Chapter 1747 S Apocalypse Event (XV)

"Are you really building a maze?"

Lex asked in surprise as Bruce took out a bunch of design drawings.

Pamela leaned on the table with both hands, turned to look at Bruce and said, "Are you looking for trouble? You have found the source of power, why do you care about these disguised forms?"

"This is not a form." Bruce shrugged and said, "I found this method very good. Once there is an invasion by foreign enemies, we can directly activate the Gotham magic force field and fly to the sky, and then leave the maze to the foreign enemies. More importantly, the maze I built is definitely better than theirs."

"Besides, if you want more budget, you have to have a bigger project. I can't tell this mastermind that the purpose of wanting so much power is to prevent traffic jams in Gotham, right? How can the funds be approved? Come down?"

Pamela was immediately deflated, waved her hands in front of her, and said speechlessly: "I find that you are getting more and more cunning, the nature of a businessman!"

Lex was interested. He stood up from the chair and walked across the table. He looked down at the design and said: "I am a little interested in this project, but you first tell me how you found the source of power, and then how you contacted the other party."

"This is not difficult. There is no need to speculate too much about the source of power being underground, but determining the specific location is actually an accident."

With Bruce's narration, everyone in the room learned the ins and outs of the whole thing.

Roy wanted to improve Gotham's traffic, and the first person he found was of course the big money owner Wayne, but he also knew that no matter how rich Wayne was, there was a limit. The Gotham city reconstruction project had almost emptied the Wayne Group, and it was difficult to run two parallel lines.

But who is Batman? He has to go when there are difficulties and create difficulties when there are no difficulties. Now the biggest difficulty he faces is that he wants to do all the work of the next hundred years within ten years.

Normally, the transformation of any city is not accomplished overnight. It has to go through repeated trial and error. The design on paper may be very good, but new problems may arise when it is put into practice, and then it needs to be modified. This is actually the most time-consuming.

Bruce created the Gotham backworld to conduct trial and error for the Gotham transformation project. On the one hand, if it is really built wrong, it will not hurt real people. On the other hand, it is easier to demolish and rebuild the backworld if the effect is not good after it is built.

There is no problem with the residential area. Teachers and students of Gotham Magic Academy can go in and experience it, and then find faults with the test products. At most, a few more brave Gotham people can come in for field investigation, and Cobblepot's children will be very happy.

But the traffic network problem cannot be solved in this way, because to measure the operation status of a city's traffic network, a large amount of traffic is needed, and it needs to go through weekdays, holidays, flat periods, peak periods, and test extreme conditions and redundancy. Bruce cannot bring all the drivers in Gotham to the backworld to test the traffic network he built.

What should I do if I am eager for success but have no time? Bruce came up with a brilliant idea to steal time, which was to use the Flash's bug.

According to the Flash in the main world, he couldn't travel to the future to take a look at the results and then tell Bruce, because that would most likely cause a time paradox, which would destroy the universe.

But Bruce's genius brain wouldn't go out so easily.

He decided to get a younger version of himself, give him his plan, and let him go back to his younger Gotham to try and make mistakes bit by bit, and finally let the Flash travel to the world of young Bruce thirty or forty years later and bring the results back to him.

In this way, he could steal thirty or forty years from the universe where young Bruce was, and avoid the devastating consequences of playing with the time and knowledge of the same universe.

If there is still an error in the accumulation of one time, for example, the traffic network of Gotham in the universe where young Bruce is located is not as good as Bruce expected, then he will update his plan according to the place where the error is, and then find a younger self to come...

In this way, after a short period of iteration in his universe, Bruce will sooner or later find a perfect plan, and then directly start construction, avoiding the long trial and error process.

Bruce, who used the bug to rescue Martha the Joker, has now become the veritable idea king of Gotham. After solving the problem of time cost, he began to consider how to solve the material cost.

At this time, Bruce has realized the problem raised by Pamela before. The builders of Gotham continue to inject darkness into the metal of Gotham's buildings. Now he is also a builder of Gotham. Can he also use that darkness?

The other party's goal is to let the darkness pollute Gotham, but since it has been polluted anyway, why not find a more efficient way to use it?

A real Batman who has figured it out decided on the spot-the owl is actually me, give me the budget and I will build it!

In the development period, everything can be compromised for development. Don't worry about whether the energy is dark or not. Just tell me whether it is useful or not.

So, Bruce started to look for a way to contact the energy provider, but at this time Victor found him.

This is the accident Bruce mentioned. Victor said that many gangs frequently asked him to repair an underground dense ice cold storage. Every time Victor went there, there was no problem with the ice, but he would still do his duty to re-reinforce the dense ice in the cold storage, but every time it didn't take long for the ice to break, melt, or even explode.

Victor has been studying dense ice for so long and has never encountered such a strange thing. He has been studying for a long time and has no clue, so he wants to find Bruce to use his wisdom to see if he can solve the problem.

When Bruce went to the underground cold storage to check, he found that it might not be a hardware problem. He brought a machine to detect radiation, and then found that it was indeed some special wavelengths of radiation that affected the arrangement of the atomic structure inside the dense ice. Following the radiation source, Bruce found the source of dark energy hidden underground.

