Located on the west side of the university, Gotham University's High Energy Physics Laboratory is the newest and largest East Coast research facility funded by the Luther Group, where all experiments related to Gotham weather are conducted.

Although it is difficult to say whether the use of the angel aura to level all the dark clouds in Gotham is considered to be within the scope of high-energy physics, the experimental process does require some high-energy physics equipment, so Lex spent most of his study in Gotham in this laboratory.

There is a whole team of researchers studying Gotham weather, and in addition to the more talented students at Gotham University, there are also some climatologists who are interested in Gotham's special climate conditions, so they have also joined the research team of Luthor Investment.

Needless to say, Gotham has basically completed artificial climate control, and last night's heavy rain was also the result of artificial rainfall, and when he woke up this morning, Lex hurriedly put on his short sleeves and beach pants, bought a cup of coffee from the vending machine and rushed to the laboratory.

This is his daily routine in the past few years, after all, the difficulty of the subject of making Gotham see the sun is about the same as being the enemy of the whole world, even for a peerless genius like Luther, the academic pressure is very great, and he may not be able to produce such amazing results if he does not study early and dark.

After a night of rain last night, and the road was full of water, Lex stepped on a pair of slippers, kicked and tapped across the boulevard on the side of the teaching building, poured the last sip of coffee into his mouth, pinched the bottle, and threw it into the trash can at the entrance of the laboratory, Lex pushed open the door of the laboratory building.

Everyone along the way was greeting him, Lex nodded sleepily, the wind direction and humidity in Gotham were monitored last night until almost four o'clock in the morning, and now it was half past six in the morning, and Lex was sleepy and couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest.

After entering the lab, I continued to look at the data, and on the computer next to me, I checked the email that Pamela had just sent me, which was the data she had recorded for the survival of plants.

Since the sun came out of Gotham, Mayor Roy has been working on urban greening, which is known to require street shrubs, decorative flower beds, lawns and sculptural plants in addition to planting trees.

Now Lex and Pamela are actively communicating to finalize a suitable amount of sunlight for Gotham plants, as for whether it is suitable for humans, anyway, Gotham people can survive in such difficult conditions, and it is okay to get more sun and less sun.

As Lex continued to work on the materials, there was a knock on the door of the lab, and Lex looked up to see a bright smiling face, and Clarke, wearing black-rimmed glasses, walked in with a camera on one shoulder and a cup of iced coffee in the other.

"Good morning, Lex, long time no see." Clark smiled with a standard eight-tooth smile.

Lex rolled his eyes slightly, didn't say anything, Clark didn't care about his indifference at all, put down the two cups of coffee, and craned his neck to look at the information that Lex was holding.

After glancing at it and finding that he couldn't read it, Clark didn't comment, he just took out two straws from his bag, removed the paper packaging on them and threw them into the trash, and then inserted the straws into each of the two cups of coffee, pushing one of them in the direction of Lex.

"No, I've drunk it." Lex said without looking up.

Clark didn't feel embarrassed, he drank coffee while looking up at the laboratory, looking at the lamp above his head for a while, looking out the window for a while, and finally Lex couldn't stand it anymore, he put the information down, turned to look at Clark and said, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

Clark immediately laughed, and as he placed the bag he was carrying in his other hand on the table, he said, "There's something I really want you to help with." ”

Lex set his eyes on the bag he had placed on the table, it was a laptop bag, gray throughout, with a logo that Lex was familiar with.

Sure enough, Clark took a Luthor laptop out of his bag and put it on the table, and said, "This is the latest laptop from the Luthor Group that I bought a month ago, and it's so good that I finally don't have to go to the newspaper's public multimedia room to check photos and edit them." ”

"The only problem is that I have a cat and a dog, and when the two of them were fighting, they pushed their laptops to the ground, uh, I know it's impossible for a normal pet to push something that heavy on the ground, but both of them are obviously unusual."

"Little Krypton swept the laptop to the ground with a tail, and it felt very guilty because it knew how much I liked this computer, and it had cost me all my savings......"

"Can you get to the point?"

"Can you fix it for me?"

Clark rubbed his hands and looked at Lex expectantly, Lex looked at the innocent look in his blue eyes, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said, "Clark Kent, don't you think there's something wrong with asking the head of the Luthor Group to fix the Lutor Group's computer?!" Where did I buy it, and where did I send it to the warranty!! ”

After yelling, Lex picked up the information on the table angrily and continued to read, Clark scratched his head, and said with some confusion: "I didn't want to trouble you at first, but after I found the shopping guide who sold me the computer, he said that I damaged it myself and it was not covered by the warranty." ”

"I took it to another computer store to repair, and the maintenance staff said that this computer is the latest model, and they have no replacement parts there, in case the machine is disassembled, the official warranty will not be used, so let me go to the official."

