Marvel Universe's Ultimate Martial Arts School

Emerging from the mental space, it was lunchtime outside.

The 330-plus days of gestation and incubation had only amounted to three and a half days in the spiritual time space.

"Connect with S.H.I.E.L.D." Lin Feng instructed the AI ​​as he walked towards the second-floor restaurant.

The call was answered almost instantly.

"Hi, Master Lin," Nick Fury said with a smile in the video, "I heard you went into seclusion for cultivation? You're out so soon?"

That's as if he'd just been thrown into prison.

"..." Lin Feng ignored his joke: "I need some things."

"Glad to help!" Nick Fury agreed readily, but to be honest, his heart skipped a beat.

They started asking for things right after the collaboration began. And what kind of cheap stuff would someone like Raymond Lam ask for?

The annual budget allocated to S.H.I.E.L.D. by the Ministry of National Security is never enough. The Space Carrier was built only through frugality and with the support of Stark Industries. Hopefully, this guy won't just open his mouth and eat up all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s remaining budget for the year...

"What do you need?" he asked tentatively.

"Steel, ordinary carbon steel will do."

"Phew..." Nick Fury breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Carbon steel is the most common type of steel. It is used in construction, automotive machinery, shipbuilding, and many other fields. It is readily available everywhere, and you don't even need to buy it. Just the new martial arts school that is about to start construction has just ordered 2 tons of carbon steel. This is only the first batch, and 1000 tons have already been delivered to the construction site.

Moreover, the new martial arts school was funded by the government, not by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s budget.

Such favors are easy to do! Give them away! There are plenty of them! Even if the new martial arts school is short a few tons or tens of tons, a simple accounting trick can easily balance it out.

If Lin Feng needs it urgently, I can transfer him there immediately.

"No problem!" Nick Fury readily agreed. "When do you need it? How much do you need? I'll send someone to deliver it to you right away."

"Let's start with 10,000 tons." Lin Feng estimated his appetite and felt that 10,000 tons should be enough for him to stay in the mental space for half a year.

It's not about saving money for S.H.I.E.L.D., but mainly because carbon steel has little 'nutritional value.' If Stark can quickly develop a spaceship energy source for Mars, then my next food supply should be Xuan Iron Essence, not this tasteless carbon steel: "Bring it to my martial arts school's courtyard, the sooner the better."

"Okay, no... wait a minute." Nick Fury paused, then asked, "How much?"

"Ten thousand tons."

"..." Nick Fury gasped, his only remaining eyeball almost bulging out.

Ten thousand tons?!

That's enough to build the foundation for half a large stadium!

What does he need so much steel for?!

"Is there a problem?" Lin Feng asked.

"..." Nick Fury didn't know what to say, and could only smile wryly, realizing he had thought it was a small matter.

But after all, we had just established a partnership, and I had just told them that I would fully support them in everything, and this was the first time they had spoken up.

If the first interaction ends unpleasantly, the rapport for future cooperation will inevitably be affected.

Nick Fury paused briefly, took a deep breath, and decisively signed the deal on behalf of the US government.

Anyway, Congress said that everything concerning Raymond Lam would be handled leniently, and he wouldn't have to pay out of his own pocket.

"No problem! I'll haul the stuff to the martial arts gym and pile it up in the yard right away."

Ten thousand tons of steel, that's over a thousand cubic meters. There might not even be enough space in the yard of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy to store it.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "Just pull it over."

Not enough room to stack them?

What is the spatial ring used for?

My personal spatial ring was given as part of the first big gift package when the martial arts school was first established. It was already considered a pretty good high-end item, with a volume of 8,000 cubic meters and 20 meters in length, width, and height.

Besides, he also has internal space... a radius of ten kilometers, that's 100 million cubic meters, which he can pile up however he wants.

Can't digest it all at once? There's also the Mental Time Space on the third floor, which is even bigger. Just go upstairs and "poop" it out.

With the inner world of this golden-horned behemoth, the spatial ring is practically useless.

