Lu Mingfei doesn’t want to be a superhero

Underground base of the Equipment Department, research room.

Lu Mingfei and Deputy Director Carl stood next to Tie Liaoda, who was named "Iron Overlord".

"We are only a few days away from freedom. Is it still too late to make changes?" Lu Mingfei reached out and tapped the Iron Overlord's body.

"Don't underestimate the industrial capabilities of the Equipment Department!" Deputy Director Carl said confidently, "If necessary, we can turn on our full power and build a fighter jet within ten days! Not to mention your plan to transform the Iron Overlord. It’s quite simple, and the transformation will be completed before noon tomorrow.”

Lu Mingfei nodded.

After Obadiah's Iron Overlord was killed, Tony recycled the machine. Most of the Iron Overlord's technology was copied from his Mark 1 armor. Of course, he himself looked down on such a heavy and rough machine, so he recycled it. It's just to prevent people with ulterior motives from obtaining the technology in Iron Overlord.

But later, after Lu Mingfei studied with Tony, Iron Overlord had a new use - Tony asked Jarvis to scan Iron Overlord's drawings, and then gave them to Lu Mingfei to use as a teaching material.

Learning the drawings itself is not difficult. Any number of qualified professionals can assemble things according to the drawings. What is really difficult is understanding all the principles behind the drawings. Someone who can assemble a machine according to the drawings does not mean that he has the skills. Ability to apply the technology in the drawings to other places.

Tony obviously doesn't want to train a Lu Mingfei who can only read drawings. What he wants to train is a "super genius" who can see the drawings of something like him and can think of dozens of improved versions in a blink of an eye.

At first, Tony used the drawings of the Iron Suit as teaching materials. Lu Mingfei was a little confused even when he listened to the class with his eyes open, so Tony later changed the teaching materials to the drawings of Iron Overlord, which were as complicated as black technology. The Iron Overlord's drawings were obviously much simpler than the ultimate steel suit, and were more suitable for Lu Mingfei, who was still a rookie at the time.

Because of this, Lu Mingfei is very familiar with the structure and principles of the Iron Overlord, and can even easily modify some of the structures inside and transplant them to this X99, which is why he calls this big guy "Iron Overlord" ".

Of course, there is still a gap between this thing and Obadiah's Iron Overlord.

Apart from anything else, at least it doesn't have any flying function, and it can't even jump - and judging from the structure of the drawings, as long as it is powered by a micro-reactor, Obadiah's Iron Overlord may be able to fly up to 10,000 meters in the air. , although there is a high probability that it will stop running at low temperatures due to lack of anti-freezing measures.

In addition, in terms of flexibility, movement speed, operating power, etc., Lu Mingfei also deliberately controlled it so that it would not reach the level of Iron Overlord.

Firstly, he didn't want to make it too shocking. This level of technology was enough. Secondly... if the performance was too high, the battery life of this machine would also be a big problem.

There is no Tony's micro-reactor in this world. If it relies on fuel for power supply, if the flying function is added to this big thing, it will probably fly around in the sky for two times before falling down.

Walking to the experimental table and doing some calculations with the help of Norma, Lu Mingfei frowned slightly: "Is the fuel tank too small? Even if all the fuel is aviation kerosene, it can only run for thirty or forty minutes."

"Due to size considerations, the fuel tank can only be made so big," Deputy Director Carl said confidently, "But don't worry, we are not using ordinary fuel, it can run for at least half a day."

Lu Mingfei looked at him in surprise: "What kind of fuel is so durable?"

"Hehe..." Deputy Director Carl smiled mysteriously, "Come, let me show you."

Fingel, Lu Mingfei and Ling followed Deputy Director Carl. Fingel looked at Lu Mingfei with a look of shamelessness: "I didn't expect that junior brother, you are not only good at games, but also a great inventor!"

"I can't say I'm a great inventor. I just have a little understanding of machine structure." Lu Mingfei said modestly.

While talking, they walked to another door. In addition to verifying fingerprints and irises, Deputy Director Carl also swiped his card once, and the closed metal door slowly opened.

"What kind of place is this?" Lu Mingfei followed Deputy Director Carl in and looked around, curious.

"This is one of my private laboratories and also my warehouse." Deputy Director Carl said.

