Chapter 1234: The Farm of Justice (Part 33)
Standing in front of the massive Ark Reactor, Bruce thinks that he had only shared a portion of the Ark Reactor technology with Lex Luthor, with the goal of borrowing Luthor's genius wisdom to further improve Cat Getan's energy system so that the renovation project could proceed more smoothly.
And Luthor's goal in cooperating with him was to complete his university assignment, which was to improve Cat Getan's weather. This was also beneficial to Bruce, and at that time, Bruce's illness had already improved a lot, so the two of them conducted a partial technical cooperation.
And when Bruce and the others came here, Hal took them through a portal. This means of movement cannot be monitored by anything, and they came very hurriedly without notifying anyone. Therefore, Lex Luthor should not know that he and Clark are here.
In other words, Lex sending this thing here is purely to aid the New Democratic Army in Guadalajara.
And when Bruce and Lex were conducting technical cooperation on the Ark Reactor, Bruce had emphasized to Lex that absolutely no technology or finished products could be leaked.
Lex knows Bruce is Batman, so he should be very clear about what consequences might arise from leaking such important and dangerous technology. But he still did it.
This has already gone beyond the scope of stirring up international incidents to seize benefits. Most of the so-called aid and blood transfusions are picking some leftovers to throw over; it is impossible for a capitalist to really cut open their own main artery for a transfusion.
But Lex's current move is not only truly aiding Mexico with key technology and products, but more importantly, he has also placed himself under Batman's gun.
Bruce's thoughts turn rapidly, and he instantly grabs the key. Lex knew Schiller before him. At that time, Lex was still young, and it was Schiller who saved him from his father's clutches, and Schiller is a Bolshevik.
Could it be that Lex Luthor is also...
Bruce's eyes turn, but he says nothing. The remaining few have already surrounded it, starting to observe this huge engine. Clark observes Bruce's expression and says: "It seems you recognize this thing?"
Bruce nods and says: "It's called an Ark Reactor. It is the most advanced engine in the world so far. I didn't invent it, but I improved it."
The few who are in the dark all widen their eyes. Diana is the first to look at Bruce and say: "Did you not sleep well last night, so you started talking in your sleep? Let alone anything else, how do you know it's the most advanced engine in the world?"
"Because another version of it is buried beneath Cat Getan, supplying power to half the city, and it's only running at the lowest power setting."
Bruce walks up and strokes the surface of the Ark Reactor. Diana opens her mouth in surprise. Even if she doesn't know much about machinery, she knows that Cat Getan is a mega-city, and something that can supply power to half a mega-city is absolutely advanced beyond imagination.
"Wait a minute, Bruce, did you really put the plan you mentioned before into practice?" Clark frowns and looks at Bruce: "When we discussed this matter before, didn't Lex also not approve of you making a super-large generator to supply power to the whole city?"
"This is not a question of efficiency, but a question of safety!" Clark says very worriedly: "Even if the thing you built has guaranteed quality and won't break during operation, what if it's destroyed or controlled by others? This thing is an engine, but it's also a big bomb!"
"Then do you know where this thing is placed?"
"Where is it placed?"
"Under Schiller's house."
Clark stares with wide eyes, looking at Bruce in shock, and says: "You put this thing under Professor Schiller's manor? Wait a minute... but shouldn't it be placed in a place like the Batcave?"
"I can't get into the Batcave." Bruce says calmly.
"But aren't you Batman?"
"But I can't get into the Batcave."
"Why can't you get in?"
"Because there's a password."
Clark shouts somewhat brokenly: "Isn't that password set by you?!"
"No."
Clark is stunned like a wooden chicken. He opens his mouth, then blinks his eyes, seemingly doubting his own ears. After dozens of seconds, he opens his mouth and repeats it again.
"The Batcave's password wasn't set by you. Then who set it?"
"Schiller."
"Why would he set the Batcave's password?"
"To make me go write a thesis."
Clark slowly closes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and then opens his eyes to stare at Bruce's eyes and says:
"You mean, you and your professor, you cut open his back and almost took out his spine; he cut open your neck and almost drained your blood. You two tortured each other for 4 years, and then you put a big bomb that could blow Cat Getan into the sky under his house, and also let him set the password for your Batcave?"
Bruce nods expressionlessly. Clark slaps his forehead.
Hundreds of feet beneath the Rodriguez Manor, in the center of a massive underground space, sits a massive reactor as huge as a giant beast, emitting a bright light. Beside the reactor is a hamster wheel, on which a golden shadow is flickering.
Lex crosses his arms and looks at the readings on the instrument, his expression somewhat heavy. Schiller glances at Barry, who is running hard on the wheel, and asks: "What's wrong? Did something go wrong?"
Lex touches his chin and says: "The operation of the Ark Reactor is fine, and the operation of the external energy device is also fine, but the output power at the connection point seems to be a bit insufficient, but I'm also not sure where the problem is."
"I can't help. I don't understand these things very well, so is there any solution?" Schiller asks.
Lex walks up and presses a button. The wheel stops. Barry walks down, panting, and says: "I ran fast enough, right? Did it succeed in the end?"
"How come you seem to be enjoying it quite a bit?" Schiller looks at Barry and asks.
Barry spreads his hands and says: "As long as Batman agrees, I don't mind putting in some effort. Anyway, you want to improve Cat Getan's weather, which is nothing more than for the citizens of Cat Getan. It counts as doing a good deed. I'm happy to help."
