Luke was right.
Linda was really afraid. The moment she stepped on the lonely fortress, she thought of her wandering days in the chaotic time and space. The experience of that time could not be described in words.
Spaceflight is not as beautiful as you think. Especially when using space transition technology, every transition is a journey of life and death. Black holes, dark matter energy regions, chaotic space, high-dimensional organisms that exist for many years and so on will affect the transition. The result depends on luck.
In a word, if you are lucky enough to go home for dinner, if you are not lucky enough, the whole village will go to your home for dinner.
The space transition is so scary.
Once upon a time, Linda didn't want to experience the second time. She needed someone to cheer her up and think about it. There was only Luke Shaw. But this guy's character was really elusive. In order to make him nod, she had to use some means that couldn't be on the stage.
In fact, when she said that sentence, Linda's heart almost reached her throat. She was very worried about being rejected and even more worried about making her partner angry.
She has only such a friend.
"How long does it take to talk? If it takes more than three months, leave as soon as possible. I don't have so much time to accompany you in the universe."
"It doesn't take three months. One month is enough."
"A month? Are you sure? "
Linda nodded again and again, "lonely fortress has the most advanced space transition technology. It takes only two transitions from earth to krypton. The time for each leap is about six days. If everything goes well, you can come back in 24 days."
She still has a word to say, the success rate of each transition is 85%, that is to say, once it comes back, there is only half the chance to ensure that there is no accident.
Of course, Linda would never say anything about lifting a stone and hitting her own feet. Even if Luke asked, she would give a 100% answer. Anyway, he didn't understand.
Luke really doesn't know how space jumps work, and no one on earth knows.
"I can go with you in a month, but there's one thing you have to promise me."
"What's the matter, you say."
Luke said seriously, "I want to learn the science and technology knowledge of lonely fortress. No matter what I learn, you can't stop me. If you don't understand something, you have to explain it."
Linda frowned and looked puzzled,
"I don't understand why you are so keen on science and technology."
Luke shrugged. "Don't you think the world is too dangerous?"
"Science and technology will bring danger. Without science and technology, there will be no danger."
"According to one of the Chinese allegorical sayings, your saying is: if you are full, you don't know if you are hungry."
The girl blinked. What's full and hungry? Sounds weird.
"Forget it, I can't explain it to you clearly. In a word, the poor rely on variation, and the rich rely on technology. For me, a foreigner who has no system to add body and whose body is as crisp as a piece of paper, but still wants to be happy, a High-height Technology equipment is a necessity for home travel and killing people and stealing goods. Do you understand?"
Linda shook her head. "I don't understand."
"If you don't understand, since you decide to go to outer space, you can't hide some things. Take me to seaside city."
"Now?"
"Yes, now."
Linda doesn't know what Luke is up to. It's probably not a good thing. For his part, she reluctantly gives him a ride.
Kryptonian's speed is not built. The straight-line distance from metropolis to seaside city is nearly 4000 km. It takes six hours to fly, but it only takes a few minutes to fly at full speed. The only disadvantage is that it's too cold and shivering.
The two landed near the wharf of the West Port in the seaside city.
Luke opened the door of container 13, pressed the hide button on the top of the shelf, and the ground began to fall. After a distance of about ten meters, the scene in front of him suddenly lit up.
In the light, an underground base nearly 100 meters long and wide emerged.
Luke opened his hands and said with a smile,
"welcome to my secret base, Miss Danvers. You are the third human and the only female to set foot here."
"Look at it, touch it, tell me where you don't understand, and I'll help you."
Linda looks around curiously. First of all, a row of cool super sports cars, including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and many other brands, are introduced to her eyes. Then there are all kinds of weapons and equipment on the shelves: grenades, explosives, rockets and even an intercontinental missile.
Apart from the eye-catching stuff, the rest is the equipment.
Dozens of instruments are divided into various parts, some are like lightning manufacturing devices, some are like nuclear reaction furnaces, some are like punching machines, CNC lathes, high-end facilities for making precision instruments, high-temperature forging devices, element analyzers, spectrometers, resonators, etc.
After watching this, Linda was totally confused. She couldn't figure out what kind of freak would play tricks on these things. Her brain was sick!Luke took a deep breath, with an indescribable look in his eyes,
"do you think it's cool? Am I great?"
Linda laughed awkwardly, and make complaints about his speech. "To take a lot of money, these instruments, sports cars and guns," he said to his lips.
"All the money I earn is spent here, nearly seven billion dollars. Unfortunately, it's not enough."
Luke shook his head helplessly. "Come with me and show you a baby."
They went through the corridor to the deepest chamber of secrets.
Turn on the light, a pair of metal armor like a ghost enters the field of vision.
The armor is dark, but it doesn't reflect light. It has purple lines on its shoulders and chest. Its head is inverted triangle, and its top is convex on both sides. It is like two sharp blades. Its shoulders are wide and thick, and it extends outward slightly. Its arms and legs are streamlined, not like metal, but like polymer.
The whole set of armor gives a mysterious and cold visual feeling, just like facing a killer coming out of the dark abyss.
Luke walked up to the armor and knocked twice on his chest,
"the greatest technological crystal in the world, ghost 1 prototype armor, is unique."
"Isn't it cool?"
Linda swallowed her breath and said,
"that's what you mean: the poor rely on variation, and the rich rely on technology."
Luke thought about it, nodded and said, "you can think of it that way."
Linda stepped forward, looked the armor carefully up and down, and said uncertainly,
"are you sure it can protect you? To be honest, I don't think this pile of iron bumps can be of any use."
Luke browed slightly. "Do you want to try?"
"How?"
"With you, of course."
"Me?"
Linda pointed to herself and shook her head with exaggeration. "Forget it. You don't know my strength. I don't know how heavy my punch is."
"If it hits you, it's likely to kill you."
Although it is not stated clearly, the contempt between words can not be covered up.
Luke was not angry either. He turned on the power source, put on the ghost No.1 prototype armor, stood in front of the female super as a steel ghost guest,
"come on, Miss Danvers, you won't die if you try."
