Chapter 343: Making Something Out of Nothing

Years ago, the Power Laboratory.

"Everybody is checking at the end of the day to make sure everything is okay." Dressed in a white lab coat, Joseph stood on the edge of the lab bench tinkering with a black metal cabinet with cables on the outside, "After the final calculations are complete, the experiment is ready to begin." ”

The automatic door slid open, and Elimolo hurried into the busy laboratory.

"I just got your message." Eli walked up to Joseph, who was glowing red and expectant in his eyes, like a child eager to open a gift box. Eli looked around suspiciously, asking, "What's going on?" We're months away from testing the most basic version, aren't we? ”

Dr. Lucy, who was busy behind the computer, took the time to poke her head out, "Yes, but Joe made a breakthrough. We're well ahead of schedule now...... And even more than that. ”

She smiled confidently as she spoke, and her eyes lit up with an indescribable look.

Eli stared at the metal box full of cables for the equipment Joseph was tinkering with, and a cylindrical metal vessel like a thermos cup.

"Where did all this come from?"

"I made it." Joseph didn't lift his head, his hands still busy, and as he spoke, he was checking that every knob on the box was tightened, "This is the secret recipe we are missing, the most critical thing." But now that I've figured it out, I've taken care of all the technical difficulties and made the final breakthrough. ”

Eli watched as he put the lid on the cup-like device, pressed it firmly, and slowly twisted it.

Eli's eyes were still full of suspicion, and he asked the other companions beside him, "Do you know this?" ”

"I don't know." A finger-biting researcher shrugged at him.

Joseph ignored it, as if he felt that the results of the experiment could be the best proof without having to explain too much. He motioned for the others to activate the device, and the hands of all the meters began to spin wildly. The readings were nearing critical, and the excessive voltage even caused every tube above their heads to flicker and flicker.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and every second they had to worry about whether the energy that broke through the threshold would suddenly explode and fill the entire laboratory.

Luckily that didn't happen (though they didn't know at the time that something far more terrible would befall them). A strong, transparent impact erupted from the device, swept past everyone, and sent a chill through Sensen like a gust of wind piercing the heart. But the shock didn't seem to have any damaging effect.

The readings quickly returned to normal and the experiment ended. Joseph unscrewed the metal lid with trembling hands, full of anticipation, and everyone poked their heads to see what they were doing.

Joseph used tweezers to pinch out the contents of the device, a small fragment of black carbon.

Eli's eyes widened: "This...... No way. ”

Joseph couldn't help but smile: "Not anymore." After a pause, he added more confidently, "After today, nothing is impossible." ”

Everyone erupted in cheers, everyone knew exactly what the success of their experiment meant, and none of them doubted that this small think tank would leave a strong mark on the history of human civilization. The Nobel Prize is just around the corner, and if they succeed, their research will be much more than just a small prize! That would cause a seismic shift in the scientific community, and it would have a huge impact on the existing knowledge system of mankind, and the whole world would be changed as a result.

They celebrated the success with champagne that had already been prepared. When everyone raised their glasses and drank happily, Joseph still explained with a fluttering eyebrow: "Have you all seen it? It is sucked into and then disintegrated into a quantum state and stored, allowing it to be stored indefinitely without deterioration, or it can be discharged back into the chamber at any time to convert back into matter. ”

"Unbelievable."

"I can't even imagine how you did it, but you're a genius, Joe."

That's what most of the team said. Only Elimolo was Elimolo, who carefully looked at the data before and after, and then frowned: "This doesn't make sense." Look at the data here, these energies...... There was more energy at the end of the experiment than at the beginning. ”

"That's where its genius comes in." Lucy said with a smile.

But this is not in accordance with the first law of thermodynamics. Science can't 'make something out of nothing'. ”

Lucy smiled mysteriously: "It was taught to us by a book." ”

"Books?" Eli was stunned, "What book?" Can I take a look? ”

"Nope." Joseph pulled his wife aside and said in non-negotiable words, "The book is mine." You just have to do what I say. ”

Eli didn't answer, but his eyes moved clearly.

***

Years later, now.

"In a nutshell, that's about it." Michael said to Robbie Reyes' nephew Elimollo, who is also the host of Ghost Rider, "Your uncle coveted an evil book and plotted against his colleague...... Now retribution is back. ”

"No...... Uncle Eli has always insisted that he is innocent. Robbie frowned.

"Murderers always say that." Michael said, glancing at him more, "I'm actually more interested in you than Eli." Or more accurately, maybe 'another you'. ”

Robbie looked at his hands and shook his head: "If it's as you say, then this power ...... This curse is predestined, and it may not be said. The gangsters attacked me and my brother Gabe's car, and Gabe even lost his legs because of that accident. It was at that time that the devil found me and gave me the power to take revenge, but at the same time it became my shackles. ”

He glanced at Michael quizzically.

"But I've never seen anyone make it so grumpy before." He said, "Who are you?" Why do I have this thing in my body...... It just so eager to kill you? ”

Michael shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Because I stabbed its master's nest." ”

Robbie was stunned: "What? ”

"Boss," Wanda chased after him, glancing at Robbie, who had changed back to his original form, with a little jealousy, and then said, "It seems that the base has already located Eli's location as you said." He was with a couple of 'ghosts' and was now at the Roxon Power Plant. We ...... now"

"I'll go in a moment." Michael said, pausing and glancing at Robbie, "We've found your uncle's location." Do you live with that evil spirit? ”

Robbie stood up against the wall, his pupils turning demonic blood in the split second.

"Of course." He regained his senses, "No problem at all. ”
