Chapter 1748 S: The Great Event of Apocalypse (XV)

"Really building a maze?"

Lex asked in surprise as he watched Bruce pull out a pile of blueprints.

Pamela put her hands on the table, turned to look at Bruce and said, "Are you looking for trouble? You have found the source of your power, why do you still care about these disguised forms?"

"This is not a formality." Bruce shrugged and said, "I found this method to be very good. Once an external enemy invades, we can directly activate the Gotham Magic Field and fly to the sky, and then leave the maze to the external enemy. More importantly, What’s more, the maze I built is definitely better than theirs.”

"Moreover, if you want to get more budget, you have to have a bigger project. I can't tell the man behind the scenes that the purpose of asking for so much power is to prevent Gotham from having traffic jams, right? How can I get the funding?" Have to come down?”

Pamela suddenly became discouraged and waved her hand in front of her face, saying speechlessly: "I find that you are really getting more and more cunning, what a businessman you are!"

Lex became interested. He stood up from his chair and walked to the opposite side of the table. While looking down at the design drawings, he said, "I'm a little interested in this project, but first tell me how you found the source of power, and then how." Got in touch with the other party.”

"This is not difficult. There is no need to guess too much that the source of power is underground, but determining the specific location is actually an accident."

With Bruce's narration, everyone in the room understood the whole story.

When Roy wanted to improve Gotham's transportation, the first person he approached was of course the big financier Wayne, but he also knew that no matter how rich Wayne was, there was a limit. The Gotham City Renovation Project had almost destroyed the Wayne Group. If you are hollowed out, it will be difficult to reach the sky if you want to run two parallel lines.

But who is Batman? If there are difficulties, he must face difficulties. If there are no difficulties, he must face difficulties. The biggest difficulty he faces now is actually that he wants to finish all the work for the next one hundred years within ten years.

Normally speaking, the transformation of any city is not accomplished overnight. It requires repeated trial and error processes. The design on paper may be good, but when it is implemented, new problems arise, and then modifications are made. This is actually the most time-consuming. of.

Bruce created the Gotham world in order to conduct trial and error for the Gotham renovation project. On the one hand, it would not hurt real people if the construction was wrong, and on the other hand, after the construction of the Gotham world was completed, the effect was not good. It's easier to tear it down and rebuild it.

There is no problem with the residential area being set up like this. Teachers and students from the Gotham Academy of Magic can go in and experience it, and then find faults with the experimental products. At the worst, we can get a few more bold Gothamites to come in for on-the-spot inspections. Copot's men The Children's Gang will be happy to do so.

But the transportation network problem cannot be solved in this way, because to measure the operating status of a city's transportation network requires a large amount of traffic flow, through working days, holidays, flat periods, peak periods, and testing of extreme conditions and redundancy. Bruce is not Maybe get all the drivers in Gotham to the other world to test the transportation network he built.

What should you do if you are in a hurry and don’t have time? Bruce came up with a brilliant idea to steal time, which was to use the Flash card bug.

According to the Flash in the main world, he cannot travel to the future to take a look at the results before telling Bruce, because that is very likely to cause a time paradox, which will destroy the universe.

But Bruce's genius won't die out so easily.

He decided to bring a younger version of himself over, give him his plan, and then let him go back to his younger Gotham to make trial and error bit by bit, and finally let The Flash travel back to Bruce's world. Thirty or forty years later, bring the results back to yourself.

In this way, he could steal thirty or forty years of Bruce's universe without the potentially devastating consequences of playing with the time and knowledge of the same universe.

If there are still errors in the accumulation, for example, the transportation network of Gotham in the universe where young Bruce lives is not as good as Bruce expected, then he will update his plan based on the mistakes, and then find a young person. Come here by yourself...

In this way, after a short period of iteration in his universe, Bruce will sooner or later find a perfect plan, and then proceed directly to construction, avoiding the long process of trial and error.

Bruce, who used the bug to rescue Martha the Clown, has now become a veritable king of ideas in Gotham. After solving the time cost problem, he began to think about how to solve the material cost.

At this time, Bruce has already realized the question that Pamela raised before. The builders of Gotham are constantly injecting darkness into the metal of Gotham buildings. Now that he is also a builder of Gotham, can he also use that? Kind of darkness?

The other party's purpose is to let darkness pollute Gotham, but it has already been polluted anyway, why not find a more efficient way to use it?

A truly thought-through Batman decided on the spot - the owl is actually me, give me the budget and I will build it!

During the development period, everything can make concessions for development. Don't worry about whether the energy is dark or not. Just say whether it is useful or not, right?

So, Bruce began to look for a way to contact the energy provider, but this time Victor came to him.

This is the accident Bruce mentioned. Victor said that many gangs frequently asked him to repair an underground dense ice cold storage in a place. Every time Victor went there, there was no problem with the ice, but he would still do his duty to re-reinforce the dense ice in the cold storage, but every time it didn't take long for the ice to break, melt, or even explode.

Victor has been studying dense ice for so long and has never encountered such a strange thing. He has been studying for a long time and has no clue, so he wants to find Bruce to use his wisdom to see if the problem can be solved.

When Bruce went to the underground cold storage to check, he found that it might not be a hardware problem. He brought a machine to detect radiation, and then found that it was indeed some special wavelengths of radiation that affected the arrangement of the atomic structure inside the dense ice. Following the radiation source, Bruce found the source of dark energy hidden underground.

