Chapter 4114: When Pumpkins Mature (7)

The transformed Wei En Manor finally kept up with the times in the autumn of the millennium, possessing many modern facilities convenient for life, while also retaining the mysterious charm of the ancient manor.

After entering autumn, the exterior of the whole manor reveals an exceptionally simple and bleak atmosphere. The lawn turned into a dim brown-yellow, gray-green vines climbed up the bricks and stones, and the windows revealed warm light. The interior is another look.

The fireplace burned very vigorously, and the fire light illuminated the whole living room. After re-division and renovation, the area of Wei En Manor is slightly smaller than the original, but the Gothic castle is too large and inevitably looks gloomy. Now it is smaller, but it reveals a warmth. Those complicated and old crystal chandeliers were removed and changed to metal chandeliers that retain the Gothic style but are more modern.

Before, when improving the per capita living area, a part of Wei En Manor was divided out. The main hall, the garden, and the living room with the side corridor are still inside the manor, while the two independent buildings were divided out.

Under Bruce's tireless efforts, the Justice League finally passed Brainiac's approval and obtained a legal identity. Those two buildings were also used as the base of the Justice League—actually mainly Bruce's laboratory.

Before, because of funding constraints, Bruce didn't have a decent Batcave, and sometimes even needed to borrow the laboratory of the Luthor Group to make inventions. It's not that he didn't want to build it, mainly because his economic strength didn't allow it—his money was basically invested in Cat Getan's construction and transformation, and he really didn't have money to get those dead expensive research equipment.

And why don't you say that Brainiac is a blue-sky official, after he came, not only did Cat Getan's sky brighten, but Wei En's good days also came. Brainiac turned the two buildings divided from Wei En Manor and the basement of Wei En Manor that Bruce had never developed into a comprehensive research venue, which became the Batcave of their universe.

Of course, such a large area could not be used by Bruce alone. Besides him, some other research groups would also use it, for example, Pamela is a frequent visitor here, and Victor occasionally comes over, because a low-temperature laboratory was also built underground. Then there is the Physical Evidence Analysis Section of the Cat Getan Police Department, sometimes they will borrow the blood analysis equipment here.

For Bruce, this is equivalent to working from home, because originally these two buildings were the location of the study, the living room, and the storage room. Doing research here is like going home.

This morning, Bruce received a strong wind warning message, so he canceled the plan to go out and prepared to spend a day in the laboratory to complete the upgrade and transformation of the root vegetable harvester.

Just when he was looking at the data in the laboratory, a tall figure in a raincoat and rain boots walked in. Oliver held a string of big potatoes in his hand, took off the hood of the raincoat, grinned, and revealed two rows of white teeth.

"Look at this beautiful big guy," Oliver put the potatoes on the table, and then said, "I just dug it out, this is still the smallest string, each one grows very standard."

Bruce walked over and took a look, and found that it was indeed as Oliver said, this string of potatoes was shockingly large, each one was as big as an adult's forearm, and each one grew very standard, just like the kind of potatoes that would appear in cartoons.

Then Oliver took out a corn from nowhere. This corn was also shockingly large, one was almost as long as a baseball bat, and it grew very corn-like from head to toe, and the cob was full of plump fruits, yellow and looking fragrant and tender.

"Is this feed corn?" Bruce said with some surprise, "The feed corn I saw in Clark's house before was hard to outrageous."

"Yes, this is a variety of feed corn, but it has been optimized to be edible raw." After speaking, Oliver took a bite, visibly bursting with juice. He shook the corn cob very excitedly and said: "The first batch will be put into production in Mexico soon, and the people in the village will definitely be very happy."

"My God, what kind of ghost weather is this!" Pamela put away her umbrella. Aquaman Arthur followed behind her, his expression a bit helpless, he said: "I said we should take the park car over, you insisted on walking, and insisted on wearing a large raincoat, I was afraid you would be blown away!"

"Don't worry, I'm holding the ground with vines." Pamela exhaled a long breath, went to the water dispenser to pour herself a cup of hot water, gulped it down, and then said: "The growth of kelp is quite good, now it's just missing a harvester. What did the Magic Academy say?"

Bruce took a stack of data materials from the side, and then said: "The performance of underwater harvesting is no problem, but it must be less efficient than land harvesting."

"That must be they are lazy," Pamela asserted, "Don't tell me that magic also has to consider water resistance. Then what are we doing around such a big circle?"

"You always have to give them a chance for experimental iteration." Bruce said helplessly.

"Then let them go, the planting park is not closed." Pamela said unhappily.

"Don't be so angry." Arthur also poured himself a cup of water, and then said: "The production corps of Atlantis can still hold on for a while, although manual harvesting is more laborious, the output is indeed good. Mera and I discussed it, and we plan to plant this kind of large-leaf algae in the deep sea, and then rely on manual harvesting to earn some points to buy things on land."

