The Track of Dawn In the World of Marvel

  Chapter 151 34. Osborne Enterprise has only one purpose! Dig through the center of the earth!

  Mason wants to discuss the issue of enhancer potions with Dr. Lizard, a real "professional". He believes that Dr. Connors will definitely bring some very useful help to his alchemy skills.

  But now is not a good time to discuss skills, and another shock hit while everyone was talking with Dr. Lizard.

   This thing is like a heavy burden on everyone, and Barbara, who has always been the most optimistic, no longer smiles. They continue to move towards the other side of this empty underground cave under the guidance of Dr. Connors.

  This is not a journey that makes people feel comfortable, especially when those "lizard people" who are used to living underground are peeping in the dark.

  Thinking that these guys used to be real people who just took the initiative to survive under the apocalypse, it made a kind girl like Barbara shudder.

  After ten minutes away, a small weird cabin appeared in front of everyone.

  It was built on the side of a road in a cave, surrounded by light strips and a generator set running without much noise.

  Its appearance is full of wasteland punk feeling. The outer outline of the house is an abandoned large vehicle, much like the iron shell of a large personnel carrier has been modified.

  Beside the radiant room, there is a strange robot whose iron shell has been changed into a barbecue grill.

  A large number of sundries are placed around irregularly.

  A picked up refrigerator was half open, filled with discarded cans of self-brewed beer, and when the four people approached with strange expressions, they could even hear the sound of music coming from the room.

   It was pre-war music, soft blues accompanied by a poorly crafted violin solo, turning what could have been pleasant music into a kind of torture.

   "aggressive"

  In order to save everyone’s ears from suffering, the old spider immediately knocked on the door very politely.

"Hold on."

   A slow voice sounded from inside.

  The voice made Spider-Man's face change drastically, but it was too late to leave, and the welding door was opened in the next second.

  A scruffy fat man in his fifties or sixties poked his head out and glanced at him. He wore a pair of coquettish black sunglasses on his round face, and his messy hair was already showing some signs of baldness.

  He was wearing a half-worn loose gown with the famous anti-war slogan "Make Love Not War" written on it.

  Put the style of an old hippie.

  Even the slow expression on his face is exactly the same.

   "Yeah! Peter!"

   This guy opened his arms towards Spider-Man who took a few steps back in surprise, looking like a warm acquaintance, but Spider-Man took a few steps back vigilantly, crossing his hands in a look of "no approach".

  He said suspiciously:

   "Dr. Otto? Are you?"

   "Ah, glad you remembered my name instead of 'Dr. Octopus'."

  The owner of the hut nodded in satisfaction, without concealing his identity at all. Wearing furry octopus accessories slippers, he stood at the door, patted his empty shoulders and said to the four visitors in front of him:

   "Don't worry, everyone, the mechanical assistant that affects my thinking has been dismantled and discarded by me. I haven't touched it for three years. Now, look!

   Those bad things are there!

  In the past few years, I have taught myself spiritual practice and meditation to adjust my thoughts and bring my life and life back on track.

  The only regret is that when I realized that peace is precious, the world has already perished.

   But it doesn't matter.

   Take care of yourself even in the last days, right?

  Come on, come on, the cake I made is about to be baked, if you don’t mind the amount of sugar I put in, I’m happy to share this delicacy with you. "

  Mason turned his head and looked in the direction of the chubby fingers of Dr. Octopus, who seemed to be out of order.

   Sure enough, there were four hideous silver-gray mechanical tentacles in the garbage pile next to the barbecue grill that seemed to be built with Ultron's rusted and discarded body.

  Because it hasn't been maintained for a long time, it makes the thing look gray and terrible, and it's curled up like a dead steel snake.

  None of the glory of high-tech destructive creations.

   "It's good to see you find yourself again, Dr. Otto."

   After figuring out the truth of the matter, Spider-Man heaved a sigh of relief and congratulated him.

  Although it is the end of the world, it is always a good thing to have one less annoying nemesis.

  And the chubby and kind professor in front of him, like Dr. Connors just now, was a figure who inspired and encouraged Peter Parker a lot when he was young.

  Although they became his enemies because of a series of things later, in Peter's heart, these two have always been the role of "teachers".

   It's just that he's not in the mood for octopus cakes right now.

  He took off his hood and walked into the punk-style room in front of him, and said to Dr. Otto, who was humming and busy opening a strange oven modified with a particle cannon:

   "Doctor, I'm here because of the increasingly intensified shock recently. I already know that this is related to what the Osborne Tower is excavating. Dr. Connors told me that you can give me an answer.

  Where is that tower at all?"

   "Gravityonium."

  Dr. Otto smelled the cake he had baked, put the cream in his mouth and tasted it with his fingers, then nodded in satisfaction, and while putting it on the table, he replied casually:

   "The thing that the tower is mining is gravitonium. You may not have heard of this thing, which is normal. After all, your research direction in your student days did not involve high-energy physics.

  How am I going to explain that thing to you?