Because the traces of the owl's existence were erased, there was no ready-made magic circle, but Bruce happened to go to the magic world to study magic theory some time ago, and went to heaven to be an angel for a while.

After studying the nature of the comprehensive power, the way the power source is presented, and the possible forms of opening the channel, Bruce found Barbatos's phone number in a short time. Although the door has not been opened, the power can be transmitted through the channel.

In the conference room, Bruce and Pamela changed positions. He supported his hands in front of the huge map, looked at everyone in the room, and then said his plan. In a word, build the biggest project, get the most budget, produce the best results, and kill all the owls in the universe!

Facts have proved that bats are greater than owls.

The Court of Owls and the followers of Judas are all subordinates of Barbatos. If Barbatos wants to use them to erode the main universe, he must lend them power, and it is the kind of loan that does not require the other party to repay the price. The only thing Barbatos wants is the erosion results, which is the so-called budget approval.

There is a default unspoken rule in government bidding projects, that is, the more fancy the bid is, the greater the possibility of a liar. Batman's bid is too well written.

When most of the Court of Owls prayed to Barbatos for power, they simply said, "Somewhere in Gotham, we're going to add some stuff. Please ask the great dark god to give us some power," and then a bunch of flattery.

Batman is not like that. If he is really determined to deceive people, he will make sure that every link is watertight.

First, Falcone led the important figures of the twelve families to form a new Court of Owls, completely restoring the structure of the Court of Owls, which is composed of ordinary court members, members of the Owl Council, the Speaker, the Owl Priest in charge of religious affairs, and Judas believers.

Some people should still remember that the personality of Alberto was actually created by the Court of Owls to interfere with the Falcone family. This wave is to return to the roots and get back to the original source.

When Barbatos received the prayer of the owl from this universe again, he was busy fighting with Nyarlathotep and didn't read it carefully. He thought that the Court of Owls might have encountered a wave of purges before, and this time they reorganized their forces. So when he received the budget application from the other party to rebuild the destroyed activity venue, he didn't think much and sent the forces directly.

Now that there is an activity venue for members to use, there must be a church to consolidate the faith of believers, right? Bruce wrote the main doctrines and the Bible of the Judas believers in 200,000 words. Barbatos saw that the Court of Owls in this universe was very progressive and approved it.

Next came the budget for human resources to urgently replenish the personnel destroyed in the last war, the budget for the meeting to summarize and reflect on the war, the budget for personal training to make up for the shortcomings of the last operation, and the budget for the meeting to look forward to the future and formulate the next operation plan...

One after another, the plans and budget applications were sent to Barbatos like harassing calls. Barbatos was busy fighting with others, and he was fighting in the spiritual world. How could he have so much energy to look at the budget applications one by one?

It's not that he hasn't encountered the situation of greatly increased budget expenditures during the golden period of the construction of the Court of Owls before. Looking at it again, this universe has just been knocked out not long ago and is still young. It's really time for the Court of Owls to exert its strength. With a wave of his hand, he approved it all.

Then there was another 500,000 words to comprehensively analyze Batman's weaknesses, and focused on the necessity of building a comprehensive, three-dimensional, city-wide underground maze with more than 2,000 floors. Barbatos was dizzy when he saw it. Whatever they wanted to do, he approved it.

Seeing Barbatos' attitude, Batman and the super criminals all went crazy. They all brought out their plans to destroy the world, their super evil ideas, and their plans to conquer the universe.

So, the budget application flew into Barbatos' mind like snowflakes. Barbatos couldn't stand it anymore. He wanted to ask the priest to tell the believers to stop being so annoying. As a result, he received unprecedented enthusiastic prayers. Barbatos couldn't do anything about it.

The members of the Court of Owls may not be sincere in their belief in the dark god, but there is nothing more sincere than a poor graduate student believing in a boss who approves a generous budget.

Most members of the Court of Owls are looking for a class for themselves, but this group of genius villains in Gotham are not like that. They believe in science, pursue the truth endlessly, and never stop on the road of seeking. Because of their love, they are passionate.

The sunrise on the Gotham River Bay still has a touch of brilliant purple from the edge of orange-red. In the office of the attending physician of Arkham Asylum, Pride folded his arms and looked at the patients rushing to the laboratory downstairs, and said to Greed in his heart.

"I know that he runs to you every other day for no good."

"He doesn't just run to me. Since the elevator was built in the Abyss, he has been there most often. Otherwise, why would he suddenly change his hairstyle?"

"Sometimes, I always feel that I haven't taught him enough."

"You think there is not much of your shadow in him, but isn't this what you want?"

Pride was silent for a while. When he returned to the Hall of Thought, he saw Greed lying on the railing of the patio and smiling at him. He heard Greed say

"We understand each other at once and have the same thoughts. These are all divine revelations from heaven, just like the most beautiful flower that can grow from a seed."

Greed looked into Pride's eyes and said, "We all planted seeds in the yard, and you let the best flower you plant grow in front of everyone's window."

"And you have them all in your own flowerpot."

"So I am greedy, and you are Pride. I treasure and you show, but in the end I still borrow your light... The flower is beautiful."

Pride lowered his head and laughed in a low voice.

Barbatos is a good god.
