Marie Curie, Newton, and Dante all left.

They went back with some of their keys, and although they didn't get all of them, it was enough. In fact, they had long prepared for the worst, that is, whoever failed to get the key, no one would be able to enter the lunar space and get the sage legacy.

Now the situation is better than expected, at least I have some of the keys in my hands!

Alex is the biggest winner of this deal, and the inheritance treasure or something, that's all a no-brainer. No matter how big the pie is, it is also painted, and only the candy in the stomach is real.

He's now tasting the candy.

The first is that magical piece of metal, a metal that is said to be able to give various concepts. When Alex got the metal, he naturally got the method of forging, which was a kind of alchemy.

As a bonus, alchemy is quite interesting. Even Alex, a layman, could feel that alchemy was pointing to the greatness of the mysteries of the universe.

The so-called alchemy, in fact, is a variant of alchemy that spread from the East to the West, and it was once a technical means left over from ancient civilizations, and it has evolved into a branch of alchemy after thousands of years.

It is divided into three parts, the first is to analyze all things in the world, and then to decompose and then reshape. In this process, energy needs to be consumed, and alchemy also has its own cultivation methods.

Fortunately, Alex's ripple energy can also be driven, after all, the Immortal Dao Breathing Method is the energy of alchemy, and it is very compatible with alchemy, without the slightest problem.

Alex received a copy of the Alchemy Encyclopedia from Lord Newton. Through it, you can learn the so-called alchemy, which can then be used to forge that all-powerful metal.

Before Lord Newton left, he asked him to show him what alchemy was like. At that time, Newton was seen clasping his hands together and then slapping the floor, and something surprising happened, a statue grew out of thin air on the ground.

That's the Statue of Liberty! A statue of Lady Liberty that has shrunk many times over!

Seeing this process, Alex was very surprised, he almost thought that he had entered the world of "Steel". However, a closer comparison shows that there are still many differences. At least he didn't see the appearance of the refining array. There is no pattern. There are not so many photoelectric effects.

Afterwards, Alex carefully inspected the floor, and sure enough, he found that a large circle around the statue was lower. Newton's alchemy still had to obey the law of conservation of mass, and he did not change much of matter. Nor does it change the properties of matter. It's just a change in the shape of matter.

Even so. That's a pretty big thing.

Learning something, for Alex, is a small thing. He finished reading the book in no time. mastered the skills in the "Encyclopedia of Alchemy", and also relied on the gourd to draw the scoop to turn the statue into nothing, and the floor was restored to its original state.

As for the forging of that piece of metal, he hadn't figured out what to do yet. When I think of it, I'm going to get it.

Then there are the Power Gems, which are amazing! It has the property of converting mass into energy, and it can output many times the amount of energy that is input.

After Marie Curie's explanation, Alex learned the art of how to use this gemstone. If he controls it well, he only needs to have this gem on his body, and he will have a steady stream of ripple energy.

It was the turn of the "Holy Spirit Law" at the end, and in fact, the value of this book was among the three things, which was slightly lower. Not highFor Alex, it's almost like tailor-made.

The exercises for exercising the body already have the Immortal Dao Breathing Method, and as for the exercises for the spiritual soul, it has to rely on this "Holy Spirit Method". According to the introduction of this book, after practicing this technique to the fullest, it can make people rainbow and ascend to heaven, transcending the material world and becoming an eternal and immortal existence.

Even if it can't reach the level of rainbow ascension, it can make people's souls extremely powerful, and even if it unfortunately falls halfway, it can also make people's souls heroic and survive for a long time.

Many people want to go down this path, such as Dante, Jonathan, Angelina, etc. Although they don't necessarily all practice this kind of exercise, they are all the same. After cultivating the Immortal Dao Breathing Method to the extreme, there are similar exercises, and Angelina and Lao Dao must have cultivated. It's just that the Holy Spirit Law is more subtle and more difficult to cultivate.

From Dante's practice of being a ghost or a ghost, you know how difficult it is to walk. It must have gone wrong in the middle of the way, and as a result, I had to give up my body and keep changing from this body to that body.

Alex didn't have the idea of replacing the Immortal Dao Breathing Method with the Holy Spirit Method, he just wanted to refer to this kind of exercise and choose the path that suited him.

At the beginning, Lao Dao said that he didn't want Alex to follow the same path, which could lead people astray. Only by following one's own path can we be the most suitable and correct.

In this era of the end of the law, the road opened up by the predecessors still has fallen into a dead end, and it can no longer be walked out. Only by opening up a new road can we get out of a new world.

