Is this what men find happiness?

“Gwen, why don’t you go back and feed the lizard in the lab? Kurt asked me to look after it for him, and I can’t let it starve, otherwise he’ll drive me crazy when he gets back.”

Dr. Otto assigned Gwen a task and then invited Charlotte to his home.

Charlotte also wanted to know what stage Dr. Otto's artificial sun experiment had reached.

Seeing the two leave chatting and laughing, Gwen looked on with envy.

Dr. Otto never invited her to his home.

Feeling disappointed, she took out her phone.

"Hey, Mary Jane, I have some news for you: your hero is a genius!"

-

Nine o'clock at night, at a villa by the sea.

"Oh, you're back."

As Otto led Charlotte through the door, a still-attractive woman approached them.

"Ruth, I'm sorry I got home late today."

Otto put down his coat, stepped forward, and kissed Ruth on the cheek, their affection unchanged for ten years.

"Is this your student?" Ruth looked at Charlotte, her curiosity piqued.

Otto never brought his students home.

Charlotte smiled and waved, but before he could introduce himself, Otto spoke first.

"I'm lucky today. I discovered a genius, a guy who talks to girls in class."

Ruth put her arm around Otto's right hand. "I used to get hit on by male classmates a lot when I was in class," she laughed.

Otto raised an eyebrow. "Really? If I remember correctly, that male classmate was me."

"You have a great memory."

"of course."

Otto patted Rose's hand and looked at Charlotte.

"He is Charlotte Parker, and he will be working with me on the artificial sun experiment."

"Doctor, I haven't agreed yet!" Charlotte said with a forced smile.

Spider-Man follows Dr. Otto to "plant the sun," a scene so beautiful he can hardly imagine it.

Dr. Otto didn't mind Charlotte's refusal.

He was confident he could persuade the other party.

"Ruth, bring out my treasured wine. I want to celebrate today."

"Okay, dinner will be ready soon. You two chat first."

Ruth went to fetch the wine, and Otto said to Charlotte, "Before dinner, come and tour my laboratory."

"Ah."

Soon, the two arrived at the attic, where various experimental devices were operating in an orderly manner.

Dr. Otto's laboratory was much larger than Professor Kurt's.

Compared to Professor Kurt, whose funding chain could break at any time, Dr. Otto was clearly better at finding investors.

“This is my private lab. The equipment at the school is too outdated and would only be a burden to me,” Otto explained.

Charlotte glanced curiously at the equipment on site, then her gaze fell on the huge machine in front of the window.

This machine resembles four corresponding mechanical horns, but its external shape is more like octopus tentacles.

"you saw it."

Seeing Charlotte drawn to the touch-screen machine, Dr. Otto proudly approached it and introduced, "This is the big machine I'm using for the final stage of my artificial sun experiment. It's capable of performing the final thermonuclear fusion."

"If the experiment succeeds, I will become the world's most famous scientist, and the whole world will be changed because of my artificial sun."

Otto looked excited. "I will be the most dazzling scientist at this year's Nobel Prize because I have benefited all mankind."

With virtually unlimited energy, human life will undergo a qualitative change, and there will be no more wars in the world. I can save countless lives, and this era will only remember my name.

Charlotte nodded. "If the experiment succeeds, it will indeed cause a worldwide sensation."

The next second, Otto's excitement vanished, replaced by a sigh.

"Unfortunately, there's still one last step. I was just a little short of calculating the perfect value for tritium."

"So Charlotte Parker, I need your help."

Otto earnestly invited, "Join me in completing this great experiment!"

But Charlotte changed the subject, saying, "I'll think about it, but Doctor, are you alone in the lab?"

Dr. Otto was somewhat disappointed at not receiving a satisfactory answer.

"There are two assistants. I know what you want to ask."

He led Charlotte to a corner of the laboratory.

"Artificial sun experiments require absolute stability, so my assistants must have a very strong rapport."

But this could never be 100% perfect, so I created a machine to assist my experiments. It can connect to my nerves under the control of a chip, allowing me to do the work of several people at the same time.

Especially in the final fusion stage, it perfectly assisted me in completing the experiment.

As he spoke, Otto lifted the white cloth, revealing four dark gold mechanical octopus tentacles on the iron frame. A mechanical device resembling a spine connected the four tentacles, which should be the carrier with the control panel.

At the end of the spine, a chip the size of a thumbnail flashes red light intermittently.

"How about it? Pretty good, right?" Otto said proudly.

Charlotte laughed and said, "Yes, it's very good, but be careful not to let anyone steal it."

This thing is perfect for carrying his nanosuit.

"Don't worry, the security system here is among the best in the world." Dr. Otto was not worried at all.

Charlotte didn't say anything.

Even if Dr. Otto had not succeeded in obtaining the infinite energy of the artificial sun, this octopus-assisted device alone would have been enough to earn him a Nobel Prize and make him a world-renowned scientist.

But Dr. Otto would not be satisfied.

It is precisely because of scientists' dissatisfaction that the world can progress.

Yes, it could also be destroyed.

He made up his mind to take this thing away in a few days.

Without the octopus tentacles, Dr. Otto's experiment should be able to be delayed.

It would be best to destroy the fusion machine along with it.

Unlike Professor Kurt's obsession, Dr. Otto, as long as he is not affected by the octopus tentacles on his arm, is not so insane as to become a villain because of the failure of his experiment.

"Otto, dinner is ready," Ruth suddenly called out, bringing Charlotte back to her senses.

"I'm very grateful to the doctor for showing me these things," he said with a smile.

Otto shook his head. "You're welcome. I just hope you'll think about it carefully. This is an opportunity for you to become a world-class scientist."

"I will think about it."

"Okay, let's go eat. Ruth's cooking is pretty good."

The two arrived at the dining table, and Ruth poured red wine for the three of them.

"You two don't seem to be having a very good conversation," Ruth noticed that Otto's expression was off.

Otto shook his head. "No, it's already good enough that he didn't question whether I would blow up New York." He joked.

Charlotte's eyelids twitched. Did this guy know what he was saying?

"Of course I believe in the doctor's abilities."

"of course."

Then, the three of them ate and chatted.

Ruth took a sip of red wine and suddenly asked Charlotte.

"I heard you're pursuing a girl."

Charlotte: "."

He pursed his lips. "That was a misunderstanding."

Ruth smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your affairs, but I just asked a student and he mentioned you."

"Who is he pursuing?" Otto asked curiously.

“Gwen Stacy is also your student.”

"Oh, it's her. The two of them were whispering in class. I should have known."

Otto, with an air of experience, said, "If you want to woo a girl, recite poetry to her."

Charlotte: "???"

"I think taking her shopping is a better way to show that I love her."

"This child is very humorous."

Ruth looked at Otto gently, "You studied physics back then, and I studied English literature. Do you remember what you did back then?"

Otto was somewhat embarrassed. "Yes, I was trying to explain relativity to Ruth, but Ruth wanted to discuss Eliot's poetry with me instead."

"Could it be either past time or present time?" He couldn't quite remember.

"In the future," Ruth said patiently.

“Yes, in the future.” Otto looked at Ruth with tenderness in his eyes.

Charlotte seemed to be deep in thought.
