The so-called exercise is to consume the energy in the body through exercise, and then replenish it through energy intake. Between this out and in, the process of increasing the upper limit of its energy is realized.
Prior to this, the energy in Li Congxin's body was really too huge. Under normal circumstances, the consumption would be negligible.
If the consumption cannot be completed, the effect of exercise will not be achieved.
Therefore, even if Li broke through the limit for the second time, the overall increase in his strength was still minimal. His combat effectiveness probably only increased from 10 to 12 before, and then there was no increase.
Until this trip to the Middle East, he first made up for the loopholes in Mind Stone after a mountain earthquake, and then was seriously injured in a battle with the Mandarin. Finally, nourished by the blood of his aunt Monica, he finally made a breakthrough again, probably reaching the level of around 13 widows, or even a little higher.
However, there is no way to continuously make him stronger. This kind of power is not enough to make him confident. The Mandarin that was shaken out during the heyhey at Rock Mountain before is a good proof.
Now with this Gravity Chamber, his strength has finally ushered in a period of rapid growth again.
In less than three days, Li Congxin's combat power went from around 13 to 14, reaching close to 15. The growth rate was astonishing.
Even Captain America, Winter Soldier, and Yi Long started to train with Gravity Chamber, and their long-stagnant strength once again increased, but not as fast as Li Congxin.
In order to facilitate training, Li Congxin has begun the construction work of the second and third Gravity Chamber, preparing to place them in his two newly purchased villas near Los Angeles and the beach resort area respectively.
After all, the most difficult part of any technology is the initial stage of research and development. After the first finished product is produced, it is much easier to copy the next one. Li Congxin is even fully capable of doing this work himself, so there is no need to bother Old Pi at all.
However, as Gravity Chamber is officially used in training, a new problem has emerged.
As mentioned before, exercise is a process of consumption and replenishment. Now the problem of consumption has been solved, but replenishment has become a problem again.
Ordinary food can provide limited energy. Captain America's situation is slightly better. Their food intake is only about twice that of ordinary special forces.
But Li Congxin is more troublesome. Even if he hires a nutritionist to prepare recipes, he still needs to spend at least three hours a day eating, and another half an hour in the bathroom.
Generally speaking, due to the insufficient proportion of energy provided by food, the process of replenishing energy is very inefficient.
Looking at those martial arts and fairy novels, martial arts masters and immortal cultivators do not need to eat very much, and they can also become stronger with practice. That is because they can practice by refining elixirs, breathing, and even absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon.
Li Congxin doesn't know if Marvel Universe has that way of absorbing energy. At least he has not found a similar method among the cultivation methods he has come into contact with.
Now Li Congxin urgently needs to develop a feasible solution that can quickly solve the problem, otherwise eating and drinking all day long will not be a thing after all.
What a waste of time!
For this reason, Li Congxin specially found Old Pi and Xiao Bai to discuss it, and asked Xiao Bai to start recruiting scientists in biology and nutrition. Old Pi was responsible for checking and auditing. It can't be that just anyone pretending to be a scientist can sneak into Pym Laboratories, right?
After entrusting the matter to Li Congxin, he took Captain America and Bucky and drove Lamborghini directly to Tony Stark's sea view villa located in Los Angeles.
This time I came to see Tony. On the one hand, I took Iron Man's script to see if he was satisfied with it. On the other hand, it is also to make Captain America and Bucky and Iron Tony familiar with each other. It is best to have a little friendship or even sexual love, which would be perfect.
The death of Howard Stark is always a bomb that may explode at any time, especially when important evidence is in the hands of Hydra, and it is tantamount to the remote control of the bomb being held in the hands of the other party, and a huge crisis may erupt at any time!
Regarding this danger, Li Congxin even went to Old Pi to discuss the matter, but still could not find any reasonable solution. In particular, Old Pi has been biased against the Stark family from the beginning to the end, and is extremely subjective when analyzing problems, which greatly reduces its reference value.
After much thought, Li Congxin decided to adopt the strategy of Xu Tuzhi and play the emotional card.
Let them establish a certain emotional foundation with Tony first, and then find a suitable opportunity to tell Tony the truth about the matter, thus completely eliminating this hidden danger.
As soon as they met, Li Congxin heard Tony say with a mocking face, "Clark, it's incredible that you, a guy like me, would do anything for my information."
Li Congxin was stunned, but saw that Tony had already smiled and put his arms around his shoulders, "In order to write the script to my satisfaction, you kid actually went to the Middle East to conduct a field trip. Because of your serious attitude, as long as the script is not too poorly written, I can accept it."
