Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

The awkward atmosphere only eased a little after Little Chili called the two of them back for dinner.

During the meal, Sherlock also learned some of the things that happened while he and Zhao Weike were busy dealing with Laura's situation.

First, it was Scarlett Johansson and the Red House.

After the Avengers left, Hawkeye and Black Widow stayed in the Red Room for a while, partly to make arrangements for Black Widow's liberation, and partly to prevent the floating tower of the Red Room from being invaded.

After sorting out the various things inside the red house, Hawkeye left directly from the red house and went home.

Black Widow also began working with Tony to establish Stark Biotech, and recruited Black Widows who were interested in working for the company.

After everything was arranged, Black Widow was summoned away by Eggsy, and Tony took over the guard duties at the floating tower in the red house.

Meanwhile, Tony is also carrying out the renovation of the floating tower according to plan. The floating tower is now at an altitude of nearly 30000 meters, which is close to low Earth orbit. It is currently climbing towards a low Earth orbit of 200 kilometers.

The only problem is that a special aircraft is now needed to enter and exit the Red House. Tony modified the Red House's own aircraft into a small orbital transport aircraft to ensure the current consumption of the floating tower, while he himself travels back and forth using a specially made orbital armor.

Clearly, now is the time for Sherlock to step in and make changes, since getting in and out of the Red House has become considerably more difficult.

Not only that, after the floating tower actually reached outer space, Tony realized that completing something like the Watchtower of the Justice League in DC would involve far more complex considerations than what he was currently facing.

For example, a gravity-generating device must exist; otherwise, even if the Avengers were in space, they would only be able to walk normally using the electromagnetic shoes that Tony is currently using.

Tony alone couldn't handle this alone; ultimately, Sherlock had to step in.

The two had been discussing what else the Avengers' Watchtower needed since dinner, and Pepper Potts kept rolling her eyes at them.

The next morning, Sherlock and Tony went to the floating base of the red house, which had been completely transformed.

To be honest, once Sherlock saw Tony's modifications to the floating base, even Sherlock had to give him a thumbs up.

If the original floating base was more like a building with several runways installed at the bottom for takeoff, like nails driven into the base of the building, then the floating base that has now transformed into the Avengers Watchtower is more like a watchtower from a comic book.

The original runway became a link to the external star ring solar panels. At the same time, the original levitation device at the bottom was modified and lengthened, while retaining the original ventilation channel for equipment delivery and base access. In addition, the airtight properties of the entire base made the entire watchtower resemble the Greek character Φ.

The entire watchtower floats in space, exuding a technological beauty, while its pure metallic color adds a touch of mystery to the entire base.

When Sherlock followed Tony into the base, he was struck by a stark contrast to the outside world. If the outside of the watchtower resembled a technological fortress, then the inside was like an unfinished construction site.

The Black Widows, who were originally focused on fighting, were now wearing electromagnetic shoes, masks, and gloves, bustling around like workers.

Seeing this scene, Sherlock's lips twitched before he spoke to Tony beside him.

"I already know what this watchtower needs most. Should I solve the gravity simulation system problem first?"

Hearing Sherlock's words, Tony rolled his eyes in annoyance before speaking to Sherlock.

"Before solving the gravity system problem, I think you should think about how to solve the problem of your promised entry and exit. Right now, the entire base relies on a small cargo ship to transport materials. Putting aside the cost, the quantity transported in a single trip is already a big problem."

Due to material transportation constraints, the entire base renovation is less than 40% complete! As for the gravity issue you mentioned, it's not that urgent. Weightlessness has its advantages; at the very least, it saves a lot of effort in material handling!

Chapter 320 The Construction of the Avengers' Watchtower

Listening to Tony's complaints, Sherlock could only sigh at his own life of toil before throwing himself into his busy work.

Well, after all, it was Sherlock himself who suggested building this floating tower into the Avengers' secret base. As the saying goes, you have to finish the path you choose, even if you have to crawl on your knees.

Therefore, despite his grievances, Sherlock had no choice but to grit his teeth, roll up his sleeves, and get to work.

The first problem to be solved was naturally the so-called air-to-ground transportation issue, which was easy to resolve. Sherlock simply used the Anywhere Door to create a fixed passage, allowing the other side of the door to open into Tony's mansion.

This not only solves the problem of transporting and processing materials, but also allows them to be concealed to some extent.

After all, it's no secret that Tony has a super factory inside his mansion. Even if he imports a lot of materials, people can only guess that Tony is researching something behind closed doors again.

