Mason doesn't have much time left for him to take Dr. Zola to Gotham in three hours to hand over to the Justice League.

He borrowed the Green Goblin's lab from Osborne and brought a high-energy laser generator from Judy, and then began tinkering with kryptonite materials he had obtained from Dr. Zola.

The badly injured zombie Superman Bizarro is being housed in a platinum-level trauma team medical pod, the culmination of emergency technology in the 2077 era, and according to Judy, even a person with only one breath left in it can hold out for several more days, but the fee is extremely expensive.

In Night City, only the real upper echelons can afford this kind of medical package.

While the trauma team of the 2077 era, the first aid specialists, has always been known for their firepower and training, it is impossible to ignore that what was born in that hellish place does pay for itself.

"His brain tissue is dying, my brother, you need to speed up."

The Isu ghost Consus hovers beside Mason, a biologist who connects his consciousness signals to the medical chamber via the Shroud Cloak to describe Mason's condition in real time.

Mason nodded.

The high-energy laser generator next to him was warming up, and he himself was using a jewelry processing tool to clean a large, solid-colored diamond that he had just taken from Catwoman's collection.

This is the raw material for his preparation to transform "temporary kryptonite".

Next to Mason is Judy, who works as an experimental assistant, and the tech girl has just gone to see her good friend Barbara and made sure she is okay before coming over to help Mason.

She chewed gum and was looking at Dr. Zola's test data, and sighed as she looked at it:

"This bad guy is indeed a talent, he actually used only a mathematical model to simulate the whole process of the destruction of Krypton, and by simulating this process in the laboratory to give the high-density carbon crystals various temporary effects of kryptonite.

Although it is only a one-off and has a short period of time, it is also very remarkable. ”

"Don't let Zola scare you."

Mason cut the diamond on the bench and polished it into a date kernel shape, and said to Judy:

"A large part of that research material was obtained after he joined the Cleanup Legion, and it wasn't all his own research, and that guy had a very bad personality and wasn't a respectable researcher.

However, this information also confirms that the cleaners are well aware of the Kryptonians' weaknesses and have made detailed preparations.

It is necessary for me to share this news with my hometown so that they can also be interested. ”

As he spoke, he put the polished diamond in front of his eyes and looked at it.

After confirming that the raw material was correct, it was placed in a high-energy laser generator, and the parameters were entered according to the experimental procedure given by Dr. Zola, and various radioactive chemical materials were knocked together and put into the machine, and then the experiment began under the personal operation of Judy with engineering glasses.

Laser beams of disparate frequency, wavelength and power bombard the diamond in all directions in an ultra-dense manner, supplemented by gamma rays of various frequencies to decay the chemical material, mimicking the environment of Krypton's destruction.

And kryptonite, which can cause various effects on the physique of Kryptonians, is a special substance born in the process of the destruction of this world.

The experiment at hand seemed very complicated, but Mason was sure that there were definitely people in his world who had mastered similar methods to make kryptonite, such as Lex Luthor's most annoying genius bald head who had a lot of kryptonite in his hands, and the kryptonite in the master's hand was estimated to be an astronomical amount.

I just don't know if they have mastered the way to make a variant of kryptonite?

At present, this method of laser rays and chemical decay can temporarily change the chemical properties of diamonds to produce a kryptonite-like effect, but the mass production of real kryptonite requires a more complex process.

However, Mason estimated that as long as he figured out the generation law of this thing, he should be able to simulate something similar with alchemy.

"It's green!"

At the fifth minute of the experiment, Judy, who had been observing the changes in the diamond, reported a report, and Mason, who was preparing the craniotomy tools, looked back to see that the diamond placed in the center of the laser generator had turned green under the bombardment of various rays.

This is exactly what the most common green kryptonite looks like.

"Stop the laser bombardment, Judy, intensify the frequency of the gamma rays and mix it with the decay isotope to heat it, and make it in the second stage according to the scheme of blue kryptonite."

Mason shouted, and the tech girl complained that she was really excited, and quickly changed the mode, enhancing the gamma rays with high penetration, and soon the green temporary kryptonite underwent a wonderful change.

Its color fades and transforms, turning a dark blue and fluorescent.

"The radioactivity of this thing must be terrifying."

Judy took a few steps back and said to Mason:

"You'd better wear protective clothing and take at least a few radiation pills."

"I've eaten it before."

Mason replied, then used long tweezers to take the dark blue thing out of the experimental cabin, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and soon the information label popped up:

Kryptonite isotope blue

Quality: Sophisticated engineering/jewellery processing materials

Characteristics: One-time, fragile structure, fast failure [Countdown 29 minutes 50 seconds]

Maker: Mason Cooper / Judy Alvarez

Item Description: Kryptonite with different external manifestations is just a collection of various isotopes of the Krypton element itself, and it is not difficult to understand this to make the gadget you want in a specific way, provided that you have real permanent Kryptonite as a raw material.

