This is the last week of summer. Most high school students who are admitted to the same university as Salomon have their own plans, but most of them are traveling and volunteering. Salomon's future classmates at the same college are different from other high school students. The reason is because of the age and wealth of Merton College, as well as the strong academic atmosphere of this college. Learning is his only interest, and Salomon is the same.
Compared with Oriel College, which only has muscles in mind, Balliol College, which is full of politics, and even Wardham College, which is full of gays, the students here are not too noisy and are one of the most standard "nerdy" colleges. one. Of course, the atmosphere in the college is not as dull as outsiders speculate. The college hosts the only Christmas ball in Oxford every year. However, Salomon has no intention of attending, and even attends the six official Christmas balls every week. He didn't even want to show up for dinner.
Of course, this is impossible, so Salomon is still trying to find ways to communicate with the school.
He really liked the stained glass windows and silver organ of this college, as well as the very peaceful learning atmosphere, which suited his aesthetic perfectly. Apart from Kamal Taj, there is probably no place in the world that is more suitable for academic studies.
This was what he had been doing after erasing part of Agent Coulson's memory, and it was even ranked as a priority alongside his magic classes. Confronting Dormammu was as scary as a college dinner, and if Salomon could not return to New York for dinner, Joan of Arc would have rushed to Oxfordshire with her pistol in hand to find him.
Jane Foster helped him greatly in this matter.
What better excuse than an undergraduate student spotted by a Nobel Prize nominee? As long as Jane Foster wrote to the dean and explained that Salomon had to return to the laboratory in London every day, he could easily skip the formal dinner and return to New York.
It was a big favor, and Salomon had to help Jane Foster analyze the Rainbow Bridge, an extremely stable Einstein-Rosen bridge. Whether it is magic or science, Jane Foster wants to solve the mystery of the Rainbow Bridge. Her biggest dream is to create her own Rainbow Bridge to Asgard, instead of waiting for Thor every day. Come to earth.
As for the stories about the Rainbow Bridge that Queen Frigga told Salomon, Jane Foster regarded them as Asgardian fairy tales. What kind of wizard falls in love with an extradimensional creature, or what kind of wizard builds a rainbow bridge. This is so absurd. How could something like this almost natural phenomenon be created by humans?
Jane Foster believes that the Asgardians are not the inventors of the rainbow bridge phenomenon, they are only the guides of the rainbow bridge.
"I don't have time, mentor." Salomon frowned and complained. It is true that he was able to enter Merton College with the help of Jane Foster, but he could not spend all his time in Jane Foster's "laboratory". By the way, the so-called laboratory is actually her apartment. There is no scientific research equipment here, only books and whiteboards - Salomon really has something to do.
His army of androids is about to hatch out of the cultivation vat, and the armor designs he prepared for these androids are roughly completed, waiting to be sent to Stark for the final modification.
The android's armor is completely different from Stark's steel armor. Salomon did not choose the fancy weapons mounted on the armor of the Stark Group, nor did he choose the MK42 mode that transmits instructions through neural signals. The most common force feedback power armor.
The steel armors before MK42 all operated in this way, which was a piece of cake for Stark. He could complete the design while analyzing Asgard's weapon technology, and the cost was not too high. Stark just doesn't like Salomon's aesthetic concepts very much. In Stark's opinion, Salomon doesn't understand the beauty of technology at all.
This damn medieval magical barbarian wizard!
Salomon rejected the integrated full-coverage armor design similar to MK5. He believed that this would greatly reduce the thickness and protective performance of the armor; he rejected Stark's plan to put the power core of the armor on the chest because he Thinking that Stark's reactor would be the focus of the enemy's attack; he rejected the idea of installing jet devices on the armored feet. Salomon referenced the shape of medieval leg armor and used alloys to cast various types of high-heeled boots. [This is the only design that Stark praised. 】
What's even more egregious is that Salomon rejected Stark's red and gold paint scheme! Salomon wanted simple black and white, and even went through the design of the helmet several times. Finally, he outsourced it to a designer to get the shape he wanted.
This doesn’t look techy at all! Instead, it looks like a modernly cast medieval armor, bulky and thick, far removed from the edgeless beauty of modern technological armor.
After most of the plans were rejected, Stark could only work on the life support system. This is what Salomon values most. The cost of his artificial machines is high, and coupled with the development and production costs paid to Stark, he can't afford to lose any of them now.
This is one of the things Salomon doesn't have to worry about the least at the moment, and it doesn't even take up much time. For Salomon, there is another thing in the Immortal City that is more important, and this thing is what Maya Hansen calls "new ideas."
She began to study alchemy.
This genius biologist plans to alchemize genes by studying alchemy and the Philosopher's Stone. She has the authority of Salomon's office and can easily access some alchemy that Salomon is inconvenient to store in Kama Taj. witchcraft and black magic. To this end, Salomon had to select a suitable list of books for her and tutor her in alchemy - a course that was connected with the occult courses of the druids of Sola's Redwood. , if it weren’t for Salomon’s almost endless energy after opening the stigmata, he might not have been able to survive such a busy day.
Maya Hansen's idea is to use the Extremis virus to fine-tune target genes, and at the same time use alchemical transmutation to modify and analyze epigenetically reversible gene expression, striving to allow those children who undergo genetic modification to have certain character traits. Such as bravery, caution and other traits. Salomon also strongly supported this research because he absolutely did not want those genetically modified warriors to have any thoughts of betrayal against him.
If these studies are successful, the Nobel Prize in Physiology should be available, but Maya Hansen doesn't care about awards from secular society at all. Death is inevitable. Even if the genetic samples in Maya Hansen's hands are adjusted, normal people will not be 100% safe after accepting them. Especially there are many things related to magic, and those things are the most unstable. the elements of.
She knew this very well.
Salomon had asked her to be mentally prepared before, and this was her method. She was fighting in her own way, and she was unwilling to let those lives disappear in her hands.
"We will have experimental subjects." Salomon repeated again and again, "They are all scum from Al Qaeda. I guarantee that those people are extremely cruel scum. You can experiment as much as you like without any psychological burden. "
"I am the professional, Salomon. Even a mature terminal virus may be out of control, let alone an extremely complex gene. Even after the human experiment is successful, I am not sure that subsequent genetic modification will be successful." Maya Hansen looks like she hasn't taken good care of herself for a long time. She spends almost all her time studying. Maya Hansen might have been in a much worse state when Salomon returned to the Immortal City if the artificial intelligence's newly installed server matrix hadn't helped her solve some of her problems.
"When are you going to take action?" she asked.
"Just wait until I go to college, Maya."
