"I now know why those of you who have been in contact with him don't like him."
In Hank.
After Pym's projection dissipated, Merlin walked over to the depressed, almost autistic Dr.
Foster and patted him on the shoulder, saying in an understanding tone, "As you say, this is a bastard you don't like." ”"But you've also seen his amazing intelligence."
Sitting in his chair, writing on a drawing, Fosterpos said to Merlin without looking up, "Hank is such a man, he is very arrogant, he is very cold, he is impersonal, he is terrifying...
The problem is, he has the capital to do this, his wisdom, Merlin, there are always people in this world whose wisdom we can't match, no matter how hard you try...
You can't catch up with him, that feeling is really unpleasant. ”"He gave us a plan, even though I didn't understand it."
Merlin looked at the drawings in Dr.
Foster's hand and asked, "Are you sure this plan works?"
”"Hmm."
Dr.
Forster nodded, and he said to Merlin with some dismay, "Pym's taunt is right, I did ignore a lot.When you first handed me the drawings of the Quantum Restraint, I knew that the Restraint could be used to suppress quantum activity by stacking numbers, but that thing would also oppress Ava's spirit, and if she wore more than 3 Restraints, it would be a terrible burden for her. ”"However, I have overlooked another application of this restraint."
The doctor pointed to the blueprint he had just drawn, and he said to Merlin, "What Ava needs is not a wearable restraint, she needs a suit that shields from quantum activity, a closed restraint field that can suppress the growing quantum energy in her body." ”"Oh, a combat suit?"
Merlin looked at the freshly drawn, fully enclosed strange armor on the drawing, rubbing his chin, and said, "Like a movable bin?"
”"No, it's not at all the same in principle."
Dr.
Foster looked up at the hive-like binning chamber in front of him and said, "But it's okay for you to describe it that way...
As long as Ava wears this suit loaded with several restraints, she can maintain the integrity of her body, and after training, she can even manipulate the quantum energy in her body, which can greatly reduce her pain and allow her to move freely in the outside world. ”"But she can't take it off unless she returns to this barn."
The doctor said with some regret, "You also heard Pym's statement, although he is grumpy, he generally does not lie, he said that he can't solve Ava's problem, which is probably true." ”"In other words, my poor Ava will only be able to walk around in this suit like the future soldier?"
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Ava in the binding, his eyes full of pity.Soon, however, he thought of something else, and he said to Dr.
Foster, "Just now Hank.
Pym told us that he said that if his experiments went further, he would be able to cure Ava...
Do you think, this is lying, or is it?
”"It should be true."
Dr.
Foster continued to refine the blueprints and said to Merlin: "Although I don't know exactly what Pym has been doing all these years, I can probably guess that he is probably working on a method that can allow him to enter the quantum world, which cannot be done theoretically, but you and I both know that theory can only constrain ordinary people, and for a genius like Pym, the general perception can be broken at any time." ”"Once Pym does find a way to get in and out of the quantum world safely, it means that he can collect free energy from the quantum world, the kind of energy that only exists in that microcosm, which can be used to repair and stabilize Ava's body."
The doctor said in a way that Merlin could understand: "The energy of the quantum world is relatively stable in that world, and we only need to inject that energy into Ava's body to make the deranged atoms in her body reach a relatively stable state...""
Of course, this stability will go back into confusion over time, but if Pym does find a way to enter the quantum world, it means that we can recharge Ava at any time.""
That means that Ava will return to a normal world, and she will be free to enjoy her life like any other girl...
Or even getting married and having children. ”"Sounds pretty good."
Merlin rubbed his forehead and said, "Then we can only hope that the grumpy old man's experiment will make progress in the near future." ”"It's not that easy, Merlin."
Dr.
Foster sighed: "It is likely that Pym has spent more than ten years perfecting that experiment, which shows that the difficulty encountered in that experiment is much greater than we imagined, unless there is a breaking point, it will be difficult for a genius like Pym to achieve a breakthrough in the short term." ”"But you're right, we inferior intellects can't do much other than wait.""
Looks like you've been shadowed by him."
Merlin patted Dr.
Forster on the shoulder, and said, "Don't take his, you're smart too, Bill, at least in my opinion, you're one of the smartest people in the world." ”"Ugh."
Dr.
Foster touched his bald head, he looked at Merlin, and he said, "I always think you have something to say...
But, Merlin, it's not enough to be smart, people like Pym, or Reed, Stark, you can't describe them as smart, it looks like humiliation to them. ”The doctor sighed, and he said to Merlin, "I'm going to design this combat suit for Ava in the next period of time, and if it goes well, after half a month, she will be able to move freely in the outside world." ”"Give it a name."
Merlin looked at the blueprint in the doctor's hand, rubbed his chin, and whispered, "Just call it 'Ghost', the name is very worthy of Ava's abilities, isn't it?"
”"Indeed."
Dr.
Foster nodded, and he said, "It can pass through most solids, be immune to any physical attack, can freely change forms between the virtual and the real, and can truly achieve concealment in various senses, which is indeed too similar to the ghosts in mythological stories." ”"Lord Merlin, you have a new newsletter."
A sudden reminder interrupted Merlin's small talk with Dr.
Foster, and on the lens in front of him, a communication message from Kansas caused Merlin to blink.He turned to Dr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Forster and said, "Doctor, I still have some business to attend to, so I'll go first." ”"Also, when Ava woke up, give me a call, this child hasn't eaten with the children in the family for a long time, and the children miss her.""
