Just arrived at Marvel, the system rewards the Man of Steel

new York

Xiao Han's figure appeared in the laboratory of Stark Tower.

Tony Stark was busy debugging the nano armor. When he heard the noise, he looked up suddenly and almost dropped the tools in his hand.

"Damn it! How many times has this happened, Xiao? Can you please stop being so mysterious?!" Tony widened his eyes.

"I haven't seen you for three days. I thought you were attracted to some cover girl."

Xiao Han chuckled: "I went to another universe to have a look and solved some minor problems."

Tony stared at him suspiciously: "What trouble?"

"Thanos."

Tony's expression became even more confused. "Well, I don't understand either."

Xiao Han walked to the workbench and picked up a cup of coffee. Even though it was already cold, he took a sip and said, "The details are not important. But how is the development of the battle armor going?"

Tony opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to ask countless questions, but in the end he just rubbed his temples. "Forget it, you're always like this anyway. The nano-battle armor is basically complete, but the energy core still needs to be optimized."

Xiao Han put down the coffee cup, took out a piece of vibranium ore from the system space, and threw it to Tony: "Take a look at this."

Tony quickly caught it, looked down, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Vibranium?! Where did you get it?"

"Wakanda." Xiao Han said casually, "I borrowed some."

Tony's mouth twitched: "Borrow? Are you sure you're not robbing?"

Xiao Han spread his hands innocently: "They can't use it all."

Tony rolled his eyes, but was quickly attracted by the properties of vibranium and started fiddling with it excitedly. "With this, the armor can indeed be upgraded, but it's too little. However, let me study it first."

Xiao Han looked at Tony who was obsessed with scientific research, smiled, turned and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside the window, the night sky of New York is dotted with stars, and the city lights are like a flowing Milky Way.

His super hearing picked up the whistles of distant sirens, people's conversations, and even the vibrations of underground train tracks.

Everything is so familiar, yet full of infinite possibilities.

[System prompt: Host's current growth points: points, do you want to enter the system mall to redeem rewards?]

Xiao Han's mind moved, and the system interface unfolded before his eyes. He browsed through the dazzling array of products, and his eyes finally stopped at [Doomsday Cell].

"A little... still a long way off." He muttered to himself.

But it doesn't matter, he has plenty of time.

Xiao Han turned around and walked towards the workbench.

Tony was busy adjusting the nanostructures in the holographic projection, his fingers moving rapidly across the data stream.

Suddenly, a thick stack of metal documents was slammed onto the workbench in front of him, shaking his coffee cup.

"What is this?" Tony frowned and looked up, and found Xiao Han standing by the table with a playful smile on his lips.

"A new toy for you." Xiao Han tapped the stack of information. "It's more interesting than vibranium."

Tony flipped to the first page suspiciously, his eyes scanning the densely packed formulas and three-dimensional structure diagrams.

His fingers suddenly stopped and his pupils contracted slightly.

"Wait... this is..." There was a rare hint of shock in his voice.

The holographic projection automatically captured the data content and immediately unfolded a complex energy model next to it.

A miniature star is confined in a magnetic field matrix, where the hot plasma burns steadily, releasing pure and surging energy.

"Artificial sun?"

Tony raised his head abruptly, staring at Xiao Han with sharp eyes. "This technology doesn't even exist on Earth! Spider-Man defeated a guy with this thing a year ago, and he was researching something similar."

"And you..." He pointed at the projection with his finger, "Fuck! You're stuffing a star into a reactor?!"

Xiao Han shrugged: "Alien technology. Better than your little light bulb."

Tony grabbed the information and flipped through it quickly, muttering to himself: "Magnetic field confinement parameters, plasma turbulence suppression, this energy density."

He suddenly looked up, his eyes blazing. "Where did you get this? Don't tell me it's from your research!"

"The spoils from another universe." Xiao Han interrupted him.

"The specific source is not important. What's important is..." He pointed to a line of equations at the end of the document.

“This thing can be built.”

Tony took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He put down the documents, supported his hands on the table, lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly grinned.

"Jarvis, clear all schedules for tonight."

"Sir, you were scheduled to have dinner with Miss Pepper."

"Postpone. No, cancel." Tony didn't even look up, his fingers already flying across the holographic keyboard.

"Tell her... uh, just say the world is ending again and I have to save the Earth."

Xiao Han raised his eyebrows: "Using this excuse?"

"It works every time." Tony didn't even look up, concentrating on calling up Stark Industries' energy database.

"and many more."

Tony suddenly narrowed his eyes, "You're not going to use this artificial sun..."

"Replace your Ark reactor?" Xiao Han smiled.

"No, it's more direct than that." He tapped his chest.

"It keeps me powered even when I'm far from a star. And for you..."

Tony continued, a mad spark in his eyes. "Infinite energy. Real, clean, inexhaustible energy."

He stood up suddenly and said, "Jarvis, contact Rhodes and ask him to use the military's abandoned nuclear test site in Alamogordo. Tell them I want to rent it for a week!"

