Chapter 329 Nuclear Energy Family and Firestorm
"Turn left in front, that's the main control room, but you have to go through this protective door. Well, I rebuilt this nuclear power plant after the big explosion... Let me think, what is the password? I wonder if they changed my password later..."
Ronnie Raymond, with his flaming hair flying, hovered in front of the iron door, sprayed flames from his hands, melted a hole in it, and flew over.
"In an emergency, Dr. Stein, we don't have time to try the passwords one by one."
"Well... that's OK. Your decision is correct." Dr. Stein said.
Dr. Martin Stein is a famous nuclear physicist and Nobel Prize winner. He founded the Hudson Nuclear Power Plant. In this universe, he is not the evil version of the parallel universe Earth 3, so he seems to be quite bad at fighting.
"Of course, because of passion - just kidding, I won't shout it out."
And Ronnie Raymond is a teenager. Compared with Dr. Stein, whose beard and hair are all white, he will act more directly.
When Dr. Stein was still building the Hudson Nuclear Power Plant, he was attacked by a group of anti-nuclear terrorists. They planned to steal plutonium and took a child who was on a research trip as a hostage. The child was Ronnie Raymond.
However, they caught the wrong person. Even though Ronnie was just a junior high school student, he was not weak in fighting. He also had a common problem among young people: he never thought about the consequences and had a courage unique to young people.
After all, not everyone would choose to attack the gunmen with bare hands.
Obviously, the gangsters did not choose to fight Ronnie fairly. After they robbed the things, they tied Ronnie and Dr. Stein into dumplings and threw them in the main control room.
They planned to use TNT explosives to detonate the nuclear reactor of the nuclear power plant, causing a nuclear disaster and killing Dr. Martin Stein, and Ronnie, the ignorant hostage, would also be killed.
Then there was a big explosion.
Martin Stein and Ronnie Raymond merged together to become the world's first nuclear superhero.
Since Martin Stein was in a coma at the time, Firestorm manifested in Ronnie's body, while Martin Stein appeared in his mind and gave rational advice.
They are superheroes formed by the fusion of two or more individuals through the Firestorm matrix. Ronnie, who is good at fighting, is responsible for controlling the body, like a truck driver;
The other individual, Dr. Steno, appears in a form of nothingness that can only be seen and perceived by the individual who controls the body.
They flew into the main control room.
"Humph, there's no one here."
Firestorm landed on the ground, and Ronnie said, "I didn't see any villains at all..."
Beside him, Dr. Stein was still talking:
"Ronnie, I still don't agree that we should come here directly to deal with the villains. We should first stop the meltdown reaction of the nuclear power plant, and then wait for Batman. He told us that he would..."
"Wait."
But Dr. Stein's words were interrupted by himself, and he found something wrong.
"Be careful, Ronnie. Something is wrong. I feel something unusual." Dr. Stein said, "The quarks at both ends of the neutron are spinning strongly and swinging back and forth. There is a group of people... or things there."
Ronnie's eyes widened.
He only saw someone not far away shooting a green light at a palm-sized box, and then the thing was magnified and turned into a very common...
Family refrigerator?
He raised his eyes and saw that the guy who emitted the light was half hidden in the shadow, with only a pair of eyes flashing a faint green light.
There were also several figures of different heights, weights and thins standing beside him, both men and women, with green eyes, which was indescribably weird.
A ray was shot out again, and a coffee table and a TV were magnified and appeared in the same place. A female shadow hung a clock on the wall, and two short shadows pushed a rotating seat.
Soon, the main control room, which occupied a large area, was decorated by them to look like a family in the 1980s.
Firestorm looked closely and found that each of them had a flashing nuclear energy symbol on their body.
"Hello, kid!"
Firestorm heard the tallest man among the group of people hiding in the shadows say, "You are really welcome."
This voice sounded like the most common "model husband" voice in TV shows in the 1980s.
"Oh, welcome to our happy family." A tall woman beside him came over and took the tall man's arm.
"Who are you?" Firestorm asked.
The tall man answered him and tightened his hat.
It was strange that they had been hiding in the shadows and were unwilling to go to where the light could shine.
Firestorm could only see the brown hair of the woman next to him reflecting a faint light in the shadows.
"You can call me dad."
The tall figure said, "And this beautiful woman is mom. Very beautiful, isn't she?"
He reached out and hugged his wife.
"Oh, dear, you, he is so mean."
The woman who called herself "mom" said, "And these are twins, brother and sister."
"Hey."
"Brother" smiled and greeted.
His mouth opened, and the part of the mouth emitted a bright green light in the dark, allowing people to clearly see a smiling face floating in the dark, revealing one tooth after another.
The "sister" came over, hugged the "father"'s arm, and said in a little girl's coquettish voice:
"Do you know who he is? Firestorm controls nuclear energy! I've seen him on TV, he's my dream lover!"
"Got you!"
Firestorm lowered his head and saw a little kid who was not even as tall as his knees and a dog wagging its tail running towards him. They both lowered their heads and hugged their legs.
Huh? Strange, why is there a piece of metal on the dog's back? Is it wearing dog clothes?
"And that's the little brother and the dog. Together we form a nuclear energy family!"
Firestorm felt a chill rushing up from his back to his head, pressing down the flaming hair on his forehead by two points.
"You, can't be here. If you continue like this, this nuclear power plant will be in danger of exploding. We are talking about complete destruction now, do you understand? Once it explodes, nothing will be left."