"Rather than saying our research and development speed is too slow, it is better to say that your cultivation speed is too fast." Bruce poured another cup of hot coffee for Pamela, handed it to her, and smiled: "If we completely solve the human famine, then you must be the first, lady."

"Actually, it's nothing. Before, I studied expansion plants just to make them have a larger body, so that they would be more powerful when fighting people. Solving famine is what Brainiac said, of course, I did make some adjustments in terms of palatability..."

Pamela said quite modestly. Oliver also brought cookies to her, put them in front of her, and then said: "I must represent the Mexican people to express my heartfelt thanks to you, of course, also bring Siberia and Ireland."

"I really don't need more people to thank me." Pamela took off the scarf around her neck, and then said: "Brainiac didn't get my consent, so he wanted to set me up as a typical example. If it weren't for the strong wind today, I would have to go to the TV station to give a speech tonight."

"Isn't this just right? The Green of All Things will also thank you, after all, you helped him win so many believers."

"He also contributed a lot in the war," Arthur said, "I still remember, the fight you guys had, it was simply earth-shattering."

Then they talked about what happened in the war. That war was too thrilling, and there was endless talk about it. Just as they were talking, Bruce's phone rang.

"I made an appointment with a friend, I'll go over first." Bruce said.

Then he left the laboratory, entered the underground through the elevator, and then arrived at the main hall from another elevator underground, so he didn't have to brave the strong wind to cross the garden.

Opening the door, a figure in a long trench coat stood outside the door. Bruce opened the door and let him walk in. After hugging each other, he said: "Long time no see, Alberto, how are you?"

"Actually, it's not bad," Alberto took off his scarf, hung up his coat, and said, "How about you? How are you?"

"Still the same." Bruce turned around, and the two sat down by the fireplace. Alberto looked at the furnishings and said: "This is really very different from before. The style before was too gloomy, it's better to be like this now."

"I think so too, Selina and I are getting married soon, and neither of us likes that kind of too serious home atmosphere, it's better to be warm and light. How is the old godfather?"

"Not bad, after he stayed in Rome for a while, he went to Sicily. The climate there is warmer, the sun is sufficient, and the folk customs are simple, much better than big cities."

"Yes, I heard from Brainiac that you opened an investment company, and later turned into a shipping company. How is the business?"

"Brainiac monopolized global shipping, I just help him, and the days are okay."

"Then are you here to revisit the old place this time, or is there anything else?"

"I can't say specifically, you just take it as I'm here for tourism. After all, after I left, Cat Getan's changes are not small. How is the professor? Is he okay recently?"

"Not bad, since Brainiac carried out the professional ability test for university entrance, eliminating a large part of people who chose majors they were not good at, he doesn't have to teach those rotten wood anymore, and his mood is much better."

"I suppose this includes you?"

Bruce laughed, he lowered his head and said: "I am not rotten wood, if you have to say it, at most count as a gymnosperm."

"I'm planning to visit him, when is he free?"

"It's very windy this afternoon, so he probably won't go out. If you go now, you might even be able to snag a dinner. But it's a bit far from here to his place; do you have a car?"

Alberto shook his head and said: "Originally I could rent a car, but in this windy weather, the rental car company is not open. Do you have time? Can you send me over?"

"It's not impossible, but I have a few data that haven't run out, you might have to wait for me for half an hour."

"No problem, you go busy, I have some reports to read here too."

Bruce soon returned to the laboratory, processed the work that should be processed, put on a trench coat and set off on the road with Alberto.

The car drove into the community where Schiller is located, Alberto said with some doubt: "The geographical location here is also good, not far from the university town and the industrial zone, why is it so sparsely populated? Is there any problem with the house?"

"No, it's Brainiac's intention, the vacant houses here are rarely open for application."

"Why? He wants to build a nature reserve?"

"No, because this is a gathering place for mental patients. You can understand it as a large mental hospital with beautiful scenery. Only some dangerous elements with mental problems can move here."

"What kind of reason is this?"

"You know, some people are not normal by nature. After social discipline, although they look okay on the surface, they actually have a certain degree of danger. Letting them live with ordinary people may cause harm to ordinary people. So Brainiac drew several special protection areas with very low population density in the city to raise these large beasts."

"The professor is one of them?"

"Count as one, just because he insisted on not moving, Brainiac had to designate this place as a nature reserve, otherwise with the beautiful natural scenery here, building a city park would be the best."

"Okay, then he has no opinion?"

"Brainiac didn't tell him, but even if he knew, he probably wouldn't move, he is happy to be quiet alone." ===== CHAPTER 4115 =====
