Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 152 Two Epoch-making Products

Du Mu took Thor's hammer in his hand. He really didn't expect that his casual try would be so successful.

The alarms of S.H.I.E.L.D. continued to sound. Du Mu frowned slightly, not wanting to have too much contact with them, so he wrapped up Thor's hammer with magic power to deflect the light.

call out!
An arrow shot over and hit the Thor's hammer that Du Mu had just hidden.

The moment the arrow touched Thor's hammer, countless high-polymer fiber ropes shot out from all directions, ready to cover the thief.

But in Du Mu's opinion today, their speed is too slow.

Du Mu just let the arrow hit Thor's hammer, and he was a little curious whether Hawkeye's arrow had any special function.

As one of the few ordinary people in the Avengers, Du Mu quite likes Hawkeye's combat method of using different arrows in different situations.

If the one who came to get Thor's hammer was not me, but Loki, I guess this would at least make the other party reveal his figure.

However, these high-polymer fiber ropes hit nothing. They were neither blown away nor blocked. Instead, they remained in place as if there were only air, circling the arrow shot by Hawkeye several times before falling to the ground.

Only then did countless agents enter the room where Thor's hammer was located, surrounding the location where Thor's hammer disappeared, holding up their guns and looking nervous.

Hawkeye sighed, walked out from among the agents, came to the original location of Thor's hammer, and picked up the arrow that was wrapped like a dumpling on the ground.

An invisible, elusive enemy... Is it Loki?
But according to the information provided by Thor, it is unlikely that Loki can lift Thor's hammer. If he could, Loki should have taken Thor's hammer away when Thor met Loki at this base.

Could it be because Loki has already used Hulk's blood?
Such speculation made Hawkeye look solemn. He put the bow back on his back, turned around and went to the control room to report the current situation to the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

"Commander, Thor's hammer was taken away by an invisible person. I'm not sure if it was Loki. There are no other traces around."

"If it was a giant like the Hulk, it should at least leave some footprints."

"But considering that Loki possesses magic that we don't quite understand, perhaps he has a way to hide his whereabouts as well."

There was silence for a moment on the other side of the communicator, and then Nick Fury's voice came: "I'll ask Thor when his training is finished."

"But my intuition tells me that even if Loki used Hulk's blood on himself, he would not be able to lift Thor's hammer. Even if he could, the noise would not be so small."

"Check the details again, Barton. I doubt there is anyone else in the dark besides Loki."

Hawkeye's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he responded carefully: "Understood, sir."

Du Mu threw Thor's hammer up and down in his hands and caught it again. He was a little surprised when he listened to Hawkeye's report.

They actually knew Loki's information at this time?

There is no doubt that this information could only have been obtained through Thor.

But think about it, Hulk made too much noise back then, and the stronger he showed, the more precious his blood became.

This priceless treasure was delivered to the military by Hulk in a formal manner. Obviously, there would be no hostility due to their research. It was truly a net asset without any worries.

In the end...it was stolen.

What is more painful than not buying a 100 billion lottery ticket?
You bought it, won it, and then it was stolen.

It was a despair and anger that made people's eyes red, their hearts and lungs anxious, and their livers and intestines broken!
In the past, Ross was the only one who cared about Hulk that much, because he wanted to form a new army of super soldiers.

But now, because of Ross's recklessness and arrogance, a conflict no less than a local war broke out between him and Hulk, which made Hulk's status in the hearts of every American government rise sharply.

It is obviously not a nuclear bomb, but it is a hundred-meter-long flame giant that can almost crush modern troops. It is hard to imagine how much wealth it can bring in the era of nuclear deterrence.

Just thinking about what they have lost, most of the top American officials probably didn't sleep well this week.

This is probably the reason why General Ross was dismissed from all his positions in just one night.

Losing soldiers under your command is a small matter, but losing Hulk's blood is a big matter.

Coupled with the unclear relationship between the two as father-in-law and son-in-law, the top brass' blood pressure would probably surge when they thought that there was someone who not only controlled the army, but also had a close relationship with Hulk and might even embezzle Hulk's blood. They would probably get up from bed in the middle of the night to skin Ross.

With such a serious matter as the loss of blood, how could the military not conduct a carpet search throughout New Mexico?

SHIELD is researching Thor's hammer here in a secretive manner, so the military will naturally list this place as a key suspect.

Fortunately, Thor's hammer could not be moved, and other facilities were all portable equipment. There was no other confidentiality or privacy at all. After pretending to be angry, Nick Fury opened the door for convenience, which made the military owe him a favor.

It's a pity that all the goodwill shown to Ross before was invalidated because of his death.