Because the traces of the owl's existence were erased, there was no ready-made magic circle, but Bruce happened to go to the magic world to study magic theory some time ago, and went to heaven to be an angel for a while.

After studying the nature of the comprehensive power, the way the power source is presented, and the possible form of opening the channel, Bruce found Barbatos's phone number in a short time. Although the door has not been opened, the power can be transmitted through the channel.

In the conference room, Bruce and Pamela exchanged positions. He propped his hands in front of the huge map, looked at everyone in the room, and then said his plan. In a word, build the biggest project, get the most budget, produce the best results, and roll up all the owls in the universe!

Facts have proved that bats are greater than owls.

The Court of Owls and the followers of Judas are all subordinates of Barbatos. If Barbatos wants to use them to erode the main universe, he must lend them power, and it is the kind of loan that does not require the other party to repay the price. The only thing Barbatos wants is the erosion results, which is the so-called budget approval.

There is a default unspoken rule in government bidding projects, that is, the more fancy the bid is, the greater the possibility of a liar. Batman's bid is too well written.

When most of the Court of Owls prayed to Barbatos for power, they simply said, "Somewhere in Gotham, we're going to add some stuff. Please ask the great dark god to give us some power," and then a bunch of rainbow farts.

Batman is not like that. If he is really determined to deceive people, he will make sure that every link is watertight.

First, Falcone led the important figures of the twelve families to form a new Court of Owls, completely restoring the structure of the Court of Owls, which is composed of ordinary court members, members of the Owl Council, the Speaker, the Owl Priest in charge of religious affairs, and Judas believers.

Some people should still remember that the personality of Alberto was actually created by the Court of Owls to interfere with the Falcone family. This wave is to return to the roots and get back to the source.

When Barbatos received the prayer of the owl from this universe again, he was busy fighting with Nyarlathotep and didn't read it carefully. He thought that the Court of Owls might have encountered a wave of purges before, and this time they reorganized their forces. So when he received the budget application from the other party to rebuild the destroyed activity venue, he didn't think much and sent the forces directly.

Now that there is an activity venue for members to use, there must be a church to consolidate the faith of believers, right? Bruce wrote the main doctrines and Bibles of the followers of Judas in 200,000 words. Barbatos saw that the Court of Owls in this universe was very progressive and approved it.

Next came the budget for human resources to urgently replenish the personnel destroyed in the last war, the budget for the meeting to summarize and reflect on the war, the budget for personal training to make up for the shortcomings of the last operation, and the budget for the meeting to look forward to the future and formulate the next operation plan...

One after another, the plans and budget applications were sent to Barbatos like harassing calls. Barbatos was busy fighting with others, and he was fighting in the spiritual world. How could he have so much energy to look at the budget applications one by one?

It's not that he hasn't encountered the situation of greatly increased budget expenditures during the golden period of the construction of the Court of Owls before. Looking at it again, this universe has just been knocked out not long ago and is still young. It's really time for the Court of Owls to exert its strength. With a wave of his hand, he approved it all.

Then there was another 500,000 words to comprehensively analyze Batman's weaknesses, and focused on the necessity of building a comprehensive, three-dimensional, city-wide underground maze with more than 2,000 floors. Barbatos was dizzy when he saw it, and he approved it regardless of what they were going to do.

Seeing Barbatos' attitude, Batman and the super criminals all went crazy. They all brought out their plans to destroy the world, their super evil ideas, and their plans to conquer the universe.

So, the budget application flew into Barbatos' mind like snowflakes. Barbatos couldn't stand it anymore. He wanted to ask the priest to tell the believers to stop being so annoying. As a result, he received unprecedented enthusiastic prayers. Barbatos couldn't do anything about it.

The members of the Court of Owls may not be sincere in their belief in the dark god, but there is nothing more sincere than a poor graduate student believing in a boss who approves a generous budget.

Most members of the Court of Owls find a class for themselves, but this group of genius villains in Gotham are not like that. They believe in science, pursue the truth endlessly, and never stop on the road of seeking. Because of their love, they are passionate.

The sunrise over Gotham Bay still showed a brilliant purple edge from the orange-red edge. In the office of the chief physician of Arkham Asylum, Arrogance crossed his arms and looked at the patients hurriedly rushing to the laboratory downstairs. Say to greed in your heart.

"I knew it was bad for him to come to your place every two days."

"He doesn't just run to me. Ever since the elevator was built in Abyss, that's where he stayed most often. Otherwise, why would he suddenly change his hairstyle?"

"Sometimes I feel like I don't teach him enough."

"You think he doesn't have much of you, but isn't that what you want?"

Arrogant was silent for a while. When he returned to the palace of thought, he saw Greed lying on the railing of the patio and smiling at him. He heard Greed say.

"It's easy to understand and have a clear understanding of the heart. This is a divine revelation from heaven, just like the most beautiful flower that can grow from a seed."

Greed looked into Arrogant's eyes and said, "We all planted seeds in the yard, and you let the best flower you planted grow to everyone's window."

"And you enclose them all in your own flower pot."

"So I am greedy and you are arrogant. I treasure it and you show it, but in the end I still borrow your light... The flowers are beautiful."

Arrogant lowered his head and laughed softly.
