In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 164: Long Easter (4)

"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"

, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman

In the police station in Gotham, Gordon flung his windbreaker, opened the door, and walked quickly into his office, only to find that Schiller and Batman were already waiting for him. Gordon said with a headache: " Judging from the reports of my colleagues, the situation is not optimistic."

He walked to his desk and sat down, and said: "Honestly, your trick is really effective, but the problem is that the damage is too great, the entire groundwater system in Gotham has been destroyed, and the building foundations have also been damaged. A lot."

"Of course, we have expected this." Schiller nodded. At this time, Victor walked in with a document. Gordon stood up and poured a cup of hot coffee for several people .

Several other people walked to the table and sat down, chatting while drinking hot coffee, only Batman stood alone in the corner of the room.

"The loss is indeed very large, but it has not exceeded our estimate." Victor pointed to a few lines on the report and said: "The condensation process from water to ice will cause volume expansion. We thought of this Therefore, the extent of damage to the sewer system is within our estimation."

"Approximately how much?" Gordon asked after taking a sip of his coffee.

"Yes all."

Gordon spit out a sip of water, he said: "I know the loss is heavy, but you tell me now, Gotham's groundwater system is all destroyed?"

Batman's voice came from the side: "It's actually more serious than that. Not only the underground buildings, but the foundations of many buildings on the surface of Gotham are not resistant to low temperature. Many buildings have also cracked and need to be rebuilt."

"The loss is too heavy. Didn't you consider this before making this plan?" Gordon asked very puzzled: "Our logistics system has finally taken shape, and now we have to start from scratch. It's started."

"We have expected this for a long time, but there is a saying that is good, if you can't break it, you can't build it."

Schiller sighed and said, "Detective Gordon, you should also know that although Gotham has improved somewhat due to the construction of the logistics system, it is far from enough."

"There may be some advantages here, but there is no absolute advantage. We don't have any competitive industries, and there is nothing that cannot be replaced by other cities."

"What we have to do now is to artificially add an advantage to Gotham that no other city in the world can imitate."

"I understand what you mean, but I don't understand, what does this have to do with the losses caused by freezing Gotham?"

Schiller gave Victor a look, beckoning him to explain, and Victor said to Gordon: "I think you should also know that a low-temperature generator that can freeze the entire Gotham in an instant cannot be Ordinary ice machine."

"The reason why the low temperature generator can achieve this effect is because its 'ice' is different."

"Ice? How is ice different?"

"Have you heard of 'Super Ice'?"

Gordon shook his head, Victor said: "You don't need to know its principle, anyway, what I use in the low temperature generator is a newly developed super ice."

"After contact with water, its crystallization speed exceeds 1,000 kilometers per hour, and it can still exist at a high temperature of over 1,000 degrees. If it is further improved, I think I may be able to freeze the entire ocean of the earth in one day. .”

Hearing this, Gordon took a breath, and he looked at Victor again. This professor with a scholarly temperament always looks gentle and gentle, but his words are very aura of the ultimate villain.

"This is not the kind of small ice cubes we usually add to drinks. It is not inferior to metal in terms of hardness and stability. You can actually understand it as a man-made diamond structure, but it is just as hard as it is. Slightly weaker, and has the low-temperature characteristics of ice."

"So..." Schiller concluded: "The rebuilding problem you're worried about exists, but it's not just rebuilding, and it has an unexpected benefit."

"This kind of ice is indeed very difficult to deal with, but again, once we use it, the entire underground of Gotham will become a huge natural cold storage."

Then, Schiller revealed to Gordon all subsequent Gotham reconstruction plans.

The next reconstruction of Gotham City is not to melt all these ice cubes. In fact, it is very difficult. It is hard and requires extremely high temperatures to melt. It is more like a solid material than ice cubes for cooling.

This kind of ice replaced Gotham's underground rock formations, which is equivalent to the fact that the entire city is now sitting on a huge block of dense ice.

For this reason, there is no need to consider melting the ice when rebuilding, but to directly open a passage through the ice, transforming the entire underground of Gotham into a huge natural cold storage.

This kind of ice is difficult to handle, and the construction progress will be very slow, but fortunately, it can be taken and used at any time, and the construction can be done step by step.

For example, if you want to build a cold storage, you should choose a good location, build a house on the ground, and start digging directly. When you dig out a room, you can throw the products in and freeze it first, and then slowly dig the rest. Room.

Although the process will be very slow and consume a lot of manpower and material resources, once it is completed, you will have a natural cold storage, which not only has almost no maintenance costs, but also has sufficient space, which can fully meet the storage needs of bulk commodities.

More importantly, Victor's freezing technology has an unparalleled ability to preserve freshness. In the comics, he has frozen Batman into an ice cube many times, and then chatted with him.

Batman emerges from the ice intact. In addition to the reason why Batman has the halo of the protagonist, the excellent fresh-keeping ability of Victor's freezing technology is also one of the important reasons for being able to beat the frozen people.

The technology of Gotham villain's genius is so unreasonable, but if it is used in real affairs, it is a unique and powerful productivity.

