Chapter 211 Hughes No. 1 (1/2)

[Ability—Super Vision (Bronze)]

[Ability description: At first, Superman could only see things near him. As the comic plot develops, he has super long-range vision that can see anything in the city, and can see microscopic things that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Mysterious power. 】

[Ability - Super Transformation (Black Iron)]

[Ability description: Superman has strong adaptability and learning ability, which not only allows him to adapt to the earth's ecological environment, but also adapts to different energies and converts them into his own power. 】

In the new issue of "The Courier Daily", Colin has unlocked two new abilities.

The former is an upgrade in the original ability. The [Super Vision] after the [Bronze] level not only becomes wider in the range of vision, from the original ten kilometers to the city range, but also improves the [Microscopic Vision]. The effect of [eyesight], the mysterious power mentioned at the end of the text description, means that Colin's eyes can already see the existence of magic.

On the other hand, the new ability [Super Transformation] is obviously designed to combat magic.

As a comic book character, Superman may need weaknesses to enrich the character's plot and make the story more watchable.

But for Colin personally, he naturally does not want such a weakness to appear in himself.

Therefore, the [Super Conversion] ability designed is undoubtedly aimed at Superman's original low magic resistance. It not only helps him solve the problem of being powerless against magic power, but also can use it through new abilities.

From the perspective of comic creation, such an unsolvable ability design will definitely be cut down by editors in the later stage, or even deliberately forgotten or ignored.

Even Colin himself often uses this method when creating "Superman" comics.

For example, the ability [invisibility], if mentioned frequently, will have an impact on many daily plots of Clark as a reporter and Superman's infiltration, so he usually deliberately does not add this ability when creating.

This point also appeared in Superman in subsequent era changes.

When the comics changed from the Silver Age to the Bronze Age, although the screenwriter did not restart Superman's plot, he also mentioned in passing that Superman's abilities began to be weakened in order to make him scientific. This was because Superman had to be attenuated for the balance of the plot. .

Of course, that was after the Superman comics, at least in Colin, the creator's version.

Not only will Superman's abilities not diminish, but they will become stronger and stronger.

…

Rumble——

Just as Colin was thinking, a huge roar suddenly came from his ears.

Then there was a noisy wheel rotation, and everything around him began to move backwards rapidly. A strong pull appeared on his body, and at the same time, a reminder came from the cockpit on the side.

"Be prepared!"

As Howard Hughes's words fell, 'Hughes No. 1' began to slowly climb up, and the sound in Colin's ears became more and more noisy. This was the sound coming from the engine.

Whoosh——

Suddenly, with a huge crashing sound, 'Hughes 1' plunged into the sky.

"ah……"

At the same time, Colin's ears heard the cheers of Howard Hughes.

"It's exciting, isn't it?!"

Under the huge engine sound of 'Hughes One', Hughes had to raise his voice and shout to Colin on the co-cockpit.

"This feeling of flying into the sky makes my heart beat faster every time..."

Because of his previous sailing experience, Howard Hughes's second sea voyage went extremely smoothly. He took his photography team and hired color transfer process workers to complete the depiction of the iceberg lens, and soon after returning to New York, he Colin extended an invitation to begin production on the "Titanic" movie.

As the screenwriter of the script, Colin readily agreed to the other party's invitation.

As a well-known producer and director in Hollywood, Howard Hughes has good connections and connections, which is what Colin needs.

In fact, he has never given up his attention to Paramount. Hollywood is also one of Colin's important territories for expanding Superman's influence in the future.

However, compared to the time-consuming means of transportation like steam locomotives, Hughes had his own ideas.

'Hughes One' was the first new aircraft developed and produced by the Hughes Aircraft Manufacturing Company at his aircraft repair shed in Los Angeles.

Howard Hughes' goal this time was to fly back to Los Angeles on this plane, so he specially had 'Hughes No. 1' sent to New York.

It must be said that this is a crazy decision. It would be impossible for an ordinary person to agree to Hughes' invitation to fly.

After all, Howard Hughes, the pilot on this trip, actually did not have much flying experience. According to his own description, he once worked as a pilot for American Airlines with a forged certificate in two months. It was also the only day in Hughes' life that he had systematic contact with aircraft operations.

But, obviously, Colin is not an ordinary person.

In the real world, although his abilities have been weakened to varying degrees, they are still enough for him to survive dangerous situations unharmed.

In other words, even if there was an accident on the plane controlled by Howard Hughes, the person who would survive in the end would definitely be Colin.

After all, with the [Flying] ability, he can land slowly and smoothly even with float.

What's more, as far as Colin knew, although Howard Hughes was crazy, he was also extremely talented in flying airplanes. He even flew a plane across the continental United States and flew 14,824 miles around the world in 91 hours and 14 minutes.

It can be said that this trip to New York and Los Angeles on the "Hughes One" may seem dangerous, but it is actually extremely safe.

The fact was just as Colin expected. After Hughes 1 took off, Howard Hughes on the cockpit showed an extremely professional attitude. He skillfully controlled the plane to Los Angeles, the destination of the trip. , and at the same time, the expression under the helmet became extremely focused and calm.

In the co-cockpit, Colin looked at the floating clouds below him, and everything seemed to be within reach.

"It's magnificent, isn't it?"

In the cockpit, Hughes controlled the direction and shouted loudly to Colin beside him.

