Chapter 3920

After getting out of the car, Stark was still muttering there. While walking up the steps, he looked back at Schiller in the car. Finding the other party expressionless, he became even more dissatisfied, constantly nagging about wanting to complain to Batman.

As a result, the moment he saw Batman, he shut up again. He knew the Arkham Batman and knew how powerful this guy was.

"Ahem." Stark coughed twice and said, "I really didn't expect you to be the president. But it's not surprising."

The Arkham Batman was quite enthusiastic; he took the initiative to step forward, shook hands with Stark, and said: "Sorry, it's a bit rushed, didn't have time to prepare any welcome ceremony. After all, you know, my universe has had some trouble recently. The more people, the more dangerous. Nothing happened on the way, right?"

Stark opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, just waved his hand and said: "I hate those superficial things the most. Let's solve the problem first, tell me about that electronic life form..."

The Arkham Batman invited the two of them to sit down and began to talk about the electronic life form. And Doom also exchanged intelligence with him. Hearing that this electronic life form had fought with Jarvis and Doom before, the Arkham Batman nodded and said: "Sure enough. I had guessed before that it should have reached the end in terms of programs and logic, and then started to explore emotions. Now it seems that it has probably reached the pinnacle of electronic life through its clashes with you."

"It's still far from it." Stark shook his head and said. "If you had seen the Machine Overlord... forget it, that's not a good person either, better not mention him."

The Arkham Batman was quite interested and said: "Who is the Machine Overlord? A superhero from your side?"

"He is an Iron Man, my variant." Stark sighed and said. "The codename is Machine Overlord Iron Man, and he has something called a Calculator on his hand. That is the true end of electronic life. If you meet him in Battleworld, it's best to go around him."

"That is to say, this guy who has troubled us doesn't count for much on your side, right?"

"Can't say it like that either," Stark shook his head and said. "When it fought with Jarvis and Doom, it obviously wasn't this strong. But when it ran to your side, it had already been greatly strengthened. If it runs back to our side, I'm afraid it will also be very troublesome."

"Then why doesn't it go back?" The Arkham Batman said. Immediately after, he added: "Don't misunderstand, I'm not saying it should go back, just thinking about its motivation."

"The reasons could be multifaceted. First of all, you have to admit that Magneto is the nemesis of all similar life forms, especially since it has transformed into a radio wave creature, it can't escape Magneto's palm. And, according to what you said, it has the ability to manipulate people's hearts, which is Professor X's professional field. If that doesn't work, one can also let the Scarlet Witch cover the bottom. In short, invading the multiverse over there is too difficult."

"But it could completely cooperate with mutants," the Arkham Batman said. "I know the mutants on your side have been seeking higher social status. If it can help, Magneto and the others shouldn't refuse, right?"

"Although it's said like that, it's actually very difficult to operate. First of all, the mutants themselves are not of one mind. In most universes, if it cooperates with Magneto, it has to oppose the X-Men led by Professor X. The X-Men have Phoenix in them; if she is stimulated, it won't be ruling the universe, but destroying the universe. This is definitely not what it wants."

"Secondly, Magneto is not that kind of brainless brute. He knows very well in his heart that no matter how he fights with ordinary people, they are all carbon-based organisms. And letting a silicon-based organism establish a dominant position is very likely to end up with the outcome of 'killing the donkey after the millstone is used'. Even if he cooperates with the other party temporarily, he must be thinking of using the other party. This kind of alliance has no trust to speak of; it can be said to collapse at a touch."

"Moreover, seeking social status for mutants is not that simple. Magneto and Professor X are already that strong, and they've been tossing back and forth for more than half a century without achieving anything. This means that although mutants are strong, there are things stronger than them where we are. It would be good if the electronic life form were willing to get involved in this quagmire; at least it wouldn't be able to get out for the next hundred years."

The Arkham Batman nodded, acknowledging Stark's analysis. Actually, he had thought about this problem before and reached a similar answer, but he didn't dare to be sure because of his lack of understanding of the situation over there. If Stark also had this view, it meant his judgment was basically correct.

The Marvel world's intensity inflates severely, especially the mutants. The first generation is already outrageously strong, and the second generation is even more incredible. And by the time of Franklin's sub-era, just various abilities could be written for thousands of words, and it's always about creating universes, controlling space and time, and wisdom at the level of cosmic essence...

Although the performance of these mutants is not as strong as their settings, in terms of the number of powerhouses, it is significantly higher than DC. There is always a mountain higher than another, and the whole universe is like a minefield; the electronic life form doesn't know at what step it will encounter a super saiyan with a super high setting and get hammered.

