American Comics: Beginning with Luke the Maker

Chapter 188 Norman's pride and proposal
"The crystallization of a devil after death?" Hearing Norman's words, Nick immediately looked at Luke next to him, and that one eye was full: Can this thing be sold?

"It's normal. There are not many normal materials produced in that place. Most of them are these things." Luke looked calm.With Mephisto's stinginess, the only materials that can make him squander in the early stage are those poor devils and demons.Anyway, these are worthless in the dimension of hell.

In the chaotic place of the hell dimension, the borders of several neighboring lords are in conflict every day. This kind of crystallization or wreckage after death has accumulated for countless billions of years, and it cannot be picked up as garbage.

Mephisto, this can be regarded as waste utilization.

Of course, the above information was told by Master Gu Yi. She had been to the hell dimension and knew something about that place.To a certain extent, this curbs the profiteering behavior of Mephisto selling at high prices, which makes him very dissatisfied.But dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, and business still needs to be done.After all, throughout the ages, this kind of business between demon gods has hardly taken shape.Mephisto hadn't thought about the good thing that he could sell his own garbage pile for money after processing it.After all, who would want something from your hell dimension that exceeds the standard in dimensional radiation?
"Is it okay?" Nick was still inexplicably nervous.He didn't see this thing on the list, did he?How did this thing come about?

"What's the problem? After processing, it's just a piece of soul crystal. The relevant technology has been tested on those blood races. Please believe in the dimensional material safety standards formulated by Hyperion. Anything that does not meet or exceed the standard, then They are all defective and failed products. They will not be circulated on this planet." Luke comforted Nick.

"What's the use of it?" Nick shook his head, let go of the uneasiness in his heart, looked at the necklace in the black jewelry box held by Norman not far away, and asked aloud.

"It can increase the spiritual power of the wearer, and it is inclined to the language bewitching system. When a person wears this necklace, the words spoken will be easier to gain the approval and trust of others, and the other party will gradually become unsuspecting of you, and Answer every question. With it, you can control a person's emotions and thinking, and let him subtly follow your guidance and settings." Norman smiled and introduced: "The better a person is at using language, The more you can maximize the effect of this necklace! I think it is very suitable for the group of agents under your command."

"It's really good." Nick nodded. This kind of auxiliary equipment is exactly what S.H.I.E.L.D. needs at the moment.Norman found a good entry point.

"Not only that, its color quality has reached purple. In addition to the ability to bewitch language, it also has the power of a contract. You can consume the energy stored in it to enter into a contract with a certain creature. When needed , you can summon him to assist you," Norman added.

"A summoning item?" Nick instantly thought of the demons he saw in the square before, demons and so on.But soon, he shook his head. If he wanted to summon a demon inside the earth, he would have to go to the Ancient One to obtain permission first, otherwise a demon might not even be able to enter the barrier.

"You can think so." Norman said, with a little regret on his face: "We haven't fully understood the technology of Hyperion, otherwise, the effect of this equipment should be even better. The quality will also be improved." Higher! But time is too tight, we can only go so far.”

"It's already pretty good. Two pieces of extraordinary equipment! Osborn Industry is too good this time." Nick affirmed Osborn's products.

"Two pieces? No, no, no, this is not the limit we can come up with." With Norman's cunning, he couldn't help but put on a smug smile on his face, and he handed the necklace to the researcher beside him , shook his head and corrected Nick.

"And?" Nick was really surprised this time.

Osborn clapped his hands, and a researcher who had been waiting for a long time handed over a pure white jewelry box, which was the opposite color of the jewelry box that held the evil spirit necklace.

"The next thing is the hard work of Osborne Industries." Norman took the box carefully, and opened it under Nick's expectant eyes, revealing the silver-white bracelet inside.

"Holy Light Bracelet. If our technology and craftsmanship can go further, the bracelet can be turned into a ring or earrings. But there is no way, our current technology and proficiency in the use of Hyperion instruments can only allow us to do It’s so big. This is already the limit of what we can do at present, and there’s no one else who can do it better than us except Heberen.” Norman said proudly.He is not Stark. For him, business is the first priority. As long as He Bolun does not end, he can say that Osborne is currently the most advanced company with extraordinary equipment technology.He has such confidence!
"The Holy Light Bracelet? Sounds like it has some kind of opposite connection with the previous Evil Spirit Necklace?" Nick immediately thought of the power that Luke had shown him in the meeting room of Heberon. It seems that when Luke introduced him, he also said that this power is called Holy Light?
"In fact, their core materials are of the same origin." Norman said softly.

"The devil's soul crystal?" Nick raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, the soul crystal of the devil! It is the soul crystal of a powerful devil! The quality of the material directly determines the grade of the equipment. It was supposed to be an upgraded version of the evil spirit necklace, but it has been transformed by the energy opposition conversion technology. It has become what it is now. If the power represented by the evil spirit necklace is negative, then the power it represents is positive!" Norman confirmed Nick's inquiry.

"Are you sure it's the Holy Light? Can it heal people's injuries? Eliminate fatigue, even restore life, and enhance people's extraordinary strength?" Nick asked repeatedly, thinking of the hand Luke showed him back then.

"It seems that you have seen this kind of energy before. Yes, as you said, as you thought. It can do everything you said." Norman was startled, but looked at Lu who was standing beside Nick. Nick, a flash of clarity flashed in his eyes. Obviously, Nick had seen this kind of technology before with Luke.This made him a little embarrassed, but this embarrassment was erased by him in an instant, and the current Heberen and Luke were not among their pursuit and comparison.At least until they have a thorough understanding of the technology that Hyperion gave them, and mastered the production process of extraordinary equipment and instruments, and even got online with the source of material supply behind Hyperion, Hyperron will not be in their competition and confrontation.

