Rebirth in America - Chapter 385
c384 candy taste
??
Marie Curie, Newton and Dante are all gone.
They went back with some of their keys. Although they didn’t get all the keys, it was enough. In fact, they have already prepared for the worst, that is, no one can get the key, and no one can enter the lunar space and get the legacy of the sage.
Now the situation is better than expected, at least I have part of the key in my hand!
Alex is the biggest winner in this transaction. The inheritance and treasures are all gone. No matter how big the cake is, it is still a painting. Only the candy eaten in the stomach is real.
He is now tasting the candy.
The first is that magical piece of metal, a metal that is said to be able to impart various concepts. When Alex got the metal, he naturally also got the method of forging, which is a kind of alchemy.
As a bonus, alchemy is quite interesting. Even Alex, a layman, could feel that alchemy pointed directly at the greatness of the mysteries of the universe.
The so-called alchemy is actually a variant of alchemy spread from the East to the West. It was once a technical method left over from ancient civilizations. After thousands of years of evolution, it became the branch of alchemy.
It is divided into three parts. First, it analyzes everything in the world, then it decomposes and then reshapes it. In this process, energy needs to be consumed, and alchemy also has its own practice methods.
Fortunately, Alex’s ripple energy can also be driven. After all, the Immortal Breathing Method is the energy of alchemy. It is very consistent with alchemy and there is no problem at all.
Alex got a “Encyclopedia of Alchemy” from Lord Newton, through which he can learn the so-called alchemy and then use it to forge the omnipotent metal.
Before Lord Newton left, he showed him what alchemy was like. At that time, Newton put his hands together and then slapped the floor. Something surprising happened. A statue grew out of thin air on the ground.
That’s the Statue of Liberty! A statue of the Statue of Liberty that has been shrunk many times!
Look at the process. Alex was very surprised. He almost thought he had entered the world of “Steel”. However, upon careful comparison, there are still many differences. At least he didn’t see the formation formation appear, and there were no patterns. Not so many photoelectric effects.
Afterwards, Alex carefully checked the floor and found that a large circle around the statue was lower. The alchemy Newton used still had to abide by the law of conservation of mass. He did not change the amount of matter, nor did he change the properties of matter, but only changed the shape of matter.
Even so, this is something quite remarkable.
Learning or something is simply a small thing for Alex. He quickly finished reading the book and mastered the techniques in “The Encyclopedia of Alchemy”. And he also followed the gourd’s instructions and made the statue disappear, and the floor returned to its original state.
As for the forging of that piece of metal, he hasn’t decided what to make yet. After you think of it, go for it.
Then there is the power gem, this gem is magical! Possess the property of converting mass into energy. Moreover, whatever energy is input, the energy can be output doubled.
After Mrs. Curie’s explanation, Alex mastered the skills of how to use this energy gem. If he controls it well, he will have a steady stream of ripple energy as long as he has this gem on him.
Finally, it is the turn of “The Law of the Holy Spirit”. In practical terms, the value of this book lies in three things. Slightly lower. Not high. For Alex, it was as if it was tailor-made.
There are already immortal breathing methods for exercising the body. As for the exercises for the spiritual soul, you have to rely on the “Holy Spirit Method”. According to the introduction of this book, when practiced to the end, this technique can make people transform into rainbows and ascend to heaven. Transcend the material world and become an eternal and immortal existence.
Even if it does not reach the level of rainbow transformation and ascension to the sky, it can still make a person’s soul extremely powerful. Even if it unfortunately dies midway, it can still make a person’s soul become a heroic spirit and survive for a long time.
Many people want to go this route. For example, Dante, Jonathan, Angelina, etc. Although they may not all practice this kind of technique, they are all similar and have the same purpose. After practicing the Immortal Breathing Technique to the end, there are also similar techniques. Angelina and Lao Dao must have practiced them. However, the “Holy Spirit Method” is more mysterious and more difficult to practice.
From the way Dante trained himself to become neither human nor ghost, he knew how difficult this path would be. Something must have gone wrong along the way, and as a result I had to abandon my body and keep switching from one body to another.
Alex had no intention of replacing the Immortal Breathing Method with the “Holy Spirit Method”. He just wanted to refer to this method and then choose a path that suited him.
At the beginning, Lao Dao said that he did not want Alex to follow the same path, as this might lead others astray. Only following your own path is the most suitable and correct one.
In this Dharma-ending era, the paths opened by our predecessors still hit a dead end and can no longer be exited. Only by opening up new paths can we walk out of a new world.
Alex does not want to repeat the path taken by his predecessors, he wants to follow his own path.