After discovering that the current situation was very different from the original movie, Du Mu focused his senses on the entire base and pieced together the information bit by bit as the agents worked and communicated privately.

Du Mu nodded in understanding. It must be said that Thor knew his brother very well. When he heard about the disappearance of Hulk's blood, he guessed that it was Loki's doing.

But he didn't know that he would later take the blood back from Loki.

Du Mu also didn't expect that Thor is now... actually recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D.

It's not too much to say that he was recruited, as Saul is not a criminal. It should be said that he was hired.

After all, Thor is the prince of Asgard and the nominal owner of Thor's hammer.

In the original book, SHIELD basically had a laissez-faire attitude towards Thor, because they really had no idea about Thor's hammer, so they just watched and waited for the situation to develop.

But this time, there was a major incident of the loss of Hulk's blood, and Thor revealed a clue that it might have been stolen by Loki, which not only made his identity more credible, but also passively involved the other party in this major undercurrent event.

In this situation, letting Thor leave would actually harm him and might cause him to be targeted by the already angry military. So Nick Fury brought Thor into the S.H.I.E.L.D. system in the name of recruiting a new agent to protect him.

Or in other words…protect America.

Nick Fury has really seen the stupidity of the military this time. A scientist who was almost invincible under a nuclear bomb has already been forced to leave. Nick Fury can't bear it. The military has also offended the heir to the throne of Asgard and made him an enemy of the United States.

After understanding the current situation, Du Mu temporarily left the base and began to study the Thor's hammer in his hand.

He picked up Thor's hammer, and there was no strange phenomenon in the sky and the earth, no lightning or thunder, no dark clouds covering the sky.

This is normal, because Du Mu did not get the recognition of Thor's Hammer, but "blinded" Thor's Hammer.

He used magnetism to completely wrap Thor's hammer, isolating it from all other electromagnetic signals around it, and then used the method of manipulating the magnetic force to lift up Thor's hammer.

As Du Mu expected, Thor's hammer's perception of the outside world was indeed based on magnetism... or lightning.

Thor's hammer is of course sensitive to the outside world, otherwise how could it fly into Thor's hands after he met the requirements? And how could he tell whether it was Thor who picked him up or someone else who picked him up?

As a divine artifact with its own spirituality, Mjolnir will respond to things in the external world. Unfortunately, its method of perception happens to be the electromagnetics that Du Mu can control now.

Mjolnir didn't even know whether he was still there or being lifted up. In his perception, the electromagnetic field in the outside world suddenly stopped changing, and he probably felt a little confused.

According to this principle, Du Mu discovered that even if Thor really regained the recognition of Thor's hammer, as long as he did not hold it in his hand but threw it out, Du Mu could take it directly.

Mastering the ability to control electromagnetism is equivalent to mastering Mjolnir's five senses, which is something that only magical mutant abilities can do.

I heard that Thor and Magneto fought in the comics, but in the movies, TV shows and animations that Du Mu watched, the two never had any intersection, so he never saw Magneto using Thor's hammer.

Du Mu looked at Mjolnir in his hand and sighed inwardly that it was a pity.

If he really had gained the recognition of Thor's hammer and possessed the power to control lightning, he would not need to go to Tony to exchange the Ark reactor now.

The lightning reserve in Thor's hammer is so vast that one electric shock can fully charge Tony, and there is no way to use it up.

But in Du Mu's own hands, Mjolnir is now just a heavier block of iron.

He could block Mjolnir's senses, but he couldn't create the illusion that he was Thor. Mjolnir was now in an autistic state. Although he didn't know whether he was being held by someone, he didn't release any electricity or hurt anyone.

After studying it for a long time, Du Mu found that Mjolnir was of no use to him, so he lost interest.

But Du Mu couldn't help it. He picked up the strap on Mjolnir's handle and started turning the hammer.

While watching the movie, every time he saw Thor wielding his hammer, he felt itchy and had long wanted to try it.

After trying it, Du Mu immediately felt the horror of Mjolnir.

Although it cannot release lightning in its own hands, and due to the enchantment on it, Mjolnir's true weight is constantly being weakened by magic.

But its mass itself did not change... Du Mu could hardly calculate its density. He only knew that under the influence of pure centripetal force, Mjolnir's inertia began to carry an unparalleled impact force.

Du Mu relied on magnetic control to drive the direction of Mjolnir's impact potential energy, suddenly changing it to diagonally above him.

The huge inertia instantly pushed Du Mu out.

Du Mu felt the strong wind pressure brought by the instantaneous acceleration, and he didn't expect that he would be thrown out.

It's so unscientific, but it's magical.