Tony really took the blame for this whole mess.

After resolving the issues of transporting supplies and facilitating the movement of people, Sherlock began working on the problem of simulating artificial gravity.

This technology isn't actually considered particularly advanced in the Marvel universe. You can tell from the fact that even small spaceships in Guardians of the Galaxy can simulate gravity that such technology is already commonplace in the universe.

Unfortunately, for Sherlock on Earth, such general-purpose technology was already the limit.

Based on Sherlock's current understanding of the technological side, he can't think of any solution. However, the good thing is that while the technological side can't solve it, it doesn't mean that the mystical side can't.

Believe it or not, Sherlock actually possesses a magical technology called gravity simulation, and yes, it's technology from Asgard, the land of wool tycoons.

The only problem is that while Asgard's magical technology is advanced, it is also a major energy consumer. After all, Sherlock does not have a magical core capable of supporting the operation of Asgard's magic circuits, so he can only use Tony's Arc Reactor as a substitute.

Sherlock's calculations concluded that if only one large arc reactor were used to power the entire base's energy and gravity simulation, it would not last long.

Left with no other option, Tony had to set up a large Arc Reactor separately for the gravity simulation system inside the base.

After experiencing weightlessness for an unknown amount of time in space, the Black Widows finally felt grounded again when Sherlock completed the gravity simulation device.

Of course, Sherlock is not a devil. In order to better transport supplies, Sherlock also provided dozens of 'anti-gravity ropes'. As long as the ropes are tied to the items, the items can ignore the artificial gravity created by Sherlock.

It's a convenient and quick gadget.

The only thing that might give Sherlock a headache is the Avengers' teleportation devices, since the Avengers need to fight, and the style of the rings or bracelets could affect their combat.

After much deliberation, Sherlock could only designate the Avengers' teleportation device to resemble a dog tag.

Of course, since they are his teammates, Sherlock would never tarnish his reputation, and there is a little Sherlock design in the dog tag.

The dog tags will automatically identify the wearer and then monitor the wearer's physical condition in real time. If a fatal injury occurs, one of the dog tags will turn into a fleshy beast and swallow the wearer whole to forcibly teleport them to the base for treatment.

With the meat scraps acting as a buffer, the teleporter won't experience any rejection reactions or similar problems.

Yes, you read that right, it's a rejection reaction. Sherlock, out of his own twisted sense of humor, made his dog tag into one that allowed him to teleport directly, and the rest were all replicas of the Apparition magic from Harry Potter.

Tony's assessment of the experience was that he felt like he had been shoved into a toilet and squeezed out through a rubber hose! And after the experience, he repeatedly asked Sherlock if there was a more dignified way.

Sherlock's answer to this was, "No!"

You can cut off my head, you can bleed, but you can't smash my signboard!

If Sherlock's alchemical items didn't contain a bit of his own wicked humor, wouldn't that be utterly ruining his own reputation?

Tony looked at Sherlock with great suspicion, but he couldn't find any evidence to prove that Sherlock was lying!

Of course, in order to avoid having to experience the feeling of flushing a toilet every time in the future, after Tony's reasoned argument, Sherlock finally agreed to keep the Anywhere Door in the base, but the Anywhere Door would be fixed in one location in the future and would no longer have the function of an Anywhere Door.

For example, the top floor of Avengers Tower that Tony is planning.

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Tony could only console himself that he had done his best, and that it was much better than having to experience the feeling of flushing the toilet every time.

After finishing his own business, Sherlock was tricked by the Black Widow at the base into doing some hard labor for a while. To be honest, it was hard for Sherlock to refuse the big sister's praise.

For Black Widow, Sherlock's alchemy was incredibly convenient! Why not use it?

It was during these few days of hard work that Sherlock discovered Tony's plans for the future. Yes, you read that right. After Sherlock fixed the gravity system, Tony started doing some fancy tricks in the base.

The first step is to utilize the base's near-Earth orbit and Sherlock's Anywhere Door fixed on Earth to create a unique global deployment-recovery process.

Based on this process, Tony also created a suit of armor that never appeared in the movies.

Mark 16, the All-Powerful Armor!

To Sherlock, this thing looked exactly like the armor worn by the three uncles in the animated series "Justice League" that he watched as a child before his time travel. It delivered various accessories to Tony, who was wearing the Omnipotent Armor, through the Watcher Base to meet different operational needs.

Examples include air hammers and hydraulic shears used for rescue, high-powered weapons and thick armor used in large-scale battlefields, and even diving equipment used in naval warfare.