After reading “The Law of the Holy Spirit”, he gained a new understanding of the body, spirit, and soul. This understanding was based on his own experience and was combined with the views, methods, and experiences of his predecessors.
In a way, Alex has forged a new path of his own.
His training not only greatly improved his abilities, but also expanded them into new ones.
For example, he originally didn’t know how to materialize objects in the mental space. After practicing the revised “Holy Spirit Method”, he is now able to project objects in the mental space. If he doesn’t reach out and touch them, he can’t feel them. It’s true or false.
Alex waved his hand, and suddenly there was another person in front of him.
Yes, it is indeed a person.
Unfortunately, this is not a living person, but a projection of a doll.
Under his control, the doll behaves exactly like a real person. Even if he doesn’t pay attention to the doll, it can move and think on its own…
“Well, it seems that it can be used as an illusion.” Alex said to himself: “It would be great if it could be truly realized. Then I can make a clone to play with!”
As for projecting inanimate objects, he still has an idea, but he hasn’t implemented it yet.
Being immersed in exploring the unknown road, you will soon forget the passage of time. More than half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. During this period of time, Alex was practicing. The uninterrupted Immortal Breathing Method made his body stronger and stronger, and the practice of the “Holy Spirit Method” solidified his spirit and soul. Even to the point of being out of body.
The improvement of mental power and the growth of the soul also have an obvious impact on abilities, but this is nothing. What makes him even more excited is that he found a way to make the objects in the mental space truly materialized when projected out. For real objects.
The solution is simple, just combine alchemy with his abilities. When he wanted a table, he just alchemically made it out of the wood around him.
For Newton and others, the biggest problem of master alchemists is not energy. It is not about analysis and decomposition, but about the handling of details when reshaping.
After all, ordinary people’s imaginations will lose most of the details, and when they reshape objects, once the details are off. It is very likely that the things created by alchemy will be very different from the actual objects.
The way Newton and others solved such problems was that practice makes perfect! Only by refining something or a certain type of thing many times can the manufactured object not have so many defects during normal use.
Such [for more exciting novels, please search “hot&popular @小 # 说*网”] problem, for Alex, it is simply a trivial matter, not even a problem.
When he combined his abilities with alchemy. The ability is greatly improved, coupled with the effects of ripple energy and gems. That is simply not much weaker than Da in “Steel Refining”. He can refine various objects at will, whether they are tables, chairs, boxes and other objects with simple structures, or radios, televisions, and refrigerators. Such complex electrical appliances.
There was only one thing he couldn’t refine, and that was living things. There was no way he could transform the puppet into a living creature. This may be a limitation, or it may be that he hasn’t found the problem yet.
All in all, in addition to generating matter and refining life out of thin air, he can refine anything in his mental space.
He can do almost anything.
After Alex mastered this technique. Having such an idea, he felt that the world was starting to become a little interesting. But that wasn’t enough, he also made it more interesting.
He decided to create “Iron Man”!
But before that, he wanted to let everyone know what Iron Man is, and then come up with something like this. When the time comes, he wants to see how ordinary people react, how parents, brothers and sisters react, how grandparents react, and how people at the top of the pyramid react.
Alex felt excited just thinking about it. It would be such an interesting thing if one day he could wear Iron Man’s armor and fly in the sky or the universe.
Thinking of this, he quickly made a phone call and asked someone to come over. The name of the person he called was Stan Lee, a comic master from Marvel Comics. They had been in contact before, but it didn’t last long.
Stan Lee was surprised because he didn’t know why Alex was looking for him. When he hurried over, he realized that he had not shaved or changed his clothes, and he looked very sloppy.
“What do you want from me?” Stan Lee looked at Alex with some uneasiness. After all, his job and wealth were in the other’s hands.
Alex raised his eyes and glanced at the other person, and asked: “I asked you to draw the “Iron Man” before. Where is it now? How is the sale?”
After acquiring Marvel Comics and taking a stake in the comic company, Alex had communicated with Stan Lee and personally participated in the work of several comics. It was more about giving Stan Lee some suggestions and tips, including “Iron Man”, “Fantastic Four”, etc.
After Stan Lee heard this question, he finally felt calmer. It turned out to be something like this. It almost scared people to death. He thought for a while and then said: “Iron Man has published more than 50 issues in a row. Due to lack of manpower, it can only be changed from the original semi-monthly issue to a monthly issue. As for the sales, it should be pretty good.”
“That’s it, let’s publish more. I think it will be changed to three issues in January, on the 10th, 20th, and 30th. As for the manpower issue, I will ask people to increase it.” Alex wanted To let people understand “Iron Man”, it is natural to publish more related comics.