Xiao Han folded his arms: "Why don't we do a small experiment first?"

"Small?" Tony scoffed, his finger drawing a spherical structure with a diameter of ten meters on the hologram.

"This is a small, first-generation prototype, powerful enough to light up all of Manhattan." He paused, suddenly frowning.

"However, the stability of the confinement field is a problem. If the plasma leaks."

"Then it's not lighting up, but evaporating Manhattan." Xiao Han added calmly.

Tony glared at him. "That's not funny."

"I'm not kidding." Xiao Han walked to the workbench and drew several golden tracks with his fingers in the projection.

"So we need to improve the magnetic field generator. Use vibranium as the base, and then incorporate the magical properties of uru metal."

"Make the force field self-repairing!" Tony slammed the table.

"Genius! I admire you more and more, Xiao! Who are you? Are all aliens so outrageous?"

Chapter 30: The Kree

In the next 48 hours, the hierarchy of the laboratory was completely overturned.

Xiao Han stood in front of the central holographic platform, his hands sliding constantly, and countless parameter streams swirled around him.

Tony became the best assistant, processing parts according to instructions that were precise to the smallest detail.

"The vibranium base needs to be thinner." Xiao Han said without raising his head.

"The lattice of uru metal must be arranged at exactly this angle."

Tony gritted his teeth and operated: "Are you sure this curvature won't cause quantum decoherence?"

"We've calculated 642 possibilities." Xiao Han casually called out a series of formulas, "Use this magnetic field to compensate."

When the last component was in place, Xiao Han placed his hands lightly on top of the reactor.

There was a golden light in his eyes, and his thermal vision was spot welding the key nodes at intervals accurate to picoseconds.

"start up."

嗡

All electronic equipment in the laboratory went off simultaneously.

In the central reactor, a photon was suddenly born, then two, four... growing exponentially.

Tony subconsciously took a step back: "God..."

A miniature golden sun was born in the reactor, its light gentle yet brimming with terrifying energy. The data screen refreshed frantically:

Energy output: 12.8 megawatts

Stability: 99.999%

[Expected continuous operation time: 1.2 years]

"this…"

Tony's voice trembled. "Did we just create eternal energy?"

Xiao Han reached out and lightly touched the protective shield. The light of the artificial sun flowed between his fingers: "It is the key to the advancement of human civilization."

Tony suddenly grabbed Xiao Han's shoulders: "You must tell me, this kind of technology... this kind of thinking... how can I have this kind of brain!"

The golden light in Xiao Han's eyes gradually faded, revealing a mysterious smile: "I'll tell you next time. Now..."

He pointed to the energy monitor that had begun to sound an alarm. "We need to solve the cooling problem first, unless you want Manhattan to become a volcano."

Tony looked at the temperature curve that had soared to a dangerous level and suddenly burst into laughter: "Ha! Come on! Jarvis, start all the cooling systems!"

a few hours later

The light of the artificial sun burned steadily in the reactor, and its golden glow illuminated the entire laboratory.

Tony Stark stared at the readings on the data screen, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously, his eyes flashing with excitement and a hint of imperceptible awe.

"12.8 megawatts..."

He murmured, "That's enough electricity to power the entire East Coast, and..."

He turned his gaze to Xiao Han, "Are you sure this thing won't suddenly go out of control and blow us all up?"

Xiao Han folded his arms across his chest, leaning against the experimental table, his lips curled up slightly: "As long as the magnetic field constraint doesn't collapse, it's safe."

"Oh, that's very reassuring." Tony rolled his eyes, but the smile on his lips betrayed him.

He reached out and tapped lightly on the protective shield of the reactor. The light of the artificial sun fluctuated slightly and then returned to stability.

"So, besides being a power bank, what else can this thing do for you?"

"A lot." Xiao Han stood up, walked towards the holographic projection table, and swiped his finger to call up a new set of data models.

"for example…."

His fingertips traced an energy path in the projection, and the energy of the artificial sun was directed into a completely new structural model, forming a blazing beam of light.

"Directed energy weapons?" Tony raised an eyebrow.

"No." Xiao Han shook his head, "It's inter-dimensional energy transmission."

Tony's expression froze for a moment, then he leaned closer to the projection: "Wait, are you saying that you can use this energy to go directly to another place?"

"In theory, yes."

Xiao Han nodded. "I fused it with the sun's energy, giving it extreme plasticity. If it can be precisely controlled, it can simulate the energy characteristics of any dimension. To be more precise, it's magic."

Tony's eyes instantly lit up with crazy sparks: "Xiao, what do I need to learn magic?!"

"Sir, you have been working for 72 hours straight," Jarvis reminded.

"Who cares!" Tony interrupted with a wave of his hand.

"Let's talk about it later. Let's deal with this first." Xiao Han chuckled and did not refute.

He walked in front of the projection, his eyes glowed with golden light, and his super brain quickly calculated the optimal solution for energy flow.

The two of them fell silent, the only sounds in the lab being the hum of the hologram and Tony's occasional muttered curses.
