[Chapter 193 Reactor and Learning Machine]
Tony didn’t know that he was already on Captain America Steve’s “successor list”, and David didn’t know that Steve, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was considering retirement before he officially took office.
He was talking to Laura about “pets”.
“Where do you usually keep these two giant wolves?” He knew that Laura had captured two northern giant wolves, but he had never seen them in Winter Town: “In the Winter Forest? They won’t hurt the miners, right?”
“No, after being subdued by me, they will never disobey my orders.” Laura raised her hand and touched the head of one of the giant wolves. This big guy looked very powerful. Its huge and strong physique allowed the giant wolf to be used as a mount: “Usually I will let them move in areas far away from Winter Town.”
“Then how do I find them when I need them?”
“I have established a special connection with these giant wolves. As long as I call them, they can sense my call even if they are far away… Haven’t you learned the knowledge of hunters?”
“I haven’t read too much about this.” David’s pet was a robot dog that he snatched from Soundwave and resurrected by himself using the power of holy light. Normally, the robot dog transforms into a bracelet and is worn on his wrist. He does not need to take care of it like Laura does, and he needs to summon it when needed.
When the robot dog is worn on his wrist, it can replenish sufficient energy from David, so the robot dog does not usually have the idea of moving around. It eats and sleeps every day, and lives a very comfortable life.
After chatting for a few more words, Laura automatically joined the small group visiting Winter Town. Tony also learned about Laura Crawford, a world-renowned archaeologist, who was an important “investor” in the rapid development of Winter Town in the early days. At the same time, Laura and the Baron of Glamorgan have a very close relationship.
“Oh~”
Tony nodded in understanding. He suddenly became curious. In addition to Steve and Laura, as well as the Transformers he knew before, Peggy Carter, and some Pokémon he saw not long ago, who else is there in Winter Town?
“Tirion Fordring, a powerful Paladin from the world of Azeroth.” Steve mentioned everyone he knew: “Sharon Rogers, my daughter from another world…”
“Wait.” Tony suddenly interrupted Steve’s introduction: “You have a daughter in this world?”
“She is another daughter of mine in a parallel universe, not my daughter.”
“I must meet this one.”
“…” Steve sighed helplessly and continued to introduce other people to Tony: “Mark Watney, an astronaut who was trapped on Mars due to an accident.”
“Mars? The Mars I know?”
“That Mars.” Steve stopped talking. If Tony mentioned a name, he would interrupt once, and he didn’t know when he would finish.
Tony looked at Steve’s expression and knew that he had too many questions. If he had anything to ask, he could wait until he finished asking. So he made a ‘please continue’ gesture and closed his mouth.
Although he knew that Tony would definitely not be able to hold on to the end, Steve continued to introduce them.
Will Turner, Leonard Hofstadter, Eva McKenna, Leon Kennedy, etc.
He only mentioned the names of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy in passing, because he didn’t have much contact with these two young people.
In addition, there are also people who came to Winter Town through these people. There are more of these people. Steve hasn’t recognized all of them yet, so he just mentioned them roughly without going into details.
“It sounds like there are not many people like you.” Although the population of Winter Town is not particularly large, it is not small either.
Tony thought that most of the people here were from other worlds like Steve, but he didn’t expect that most of them were like him, who came to this place through one of them as a “bridge”.
When he returned to Castle Glamorgan again, Tony already had a relatively detailed understanding of Winter Town. He didn’t plan to stay any longer. He wanted to go back and sort out all kinds of information and formulate a complete construction plan.
“By the way, if possible, it’s best to take advantage of this time to stock up on some unique minerals or other things in your world.”
Tony made his request to David before leaving: “Of course, I won’t take these things for free.”
The two can discuss the specific price separately. Even if the currency on Earth cannot be used in this world, Tony is confident that David will definitely have a demand for the products he made. It depends on what David wants at that time.
After the design of the laboratory and reactor is finalized, how to transport the various materials for construction can be entrusted to Steve and the diggers. Now it is not as troublesome as it was at the beginning to bring things from other worlds to Winter Town.
