After leaving Schiller's office, Lex began to think about how to complete this project.
To be honest, he had no educational experience, and all the knowledge he had before was learned by himself during his time away from Lionel.
When his father was still alive and still giving him medicine, he would pretend to hire some tutors for him, but those tutors knew that they were just a tool for Onel to show his father's love. Who would pay attention?
How about teaching an autistic child such advanced knowledge? No one would think that Lex could learn it.
Therefore, he did not know how to conduct research on a topic. However, regardless of the prescribed procedures, as long as the goal of the topic was achieved, Lex felt that he could still do it.
First, he has almost infinite wealth, which has solved most of the problems. He is no longer subject to cost investment, but just solves the problem wholeheartedly. Lex can use all his wisdom to become a 16-year-old
The talented boy believed that, under such circumstances, there was nothing he could not do.
Before carrying out his experiment, he needs to make some preparations. The first thing is to find an experimental site. Lex thinks that since he is now a student at Gotham University, it should be possible to borrow Gotham University's laboratory.
.
Then he discovered that Gotham University's laboratory could no longer be called a laboratory. To put it in terms of high emotional intelligence, Gotham University's laboratory should be just right for Galileo's experiments.
Gotham University has a total of two old laboratory buildings, located just behind the Academic Affairs Building. On the surface, the two buildings appear to be very large, one is 6 stories high and the other is 7 stories high, with more than 20 laboratories.
But after walking in, Lex discovered that there was no modern experimental equipment available, and there were almost no teachers or students doing experiments there.
Everyone is crowded into the new experimental building on the west side to do experiments, but that experimental building is relatively small, and only has 5 floors available. There are only 7 laboratories. So far, each one corresponds to a department, and there is no room.
The laboratory conducts experiments for Lex.
In this case, Lex is not limited to Gotham University. He thinks that a large city should have several research institutes or institutes, right?
Just like Metropolis, in addition to the central research institute, Metropolis also has many private research institutes that will also accept some individual researchers. Borrowing equipment only requires a fee, and Lexus is not short of money.
Then he discovered that he had really underestimated Gotham. He bought various maps, asked various people, and determined that there was no research institute here. The last research institute that appeared in this city was the European Research Institute.
Seminary founded by man.
Gotham is not a city where technology is the pillar industry. In other words, the entire city's technological pillars are all dependent on Batman. He alone can support a city. Now, the vast majority of Gotham has technological content.
All the equipment was made by him.
Of course, Lex couldn't ask Bruce to borrow the lab, so he had to find another way...
It is not difficult to build a new laboratory building with his financial resources, or to open a research institute independently, but it takes time. Even if he donates a laboratory building to Gotham University, it will take at least a year to build it. Lexco
Can't wait so long.
After searching around, he finally found a place that might be of use, and that was Victor's cryogenic laboratory.
Victor has been here for a long time. His cryogenic laboratory was renovated little by little by himself. It is located in the basement of the second old laboratory building on the 1st and 2nd floors. It can meet all his experimental needs.
As another super genius, Victor has built his base very well. Although he is not the super villain Mr. Freeze now, he has all the necessary freezing warehouses, cold storages, weapons arsenals, as well as most physics and chemistry.
Equipment available for experiments.
Victor and Bruce have a good relationship, so a lot of advanced equipment was obtained from Bruce at the cost of some cryogenic technology.
In addition, Victor earns extra money by working for gangsters in his spare time, and he can monetize his patented cryogenic technology. Now he is very rich, so his cryogenic laboratory is even developing in the direction of the Batcave, with equipment for various subjects.
It was very complete, and occasionally teachers from other departments would come to borrow it, so the reputation of this laboratory spread.
After Lex heard about it, of course he wanted to borrow this laboratory, so he went to find Victor, but Victor refused.
In Victor's eyes, Lex is just a freshman. He hasn't even taken a basic class. Why is there any need to do experiments? And experiments are not child's play. There are still many dangers in Victor's laboratory.
Something.
As soon as he heard that Lex was only 16 years old, Victor refused without thinking. No responsible teacher or researcher would let an underage child run into his professional laboratory.
Not only are you irresponsible for your own laboratory equipment, but you are also irresponsible for the safety of others' lives.
Will Lex give up? Of course he won't. He is not Batman, not a superhero, and has no moral burden. He wants to achieve his goal and will do whatever it takes to do so.
So, on the second night after being rejected by Victor, Lex directly entered the experimental building.
In Lex's view, Victor is just an ordinary scholar. It's useless for him to disagree. Anyway, Lex has plenty of ways to open the door and sneak in. When the time comes, he can use the equipment here as he pleases.
.
