic weapons, but several colleagues from the Los Angeles Cryogenics Laboratory and I studied it and thought they could also be used in space bases."
"I know this is a cryogenic technology. I'm just asking, when did human cryogenic technology develop to this level, dense ice? Isn't this a technology that only exists in theory?"
"You have to ask Schiller and his genius friend how he came up with such outrageous technology."
With that said, Connors handed the document to Stark. He said: "We have made great progress in the research of dense ice. This material can be used as the ceiling of the Mercury base. It has high transparency and high transparency."
It is light and can block the huge heat brought by the sun."
Stark glanced at it and said: "This thing is more suitable for use as an alien colony. It can be used as glass or something. It is not needed in a fully automated mechanical factory. There are no living people there anyway. Everything runs according to the program. No.
We need lights, let alone natural light.”
"Don't worry, aren't you studying the support structure beneath the crater? This material will satisfy you."
Hearing what Connors said, Stark turned his head and glanced at the document again. Connors then added: "More importantly, this will allow our raw materials to no longer be controlled by others. You were not on the phone before.
Ever complained? Wakanda is unwilling to provide more vibranium."
"It's not that they are unwilling to provide it, but there really isn't that much, and even if there is a lot, it's not endless. The next solar system development plan may use a huge amount of metal, and I have to save money for the earth..."
Stark picked up the document again, read it carefully, and said: "You are right, this can indeed replace some metal support structures, and more importantly, it is easy to shape."...
"Yes, that's right. With this, maybe the overall structure can be realized. There is no need to piece it together anymore. Let me see..."
Stark took the information and went to study it. Connors said behind him: "I will transfer the file to the central system later. Remember to read it."
Stark waved with his back to him, and Connors didn't care. He walked around the experimental table and walked to Banner. He said: "I need your help. The liquid colonization technology provided by Osborn.
It is very likely that it can be used on the deck insulation layer of an alien base to deal with the excessive temperature difference between day and night on Mercury."
So far, all three people have their own projects. Stark is mainly responsible for mechanical engineering projects, such as the overall structure of the base, the arrangement of the assembly line, the establishment of automatic programs, and the most important energy issues.
Banner is responsible for terrain modification and environmental adaptation, and Connors is responsible for biological modification. Of course, there is also Osborn, who is also involved in this matter, but he is not the main leader and is only responsible for providing some biotechnology.
aspects of technology.
More importantly, they also have an off-field aid, that is Reed Richards who is far away in the space station.
Reed is known as the smartest man on earth. Theoretically speaking, he has the highest intelligence among all humans, and space bases and cosmology are what he is good at. Originally, Nick wanted to bring him over to be the main force.
of.
But his space survey mission is reaching a very critical moment. Although the solar system transformation plan is very important, near-Earth research is also very important.
The solar system transformation plan still has a Stark, as well as other outstanding scholars such as Banner and Connors, but in terms of near-earth exploration, transformation and research, Reed is basically a one-man army.
There is no one to take on the extremely difficult research project.
However, Reed, who was far away on the space station, also heard about Stark's plan, and the two geniuses almost hit it off.
Reed on the space station was floating in the air and said to Nick through the communicator: "I didn't expect that he was quite courageous and dared to propose such a plan..."
"Had it not been for the most critical part of my current research, I would have wanted to go back and participate in this exciting project."
"If you can speed up a little bit, you might be able to catch up with us on our field trip to Mercury. As I told you before, with the help of magic power, everything becomes much easier."
Reed held the communicator between his head and shoulders and flipped through the information with his hands. He said: "But I have to remind you that it is best not to rely too much on magic. It is not something that belongs to humans. We must find our own way.
"
"Don't worry, some people not only want to rely on magic, but also want to take it for themselves... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Do you have any research on stars?"
"I have done a lot of research on stars, but most of them are not in-depth enough because we are still too far away from humans mining stars."
"Well... that's true, but... I mean... if, what if humans want to blow up a star, what should they do?"
"Blow up stars? What are you talking about? Why do humans want to blow up stars? Our solar system...it's called the solar system, and you actually plan to blow up the sun?!"...
"Not the sun, but a giant star with a mass about 120 times that of the sun..."
Before Reed could ask questions, Nick said to him as if he was reading from a script: "Now, we have the following options. We have something that can absorb the sun's energy and convert it into our own use. Its advantage is that it is completely usable.
Control, but the upper limit of absorption is not high..."
"Then it's useless. As you said, it is a giant star with a mass about 120 times that of the sun. If the device you mentioned cannot completely absorb all the energy of the sun, then it will be even more useless for the giant star.
Already."
"Okay, then we have another plan. We have something that uses magnetism. Don't ask me about the specific principle, I don't understand it. In short, it can control the magnetic field."
"If you don't tell me what the upper limit of this power is, how can I judge whether it can detonate a giant star?"
Nick sighed, and Reed listened to him say on the other end of the phone: "You better tell me, I really don't know anything about this."
"The maximum magnetic force he can manipulate is unknown."
A slightly unfamiliar voice from Reed sounded on the other end of the communicator. Schiller said to him: "But according to my estimation, it should be able to move large planets, bend light and manipulate light. At the microscopic level, it has reached the atomic level."
, can create wormholes, travel through space, can control gravity fields and unify positions..."
"Stop talking about it, that's it." Reed said with certainty: "If it can really reach the level you mentioned, then detonating the star will not be difficult at all."
"I know that it is very possible that his power can detonate stars, but I hope to understand the principle."
"If his control over magnetism has reached this level, there are actually many ways to do it."
"Then let me be clearer. I hope to find the most destructive method..."
"Destructive power?" Reed was confused for a moment, then reacted and said: "You don't want to blow up stars, but you want to use stars to blow up something else? What is worthy of you detonating a giant sun?
"
"Don't worry about it." Nick's voice sounded next to him, and he said: "When we are about to take action, we will ask you to watch the fireworks together."
"Well, to say that the most destructive thing is of course the supernova explosion, at least within the scope of my understanding, it is the most lethal."
"It is not difficult in theory to artificially guide a supernova explosion. If the thing you mentioned can artificially arrange atoms, it would be even simpler. I will pass on my research data on supernova explosions later.
You can take a look."
"Okay, I don't have any more questions to ask, let's see next time..."
"Wait! What are you going to do? Why do I think you are going to make a big fuss?" Reed asked.
"...This is indeed a big plan." Nick said.
Then Reed heard Schiller's slightly cold voice coming from the other end of the phone, like a ruthless mourner collecting a corpse on a cold night.