  Let my rusty brain think about it. "

  The former Doctor Octopus was talking, and picked up a table knife converted from a half samurai sword marked "Eagle Eye" to cut the cake, and enthusiastically distributed it to Barbara and Ertu who walked into the room.

  Batgirl glanced at the cake in her hand and then at Mason, who nodded to her.

  So Barbara showed a sweet smile to express her gratitude to Dr. Octopus, and then sat in a chair and began to taste this rare delicacy under the doomsday.

  Er Tong rejected the food.

  He doesn't like this kind of sweet thing, he thinks that this kind of enjoyment will let him relax his vigilance.

His eyes fell on the "violin" that Dr. Otto put on the dilapidated sofa. It was made of a silver-gray thing that looked like a motorcycle helmet and a barrel that looked incredible. welded up.

   It has a doomsday punk feel.

   "Gravityonium, a rare natural mineral or magnetite hidden deep in the center of the earth, is a special chemical element aggregate that has never appeared on the periodic table of elements.

   Its biggest feature is that when these elements are broken down by high-voltage current, their physical properties will change and gravity can be affected. "

  Mason stood at the door and said softly to the people in the room:

   "But gravitational onium mining is very difficult. As part of the earth's gravity system, they have always been hidden deep near the center of the earth. No wonder the Green Goblin has to build such a large mechanical tower to complete the mining.

   No wonder the gravity of this world is weaker than normal.

  Everything makes sense. "

   "Exactly, the learned young man!"

  Mason's explanation made Dr. Otto clap his palms, and he said appreciatively as if he was praising his own students:

   "It's very good to know so much at your age. It reminds me that Peter was as knowledgeable and talented as you back then. Unfortunately, he has become an alcoholic now.

  Look at his belly, my God, how long has it been since he had exercised well?

   But you're outsiders, aren't you? "

  Dr. Otto pushed the small brown sunglasses on the bridge of his nose. While eating his cake, he looked at the three of Mason and said:

   "The knowledge about gravitonium was spread to this world from your colleagues, and even the cause of this war and the end is related to it.

   This rare element that can artificially change gravity is not available in every world, and it is actually a very rare resource in parallel worlds.

  Unfortunately, there is an excess of gravitonium stored in the center of our world.

  It has been more than three years since the end of the day, and the Osborn Corporation has built excavation towers all over the world and has sent too many precious resources to your organization.

  Their excavations caused Oceania to sink to the bottom of the sea, and Asia to undergo terrible landslides and collapses. Neon Island was torn apart by a major earthquake a few months ago.

  The gravitonium there has been exploited!

   Now, Osborne has set his sights on North America.

  Their excavation has obviously exceeded the safety limit. The change of the world's gravity is just the beginning. If it is not stopped, the rotation of the world will be affected in half a year at most.

  Actually, if you have observed the moon, it is not difficult to find that the change of gravity has already begun to affect the earth-moon system.

  The shock that occurred in New York City was a side effect every time the Osborne Tower extracted gravitational onium from the center of the earth, but it was clear that the Green Goblin strictly demarcated the area of ​​gravity influence. "

  Dr. Octopus shrugged, stuffed the last bite of cake into his mouth, and said to the three stunned people in front of him:

   "He wants to destroy this city of zombies, and by the way bury all of us survivors hidden underground! Unless Peter and Connors give him what he wants.

Yes.

  Although I have been living in seclusion here for so long, I have never stopped observing the outside world. "

   "Dr. Otto! Why do you know so well?"

  Peter looked suspiciously at this unusually peaceful "old friend" in front of him. Under his questioning, the fat doctor wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth and put it into his mouth, saying vaguely:

"Because Osborne Tower. Uh, I mean, I designed the digging device they used to dig out the gravitonium. They were going to find Tony Stark, but the guy who took the group away wouldn't take over.

  Wakanda was destroyed in the Doomsday War, and Banner was taken away as a wild beast. Looking at the world, I am the only one who can complete this design. "

   Speaking of this, Dr. Otto showed a very complicated and incomprehensible smile.

  He turned his back and tuned the blues on the radio to a softer serenade, with his back to the four of them, and said:

   "This world is destined to be destroyed, Peter, and friends from outside, the reason why we can live for three more years after the end is not because we are lucky.

   Simply because they need the resources produced in our world.

   This is a kind of luck and a kind of misfortune.

   It's like you escaped death and got a reprieve. "

   Speaking of this, Dr. Otto looked back at his student Peter Parker, and said earnestly:

   "Everyone who survived has lost a lot, so they should cherish everything they still have. I don't want you to understand this at my age, Peter.

  I heard from your shelter's private radio broadcast that you drove Gwen away.

   You made a wrong choice. "

   "That's between me and Gwen, professor, let's not talk about it, shall we?"

  Spider-Man obviously didn't want to discuss this issue, he changed the subject and said:

   "The problem now is that Osborne intends to bury us, and I don't want to lose again. I haven't been able to protect my city. The people in that shelter are my last family.