The only difference might be that Tony doesn't have to shout "Invincible God Power" when he equips these accessories; it's essentially a super-downgraded version of the futuristic nanotechnology armor.

Of course, the idea is good, but the shortcomings of this all-around armor are also obvious. It takes time to deploy, and the connection is not as solid as the original armor. Even without equipment accessories, the armor's combat effectiveness is questionable.

The only commendable thing is that after seeing the combat footage of Sherlock and his own armor preserved inside the Mark V, Tony made the technology of that lightsaber an essential item for every suit of armor, and even the sword-wielding AI built into the Mark V was implemented by Tony into all the suits.

Sherlock didn't let Tony off the hook either. After trying to persuade Tony to stop doing this to no avail, Sherlock decisively gave Tony a set of accessories for the All-Powerful Armor, which included features for land, sea, and air combat.

Well, this set of accessories isn't useless, but it's completely useless.

In air combat, he has wings, but Tony can fly on his own. In land combat, he can transform into a motorcycle with a grenade launcher, but Tony doesn't really need it. In naval combat, it's a little better, at least it gives Tony a propulsion system and allows him to breathe underwater.

Most importantly, once this accessory is activated, it will automatically play Tony's "Invincible" shout in his own voice. No matter how Tony disassembles it, he can't mute it, which makes Tony feel terrible.

Chapter 321 What kind of alcoholism gang's karma is this?

Of course, having the All-Powerful Armor doesn't mean Tony will give up on his armor upgrade path and devote himself entirely to researching and upgrading the accessories.

In fact, the advantages and disadvantages of the Omnipotent Armor are quite obvious. Anyone who isn't a fool can see that the advantages of the Omnipotent Armor are mostly concentrated in battlefields with relatively low intensity and in rescue operations.

In truly high-intensity combat, the All-Round User is essentially a useless existence.

Most importantly, the core of the Omnipotent Armor, a suit of armor riddled with connectors, requires Tony to wear it properly for it to function, which undoubtedly contradicts Tony's desire to be able to put on the armor and engage in combat anytime, anywhere.

Of course, Sherlock didn't interfere with Tony too much. Instead, after fulfilling Tony's childhood dream of transforming into a warrior of justice by using Tony's All-Powerful Armor, he lost interest in it.

After spending a few days as a laborer and cook at the base, Sherlock promptly made his escape.

The first thing I did upon returning to Earth was to run to Pepper Potts to reconnect Doro and Orange, and then use the Space Stone to teleport back home.

After removing his own 'turtle shell', Doro almost immediately dragged Orange to Zhao Weike's house. As a person who values ​​righteousness, Doro naturally did not forget to bring back a gift for his good friend Laura after this trip with Sherlock.

As Doro charged toward Zhao Weike's house, Zhao Weike, wielding a baseball bat and with a face contorted like a demon, kicked open Sherlock's door.

Seeing this, Sherlock naturally couldn't back down. His spear transformed into the legendary holy sword of physics, and he too donned a devilish smile as he fought alongside Zhao Weike.

As for the outcome?

Hehe, losing is impossible! To paraphrase Sherlock, we're just one move behind! Even a slight win is still a win! I, Sherlock, have spent so much time in the US and mastered the art of winning; it wasn't for nothing!

A bruised and battered Sherlock declared that he had made the legendary assassin, who could kill three people with a pencil but now held a baseball bat, lay down his weapon with just one drink. "I, Sherlock, have won big, okay?"

Although Zhao Weike decided how they drank there, Sherlock still stubbornly insisted that he hadn't lost!

Although few people at Zhao Weike's dinner table that evening believed this, Sherlock said that he himself believed it and that was all that mattered.

Zhao Weike, who only had a dark circle under his eye and was accidentally hit by Sherlock's Physics Sword when it slipped from his hand, silently gave Sherlock's comprehensive winning strategy a thumbs up.

After dinner, Zhao Weike almost immediately fulfilled his promise to Sherlock to have a drink, and under Helen's helpless gaze, Zhao Weike excitedly pulled Sherlock outside.

To Sherlock's surprise, the location chosen by Zhao Weike was the community pub that had been converted from the former captain's house.

To Sherlock's surprise, a small neon sign had appeared under the huge "Neighborhood Committee Tavern" sign.

"PAB Club? What kind of hellish club is that?"

After seeing the words on the sign, Sherlock was filled with questions. One was about the name PAB; for some reason, Sherlock felt the name was familiar, but he just couldn't remember it.

On the other hand, there are also questions about this so-called club.