"Today's objects illustrate the unexpected formality and seriousness, like approaching the tone of science, changing people This is?"

Mason whispered a mutter, but didn't waste any time, quickly attaching the improvised kryptonite in his hand like a blue ice cube to the top of the medical chamber with a bracket.

Under the faint blue light, Bizaron's titanium-like flesh and blood that lay in the medical chamber and did not know whether he was alive or die quickly became fragile.

Two minutes later, Mason personally cut his scalp with the enchanted [sharp] Urujin scalpel, and the subsequent craniotomy process was handed over to the treatment procedure manipulator of the platinum medical pod to complete.

Removing the remnants of metal fragments from the zombie superman's brain is a very precise process, but luckily the current engineering has reached Lv5+1, and Mason, who has reached Lv4 in first aid, has a pair of super skillful hands that are fully capable of doing the job.

Twenty-five minutes.

With the rest of his body completely still, he was able to remove all the metal pieces that had been burned by Barbara from Bizarro's very fragile brain structure one by one with the movement of his forearms, wrists, and fingers.

The whole process was error-free.

Judy, who watched the whole time, called Mason a pair of hands that were more accurate than medical prosthetics, which is a very remarkable evaluation for people living in the age of 2077.

"Bell"

The last small twisted piece of metal was placed in the surgical pan, and Mason took a step back and let out a sigh.

He removed the faintly glowing blue kryptonite and handed it to Judy, who immediately placed it in a sealed container and took it out of the lab.

After the blue kryptonite left, Bizarro's body quickly recovered to super self-healing, and without even stitching, his severed skull and scalp healed themselves within minutes.

This scene caused Mason to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then glanced at the translucent character card, which had a hint that made him smile:

Successfully completed a first-aid operation on Advanced Difficulty, Fatal Injury, and Ultimate Craft, and the first aid skill proficiency was increased by X2X10X20=X400, currently at Lv5.

Unlock the First Aid Talent [Wonderful Hands Rejuvenation: When the completion of First Aid is above "Excellent Craft", the patient's injury recovery speed is +100%]

"Congratulations, my brother, that you have performed an operation that is a 'miracle' even in my eyes."

The Isu ghost Consus hovered beside Mason to congratulate him, and he glanced at the deeply unconscious zombie Superman Bizarro in the treatment pod, and said:

"Everything else is left to the self-healing power of this special life, and according to my estimates, he will be able to recover to his full glory in a week at most.

But when you had the surgery just now, I found that the brain development of this creature does not seem to be normal, and it is not a disease, it seems to be a genetic problem?

His brain is significantly atrophied. ”

"Bizaro is a genetic clone."

Mason took off his medical gloves and explained:

"I don't know which version of this Alien Superman is, but it's certain that his intelligence level is very stretched, but it is said that a certain strength of blue kryptonite can improve his intelligence.

We'll have to wait until he wakes up to do the test. ”

"You'll have to find a way to trap him, Mason."

A blurred human face in the recess of the hat placed aside, warned Mason:

"He may be able to come to his senses, but his brute force is a threat to anyone, especially in a world that has withered, and he can't be allowed to move freely."

"Judy will watch him here and make a blue kryptonite when he is about to wake up."

Mason rubbed his chin and said:

"I have other arrangements for Bizaro, and it would be of great help if he could be used for us. It's a pity that he can't catch up with the big event against the Justice League this time, but it's okay as a secret weapon. ”

"Mason, Dr. Zola's meeting with Ott is over."

Judy walked back from outside the lab and reported to Mason:

"Your team members are ready to leave for Wayne Manor, do you need to equip that guy with a special 'data prison' sandbox robot?

I'm afraid you won't be able to trap him.

Although his data life form is incomplete, it is still beyond the scope of normal technology. ”

"I think Zola's scientific literacy may not be able to escape the shackles of mother box technology, but your concern is also very reasonable, prepare one for him."

Mason thought for a moment and said to Judy:

"Don't be too advanced, just take one of them. Also, when does your captain have time? There's something I want to talk to him about right now. ”

"He? He's busy. ”

Judy pursed her lips and said:

"He'd rather spend time running around the parallel world than come to the appointment, I guess you wait and wait, and in the end, the old aunt Rogge will come over instead of the captain."

"No, he has to come in person."

Mason emphasizes:

"I'll be patient enough, but please tell Morgan that it's something related to Mr. Hunter and our secret little organization, and I really need to talk to him."

"Uh, well, I'll tell you the truth."

Judy nodded, and looked Mason up and down again, her eyes rather strange.

Mason noticed her gaze, reached out and put his hat on his head, turned his head and asked:

"What's wrong? Do I have dirt on my face? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I was chatting with Panan remotely just now, and I told her what Team K just did, and Panan said that if you were born in Night City, you would be a legend."