After Stan Lee listened. He frowned and said, “This arrangement seems inappropriate. It’s not an issue with the art manpower, but a problem with the screenwriting. If we can’t keep improving, I’m afraid the brand of “Iron Man” will be ruined.”
Alex nodded and said: “I have also considered this issue. The screenwriter of “Iron Man” will naturally need to add more people. However, I will participate in the production of the story outline and character setting. You can rest assured about this.”
Stan Lee wanted to say a few more words, but when he thought of the talents that Alex had shown, he quickly shut his mouth and stopped trying to dissuade him. He is also full of hope for Alex’s joining, at least he looks forward to the opportunity to work together.
“Snapped!”
What I didn’t expect was. Alex actually threw out a thick piece of draft paper. Some papers were filled with words, while others had some character designs or scene designs drawn on them.
In Stan Lee’s surprised eyes, he said: “This is the story outline and character settings I set, as well as part of the comic content. I estimate that I can make more than ten issues like this. Take it back and show it to them, if there is anything If you have any questions, you can communicate with me at any time.”
Since he was able to truly materialize objects in the mental space, he was able to omit many steps in the real space and take them out directly from the mental space. For example, I want to write a novel. Then let the puppet be written in the mental space first, and then materialize it into reality.
The same is true for drawing comics. As long as you have paper and ink, and then put your hands together, you can materialize everything you drew on the puppet.
This ability is extremely convenient!
Stan Lee turned over the draft paper on the table, and the more he read, the more excited he became. He is the chief cartoonist of Marvel Comics. Naturally, you can see how valuable the things in your hands are. In particular, the character setting, storyline, tight rhythm, etc. made him fascinated.
However, he soon discovered a problem: “This Iron Man is not very different from our previous story settings, and the character settings can be fooled, but the style of the picture may be a bit difficult to deal with.”
“Oh? Why is it so difficult?” Alex asked.
“Our current comic style is all about refreshing and clean. If we suddenly change back to the original style, we will probably lose some readers. The most critical issues are legal issues, pressure from public opinion, etc.”
With this said, Alex understood what Stan Lee was worried about. After all, American comics of their era have not yet gone through the darkest period, and are still subject to relevant legal provisions and close attention from media and public opinion. In particular, under the influence of Alex, American comics have embarked on a different path, which is somewhat like the style of Japanese comics of later generations.
In Stan Lee’s eyes, Alex’s “Iron Man” comic and setting are obviously in the same line as the old American comics. However, they have just transformed a few years ago. If they go back, what will happen? If it fails, Marvel Comics will be doomed.
In fact, Stan Lee has nothing to worry about. By this time in history, American comics had gotten rid of the constraints of relevant legal provisions and the pressure of media public opinion, and entered a glorious period. It’s just that because of Alex, this time came a little later.
When Alex realized this, he decided to use his influence to put things right. He smiled and said to Stan Lee: “Don’t worry, just do what I want. There will be no problem.”
Stan Lee was hesitant, and after returning to Marvel Comics, he carried out what Alex ordered, and then watched with trepidation the reactions from all parties, including the impact of relevant legal provisions, the attention of media and public opinion, and reader acceptance.
Surprisingly, the legal provisions were revoked on their own. It seemed that some people suggested that such regulations were too restrictive on culture. In addition, people reflected on the damage caused by the McCarthyism movement and people’s pursuit of freedom in this era, so there was an uproar. Shocked, the bill was changed.
This quiet change, UU Reading www.uukanshu. net, so that many people have not reacted before it was completed. It is not an exaggeration to call it the fastest speed in history.
There is also the media public opinion, which does not pay attention to the affairs of their comic industry at all. Everyone is focused on the events that happened on the Vietnam battlefield. As for the dark side of human beings reflected in comics, that is nothing compared to war. The news broadcast on TV now shows how many people died and massacres occurred all day long. The media simply cannot afford to be angry with these little caricatures.
For readers, the reaction is very violent. After many years, people see the familiar style and content again, which is a hundred times more enjoyable than eating watermelon on a hot day. At this time, American comics had suffered a blow, and more than 90% of the comic companies had been lost. The rest followed the trend and drew some lighter comic styles.
In other words, authentic American comics have long been extinct. How could they not be excited when they saw Alex’s new “Iron Man”!
All of a sudden, these issues of “Iron Man” released by Marvel Comics were selling like crazy, almost becoming expensive in Luoyang. Seeing this situation, many comics people exclaimed: “The spring of American comics has arrived!”
