Chapter 222: Dr. Wells' Invitation
Barry Allen woke up, and after Dr. Wells briefly gave him a rough overview of the situation, such as why he was here, Barry refused further examination and left the cutting-edge lab.
All he thinks about is seeing Iris, his childhood sweetheart.
Ethan didn't say anything to stop him, and he didn't rush to get in touch with Barry, anyway, the guy would soon find himself out of the ordinary and come back here for help.
After Barry leaves, Dr. Wells finally has time to pay attention to Ethan.
"So...... Ethan, you're ...... today."
"Recently, I have been walking around Midtown, and I have to say that the environment in Midtown is much better than that of Star City. β
Wells took off his glasses and wiped them naturally.
"It's a really good environment, and I chose to build a lab in Midtown because of that. β
"So I'm going to stay in Midtown for a little longer. β
Wells' hand wiping his glasses paused slightly, the time was so short that it was difficult for even ordinary people to notice this pause.
Unfortunately, Ethan was no ordinary person, and he noticed not only the brief pause, but also a very subtle change in the expression on Dr. Wells's face.
It was clear that Dr. Wells didn't want to be an outsider here, as it would likely affect his plans.
With the character of reverse lightning, this kind of accident will definitely be cleared directly, Ethan wonders when this guy will do it?
In a few days, tonight, or will he kill him as soon as he leaves the cutting-edge lab?
"I think I'll do it right away...... The current situation of reverse lightning is not good, and it is the safest choice to solve the problem in advance while there is still room for energy. β
It's a pity that Ethan doesn't want to leave for the time being, he is still waiting for Barry to come back for help, and then witness the Flash's first run!
"Caitlin, would I like to continue to see the rest of the cutting-edge labs so that I can be a guide?"
"Ahh Caitlyn turned her head to look at Dr. Wells, and when she saw Dr. Wells nodding, she nodded and agreed: "But there are many places that can't be seen now, and there aren't many places to visit." β
"Then take me to see the particle accelerator?"
β......β
Caitlyn became silent, and Sisko, who was on the side, suddenly stepped forward and took the initiative.
"Why don't I take you there? β
"Absolutely. β
Ethan then remembered that Caitlin's fiancΓ©, Ronnie Raymond, had died in the particle accelerator - not in fact, but had become a firestorm with Martin Stein, but no one knew about it now.
On the way, Sisko Raymond briefly mentions this to explain why Caitlyn reacts that way.
"I see, I'm sorry. β
Ethan didn't say anything, and Thea, who was still a young girl, felt great sympathy for Caitlin's plight, and realized that if she had lost her fiancΓ© herself, she would not be willing to take someone else to visit the accident site.
Later, both sides deliberately skipped the topic, and Ethan deliberately picked some scientific topics to talk to Sisko.
Ethan is not a scientist, but in order to study the power of 'reality', he has learned all kinds of scientific knowledge from Tony, and most of that knowledge has been memorized by him, although it is impossible to shock Sisko or anything, but at least it proves that he is not a rich boy who knows nothing about scientific knowledge.
What's more, Ethan still has a lot of mysterious knowledge in his head, and when mystery and science are studied to a certain extent, there are more and more intersections between the two, so Ethan and Sisko can barely talk well.
In addition, Sisko is a young man and likes all kinds of things that young people like, Thea understands this very well - more importantly, Thea is a very beautiful girl, normal men will unconsciously show themselves in front of beautiful girls, this is an instinct that goes deep into the bone marrow, and even many people can't even realize that they are doing this.
By the time Sisko reacted slightly, he had already introduced Ethan and Thea to Ethan and Thea, the most important particle accelerator in the cutting-edge laboratory, and even opened the inside of the accelerator for the two of them to visit.
However, for safety reasons, he did not let the two people in, but just stood by the 'passage' and looked at it.
Ethan felt it, although there was still a little energy residue here, it was really just a remnant. The explosion caused by Dr. Wells was very accurate, perfectly spreading the right amount of dark matter energy throughout Midtown, and did not leave much residue.
However, adhering to the virtue of 'no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat', Ethan still collects a little bit of this energy, the purpose is nothing more than to increase the diversity of energy traits in his body.
Sisko couldn't feel his movements, but Thea on the side noticed it, and she wondered what was the use of Ethan collecting such a small bit of energy?
