Chapter 1229: The Farm of Justice (11)
The laboratory that appeared in front of Thomas was quite advanced, the problem was that it was too small and the experimental equipment was very small.
Thomas is also Batman, so he can tell that there are basically only lathes, data storage, and computing computers for basic bat gear.
It's advanced enough compared to other labs in the world, but it's not enough for Batman.
Thomas knew that his universe was earlier than here, but even so, his experimental benches and experimental facilities in the Batcave were much more advanced and numerous.
Thomas walked in and checked it out, and found that the underground of Wayne Manor, the universe, was the same, poor and shabby.
Thomas didn't find any secret doors, code doors, or other facilities underground, it was a very simple laboratory, so streamlined that Thomas even suspected that some of Bruce's equipment was hand-rubbed, because even the lathe lacked some accessories.
Thomas rummaged and searched and searched here, and finally had to admit that there was probably nothing he wanted here, so he could only walk out the door, look at Alfred and ask, "Where does Bruce usually put things?" ”
"Are you referring to his diary?" Alfred asked, smiling.
Thomas looked a little embarrassed, he shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm not trying to snoop on his privacy, I mean, where are those Batman gears?" I just wanted to see how good his research was. ”
The smile on Alfred's face did not change, but it could be seen that he had a little euphemistic phrasing in his mind, and said: "Lord Bruce is very similar to you, he is a very emotional person, he has a lot of experience in feelings, and he uses his spare time very well, and his friends praise him as a good man. ”
The more Thomas listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he looked at Alfred and said, "So, where is his bat cave?" I want to go over. ”
"In a cave in the suburbs."
"Can you help me get my car ready?"
"Of course, sir."
Alfred turned and went out, and the bad premonition in Thomas's heart did not abate, and this premonition was verified after he saw the colorful sports car of the luxurious bag.
Thomas pointed a finger at the car and said, "...... Is this the best option? What about the Batmobile? ”
"There's a little bit of a problem with the Batmobile, and it can't be driven right now." Alfred kept smiling, perhaps trying to hide his other smiles by smiling.
"Take me to see it."
"Okay."
Thomas was led by Alfred to the rear of the manor, and as he walked, he felt that something was wrong, and he said, "Isn't the garage on the other side?" Could it be that he remodeled the structure of Wayne Manor? ”
"No, sir, it's just that the Batmobile isn't in the garage."
"The Batmobile is not in the garage, it is in the ......"
As soon as he turned a corner, Thomas saw a huge pitch-black Batmobile parked on the lawn of the garden.
Tim and Jason, one with a jack and one with a crowbar, were running past him with a giant Batmobile tire, laughing like silver bells.
Thomas stared at the bat rover, which had been dismantled and only a skeleton remained, and he turned to Alfred and said, "Don't tell me that those kids did it?" ”
"I'm afraid so, sir, they have a lot of hands-on ability."
Thomas opened his mouth for a moment, he looked back at the colorful sports car parked outside the yard, looked at Alfred with some embarrassment, and said, "Is there really no option to keep a low profile?" ”
In the end, Alfred finds an old pickup truck left behind by Thomas's father and Bruce's grandfather at the end of the garage, and the heavily armed Batman Thomas is forced to reminisce about his childhood, when Gotham was still a small fishing village.
Bumpy all the way to the Bat Cave, Thomas finally found a door in the overgrown cave.
When he heard Bruce's recording asking for the password, Thomas even felt a little moved, as if his stupid son had finally learned to eat.
Thomas thought for a moment and said, "Martha? ”
"Wrong password."
Thomas frowned, coughed twice, tapped the ground with his toes, and said, "...... Thomas? ”
"Wrong password."
"Alfred?"
"Wrong password."
Thomas pondered for a moment, then tentatively said, "Aisha? Elizabeth? Dick? Jason? Tim? ”
"Wrong password, wrong password, wrong password."
A series of errors came, and Thomas was a little confused, but fortunately, he was quite well equipped with equipment.
Thomas walked to the door, fumbled around the wall, pried open a connector with a batrang, reconnected the circuit, and opened his armour to plug a socket in.
After a while, there was two "Didi" sounds from the door. opened it directly, but Thomas didn't walk in directly, but stood a little puzzled and said to himself: "I want to see what password you have set up." ”
He operated on his arm armor twice, and then, the screen lit up, and a series of data swiped over, on which Thomas keenly captured a line of logical text - "Go write your paper!" ”。
Thomas looked at the line in a bit of a daze, trying to understand the logic, but soon his father's thinking took over, and he frowned and whispered, "He won't even finish the paper, will he?" ”
Thomas stood up and strode through the door, then realized that he might have overthought it.