Alex didn't want to repeat the path of his predecessors, he wanted to follow his own path.

After reading the Spirit, he gained a new understanding of the body, spirit, and soul, which was based on his own experience and then condensed from the views, methods, and experiences of his predecessors.

In a way, Alex has taken a new path of his own.

His cultivation not only greatly improved his abilities, but also expanded them in new ways.

For example, he didn't know how to embody the objects in the spiritual space, but since he cultivated the revised version of the "Holy Spirit Law", he can now project the objects in the spiritual space, and if he doesn't reach out and touch them, he can't feel whether they are real or false.

Alex waved his hand, and suddenly there was an extra person in front of him.

Yes, indeed a person.

Unfortunately, this is not a living person, but a projection of a puppet.

Under his control, the puppet behaves exactly like a real person. Even if he doesn't pay attention to the doll. It is also able to move and think on its own......

"Well, it looks like it can be used as an illusion." Alex said to himself, "If only it could be truly embodied, then get a clone to play!" ”

As for projecting inanimate objects, he still has an idea, but he hasn't realized it yet.

Immersing yourself in the path of exploring the unknown will soon make people forget the passage of time, and more than half a year has passed in a blink of an eye. During this time, Alex was in cultivation, and the uninterrupted Immortal Dao Breathing Method made his body stronger and stronger. The cultivation of the "Holy Spirit Law" made his spirit and soul solidify a lot. Even to the point of being out of the body.

The improvement of spiritual power and the growth of the soul have an obvious impact on ability, but this is nothing, and what makes him feel very excited. When he found a way to make objects in mental space projected. The real embodiment becomes the real thing.

The solution is simple. It is to combine alchemy with his abilities. When he wanted a table, he simply made the wood around him with alchemy.

For Newton and others, the biggest problem for the alchemists. It's not about energy, it's not about analysis and decomposition, it's about dealing with details when remodeling.

After all, the imagination of ordinary people loses most of the details, and when they reshape objects, if the details are deviated, it is likely that the things created by alchemy will be very different from the actual objects.

The solution to such problems by Newton and others is that practice makes perfect! Only by refining a certain thing or a certain type of thing many times can it be used in ordinary times, and the created object will not have so many defects.

Such a problem is a trivial matter for Alex, and it is not even a problem.

When he combined his abilities with alchemy, his abilities increased dramatically, plus ripple energy and gems. That's not much weaker than the big boss in "Steel", he can refine all kinds of objects at will, whether it is a simple structure such as tables, chairs, boxes, etc., or complex appliances such as radios, televisions, refrigerators, etc.

Except for one thing, he can't refine it, and that is that he can't refine things that have life. He can't train the puppet into a living thing, which may be a limitation, or maybe he hasn't figured out the problem yet.

All in all, in addition to generating matter out of thin air and refining life, as long as there is something in his spiritual space, he can refine it.

He can do almost anything.

When Alex mastered this technique, he had such an idea, and he felt that this world was starting to be a little interesting. But that wasn't enough, he made it even more interesting.

He decided to make "Iron Man" out!

But before that, he wants everyone to know what Iron Man is, and then make something like this out. When the time comes, he wants to see how ordinary people react, how parents and siblings react, how grandparents react, and how people at the top of the pyramid react.

Alex was excited to think about it, what a fun thing it would be if one day he could fly in the sky or the universe in Iron Man armor.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly made a call and asked someone to come over. The guy he called was named Stan? Lee, the master of comics in Marvel Comics, had a contact with each other, but it didn't last long.

Stan? Lee was surprised, because he didn't know why Alex was looking for him, and when he rushed over, he realized that he hadn't shaved and changed his clothes, and his whole person looked very sloppy.

"You're looking for me?" Stan Lee looked at Alex with some uneasiness, after all, his work and net worth were in the hands of the other party.

Alex glanced up at the other party and asked, "I asked you to draw that Iron Man before, where are you now?" How's it selling? ”

After acquiring Marvel Comics and taking a stake in DC Comics, Alex communicated with Stan Lee and personally worked on several comics. It's more about giving Stan Lee some advice and tips, including "Iron Man", "Fantastic Four" and so on.

When Stan Lee heard this question, his heart finally calmed down, it turned out to be such a thing, he almost scared people to death. He thought for a moment, and then said: ""Iron Man has been published for more than 50 issues in a row, due to lack of manpower. It can only be changed from the original semi-monthly issue to a monthly issue. As for sales, it should be pretty good. ”

"Well, let's have more. I think it will be changed to three issues in January, and they will be published on the 10th, 20th, and 30th respectively, and as for the problem of manpower, I will increase it. "Alex wants people to know about "Iron Man", so naturally he wants to launch more related comics.

