American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

Chapter 159: Space, Aberrants [1000010000]

Heberon Industrial Park.

Luke's Lab.

Luke was controlling the mechanical arm, carefully inserting a crystal blue, translucent chip, filled with fine lines, only 1 cm long and wide, and only 0.5 mm thick, into a cylindrical slot.

[Installation complete]

[Lock engaged]

[Activate device?]

Luke carefully retreated more than ten meters, activated a series of laboratory protective measures, and then said to the White Queen, "Activate the device."

"Device activated."

Under the monitoring of the laboratory monitor and Luke's eyes, the palm-sized, cylindrical device suddenly emitted a piece of azure light. The next moment, all the items around the device, including the experimental table on which it was placed, disappeared like they encountered a blue black hole, along with the blue light. The cylindrical device lost the experimental table supporting it and fell directly to the ground from mid-air.

"Experiment successful, congratulations, you have successfully created a wearable space equipment," the White Queen's voice said with anthropomorphic joy, congratulating Luke.

Luke shook his head. His original plan was to use energy to transform Dark City into a semi-dimensional space, but even though the mages had done their best, the project still needed a considerable amount of time to complete. The only good news was that most of the energy core materials for Dark City were ready and could be sent over for modification and assembly.

However, Luke also needed to re-verify the technology during this free time, especially the massive amount of knowledge he had just obtained from the Magic Cube. Although he hadn't digested much of it, only understood a small part, it was enough for Luke to have more inspiration and modification methods for the construction of Dark City. Of course, he also needed to seize the time to verify some prerequisite technologies during this period. Then, with the modified drawings, he would go to the mage king to re-customize a batch of dimensional materials.

Now that he had crossed half the threshold of his goal, he could consider many things. For example, strengthening the civilization level of Midgard? After all, the accumulation of knowledge was of great help to his perfect advancement.

"Conduct the next experiment," Luke ordered. Putting the items in only meant that it was half successful. The experiment could only be considered a qualified success if the items could be released undamaged.

[Activate device?]

"Yes!"

As Luke's voice fell, the surface of the cylindrical device was once again covered with azure light. The items that had been swallowed by it before reappeared in their original places, exactly as they were.

There were no accidents in the storage and release. Even though there was a strong sense of success at the beginning of the experiment, it still needed to be verified and proven by experiments to be precise.

"Save the experimental process," Luke instructed.

[Saved]

The White Queen quickly responded.

"Next, conduct the next experiment, live storage," Luke ordered.

[Experimental white mouse is ready]

The robot controlled by the White Queen placed the cage containing the white mouse within the storage range of the cylindrical instrument, controlled the robot to retreat, and reactivated the surrounding laboratory defense system before asking Luke again.

[Activate device?]

"Yes," Luke said.

The disappearing azure light re-rendered on the surface of the cylindrical object, and then all the surrounding items, including the white mouse in the cage, were swept away by the azure light and disappeared from the laboratory monitor and under Luke's eyes.

This time, without Luke speaking, the White Queen restarted the release process.

The white mouse was still alive, but its state seemed to be frightened. This shows that after a living body is stored in the space, it will not die in a short time, at least not instantaneously. But this does not mean that a living body can survive in this space for a long time.

Will there be any sequelae after going in and out? If so, what are the manifestations of the sequelae? Can it harm the life and health of the living body? Will it lead to death for some reason?

If not, how long can the living body survive in the space? According to the principle, the space is a closed space and cannot maintain the long-term survival of life.

The main purpose of this experiment was not to verify whether living organisms can survive in space, but it may be possible to continue the experiment after the goal is achieved and accumulate observations for future goals.

If there are no accidents in the storage and release functions, then the rest is to selectively store or release specific items according to human consciousness. For example, if you want to store a needle? Then the device needs to read your consciousness, and when there are other items in the storage range, it will not store items other than the needle into the equipment.

This sounds difficult, but the simplest method in the early stage is to control the output energy well. If the algorithm is good enough, it can be successfully achieved at least 80 times out of 100 times. If there is more sample data and more experimental data, these success rates will be even higher! Furthermore, according to the weight and volume of the items visually measured by people, a result can be estimated by human consciousness or matched with some measuring equipment, and then fed back to the space equipment, and the output energy can be controlled through the conversion formula built in the equipment.

The release is the same.

Of course, if you don't accept this convenient and quick method of consciousness access and have doubts about this method, you can also use voice control, images, and other control methods. It is nothing more than changing the consciousness access module to an intelligent system control module. Even if the latter control mode may have certain errors, as long as the intelligence of the intelligent system is high enough, although it is not as fast and accurate as the consciousness access system, it can achieve similar results.

Luke allows a hundred flowers to bloom, because these can also increase some other technical reserves. Anyway, he needs them all, it's all profit.

In the future, if he encounters Chitauri invasions again, he will no longer need to run around with two metal solid bodies. Of course, this is only a transitional stage. When he successfully builds Dark City and pours all the energy to open up a semi-dimensional plane, Luke will be equivalent to having a collection of material warehouses, armories, laboratories, energy rooms, and mechanical arms reserves that can be stored and retrieved at any time.

After adding the Rainbow Bridge technology, it can occasionally serve as a tool for running away and a summoning tool. This greatly strengthens his original insignificant sense of security.

[Do you need to continue to technically upgrade the chip mother machine?]

After completing today's experiment and cleaning up the experimental site, the White Queen asked Luke.

"I'm too busy, I don't have the heart to technically upgrade the chip mother machine for the time being. You can carry out technical extensions and expansion directions on your own, and divide them up like before and hand them over to researchers in other laboratories for research and brainstorming.

