Hodge never knew that after being fascinated by reading books, it would really make people forget to sleep and eat. He used to have a headache when he read a book, and he was drowsy, and he had no energy at all.

But now, waiting for the librarian to remind him, he lifted his head from the stack.

"Sir, it's getting dark, I'm shutting the door."

The Administrator was a girl about the same age as Hodge, with jet-black hair and a delicate appearance, with pale blue pupils like a clear spring.

Hearing the girl's words, Hodge looked through the window, and by this time the stars were already shining outside, and the library was silent, only himself and the girl with a smile on his lips next to him.

"Sorry, I'm a little confused." Hodge smiled awkwardly, and then quickly sorted out the mountains of books on his desk.

"It's okay, just let me pack these books." The girl smiled.

"You're welcome, the two of us are faster, and you can get home early, won't you?" Hodge quickly cleaned up the books on the table as he skillfully put them back in place.

Seeing Hodge's unjerky movements, the girl's eyes flashed with a strange look, then picked up a book lying on the table, looked at the title, and said with some surprise: "Are you studying mechanical engineering?" ”

However, as soon as she finished saying this, she was attracted by the second book on biological genetics and computer-related books, and the girl suddenly felt that her head was a little big, and her gaze at Hodge became unkind.

Originally. The girl still has a very good impression of Hodge, a tall and handsome sunny boy, especially when he reads carefully, he looks obsessed. It made her heart 'flutter'.

In order to get close to this boy who made her feel good, she even took away her good sister who came to volunteer with her in advance, just to get along with the boy in front of her more, and if she could develop further, of course, it would be better.

Unexpectedly, this boy turned out to be in vain, doing this eighty percent to attract the attention of an ignorant stupid girl, and he was the stupid person who was attracted!

Come to think of this. The girl's mood became even worse.

Hodge was quickly putting the book back in place, he didn't notice the change in the demeanor of this beautiful girl, if he knew about it, this girl who smiled so well arranged him in his heart. Eighty percent will be very depressed.

After hearing the other party's question, Hodge naturally said: "Biological genes, mechanical engineering, computers, artificial intelligence, these knowledge are like a clear spring, cool and sweet." ”

Hodge took a deep breath. He looked intoxicated. "And I'm the traveler who hikes in the desert and longs for that clear spring." ”

Looking at Hodge's relaxed and natural appearance, the girl was stunned for a moment, feeling as if the other party was not pretending. However, this vacillation was quickly suppressed in her heart, she still didn't believe that Hodge could read so many books at such a young age, and who knows if this guy had practiced this sentence many times.

The girl hugged a stack of books, just a simple "oh", and then left quickly with small steps.

For the girl's reaction. Hodge didn't care, after putting the last book on the table back in its place. He said hello to her and left in a hurry.

After coming out of the library, Hodge looked around and found a nearby burger joint to settle his dinner.

When she got home, Melissa wasn't there, and Hodge didn't think much of it, after all, she only stayed at her house on weekends or the next morning, when classes were late, and she usually lived in the school dormitory.

Looking at the empty home, Hodge thought about it and flew directly to his base in Antarctica, after all, the general framework there has been built, but the energy supply and electrical facilities inside need to be installed by himself.

Regarding energy, Hodge had already thought about it, just go to Tony and ask for one, after all, he has many energy reactors in his hands.

Like the Ark reactor and the new reactor his dad left him, and the fusion reactor he developed with Doctor Octopus.

Among the three reactors, the Ark reactor was directly eliminated by Hodge, after all, the reactor's quality was much weaker than Tony's second-generation energy source, and the energy supply gap compared to the nuclear fusion reactor was very large.

However, among the latter two, although the new energy reactor was inspired by Tony's father from the Cosmic Cube, there is still a big gap between the energy supply and the nuclear fusion.

After all, a nuclear fusion reactor can supply the city of New York with the full power of electricity for 80 years! You must know that this full power consumption refers to the fact that all the electrical equipment used in New York City is turned on, and then it takes 80 years of non-stop work to consume it!

If it is used by individuals, in the case of Hodge's own private real room, it can last for 5,000 years!

On top of that, Hodge also needs nuclear fusion energy to drive the machines he makes, after all, if they want to meet Hodge's requirements, if they don't stop working, the amount of energy consumed is also very considerable, so Hodge must have a huge energy source.

It doesn't matter how high the quality of this energy source is, as long as it is large enough and sufficient.

With this in mind, Hodge went to Tony before flying to Antarctica.

Finding a random rooftop with no one, Hodge called him directly, after all, although Tony was mostly in Stark Industries in New York, if nothing else, he would usually return to California.

And now, maybe he's still on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Sky Carrier. So for convenience, Hodge called directly.

"Hodge, what's wrong?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Hodge heard Tony's flirtatious voice, as well as the cacophony of voices and music on the other end of the line.

Hearing these voices, Hodge was helpless, this guy hooked up with a beautiful woman at a drinking party again.

"Can you find a quiet place?" Hodge sighed.

"Of course." Tony answered, and after a while, Hodge listened to the phone and finally quieted down, and then said, "Where are you?" I want you to give me a fusion energy furnace. ”

"Energy furnace? Okay, no problem, when? Hearing that Hodge asked for the energy furnace, Tony didn't ask Hodge what he was going to do, and nodded in agreement.

Hearing Tony on the other end of the phone without the slightest hesitation, Hodge's heart warmed, although Tony was a little prodigal, but he really had nothing to say about the friends he agreed with.

"For now, the sooner the better." Hodge said.

"OK, come to Stark Industries Sector 23, where fusion is the only place." (To be continued......)
