Chapter 571: Lex's Gotham Journey (Part I)

After leaving Schiller's office, Lex began to think about how to accomplish the project.

To be honest, he had no educational experience, and all the knowledge he had before that had been taught by himself during the time he had left Onnell.

When his father was still alive and still giving him medicine, he would pretend to hire some governess for him, but those governesses knew that they were just a tool used by Lai Onnell to show his father's love, and who would concentrate on teaching such advanced knowledge to an autistic child? No one would think that Lex could learn.

So, he didn't know exactly how to carry out research on a topic, but, aside from the prescribed process, as long as the goal of the project was achieved, then Lex felt that he could still do it.

First, he has about equal to unlimited wealth, which has solved most of the problems, and is no longer subject to cost input, but just to solve problems wholeheartedly, and Lex is able to use all his wisdom, a 16-year-old genius boy believes that in this situation, there is nothing he cannot do.

Before he could start his experiment, he needed to make some preparations, first of all, to find a place to experiment, and Lex felt that since he was now a student at Gotham University, it should be possible to borrow Gotham's laboratory.

Then he found out that Gotham University's laboratory could no longer be called a laboratory, and in the words of high emotional intelligence, Gotham University's laboratory should be just right for Galileo to do experiments.

Gotham University has a total of two old laboratory buildings, located at the back of the academic affairs building, on the surface, both buildings are very large, one is 6 stories high, the other is 7 stories high, and has more than 20 laboratories.

But when he walked in, he found that there was no modern equipment to use, and there were hardly any teachers and students doing experiments there.

Everyone is crowded into the new laboratory building on the westernmost side to do experiments, but the laboratory building is relatively small, and there are only 5 floors to use, and there are only 7 laboratories, so far, each corresponding to a department, and there are no spare laboratories for Lex to do experiments.

In this case, Lecks is not confined to Gotham University, he thinks, there should always be several research institutes or research institutes in a megacity, right?

Just like the metropolis, in addition to the central research institute, the metropolis also has many private research institutes, and will also accept some individual researchers, and borrowing equipment only needs to be paid, and Lex is not short of money.

Then he found out that he really underestimated Gotham, he bought all kinds of maps, asked all kinds of people, and then made sure that there was not a single institute here, and the last research institute that appeared in the city was a European seminary.

Gotham is not a city where technology is the pillar industry, or rather, the technology pillar of the entire city is all dependent on Batman alone, and he alone will top a city, and now, most of Gotham's high-tech equipment is made by him.

Of course, there was no way for Lex to borrow a lab from Bruce, he had to find another way.

It is not difficult to build a new laboratory building with his financial resources, or to start a research institute on his own, but it takes time, even if he donates a laboratory building to Gotham University, it will take at least a year to build it, and Lecks can't wait that long.

After searching and searching, he finally found a place that was barely usable, and that was Victor's cryogenic laboratory.

Victor has been here for a long time, and his cryogenic laboratory is a little bit of his own remodeling, located in the basement, 1st and 2nd floors of the second old laboratory building, which can meet all his own experimental needs.

As another super genius, Victor has built his base very well, although he is not a supervillain Freezer now, he has all the freezers, cold storage, and weapons arsenals that he should have, as well as most of the equipment that can be used for physics and chemistry experiments.

Victor and Bruce have a good relationship, so a lot of advanced equipment is obtained from Bruce, at the cost of some cryogenic technology.

In addition, Victor earns extra money for gangster work in his spare time, as well as the realization of his cryogenic patented technology, and now he is very rich, so his cryogenic laboratory is even developing in the direction of the bat cave, and the equipment of each subject is very complete, and occasionally teachers from other departments will come to borrow it, so the reputation of this laboratory has spread.

When Lex heard about it, of course, he wanted to borrow this laboratory, so he went to Victor, but Victor refused.

In Victor's eyes, Lex is just a freshman, he hasn't even taken a basic class, so what's the need to do experiments? And experiments are not child's play, there are still a lot of dangerous things in Victor's laboratory.

As soon as he heard that Lex was only 16 years old, Victor refused without thinking about it, and it was impossible for any responsible teacher and researcher to let an underage child run into his own professional laboratory, which was not only irresponsible for his own laboratory equipment but also irresponsible for the safety of the other party's life.

Will Lex give up on this? Of course he doesn't, he's not a Batman, he's not a superhero, he doesn't have any moral burden, he wants to achieve his ends, and he'll do whatever it takes to do it.

So, on the night after being rejected by Victor, Lex went straight into the experimental building.

