Chapter 1692

The main feature of S. H. I. E. L. D.'s large conference room is that it is large. It covers an area of about 5,000 square meters, almost as large as a school playground. It is oval in shape and divided into three floors. The second and third floors are all circular listening seats, while the first floor is the main meeting place. A giant projection screen nearly 50 meters high occupies about two-thirds of the semi-circular area in front of the large conference room.

All the meeting seats on the first floor are not arranged horizontally and vertically, but are arranged around round tables, each with about twelve seats. There are more than 200 round table groups on the entire first floor. Above each round table, there is a small projection screen, and the front of the chairs is equipped with small computers, tablets for displaying data, intercom equipment, and seat telephones and intelligent translation equipment.

Such an arrangement is mainly conducive to the discussion of the project team when listening to the meeting content. After all, this is not a classroom. Most of the people who can participate in such meetings are the world's top scientists. Most of the time, they not only have to listen to the meeting content, but also have to speak.

And because every academic meeting is comprehensive, not discussing which aspect alone, scholars have their own strengths. Facing comprehensive topics, it is inevitable to discuss with experts in other fields. If they are arranged in front and back seats like a classroom, it is not convenient to find people, and it will also cause the content of the conversation to affect others.

Although the assembly time arranged by Nick was ten minutes, it was obviously not enough to gather global experts. Although there were Great Mages using teleportation portals to bring people here, it still took nearly 40 minutes to find all the experts that could be found on Earth.

The entire large conference hall was full. The first floor was basically top experts and scholars with achievements, the second floor was doctoral students, graduate students, and assistants they brought, and the third floor was some future scientific talents who were younger but focused on cultivation.

The listeners on the second and third floors did not participate in the discussion. Most of them communicated with their mentors by phone, provided assistance for them, and occasionally went to find assistants of other mentors to communicate, obtain data from them, or form groups to organize data for a certain project.

The students on the second and third floors were mostly quiet. Even if they gathered to discuss, they were whispering.

But the first floor was different. It could be called a gong and drum, firecrackers, red flags, and a sea of people. More importantly, the sound of discussion or quarreling had almost lifted the roof of the conference hall.

A spider web shone in the sun. Spider-Man jumped in from the window on the second floor, lay on the railing and looked down, and saw all acquaintances below.

So he didn't even think about it, made a neat diving action, landed handsomely after two and a half turns in the air, and then began to squeeze into the crowd like a flexible fish.

"You must understand what I said. The magical anti-gravity properties of this material can have a huge impact on our new port and space station projects. The next property analysis must be based on this."

"But we must first understand how the magic circuit on this works. The apprentices I brought have carried out reproduction on similar metals, but it doesn't work at all. This means that your speculation about the magic influence of this material may be wrong..."

Stark stood next to the round table at the front and argued with a female mage until his face was red and his ears were red. Stark focused on the physical properties of the material, while mages cared more about how magic power changed the properties of this metal. The two sides were talking about things that didn't match.

Behind him, Stark's technical researcher was distributing the newly printed data, with hot ink, to others. That was the latest material inspection report.

Stark took one from a researcher, put on his glasses, shook his head after reading from beginning to end and said: "Their equipment is not good. If it were in Stark Tower... Jarvis! Jarvis! Go and ask your little girlfriend if they have more professional equipment. The range of this property monitoring is too narrow, we need more detailed observation."

Spider-Man took the data from the researcher, walked forward while reading, and then heard Miles Warren's voice.

"How this radiation affects the human body, especially the brain, is the focus of our next research. I once told you that I understand magic as a kind of radiation, but you don't agree with my statement that might cause public panic. Now you see..."

"But this doesn't mean you want to use them to manufacture your evil clone army." Riley's voice came from beside Miles.

"I have no interest in clones now. If there are more alien lives for you to study, you will find that humans are weak. Even if you want to form an army, what is not stronger than humans?"

Miles, with white hair, pushed his glasses, waved his hand to call his research group and said: "Go and ask Nick if he can get some symbiote factors, we will try to reproduce its radiation wave frequency to see if this kind of radiation can affect symbiote factors or cause them to mutate."

Squeezing past Miles Warren's back, followed by Bruce Banner staring at the computer data, and beside him, Otto was typing fast with the two tentacles on the top.

"I am contacting the laboratory. We will observe from an optical perspective whether this special radiation is the key to this magical city being able to completely block the sun, but not to develop some kind of shield that can block the sun. After all, we already have the Dark Elf style."

"I think we can use this technology in reverse to make the penetration of sunlight stronger. If it can be applied to the technology of artificial sun, the controllability of artificial sunlight will be greatly improved."