Moving it is a simple matter, not difficult at all.

Having finished giving instructions to Nick Fury, he had already reached the second-floor restaurant. Before he could even speak, his stomach was growling loud enough to alert the chef.

Hurry up and bring out all the ready-made food.

Frankly speaking, these carbohydrates offer absolutely no nutritional value to either the Golden Horned Beast or the human body.

But it can always provide some psychological comfort and help you deceive yourself about your hunger.

While wolfing down his food, Lin Feng had the AI ​​dial a second number.

The projected video flashed, and Tony Stark's face, clearly the result of years of hard work, appeared on the screen with huge dark circles under his eyes, looking incredibly excited.

"Hahaha! Almighty Dad! You must have some kind of superpower!" Stark laughed heartily on camera. "Otherwise, how would you have known I'd already taken care of Kronos and called to congratulate me?"

Lin Feng's eyes lit up; this speed was even faster than he had imagined!

Even though there is a complete set of knowledge about Krona, it is not easy to understand it, and the conditions on Earth are limited. Every step of the process of extracting it is a huge challenge.

I thought that even someone like Stark, cursed by knowledge, would need at least several more days...

Once the energy source is secured, everything will be simple. It's just going to Mars, not space travel. S.H.I.E.L.D. can modify the engines of some of their existing spaceships and give them a matching energy-saving engine. Maybe we can go to Mars and feast to our hearts' content tomorrow.

This is truly a pleasant surprise.

Lin Feng asked with a hint of anticipation, "You've already extracted new energy?"

Lin Feng thought it was a pointless question, but the guy's answer left him speechless.

"Soon!"

"..." Lin Feng's upturned lips instantly flattened back down.

But then Stark said smugly, "I've figured out electron separation, quark charge energy separation, and kinetic energy conversion..."

"..." After listening to him rattle off a bunch of technical terms, Lin Feng decisively interrupted him: "Just tell me directly, what else haven't you sorted out?"

"Energy storage!" Stark laughed and decisively posed the question.

In fact, he had already figured out all of the things mentioned above the day before yesterday. After all, they were all existing knowledge. Even though the microscopic operation of separating quark charges was quite difficult for his current workbench, he still managed to find some shortcuts based on the theoretical support.

The real challenge lies in collecting and storing the converted energy.

Extracting quark energy is a one-in-a-millennium event, and the energy is released in an instant, especially in the microscopic realm. Collecting this energy is extremely difficult.

Even though the materials the teacher gave him that day had introduced how to make an energy collector, there was no material on Earth that could be used to make such a special collector, and it wasn't even on the periodic table. So even though he had tried almost every possible material on Earth in the past two days, he was still far from perfect.

"Now all that's missing is an energy harvester. The technology isn't a problem, the main issue is finding suitable materials to manufacture it..."

I immediately guessed that this was the problem. They wanted to directly access the advanced technology of the mechanical race, but Earth's supporting industrial chain was still relatively low-end.

Then Stark would have to relearn the materials science of the Mech race. The elemental alloying technology there can synthesize metals of the highest grade C, which should be enough to meet the manufacturing requirements.

But that would probably take at least another week or two, and that doesn't even take into account the possibility of an endless cycle of "learning new materials" and "being at the low end of the industrial chain and needing to learn new knowledge to make up for it."

One or two weeks...

Lin Feng felt a bit of a headache.

It may seem short, but unless you give up your precious cultivation time, it would mean starving for several years, or eating nutrient-poor carbon steel for several years, for someone cultivating in the spiritual time space.

Seeing one's incredibly powerful physique right there, yet progressing slowly due to a lack of resources, is incredibly frustrating.

Lin Feng was about to immediately retrieve the relevant materials science information from the system and send it to him.

"Just kidding, don't be too disappointed!" But Stark smiled mysteriously: "I just asked you to congratulate me, how could I be clueless? In fact, just now, a minute before you called, I had already found suitable new material."

"You probably haven't even heard of this thing, teacher, it's vibranium!"
