Chapter 966: Saving Simmons
"Is this the black stone you were talking about?" Stark wondered, surveying the stone in front of him, "It doesn't look like anything ...... special"
Before he could finish his sentence, the black stone immediately turned into a pool of black water, rolling at the bottom of the glass case a few times before returning to its original state.
"Well, that's pretty impressive. Stark exclaimed, and with a wave of his hand to the side, a glove of a steel suit flew out of his suitcase, placing it on his right hand, "Fitz, open the case and let me scan this stone." ”
"No need to scan, Tony, this is a fine mana crystal. After Fitz opened the glass case, Edward stepped forward and touched the black stone, "It's just that it has been made into a spatial teleportation device that I also can't understand by a means that I can't understand." ”
Stark ignored him, still scanning the entire stone with his steel suit gloves and said, "That's why I need to scan, what you don't understand, we may not understand, it means that this stone is made with earth technology." ”
"On Friday, tell me the results of the scan. ”
"Unknown substance, which contains powerful energy inside, can also absorb the free energy around it to replenish it. "The Stark Computer Manager reported on Friday, "There are unrecognizable human means inside, and spatial cracks are created from time to time, but they cannot be resolved due to the lack of programs." ”
Edward understood the results of Friday's scan and smiled, "Look, this is also not earth technology, or technology that Earth can't understand yet. ”
"Is there a way to find Simmons?" said Fitz anxiously, "My research results are the same as Stark's, this is a high-tech beyond Earth, or extraterrestrial magical technology, and I still have no clue. ”
"According to my understanding, this is a mana core that has directional teleportation, but lacks a magic circle. Edward said, "Somewhere on Earth, there must be technology that can artificially open portals. ”
"I thought of a place! There must be a way to open a portal!" said Fitz, who had studied the black stone for a long time, and immediately thought of a place in his mind.
"No need, as long as I find the space marker, I can open a portal that is much more stable than this stone. Edward circled around the black stone and said, "Give me a moment, and I'll study it again." ”
"Well, for this mysterious substance, magic looks more effective. Stark shrugged, "Fitz, how about giving me a tour of your lab?"
"Oh, okay. Fitz looked at Edward in a daze and replied absentmindedly, but his body was still there.
"Let's go, don't worry about your little girlfriend, I haven't seen anything Edward can't solve yet. Stark put the gloves of the Iron suit back into his suitcase and pulled Fitz out of the room.
After Stark and Fitz left, Charlie's figure appeared in the room, looked at the black stone excitedly and said, "That little scientist is right, this is extraterrestrial magic technology, and it also contains very advanced technology. It's hard to imagine how such a thing came to Earth. ”
"Resolved?" Edward asked, staring at Blackstone.
"It's done, I've completely cracked the laws of space in this plane, and from now on, you can set up a portal. Charlie smiled, "I was still struggling with how to come to this plane again next time, it is not easy to find it in the vast void, but now it is no problem." How about it? Do you need me to help you find the space marker? It's cheap, it only takes ......."
"No need, you can take your vacation first, I'll try to find the space marker myself. ”
"Well, I hope you succeed, it's not a good place to find. Charlie raised an eyebrow, then disappeared again.
Edward had never done anything to find a spatial signpost for a broken portal, which also made him interested.
The one-way portal has only one space on the side of the channel, that is, the space where the caster is located, and this kind of teleportation has no return. Two-way portals generally have two spatial landmarks, one for the entrance and one for the exit, while multi-directional portals are more complex and have multiple spatial landmarks.
Fortunately, the portal of this stone is two-way, not one-way, let alone multi-directional, and this Edward found another spatial signpost to make it easier.
Another spatial marker to find the portal is to have the caster sense the location of the portal's exit. The traditional way is to use your own spiritual network to create a virtual portal magic array, and then let the spiritual network enter it, so as to find the space landmark.
The difficulty of this method lies in the distance of transmission. If the caster's psychic network is not strong enough to dry up upon entering the portal, then he will be consumed by mana.
It's a very difficult project that no one will try easily!
But Edward was confident that he could do it, even if the other end of the portal was a distant alien planet. The demigod-level magic crystal gave him a powerful spiritual net, and even if the mana that passed through the portal was swallowed by space, it could only weaken his mana, and it was impossible for him to be counterattacked.
As soon as he thought of it, Edward sat directly in front of the black stone and began to enter a meditative state, carefully feeling the internal structure of the black stone.
Because Blackstone's portal technology is different from the magic of the native plane, it will take some time for Edward to understand this technology.
Time passed slowly in his analysis, and until noon the next day, Edward showed no sign of standing up.
During this time, the anxious Fitz came to see Edward several times, and saw that Edward had been sitting there cross-legged, so he had no choice but to leave and continue to talk to Stark about some academic issues.
When Fitz entered the Blackstone Room for the nineteenth time, he was surprised to find that Edward had stood up, and an oval portal appeared in front of him!
An agitated Fitz could even see that on the other side of the portal, there was a desert.
"You've come just in time, Fitz. Edward fixed the portal with the space orb, "Gather people, because this portal is not very stable yet, and I must maintain it here." You go in with Tony, and if you're in danger, evacuate immediately, just go through the portal and you're safe. ”
"Okay! I'll call Mr. Stark at once. Fitz was overjoyed and immediately ran out, and after a while, Stark walked in with a steel suit, along with a team of heavily armed S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers.