He said, and was ready for battle.
"Oh, it's not the case for us, little fool."
The nuclear family came out of the shadows, and Firestorm's eyes lingered on their faces. Each of them was dressed like a model family on TV in the 1980s, but half of their faces were a little tattered, revealing the mechanical nature under the bionic skin, without any appearance of living people.
The faint light of nuclear energy emanated from their eyes, and everyone had a fake smile on their faces like a living person.
Firestorm lowered his head stiffly and saw his "brother" and the dog lying on his legs, and they were the same.
"Be careful, Ronnie, they are robots, and they are very dangerous."
"What, you said they are robots?" Firestorm turned his head and said to Dr. Stein: "How is this..."
Outsiders could not see Dr. Stein's head floating in the air from Firestorm's perspective, so in their opinion, Firestorm was just like turning his head and talking to the air.
"Hiss? What? We are robots?"
Nuclear mother was so scared that she even dropped the nuclear waste water in the thermos in her hand to the ground.
When the nuclear family heard the word "robot", they all gasped and looked at each other.
Their faces showed anthropomorphic frustration and surprise, but they were like puppets imitating humans, full of unspeakable stiffness and terror.
"He said the word machine, which is really rude."
The nuclear brother said. The nuclear dog beside him whimpered in dissatisfaction.
The nuclear mother stepped forward, and she first changed her original expression to an expressionless look, and then changed to a slightly tangled expression, like changing the mask for a puppet in a stage play, but the real mask is very lifelike. If you don't see the process of her changing her face, you may even think that such a tangled expression is a bit sincere.
"We prefer to be called automated Americans."
She explained.
"Oh my God, this is a topic that cannot be touched."
The nuclear brother said:
"This is a sensitive word, buddy."
"Sister, our friend needs to take a etiquette lesson." The nuclear father said.
He did not call the nuclear sister his daughter. For these monsters, the so-called father, mother and sister are just part of their names.
"Yes, father." The nuclear sister replied.
"Do your best, Ronnie, don't underestimate them."
Dr. Stein reminded Firestorm in his ear.
"What? Hey, she said I'm her dream lover."
"......?"
Dr. Stein said honestly: "But the nuclear sister is a robot, you can't fall in love with her."
The doctor took Ronnie's words seriously. The elderly who stayed in the nuclear power plant to do nuclear experiments were not likely to be able to get the jokes of the young people.
However, the next second they saw the nuclear sister opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue to Firestorm: "Have a good dream!"
Boom!
Her mouth and eyes were emitting green light.
Outside the nuclear power plant.
The alarm was still ringing, and the personnel had almost been evacuated.
"Ah ...
Firestorm spun and knocked down countless steel walls and flew out, then accidentally fell into another warehouse, which was full of large barrels placed side by side with logos that Ronnie could not understand.
"Ah, my head..." Firestorm covered his head and climbed up: "I swear to make those two little guys and the dog holding my legs look good!"
"Ronnie, listen to me..."
"Got it, Doctor, I'm going to do my best to kill these rust buckets!"
Firestorm stretched out his fist to the sky, and then countless flames erupted from his body. The young superhero Firestorm was full of fighting spirit and the whole person was on fire!
Then he lit the barrel next to him.
"No, what I want to say is that this is a toxic waste storage room."
"... and I just lit these chemicals, good job."
Boom!
A white light flashed.
"Ronnie, get up."
Firestorm got up from the ground, he was a little shaky: "Where are we now?"
He looked up and saw that the surrounding scenes were all black and white, and Dr. Stein was standing in front of him wearing his shirt and brown vest.
"In my memory, in addition to sharing a body, we also share a joint mental picture."
Firestorm got up from the ground, he saw a group of American officers wearing medals as armor not far away.
"Oh, am I dressed inappropriately for such a scene?"
"No one can see or hear you and us. What we are watching now is a test I participated in a few years ago, conducted with Dr. Eric Shaner."
"Dr. Shaner created these robots in the hope of experimenting with the terrible mutations that nuclear energy would cause in ordinary people."
"But he built those robots too well. He originally expected that the impact of nuclear energy on them would be negative and destructive. However, those robots were not destroyed by the nuclear reaction. Instead, they created an explosion. After absorbing the blast energy, they all became robots that can use nuclear energy."
"Nuclear Dad Dad can emit nuclear radiation, Nuclear Mom can create electromagnetic pulses, Nuclear Brother can emit thermal pulses, and Nuclear Sister can emit shock waves..."
"They penetrated the entire base and then escaped."
"They have been on the run ever since."
"Got it, got it, so you mean it's up to us to stop them, got it."
"Yes, let's do it, I would say, unless our combined physical form has lost consciousness, by now, we must have been..."
"They've been imprisoned."
Firestorm opened his eyes and saw himself tied up like a dumpling in a large piece of metal, hanging above a swimming pool created by the Nuclear Family.
Firestorm wailed:
"Oh my God, Professor. You always make such accurate judgments, why can't you make a mistake once?"
"Not this time, wait, something is wrong."
Dr. Stein said.
Firestorm looked forward. The professor was right, at this time... it was not just the Nuclear Family fighting in front of him.
"Hello, I'm Deathstorm. This is our first meeting."
Firestorm began to gasp again.
He saw a Firestorm that looked exactly like him, except that the other person had a skull on his head.
"Maybe we should call Batman and ask him to save us." Dr. Stein's head appeared next to Firestorm: "Things seem to be a little different from what we imagined."
