The main feature of SHIELD's large conference room is its size. It covers an area of about 5,000 square meters, almost as big as a school playground. It has an oval shape as a whole and is divided into three floors. The second and third floors are all circular. As for the auditorium, the first floor is the main meeting place. A giant projection screen nearly fifty meters high occupies about two-thirds of the semi-arc 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 round table has about twelve seats. There are more than two hundred round table groups on the entire first floor, and there is another one above each round table. There is a small projection screen, and the front of the chair is equipped with a small computer, a tablet for displaying information, an intercom device, a seat phone, and an intelligent translation device.
This arrangement is mainly to help the research group discuss while listening to the meeting content. After all, this is not a classroom. The people who can participate in similar meetings are top human scientists. Most of the time, they not only have to listen to the meeting content, but also speak.
And since every academic conference is comprehensive in nature, it does not just focus on any one aspect. Scholars have their own strengths. Facing comprehensive topics, it is inevitable that they will need to discuss with experts in other fields. If it is arranged like a classroom, Seats in the front and back make it inconvenient to find people, and may also cause the conversation to affect other people.
Although Nick arranged for ten minutes to convene, it was obviously not enough time to gather experts from all over the world. Although the archmages had already used the portal to bring people here, it still took nearly forty minutes to bring the entire earth together. All the experts we could find were called over.
The entire large conference hall was full. The first floor was basically filled with top experts and scholars who had achieved results. The second floor was filled with doctoral students, graduate students and assistants they had brought. The third floor was filled with younger but focused future scientists. Talent.
Audiences on the second and third floors did not participate in discussions. Most of them communicated with their instructors on the phone to provide them with assistance. Occasionally, they also went to communicate with other instructors’ assistants to obtain information from them, or formed a group to work together. A certain research group organizes data.
Most of the students on the second and third floors were quiet. Even those who gathered to discuss were all whispering.
But the first floor is different. It can be called a noisy sky with gongs and drums, firecrackers blasting, red flags waving, and a sea of people. More importantly, the sound of discussions or quarrels has almost lifted the roof of the conference hall. opened.
A strand of spider silk shone in the sun, and Spider-Man jumped in from the second-floor window. He lay on the railing and looked down. There were all familiar people below.
So without even thinking about it, he made a neat diving move, turned around in the air for two and a half times and landed handsomely, and then began to squeeze into the crowd like a flexible fish.
"You must understand what I am saying. The magical anti-gravity properties of this material can have a great impact on our Newport 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 already reproduced it on similar metals, but it doesn't work at all. This means that you have no influence on the magic power of this material. The guess may be wrong..."
Stark stood at the front of the round table and argued with a female mage, blushing and thick-necked. Stark focused on the physical properties of the material, while the mages were more concerned about how magic changed the properties of the metal. The two Fang chatted nonsense.
Behind him, Stark's technical researchers were distributing the newly printed information, with the ink still hot, to other people's hands. It was the latest material inspection report.
Stark took a copy from a researcher, took out his glasses and put them on. After reading from beginning to end, he shook his head and said: "Their equipment is not good. If it is in Stark Tower...Javi Si! Jarvis! Go ask your little girlfriend if they have more professional equipment. The scope of monitoring of this nature is too narrow, and we need more detailed observation."
Spider-Man took a piece of information from the researcher's hand and walked forward while reading it, only to hear Miles Warren's voice again.
"How this kind of radiation affects the human body, especially the brain, is the focus of our next research. I once told you that I understand magic as some kind of radiation, but you all don't agree with my possibility. The statement that caused public panic, now you see it..."
"But that doesn't mean you have to use them to create your evil clone army." Riley's voice came from beside Miles.
"I have no interest in human cloning now. If there are more alien life for you to study, you will find that humans are weak enough. Even if they want to form an army, why are they not stronger than humans?"
The white-haired Miles pushed up his glasses, beckoned his research team over and said, "Ask Nick if he can get some symbiote factors. Let's try to reproduce its radiation wave frequency and see. Can such radiation affect or mutate symbiote factors?"
Squeezing past Miles Warren, he was followed by Bruce Banner, who was standing in front of the computer and staring at the data. Next to him, Otto was typing quickly with the two top tentacles.
"I'm contacting the lab, and we'll look at it from an optical perspective to see if this special radiation is the key to this magical city being able to completely block sunlight, but not to develop some kind of shield that can block sunlight, after all, we already have the Dark Elf model That’s it.”