Spider-Man greeted Otto. Dr. Banner saw him but had no time to ignore him. He seemed to be immersed in his own vision and said: "I once tried to radiate metal with gamma rays, but this special ray seems to be only effective for carbon-based organisms. I once applied for letting symbiote factors be exposed to gamma rays, but Nick rejected this proposal."

"Perhaps the appearance of this special radiation might make Nick loosen up on my experimental application, but I'm not sure whether to change the center of the subject research. After all, it didn't work before, and the data has been sealed by me."

"Spider-Man! Spider-Man!" A familiar voice shouted. Spider-Man looked up and found it was another Stark. He thought it might be the one disguised by a Skrull scientist.

At this time, he was buried in a pile of experimental data, impatiently beckoning to a Spider-Man on the other side and shouting: "Help me go to Laboratory 23 of Stark Tower to take samples of the Parbo-13 metal left by the Skrull spaceship before. I suspect that this might also have an effect on the super metal of the Skrull Empire. These two data show that it is very likely to solve the problem of the bloated molecular structure of Parbo-13. If it can succeed, we have taken another step toward zero-mass materials."

Spider-Man finally squeezed through the crowd and found Gwen. Gwen, Gwen Spider-Man, and several other Spider-Men were staring at the computer screen by the round table. Gwen frowned, her face looked bad. Spider-Man walked over and asked: "What's wrong? Gwen?"

"Another laboratory sent back news that the reproduction failed. The Great Mages almost perfectly restored the energy circuit, but it didn't work for the metal here."

"Could it be physical rules..."

"No, the performance of it not working is that there is a reaction but it cannot be stable. Every time it is measured, the interval is different. This proves that this method may be effective, but it is just completely impossible to put into actual use."

Spider-Man understood what Gwen said, and he also fell into thought, thinking about whether there was anything they didn't notice. Even if the energy material properties were different, since there was a reaction, it meant that it should be reproducible. It must be that one step went wrong.

Just at this time, a figure ran through the crowd in a hurry to the front of the conference room, picked up the broadcast communication equipment, patted the microphone hard and shouted: "Listen to me! Listen to everyone! I found the key!!!"

Everyone stopped their work and looked toward the front of the conference room, wanting to see who was so impolite to interrupt everyone's free discussion. But when they saw the person's appearance, the entire large conference hall fell silent, and everyone was listening to his speech.

It was Reed Richards who spoke.

"Okay, you gave me the most difficult experimental conditions. There is no physical object, no observation method, and even the experimental data is second-hand, but the great Richards still reached a conclusion!"

"Whatever results you have, just say it quickly!!!" Nick roared at him: "My time is money, you wasted three seconds of the golden brains of the world!!!"

"Okay, okay." Reed stretched out his hands to appease Nick, signaling him not to be impatient, and then cleared his throat and said: "You all made a major mistake, that is, this thing is not enchanted metal, not a product obtained by using magic energy to influence ordinary metal like a certain project team."

As soon as this was said, everyone was in an uproar. Stark frowned, but he was very rational and discussed the matter as it stood. He said: "But it still shows a state of being influenced by some kind of energy, which is a conclusion drawn based on the data we already have."

"It is indeed so." Reed didn't deny it either. He said: "From the external phenomenon, it is indeed so, but I think it is very likely an 'alloy', that is, a product mixed with ordinary metal and metal beyond our understanding."

"How do you know?"

"I have been observing the energy circuit patterns presented under magic vision. But according to my careful observation just now, I found that this mysterious and complex pattern that looks extremely mysterious may not be the result of careful design, but just the traces left by stirring."

A discussion broke out below again. Reed shouted a few times to let everyone quiet down, and then projected several pictures he sampled on the large projection screen.

"Look here, this pattern that looks like a meander appeared four times in the same area, so you understood it as a special rune. But after I made a logical deduction for all the patterns, I found that the scenes they are in, the relationship with other patterns, and the assumptions that can be made about their functions have no similarities."

"So I boldly guess that this is just a coincidence. Then why are there many repeated runes? It is very likely that some people used the same method to stir when preparing metal materials."

The field was silent for a long time. The scientists present were all thinking about whether this possibility existed, but immediately after, Reed put forward a more amazing assumption.

"But the reason I say this special metal is metal is because they do need to be blended with ordinary metal in the material world like materials for manufacturing alloys to achieve the effect of influencing the real world. But this doesn't mean that its body must be a material recognized by physics."

"You mean it's a magic material?"

"I prefer to understand it as 'solid magic'." Reed said after a little thought: "Considering the properties it presents, I named it 'solid darkness'."