When the cost of cold chain storage is minimized in a city, it is impossible for it not to be a logistics operation center, and producers who want to reduce logistics costs will definitely flock to it.

Gordon showed a thoughtful expression, and then he said: "You mean, instead of repairing the sewers, we directly use these ice layers as natural cold storage?"

"The sewer is still needed, but a sewer system can be rebuilt, and these dense ice layers that can exist at normal temperatures will become the killer of Gotham's development."

"This huge underground cold storage will be able to carry the storage of cold chain products on the entire east coast, and Gotham will become an unavoidable place for cold chain transportation across the country."

Gordon looked at Batman, Batman was silent for a while, and then said: "According to my calculations, this is indeed possible, although there are still many technical problems, and it will take a lot of time to rebuild, but once If successful, Gotham will become a world-class logistics distribution center.”

"It is difficult for other cities to replicate this success. Even if they have Victor's freezing technology, it is difficult to have such a cooperative owl court."

"Their artificial rainfall technology is really good. It lasts for a long time and has a large amount of rainfall. It is rare to be able to gather enough water to create a stable ice layer in a very short period of time." Schiller commented.

Gordon almost felt that the Owl Court was a bit pitiful. It was really sold and counted the money.

"Originally, I was a little interested in the artificial rainfall technology of the Owl Court." Schiller continued: "After all, you have also seen that their technology works well."

"But I thought about it, even if we can get the technology, we will have to spend a lot of money to realize it, and in order to build an underground natural cold storage, the federal government will not agree to flooding Gotham."

"So it's better to let the owl court work for us."

"Now they have done a good job. They launched a flood, created the world's largest underground cold storage, and made outstanding contributions to the future development of Gotham City. I think they can be awarded an outstanding award. Contribution award or something."

"But there is a problem." Gordon said hesitantly: "I'm not trying to pour cold water, but you also said just now that this kind of ice layer is very difficult to deal with. It is a big project, and I'm afraid it will be expensive. Rebuilding the sewer system also requires money..."

Schiller put his hands on the table, he suddenly changed the subject, and said to Gordon: "Detective Gordon, have you handled a kidnapping case?"

"Kidnapping? I encountered a few times when I was still in Chicago, but after coming to Gotham, there are only murders here, not any kidnappings."

"Even if it is a kidnapping case, the hostage is dead before the police arrive at the scene, so of course there is no such thing as a kidnapping."

"It doesn't matter, you just need to know the principle."

"Principle? What do you want to say?"

Schiller took a sip of hot coffee, and after the warmth entered his stomach, he let out a sigh of satisfaction, and then said, "No hurry, let's analyze the current situation first."

"Gotham is in danger of flooding due to the continuous heavy rain for several days. We have carried out a series of emergency measures. Although the losses were huge, they saved the lives and property of countless citizens."

"Now, after our investigation, we have concluded that the flood was a man-made conspiracy. A group of terrorists used weather disaster weapons against Gotham, and now..."

Schiller dragged on for a while, and then said: "The culprit is being frozen in a huge ice cube underground in Gotham. Detective Gordon, what do you think is the most important link in the kidnapping case?"

Ge logged in and said: "What is it? Persuade the kidnappers? Protect the hostages?"

"That was for the cops, but now, we're kidnappers."

Schiller knocked on the table and said emphatically, "It's asking for a ransom."

"Obviously, now that the hostages are in hand, we can start talking about money, can't we?"

Gordon opened his mouth wide, and he glanced at Schiller, Batman and Victor, and said: "So this is your ultimate goal, use the flood caused by the Owl Court itself to freeze them all underground, and then ... asking for a ransom????"

Schiller gestured to Victor, and Victor took the stack of documents and said: "The location of the low-temperature generator is carefully designed to ensure that within the scope of Gotham's underground, all connected to the ground There will be no omissions in the rooms and passages, and they will all be filled with hard ice."

"That is to say, if the trapped people want to leave the Gotham underground, there are only two ways."

"Or, dig down the rock formation, dig a tunnel where the low-temperature emitters can't radiate, and then dig out Gotham City."

"Or, just dig up, break through the hard ice, and then leave the ground."

"But in fact, they shouldn't have this kind of ability, right?" Gordon heard what Victor meant.

"I'm not proud." Victor put down the materials and said, "But digging upwards is absolutely impossible. They can't destroy the ice layer I made, and digging downwards..."

Schiller continued: "With the size of Gotham City, it will take at least a year to dig out."

"In the final analysis, these people rely on conspiracy to make a living. In terms of physical strength, they are probably not as good as gangsters who often fight on the street."

"The claws they raised are killers, not excavators. If there are ten times the number, it is impossible to dig them out by manpower."

"So, we kidnapped the Court of Owls?" Gordon showed a strange expression, and said, "I thought they were such a difficult organization to deal with, but now they are completely trapped."

"So..." Gordon paused, as if he was still a little uncomfortable with his role, he said, "We are now kidnappers, and we want to ask them for ransom?"

Schiller shook his head and said: "This is just a metaphor, detective, you haven't grasped the essence. We are not kidnappers, we are just defending ourselves."

"This group of terrorists called the Court of Owls is, yes, terrorists."

