Chapter 476 When Schiller Finds a New Street Lamp (2)
Previously, Hal, who still owned the green light ring, broke into Wayne Manor alone, and was caught by Alfred. The green light ring was dropped by Elsa, and was finally picked up by Dick.
The key is that the green light ring was removed by Aisha. As explained before, the green light ring is equivalent to a safe, and the green light energy is stored in the safe.
Only Lanterns approved by the Green Lantern Ring can open this safe and take out the Green Lantern energy inside. This is part of the Green Lantern Ring's safety lock.
Ordinary people who have not been approved by the ring, even if they wear this ring, cannot open the door of the safe and cannot obtain energy, and ordinary people have no way to crack the safety lock of the green light ring.
The process of how Hal's ring was taken off, in detail, is that Hal used his identity as a Green Lantern to pass the security lock certification and opened the door of the safe. When he was about to take something from inside, his hand was touched by Elsa
After taking a bite, the safe was thrown out.
But at this time, the safe was already open, and power was constantly being transmitted outward. Therefore, when Dick picked up the safe, he could immediately use the power of the green light. Even if he had not cracked the safety lock, he could
Without being certified by the ring, he can still obtain some of Green Lantern's abilities.
After listening to Dick describe the entire process, Schiller guessed the principle, and the key to it was Elsa.
The Green Lantern Corps has been operating in the universe for so many years, and all aspects of security measures are in place. It is almost unheard of that an ordinary person got lucky, picked up the ring, and then killed everyone.
This kind of accident rarely happens. In fact, it is because the Green Lantern ring has a relatively complete safety lock mechanism. As Hal said before, the ring cannot fall off during the power transmission process, even if the Lantern pulls the ring out by himself.
All to no avail.
But the only exception is Elsa.
Elsa is equivalent to the body of the yellow lantern beast Parallax Monster. Any material in this world may be a conductor of green light energy, but except for several other lantern beasts, it is impossible for green light energy to be conducted through Elsa's body.
of.
When Hal opened the door of the safe and was about to take out the contents, Elsa bit him on the arm, blocking the energy of the green light. At this time, the door of the safe was still open.
With.
Therefore, when the ring was taken off, a safe with a wide-open door appeared. Even a child like Dick, who had no willpower training at all, could use this energy.
Based on this principle, Schiller conducted an experiment.
There is no fixed standard for willpower, but in most cases, it is related to aspects such as concentration, endurance, and control of one's emotions.
Different people face different situations and have different willpower. If you break Batman's legs, he may not even grunt, but if you tear off a pearl necklace in front of him...
Therefore, Schiller can achieve the standard of willpower required by the green light by switching his different personalities. This is a simpler and more efficient method.…
Naturally, he called for a Green Lantern ring. However, Schiller, unlike Batman, the Lantern Rejection Man, would not not wear the ring just because he "didn't want to rely on external forces."
Nothing at all.
However, Schiller has no interest in wearing a ring and killing everyone. The Long Aotian type time traveler chooses to have a full meal, the intelligent type time traveler chooses to have a full meal, and the Schiller type time traveler chooses a new street lamp.
Schiller put on the green light ring, and then he used his willpower to open the lock of the safe, and then let Elsa grab his arm, blocking the energy of the green light, and then took off the ring. In this way, it was all over again.
After discovering Hal's situation at that time, the green light ring he owned turned into an unlocked safe.
Because the energy of the green light ring is constantly being output when it is stuck, Dick will immediately activate his ability as soon as he picks up the ring. Schiller took advantage of this and after taking off the ring, directly let the ring
Energy is output into the kryptonite crystal that has been drained of energy.
For the use of this new material, the idea is still the "color commonality" theory mentioned by Schiller. The energy of the green light is green, and the energy that produces radiation stored in kryptonite is also green. In the gray fog,
After absorbing all the energy, Schiller used the remaining colorless crystal as a container of green light energy, and as expected, it succeeded.
However, Schiller did not transfer all the energy in the green light ring to the kryptonite crystal, but left a little energy in it.
Because, Hal said at the time, the green light ring has a safety lock. When the energy of the green light ring runs out, it will actively return to the furnace to recharge.
Although the green light ring that Hal dropped did not return to the light group to recharge because Dick barely controlled the energy, Schiller did not control his light ring, so the light ring went smoothly.
He returned to the lamp stove and recharged himself.
But at the same time, the ring was not lost, nor was it recovered by the Lantern Group. Its owner was still Schiller Rodriguez, so after it was fully charged, it returned to Schiller.
Then, Schiller brought the fully charged ring to his hand again, opened the door lock again, used Elsa to make it stuck again, extracted the energy again and poured it into the kryptonite crystal, and returned it to the lamp furnace for charging again...
What is very magical is that the extracted green light energy is completely preserved after being poured into the kryptonite crystal. This kind of crystal that can store special radiation seems to have some special properties that can ensure the green light.
Energy does not spill out into the universe, but is always stored in crystals.
In this way, through his own small scientific experiments, Schiller basically understood the nature of the Green Lantern Corps, the Green Lantern Ring, the Green Lantern Furnace, and the Green Lantern energy. With his excellent economic acumen and time-tested moral standards, he successfully obtained the Green Lantern Corps.
