Chapter 202: Energy Supply
"Is the island open now?" Although he thought that Clark would come to him and say this, then Skull Island should be open now, Tony still asked.
"Originally, it was open, but for some reason, now Skull Island is closed."
“······???” When Tony heard Clark say that Skull Island was now closed, a series of question marks appeared in his head. Thinking that now that Skull Island is closed, why are you still telling me this?
"Are you looking for me to help you find a way to open Skull Island?" Thinking about it, Tony can only think of such a conclusion.
"No, I mean to say that even though Skull Island is closed now, I still have a way to get in." As he spoke, Clark stretched out his hand and swiped into the air, and a blue spatial door appeared in Tony's studio.
"This skill of yours is so convenient, can I learn it?" After seeing Clark open the portal again, Tony couldn't help but sigh deeply. Originally, Tony felt that he should not covet other people's abilities. But Clark's portal is really convenient, and you can swipe wherever you want.
"I really can't teach you this, because the way I use this portal is different from the normal mages, and I'm using the energy in my own body now. And as far as I know, normally you need a hanging ring to open such a portal. ”
"Hanging rings? What is it? ”
"One of the magic weapons in Kama Taj, I don't know much about the specifics. If you're interested, you can check out Kama Taj and see if they're willing to teach you. Normally, magic takes a long time to learn, but if you're just trying to learn a portal, I'm sure it's pretty fast. ”
At this point, Clark suddenly felt that if Tony went to Kama Taj and came back with a magical lesson. Then I guess it's interesting, the magic version of Iron Man?
"How fast?"
"1 year?" To be honest, Clark really didn't know about this time, after all, the only two people he knew who had learned the portal were not ordinary people. One is Doctor Strange, and it took him half a day to really learn, and the other is himself.
But Clark knew that the experiences of the two of them were not comparable. After all, Doctor Strange is the future Supreme Mage, and he can crush a group of people who have studied magic for almost a lifetime to reach the top of the Supreme Mage in an extremely decisive time, and Doctor Strange's talent is not strong.
And he himself is even more needless to say, even the mana consumed when using it is provided by himself. So Clarke, after estimating the difficulty of the magic, gave Tony such a time of a year.
And this is on the premise that Tony can understand what magic is, if Tony can't understand magic, then let alone a year, it is estimated that he will not be able to learn it in his life.
“······ Forget it, I think you still have to believe in science. After hearing Clark say that it would take almost a year to learn, Tony gave up on the idea of learning the magic of portals. He didn't have a year to learn any magic, and with that time, he didn't know how many times his steel cloak had been renewed.
"By the way, since you have the means to enter this Skull Island, why are you still coming to me?"
"I didn't want to ask you for some sponsorship, what do you think about making this Skull Island a permanent base for the Avengers?"
"Build a permanent base for the Avengers? But didn't you say that Skull Island is closed now, and even if we make it a permanent base, how can we go back and forth in normal times? Is it all up to you to open this portal? ”
"Well, in fact, my portal can exist independently, as long as you power it."
For Clark, since the mages of Kama Taj were able to use outside forces to cast magic, he could do it too. However, there is a problem, and that is that Clark does not know the contact information of any of the great gods, and does not know how to borrow magic from them.
Secondly, the borrowed magic also needs to be controlled and maintained by his own mental power. And the strength is not necessarily as strong as his own casting, so Clark has not considered borrowing mana from those cosmic gods in the past.
But even so, Clark was able to build a channel for his magic to borrow power.
"Energy? Electricity is okay, but I don't have any magical energy to supply your portal. When it comes to powering portals, Tony thinks of electricity, which is the most used energy source by humans right now.
As for the rest of the energy sources, in most cases, they have to be converted into electricity before they can be used.
"Electricity may not work, but you have something here that can power the portal." As he spoke, Clark pointed to the ark reactor on Tony's chest.
"You mean that?" Following Clark's gaze, Tony also looked at the Ark reactor on his chest.
"The reason why I was able to use the Hanging Ring to open the portal like those mages was because I had absorbed a little bit of the energy of the Cosmic Cube before, so the energy in my body had a little bit of the energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube in it, so the portal I used was also blue.
As for Tony, the new energy used in the reactor in your chest, I think you should have guessed that it has something to do with the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. ”
After being able to control the energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube before, Clark had actually felt a familiar breath in the Ark reactor on Tony's chest, which was the breath of the energy of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
After a little thought, Clark knew that the reason why Howard was able to discover new elements before was probably based on the existence of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
And that's why Howard chose to hide this new element after discovering it, not wanting people to know the truth. Because he has experienced World War II, he knows how dangerous the energy of the Cosmic Cube is, and the Stark Group, which is only beginning to take shape, cannot resist those greedy eyes.
So Howard chose to hide, to hide his discovery, hoping that in the future, Tony would be able to protect the discovery before making it. And in fact, Tony also did what Stark expected, after creating this new energy, there is still Neng Li who can protect it.
And Clark is interested in Tony's new energy source, and he thinks that if this energy source is used to power the portal, his portal is estimated to be able to exist separately from him, just like the Rainbow Bridge.
However, compared to the Rainbow Bridge, his portal must be a lot behind in all aspects. For example, after leaving him Clark, he can't choose his own position, can't turn it off, and wants to turn it on, etc.
However, Clark doesn't think it's a big deal, and that as long as it can be kept open as a fixed entrance to Skull Island, it can be considered to have fulfilled its mission.