Well, there you go, Merlin."
A few seconds later, Merlin arrived on the rooftop of Pagassos' base, where he stood on the edge of the rooftop, looking out at the vast desert in front of him, and then Icarus dialed the phone number in reverse."
Clark, you haven't been in touch with me for almost a year...
Did you call out of nowhere to wish me a Merry Christmas?
”"Well, you can think so."
On the other end of the line, Clark's voice rang, saying, "After all, Christmas is coming, but I have another thing to tell you." ”"Say it, awkward.""
We are friends, and friends have to help each other," Merlin said. ”"Well, that's right, I'd like to ask you to help me find a job...
It's better to stay away from home, forget it, come here, it's more complicated, I'll tell you in person. ”—————————————————— a few minutes later, on a small hillside not far from Kent Farm, Merlin walked out of the light of the Transfiguration Charm and saw Clark sitting on the hillside, melancholy drinking beer.This guy is still wearing that old denim suit, wearing a shabby straw hat, and his sheepdog is lying next to him, and one person and one dog look very leisurely in the winter sun."
I thought you were going to work on your farm for the rest of your life."
Merlin stepped forward, pulled a portable chair out of his pocket, and sat down next to Clark, saying, "What the hell is going on to make you want to leave the farm and go outside?"
”"My mom, force me to get married..."
Clark looked into the distance, he said with a melancholy face: "She and my dad have been looking for a girlfriend for me recently, just yesterday, the family went to the town restaurant for dinner, but when I got there, I saw another family sitting at the table, they are friends of mom and dad, that's not the point, the point is, their daughter is also there...
That meal made me eat awkwardly. ”"I thought old Kent and Martha would respect your choice."
Merlin held back a smile and said to Clark seriously: "They will be like other parents, they don't care about your life affairs at all, and just let you run around the world, but now it seems that they are quite traditional and will worry about marriage problems for their uneasy son." ”"But I don't need to!"
Clark was a little irritated and kneaded the can in his hand into a discus, and said, "You know my problem, I can't fall in love casually, let alone get married casually." ”"Are you afraid of giving birth to a Kryptonian baby?"
Merlin leaned back in his chair, he crossed his legs, and said with a leisurely expression, "But it's not a problem, honestly, I can understand your parents' concerns...
If my son is almost 25 years old, but he has never even been in love, he has not even touched a girl's hand, and he does not pretend to all the women around him, then I also start to wonder, does he not like women?
Could it be that the baby son is a gay or something. ”He glanced at Clark and said, "Martha is a sincere Catholic, and it's really normal for her to have such concerns.Seriously, if you want to calm your parents' hearts, I can send a female agent disguised as your girlfriend...
This is the easiest way to deal with it. ”"No, I don't want to lie to them."
Clark pulled down his straw hat to cover his face, and said, "I'm a little annoyed, maybe it's a good idea to take this opportunity to leave the house and go out and have a look."
But as you know, I only graduated from high school, I didn't go to college, and if I had to look for it myself, it would be difficult to find a job that would reassure my parents, so I can only ask you. ”"For a madman like you who can read and understand A Brief History of Time in 10 minutes, a Ph.D. is just a joke."
Merlin shrugged his shoulders and said, "But if you've made up your mind, then I'll help you, it's not that hard."
However, Clark, what I'm more curious about is that I've given you a year to think, I haven't intervened in your thinking, I think, a year and time is enough. ”"What are you thinking about my other invitation?""
The Avengers?"
Lying on the hillside, Clark letting the sun shine on his body, he stroked the head of the puppy next to him, and he said, "Okay, I'll join."
As you said, it's a loose organization that only rallies when something really bad happens, right?
”"Hmm."
Merlin used Icarus to search for current jobs in New York City and replied, "Most of the time it's free, and you're free to go about your life."
Speaking of which, do you have any requirements for your new job?
”"Nothing to ask for."
Clark took off his straw hat and tossed it aside, and he said to Merlin, "As long as it suits me." ”"Well, let me see."
Merlin flashed job postings on the lenses in front of his eyes, and after a few minutes, he seemed to have found a suitable job, and he said to Clark: "You can hear the voice of a city, you are not afraid of being threatened, you have a sense of justice, and most importantly, you are fast and can be the first to get to the scene...
Well, this position is a good fit for you. ”"What?"
Clark looked at Merlin, who projected information about the job into the air with a stereoscopic projection, and said to Clark: "The Planet Daily has been looking for reporters lately, and I think you can give it a try." ”"Reporter," Clark said, reading the job posting carefully, grimacing, "but it requires a bachelor's degree in journalism...""
It's okay."
Merlin patted Clark on the shoulder and said, "I'll help you 'revise' your resume, and I can guarantee that you'll definitely be accepted." ”"However, you need to tidy up your image first, you need a suit, you need a device that can change your face, maybe a pair of glasses is good, similar to my style, well, your face shape is more suitable for black-rimmed glasses, it can make you look more stable...
Anyway, you go and say goodbye to old Kent and Martha first, and I'll take care of the rest. ”Merlin stood up, and he said to Clark, "Just go to work at the Daily Planet tomorrow morning." ”"Oh, by the way, now that you've joined the Avengers, the necessary training has to be on the agenda, and it just so happens that there is an elderly person who also needs to start resuscitation training, so you can come along.""
Go ahead, Clark, pack your things.I'll be waiting for you in New York. ”()
