The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 574: Lex's Journey to Gotham (Part 1)

After leaving Schiller's office, Lex began to think about how to complete this project.

To be honest, he didn't have any educational experience, and all the knowledge he had acquired before was self-taught during the time when he was away from Lionel.

When his father was still alive and giving him medicine, he would pretend to hire some tutors for him, but those tutors knew that they were just a tool used by Lionel to show his father's love, who would concentrate on To teach a child with autism such profound knowledge? No one would think that Lex could learn it.

Therefore, he didn't know exactly how to carry out the research of a subject, but, leaving aside those rules and procedures, as long as the goal of the subject was achieved, Lex felt that he could still do it.

First, he has almost unlimited wealth, which has already solved most of the problems. He is no longer subject to cost input, but only solves problems wholeheartedly. Lex can use all his wisdom. A 16-year-old The boy genius believed that under such circumstances, there was nothing he couldn't do.

Before launching his experiment, he needs to make some preparations. First, he needs to find an experimental site. Lex thinks that since he is a student of Gotham University, it should be possible to borrow the laboratory of Gotham University.

Then he discovered that Gotham University's laboratory can no longer be called a laboratory. In terms of high emotional intelligence, the Gotham University's laboratory should be just right for Galileo's experiments.

Gotham University has a total of two old laboratory buildings, which are located behind the Academic Affairs Building. On the surface, the two buildings are very large, one is 6 floors high and the other is 7 floors high, with more than 20 laboratories.

But after walking in, Lex discovered that there was no usable modern experimental equipment here, and there were hardly any teachers and students doing experiments there.

Everyone is crowded into the new laboratory building on the west side to do experiments, but that laboratory building is relatively small, and there are only 5 floors available, and there are only 7 laboratories. So far, each corresponds to a department, and there is no room left Lex's laboratory to do experiments.

That being the case, Lex is not sticking to Gotham University, he thought, there should always be several research institutes or research institutes in a mega city, right?

Just like the metropolis, besides the central research institute, the metropolis also has many private research institutes, and also accepts some individual researchers. Borrowing equipment is only a fee, and Lex is not short of money.

Then he realized that he really underestimated Gotham. He bought various maps, asked various people, and then confirmed that there was no research institute here. The last research institute that appeared in this city was the European Union. A seminary run by man.

Gotham is not a city with science and technology as its pillar industry. In other words, the technological pillar of the entire city relies on Batman alone. He alone supports a city. Now, the vast majority of Gotham has technological content. All the equipment is made by him.

Of course it was impossible for Lex to ask Bruce to borrow the laboratory, he could only find another way.

It is not difficult to build a new laboratory building with his financial resources, or start a research institute independently, but it takes time, even if it is to donate a laboratory building to Gotham University, it will take at least a year to build it, Lex can wait Not so long.

After looking around, he finally found a place that was barely usable, and that was Victor's cryogenic laboratory.

Victor has been here for a long time. His low temperature laboratory was remodeled by himself a little bit. It is located in the basement, 1st and 2nd floors of the second old laboratory building, which can meet all his own experimental needs.

As another super genius, Victor has built his own base very well. Although he is not a super villain Freeze now, he has all the necessary freezers, cold storages, and weapon arsenals, as well as most of the physical and chemical bases. Equipment available for experiments.

The relationship between Victor and Bruce is not bad, so a lot of advanced equipment is obtained from Bruce, at the cost of some cryogenic technology.

In addition, Victor earns extra money by working for gangsters in his spare time, and he has realized his low-temperature patented technology. Now he is very rich, so his low-temperature laboratory is even developing in the direction of the Batcave. It is very complete, and occasionally teachers from other departments will come to borrow it, so the reputation of this laboratory has spread.

After Lex heard about it, of course he also wanted to borrow this laboratory, so he approached Victor, but Victor refused.

In Victor's eyes, Lex is just a freshman, he hasn't even taken basic courses, why is there any need for experiments? And the experiment is not a child's play, there are still many dangerous things in Victor's laboratory.

As soon as he heard that Lex was only 16 years old, Victor refused without even thinking about it. It is impossible for any responsible teacher and researcher to let an underage child run into his professional laboratory. It is also right to be irresponsible for one's own laboratory equipment, and irresponsible for the safety of the other party's life.

Will Lex let it go? Of course he won't, he's not Batman, he's not a superhero, he doesn't have any moral burdens, he wants to achieve his goals, and he will do whatever it takes.

So, on the second night of being rejected by Victor, Lex directly entered the laboratory building.

In Lex's view, Victor is just an ordinary scholar, and it's useless for him to disagree. Anyway, Lex has plenty of ways to open the door and sneak in. At that time, he can use the equipment here as he pleases.