Another thing is, compared to Marvel which has already reached "All-New, All-Different", DC, where the New 52 hasn't even started for long, seems too young. Using the main universe's time as a standard, most superheroes are still very young, haven't experienced any major events, and are not at the same level of experience as the world-weary Marvel.

The so-called persimmon should be picked by the soft one; although this electronic life form has already evolved very powerfully, it also knows that it can't get ahead in Marvel and is easily hammered, so it's better to go bully the still-young DC, explore the evolution of emotions here, and after fully leveling up, kill its way back to take revenge.

Although he knew that his side might be treated as a leveling dungeon by others, the Arkham Batman still had to be cautious. If a flawless electronic life form were really created, both sides would have a headache.

"The Sorcerer Supreme of our universe has already gone to your main universe; it shouldn't be long before the magic defense network there is built, and that guy will be driven out. As for the one on your side, although I can take a look, I'm certainly not as proficient as the Sorcerer Supreme..."

The Arkham Batman nodded and said: "I have also built a magic machinery studio myself; you can go take a look there when the time comes. To be honest, it's a surprise to me that you two could come. After all, I have a pile of magic energy but don't know how to use it. And the researchers in those research institutes and universities don't listen to me."

"I wanted to say this before," Stark said. "You're already president, why are you still so aggrieved? Can't you just cut off their funding?"

The Arkham Batman shook his head and said: "The vast majority of them are not bad people; the various behaviors they commit that are detrimental to the development of the Federation are more like maintaining their own class interests. These people have ability and talent and can produce results, they just aren't willing to be dedicated to the public."

"If I kill them all, or simply drive them out and don't let them do research, then the accumulation of the Federation for so many years will be finished. It's like if you want to make a pond of fish move, you can't just drain the water; otherwise, even if they can flop a few times before they die, they will always die, and that is also my property loss. The best way is to introduce young and strong new fish and living water, forcing them to move, letting them rediscover the vitality of their youth, instead of staying in place and rotting away."

"Fine, it seems you brought Nick and the others here just to get some living water, right?"

The Arkham Batman appeared somewhat embarrassed and said: "Yes, I also know that Nick is very important in your universe, but I admire his talent quite a bit, especially his ability to maneuver between various forces such as Congress, the President, the military, etc. I need such talent to raise as much redundancy as possible within the various regulations that limit the President..."

"In plain terms, he's greedy and you use him." Stark shrugged and said. "You found the right person for this; Nick is best at using government money to raise his own army. You don't even know how many Helicarriers he has created... oh, now they are Heliships."

"Yes, I indeed need such talent. And although you two are an unexpected joy, you also happen to be able to help a lot. If you use Nick's funding to create some incredible big gadgets, then those old academic guys will also have a sense of crisis."

"In fact, Doom does have an idea," Doom spoke up. "Doom must introduce the information flow conversion project to you..."

Stark hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, but his small frame couldn't beat Doctor Doom and was pushed away directly by Doom. Then he could only listen helplessly to Doom introducing to the Arkham Batman how to store the entire universe into a USB drive.

At first, the Arkham Batman's expression didn't seem to be very approving, but Doom was worthy of being Doctor Doom; he immediately grasped the Arkham Batman's pain point.

"In fact, I have heard of your Batmobile. I heard that you recently performed magic modifications on it, but I'm afraid even so, there are many inconveniences, right? After all, such a big car, even if transported over by opening a portal, would be very conspicuous and really not suitable for raids and assassinations. But if it could be converted into data and stored, and summoned whenever you want to use it, wouldn't that be very convenient?"

"The experimental process of my project is progressive and won't convert living things right away. In my previous research, the experimental objects were small weapons and some building materials, because these are the things that most need information flow conversion. The former is convenient for individual soldiers to carry, and the latter can reduce transportation costs; both are very useful for combat and infrastructure."

"Think about it, originally on the battlefield, a soldier can only carry a few guns; if the load is overloaded, even a medical kit can't be carried. If firearms were converted into data, and you summoned whichever one you used, wouldn't that greatly reduce the burden on individual soldiers and improve mobility and combat capability? Compressing tens of tons of building materials into dozens of bytes, and you only need to carry a USB drive to conjure a building out of thin air—isn't that the fastest way to build?"

"When I was on the plane, I saw quite a few parks under construction on the ground; judging by the planning, they should be industrial parks. You must also be having a headache over construction costs, right? If you had this technology, transportation costs would be almost zero, and it would be environmentally friendly and pollution-free. Some buildings that originally hindered construction and were difficult to relocate could also be moved at any time. By then, how many people would use this or that reason to stop your planned construction?"

Stark didn't even need to look to know that the Arkham Batman must be tempted. No president could refuse such technology. This wasn't just technology, but concerned the most fundamental interest of a ruler—the issue of policy execution.
