Chapter 17 Safety First

"Landau, you'd better tell me what he's doing right now."

Tony said, the flames of vengeance burning around him, and he looked at his Mark 2 armor warily.

Landau explained, "Connors is manipulating your Warframe, don't be afraid. ”

"Connors, if you can see the world, you can feel the world." Landau instructed Connors on how to do it.

Through the high-definition camera, Connors saw his body, a tail dragging on the ground.

"My body!"

The mechanical synth was full of Bella, and both Landau and Tony could hear Connors's urgency and turned their heads to look at his body.

Just by breathing, Connors's body has become a lizardman, only it is not as burly as before, but instead it has become elongated, and the scale armor is more detailed, more like a lizard.

The lizardman spat out the snake letter, his pupils constricted, and he let out a sharp cry, and fled directly through the wall, leaving a sentence: "Connors, since you betrayed your original intention, then I will take your body." ”

Landau stopped Tony, who was about to rush out, and shook his head silently.

"Connors, I'm sorry to tell you that your body doesn't belong to you anymore." Landau scratched his nose and said with some guilt: "To be exact, your genes don't belong to you anymore." ”

After the high-pitched, shrill sound of electricity, Landau heard Connors's voice, "Dr. Landau, will I always be in this iron shell?" ”

Turning around and inviting Connors back to the table, he whispered to Tony, "You still haven't lifted the transformation, are you so afraid that your armor will move?" ”

Tony, who realized it later, realized that he had been maintaining the appearance of the Evil Spirit Rider, and quickly lifted his transformation and sat down.

After considering the wording, Landau told Connors what had just happened from the perspective of magic.

The potion invented by Connors is indeed useful, but because of the magic that has been applied, it will cause the difference between the front and back is too great, and even after returning to human form, he cannot have sound limbs.

Take the opportunity to warn Tony once again that if he ventures into unknown magic, he will most likely lose everything like Connors.

"Death is not the most terrible thing, the terrible thing is that you will lose the family who loves you, your friends, and the cause you have fought for all your life."

Landau's gaze turned from Tony to Connors, and he was relieved: "Connors, the good news is that you are not only alive at the moment, but you are also living well, you have not lost your personality, and you have a chance to come back in the future. ”

"The bad news is... You'll have to work cloning technology, and even human medicine, or you'll have to wait a long time. ”

Mark 2 raised his hand and waved, and the electronic synthesis voice came, "According to Dr. Landau, I am already the greatest luck to survive." ”

"I have to say, you're as knowledgeable as ever." Connors praised Landau, and then asked, "I wonder what Dr. Landau has on cloning technology, or human medicine?" ”

Connors's little abacus has been brought to the fore, and Landau is not easy to avoid.

After thinking about it, Landaus decided to reveal some of his details, after all, he didn't hold back his desire to talk at the beginning.

From a true god to a genius who has left a name in history before, Landau has learned from countless sages for a thousand years, and in the process of continuous accumulation, he has created the current self.

"I'm just a slightly smarter person, not a genius."

Landau stared at Connors's visor and confessed, "It takes genius to advance science, not a talent like me." ”

Tony's face was full of pride, and he sighed sheepishly, "Dr. Landau is not omnipotent. My poor Connors, it seems that you can only wait for me to save you. ”

After a moment of discussion, Connors decided to start the preliminary research himself, while the other two went about their own business.

Tony opened the portal to his office and gentlemanly asked Landau to go first, "The old man goes first." ”

Closing the portal, Tony approached Landau and whispered, "Why don't you chase that lizardman?" Is there some god behind him? ”

"Tony, don't you think what happened to Connors is like a man?"

Landau sat casually on the couch and said aloud, "Jarvis, show your Tony master the picture in the laboratory." ”

A screen stretched overhead, and Peter was following Otto to receive his teachings.

Tony walked into the bar, poured a glass of rum, and asked suspiciously, "You mean, Peter will also become like Connors and end up being a monster?" ”

"Not necessarily."

Landau can't say for sure, judging from the current plot alone, this world should be more biased towards the MCU, but it is only biased.

A thousand years of butterfly effect, coupled with the words of the ancient one, Landau now can't judge the direction of the plot, let alone infer it.

"A trivia that Connors is a friend of Otto," Landau stared at Dr. Otto on the screen and took Tony's drink, "and both of them will be Peter's teachers." ”

Landau's words kept mentioning Peter, and Tony naturally understood what Landau meant.

"Wait, according to your meaning, wouldn't Otto and I be like Connors."