Schiller glances at Barry's somewhat youthful face, then withdraws his gaze. At this time, Lex speaks:
"I think it's possible that it's a material problem. This part of the technology was completed in cooperation between me and Bruce. He was responsible for the material part, so I don't have detailed data. However, I remember him saying that the material used at the connection point is the same as his Batarangs..."
"So, you need a Batarang?" Schiller asks.
Lex nods and says: "I might need to study the properties of this material to determine if it's a conductivity problem."
"Then don't bother thinking about it." Barry leans over directly and says: "Every one of Batman's darts has a serial number mark. After the battle is over, he will recover all the weapons. Even if they fall into the Mariana Trench, he has a way to fish them out. He will absolutely not allow them to be lost outside."
Schiller walks silently to the side, reaches out, and pulls open a drawer. With a "clatter," a drawer full of Batarangs is dumped onto the ground.
Barry's eyeballs almost pop out. Schiller tilts his head, signaling Luthor to go take one. He stands by the side, crossing his arms, and says: "You see which version you want. I remember the materials of different versions are somewhat different."
"No, this... where did you get these?!
" Barry raises his voice and says.
"Confiscated." Schiller answers calmly: "There are also a few that my butler picked up from the ground beside him when he hung himself on the branches of the garden."
"Then won't he come to ask you for them?!"
"Then won't I not give them to him?"
Barry stares at Schiller with an incredulous look and says: "In Cat Getan, you actually dare to treat Batman with this attitude. How have you lived until today??!"
Schiller stares at the Batarangs on the ground and says: "You might as well ask, in Cat Getan, Batman actually dares to treat me with this attitude. How has he lived until today? Relying on his academic grades?"
After a while, Lex shakes his head and says: "No, the problem doesn't seem to be in this aspect. This Ark Reactor should have been improved through many versions. Bruce might have adjusted the interface during one of the revisions, but the connection device was not adjusted."
"Interface mismatch can also lead to poor conductivity. To solve this problem, I might need the detailed design drawings of his revision."
Schiller sighs gently and says in a low voice: "His design drawings are all in the Batcave... Forget it, I'll go over there."
After saying this, he places his gaze on Barry and says: "Aren't you fast? Take me to the Batcave."
Barry just wants to open his mouth, but notices the impatience in Schiller's eyes. Barry has no choice but to place his hand on Schiller's shoulder. Instantly, the Speed Force covers Schiller's body.
Schiller doesn't even feel his vision blur. In a time too short to be a unit, the gate of Wayne Manor appears before him. Barry withdraws his hand as if electrocuted, zips away very far, puts his hands together, and whispers!
"Batman, it's not that I wanted to come. I was forced to be helpless. I absolutely didn't want to break into your home. No matter what strange weapons you have, don't aim at me. There is a cause for every grievance and a debtor for every debt..."
"What are you doing?" Schiller says with extreme impatience: "Wrong place. Not here. Go to the suburbs."
Barry looks at him somewhat blankly. Seeing Schiller's increasingly dangerous eyes, he has no choice but to walk up again and say: "Then the Batman of this world is quite special. The Batcave is actually in the suburbs? I don't know the way. Can you point the way for me?"
Schiller points the way, and Barry uses the Speed Force to take Schiller to the Batcave in the suburbs. This time, it counts as going to the right place. In front of a somewhat desolate cave entrance, Barry sees a familiar gate.
"Alright, we've arrived, but how do you plan to get in?" Barry zips away very far again, stands at the bottom of the hillside, and shouts to Schiller: "The gate of the Batcave has a password. If you say it wrong, it's over!"
"Can you stand beside me?" Schiller looks at Barry with a frown, as if looking at a bear child who doesn't have ADHD but is running around everywhere.
Barry's foot tentatively steps out half a meter, but in the end, he still follows Schiller step by step. He whispers: "If the automatic defense robot starts shooting in a while, don't blame me for running too fast."
Schiller purses his lips, turns his head back, reaches out, and knocks on the door. Bruce's recording rings out: "Password?"
Schiller uses an extremely impatient tone—one that would make every student in this world immediately have their hair stand on end—and says:
"Hurry up and write your thesis!"
"Password correct."
After Bruce's voice rings out, the gate has absolutely no movement. Barry looks left and right somewhat puzzled. He feels a bit scared, so he instinctively takes two steps back.
"Bang!"
"Ouch!"
Barry steps into thin air and falls into a vertical shaft a few meters away from the gate. He climbs up from the ground, rubs his somewhat dizzy head, and looks up, only to see Schiller standing at the mouth of the shaft looking at him.

Schiller walks down step by step along the stairs, doesn't even look at Barry, and says while walking inside: "I told you to stand beside me and not move."
Barry covers his head, walking behind Schiller. He looks left and right and finds that this is a passage, but it doesn't lead to the gate, but toward the opposite direction.
"So, that one above is a fake gate? As expected of the resourceful Batman... Wait a minute, how do you know the password?!
!"
At this time, Schiller has already passed through the passage and arrived in the room. Barry finds that this is an archive room, and all around are archive cabinets.
Schiller starts searching from the beginning directly. After pulling open a drawer, he reaches his hand in, grips the edge of the documents, drops them page by page, and after finishing flipping through one drawer, he closes it and flips through the next.
The more Barry watches, the more guilty he feels. He gasps and says: "Don't you plan to be a bit careful? If Batman finds out that you broke into the Batcave and rummaged through his data, something very terrifying will happen!"
"It's fine, he can't get in."
