Chapter 20: Laser Eye
Most of Greenland is north of the Arctic Circle, so the sun is not visible during the long winters, and the closer you get to the high latitudes, the longer the polar days and nights of the year.
At this time of year, there are polar nights that can last for months, when the Northern Lights occasionally appear in brilliant colors over Greenland.
Glowing green ribbons of light sometimes spew into the sky like colorful fireworks, and sometimes dance like fairies holding colorful silk, bringing life to the night sky here.
Greenland, near the Atlantic Ocean and the southwest corner of the Davis Strait, and a little further north than the predominantly populous city of Nuuk, has a natural continental depression and is close to the sea.
The cliff structure along the coast is somewhat strange, with an olive-shaped mountain covered in a thick layer of ice that seems to be embedded in the land.
Under the endless frozen land and ice cap, there is a wolf's lair base that runs through the mountain and underground karst caves, covering an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers.
The small tunnel train leading to the Vibranium Meteorite Mountain shuttles back and forth, and countless wisps of ice-blue energy flow from the majestic core hall of the Olympian temple to all corners of the base, supplying the underground city with all the energy it needs.
.........
In the experimental area of the Howlett family's science group, Hank McCoy wears a pair of large gold-rimmed glasses, and his fan-like fluffy claws flexibly pinch a spot welding rod, adjusting and altering a strange curved object.
Scott Summers, wearing special glasses with ochre-red lenses, sat in a chair and looked at a square glass container that looked like a large fish tank, and the transparent liquid inside bubbled, floating a strange thing.
After his brother Alex left himself here in a hurry, he disappeared, leaving only Mr. "The Beast" busy making energy-binding glasses for Scott in the empty laboratory.
Knock knock...
Scott tapped the "glass jar" with his knuckles, and in his eyes that were only ruby-like, he thought it was a strange mutant fish or some kind of experimentally cultivated tissue.
Hank's voice behind him rumbled like a beast's roar, and he said in a dull voice:
"Your power is very similar to that of your brother, and the surrounding environmental energy, such as solar radiation, photons, cosmic rays invisible to the naked eye, etc., are absorbed by your body and metabolized into a shockwave that is released from your eyes.....
The power of the Summers brothers is explosive, powerful, and extremely difficult to control. Especially when it comes to his younger brother Scott, except for closing his eyes or wearing special energy-binding glasses, as long as he opens his eyes, he will project a strong ruby red impact beam, destroying anything in front of him.
Hank did a thorough assessment and examination of Scott in the lab in the Wolf's Lair today, and finally made some improvements to his previous custom-made combat glasses.
He continued to talk about how the piece worked in a scholarly spirit, not realizing that the kid's attention was all on Dr. Zola......
"There is a special mental force field in your mind that is in harmony with the power that maintains the holes that replace your eyes. As a result, your body is protected from energy particles, and even the membranes of your eyelids are enough to stop the ejected energy from causing damage to your body."
「... And the synthetic ruby quartz crystals used to make laser glasses and sunshade lenses resonate with your mental force field, and are also protected."
Scott didn't understand Hank's words at all, he picked his nose, coughed lightly, rolled up his sleeves, and actually picked up the life support box containing Dr. Anim Zola's brain, shaking it up and down.
Syllable!
"Oops!"
Scott was slapped in the head with a mechanical squeak, and he turned around screaming in pain, only to watch as a tall robot snatched the glass jar and stuffed it into the hole in his chest.
Immediately, an electronic screen lit up, and the green photons on it condensed into the appearance of a man wearing glasses, and he actually spoke.
"Where's the stinky boy! Whose child are you? I finally got the mood to 'sleep' for a while
It's all mixed up by you!"
"Oh!"
Scott was stunned for a long time like a lightning strike, then came back to his senses and fell off his chair and ran to Hank's side, his face red and his neck curled. "It's Alex's brother, I'm sorry, Dr. Zola, I patronized this laser glasses and forgot to tell him that you were in the house too."
The "beast" also glared at Scott helplessly, although he was usually amiable, almost as cute as a big cat, but it was really terrifying when he was serious.
