Chapter 151 34 Osborne Enterprises Has only One Purpose! Dig Through the Center of the Earth!

Chapter 151 34. Osborne Enterprises has only one purpose! Dig through the core of the earth!

Mason wanted to discuss the issue of enhancer potions with Dr. Lizard, a real "professional". He believed that Dr. Connors would be able to bring some very useful help to his alchemy skills.

But now is not a good time to discuss skills. Just as everyone was talking to Dr. Lizard, another shock hit them.

This thing was like a heavy burden on everyone, and Barbara, who had always been the most optimistic, no longer smiled. Under the guidance of Dr. Connors, they continued to move towards the other side of the empty underground cave.

This is not a comfortable journey, especially with the prying eyes of the "lizard people" who are accustomed to underground life hiding in the dark.

The thought that these guys were once living people who just survived the apocalypse and actively became like this makes a kind girl like Barbara shudder.

After ten minutes' journey, a small weird hut appeared in front of everyone.

It was built on the side of a cave, with light strips all around and a generator set running without much noise.

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

Next to the room that was emitting light, there was a strange robot whose iron shell had been transformed into something like a barbecue grill.

A large amount of debris is placed around irregularly.

A retrieved refrigerator was half-open, filled with discarded cans of home-brewed beer. When the four people approached with strange expressions, they could even hear music coming from the house.

It was pre-war music, soft blues accompanied by a poorly executed violin solo, turning music that could have been pleasant to the ears into a kind of torture.

"Duh duh duh"

In order to prevent everyone's ears from suffering, the old spider immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door politely.

"Hold on."

A slow voice sounded from inside.

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

A sloppy fat man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties stuck his head out and took a glance. He had a pair of coquettish black sunglasses on his round face, and his messy hair showed signs of baldness.

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

All the air of an elderly hippie.

Even the slow expression on his face was the same.

"Yeah! Peter!"

This guy was surprised and opened his arms towards Spider-Man who took a few steps back in front of him, looking like a warm acquaintance. But Spider-Man took a few steps back cautiously and crossed his hands to make a "don't come close" look.

He said suspiciously:

"Dr. Otto? What are you doing?"

"Ah, I'm glad you remembered my name instead of calling me 'Doctor Octopus'."

The owner of the hut nodded with satisfaction, without concealing his identity at all. Wearing furry octopus-accented 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 right there!

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

The only regret is that when I understood the value of peace, the world had already perished.

But that doesn't matter.

You have to take care of yourself even in the apocalypse, right?

Come on, come on, the cake I made is almost ready. If you don’t mind me adding too much sugar, I will be happy to share this delicious cake with you. "

Mason turned his head and looked in the direction of Doctor Octopus's chubby fingers, who seemed to be mentally disturbed.

Sure enough, there were four ferocious silver-grey mechanical tentacles coiled in the garbage next to the barbecue grill that looked like it was built with Ultron's rusty and discarded body.

Because it had not been maintained for a long time, the thing looked dusty and terrible, just like the dead steel snake curled up.

There is no trace of the glory of high-tech destructive creation.

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

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

It may be the end of the world, but having one less nemesis to worry about is always a good thing.

And the chubby and kind professor in front of him, like Dr. Connors just now, were figures who brought great inspiration and encouragement to Peter Parker when he was young.

Although a series of events later made them his enemies, in Peter's heart, these two have always played the role of "teachers".

It's just that he's not in the mood for octopus cake 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 a song and busy opening a strange oven modified with a particle cannon:

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

Where is that tower?"

"Gravity."

Dr. Otto smelled the cake he had baked, put some cream with his finger and tasted it in his mouth. Then he nodded with satisfaction, placed it on the table, and replied casually:

"The thing that the tower is mining is gravitonium. You may not have heard of it, which is normal. After all, your research direction when you were a student did not involve high-energy physics.

How do I explain that to you?

Let my almost rusty brain think about it. "

As the former Doctor Octopus spoke, he picked up a table knife modified from a half-samurai sword marked "Eagle Eye" and cut the cake, enthusiastically sharing it with Barbara and Erbun 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 and expressed her gratitude to Doctor Octopus, then sat on the chair and began to taste this rare delicacy in the apocalypse.

Ertun refused the food.

He didn't like this sweet thing, and he felt that enjoying it would make him relax his vigilance.

His eyes fell on the "violin" that Dr. Otto placed on the shabby sofa. It was made of a silver-gray thing similar to a motorcycle helmet and an incredible-looking gun barrel. Welded.

It has quite a doom punk feel.

"Gravitonium, a rare natural mineral or magnetite hidden deep in the earth's core, is a special polymer of chemical elements 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 they can affect gravity. "

Mason stood at the door and whispered to the people in the room:

"But gravity 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 built such a large mechanical tower to complete the mining.

No wonder the world's gravity is weaker than normal.

Everything makes sense. "

"Very accurate, that learned young man!"

Mason's explanation made Dr. Otto clapped his hands and said with appreciation like he was praising his own students:

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

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

But you are outsiders, right? "

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

“The knowledge about gravity is spread to this world from your peers, and even the cause of this war and the end of the world is related to this.

This rare element that can artificially change gravity is not found in every world. In fact, it is also a very rare resource in parallel worlds.

