Chapter 44: Acquisition and Re-entry of Abilities (1)
In a motel on the outskirts of New York City, Lin Ming was lying on a single bed. The Space Spirit manifested from his body and said in a mechanical tone, "It will take a few days to hack into the system, and the most difficult thing is a legal driver's license. ”
"In the United States, a driver's license is like an ID card, because it is the only legal document for the vast majority of citizens to have a photo. Relatively speaking, it is easier to get a citizen ID. There's no way I'm going to spend months going to the DMV to get my driver's license tested. What's more, you know, even if the world is more complete than the Titanic, the urban area that really belongs to human habitation is only a small part of New York City and its surroundings. I'm just curious why the world, with such advanced technology, turns a blind eye to this. ”
"It's not that it's blind, it's that it's unconsciously observed."
Lin Ming guessed a possibility, "That is to say, when the plot is progressing, there is an invisible force that makes it impossible for anyone in the fantasy world to realize that the world they are in is flawed." ”
"Yes, this invisible force is the key to keeping the story world running."
Lin Ming thought of his previous experiments in the Titanic world, because the Titanic world was not very complete, and the time from beginning to end was also very short, he didn't expect this.
"It seems that there is not only something unspeakable, but there is also another power that I cannot observe in a short period of time. Could it be that this is what the ancestor wanted to tell me, chaos and nothingness, order and fate. Forget it, let's not think about that yet. So is it appropriate to completely legitimize my identity? ”
"It's going to take three more days, at least as long as it's not the U.S. government's attention, you're legitimate."
"I'm relieved, after all, there's only the New York City government, not the U.S. government. Military personnel began to appear on a large scale, and that was by the time of the second part. But at that time, I am afraid that the integrity of this world will be enhanced, after all, it involves the entire planet, as well as outer space. ”
The Spirit of Space replied with insufficient data and could not be analyzed.
Lin Ming didn't care, after all, the Spirit of Space was just an intelligent assistant AI, not a universal system.
The next day, Lin Ming was still lying in the motel, and he wrote in his notepad that he had not been able to enter the door in the morning, and he had been driven out by the irascible stone man, and it seemed that their mood had not stabilized. In the afternoon, the door went in, but I met the security guard, and I didn't listen to the explanation. Luckily, he came across Thunderbolt, and this guy wants to be famous. As a result, he was stopped by his sister Susan, but he finally got a familiar face.
One of Lin Ming's fingers turned into the appearance of a stone man, and a ball of fire appeared on the tip of his finger. Then the finger returned to its original shape, but disappeared without a trace, and then an invisible shockwave formed, knocking a cup on the table to the ground.
The abilities of the three of the Fantastic Four have been obtained, but they are not as strong as these three, and it seems that it will take some time to practice.
However, the ability of the stone man is indeed very strange, and it seems to directly change the basis of carbon-based life, while Susan's ability is very similar to telekinesis, and invisibility comes from genetic changes. Burning Man's abilities are cooler, but more like a high-energy plasma from thermal fusion. But I didn't see Reed, and I didn't know what the essence of his rubber ability was.
Although the first goal was not achieved, the acquisition of the three abilities was familiar with each other, and the personalities of the three were understood, which allowed Lin Ming to start further plans.
At night, in Reed's rooftop lab, he asked, "Hey, what's going on today, I think I hear Ben complaining." ”
"It's a Chinese journalist, and he said that he was a fan of Reed, and he admired your achievements in scientific research very much. Hey, I never knew you had an admirer. Although he is a man, he is also a very handsome young man. ”
"Haha!" Reid smiled awkwardly, "Okay, now we can continue our research." ”
"Wait, it's 9 o'clock, do you still want to keep working?"
Susan's hint didn't seem to be understood by Reed, who only listened to him: "These changes in our body still need to be studied." Otherwise, we can't guarantee what will go wrong. For example, Ben. ”
At the mention of Ben, both of them were a little silent, indeed, three of the four heroes can live normally, and the benefits brought to them by superpowers have not yet been highlighted, but at least there are no side effects on the surface. But Ben, now, is completely unable to see the stone people as humans. His life form changed from the inside out.
The next day, Reid was doing experiments in a large laboratory on the top floor when Susan walked in and said, "Reed, that Chinese reporter who admired you is here again." ”
"I'm working on it, just let Willie send him away."
"Hey, I don't think that's the way we treat guests."