Did this narcissistic guy actually imagine that he went to the Middle East to perform a mission like this?
Li Congxin did not explain, and chose the acquiescence without any courtesy, and then added, "This time I went to the Middle East, not only did I see the desolate desert, I even fought against the leader behind Ten Rings Gang."
Tony was stunned. "What was the result? Did you kill the other party?"
Li Congxin shook his head with a solemn expression. "The other party's name is the Mandarin. He has ten special rings on his hand. Each one has extremely powerful abilities. I'm not afraid of your jokes. In that battle with him, I almost didn't come back alive!"
Tony heard this with a serious face, Li Congxin then added, "But I didn't gain anything. During the battle, I cut off one of his fingers and gained a ring. I am currently researching it. If you have time, you can also take the time to go and have a look. It seems to be a high-tech product from aliens."
While talking, Tony had already led the three people upstairs. Seeing the scene in front of him that looked like a car accident scene, Li Congxin couldn't help but exclaimed, "Is your home being attacked by some scary guy again?"
"On the contrary." Tony said proudly, "I have already researched the New Element you mentioned before. Now there is only the last step to inject the energy of New Element into the energy-gathering ring over there and you are done."
As he said that, Tony had already started to lift a thick pipe in front of him, turned to Captain America on the other side and said, "Brother, I remember your name is Shi Aiguo, right? Come and do me a favor, use that thing to cushion the pipe for me."
After hearing this, Captain America subconsciously picked up something that looked like his signature Round Shield model, and put it under the pipe with a confused look on his face.
"OK!" Tony cheered excitedly, then quickly started the machine and injected high-intensity blue energy into a triangular energy-gathering ring.
He used pliers to pick up the energy-gathering ring and embedded it in a reactor that had been prepared. Tony finally couldn't help but cheered excitedly. "My Moon Prism Reactor is finally done!"
"Wait!" Li Congxin heard this and quickly interrupted his cheers, "What do you call this thing?"
Received Impression Points+25877 from Tony Stark!
Although he wanted to slap himself in the face, on the surface this guy still pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I call it New Energy Arc Reactor. Is there any problem?"
"No!" Li Congxin shook his head very seriously. "That's not what I just heard."
"That's an illusion." Tony insisted. "If you continue to refute me, there may be some errors and omissions in the information I give you after the deal is officially concluded."
Okay, old man, you have grown up and learned to threaten people!
Li Congxin was about to refute, but saw that Tony had replaced the old reactor with his "Moon Prism". With the injection of new energy, the previous poisoning was immediately relieved, and the effect was almost immediate.
After taking two deep breaths of fresh air, Tony felt as if he had been reborn. He turned to Captain America and Winter Soldier and half-jokingly asked Li Congxin: "Don't your two bodyguards dare to show their true colors to others?"
Li Congxin was stunned when he heard this. "How did you find out?"
Tony smiled and looked very proud. Finally, Li Congxin made a comeback, it's not easy!
"Your Bionic Mask is very exquisitely made. If it were my butler or Jarvis, there really wouldn't be any flaws. However, Eris's ability is more powerful than Jarvis. She discovered this secret as early as when Shi Aiguo first appeared."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Clark." At this time, Eris said with a slightly aggrieved voice, "I didn't want to talk about this matter, but you also know that I can't disobey any of Mr. Stark's orders. He asked me if I had discovered any other secrets about you..."
"Understood."
Li Congxin waved his hand, and then nodded to the two shield and winter men beside him. Upon seeing this, they both removed Bionic Mask from their faces.
The purpose of Li Congxin is to let Dundong and Tony establish some feelings. Sooner or later, the mask will have to be taken off. Now that Tony proposes it himself, it is not a bad opportunity.
Seeing these two faces that he had only seen in photos and video materials, Tony had no doubt that the faces Li Congxin had deliberately hidden were the faces of two celebrities.
He turned back to look at Li Congxin blankly. "Where did you dig these two old antiques from?"
Li Congxin smiled slightly, "One is under the glacier of Siberia. Let me introduce you again. His name is Steve Rogers. From the seniority level, you should call him uncle. The other one was found by me in the Middle East. I also know his name, Bucky Barnes..."
Just when Li Congxin was planning to follow this topic and introduce the tragic experience of Bucky to win a wave of sympathy points for him, Eris's voice suddenly rang out.
"Mr. Stark, your express delivery is coming to your door. Please check it carefully."