When Tony wants to concentrate on doing something, his efficiency is amazing. In
just a few days, Tony completed the design work of the laboratory and the new reactor. He
even gave a complete construction plan and packaged the data in full, ready to hand it over to David later, and David’s diggers will be responsible for the specific construction.
When he visited Winter Town, he knew that the diggers had a strong construction efficiency, and there was no reason for him not to make good use of it.
The next step is to purchase various materials and prepare a suitable place for Steve to bring the Diggers over, and then the Diggers will transport the various raw materials to Winter Town.
This work is a bit tedious, but not difficult.
At the same time, he handed over his construction plan and drawings to the leader of the Diggers, Shovel, and even handed over the detailed manufacturing process of the Ark Reactor.
It’s not that Tony is very generous, but after he understood the capabilities of the Diggers, he knew that as long as he agreed to build the Ark Reactor in Winter Town, the specific design of this reactor would no longer be a secret to the Diggers.
These Cybertronians can easily record all the data details of the Ark Reactor, and in the future, as long as they want, they can build a large number of Ark Reactors at any time.
Tony is now more curious, can these Transformers transform into a reactor in their bodies to solve their own energy problems?
The answer from Shovel is that it can’t be done, it seems that because the technical complexity (black technology level) of the Ark Reactor is relatively high, not every Cybertronian can perfectly “construct” this energy source in their bodies.
“Maybe our leader David can do it.”
“David? He’s not human?”
“The leader has a special ability that allows him to switch freely between carbon-based life and silicon-based life.”
“So magical?”
Tony, who got unexpected information, was very curious about how to switch between carbon-based life and silicon-based life at will? Is it through some mysterious power? Or is it Cybertron’s black technology?
The excavator said he didn’t know, please ask the leader!
As a result, when Tony ran to Winter Town and wanted to ask David how to transform into a silicon-based life form, he learned that David was not in Winter Town.
“Not there? Then where did he go?” Tony has been running back and forth frequently recently. He has already met Eva McKenna, the secretary of Winter Town. At the same time, he is more certain of one thing: Baron David Glamorgan is definitely the same kind of person as himself!
“Azeroth.”
“What is he doing there?” Tony thought of the current main residents of Winter Town, who were from Azeroth: “Did he go to recruit people?”
“It seems that he wants to ask a mage to help solve the language problem in Winter Town.” Some things do not need to be concealed when facing people from other worlds like Tony, so Eva directly told Tony the purpose of David’s going to Azeroth.
“Language? Oh! I see.”
Tony is a smart person who can think of many things with a little hint. He immediately understood David’s idea and thought of another thing at the same time: “So, there is no need for me to waste a few days in a hurry to learn the common language of Brunnia?”
Eva smiled and did not respond. Tony did not dwell too much on the fact that he had wasted a few days. He devoted himself to the construction of the Ark reactor and the laboratory. Although the diggers could complete these tasks, he felt uneasy if he did not personally watch over them.
At this time, taking advantage of Fording’s return to Winter Town, David went to Azeroth again and found Medivh, the former guardian, through his unique information channel.
“You want me to make a tool that can help people learn a new language quickly?”
“Yes.”
Medivh looked strange. He didn’t expect that David would find him through ‘Azeroth’ just for such a small matter. However, he quickly made the tool that David wanted and provided detailed production drawings so that David could continue to make the same tool after returning.
“Wear it on your forehead when you sleep. Even ordinary people can learn the Brunnian Common Language within a few days.”
Medivh first mastered this new language through David, and then instilled this language knowledge into the magic tool in his hand – it looked like a silver headdress with a gem in the center.
“Don’t worry, this tool doesn’t use any special materials that are difficult to collect. It uses very common magic materials.” After Medivh finished speaking, he stared at David, obviously asking, “Is there anything else important?”
“No, thank you very much for your help.”
David looked at the tool and drawings in his hand happily. From now on, no matter what world people come to Winter Town, they can quickly learn the Brunnian Common Language.
In addition, David invited Medivh since he was already here, just in case it worked out, so he asked, “Would you like to stay in Winter Town for a while?”
“Sure!”
