Chapter 758: Where Are You Going, Peter? (First Update)
Chapter 758: Where Are You Going, Peter? (First Update)
The essence of science and magic is the same; they just manifest differently.
Jerry, having started with magic, spends most of his time researching it, with only occasional forays into science, primarily focusing on biological knowledge due to his work on the Witch Enhancer.
Today, he saw Otto use a device and a tiny drop of tritium to create a miniature sun. Although it was far from a real sun, it did have a strong resemblance.
This observation sparked a new idea in Jerry's mind.
Creating a planet fully suitable for life requires a sun, which is an essential component. However, creating a sun is no easy task for either him or Tiamul, and it is far more time-consuming than creating a planet.
Previously, he managed to create a sun because he had the Eternal Flame as a base, which significantly reduced the time required.
But what if he used science instead of magic, refining the technology for creating suns? Could this drastically reduce the time needed to create a sun?
If Otto could perfect the current technology, Jerry could use the Enlargement Spell to scale up the experiment machine to create a giant sun generator capable of producing a real sun.
As for the rare tritium element, that wouldn't be a problem. He could convert magic power to supply it infinitely.
With this approach, once the machine is activated, a new sun could form in just a few hours. With a sun in place, Tiamul and the others could focus on creating planets and life, greatly increasing efficiency.
Currently, he has successfully entered the parallel universe through Spider-Man and cast the "Brand" magic, seemingly without any issues.
However, until the final moment, it's impossible to predict if any other obstacles will arise.
There's a possibility that a month from now, when he absorbs this solar system into the Ring Universe, Eternal might appear.
Even if everything goes as smoothly as he expects, the more solar systems he absorbs, the higher the risk of attracting the attention of higher-level beings, especially if planets in the parallel universe start disappearing in large numbers.
Thus, absorbing solar systems from the parallel universe is a temporary workaround, not a long-term solution. The most fundamental way to expand the Ring Universe is to create planets and life himself.
This method is the safest and most secure, with no external interference.
"What's happening?"
As the nuclear energy aggregate continued to grow, the entire building began to shake. Various metal objects in the room, including guests' necklaces and rings, were drawn into the aggregate like magnets.
"Don't panic, it's just a power surge. I'll stabilize it soon!"
Sweating profusely, Otto struggled to control the nuclear energy aggregate with his octopus mechanical arms, trying to make it as stable as possible and less volatile.
However, he underestimated the power of the aggregate. The nearby monitors were already sounding alarms, indicating that the machine was overloaded and struggling to cope.
Even the iron sheets on the walls of the experiment room were being pulled in by the gravitational force of the nuclear energy, instantly turning to dust.
If this continues, even if Otto can eventually stabilize the nuclear energy, the entire building will collapse, and all the guests will be buried alive here.
"Everyone, please leave immediately, leave this place! Otto, stop your experiment right now!"
Otto's wife, Rose, clearly realized the danger. She loudly urged everyone to evacuate while walking towards Otto.
Unfortunately, the nuclear energy was too volatile and had already breached the specially designed safety shield around the machine, which was meant to prevent accidents. The roof above was shattered by the leaking nuclear energy, forcing Rose to retreat.
Seeing the roof already broken, the people present no longer dared to take any chances. They screamed and rushed towards the door of the Experiment Room.
Seeing this, Peter, who was standing next to Jerry, was about to slip into the crowd to find a secluded spot to put on his spider suit and transform into Spider-Man to stop Otto from continuing the experiment. However, a hand suddenly grabbed his arm.
"Peter, where are you going?"
Jerry wanted to see if this experiment could ultimately create the so-called artificial sun.
Although the current situation was clearly untenable, this was the first attempt, and unexpected issues were understandable. Otto was still desperately trying to control the situation with the octopus mechanical arms.
There was a chance that with his efforts and adjustments, the experiment could gradually improve and eventually succeed.
Even if it failed, having complete data from this experiment would greatly increase the chances of success next time. Therefore, Jerry couldn't let Peter interfere.
He needed Otto to create a machine that could truly generate a sun.
"It's too dangerous here; we need to evacuate immediately."
Peter hadn't expected Jerry to grab his arm. With the increasing volatility of the nuclear energy, he couldn't reveal his identity, so he quickly found an excuse and tried to break free from Jerry to find a place to change into his spider suit.
However, to his surprise, when he tried to pull away, Jerry didn't budge, which made Peter's eyes widen.
After being bitten and mutated by the spider, his physical abilities had greatly improved. Not only could he climb walls and shoot webs like a spider, but he also had superhuman vision and hearing, and immense strength.
He had roughly calculated his strength and found that under normal circumstances, he could exert around fifteen tons of force. If he pushed to his limit, he could exceed twenty tons.
"Shut it down! Shut it down! Dr. Otto, I order you to shut it down!"
On Jerry's right, Harry didn't flee like the others. Instead, he anxiously shouted at Otto to stop.
Otto, clearly unwilling to see his dream shattered, continued to use the octopus mechanical arms to try to contain the nuclear energy aggregate, hoping to stabilize it. He reassured Harry:
"I can control it; just give me a little more time. It will stabilize, and we will succeed!"
Harry, watching the building shake violently, roared in anger:
"I'm in charge here, and you must listen to me!"
He no longer cared whether the experiment would succeed; his only concern was preventing the building from collapsing and endangering everyone's lives.
At that moment, as the nuclear energy's gravitational pull intensified, a large iron cabinet not far behind Harry flew towards the nuclear energy aggregate.