"This feeling of being one with the sky is hard to forget no matter how many times you experience it, as if the entire sky is under your control..."

"indeed."

Nodding, Colin could somewhat understand Hughes's inner thoughts.

If Hughes' dream in the sky still needs to be realized through an airplane, Colin is a real being who can fly by himself.

The unrestrained feeling of placing your body in the sky is indeed fascinating.

"I have always been regarded as a crazy person, and now it seems that you are similar to me. No, you are even crazier than me, Colin."

Calmly operating the aircraft steering wheel in his hand, Howard Hughes turned his head and glanced at Colin beside him, and couldn't help but say.

"If you weren't crazy, how could you have easily agreed to my invitation to fly back to Los Angeles?"

Even Howard Hughes himself had no confidence in his aircraft piloting skills, but Colin agreed to the flight without hesitation.

"Maybe it's because I believe that you will definitely deliver me to my destination smoothly."

Colin didn't explain much about this, he just said casually.

Faced with Colin's answer, Howard Hughes took a deep look at him, and then turned his attention back to 'Hughes One'.

"You are very talented, Colin. Are you interested in learning to fly a plane with me?"

"With pleasure."

…

"Colin?"

Los Angeles, Walt Disney Studios.

Lillian looked at Colin who appeared in the studio with a surprised expression on her face.

"When did you arrive in Los Angeles?"

After her notification, Walter quickly walked out of the studio and said with a surprised look on his face.

"Just now."

After greeting Walter, Colin looked him up and down, especially lingering on the other man's messy hair, before replying.

Sensing Colin's gaze on his hair, Walter explained in embarrassment: "You came so suddenly, I didn't even have time to prepare."

Generally speaking, Walter would receive early notice and freshen up everything before meeting Colin. It can only be said that Colin's visit this time was too sudden.

Reaching out to take the hat from his wife Lillian and putting it on his head, covering his slightly messy hairstyle, Walt returned the topic to Colin's visit: "I just got off the train. Soon?"

"No, I didn't come by train this time."

"Not a train?"

Hearing Colin's reply, Walter couldn't help but look at each other with his wife Lillian, and then under the suspicious gazes of the two, Colin revealed the means of transportation for his trip.

"In fact, I arrived on Hughes' new plane."

"Hughes? Howard Hughes!"

Reacting to the owner of this name, Walt looked at Colin in front of him with an expression of surprise and admiration. The news that Howard Hughes made airplanes was not a secret in Hollywood, but this was the first time that Walt heard that someone dared to sit on it. Hughes built the plane, and the man actually survived.

"So, how does it feel to fly?"

As for the surprise, Walter couldn't help but curiously asked.

"It's not bad, although it's a little uncomfortable to sit on."

As an aircraft developed during the Great Depression, Colin naturally did not expect a perfect flying experience. At least taking the Hughes aircraft was a good choice in terms of time.

"But compared to taking a steam locomotive, there is a significant difference in time. It only took us about six hours to arrive in Los Angeles."

"Six hours!"

Hearing the time it took Colin to fly, Walter couldn't help but show a look of shock on his face.

He once took a steam train from New York back to Los Angeles. It was a journey measured in days, if the plane could really shorten the time to a few hours.

"Walt..."

Noticing the eager expression in her husband's eyes, Lillian had to remind her: "I don't allow you to fly on an airplane casually, especially an airplane made by a crisis guy like Howard Hughes. God knows..."

Halfway through, Lillian seemed to realize that there was a person who had sat in Howard Hughes in front of her, and she quickly apologized to Colin.

"Sorry, Colin, that's not what I meant."

"No, I can understand that."

Colin didn't have too many feelings about this. After all, even Howard Hughes himself admitted that flying on the plane he flew was a pretty crazy decision.

"Although flying is not considered a safe way to travel so far, I think it will become one of the important means of transportation for Americans in the future. In fact, Hughes has already begun designing commercial aircraft. Maybe it won’t be long before you and Lillian can fly from Los Angeles to New York in a few hours via this kind of plane.”

"If that day comes, I will definitely go to your newspaper office first."

For now, his imagination about airplanes only remains in Colin's description. Even Walt himself doesn't actually believe Colin's statement.

After briefly understanding the means of transportation Colin used to travel to and from Los Angeles, the conversation between the two quickly turned to the new animation designed by Disney.

So far, the production of the "Symphony of Confusion" series of animations is still in progress. After "Flowers and Trees", Disney has switched animation technology from black and white to color. In a recent episode of animation,

Donald Duck, this animated character designed by Colin, made his debut as Mickey's friend in the animated series.

Due to the length of the animation, the early image of Donald Duck was not that three-dimensional, but this grumpy duck wearing a sailor hat still left a very deep impression on people.

Because of this, Walt has already made preparations to design an animation in which Donald Duck will be the protagonist alone in the coming time. He has even written to Colin asking for his thoughts. Now, Colin's sudden visit naturally gave Walt the opportunity to continue asking about the plot arrangement. For this reason, he even planned to ask Colin to write a script specifically related to Donald Duck.

In addition to the appearance of Donald Duck, Disney or Walt has so far focused more on the creation of the new animation, that is, "Snow White", as Disney's first animation after "Flowers and Trees" A full-length color animation, Walt had great expectations for it.

However, during the creation process, "Snow White" was not all smooth sailing. On the contrary, the entire animation production was full of difficulties.