"I'm used to collecting samples of all the energies that I've not been exposed to. β
Thea didn't quite understand the meaning of doing this, but she was a very smart child, and she knew that Ethan must have some purpose in doing this.
"Do I need to do the same?"
"It's too early for you. β
Although she knew that Ethan didn't mean anything else and that what she said was also true, Thea always felt that this sentence was inexplicably harsh, but she didn't know where to start if she wanted to express her dissatisfaction.
As Ethan pondered where to visit next, Dr. Wells contacted Sisko via the lab's internal radio and told him to go to the control room.
"Barry is back, he might need some help. β
Ethan knew that Barry must have noticed something unusual in his body and wanted to come back and ask what was going on.
When they returned to the control room, Dr. Wells originally wanted to send Ethan, but he didn't expect Barry and Thea to barely know each other before (the original plot didn't know each other so early, but because of Ethan's participation, Thea knew a lot of Oliver's actions well, and naturally contacted Barry in advance), and when the other party expressed his concern for Barry, it was really inconvenient for him to drive Ethan and Thea away directly.
What's more, strictly speaking, Ethan is also a person in a cutting-edge laboratory, and he has the right to know what experiments are being carried out inside.
"I know you care about me, but how do I feel like I've become a guinea pig?"
"Those are delusions!"
Sisko and Caitlin were very excited, completing a series of samples in a short period of time, and then it was time to test them in the field and see for themselves what Barry said, 'I'm getting fast'.
After bringing the gear, loading it into the car and heading to a sufficiently open field, there is a series of preparations.
When Thea is a little bored, Barry, who is dressed in a red bodysuit and a helmet, finally appears.
He also had several monitoring devices on his body, so that Dr. Wells and Caitlin could monitor the data on his body.
Sisko took the speed gauge and prepared to see how fast Barry really was.
"What do we do?"
"Let's just be an honest witness. β
Ethan tugged Thea slightly, and then the two of them took a few steps back, standing in an inconspicuous position, and then waited for this historic moment.
The historic moment was nothing special, and Barry showed good speed, but unfortunately he could only run around 370 kilometers per hour.
This is a completely unbelievable magical situation for Caitlin and Sisko, but it is not something to marvel at for Ethan.
"Is this the Speed Force?"
Standing a little back, Thea looked at Barry at the speed of the gallop and showed a shocked expression, because the visual impact of the high speed was too shocking.
"This isn't really the speed force of God. β
Barry's ability to move at high speed is indeed due to the speed force, but this state is not really activated by the speed force.
One of the most conspicuous features: Barry at this time does not have the conspicuous yellow lightning around him when he is running.
"And that doesn't count?"
"Not really. β
This means that Ethan will continue to wait, the Flash at this time is still just a prototype, he will at least wait until he can see the lightning before he can contact the speed force of this universe through Barry, or directly obtain the speed force from Barry.
Compared with the two, the latter is undoubtedly much simpler, and Ethan is only worried that Barry's own speed power will not be able to meet his needs.
In two sentences, Barry had already hit a bucket and broke his own arm by the way.
At the end of the test, as everyone returned to the cutting-edge lab to examine Barry, the fracture in his arm had healed.
β......β
Everyone is now a little surprised by the miraculous phenomena that Barry has on him, and Caitlin no longer treats Barry as a guinea pig, but as a rare treasure. The pair of hairy eyes stared at Barry deadly, and if someone who didn't know the situation saw this scene, they would think that Caitlyn wanted to eat Barry alive.
"It's amazing. β
Ethan has always been very low-key, like a human-shaped ornament, expressing his amazement at the right time.
"yes, it's amazing. β
Dr. Wells was silent for a moment, and then suddenly suggested taking Ethan around again: "It looks like Caitlyn is going to do a lot of examining Barry, and it probably won't be over for a while." β
"That's for the best!"
Ethan only hesitated for less than a second before agreeing, looking at Harrison Wells with a 'friendly' face, Ethan knew that this thing must be waiting to get his hands on it.
Wells controlled the automatic wheelchair to lead the way in front, and kept saying, "Actually, there are some special areas of the cutting-edge laboratory that have not been affected by that disaster, and they contain the highest level of secrets in the laboratory...... Like here. β
Stopping in the middle of the hallway, Dr. Wells pressed lightly against the wall, and a door suddenly appeared on the plain wall.
Harrison Wells then made a 'please' gesture to Ethan.