If Bruce can't finish writing his thesis, it means that he probably spends most of his time on scientific research, but judging by the condition of the equipment in the Batcave, Bruce should still value his thesis.
The whole Bat Cave is a half-built cave, yes, a few years have passed, this cave is still only half built, only the lower two floors are renovated, and the top is completely bare mountain.
The bat equipment placed inside is also decent, there are a lot of bat suits, batarts, bat belt accessories, etc., in the eyes of outsiders, it is already a quite magical base, but this time I came here to visit, it was a normal Batman.
Who is Batman, the most suspicious and phobia of lack of firepower in human civilization, no matter how advanced the equipment, in his place, as long as it is not weighed by the ton, it will not provide a sense of security.
After a closer visit, Thomas found that this bat cave was indeed shabby, and in his world, he often prepared many fake bat caves to lure enemies to attack, but this bat cave was not even as large as the fake bat cave he had arranged.
But it's not for nothing, in the five years that Bruce has been Batman, the biggest opponent he's met is his professor Schiller.
As a brave man, Bruce has never beaten an ordinary crayfish, and when he went out, he ran into the sunset king shrimp, scraping and scraping for five years, and finally hit a real injury.
But there are some after-effects of this process, such as Schiller, who is a scholar who values mental oppression and control more than violent means.
In the process of Bruce and Schiller torturing each other, he did not have the urge to beat the teacher, but his strong moral bottom line made him resist this impulse and continue to mentally torture Schiller.
The so-called consumer demand forces industrial upgrading, and if there is no demand, there is naturally no need to upgrade.
In the past few years, Bruce has hardly dealt with any opponents who need to be subdued with fists or force, and the opponents he encounters are basically opponents who cannot or need to be defeated by personal force alone, so naturally he does not pay much attention to equipment upgrades.
Therefore, Bruce does not have as many bells and whistles as other normal Batman's bat equipment, and his technology tree is also very crooked, most of his skills are all focused on infrastructure, rapid construction and security inside the building, and the most prominent research result is the megalometer of the Ark Reactor, but this device has been placed underground in Gotham, not in the Batcave.
As a result, Thomas only saw a few models of batsuits, regular bat equipment, and several garages full of Batmobiles.
Thomas didn't understand, what was going on with this son of his own? How could he have so many Batmobiles? Could it be that he is a drag racing enthusiast? So why throw the Batmobile in the lawn of the garden and let the child play with it?
Why Bruce has so many Batmobiles still has to start with Aisha's situation.
For a long time, this overly energetic little girl would only sleep obediently when she was racing, so Bruce and Selena had to take her out for drag racing every night.
But everyone knows that the main driver of Gotham is not afraid of the sky, even if the Batmobile looks like a next-generation tank, as long as you dare to surpass me, I must bump into you, one or two are fine, but if you single out all the night drivers of Gotham, prepare a few more Batmobiles, it is not enough to hit.
Puzzled, Thomas circled around the hills near the suburbs, but found no other facilities, and he was confident in his ability to investigate, so he felt that Bruce had not set up a bat cave that he couldn't see.
Thomas thought about the content of the previous door opening order, and he thought, since Bruce didn't choose to put a lot of time and energy into developing bat equipment, then presumably, his thesis must be very well written, right?
With this in mind, Thomas returned to Wayne Manor and asked Alfred, "How are Bruce's college grades?" If he had just graduated, his thesis would have been published, right? ”
"Mr. Bruce has chosen to continue his graduate career, his academic journey has just begun, and the future is full of hope." Alfred replied.
Thomas squinted his eyes and stared at him and said, "Ah Fu, why didn't I think that the British atmosphere on your body was so strong?" Is there anything you can't say directly? ”
"It's mostly about your physical health." Alfred pressed his lips lightly with his fingers and glanced to the other side.
Thomas's sense of foreboding grew stronger, so he simply dressed in Batman's outfit and came to Gotham University, where he went straight to the archives of the Academic Affairs Office and successfully found Bruce Wayne's name in the graduate's profile.
The first few pages are all basic information, and Thomas turns to it very quickly.
So, while unsuspectingly turning the page of grades, Thomas went into cardiac arrest.
