Chapter 1691

"Very strange, very strange."

In a laboratory that looked similar to the Batcave, Harley, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Red Hood, and Red Robin gathered together to look at a piece of metal. Harley was repeating what Scarlet Witch Wanda said, while Scarlet Witch Wanda was repeating what Stark said.

"The data of the property test is a mess. You can see that some values are random numbers within an interval range. This may be manifested in certain specific conductors in a high-pressure environment, but is it very popular in your universe to use superconductors as steel bars?"

Red Robin was the only one among everyone who could understand these complex theoretical data. He sighed softly and said: "About half a month ago, when we started building this floating fortress, I realized this problem."

"At that time, we just wanted to pick up some garbage in the city and recycle the metal that had been destroyed to use on some unimportant parts. This could save some costs. After all, Batman is not here, and we are not easy to go directly into the Batcave to get his raw materials."

"Midtown is different from Uptown. Most of the buildings here are reinforced concrete structures, so the most metal is naturally steel bars. We got a lot back and originally planned to re-smelt them directly, but for the sake of insurance, I still sampled some for material testing."

"The data obtained made me feel very shocked, but I felt that it might be a problem with the instruments here, so I took time to go back to the Batcave, tested it with the most professional machine there, and then found that this metal definitely has a problem. Just like you said, it showed some properties that this material could not show at all."

"I started to suspect that it was a problem with the sampling sample, so we got back dozens of samples from five different locations in Cat Getan Midtown and Downtown, and then more weird things happened. Their properties were all different."

Stark in front of the screen was stunned. It wasn't because of the phenomenon Red Robin said. He raised his tone and said: "Under these circumstances, you actually re-smelted them and made them into an aerial fortress?! My God! Aren't you afraid that the material will fail and fall down and kill yourself?"

"Failure is common, science needs an adventurous spirit." Red Robin's tone didn't have half a wave.

Stark opened his mouth. He himself was a very adventurous scientist, and he wouldn't have embedded a big bomb in his chest without an adventurous spirit, but this kind of scientific lunatic spirit that disregarded life and death still shocked him. What shocked him even more was that everyone present seemed to be accustomed to this.

"You... I mean, you didn't figure out its principle, and you dared to use it..."

"You say you can figure out its principle?"

Stark was choked. He leaned closer, looked at the metal material analysis report placed in front of Harley, touched his chin and frowned and thought for a long time. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.

"Have you considered the influence of magic?"

Everyone present was stunned. Stark passed the words to them through Harley and said: "The universe I am in is now developing technology in this area, that is, 'enchanted metal'."

"You are right. Material science is just taking chances, but humans have taken chances for so many years, and their luck is not very good. So why not just make it all random? Don't even want the most basic physical properties, use magic to change all properties, and lock it when certain useful traits appear."

"Sounds quite magical." Red Robin evaluated.

Stark crossed his arms and stared at the scene on the screen and said: "We are trying to use magic to manufacture a superconductor, or a universal conductor, which can serve scientific energy and become a manufacturing material for magic tools. Up to now, we have run about hundreds of billions of random numbers, and the perfect material has not been developed, but some defective failed products can be used in one aspect."

"Among the properties of these randomly enchanted materials, I saw some data similar to the material testing report of this steel bar. If the basic physical rules of the two universes are similar, it means that this steel bar is very likely to have been influenced by some occult factors."

At this time, Harley felt that the paper with a gray vortex in her pocket began to get hot. She reached into her pocket and felt gray mist writing on the back of her hand: "He is right. Try injecting energy."

In front of another screen, Strange frowned and looked at the steel bar and said: "I bet this metal has been refined by magic energy, and it is still being influenced by some kind of energy until now, so it has properties that ordinary metal doesn't have, so this group of children can use it to manufacture a floating fortress."

"I said long ago that the metal in Cat Getan's buildings has a problem." Poison Ivy's tone was flat, as if she were defending a thesis. She glanced at Schiller, signaling that she and Schiller had discussed this issue. Schiller nodded, indicating that Poison Ivy could speak freely.

"If I didn't guess wrong, it might be a kind of dark power. The specific source is unknown, but the property manifestation is that they will emit a kind of radiation when they constitute a certain structure."

"The reason I call it 'radiation' is because I don't know what this thing that can influence the body and spirit of people around it should be accurately called in occultism."

"Curse." Constantine and Zatanna said in unison.

"Is the curse here range-based?" Strange scanned Constantine and said: "Ours is targeted at individuals. This kind of range-based one is called a magic force field, not entirely bad. There are also force fields used for treatment."

"Wait!" Zatanna raised her tone and shouted: "The Curse of the Extreme Evil!"

Constantine immediately turned his eyes to look at her. Zatanna briefly told the rumors among the magic families before. Poison Ivy nodded and said: "If this is the case, then it is possible. Because according to our analysis, all the metal in Cat Getan influenced by dark energy is specially woven into a certain shape to achieve the maximum radiation range, and the radiation in one area will also echo with another area, and finally the entire city is shrouded in a huge force field."