Tony frowned and walked over to Landau, looked up at the screen and said, "I'm so smart, it's only natural to be targeted by the mysterious side." But what is Otto for? ”

On the screen, Peter happens to ask about one of Otto's experimental models, and Otto is confidently explaining to Peter.

Landau saw the blueprint and immediately went to the lab with Tony.

As soon as he walked into the laboratory, Otto's confident and loud voice resounded through the room, "Peter, my invention will make the world progress, and the power of the sun will reappear in my hands." ”

"What an amazing invention, Dr. Otto."

Tony applauded, walked up to Peter and Otto, and wondered, "The question is, how do you restrain the strong forces between the nuclei?" ”

Dr. Otto held his head high and replied confidently, "Since you and the Russian are all right, so can I." ”

Tony turned around and nodded at Landau, and said coldly: "I think the reason why Otto is being targeted is very simple, he is dangerous enough. ”

Landau waved his hand to the ground, and a magic circle appeared encompassing everyone.

He stepped forward and stared at Otto with a smile and said, "Otto, do you really think so?" ”

Immediately after the excitement had dissipated, Otto replied confidently: "In the history of nuclear physics, there will definitely be my name Otto." ”

Peter looked at Otto worriedly, opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute, and instead looked at Landau for help.

Landau snapped his fingers, conjuring up Otto's appearance with four mechanical arms.

Otto thought it was a holographic projection and exclaimed, "Stark Industries' technology is indeed unique. ”

Zooming in on the imaginary robotic arm, Landau pointed to the control chip at the top and said, "Otto, your control center doesn't have the slightest protection measures, is this what a serious scientist should do?" ”

Landau suddenly turned to Peter and asked very quickly, "Quick question, quick answer, why is the alcohol lamp extinguished?"

"Five, four, three..."

Peter hurriedly replied, "Take the lamp cover and close the lid from the side of the wick and extinguish the alcohol lamp." ”

"What is the first of the three no's principles in the laboratory? Five, four, three..."

"You can't touch the medicine with your bare hands."

Landau turned around with satisfaction, at least Peter's laboratory safety awareness was very good, and he could answer in five seconds.

"Peter knows how to protect himself, Otto, look at your tools." Landau canceled the transformation of the character model and enlarged his entire octopus robotic arm: "Directly acting on the human spine, the bare control center, there is no second safety measure." ”

Raising his voice, Landau scolded: "When I held a lecture at Columbia University, the first thing I did every time I talked about safety was to talk about safety, and it seems that you and Connors didn't take what I said seriously. ”

Otto faced Landau's reprimand, lowered his head, and defended himself in a low voice: "That's all the previous design, I haven't studied mechanical engineering, the laboratory is too poor..."

Landau scoffed, turned and left, leaving only one sentence, "I'm disappointed in you and Connors." ”

As he brushed shoulders with Tony, Landau gave him a look and walked away.

Tony spread his hands and said frankly what he thought, "Well, I actually think the idea of your robotic arm is quite good." ”

"So there's only creativity, right?" Dr. Otto looked up, his face expressionless.

Walking to the computer in the laboratory and calling up the blueprint of the robotic arm, Tony gave Otto a detailed analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the robotic arm, and confessed: "Assuming you don't find a financier like me, then there is a high probability that you will follow the path of Dr. Connors." ”

Peter asked, confused, "What happened to Dr. Connors?" Why is Dr. Landau so angry. ”

"Jarvis, play the video."

As the video of Tony's home lab pops up on the screen, Connors, who is lying in front of the workbench, first grows a tail, then a little more slender body, and finally screams and crashes through the wall to escape.

After watching the video, Otto said bitterly: "Connors is my best friend, and I am the one who caused everything to happen. ”

"He once dissuaded me from experimenting too early, let alone experimenting with myself." Otto whispered the story of Connors and himself, "The problem is that we don't have the money we have extra to run the project. ”

"Connors, who couldn't convince me, finally proposed that his project was only a human part of the project, and that once progress was made, there would be a steady stream of funding, and everything would no longer be a problem."

"But the government forbade him to conduct human experiments," Otto's voice was even lowered, "and that's when I started the backup program and built a robotic arm in the lab." ”

"Connors lost contact some time ago, and he said in his last call that he had succeeded."

"I thought the mystical department had found him," a tear ran over Otto's resolute face, "I didn't think it would end like this. ”

Tony touched his nose and said with relief: "Everything will be fine, at least you don't have to worry about money now." ”

Peter saw that Otto was deeply struck and stepped forward to comfort Dr. Otto with Tony.