"No wonder there are so many pictures of lolita posted here." The corners of Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched.

The four walls of this laboratory are all pasted or hung with famous loli-type anime girls. Deputy Director Carl calmly took out a small jar of transparent crystals with a metallic color from a small password cabinet. , the can is about one or two times smaller than a Coke can, and is made of transparent quartz, with about half of the crystals inside.

"This is our fuel." Deputy Director Carl said.

"Solid fuel?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Deputy Director Karl nodded: "Alchemy fuel to be precise."

Lu Mingfei was not surprised. Things that looked so strange were usually alchemy products.

"This is Star Antimony, an alchemical fuel produced by the Gaotingen family. It has an energy density far exceeding any fuel on the market and can be used as a driving energy source for many magical machines. Of course, its actual application range is not wide because the output is too low. , so it is generally only used in situations where small but powerful equipment needs to be carried." Deputy Director Carl explained.

"Gaotingen family?" Lu Mingfei was stunned - wasn't this the family that the principal said could teach him alchemy? The principal has helped him reach an agreement with that family. When the Freedom Day ends, he can go to that family to learn alchemy at any time.

Unexpectedly, Deputy Director Karl's star antimony came from this family.

"And I seem to have some impression of the name Xing Antimony..." Lu Mingfei said thoughtfully.

A few seconds later, he suddenly realized: "Isn't this the legendary invention invented by Newton when he was studying alchemy? How could it be produced by the Gottingen family?"

"Because Newton is a mixed race, and he is a very rare mixed race whose parents are ordinary people, but he himself has a very high bloodline," Deputy Director Carl explained, "He has devoted his life to alchemy and dragons. The study of history, of course, to the modern eye, his study of the history of dragons has been misunderstood as a theological obsession."

"From a certain perspective, all his scientific research results are by-products of his research on alchemy, because alchemy is the science of dragons. When he was studying dragon science, he opened up a prototype for human science. I didn't know that he was Would you have thought that the by-product of my research on dragon science would step by step develop into human science that can compete with dragons?"

"Although there is no doubt about the greatness of Sir Newton, hybrids are not dragons. We do not have knowledge engraved in our genes. Any great scholar learns step by step, but they just learn faster than others," Deputy Carl The director explained, "When Sir Newton was young, the Gottingen family was his earliest supporter. The old patriarch of the Gottingen family was his first teacher in alchemy. Legend has it that he was also close to the eldest lady of the Gottingen family at that time. .”

"Isn't he not married?" Lu Mingfei said.

"Indeed not, I don't know why, and there is no record in historical data," Deputy Director Karl shrugged. "Maybe their relationship broke down. After all, people in the third dimension have shortcomings after all, and it is normal for them to break up."

Lu Mingfei:...

You two-dimensional lolicon, don’t act like you’ve seen through the world of mortals!

"In short, because of this relationship, after the death of Sir Newton, the Gaotingen family became the only alchemy family that mastered the method of refining 'star antimony'. Their original status as an alchemist aristocracy has become more stable. Even if the number of people is declining, they can still remain in the school. The position of Dong." Deputy Director Karl said.

Lu Mingfei was stunned, but then he was a little surprised: "I thought the Equipment Department didn't care about things other than research. I didn't expect you, deputy director, to know the situation of the school board of directors."

"We are indeed not interested in the affairs of the school board. As long as they provide sufficient funds, even if all school directors are replaced, it will not affect us," Deputy Director Karl said, "But the Gaotingen family is an alchemy family after all, and our equipment The Ministry is still concerned. If one day they die, we will ask them if they sell their alchemy books. The Gaotingen family has many parchments recording alchemy and black magic, and they can build a small library. It’s no less than the alchemy reference room in school.”

"I heard that the vice-principal is the strongest alchemist in the secret party. Why is the school's collection of books similar to those of the Gaotinggen family?" Lu Mingfei was puzzled.

"The vice-principal is from a single generation. There are no books left. They keep all the knowledge in their heads and will only teach it to their own students." Deputy Director Carl explained, "I also tried to worship the vice-principal as my successor. Master, it’s a pity that he refused.”

Lu Mingfei nodded, thoughtfully.

