Moreover, this metal could be molded into any shape when heated to extremely high temperatures. Once cooled, it immediately set, gaining the property of being "indestructible." Tests showed that it might even withstand the impact of a nuclear bomb.
This property inevitably reminded Dane of another famous metal from Marvel—Adamantium—and he gave it that name.
Adamantium could be smelted with other metals to form alloys with differing properties, but their fundamental trait was always "hardness."
Dane knew that Adamantium alloy could undergo a remarkable compound reaction with living organisms, even growing along with them.
The most typical example was Wolverine. The Adamantium alloy in his body had undergone molecular-level changes and would not inhibit the growth of his bones. Even if his metal claws were broken, they could grow back like bone claws.
This made the metal an excellent skeletal component. Using it as the framework for a synthetic being would not only grant indestructibility, but even if something went wrong, it could heal like normal bone.
However, for the flesh and blood, Dane preferred other materials. Taking the Eternals' bodies as reference, he hoped to create a "person" closer to a true life-form rather than a machine.
The Three-Body Problem Was Actually Me?
At the symposium, the problem everyone faced was how to let the new intelligent life retain her abilities in the digital world while possessing a physical body.
According to Dane's blueprint, the new Cortana would be an individual closer to a biological organism. Though she might lack the ability to reproduce like the Eternals, she would have DNA, which meant she possessed genetic information.
Theoretically, cloning technology could produce a biological clone of her.
But in this regard, Dane intended to use materials to make cloning more difficult. Without Adamantium alloy and other rare elements, even
