Chapter 340: S: The Radiant Event (Part 15)
The next day, when Connors came to the Stark Tower laboratory, he saw Banner with two dark circles under his eyes and Stark wearing a mecha. This scene was truly a bit weird, causing Connors to be stunned for a moment.
He put down the file folder in his hand, dusted off the dust on his coat, and said: "Sorry, late by a day. I just rushed over from the laboratory in Los Angeles. Those two graduate students I just accepted messed up the project, and I just solved the trouble."
"Actually, I want to say, you don't need to come, because the two of us, especially me, have almost finished the work." Stark raised his tone and said.
"Is that so? But Nick told me that you haven't even moved the project in terms of biotechnology. Just now old Osborn called and said there is a drawing you have been dragging for two days..."
Banner slapped his forehead and said: "Alright, it should be my work. I almost forgot."
Connors walked over, shook hands with him, and said: "I heard colleagues in the Los Angeles laboratory mention you. He should be your classmate at MIT... Oh, by the way, I heard that you also have quite a few accomplishments in low-temperature experiments. Then, look at this..."
Connors took out a file from the file folder and handed it to Banner. Banner took a look, pushed his glasses, narrowed his eyes, and said: "What is this?"
"A brand new low-temperature technology. Originally, it was only used to develop low-temperature weapons, but I and several colleagues in the Los Angeles low-temperature laboratory studied it and felt that it could also be used on cosmic bases."
"I know this is a kind of low-temperature technology. I'm just asking, when did human low-temperature technology develop to this extent? Dense ice? Isn't this a technology that only exists in theory?"
"You have to ask Schiller about this, ask his genius friend how he came up with such an outrageous technology."
As he spoke, Connors also handed the file to Stark. He said: "In the research of dense ice, we have made no small progress. This material can be used as the roof of the Mercury base. It has high light transmittance and can block the huge heat brought by the sun."
Stark glanced and said: "This thing is still more suitable for use as an alien colony, used as glass or something. Fully automated mechanical factories don't need it. Anyway, there are no living people there. Everything runs according to the program. No lights are needed, and natural light is even less needed."
"Don't be in a hurry. Aren't you researching the support structure under the crater? This material will satisfy you."
Hearing Connors say this, Stark turned his head and looked at that file again. Connors continued to add: "More importantly, this can make our raw materials no longer subject to others. Didn't you complain on the phone before? Wakanda is not willing to provide more Vibranium."
"They are not unwilling to provide, but there really isn't that much, and even if there is a lot, it is not endless. The solar system development plan next will use a huge amount of metal. I have to save money for Earth..."
Stark picked up that file again and studied it carefully. He said: "You are right. This can indeed replace some metal support structures. More importantly, it is convenient for shaping."
"Right, that's it. With this, maybe the overall structure can be realized, no need to piece together anymore. Let me see..."
Stark took the information and went to study it. Connors said behind him: "I will transmit the file to the central system later. Remember to look at it."
Stark waved his hand with his back to him. Connors didn't care either. He bypassed the experimental table and walked to Banner's side. He said: "I need your assistance. The liquid colonization technology provided by Osborn might be able to be used on the deck insulation layer of the alien base to deal with the problem of Mercury's day and night temperature difference being too large."
So far, all three people have their own projects. Stark is mainly responsible for projects in mechanical engineering, such as the overall structure of the base, the arrangement of assembly lines, the construction of automatic programs, and the most important energy problem.
Banner is responsible for terrain transformation and environmental adaptation, Connors is responsible for biological transformation, and of course there is an Osborn, who also participated in this matter, but he is not the main leader, only responsible for providing some technology in biotechnology.
More importantly, they have an off-field aid, and that is Reed Richards, who is far away at the space station.
"Tian'a Descends"
Reed is known as the smartest person on Earth. Theoretically, he is the one with the highest intelligence among all humans, and cosmic base and cosmology are the parts he is good at. Originally, Nick wanted to pull him over to be the main force.
But his space exploration mission is proceeding to a very critical part. Although the solar system transformation plan is important, near-Earth research is also important.