In addition, you need to allocate a part of the computing power to carry out mass production design of the existing mother machine," Luke nodded. He planned to put all technical upgrades and equipment upgrades after the establishment of the metal city. But in the early stage, he could also allocate more work to the researchers at Heberon to keep them busy. In addition to technical upgrades, he couldn't expect him to do everything, right?

The latest mother machine currently used in the laboratory to manufacture and cut space storage chips is probably version 2.0, which has already been upgraded once. Its cost and the expensiveness of the materials have reached the point where Luke feels a little distressed. Among them, some rare dimensional materials that have been processed by mages are also used! These materials are not something that mages can easily take out at any time. What's more, for Luke's Dark City, the Supreme Mage has almost emptied his accumulated wealth. After all, anything that can be thrown into the warehouse by Gu Yi is at least a rare dimensional life or a rare material.

Luke is now thinking about finding some alternative materials, even if it sacrifices some of the performance of the mother machine. As long as it can be mass-produced. Together with the supporting facilities at the edges and corners, this is a more complex project in the future than the so-called chip.

...

A SHIELD detention base.

"New supernatural power user? Not a so-called Inhuman?" Nick jumped lightly from the landing helicopter, the hem of his black trench coat swaying erratically in the strong wind. He strode towards the base while seriously asking Hawkeye Clint Barton, who was greeting him.

"You'll know when you take a look," Clint Barton handed the file bag he was holding to his commander.

Nick reached out and took it, quickly opened the file bag, and took out a stack of papers from it. There were portraits and identity information of several people on it, five living people and two dead people. Among the seven people, five of them had no contact with each other, and the remaining two were brothers. The identity information of the seven people was also very normal, at least the information before a month ago was very normal.

But after the Chitauri invaded, they disappeared for a while. During this time, the whereabouts of several of them seemed to have been erased from the Internet. After reappearing, they had already changed.

"Mechanization?" Nick finally knew why Agent Clint was so sure that it had nothing to do with the Inhumans, because these people's bodies had undergone a certain degree of mechanization, or rather, Chitauri-ization. They were transforming into semi-mechanical and semi-flesh life forms.

"Yes, regardless of whether these changes have occurred in their bodies, they can also use some special abilities, such as, transformation?" Clint said a piece of information that made Nick narrow his eyes.

Agent Mei, who was following Clint, held a tablet in her hand, opened a video, and placed it in front of Nick. The video showed the two brothers among the seven, whose mechanization was more in-depth than the other five. One on the left and the other on the right, half of their bodies had begun to transform into machines. In the video, the mechanized arms of the two brothers transformed into cold weapons, like weapon masters, flaunting their abilities.

It must be said that the weapons converted by the other party have considerable lethality. If the agent team that went to capture them were not the elite team equipped with the Beast series equipment, the agents might have suffered casualties at the moment of contact. Especially since the other party also had a Chitauri energy spear gun in their hands. After paying the sacrifice of two agents, for safety reasons, before the other party used the Chitauri energy weapons, the agent team resolved the two who were resisting.

Agent Mei opened the remaining videos again, all of which were corresponding image data of the people on the information. And without exception, these people had more or less some mechanical characteristics, and the abilities displayed also varied greatly depending on the mechanized parts. For example, one of them had a rhombus metal inlaid on his forehead like a third eye. The ability of this aberrant had a bit of energy attack and mental bewitchment characteristics. He was also the most troublesome of the captured aberrants. After paying the cost of two agents dead and six agents seriously injured, it was dragged until Agent Mei with the Mind Ring arrived before successfully capturing the other party.

"What do you think is the reason for their transformation? Is it a mutation caused by some kind of alien virus? Or some kind of unnatural product?" Nick asked in a deep voice as he entered the base, after reading the video and the paper information in the file bag, looked at the five aberrants being monitored by the camera through the screen in the base's main control room.

Clint and Agent Mei looked at each other, and both knew what the phrase "unnatural product" meant in their commander's words. Since it was unnatural, it was naturally man-made.

Retracting his gaze, Clint said, "We interrogated them separately, and the information we got was inconsistent. Two of them had blank spaces in their memories. They lost their memories of certain days, and we are trying to find ways to restore their memories during this time.

The other three are very normal and have also confessed some things. They are more like some kind of mutation that occurred after deep contact with the corpses of the Chitauri."

"In other words, the worst situation. Alien virus, and man-made disaster together?" Nick threw the file bag in his hand on the table in the monitoring room, pulled out a chair next to him and sat down with a golden sword, rubbing his forehead with one hand, and said calmly.

"According to the current intelligence, that's true," Clint replied in a low voice.

"Who is it? Stark Industries? Heberon? Vanguard Technology? Or others?" Nick pointed out several companies that had the technical ability to do this in a short period of time.

Of course, Nick didn't think that Heberon and Stark Industries would be involved. After all, the two were personally involved in the war that day, and even the problem solvers.

One is now a bit neurotic, either appearing in the media magazines accepting interviews, acting as the spokesperson and spokesperson of the alliance, or staying in his Stark Tower, playing table tennis and not knowing what he is researching and transforming.

The other is still hidden as usual, dying to his metal city. According to Phil Coulson's original words, the construction period is already full, but Luke is still urging.

Nick admitted that the two of them might do some research on the Chitauri. But he didn't think that the two of them would do something that didn't match their personalities and behavior. One is arrogant and complacent, and the other doesn't get up early without profit. The technology of the two is not so rough.

PS: 10,000 words completed. The promise has been fulfilled. Well, although it counts 3,000 words of the stock. But my head was a little hollow after writing it.

PS2: Thank you Hua Wu Tianjiao for the 200 coin reward, Jin Shining, Lei 2, Qin Taishi, and book friend 20200811220025805 for the chapter reward.