In Lex's opinion, Victor is just an ordinary scholar, and it is useless for him to disagree, anyway, Lex has a way to open the door and sneak in, and when the time comes, the equipment here will be used by him.

After entering the first floor of the laboratory building, as Lex expected, there was no special equipment here, it looked like an ordinary laboratory building, after opening the first room, the preparation room also looked unremarkable, Lex went in to change clothes, and by the way, he also found a catalog of utensils.

He flipped through the catalogue and found that the cold storage for some special chemicals was on the basement level, so he came to the staircase on the first floor.

As soon as he walked down a few steps, a biting chill came from below, and Lex shivered.

But he thought that where there is cold storage, the temperature will be lower than other places, and it is normal for him to just go down and get something, and he won't stay for a while, and he will come up soon.

An hour later, Victor sighed as he looked at the Lykes Ice Wither, who was frozen at the door of the cold storage on the basement floor.

Ricks was still alive inside the huge block of ice, and not only that, but his eyes could move, and he stared at Victor, obviously realizing that the elegant and kind professor in front of him was not the ordinary scholar he thought he was.

"My cold storage is different from other places, you have to wear special protective clothing to enter, especially special gloves to touch the doorknob, otherwise you will be frozen in the ice like you." Victor put on a pair of gloves and went to wring the doorknob in front of Lex.

Lex's eyes fell on the doorknob, he was planted here, he went down the stairs, and then all the way to the cold storage, without thinking about it, he went to twist the doorknob, intending to open the door, and then he was frozen in an instant.

Lex had never seen or heard of such a technique that could freeze a person into a huge block of ice in an instant, and he didn't feel any signs of discomfort now, not even cold, his physiology and mind were normal, just completely immobile.

This technique is a miracle for him, and it is because he knows how powerful it really is.

But Victor didn't care, he changed into a protective suit, walked into the cold storage, took a gun from it, and with a "Hugh", a ray of light came out and hit directly on the ice where Lex was.

With a snap, the ice shattered, and Lex stumbled twice when he landed, but he barely stood still.

"How the hell is this done?" Lex turned left and right, looking at the ice cubes on the ground, which seemed to him to be less like ice cubes and more like a high-density crystal like a diamond.

"You should answer my question first, what the hell are you doing here? You're supposed to call Lex, right? Freshman, didn't anyone tell you this was a no-go zone at Gotham? ”

"I would like to borrow the laboratory and complete a project assigned by Professor Schiller." Lex replied.

Hearing Schiller's name, Victor frowned, he took a few steps back, looked at Lyks, and found that although Lex looked very thin and pale, there was a different kind of light in his eyes.

The last person to be assigned homework by Schiller was Bruce, and Victor knows very well how talented Bruce is, does Schiller think that the teenager in front of him is similar to Bruce?

Victor suddenly became interested, he turned around and walked back to the counter, took a suit from it, threw it to Lex, and said, "Come in with me, I'll ask you a few questions, and if you can answer them, I can lend you the lab." ”

Lex didn't say anything, just silently put on his protective suit and walked in, and after that, the scene in the laboratory was even more eye-opening for him.

Gotham is a strange place, and the gap between rich and poor here is not only manifested in the architecture of the city and the ecology of the citizens, but also in terms of technology.

The other laboratory building next to this building is dilapidated, as if dreaming back to the Middle Ages, but the laboratory used by Victor here looks like an alien laboratory that was moved from a flying saucer.

The overall wall is gray-blue, made of a metal that Lex can't see the source, and the connection between the walls is made of the same high-density crystals as before, and every two metal plates have a light strip that emits a cold light.

There are four rows of experimental benches, facing the same direction as the four walls, and in the center of the room is a huge machine that opens up the floor slab between the two floors, fixed between the ground on the first floor and the ceiling on the second floor, and a blue liquid swells in the middle, exuding a dreamlike light.

Next to the huge machine are two consoles with dizzying buttons, rows of filing cabinets near the windows, and a special table for test tube racks, on which a variety of reagents glow.

In short, if you wake up in such a laboratory one day, then the creature that walks in to examine it does not have six legs, thank goodness.

Just as Lex was looking around the laboratory, suddenly, the door to the laboratory was opened, and another thin figure walked in, holding a stack of papers in his hand, and said:

"Professor Victor, all the materials I brought back yesterday are all done, are you still in the No. 2 cabinet?"

Lex turned around, and he and the visitor were stunned for a moment, and Lex saw that it was a thin boy who looked younger than his age, with a pale complexion, and somewhat gloomy eyes shrouded in the arch of his eyebrows.