"Energy production?" Nick was moved instantly.What he has always wanted is this kind of all-round equipment that can milk, resist and fight. The soul ring is one, but the demand for the full version is extremely high, and the threshold for using the castrated version is acceptable, but there are also various types of equipment. defect.Only the energy with Holy Light, which does not have a very high threshold and does not impose too much burden on the user, is Nick's favorite equipment to create.But Luke didn't sell it.I didn't expect to get such a big surprise here in Osborne today.

Norman clicked, with helpless embarrassment on his face: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to mass-produce in a short time. It requires extremely high craftsmanship! There is no problem with the Heybolon's instruments, but our employees are still a little proficient in using them." They are lacking. They just received a period of training at Hyperion. The technicians assigned by Hyperion to their side are too demanding on craftsmanship.”

"Hard workmanship is necessary. Although most of those materials are first processed and filtered in Hyperion to remove certain dangers, this does not mean that the equipment made of them can be used safely. Any mistakes in any of these links will result in serious damage. There may be defects in the produced equipment, as well as mild or severe side effects, or hidden dangers. If there is any problem, I am afraid that it will not be me and Nick who will come to talk to you, Mr. Osborne, but a group of masters A powerful mage came to talk to you. Maybe they will ask you, which dimension do you want to go to if you want to travel?" Luke spread his hands and said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, okay, can He Bolun appoint some more people? At least Osborne Industries has made achievements first." Norman raised his hands in surrender, but immediately made a request to Luke.

"Hebron's manpower is also very tight now. We still have our own research and production internally. The manpower allocated to you has been squeezed out from various laboratories. The most I have received during this time is Major labs are complaining about the tight manpower." Luke said that he couldn't help.What he said was indeed true.

Out of respect, the heads of the various laboratories in Hei Bolun certainly dare not complain about his instructions, but they can report to him frantically for their limited laboratory staff.Those reports were all telling him cryptically: Boss, stop smacking people!If you draw people again, you will be gone. Who can help you with the work then?
The plan belongs to the plan, but when the heads of the various laboratories have an unprecedented consensus, Luke has to take their emotions and opinions into account more or less.

All the giants who participated in the invitation took away a group of skilled researchers from Hyperion. It seems that there are not many families, but the number of manpower drawn together is quite considerable!Especially since the development of Hyperion, it has always been in a state of lack of people.

"Can't we send some people over from other people? Those who have not made results can't always occupy the manpower?" Norman suggested.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. It was discussed at the beginning, but the deadline has not yet come..." Nick looked helplessly at Luke who kept silent again, and could only accept Norman's words, but his words were also embarrassing color.

"Since Heyborun can't squeeze out manpower, and the manpower from other families can't be flexibly dispatched, can there be another way?" After being rejected for two proposals in a row, Norman finally saw it, and said. He came up with his own real proposal: "We will assign people to work for a period of time in Heibolun, during which all the expenses will be borne by Osborne Industries, and we can even provide Heibolun with a generous sum of money according to the number of people. training costs. This not only solves the manpower shortage problem of Hyperion, but also temporarily solves the problem of our lack of researchers who are familiar with the instruments, how about it?"

Nick didn't answer this time, but waited for Luke's answer.Luke next to him pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly under Norman's gaze.He doesn't worry about Hyperion's technology being surpassed or copied. If he is worried about this, he will not publicly license the technology to giant companies such as Osborne, and even lend generous loans to the corresponding equipment. over them.

Others didn't understand his intentions, but Luke knew exactly what he wanted.It's not that the so-called Hyperion family is the only one, but that there are multiple technological explosions.As long as you use and even improve his technology, you are providing him with a force.The scientific researcher who is the source of the concept of science and technology belongs to him all the experience and knowledge.So now that he has gained momentum and has mastered a certain amount of self-protection power, Luke no longer cares whether Hyperion's technology is exclusive or not.Just being on top is enough.What he needs now is to cast a wide net and sow his own technological seeds.Strap more wise men to his chariot.

"I can agree to this proposal." After Luke finished speaking to Norman, he turned his gaze to Nick beside him: "I think Mr. Osborne's proposal is very good, so I decided to cover all the companies that accepted the invitation with this proposal. Send a notification first to see how many people are willing to respond."

Nick heard the words and nodded slowly.Anyway, S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't suffer from this kind of thing, as long as Luke has no objection, of course he has no objection either.After other companies have selected their personnel to enter the various laboratories of Hyperion for training, they may be able to produce results soon after returning.This is a good thing for S.H.I.E.L.D. and humanity.

Norman Osborn felt that his face was a little stiff. He didn't expect that his proposal would be spread by Luke to the point where other people would also participate.This gave him a terrible feeling that he had worked so hard to make clothes for others.Although in terms of purpose, he can be regarded as getting what he wanted.

"Apart from the Holy Light Bracelet, can the other two pieces of equipment be mass-produced?" Nick asked a key question.

"As long as the supply of materials is guaranteed, there is no problem." Norman replied. "But even if there are enough materials, limited by the instruments and factories in the early stage, it is impossible to mass-produce too much. If large-scale equipment is required, and the number of skilled workers is guaranteed, it will take a certain amount of time to adjust the instruments. school and proficiency."

"Then arrange for my people to conduct experiments first. I need to take away the relevant test data." Nick signaled that he understood, and began to advance to the next step.He still has a bunch of important matters on hand that he needs to deal with personally, so he plans to solve them quickly here.