The solar system transformation plan still has Stark, as well as Banner and Connors and other excellent scholars, but in terms of near-Earth exploration, transformation, and research, Reed is basically a one-man army. If he is transferred back, those difficult research projects of his will have no one to top them.
However, Reed at the space station also heard about Stark's plan, and these two peerless geniuses almost hit it off.
Reed at the space station floated in mid-air and said to Nick through the communicator: "I didn't expect him to have such courage, actually daring to propose such a plan..."
"If my research wasn't at the most critical part right now, I would also want to go back to participate in this exciting project."
"If you can speed up a bit, maybe you can just catch up with us going to Mercury for field investigation. Just like I told you before, with the help of magic power, everything has become much simpler."
Reed clamped the communicator with his head and shoulder, used his hand to flip through the information, and said: "But I have to remind you, it's best not to rely too much on magic. That is not something that belongs to humans. We must walk a path of our own."
"Rest assured, some people not only want to rely on magic, but also want to take magic as their own... Forget it, don't talk about this. Do you have any research on stars?"
"I have a lot of research on stars, but most of them are not deep enough, because it is too far for humans to mine stars."
"Hmm... That is indeed the case, but... I mean... suppose, suppose humans want to blow up a star, what should they do?"
"Blow up a star? What are you talking about? Why do humans want to blow up a star? Our solar system... it's called the solar system, you actually plan to blow up the sun?!"
"Not the sun, but a giant star with a mass about 120 times that of the sun..."
Before Reed could ask, Nick said to him like reading a manuscript: "Now, we have the following choices. We have something that can absorb the sun's energy and convert it for our own use. Its advantage is that it is completely controllable, but the upper limit of absorption is not high..."
"Then this is useless. You said it yourself, that is a giant star with a mass about 120 times that of the sun. If the device you mentioned cannot fully absorb all the energy of the sun, then it is even more useless for a giant star."
"Alright, then we have another plan. We have something that uses magnetic force. Don't ask me the specific principle, I don't understand it either. In short, it can control the magnetic field."
"You don't tell me what the upper limit of this power is, how can I judge whether it can detonate a giant star?"
Nick sighed. Reed heard Schiller's slightly cold voice from the other end of the phone: "Let me say it, I really don't know anything about this."
"The maximum magnetic force it can control is unknown."
A voice that Reed found slightly unfamiliar rang out from the communicator. Schiller said to him: "But according to my estimation, it should be able to move large planets, be able to bend light and control light, has reached the atomic level at the microscopic level, can create wormholes, traverse space, can control the gravitational field and unify the field..."
"Stop talking, that's it." Reed said very positively: "If it can really reach the level you said, then detonating a star is not a difficult task at all."
"I know, his power is very likely to be able to detonate a star, but I hope to understand the principle behind it."
"If his control over magnetic force has reached this level, then there are actually many ways."
"Then let me be clearer. I hope to get a method with the greatest destructive power..."
"Destructive power?" Reed was only confused for a moment, then reacted and said: "You guys don't want to blow up a star, you want to use a star to blow up something else? What is worth you detonating a giant sun to blow up?"
"You don't need to worry about this." Nick's voice rang out from the side. He said: "When we are about to take action, we will call you to watch the fireworks together."
"Alright, if you want to talk about the greatest destructive power, of course it is a supernova explosion. At least within the scope of knowledge I understand, its lethality is the greatest."
"Wanting to artificially guide a supernova explosion, theoretically speaking, it is not difficult. If the thing you mentioned can artificially arrange atoms, then it is even simpler. Later, I will transmit my research data on supernova explosions. You can take a look."
"Alright, I have no extra questions to ask. Then we will..."
"Wait! What exactly are you guys going to do? Why do I feel like you are going to make a big move?" Reed asked.
"... This is indeed a big plan." Nick said.
Then Reed heard Schiller's slightly cold voice from the other end of the phone, like a ruthless undertaker collecting corpses in a cold night.
"That's right, I call it... The Radiant Plan."
------------------ Side note ------------------
You can guess what "Radiant" represents.
Just like the "Bat" in the Bat Event, it has multiple meanings.