"They used large-scale weather disaster weapons, which threatened the safety of the citizens of the whole city and caused such a large loss. We should legally and reasonably claim compensation from them, shouldn't we?"

Gordon glanced at Batman, he was still silent, and did not show any surprise to this statement. Obviously, this was what they had planned long ago, and Batman was also one of the insiders.

"Speaking of which, Detective, what is the loss of the police station?"

"Uh...the police station did not suffer any losses. This is not a gang fire. We just helped evacuate the citizens, and then adjusted the traffic route of the engineering team..."

"Really? But these terrorists are so vicious, didn't they send killers to attack you?"

Gordon looked at Schiller, and asked tentatively: "Um... have they sent? Oh, they did, sent... two teams of killers?"

"No, no, at least one battalion."

Gordon covered his forehead and said: "This is too exaggerated!"

"They have been operating in Gotham for hundreds of years. If they don't even have this kind of manpower, how can they be called the largest and oldest terrorist organization in Gotham?"

"Okay, but..."

Schiller raised his voice and said in a melodious manner: "The heroic fighters of the Gotham Police Department fought with them all night, and used their blood to create the immortal glory of Gotham! 3,000 policemen risked their lives. After a night of **** battle, they died More than half of them died, and the remaining half were seriously injured. Their greatness is worth remembering..."

"But... the entire Gotham Police Department doesn't even have 300 people..." Gordon touched his chest, as if he felt a little bit sorry for his conscience.

"It doesn't matter, Sergeant Gordon, we are the victims, as much as we say."

Schiller suddenly changed the subject and asked, "How about the high-end apartment on Jiamo Street?"

"Of course it's very good. It's the first class in the outskirts of the wealthy southern area. I was..."

Gordon suddenly seemed to be choking, his face was a little flushed, he looked at Schiller and said, "I'm not that kind of person, you can't bribe me like this, I'm a conscientious policeman..."

"Conscience should be reserved for those who need it."

At this moment, the mayor Roy rushed in. He was still holding the walkie-talkie, his boots were covered with muddy water, and he had obviously just passed through the street. He said, "Guys! Good news! The loss of personnel is very light..."

Roy said in disbelief: "The emergency evacuation capabilities of Gotham citizens are too strong. We issued a danger notice three hours in advance. Within three hours, almost all citizens were evacuated to safe high-rise buildings. This kind of mobilization ability, even the metropolis can't match it?"

Roy said with a sigh: "In such a big disaster, less than 20 people died, and most of them were drunks who had drunk unconsciously or high-spirited gentlemen, although thousands of people were injured. people, but most of them are not serious injuries, and don’t even need to be hospitalized, the first aid kit is enough.”

"You don't even look at how many gang fights happen in Gotham every day." Gordon whispered, "If you run slowly, you will die long ago."

Schiller knocked on the table and said rather dissatisfied: "Mayor Roy, you came at a really bad time. We are discussing the loss of Gotham City."

"What's wrong? Isn't it a good thing to lose less?" Roy asked with staring eyes.

"Mayor Roy..." Schiller smiled at Roy, and then asked, "...do you know about the kidnapping?"

Gordon covered his face with his hands.

Ten minutes later, Roy picked up a tissue and blew his nose fiercely, and the table in front of him was already covered with paper **** of wiping his nose and tears, and he said very sadly: "... I am deeply saddened by this tragic disaster! Hundreds of thousands of lives have been destroyed, and the great achievements of human civilization have been destroyed!"

"This group of inhuman terrorists! A massacre was carried out in Gotham City. We killed more than 10,000 people. All the hospitals in Gotham were full. There are countless people. There is no cure for the medicine, God, help us..."

Roy blew his nose hard again, and said while crying: "This is the largest terrorist attack in the history of the Federation! Nail the name on the pillar of shame forever, Owl Court!"

Gordon stared at Roy with wide eyes, as if he didn't expect his acting skills to be so good.

"Do you think it's better for me to be sad gradually, or to burst out intensely at the beginning?" Roy grabbed another tissue, wiped his tears and said, "I think the latter should be more impactful. Some."

"That's it. You start tomorrow's press conference. The reporters have already contacted you. The largest newspapers and media on the east coast will be there. You have about 30 minutes to express your emotions."

Then Schiller patted the table, attracted the attention of several people and said: "Okay, next, let's contact the victim...I mean the culprit."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Batman and said, "They should have a unique signal transmitter to communicate with the monitoring on the ground. If you can intercept this part of the signal..."

Before Schiller finished speaking, Batman said: "Actually, I have intercepted and locked their location, and I can send communications to the other party."

Batman looked at Schiller and said, "Do you have anything to say to them?"

Schiller showed a smile, which made the rest of the people shudder.

In the dark conference room underground in Gotham, people wearing white bird-shaped masks still gathered around the huge long table, but they had long since lost their composure.

At this time, a radio placed on the cabinet next to it was used for communication, and suddenly there were several whistling electric sounds. Everyone turned their heads, and when their eyes fell on the radio, a voice came from inside. Slightly hoarse voice:

"I want to play a game with you."