After entering the first floor of the laboratory building, as Lex expected, there is no special equipment here, it looks like an ordinary laboratory building, after opening the first room, the preparation room looks ordinary, Lex went in After changing my clothes, I also found the directory where the equipment was stored.

He looked through the catalog and found that the cold storage for certain special chemicals was on the basement floor, so he came to the stairs on the first floor leading to the basement.

As soon as he walked down a few steps, a biting chill came up from below, and Lex shivered.

But he thought that it is normal for a place with cold storage to have a lower temperature than other places. He just went down to get something and couldn't stay for a while, so he just came up soon.

An hour later, Victor looked at the ice sculpture of Lex frozen at the door of the cold storage on the basement floor, and sighed.

Lex inside the huge ice block is still alive, not only that, but his eyeballs can move. He stared at Victor, obviously realizing that the elegant and kind professor in front of him is not the ordinary professor he thought. scholar.

My cold storage is different from other places. You must wear special protective clothing to enter, especially you must wear special gloves to touch the door handle, otherwise you will be directly frozen in the ice like you. Victor Putting on a pair of gloves, he went to twist the doorknob in front of Lex.

Lex's eyes fell on the doorknob, and it was here that he fell. He went down the stairs, and after finding the cold storage all the way, he twisted the doorknob without thinking, intending to open the door, and then instantly was frozen.

Lex has never seen or heard of such a technology that can freeze a person into a huge ice cube in an instant, and now he doesn't feel any signs of discomfort, and he doesn't even feel cold. His physiological activities It's normal to think and think, but you can't move at all.

In his opinion, this technology is a miracle, and it is precisely because he has learned about it that he knows how powerful it is.

But Victor didn't care. He changed into the protective suit, walked into the cold storage, took a gun from inside, and with a swoosh, a ray of light shot out, directly hitting the ice where Lex was. on the block.

With a snap, the ice cube shattered, and Lex staggered twice when he landed, but he barely stopped.

How did this happen? Lex turned left and right, looking at the ice on the ground. In his opinion, it didn't look like ice, but more like a high-density crystal similar to diamonds.

You should answer my question first. What are you doing here? Your name is Lex, right? Freshman, did no one tell you that this is a restricted area at Gotham University?

I want to borrow the laboratory to complete a project assigned by Professor Schiller. Lex replied.

Hearing Schiller's name, Victor frowned. He took a few steps back, looked at Lex, and found that although Lex looked very thin and pale, there was a different kind of expression in his eyes. of light.

It was Bruce who was assigned homework by Schiller himself last time, and Victor knew exactly how talented Bruce was. Could it be that Schiller thought the boy in front of him was similar to Bruce?

Victor suddenly became interested, he turned around and walked back to the operating table, took a set of protective clothing from above, threw it to Lex, and said, Come with me, I will ask you a few questions, if you can answer them Come out, and I can lend you the laboratory.

Lex didn't say anything, just put on the protective clothing silently, and walked in. After that, the scene in the laboratory opened his eyes even more.

Gotham is a very strange place. The gap between rich and poor here is not only reflected in the buildings in the city and the ecology of citizens, but also in technology.

The other laboratory building next to the laboratory building of this building is dilapidated, as if dreaming back to the Middle Ages, but the laboratory used by Victor here looks like an alien experiment carried over from a flying saucer. room.

The overall wall is gray-blue, and it is made of a metal that Lex can't see the source of. The connection between the walls is made of the previous high-density crystal, and there is a metal plate every two metal plates. A light strip that exudes cold light.

There are four rows of test benches in the same direction as the four walls, and a huge machine is placed in the center of the room, which breaks through the floor between the two floors and is fixed between the ground of the first floor and the ceiling of the second floor. Moving blue liquid, exuding dreamy light.

Beside the huge machine, there are two consoles with dizzying buttons on them. In addition, there are several rows of file cabinets near the windows, as well as a console dedicated to placing test tube racks. On the test tube racks, each Various reagents shimmered.

Anyway, if one day wakes up in a lab like this, be thankful that the creature that walks in and examines doesn't have six legs.

Just when Lex was looking around the entire laboratory, suddenly, the door of the laboratory was opened, and another thin figure walked in, holding a stack of documents in his hand, and said:

Professor Victor, I finished all the materials I brought back yesterday for sorting out, should they still be placed in No. 2 file cabinet?

Lex turned around, he and the person who came were stunned at the same time, Lex saw that it was a thin boy who looked younger than him, with a pale complexion and gloomy eyes shrouded under the eyebrows .