It's a pity that Du Mu did not have actual control over Mjolnir. After subtracting the gravity, it really led Du Mu to fly a parabola according to its own mass and the inertia brought by Du Mu's swinging, and flew directly from New Mexico to Missouri.

Although it took quite a while, this flying method was indeed very novel. However, most people might have their arms torn apart by Mjolnir's initial speed, and only a few people could experience this flying method.

And because of the magic that Mjolnir possessed, it was only affected by the weak force of gravity. Du Mu did not fall straight to the ground, but landed gently on the ground as if it had fallen naturally.

At least for someone of Du Mu's level, it was no different from falling lightly to the ground.

Du Mu tossed Thor's hammer twice in his hand and felt that he had had enough fun.

This flying speed is indeed too slow for Du Mu, so it is enough to play with it once. It is not cost-effective to use it for traveling.

After all, it uses its own mass and inertia to move, but its initial speed does not even break the sound barrier, and it will only get slower and slower afterwards.

Du Mu put Mjolnir into his storage bag, looked around, and found that there was a small town not far away.

He borrowed some electromagnetism from the power grid extending from the town, then took a step forward, stepped on the flying sword, and condensed a magnetic coil in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, Du Mu accelerated to five times the speed of sound and flew towards New York.

In New Mexico, first the military lost Hulk's blood, and then S.H.I.E.L.D. lost Thor's hammer. The occurrence of these two events suddenly made the entire state of New Mexico a little nervous.

On the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sky carrier, Nick Fury frowned as he looked at the information processing personnel below, then looked at the blond man in the training room next to him who easily threw out and knocked down other agents.

He thought of Dr. Banner, the recent billionaire Peter Parker, and Tony Stark returning from Afghanistan.

To be honest, these people were once on a list in Nick Fury's mind, and he originally planned to contact them one by one and have them join the Avengers plan he founded.

But as time goes by, they are all more or less shrouded in a veil of mystery...The originally clean resumes all become blurred and contradictory at some point.

According to Nick Fury's experience, such a covert operation that happened at the same time and could cover up S.H.I.E.L.D.'s intelligence must have been done by a lean but powerful organization.

There must be a mysterious organization in the dark that is also planning something and has already contacted these candidates that they had originally chosen.

Add to that the loss of Hulk's blood and Thor's hammer...if it was really the work of the same covert organization, Nick Fury could only be secretly shocked and force himself to remain calm on the surface.

Next, I need to thoroughly investigate the internal affairs of SHIELD, at least to ensure that I have people I can trust.

————When Du Mu returned to New York State, he first went to the headquarters of Stark Industries. When he found that Tony was not there, he flew directly to Tony Stark’s mansion.

In the process, he was also collecting information from conversations with passers-by and newspapers.

There was no need to stop for a long time. With Du Mu's current perception ability, he could read the entire content of a newspaper in a newsstand even if he just glanced at it with his peripheral vision. Even whispers from hundreds of meters away could be captured by Du Mu.

An ordinary person might be overwhelmed by such a huge amount of information, but Du Mu's mental strength allows him to easily organize all the information into categories and find the refined content he needs from all the useless information.

This feeling is very strange, as if a few seconds can be spent as hours by ordinary people.

It seems that Du Mu was just passing through a place in a hurry, but in fact, the information he received and the intelligence he processed made him know the place better than a tenant who had lived there for one or two years.

Therefore, Du Mu also had a brief grasp of the situation in New York.

The number one trending topic now is Peter's return, but he completely denied his disappearance and just said that he lost his phone while on vacation on an island.

The information about General Ross has been banned from the entire Internet. There are almost no related reports on the Internet and in newspapers, but people's memories will not be blocked by power. There are still many people who are enthusiastically discussing the ins and outs of the whole incident.

It's just that there are mostly conspiracy theories, and the number of people who know the truth is not as many as the people in New Mexico, and almost no analysis of the real situation can be found in their mouths.

The second most searched thing is... Tony decided to cut funding for military projects and no longer develop weapons himself. He promised to gradually transform Stark Enterprises into an energy company in the future.

Du Mu nodded. He still remembered that in the original movie, Tony completely closed the military industry department and stopped producing any weapons. But now Tony just cut funding and slowly shifted direction.

This is much better than Du Mu expected. Without experiencing the subsequent torture and Ethan's sacrifice, Tony has obviously not been filled with passion and still retains some of his capitalist rationality.

Although Du Mu didn’t know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, it was definitely a good thing for Stark Enterprises.

This prevented Stark Enterprises' stock from fluctuating drastically, but only caused a slight decline, because Stark Enterprises was still making money, and it was just equivalent to announcing the future research direction.