Stan? After hearing this, Li frowned and said, "It doesn't seem appropriate to arrange it like this. It's not a matter of artistry, it's screenwriting. If we can't do it. I'm afraid it will smash the brand of "Iron Man". ”

Alex nodded, and he said: "I have also considered this problem, and the screenwriter of "Iron Man" naturally has to add more manpower. However, I will be involved in the creation of the story outline and character design. You can rest assured about this. ”

Stan? Li Ben wanted to say a few more words. But when I think of the natural talent that Alex once showed. He quickly closed his mouth and stopped speaking to dissuade him. He is also full of hope for Alex to join. At least he was looking forward to the opportunity to work together.

"Smack!"

Unexpectedly, Alex threw out a thick piece of scratch paper, some of which were full of words, and some of which drew some character designs or scene designs.

In Stan Lee's surprised eyes, he said: "This is the story outline and character settings I set, as well as part of the comic content, it is estimated that more than ten issues can be made like this." You take it back and show them, and if you have any questions, you can always communicate with me. ”

Since he was able to truly embody the objects in the mental space, there are many things that he can skip steps in the real space and take them out directly from the mental space. For example, if you want to write a novel, you need to write the puppet in the mental space first, and then embody it into reality.

The same is true for drawing comics, as long as you have paper and ink, and then you can put your hands together to bring out everything that the puppet has drawn.

This ability is very convenient!

Stan? Li flipped through the scratch paper on the table, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he became, as the chief cartoonist of Marvel Comics, he could naturally see how valuable the things in his hands were. Especially the character settings, storylines, and tight rhythm in it, etc., made him crazy to watch.

However, he soon found a problem: "This Iron Man is not much different from our previous story setting, and the character setting can also be fooled, but the style of the picture is probably a little difficult." ”

"Oh? How hard is it? Alex asked.

"Our current comic style is all in pursuit of freshness and neatness, if we suddenly change back to the original style, it is estimated that we will lose some readers, the most important thing is the legal issues, and the problem of public opinion pressure and so on."

With that, Alex understands Stan? What worries Lee is something. After all, the American comics of their era have not yet passed the darkest period, and they are still subject to the relevant legal provisions and the close attention of the media. In particular, under the influence of Alex, American comics took a different path, and it even had a bit of the style of later generations.

In Stan? In Lee's eyes, Alex's "Iron Man" comics and settings are obviously in the same vein as the old American comics, but they have just been transformed for a few years, and if they go back, I am afraid that there will be some mistakes, and the Marvel Comics company will be finished.

Actually, Stan? Li Wanquan doesn't have to worry. Historically, by this time, American comics had gotten rid of the constraints of relevant legal provisions and the pressure of media public opinion, and entered a glorious period. It's just because of Alex that this time came a little later.

When Alex realizes this, he decides to use his influence to correct everything in question. He smiled at Stan? Li said: "You don't have to worry, just do what I want." There won't be any problems. ”

Stan? Li Jiang was suspicious, and after returning to Marvel Comics, he did what Alex ordered, and then watched the reactions of all aspects with concern, one is the impact of relevant legal provisions, and the attention of media public opinion, as well as the acceptance of readers.

Surprisingly, the law was revoked on its own, as if it had been suggested that such regulations were too culturally restrictive, and that people reflected on the devastation caused by the McCarthyist movement and the idea of freedom in this era led to a change in the law.

This kind of silent change, so that many people have not even reacted, has been completed, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a miracle in history.

There is also the media public opinion, which did not pay attention to their comic industry at all, and stared at the events that happened on the battlefield in Vietnam. As for the dark side of humanity reflected in the comics, it is simply trivial compared to war. Now that the news is on television, the massacre is not just a matter of how many people have died all day long, and the media simply can't afford to be angry with their little cartoons.

For the reader, the reaction is very violent. After many years, people see the familiar style and content again, which is a hundred times more refreshing than eating watermelon on a hot day. At this time, American comics, due to the blow, have lost more than 90% of the comic companies, and the rest are also following the trend to draw some more relaxed comic styles.

In other words, authentic American comics are long extinct, and how can they not be thrilled when they see this new Iron Man from Alex!

All of a sudden, the issues of "Iron Man" launched by Marvel Comics sold like crazy, and it almost became expensive in Luoyang. Seeing this situation, many cartoonists exclaimed: "The spring of American comics has arrived!" (To be continued......)
