"To be honest, Batman, you have never let me study you so carefully. Well, of course there are those abilities of yours. You always resist this kind of direct research. I originally thought you didn't like this... you You know, the act of treating yourself as a guinea pig.”
Lucius's voice came from the side, but Chen Tao was a little distracted. He sat expressionlessly, with a stinky face on his face, and allowed Lucius to draw a tube of blood from his body.
While drawing blood, he said nonchalantly: "And you haven't come to me for a long time. I seriously doubt that you came to me when you were in need, and then made me a lot of unreasonable demands, and then If nothing happens, just kick me aside and enjoy your happy vacation alone."
However, Chen Tao didn't pay any attention to what he was saying. He lowered his head and lamented:
"Oh, I'm so stupid, I shouldn't have let Cyborg..."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, go ahead, Lucius."
Chen Tao sighed.
Regardless of the comics or movies he has read, it was Cyborg who finally closed the sonic channel and stopped Darkseid from invading the earth.
In the original plot, he was activated by the Mother Box by accident and was given Apokolips technology. Then he absorbed all the high-tech equipment in the Star Laboratory. In addition, he lost part of his limbs. Multiple factors combined. In the end, he was created by accident.
But now, it is almost impossible to reproduce Cyborg's miracle of coincidence under normal conditions! Chen Tao tried it in the room in the Star Laboratory where the steel skeleton was supposed to be created. No matter what instrument he used, the mother box showed no reaction at all.
And this raises a new question: If Darkseid really reaches Earth and loses Cyborg, who will close his sonic blast channel?
Cyborg's abilities originally came from the mother box, so he could connect to it and switch the sonic channel on and off. However, if Chen Tao wanted to use Bat Leniac's ability to communicate with the mother box, the end result would be to try to use USB to read it. Card device to read the contents of the disc is completely wrong.
His previous attempt to put nanobots and Clayface on the other side of the sonic blast channel also failed. He didn't know whether what was on the other side of the sonic blast channel was Steppenwolf's spaceship or directly leading to Apokolips. But the only thing he knew was that the one he used Those methods fell into the sea without making any waves.
"Batman, please synchronize that nanobot first... Damn it, even though you told me all this, I still can't get used to such anti-scientific things."
Lucius's voice reached his ears.
Chen Tao did as he was told.
Lucius held various strange instruments around him to test, while Chen Tao continued to think.
He even imagined that those methods would be completely seen through by Darkseid. Therefore, he even preset an order for the nanorobot to return the information directly after receiving it, but there was also no response. The information was either intercepted or not received at all. Can be sent out.
Chen Tao touched his butt and chin.
But this is to be expected. If it was so easy to place surveillance on the enemy, then the Apokolips Legion would not be able to roam the universe and make people fearful.
Chen Tao turned his head and looked at Lucius who was trying to draw blood again.
"Are you okay? In the past few days, you have asked me to synchronize different bats one after another, and you have drained at least four gallons of my blood."
4 gallons, approximately 15 liters. With so much blood, even the representative of the red of all living beings would be unable to hold on.
"Okay, okay, okay."
Facing Chen Tao's question, Lucius took out a piece of paper from the drawer of the table next to him and handed it to Chen Tao.
"This is your body analysis report."
So why were you taking my blood just now when the report was finished... You took this opportunity to collect a little more for research, right?
"Some of the analysis came from Dr. Silas Stone, who was undeniably enlightening and profound.
When communicating with him, I tried my best to hide some data to prevent him from thinking of you. Lucius said: "But he is very grateful to you. I always feel that there is no need to hide it from him." "
"Be careful and you won't make a big mistake." Chen Tao said as he opened the report in front of him. Lucius stood beside him.
"All in all, after many tests, I feel that I can use a metaphor to explain your current situation."
Lucius said, "Lift weights."
"Let's talk about the conclusion first, Batman. You can no longer use the power of synchronized Batman with unlimited overclocking. This is extremely dangerous."
"But I can do it." Chen Tao said: "Alfred's protocol tells me that I can't synchronize the speed bullet bat for more than 10 minutes, but now I can extend it to about 15 minutes."
Lucius let out a breath. He walked up to Chen Tao, took the report in his hand, then flipped through a few pages, pointed to the indicators on it, and said to Chen Tao:
"Your Alfred Protocol... well, let's ignore how anti-scientific that thing is and just talk about what we know so far."