I just don’t know whether Tony has developed the iron armor or whether he plans to become Iron Man.

Tony's home is a spacious, multi-story residence built into the top of a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

The exterior of the building is a modernist design, while the interior is minimalist and not overly complicated. The wall facing the sea is almost entirely floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing you to enjoy the beautiful seaside scenery from the greatest angle.

When Du Mu entered the house, he immediately used his magic power to scan and sensed countless eavesdropping devices.

Du Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, and directly pulled out these eavesdropping devices from various corners and held them in his hands.

This also made the camera point to Du Mu's position.

This time, Du Mu finally withdrew the magic power he used to refract light and was exposed to the camera.

Du Mu threw the damaged bugs directly onto the table, sat on the sofa, looked at the camera, and smiled: "I didn't call the police. Tony is really amazing. He obviously didn't have a portrait of me, but he still let you know who I am?"

Jarvis's electronic synthesized voice came from the loudspeaker in the villa: "Yes, sir, you should be Mr. Du Mu who rescued Tony in Afghanistan. I have informed Mr. Tony in the laboratory of your presence."

"Also, thank you for finding these eavesdropping devices that were not under surveillance. This was my negligence."

Du Mu nodded and looked at the scenery outside the window. He had to say that the location was perfectly chosen. With no other buildings in sight, it was like a real-time dynamic ocean oil painting.

Du Mu also heard the sound of Tony stumbling out of the laboratory and waited patiently for his arrival.

Just as Tony was about to enter the living room, he suddenly stopped, cleared his throat, adjusted his hair, and then pretended to walk out of the blind spot nonchalantly.

At the same time, he said, "It's not difficult to describe you. After all, among all the people I know, you are the only one who wears this kind of oriental gown."

"Oh, no, it seems that Dr. Banner is also wearing clothes of similar style."

Obviously, Tony has not been oblivious to what is happening outside during this period. He has also been collecting information intensively.

Tony sat down across from Du Mu seemingly casually, fiddled with the bug on the table, raised his eyebrows and said, "They are all high-end products, not like those poor guys from the FBI or CIA."

Du Mu looked at Tony and said, "I came here this time to do business with you."

"Of course, everyone wants to do business with Tony Stark."

When Tony heard about doing business, he immediately smiled confidently and sat in a much more relaxed position.

"But you saved my life before and dug me out of the quagmire of Afghanistan. How much should I pay for this deal?"

Du Mu casually said, "That's just a prerequisite for doing business with you, just treat it as a bonus."

Tony narrowed his eyes slightly: "Free is the most expensive."

He slowly straightened his sitting posture, as if he was standing at the negotiation table for the first time in place of his father, and said seriously: "How about you reveal a few more pieces of information to me, and then add it to this life-saving favor and exchange it for the reward I need to pay?"

In order to avoid Du Mu's misunderstanding, Tony showed his sincerity in advance and said, "It's okay for me to pay in advance, so what kind of business do you want to do with me? I'll state in advance that Stark Group's military orders are full and there are no arms to sell to you."

Du Mu looked at Tony's chest, where the Ark reactor was gone.

"Have you purchased the customized advanced repair potion from Peter Pharmaceuticals?" Du Mu asked.

Although Tony didn't understand what this question had to do with the other party's business, he nodded anyway.

"Of course, the effect of the medicine is really good. My body has recovered perfectly. If there was no shrapnel in my heart before, and I'm not sure whether it can be discharged automatically, I heard that I don't even need anesthesia, and the hole in my chest can be filled."

Du Mu smiled, looked at Tony and said, "I need a controllable nuclear fusion reactor. The size doesn't matter, as long as it can discharge continuously according to my needs."

Tony raised his eyebrows and smiled: "So you are here to buy energy? It seems that you know that my company is turning to clean energy..."

As he spoke, he fell into deep thought.

Tony really wanted to say that the controlled cold nuclear fusion reactor was not for sale, but the other party had saved his life after all, and it didn't look like he wanted to take advantage of the favor for free.

Tony thought about the new Ark reactor that had been built in his studio, and shook his head at Du Mu, saying, "I'm very sorry. It's not that I don't want to sell it to you, but I have just made the first relatively perfect finished product. The defective products before also have special meaning to me. You can't just buy the only finished product I have, right?"

"But this deal is not impossible to discuss. I just need some time... You said before that saving my life is a gift, so what is your offer?"

Tony looked at Du Mu and asked curiously.

Although the two had only spent a short time together, and the man was extremely mysterious and behaved in a businesslike manner throughout, Tony became more and more curious about this man's secrets as time went by.