After entering the first floor of the laboratory building, just as Lex expected, there was no special equipment here. It looked like an ordinary laboratory building. After opening the first room, the preparation room also looked ordinary. Lex
I went in and changed my clothes, and by the way, I also found the directory where the utensils were stored.
He flipped through the catalog and found that the cold storage for storing certain special chemical preparations was on the underground floor, so he came to the stairs going underground from the first floor.
As soon as he walked down a few steps, a biting chill came up from below, and Lex shivered.
But he thought that it was normal for places with cold storage to have lower temperatures than other places. He just went down to get something. He couldn't stay for a while, so he would just come up soon...
An hour later, Victor looked at the withering Lex frozen at the door of the cold storage on the ground floor and sighed.
Lex was still alive inside the huge ice block. Not only that, his eyeballs could still move. He stared at Victor, obviously realizing that the elegant and kind professor in front of him was not the ordinary person he thought.
scholars.
"My cold storage is different from other places. You must wear special protective clothing to enter. In particular, you must wear special gloves to touch the door handle. Otherwise, you will be frozen directly in the ice like you." Victor
He put on a pair of gloves and turned the doorknob in front of Lex.
Lex's eyes fell on the door handle, and that's where he fell. He went down the stairs, and after finding the cold storage all the way, he turned the door handle without thinking, planning to open the door, and then instantly
It was frozen.
Lex has never seen or heard of such technology, which can freeze a person into a huge ice block in an instant. Moreover, he can't feel any signs of discomfort now, and he doesn't even feel cold. His physiology
His activities and thoughts are normal, but he cannot move at all.
This technology is a miracle in his opinion. It is precisely because he has knowledge in this area that he knows how powerful it is.
But Victor didn't care. He changed into protective clothing, walked into the cold storage, took a gun from inside, and with a "break", a ray of light emitted, hitting the place where Lex was directly.
On ice.
With a "pop", the ice cube shattered. Lex staggered twice when he landed on the ground, but he still managed to stand.
"How is this done?" Lex turned around and looked at the ice cubes on the ground. In his opinion, they didn't look like ice cubes, but more like high-density crystals similar to diamonds.
"You should answer my question first. What are you doing here? Your name is Lex, right? As a freshman, no one told you that this is a restricted area at Gotham University?"
"I would like to use the laboratory to complete a project assigned by Professor Schiller." Lex replied.
Hearing Schiller's name, Victor frowned. He took a few steps back and looked at Lex. He found that although Lex looked very thin and his face was a little pale, there was a kind of beauty in his eyes.
A different kind of light.
The last person who was assigned homework by Schiller was Bruce, and Victor knew very well how talented Bruce was. Did Schiller think that the boy in front of him was similar to Bruce?
Victor suddenly became interested. He turned around and walked back to the operating table, took a set of protective clothing from it, threw it to Lex, and said: "Come in with me, I will ask you a few questions, if you can answer
Once you get out, I can lend you the laboratory."
Lex didn't say anything, he just put on protective clothing silently and walked in. After that, the scene in the laboratory opened his eyes even more.
Gotham is a very strange place. The gap between the rich and the poor here is not only reflected in the buildings in the city and the ecology of the citizens, but also in terms of technology.
The other laboratory building next to this building is in dilapidated condition, as if dreaming back to the Middle Ages, but the laboratory used by Victor here looks like an alien experiment that was moved intact from a flying saucer. room.
The entire wall is grey-blue and is made of a metal that Lex cannot tell from. The connections between the walls are made of the same high-density crystals as before. Every two metal plates have one. A light strip that emits cold light.
There are four rows of experimental benches in the same direction as the four walls, and there is a huge machine in the center of the room, which opens up the floor between the two floors and is fixed between the ground on the first floor and the ceiling on the second floor. The moving blue liquid exudes a dreamy light.
There are two operating tables next to the huge machine, with buttons on them that make people dizzy. In addition, there are several rows of file cabinets near the windows, and there are also operating tables specially placed for test tube racks. On the test tube racks, there are various Various reagents emit a shimmering light.
In short, if you wake up in a laboratory like this one day, you will be thankful that the creature you walk in to examine does not have six legs.
Just as Lex looked around the entire laboratory, suddenly, the door of the laboratory was opened, and another thin figure walked in, holding a stack of documents in his hand, and said:
"Professor Victor, all the materials I brought back for sorting yesterday are finished. Are they still placed in filing cabinet No. 2?"
Lex turned around. He and the visitor were stunned for a moment at the same time. Lex saw that it was a thin boy who looked younger than him. He had a pale complexion and was shrouded under his eyebrows, looking a little gloomy. s eyes.