Dr. Zola's mechanical double is very user-friendly with a waist, and it looks like a Michelin tire man compared to the earliest model more than ten years ago, and now it is much more refined.
The top of his head is a black spherical lens that can obtain a 360-degree field of vision, and the structure of his limbs is the same as that of Bucky's arm, which is extremely simulated and flexible, and in addition to daily actions, there are abundant tools and equipment that are conducive to experimentation.
The doctor took two steps forward, and Scott looked at his face reflected on the orb in the robot's skull, swallowed in embarrassment, and apologized.
"Hmm... The younger brother of the 'Shockwave' kid... I have the impression of, hum, a 'Laser Eye?' Bored! The Summers family's abilities are too boring, I'm going to find Bolívar, who has recently made a breakthrough with Subject X..."
"—Uncle Arnim! Brother Hank! Hee-hee, you're all here."
Laura's voice interrupted Dr. Zola, who led to the door of the science team's laboratory with Jean and shouted excitedly.
"Did you miss me, Uncle Anim, I recently had someone make a new set of your 'brain' dolls, and Hank's brother's too, ahem! This is her best friend, Jean Grey, who will stay at the base to study with you for a while, and her grades are great!"
The little wolf girl hurriedly pulled her close friends to introduce to Zora and Hank, Jean came to the wolf's lair base to visit on the one hand, and at the same time, she hoped to work and study with a large number of outstanding scientists here for a short time as an intern. "Dr. Zola, Dr. McCoy, it's an honor to meet you, and I've read both of your research works on genetics."
Jean greeted Hank and Dr. Zola, two famous genius scientists, politely, and glanced at the bespectacled young man with a slightly strange look, and he didn't move his head as soon as he entered.
Although he didn't know where his eyes were looking under those strange glasses, Jean keenly sensed that the boy was staring at her.
"Huh? Who are you, new researcher?"
Laura also saw the stupid Scott, and asked strangely while grabbing Hank's mane and combing it like he did when he was a child, Scott finally realized that he should behave decently, cleared his throat and forced himself to calm down:
"Ahem, hello Miss Howlett, and Miss Grey, I'm Scott Summers 'Cyclops', and I'll be your classmate soon."
The beast couldn't help but snort, the kid was so quick to take Dr. Zola's casual nickname as his "real name", regardless of the fact that the word was a bit unscientifically accurate to describe his abilities.
"Summers? Alex's boy's brother, how is that, that sounds pretty good."
Seeing that Laura had forgotten about business, Jean patronized to ask Scott how capable he was, whether he had ever fought in actual combat, and had some thoughts of taking him to the training room to fight now, so he had to say to Hank:
"Dr. McCoy, Mr. Howlett said to be waiting for you in the core hall."
"Oooh! By the way, I still have something to do, but I can't keep my sir waiting, Summers, your glasses are ready, take them to the energy test hall to try them out."
"And Laura! I haven't been here lately, so if you and Miss Grey have anything to tell Dr. Zorra, don't mess with anything in the lab!" Hank bowed slightly and jumped out naturally, scurrying out more than ten meters away like a tiger, striding out, leaving Scott, who seemed to want to say something more, was being led by Laura to the base training area where he tested his combat power.
.........
In the core hall of the Wolf's Lair base, James Howlett sat on the square and quaint vibranium throne.
He watched as several winter wolf warriors accompanied the researchers into the hall with a huge ice-blue condensed energy body, ready to use it to replace the cosmic cube that was about to be taken out and continue to power the base.
Slowly getting up and walking down, James pulled out a small platform from the center of the H-shaped pattern in the middle of the hall floor, inserted his palm into the groove, and twisted the disc.
With a series of complex biological and spiritual traces identified, the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, which was only more than twenty centimeters in size, finally emerged from the cascading open secret box.
The misty glow shone on James's face, and he groaned and directly grabbed the Rubik's Cube Rough Stone, an infinite energy source that could not be touched without a certain essential strength of life, seemed to be just a glowing stone in James's hands.
He held the Rubik's Cube in front of him and looked at it carefully for a long time, his face was slightly condensed, and his five fingers gradually strengthened, as if he wanted to ......
Crush it.