Green Lantern Corps Fleece.
After hearing Schiller describe this process, everyone in Harr was dumbfounded.
Since this is around the 1990s, the phenomenon of stuck bugs is not that common, at least. Hal, who does not have any computer education background, has no idea how to describe this behavior...
"Actually, I'm cleaning up the mess for you." Schiller suddenly changed the subject and put the blame on Hal. Hal was stunned and said: "Clean up the mess for me. What happened to me?"
Schiller tapped the table with his finger and said: "It's because you didn't have any vigilance. When you got a strange ring, you dared to wear it on your hand. When you received a strange order, you dared to carry it out."
"Not only did you sell the earth's information to aliens, but you even used the abilities they gave you to do whatever you want in Gotham..."
"I didn't do anything wrong! I..."
Looking at Schiller's eyes, Hal's voice became weaker and weaker. He lowered his head knowing that he felt guilty, trying not to think about the tragic situation underneath when he landed on the Gotham Central Turntable pretending to be a green light.
"However, the deal is now done. Your information has been handed over. The aliens may have circulated it in turn. The leak of the information is irreversible. So, we must at least recover some losses, right?"
"But, this is without other people's consent... um..."
"Did you agree to the power they gave you?"
"Give me the strength to go through..."
"Of course." Schiller interrupted Hal and said:
"Before they gave you this power, did they inform you of the specific responsibilities corresponding to it? Did you obtain your consent when obtaining your personal details? Is there any privacy policy related to it?
Before you use this power, are there any instructions on the risks that may arise from this power?"
"Let me give you an example. No one has told you in any written or oral form that using this kind of power while falling on human traffic light poles may cause the risk of traffic jams. So, the traffic jam on the Gotham Central Roundabout will cause
The loss is not your responsibility alone."
"But, you have said that they are aliens. Aliens should not understand the earth's set of contract terms and other things, right?"
"Because they don't understand the rules of the earth, but they rashly gave you this power, causing you to cause destruction on the earth. Who is responsible?"
"yes……"
Hal almost blurted out, but he touched his conscience and swallowed the rest of the words.
After Schiller said this, he was a little shaken. He remembered that when he got the green light ring, no one told him how to use this power so that he would not harm the people on earth.
In fact, Hal was a little aggrieved by being accused by Alfred and Batman of betraying Earth's information.
He was just an ordinary person. Suddenly, divine power came from heaven, and the other party spoke righteously, so it was understandable that he did not expect that the other party might harbor evil intentions.
But now think about it, if a contract is written in a way that is beneficial to you, constantly giving you power, giving you money, giving you the name of justice, and only needs you to help him with some small things, what do you think?
They are all problematic, and the hidden risks must be too great to imagine.
"If there are such rules among aliens, but they don't tell you, this constitutes contract fraud, and they deliberately deceive you."
"If there are no such rules among aliens, then aren't they more barbaric than humans? Why should you listen to them?"...
Listening to Schiller's words, Hal fell into deep thought. Schiller continued: "It's the same sentence. Now it's a done deal. Like all victims who have been deceived, the most important thing is not to be ashamed and blame themselves, but to get their money back."
loss."
Schiller threw the green crystal in his hand to Hal. After Hal caught it, he picked it up and looked around.
Suddenly, he discovered that when he concentrated his attention, the energy in the crystal spread up his arm. In less than a second, he transformed back into the Green Lantern with green light all over his body.
"Now, you're free, Hal."
Schiller raised his head, looked at Hal who was floating, looked into his eyes and said: "You know what? I once asked Batman a question..."
"What's the problem?" Hal also looked into Schiller's eyes.
"The justice you want to enforce, whose justice is it?"
Hal was floating in the air. As he was thinking, his expression gradually became serious and then determined.
He does not have a bizarre and tortuous life experience like Batman, but is just a kind and determined ordinary person. Therefore, the answer in his heart tells him that the justice given to him by anyone else is actually just a coat of justice.
power.
"Actually, I don't know yet...I don't know what justice is."
Hal gave an answer that Schiller did not expect, but he went on to say: "But I will use this power to pursue this answer. Before I get the answer, my steps will never stop, even for this
Give it your whole life.”
As he spoke, Hal slowly fell down. The green light on his body faded, but did not disappear. Instead, he returned to the crystal again. Obviously, after strengthening his belief, his control over the energy of the green light returned.
Climb up a floor.
"Your ideals are great, and I also believe that with your willpower, you can practice justice. But the only problem is that in the process of practice, we may need a lot of funds..."
"Funds? But, I don't have money..."
As soon as he said this, Hal paused, and then his eyes fell on the green crystal on the table.
"But fortunately, I have already prepared our start-up capital."
"Ready, how to prepare..."
"I have already said that they breached the contract first, so it is appropriate for us to charge a small amount of liquidated damages appropriately."
Hal suddenly had a bad feeling. He stared at Schiller and asked:
"...How much did you charge?"
Hal saw that Schiller bent down and pulled out a large box from the bottom of the coffee table - inside was a mountain of green crystals.
At the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps, the commander of the Corps wearing a green uniform stood in front of a huge lantern. He turned to look at his subordinates beside him and asked a little confused:
"The power of the lamp furnace at the headquarters has been very consumed recently. Do you have any clues?"