"You're like an athlete lifting dumbbells, Bruce. Remember when I made you stay in that surveillance room for 24 hours and try to synchronize a different Batman every three hours?"
"What's wrong?"
"This is where the problem lies."
Lucius said:
"After repeated comparisons, I found that for you, Synchronized Batman is like a weight. How much weight you can bear is determined by your own strength or some other variables that I have not yet discovered."
"But the problem is, as an athlete, you actually don't know how much you can bear."
"The time limit the Alfred Protocol places on you is like having a coach standing next to you. When he sees that you can't hold on any longer, he will stop quickly to prevent you from being crushed to death by a falling dumbbell when you are exhausted."
Lucius paused and continued:
"Or the metaphor of coach is a bit inappropriate. Of course, the coach in the gym will not watch you being crushed to death by dumbbells. If you can't catch it, he will definitely try his best to help you lift."
"But according to your description, the Alfred Protocol is at best a detector that can test whether you can hold on at any time. You can ignore the precise data he gives, but of course you don't want to I hope that when you are crushed to death, as a machine, he will be able to reach out and support you."
"Besides, ordinary people will suffer from spinal problems if they always bear heavy loads. Do you think you won't suffer from it if you are Batman?"
"Of course, those parallel universe Batmans you loaded are completely different."
Lucius said: "They are no longer your weight, but have become your muscles, allowing you to lift heavier iron blocks."
"So if you have nothing to do, don't always synchronize the Batman of a certain parallel universe. Even if synchronizing this Batman costs you very little, no matter how small a dumbbell is, it is still a dumbbell."
Chen Tao listened silently.
The scientist continued: "For you, the synchronized Batmans are always the force that you use yourself as the fulcrum to leverage. Even if you turn it into iron armor and wear it on your body, the weight will still not disappear. Over time, there will be no good results.
"This is why trying to synchronize two higher-level Batmans fails: it's like wearing a heavy suit of armor and trying to lift an even heavier dumbbell."
"So you said so much, I asked you about the strengthening plan you want?"
Hearing that Lucius wanted to continue his long speech, Chen Tao immediately interrupted him: "That's enough, stop talking. I'm telling you everything, and I'm not here to listen to your analysis."
He said: "Give me a specific direction of strengthening. How can I synchronize those monsters for a longer period of time?"
"It's very simple."
Lucius said: "Just like the strongman's targeted training to build muscle, spend more time building the strength that is already loaded on your body and does not need to be synchronized with the Alfred Protocol."
"By repeatedly exercising the abilities you have already loaded, you will naturally be able to gradually increase your load-bearing limit."
"But this increase is too slow." Chen Tao said, "Is there any other way?"
"Of course, you have another option."
Lucius said: "Get into technology."
He shrugged:
"For example, inject yourself with human-faced bat serum or other strengthening drugs. It will also increase your 'muscles'."
Chen Tao rubbed his eyebrows.
He probably understood the situation.
The method Lucius provided him was much more detailed than what he had explored on his own before.
Damn it.
Chen Tao sat in his seat, thinking about what he had longed for at the beginning of time travel.
As long as he can find a piece of platinum kryptonite that can give ordinary people superhuman abilities, and then swallow a mouthful of platinum kryptonite, my fate will be up to me...
Chen Tao shook his head, and this unreliable fantasy disappeared from his head.
"Okay, I understand, Lucius. Have you collected all the information I asked you about about the members of the Star Laboratory in Central City?"
"Ah, here it is."
Lucius handed another document to Chen Tao: "Star Laboratory is a large organization spread all over the United States. It has so many members. To be honest, I don't even know the members in many cities. But fortunately, I have a friend who provided me with a list. .”
"Yes." Chen Tao reached out to take the list, then stood up and took out a square metal body from the bag beside him.
"What is this?" Lucius was startled.
"Of course it's the mother box." Chen Tao told him.
"Are you kidding me?"
Lucius blinked: "I remember you had a big quarrel with the people from the government over this thing. We were so tense that we almost went to war. Alfred told me that you were showing off every day when you came back some time ago. A bad face."