"I called the Luther Group warranty again, but they said I had to send the computer to the electronic repair center in Gotham, and they checked that it was really a product quality problem before they ......could fix it for me."

Lex's hand paused as he flipped through the papers, and he sighed before putting the papers down and turning his head to look at his laptop.

Clark reached out and flipped the laptop over, and now you could see the power of Krypton's tail, the back shell of the laptop was half shattered, and the wiring and components were exposed.

Seeing this, Lex could only stand up, he walked to the table and lifted the laptop up entirely, looked left and right, frowned and said, "How could it be broken like this?" ”

"Well, my dog is a little special indeed." Clark was quite embarrassed and said: "I don't think there will be any electronic products in this world that can withstand its tail, and it's not the computer's fault, so I'm here to ask if you can do a favor in my private capacity, if you can't fix it, forget it......"

Lex frowned and glanced at him, as if he was unhappy with his use of the word "can't be fixed", but he carried his laptop to the bench next to him and began to check.

Clark also explained on the side: "That salesman heard that my dog broke it, and I still don't believe it, but I really didn't lie to him, Xiao Krypton is very sad now, but it is a good dog, and I am reluctant to criticize it......"

"Can you be quiet for a moment?" Lex impatiently took the toolbox and placed it on the table with a "bang".

Clark stopped talking, and sat across the bench with one hand on his cheek and a coffee cup in the other.

After a while, he saw Lex's face becoming more and more solemn, and Clarke's eyes widened in disbelief, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is it really so troublesome?" Or ......"

"Shut up!" Lex yelled at him again, but his eyes were staring at the computer without blinking, and he said, "I remember that the design I drew at the time was not like this, the material of this shell is defective, and the internal structure is ......"

Then Clark saw that Lex had brought a lot of equipment, wiring it, plugging it in, and disassembling the entire shell, and he was busy for about half an hour before he stood in front of the laboratory table with a gloomy face, staring at the remains of the computer motionlessly.

What appeared on the bench now really couldn't be called a computer, because it had been completely disassembled, and Clark was a little hesitant and just wanted to open his mouth, Lex said, "Don't talk, I'll give you a brand new one later." ”

"No, I'm just wondering, what's wrong with this computer?"

Lex raised his eyelids and glanced at Clark again, looking at his sincere expression, but he hesitated a little, his eyes looked to the side, pursed his lips and asked a little reluctantly, "Do you think this computer is easy to use?" ”

"It's very easy to use, it's the best computer I've ever used." Clark nodded vigorously and said, "The user interface is fantastic, and I also like the boot pattern, especially the animation where the globe pattern flashes a light, was that what you designed?" ”

"That's not the point, I'm asking you about performance."

"Then I don't know, I usually only use it to check emails and photos, and occasionally edit pictures, it is very smooth to use, I have never been stuck, and it is much better than the big head computer in our newspaper's multimedia classroom."

Lex rolled his eyes helplessly and said: "This is not at all the same as the design I drew at the beginning, the downgrade is so bad, your computer will break when it falls to the ground, just because the strength of the shell material is not up to standard." ”

"But aren't you the boss of the Luther?" Clark said with his mouth wide open, a little surprised.

Lex, on the other hand, was a little irritated, saying, "Business is complicated, and I don't have time to worry about the details, but I didn't expect them to dare to fool me." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the phone, dialed a number, and asked some questions about computer products, and then Clark heard Lex say angrily, "...... Planned obsolescence principles? That's why you made the Luthor Group products as crispy as soda crackers? And then cooperate with a large number of salesman training to invest in strict after-sales thresholds, so that I can come up with amazing sales within a quarter to fool me, a child who doesn't know anything?! ”

"Just because Wayne Group's product sales in the same period are less than half of ours, you think they can't go this way, we have no opponent?! Your short-sightedness simply shocks me! ”

"They're lacking in software, just because Bruce Wayne hasn't figured it out right now, he's not realizing the importance of human-computer interaction, and once he makes improvements in that, do you think that hard military-weapon-like electronics will be as good as the soda crackers you made?"

"I don't want to talk to you anymore, don't ask me any questions about qualifications or anything like that, the potted plants on the windowsill of my office are much smarter than yours, you can get out!"

Lex hung up the phone with a "snap", which scared Clark to the core, looking at Lex's depressed expression, Clark put his hands on the table and said, "It's not strange, right?" No one can do it all. ”

"These dumb idiots are the only legacy my dad left me." Lex hammered the table and said, "I'm going to have to make them ...... sooner or later"

"Jingle bell!"

The phone rang suddenly, and Lex turned his head to look over, walked to the phone again, picked up the receiver and said to the other side, "Hey?" Bruce? …… Well, I'll go over ...... now."

"Where are you going?" Clark asked, looking at Lex, who was packing up his things and wanted to leave.

"Rodriguez Manor."