Originally, after the director and deputy director promised to let him enter the alchemy information room, he was a little too lazy to go to the Gaotingen family. He felt that it was enough to study the information on his own, but now it seems that the Gaotingen family still has to go, even if it is not for professional purposes. Teaching, just for the sake of the Gaotingen family's parchment collection, he had to look at it.

After a day of freedom, let’s go to the Gaotingen family first.

Then... first find an opportunity to go to Tony's world and ask Master Gu Yi or Wang to help check the mark given to him by Samson, and then go to Old Tang - in case there is something weird hidden in the mark, such as if he gets close to Old Tang Just activate his Norton memory immediately or something like that.

Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

…

At the same time, in the library of the Gaotingen family.

The room is not big. There are several bookshelves neatly arranged. The parchment volumes are neatly placed on the walnut bookshelves. They are not squeezed and stacked like ordinary bookshelves. Each parchment volume has an independent square. Each bookshelf board has been treated with alchemy and exudes a faint fragrance. Insects cannot survive nearby, lest these precious parchments be eaten by insects.

There is a small square table in the corner of the largest bookshelf. Sitting at the square table is a girl who looks to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. Her long pale golden hair is hanging down, almost dragging to the ground as she sits.

She was reading a book. In order to prevent her loose hair from distracting her attention, she fixed the hair on her forehead and side temples with hairpins. Her face, which was slightly baby-fat, looked exquisite under the fluorite lamp as if it were made by a master. hand doll.

This is where the Gaotingen family stores parchment books. There are powerful alchemical matrices engraved everywhere. Although flames should not be able to burn here, the clan rules still stipulate that no items that may spontaneously ignite are allowed to enter, so every time she comes in to read a book. Everyone must wear an alchemy fluorite lamp. The cold alchemy stone will always emit bright silvery light, replacing ancient oil lamps and modern electric lamps.

The girl who was reading suddenly wrinkled her nose. She quickly turned her head and pulled up the hem of her expensive silk dress in front of her face: "Ah... sneeze!"

The skirt was the work of a master and was priceless, but compared to the surrounding parchments, it was just a slightly more delicate piece of cloth.

In the Middle Ages, every book here could be exchanged for the territory of at least one town in the mixed-race society.

"Miss!" The maid behind the girl quickly put on her coat.

"No!" The girl gently brushed her coat away, "I'm not cold, but my nose was a little itchy just now."

The maid stood behind the girl holding her coat, and the girl was once again immersed in the parchment in front of her.

She just didn't know why, but when she looked at the bookshelves at home, she suddenly had a vague premonition.

By the way, Cassel College has now started school, and the S-class freshman is expected to come here soon. I have to ask the servants at home to prepare it tomorrow. I also asked the stylist to help me design a majestic outfit. I can't The reputation of the Gaotingen family has been insulted in front of the S-class! The girl thought.

…

Kassel Academy.

In the early morning, the clear and melodious bells rang throughout the campus.

Today is the school’s free day event. The students who participated have already been fully armed and rushed to the battlefield. The students who did not participate wisely stayed in the dormitory. Although free day allows you to not abide by school rules, there is still a safe zone in the school. Those students who are unwilling to participate in activities are usually provided in dormitories and cafeterias.

Especially since this year's Free Day is sponsored by the Equipment Department, students need a safe zone even more.

This year's Freedom Day is more intense than before, and there is only one winning condition - to eliminate all the other camps, you will win.

The Yujie faction and the Loli faction each chose a building as their base.

The Royal Sisters faction chose the Hall of Valor, an ancient Byzantine-style building, a place similar to a cathedral, used to issue degree certificates. It is usually locked and only opened once a year during the graduation ceremony - Caesar He thought this was the building where the leader should be, but Chu Zihang said it didn't matter where he was, so Caesar used Dictado to open the door lock and break in.

Outside the Hall of Valor, ten heavily armed guards patrolled a strict route. They were all elites of the Student Union and the Lion Heart Club. In the past, they would have fought to the death for a day of freedom, but now they cooperated sincerely.

In the Hall of Valor, there is a large table in the center of the spacious Hall of Valor. On the big table is a simple sand table of the college map.

"Chu Zihang, let's study the tactics!" Caesar and several cadres of the student union stood at the table.

"No need." Chu Zihang stood in the corner holding the knife.

He doesn't know tactics, he only knows how to kill people.

But for some reason, he had a bad feeling today.