Thunderbolt Johnny walked in, a ball of fire coming out of his hand, only to hear Susan warn, "You can't show your superpowers in front of ordinary people at will. ”
"Why? Don't you think that's cool? ”
"What did you tell the reporter?"
"Nothing, and he gave all four of us a gift."
With that, Johnny tossed Susan a small box, Ben a king-size box, and placed another flat box with Reed.
Then he unpacked the package in his hand and exclaimed, "Wow, what is this, it looks like it's Sony's latest game console." ”
Susan also opened the small box in her hand, which was a very unique-looking brooch. Just one look at it, you know that this brooch is not the kind of brooch that can be bought in ordinary stores.
In the big box in Ben's hand was a helmet that was very suitable for him, and after he brought this helmet on, he provoked Johnny's admiration, "Now it looks like our Ben Shuli doesn't look like a stupid melon!" ”
Ben roared angrily and suddenly said, "It's weird, this helmet seems a little weird. ”
Johnny shouted to open Reed's one and see what it was. Reed also stopped what he was doing and asked, "Why did he give us these valuable gifts?" ”
"Hey, it's all taken in. I think that guy is good, isn't it, Ben! ”
"Humph!" The stone man did not object.
By this time, Susan had already helped Reed open the gift, and inside was an unbranded smartphone. Although the world of Fantastic Four is very technologically advanced, in fact, in terms of the era of the film, smartphones were in their infancy.
So the advent of full-screen smartphones in 2018 made Reed immediately realize that this was a high-tech device that he had never seen or even heard of.
When the smartphone was opened according to the instructions inside, Reed was convinced, "Which electronics company developed this technology?" Especially the technology used in this screen, this touch technology. ”
Susan was also a little surprised, after all, although she was a little more watery in scientific research, at least she was often exposed to this cutting-edge technology. And the smartphone in front of her has never even been seen before.
"My helmet is like this, you can try it on!"
Ben pointed to the VR headset on the table and said, "You can see a virtual 3D screen, and you can touch it with your finger and you can display information." It's been a huge help to me. After all, I always accidentally break things. And it also comes with a monitoring device for my personal information, which lets me know how hard I press it. ”
Susan looked at her brooch and seemed to realize that it wasn't something simple either. Then Reed pointed to Susan's brooch and said, "Press that button next to it." ”
"You're talking about this diamond?"
"yes, you just need to press it."
Sure enough, after the button was pressed, a 3D projection-like figure was projected from a facility on the brooch that looked like a projection lens, which was Lin Ming's 3D image, and he said: "I believe that the four of you have received the gift I gave you, I belong to a large consortium, and this time I came to seek cooperation with you." The four gifts I give you represent the latest products and strengths of our company. I'd like to arrange a time for you to meet officially. And I'll be back tomorrow, after all, I'm a fan of Mr. Reed. ”
Lin Ming's 3D projection was automatically turned off, which made the Fantastic Four stunned, and Susan couldn't help but ask, "Reed, have you heard of such a person before?" And what company do you think has such strength? Is it Apple, Dell, Intel, Microsoft, Sony or Nokia? ”
"No matter what the company is, it must be the world's top in terms of electronic product research and development. But what does an electronic technology company want? ”
"Why do you think this must be an electronic technology company?"
"By the way, haven't you noticed that in the projection just now, there is a logo on Mr. Lin's chest and a line of letters. If it is translated, it is Osborne. Have you heard of Osborne before? ”
"Could it be that it has just been established."
In fact, Lin Ming is doing an experiment, since the Fantastic Four belong to the Marvel universe, whether it is related to other Marvel movies. But now it seems that although the Fantastic Four is the Marvel Universe, because of the publisher and copyright, there is no trace of the Osborne Group in this world at all.
Reed sighed, "Let me think about this first, but I should meet him." I also want to see what kind of young person is who will become my fan. ”
"Johnny, you've been in contact with him a lot. What do you think Mr. Lin has in mind? ”
"Hehe, I think Johnny just wants to be on the front page of tomorrow's paper, I'm afraid he didn't think about anything at all." Stone Man was sarcastic, so that Thunderbolt's temper was almost set on fire.
"That's enough, you two. Now we have a lot of trouble ourselves, so we must first find out the cause of these genetic abnormalities in our bodies, and as for the cooperation, we can postpone the discussion. ”
Susan nodded, "I agree with Reed as well. What's more, we can't be sure what the other party's purpose is. ”