  I want to stop him!

  Doctor, I need your help. "

   "Of course, of course, of course I am willing to help you, Peter, as compensation for all the troubles I caused you during the period when I went crazy."

  Dr. Otto opened his metal drawer very eloquently, took out a black USB flash drive from it and handed it to Spider-Man, saying:

   "These are some 'gadgets' that I took with me when I left the Osborne Tower. Inserting it into any socket of the tower's defense system can paralyze their internal security system for a short time.

  I also have a picture of the internal structure of Osborne Tower.

   But I can't go there with you guys and beat down the guys who are getting more and more outrageous. It didn't cost me to dismantle my mechanical tentacles.

   I can no longer put them back on. "

"This is enough."

  Barbara said while wiping the cream on the corner of her mouth:

   "With this thing, I can hack into the Osborne Tower's system and shut it down remotely."

   "Yo, the technology of this microcomputer is amazing."

  Dr. Otto immediately noticed the strange computer on Barbara's wrist. He rubbed his hands and said:

  "Can you show me? I'll just take a look and make sure I won't break it, little girl, this thing seems to be at least a generation ahead of my technology. It's a rare thing.

  Those guys showed me stuff like that when they tried to take me away, and said I could get them by leaving with them.

  When I rejected them, I regretted it for a long time. "

   "Talk about technology with Dr. Otto, Barbara."

  Mason pushed his team members and said:

   "He's one of the smartest people in the world."

"clever?"

  The friendly fat doctor grinned suddenly and said:

"I'd have to drop my IQ down by ninety-nine points to be classified as 'smart', but it's all done anyway, why don't I just help you guys hack into the Osborne Tower system here Bar.

  There's an Electro man over there that's troublesome.

  He is like a 'living firewall', ordinary hacking techniques can't deal with him.

  Come with me, little girl, let me see how powerful you, a little hacker from another world, can be. "

  Dr. Otto walked to the other side of his confinement room. There was an old computer with the Avengers logo on it next to his sleeping sofa.

  Mason glanced at the garbage dump outside the door, and said to Dr. Octopus who was already calm beyond belief:

   "Mr. Otto, if you don't want the mechanical tentacles, can you give them to me cheaply? I happen to have a battle mech that lacks an intelligent weapon system.

  I can pay. "

   "Take it away, and give it to you for free."

  Dr. Otto waved his hand and said:

   "It means that I bid farewell to the past, just like a harmful relationship that must be broken if it is to be broken."

   After getting permission, Mason pulled the second bucket out and moved the heavy four-segment tentacles like a dead snake out of the garbage dump. Mason cleaned it first, and then squatted down to examine the thing carefully.

   Soon an info tab pops up:

  Psychic interactive multifunctional mechanical tentacles

  Quality: Epic Engineering Items · Perfect Craftsmanship (long-term discarding leads to quality decline)

  Weapon Traits: Super Strength·Spiritual Adaptation·Self-Discipline Weapon·Self-upgrade

  Weapon Status: Abandoned·needs to be repaired·lack of energy

  Weapon effects:

  1. Universal plug-in:

  The mechanical tentacles designed by Dr. Otto Gunther Octavius ​​can perfectly adapt to various combat and production scenarios, and are adapted to most technological battle suits and combat weapon systems.

  It can also be regarded as a "special prosthetic plug-in" implanted into a mechanically enhanced individual.

  But to use the mechanical tentacles perfectly, it needs to be connected with the user's mind, and the mechanical intelligence of the item will interfere and affect the user's thinking.

   2. Smart weapons:

  The mechanical tentacles have a powerful intelligent AI. In most cases, they do not require the user to give instructions to carry out combat, investigation and auxiliary production.

  Dr. Otto designed a set of self-upgrade logic for his mechanical tentacles. When they come into contact with all technological items that can be used for self-enhancement, the mechanical tentacles will try to analyze the technology and transform themselves.

Notice!

  This self-reform program will make the AI ​​of the mechanical tentacles more intelligent, and the impact on the user's spirit will be more serious.

  In some specific situations, AI will try to replace the user's thinking in order to better fulfill the mission it was designed for, which is to help and protect the user under any circumstances.

  Current mechanical tentacle AI intelligence level: Assistant-level weak artificial intelligence.

   Producer: Otto Gunther Octavius

  Item description: Once this thing buckles something long and hard, it will be screwed as a screw, and its minimum output is five tons! Therefore, I warn you not to do weird things with it!

   "Enough of this obscene description!"

   Mason complained.

  Then he threw out the Fenrir armor, and he planned to put this thing into his Fenrir armor and turn it into a part of the weapon system to replace the master's non-lethal weapons.

   But before Mason started to transform, Spider-Man came out and said to him with a cigarette in his mouth:

   "When are you going to leave for Osborne Tower?"

   While the smoke was rising, the burning cigarette **** was thrown on the ground and stomped out. The middle-aged man with a fat belly said in a low voice:

   "If you can, count me in!"