Where is that place that looks like a martial arts gym in a Hong Kong movie? If Tony hadn't entered the martial arts gym in Afghanistan, a place full of memories, he would have gone there to find out.

The subsequent appearance of Dr. Banner made Tony realize in an instant that the other party must have also been to that martial arts gym!
And the mysterious disappearance before and after that was probably because he was hiding in that martial arts gym.

Peter and Banner, one became a billionaire after going to a martial arts school, while the other became a flaming giant that even the US military couldn't afford to offend after returning from the martial arts school.

Wealth and power...if you count the repair potion as well, then even wisdom seems to be not lacking.

Tony has already used satellites to scan the entire Asian region eight hundred times, but has not found any suspicious place so far. Therefore, he is even more curious about where on the earth the open-air martial arts gym is.

As for aliens, that is even more impossible. Not only is the air and gravity almost unchanged, even the architectural style and the Chinese characters on the plaques are 100% products of Earth, unless the aliens also speak Chinese.

Tony found it impossible that the people from the mysterious martial arts school simply saved him and then disappeared without asking for anything.

The other party definitely had some plan, but Tony couldn't figure out what it was, so he set up a corresponding program for Jarvis. Once Du Mu reappeared, he would notify himself immediately no matter what he was doing.

Now it seems that what the other party wants is actually his controlled cold nuclear fusion reactor.

The answer was beyond Tony's expectation, it was plain but reasonable. After all, only he could make this thing, and it was of great value. Its preciousness was definitely higher than the repair potion.

While Tony was thinking, Du Mu had already placed a small package on the table.

Tony stared at the small package in surprise, then thought that there might be a USB drive inside.

He took the package in his hand with some curiosity, wondering what was inside.

If it wasn't the USB flash drive that stored the directory, Tony really couldn't imagine what in this world could be more valuable than a controlled cold nuclear fusion reactor of the same volume.

As soon as Tony opened the package, his eyes widened.

Nothing.

The small package was completely empty. Not even a hair was inside, let alone a USB drive.

But Tony was not angry. Instead, he tightly grasped the package and looked up at Du Mu, surprised and excited, "Could it be that...could it be that the technology in the travel bag that Hulk used to store food be able to be mass-produced and applied? "

Tony really knew the information about this storage bag, and it was worth it that Du Mu specifically told Hulk that there was no need to hide the special features of the travel bag.

Du Mu smiled slightly: "Just like what I want to buy is not the technology, but the finished product. My offer is also not the technology, but the finished product."

Tony took a deep breath and reached his hand into the package. Suddenly, he discovered, somewhat strangely, that his entire arm had disappeared.

Fortunately, his senses were still there, and he kept groping left and right, but he couldn't touch the edge no matter which direction he looked at.

This completely confirmed Tony's guess. He took the package off his arm, put it on the table, and fell into deep thought.

"How much space is there in there?"

"It's enough to fit your entire villa in there." Du Mu said calmly.

"By the way, the objects placed inside will not be affected by external gravity and inertia, so theoretically speaking, no matter how many things you store, you can carry them with you."

Tony took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

He was moved, really moved.

In Tony's opinion, this space compression technology is no less technologically advanced and precious than controlled cold nuclear fusion, and even has an impact on the entire human civilization and is epoch-making.

Of course, what we are talking about here is if this technology is popularized in daily human applications, just like controlled nuclear fusion is popularized in every car on the street.

Although the current cost may not be allowed, the foreseeable future and potential make it difficult to measure the high and low.

So, he looked at Du Mu with burning eyes and asked the last question: "Are you allowing me to reverse-engineer the technology?"

Du Mu spread his hands and said, "As you please."

No wonder, no wonder the other party said that saving his life was just a bonus.

The other party's offer was indeed high enough and enough to make Tony excited.

Originally, he thought that he would never be able to sell the Ark Reactor, because in Tony's own imagination, even if the US government handed over a year's worth of American taxes, he would not waver.

But it turned out that such an offer was still too little.

When faced with magical technologies that also have epoch-making characteristics, it is absolutely worth it to exchange something like the Ark Reactor, which can even be mass-produced by oneself, for a space storage bag.

After all, it’s not like he can only build one and not be able to build the next one.

For Tony, this feels like getting something for free, because when he manufactures the next Ark reactor at cost price, he will be in possession of two super technologies with trillions of dollars in profits at the same time, and the cost of manufacturing the Ark reactor is included in it. If this isn't getting something for free, what else can it be?
As for whether he could crack the technology of the space bag and successfully mass-produce it... Tony wanted to smile confidently, but he felt that there was almost no equipment at all, it was just a cloth bag. Tony could only lick his lips, feeling a strong sense of challenge and excitement.

"So, deal's done."