Unfortunately, our world has an excess of gravitational force stored in the center of the earth.

It has been more than three years since the end of the world. Osborn Enterprises has built excavation towers around the world and has delivered too many valuable resources to your organization.

Their excavations caused Oceania to sink to the bottom of the sea, terrible subsidence collapses occurred in Asia, and Neon Island was torn apart by the massive earthquake a few months ago.

The gravity there has been exhausted!

Now, Osborne has set his sights on North America.

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

In fact, if you have observed the moon, it is not difficult to find that changes in gravity have begun to affect the earth-moon system.

The vibration that occurred in New York City was a side effect of every time the Osborne Tower extracted gravity from the center of the earth. But it was obvious that the Green Goblin strictly demarcated the gravity influence zone. "

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

"He's going to destroy this zombie city and bury all of us survivors hiding underground alive! Unless Peter and Connors give him what he wants.

Yes.

Even though 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 clearly?"

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

"Because Osborn Tower. Well, I mean, I designed the excavation device they used to dig out gravitonium. They originally came to Tony Stark, but the guy who left with a group of people didn't want to Take over.

Wakanda was destroyed in the Doomsday War, and Banner was captured as a beast. Looking at the world, I am the only person left who can complete this design. "

Having said this, Dr. Otto showed a very complicated smile with unclear meaning.

He turned back and adjusted the blues music on the radio to a softer serenade, turned his back to the four people, and said:

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

Simply because they need the resources produced in our world.

This is both a blessing and a misfortune.

It's like you escaped death but were given a reprieve. "

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

“Everyone who survives has lost a lot, so it’s time to cherish everything you still have. I don’t want you to understand this when you are my age, Peter.

I learned from your sanctuary'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, okay?"

Spider-Man obviously didn't want to discuss the issue. He changed the subject and said:

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

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 trouble I caused you when I was crazy."

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

"These are some 'gadgets' I took with me when I left Osborne Tower. Plugging it into any socket of the tower's defense system can temporarily paralyze their internal security system.

I also have a diagram of the interior of Osborne Tower here.

But I can't go there with you and beat down those guys who are getting more and more outrageous. I dismantled my mechanical tentacles not without cost.

I can't put them back on again. "

"This is enough."

Barbara wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth and said:

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

"Hey, the technology of this microcomputer is great."

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

"Can you show it to me? I'll just take a look and make sure I don't break it. Girl, this thing looks like it's at least one generation ahead of my technology. It's really a rare thing.

Those people showed me similar things before when they tried to take me away, saying that I could get these things if I left with them.

I regretted it for a long time when I rejected them. "

"Discuss the technique with Dr. Otto, Barbara."

Mason pushed his team member and said:

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

"clever?"

The amiable fat doctor suddenly grinned and said:

"I have to reduce my IQ by ninety-nine points before I can be classified into the 'smart' column, but I've helped you this far anyway, so why not help you complete the work of invading the Osborne Tower system here? Bar.

There's a dazzler over there that's very troublesome.

He is like a 'living firewall', and ordinary hacking techniques cannot deal with him.

Come with me, little girl, and let me see how powerful this little alien hacker like you can be. "

Dr. Otto walked to the other end of his restrained room. Next to the sofa where he slept, there was an old computer with the Avengers logo on it.

Mason glanced at the garbage pile outside the door and said to Doctor Octopus, who was already incredibly calm:

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

I can pay. "

"Take it, I'll give it to you for free."

Dr. Otto waved his hand and said:

"It means I say goodbye to the past completely, just like a harmful relationship needs to be broken off."

After receiving the permission, Mason pulled the second bucket out and took out the four-segment tentacle, which was as heavy as a dead snake, from the garbage pile. Mason cleaned it first, and then squatted down to look at the thing carefully.

Soon an information label pops up:

Mentally interactive multifunctional mechanical tentacles

Quality: Epic engineering items·Exquisite craftsmanship (long-term abandonment leads to quality decline)

Weapon characteristics: Super strength·Psychic adaptation·Autonomous weapon·Autonomous upgrade

Weapon status: abandoned, in need of repair, 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 suits and combat weapon systems.

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

However, to use this mechanical tentacle perfectly, it needs to be mentally connected to the user. The mechanical intelligence of the item will interfere with and affect the user's thinking.

2. Smart weapons:

The mechanical tentacle has powerful intelligent AI. In most cases, it can carry out combat, investigation and auxiliary production without the user's instructions.

Dr. Otto designed a set of self-upgrading logic for his mechanical tentacles. When exposed to any technological items that can be used for self-strengthening, the mechanical tentacles will try to analyze the technology and transform themselves.

Notice!

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

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

The current AI intelligence level of the mechanical tentacles: assistant-level weak artificial intelligence.

Producer: Otto Gunther Octavius

Item Description: Once this thing grabs onto something long and hard, it will screw it like a screw, and its minimum output is five tons! Therefore, I warn you not to do anything weird with it!

"Enough of this obscene description!"

Mason complained.

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

But before Mason started the transformation, Spider-Man came out, holding a cigarette and said to him:

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

As the smoke rose, the burning cigarette butt was thrown on the ground and stomped out. The middle-aged man with a fat belly whispered:

"If you can, count me in!"