"Well done, Edward. Stark gave Edward a thumbs up, "Now it looks like there's an alien planet on the other side?"
"That's right, I don't know which galaxy it is, it's far away, but people can survive there, it's just that the environment is relatively harsh. ”
When Fitz heard this, his hope for Simmons' survival was greater, and he couldn't wait to tighten his equipment and want to pass through the portal.
"Oh, take it easy, man. Stark stopped him and smiled, "Let me go first, you guys will follow me." It seems that you have true love for Simmons, and you are not even afraid of this danger. My first trip to an alien planet was about to be here, and I thought it was a place with stunning scenery. ”
"Guys, let's go in now. Remember, don't panic in case of danger, and bring back a companion's body even if he dies, here is Edward. ”
With a mutter, Stark stepped into the portal without hesitation. Fitz followed, followed by the group of S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers.
In fact, the most stressed of these people was Edward.
Because the portal was so far away, even Edward would have to concentrate on maintaining the connection between the two spatial signs. Before, he boasted about Haikou, but now Edward can only grit his teeth and eat the bitter fruit of bragging.
It took a long time to hold on with a sad face before Stark came out of it with someone.
"Hi Simmons, it's nice to see you again. Edward saw Simmons coming out with Fitz and checked the number of people in the group, and immediately closed the portal.
These people are all in poor condition, not to mention Simmons who is left there, even Stark, Fitz, and the team of S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers who have just entered are very embarrassed, and some of them are even injured.
"Edward!" Simmons rushed to hug him as soon as he saw him, crying bitterly.
"It's okay, it's okay. Edward patted her on the back, quietly using the light to relieve her stress and purify her body.
"We met the men of Hydra inside. Stark put the steel suit back into his suitcase and sat down on the ground, "They entered through another portal, and there seemed to be something Hydra was looking for, presumably a person. ”
"It's Ward, you should know. Fitz took Simmons' hand, comforting and reassuring, "They attacked us, but luckily Mr. Stark was there, and he killed Ward." ”
"Is that the operative from before?" Edward had seen Ward, and he didn't have a good impression of this person when they met, "Does Hydra actually have the technology to repair teleportation?"
"Maybe I found that place. Fitz and Simmons hugged each other and comforted, "Alright, Zhenma, it's all over, you're safe now." By the way, the good news is that we're going to work at the Edward Starlight Tower in the future, with Mr. Stark. ”
"Really?" Simmons was really attracted by the topic, wiped away his tears and said excitedly.
"Of course it's true. Stark laughed, "It will be our common headquarters, and Coulson will be the commander-in-chief there, commanding the Avengers, Demon Hunters, and S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
The good news diluted Simmons' grief and lifted her up a little.
After healing the wounded S.H.I.E.L.D. soldier and asking Simmons about the planet, Edward prepared to leave and return to the Starlight Tower to preside over the merger.
"Aren't we going back in the shuttle?" Stark asked, looking at the shuttle that had taken off and disappeared into the sky, "I haven't fully experienced the facilities inside." ”
"Now let's try it out a little faster. Edward smiled, and aimed his hand directly at the black stone, taking him into his personal space - now that he was the commander-in-chief of the Demon Hunter Alliance, he wanted to take this "mana crystal" without the consent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"What's faster?" Stark thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I can't think of a faster and more comfortable way to do it than a shuttle." ”
Fitz and Simon shook their heads in the same way.
"Hehe, what do you think would be faster if we could connect the portal technology between our headquarters and branches?"
The three Starks suddenly realized, but then fell into deep thought, Stark: "Didn't you say that the portal you built was unstable? ”
"I have to admire your imagination, Tony. There are no space storms. Edward rolled his eyes and said, "Space storms are only found in the void between the two planes, how can there be such a thing between portals." The portal is unstable, and that's because the space markers are too far away. If you keep two portals connected only on Earth, a spell can last for three years! ”
"At the same time, in order to prevent this technology from falling into the hands of organizations like Hydra, I intend to use the Holy Light Portal. ”
As he spoke, Edward took out a cell phone and called Amanda, the leader of the Holy Druids in Wakanda, "Amanda, give me a Holy Light Sign." ”
"Understood, Commander!" Amanda was stunned for a moment after receiving the call, and then said excitedly, "Have you unlocked the spatial laws of this plane? That is much more convenient, this world is too big." ”
"Okay, I feel it, I'm going to open the teleportation in the basement of the central podium of the Star Tower, where there is a huge room planned as a teleportation center, go there to evacuate the crowd, and tell me when you're done. ”
"Okay, wait a minute, Captain. ”
Shortly after the call, Amanda sent a text message to Edward, who opened a portal with his open hand, and then smiled, "Who wants to experience it first?"
"That's it?" Stark looked suspiciously at the pure white, two-meter-tall oval vertical portal, "I thought it would take a lot of work." ”
Stark said, probing his head into the teleportation, and actually saw Coulson and the others standing on the other side of the portal, looking surprised.
"Hi Phil, long time no see, why are you here......"
Before Stark could finish speaking, he felt a kick in the ass, and his body involuntarily passed through the portal, and a dog gnawed mud on the other side.
"Oh, Edward, you're not a gentleman. Stark stood up and watched the grinning three Edwards come from there.
"Jenma, welcome back. Coulson saw Simmons and stepped forward to hug her, "Thank God, it's great that you're okay." ”