"This is rare." Strange frowned and said: "It is very difficult to build a magic force field on our side. In addition to needing a massive amount of energy, it requires profound theoretical knowledge, exquisite construction technology, and frequent maintenance after construction."

"Earth Magic Defense Network?" Constantine asked.

Strange nodded. Although he didn't say anything more, everyone saw some similarities. Obviously, the Earth Magic Defense Network and the huge curse force field shrouding the entire Cat Getan have their commonalities.

Strange licked his lips, and a greedy look flashed in his eyes. He crossed his arms and tapped his fingers on his arms, then said: "Our research progress on enchanted metal shows that not every metal influenced by magic energy will change in a good direction. To see what properties this metal has, you must inject energy into it. I don't know if this group of children can think of this experimental method."

Harley's eyes rolled, and she said calmly: "Since this is the case, if we give it some magic energy and see how it reacts, won't that be it?"

"But where do we... Oh, my God, Little Green, I knew it was right to drag you over. I remember you seem to know magic."

Poison Ivy stepped forward and shook her head slightly, saying: "My ability is only effective for plants, and its influence on other things is very weak."

Looking carefully at Poison Ivy's face on the screen, Bruce raised his eyebrows in surprise and turned to look at Poison Ivy. Poison Ivy obviously recognized herself in the other universe, but she didn't react at all.

"I think you are beautiful enough." Bruce said tactfully.

"Thank you, but I know better that if I dare to dress like this and appear in Professor Victor's office, he will freeze me in ice for three days and three nights."

"Schiller will also shoot at you." Constantine rolled his eyes and said: "Because the difference between you and broccoli is not obvious enough."

The people in the aerial fortress laboratory on the screen fell into silence. It seemed that everyone's ideas were in a deadlock. After all, a clever woman can't cook without rice. No one here carried magic energy with them, so how to experiment?

But just at this time, the door was knocked. After Red Hood walked over and opened the door, he found that it was Jason, Tim, and Constantine standing outside.

"Oh, we met here." Jason waved to Harley, Harley also nodded to him. Constantine was somewhat surprised to see Poison Ivy. He said: "Have you seen Swamp Thing recently? He didn't answer his phone before. I'm worried that he might be out of control again."

"He is fine, just went traveling recently." Poison Ivy replied simply.

"This guy said he had to hide in Cat Getan for a while to study the brand-new operation form of the Holy Power Rune, and then let his debt circulate again. I think it's easy for him to be bombed to death if he runs around in the city, so let him live in our base for a while."

Tim explained to himself in the other universe why Constantine came here, and also winked at him, probably meaning "If there is a place where this bastard can be used, squeeze him as much as possible. Don't let him go until the rent is collected."

Red Robin raised his head tacitly. He walked to Constantine, nodded to him and said: "Long heard of your name, Constantine. We have some trouble now. If you can solve it, maybe we can help you."

"Hey, no one said to collect rent before I came. I..."

Constantine's voice stopped abruptly, as if he had been pinched by the neck. He slowly opened his mouth wide because he felt his back being pressed by a cylindrical object.

Red Hood appeared behind him, the pitch-black muzzle of the gun pressed straight against Constantine's waist. He said: "Work, or die."

"It is my honor to solve troubles for everyone!"

Ten minutes later, Constantine frowned and looked at the section of steel bar on the table. The magic power on his hand had just dissipated. He looked around and said: "Your conclusion is correct. This metal was indeed influenced by some kind of dark power, but without magic vision, you can't see the path of power operation. Even if you see it, I'm not sure you can understand it. This is a brand-new knowledge system, and it is quite complex."

The big and small Robins looked at each other and revealed a tacit smile. They hadn't forgotten how they were taken by Schiller and Bruce to roll academics when they were in the Forgotten Bookstore.

"Give us magic vision."

"My energy is not enough..."

"I'll do it." Poison Ivy stood out. She reached out gently, and a few drops of emerald liquid appeared on her fingertips, then flew to everyone's eyes according to her guidance, followed by the explanation appearing in their ears: "The so-called magic vision is actually a part of the perspective you get after reaching a connection with a transcendental creature. It can let you have the perspective of a plant consciousness collective."

Sure enough, when they opened their eyes again, the world was completely different.

And this vision was also transmitted to her brain along with Harley's optic nerve, and then seen by Wanda, and also seen by everyone in the office.

Nick stood up with a "swoosh," waved his big hand and said to Coulson and Natasha: "Go! Summon all researchers related to the enchanted metal project, contact the New York Sanctum to summon the Great Mages!"

"Jarvis, lead Wanda to the large conference room, readjust the equipment there. Ten minutes later, I want to see everyone present!"

Stark also walked out of the room like a gust of wind, saying to the other side of the communicator while walking: "Pepper, I need to see Obadiah. The weapons research department should have always been his responsibility, right? I hope all research backbones will be in place within ten minutes!"

Stark's voice and Nick's voice gradually merged together.

"We have seen a case of magic energy orderly influencing metal and making it produce stable properties, which is a major difficulty in magic promoting the progress of material science."

"An unprecedented cross-universe academic seminar is about to begin. I don't want any genius on our side to miss the opportunity..."

"The opportunity for further progress has come!"