Judy ruffled her hair and said:

"I think she's right, you're definitely a legendary mercenary."

"Hey, we have such a good relationship, why are you cursing me?"

Mason pursed his lips, picked up the penguin umbrella, and said:

"There are no living legends in Night City, and your words are tantamount to cursing me to death."

"You'd better settle down, Mason."

Judy snorted, crossed her arms and reminded:

"You've already attracted a lot of attention, and it's probably going to be difficult for you to live like this, but V should like you very much.

You're all the kind of people who don't cause trouble and don't feel uncomfortable.

Speaking of which, you're going to fight the Justice League, do you need me to help you shake people? ”

She looked left and right, and whispered:

"I can bypass the captain and help you contact the old aunt Rogge, and ask her to quietly help you recruit a few legendary mercenaries in the Shenyu server to fight, just to let them go.

Those guys can't ask for it.

I also have a production line of androids here, so it's not a big problem to make a couple of disposable bodies for them. It's quite expensive, though, and you'll have to talk to Rogge. ”

Mason was a little moved, but then shook his head and said:

"Forget it, this is the 'civil war' on our side, and once outsiders are involved, the nature changes. If you really want to help, help Barbara get some good prosthetics.

I can't stop her from reinventing herself, but I don't want to see her make herself like Ghost in the Shell. ”

"What do you say! That's my good sister, am I going to cheat her? ”

Judy punched Mason in the shoulder, and then saw Mason turn to leave, the kind-hearted girl bit her lip and called out to Mason, who took a box out of her bag and handed it to him.

Mason opened it and saw a super cool silver pistol in the box.

The all-over silver compact gun body, the middle magazine design, the kinetic bullet accelerator in front of the gun body, and the blood-red translucent special material grip like a blood crystal.

Mason recognized the gun at a glance, looked at Judy in surprise, and said:

"Johnny Silverhand's gun? Isn't this legendary spear in V's hands? ”

"This is a 1:1 replica, I made it myself and collected it, and I originally wanted to give it as a gift to Sister Selena, but now it looks like you need it even more.

And isn't it your birthday today? I don't have anything to give you. ”

Judy whispered:

"You can use it, I used a high-purity scandium alloy to make the body of the gun, which has increased its destructive power by a bit, but don't die, Mason, I was sad for more than a year when V died last time.

I don't want to lose friends anymore. ”

"Tsk, Judy, I really want to discuss with Morgan now, let you join the K-Team, I'm willing to pay anything to exchange you for being my partner."

Judy said all that, and Mason didn't say anything more, he reached out and picked up the legendary spear of Night City.

Heavy to the hand, the scandium alloy material makes it very weighty, and it is no less than a warhammer when smashed into an enemy's head as a melee weapon.

And its info tags didn't disappoint Mason either:

Mallorian 3516 [Replica]

Weapon Quality: Legendary Engineering Creation: Perfect Craftsmanship

Weapon Characteristics: Indestructible, Secondary Ronceic, Flaming Fist, Extension

Weapon Effects:

One. Infinite Penetration:

The scandium alloy body is capable of withstanding more kinetic shots, while the finely tuned accelerator gives the bullet a superkinetic energy far superior to that of comparable weapons.

When holding this weapon for precision fire, all obstacles within 300 yards will be pierced.

Prompt!

Judy implanted a weapon component for the weapon, which allows the bullet to ricochet twice without destructive power when fired with a special skill.

Two. Cancer cures:

The weapon's excellent bionic grip and body design make it feel perfect to shoot, even in the hands of less experienced shooters.

When firing with this weapon, the accuracy is increased and the reload speed is increased.

The last bullet in the weapon's magazine always deals double damage.

Three. Burn them to ashes:

The flamethrower is hidden in the hilt of this weapon, which will erupt a high level of flame when holding the weapon in melee combat, attaching [Blindness] and [Intense Burning] to nearby enemies.

Prompt!

This weapon has not reached the immortal process due to Judy's crafting skills, and can be re-transformed to improve its quality, requiring engineering Lv7.

Maker: Judy Alvarez

Item description: This gun was made by the Mallorian Company for legendary singer Johnny Silverhand, who died; The second owner of this gun is the legendary mercenary V of Night City, who is also dead.

Now that you're its third holder, how long do you think you'll survive?

"I just complimented you on being serious, and that annoying guy is back, right?"

Mason snorted, spun the legendary gun in his hand and rotated horizontally as Judy watched, inserted the nine-round magazine in a very cool "exclusive reload action", then whistled and inserted it into the weapon slot on his belt, hiding it in his gray trench coat.

"Thanks, Judy."

He turned around and said goodbye to the tech girl, winked at her and said:

"I'll try to survive to the end, we all will. I will do everything in my power to ensure that this time there is a story of reunion, and you, will not lose any more friends. ”