"General Aylin even shouted such a nonsense declaration as "Take away the Mother Box if you want to take his life". How come two days have passed..."
He pointed to the mother box that was still flickering next to him: "The mother box just appeared in your hand?"
Despite what he said, Lucius was very honest in his hands. He took the mother box from Chen Tao's hand with a smile: "I have wanted to study this thing for a long time."
Then he saw Chen Tao handing another document to him: "This is all Dr. Silas Stone's current understanding of the mother box. It can be used as a reference for you."
Lucius held the mother box in one hand and his colleagues' research materials in the other, and placed them both on the instrument next to him with great satisfaction.
"Okay, thanks, Bat." He said, "But there's still a problem."
He said: "How on earth did you convince the military to hand over the Mother Box to you? In my opinion, this is completely impossible!"
Chen Tao paused.
"I didn't convince the military to give me the Mother Boxes."
"What about this one in front of you?"
"It's unmistakably genuine."
"Didn't you get the mother box?" Lucius asked, and then he heard the most impressive words in his life.
"I stole it." Batman puffed out his chest.
Lucius' silence was deafening.
"Ah? That's, uh, if it turns out, then..."
"I asked Clayface to use part of his body tissue to look like the Mother Box and stay in its original position."
Chen Tao said: "By the time they found out, it was too late. To be honest, the tug-of-war over the past few weeks has annoyed me. There were all kinds of exchanges of interests and mutual testing. They just insisted on the ownership of the mother box. If I don’t let go, what can I do?”
He said: "I can't really rob. Of course I can only steal."
He patted Lucius on the shoulder.
"In short, you study the mother box first, and I will equip you with enough robot guards and a watch that can call me with one click, enough to allow you to face this alien technology in safety. Remember not to activate it."
A few minutes later, Chen Tao left Lucius's laboratory again and sat inside the invisible bat plane.
The plane is in autopilot mode and flying towards its destination. Chen Tao took out from under his ribs the document containing the list of Star Laboratory personnel that Lucius had given him before.
He opened it and thumbed through it.
It says:
Native American.
Star Labs, Center City Division (Missouri)
Related characters:
Katherine Snow
Cisco Ramon
Harrison Wells
experiment equipment:……
Building configuration:…
Most of the information was collected completely. Chen Tao took a donut from the drawer next to him and stuffed it into his mouth.
All in all, let's gather more members of the Justice League first and then worry about the rest.
Chen Tao thought as he took another bite of donut.
He had already asked Dick to collect the family information of Barry Allen in The Flash for him. Fortunately, Barry's official partner Iris and her father were both white, unlike the TV series he had watched before...
Haha, what is he thinking?
Chen Tao shook his head. After all, since he traveled to the present, he has basically faced plots from comics and has nothing to do with TV series.
Chen Tao shook his head.
All in all, if we follow the plot in the comics, this trip should go very smoothly. Well, let me see, Barry Allen's girlfriend at this time is called Petty?
After a flight of dozens of minutes, Chen Tao's invisible bat plane finally stopped on the rooftop of a building not far from the Star Laboratory in Central City.
Chen Tao put on a crisp suit, and as Bruce Wayne, he soon entered the interior of Xingchen Laboratory, and Xingchen Laboratory also held a party for the visit of their investor, Mr. Bruce Wayne. Barry Allen was there.
Chen Tao carefully observed everyone present.
Well, that's right.
Caitlin, Cisco, and Chen Tao felt that these names were a bit familiar. It seemed that they were not often seen in comics. However, this list of experimenters was provided by Lucius. Maybe they were characters that had not appeared in comics.
Oh, by the way, he had already met two of the lab members, and of course there was one more.
Chen Tao turned around. Amid everyone's welcome, he saw at the end of the corridor an electric wheelchair carrying a thin middle-aged man wearing glasses slowly driving towards him.
"Hello, nice to meet you, Mr. Wayne, I'm Harrison Wells."
Chen Tao shook hands with him. "Nice to meet you, Professor Wales..."
Chen Tao suddenly stopped.
The sense of sight in front of him became stronger and stronger, and he suddenly realized a problem in an instant. He stared at Professor Wells in front of him and wailed in his heart:
"My super is Reverse Flash!"
"What the hell, what kind of world do I live in?! Why are the plots of The Flash TV series even happening in reality?!"