"I think we can use this technology in reverse to make the penetration of sunlight stronger. If it can be applied to artificial sun technology, the controllability of artificial sunlight will be greatly improved."
Spider-Man greeted Otto. Dr. Banner saw him, but had no time to pay attention to him. He seemed to be immersed in his own ideas. He crossed his arms and said: "I have tried to irradiate metal with gamma rays, but... This special ray seems to be only effective on carbon-based organisms, and I applied to expose the symbiote factors to gamma rays, but Nick vetoed the proposal."
"Perhaps the emergence of this special radiation may make Nick looser about my experimental application, but I am not sure whether to change the focus of the research. After all, I said no before and the data have been sealed up by me."
"Spider-Man! Spider-Man!" shouted a familiar voice, and Spider-Man looked up to see another Stark, who he thought might be the Skrull scientist in disguise.
At this time, he was immersed in a pile of experimental materials, impatiently waving his hands to a Spider-Man on the other side and shouting: "Help me go to Laboratory 23 in Stark Tower to collect samples from the Skrulls." I suspect that the Ponbo 13 metal left over from the spaceship may 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 Ponbo 13. If it can succeed, We are one step closer to zero-mass materials.”
Spider-Man finally found Gwen through the crowd. Gwen, Gwen, Spider-Man, and several other Spider-Man were staring at the computer screen next to the round table. Gwen frowned and looked unhappy. Spider-Man walked over. Question: "What's wrong? Gwen?"
"Another laboratory sent back news that the reproduction failed. The archmages restored the energy circuit almost perfectly, but it does not work on the metals we have here."
"Could it be the rules of physics..."
"No, the reason why it doesn't work is that it responds but cannot be stable. The range measured is different every time. This proves that this method may be effective, but it is simply impossible to put it into practical use."
Spider-Man understood what Gwen said, and he also fell into thinking. He was wondering if there was anything they hadn't noticed. Even if the properties of energy and materials were different, since there was a reaction, it meant it could be reproduced. There must be a problem at some step.
At this moment, a figure hurriedly ran through the crowd to the front of the conference room, picked up the broadcast communication equipment, patted the microphone vigorously and shouted: "Listen to me! Listen to me! I have found the key !!!"
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards the front of the conference room, wanting to see who was so rude and interrupting everyone's free discussion. But when they saw that person, the entire conference room fell silent, and everyone People are listening to what he has to say.
The speaker was Reed Richards.
"Well, you gave me the most difficult experimental conditions. There were no physical objects or observation methods, and even the experimental data were second-hand, but the great Richards still came to the conclusion!"
"If you have any results, just fucking tell me!!" 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 comfort Nick, telling him to calm down. Then he cleared his throat and said, "You all made a big mistake, that is, this thing is not an enchanted metal, not like A certain research group also used magic energy to affect the products obtained by affecting ordinary metals."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Stark frowned, but he discussed the matter very rationally. He said: "But it still shows that it is affected by some kind of energy. This is based on the data we have. in conclusion."
"It is indeed true." Reed did not deny it. He said: "From the appearance, it is true, but I think it is most likely an 'alloy', that is, an alloy that is beyond the scope of our understanding. The product of mixing metal and ordinary metal."
"How do you know that?"
"You think of the energy circuit patterns that appear under magic vision as traces left by the influence of magic energy on this metal. But according to my careful observation just now, I found that this seemingly extremely mysterious and complex pattern may not be It’s not the result of careful design, but just the traces left by simple stirring.”
Another discussion broke out below. Reid shouted a few times to silence everyone, and then projected several pictures he had sampled on the large projection screen.
"Look here, this pattern like a pattern appears four times in the same area, so you may understand it as a special rune, but after making logical deductions on all the patterns, I found that they are in There is no similarity whatsoever to the scene, its relationship to other patterns, or the functional assumptions that can be made."
"So I boldly guess that this is just a coincidence, so why are there so many repeated runes? It is most likely that some people use the same method when mixing metal materials."
There was silence for a long time, and the scientists present were all thinking about whether this possibility existed, but then Reed came up with an even more amazing idea.
"But the reason why I say this special metal is a metal is because they do need to be blended with ordinary metals in the material world just like the materials used to make alloys in order to achieve the effect of affecting the real world, but this does not mean that its ontology must be It is a material recognized by physics.”
"You mean it's a magical material?"
"I prefer to understand it as 'solid magic'." Reed thought for a while and said: "Considering the properties it presents, I named it 'solid darkness'."
