Black Hole Metal

Under the cloak of night, New York City was ablaze with lights.

On the forty-seventh floor of Fisk Tower, however, it was pitch black.

Wilson Grant Fisk, a man of robust build and muscular physique, stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the myriad of lights and bustling traffic below, silent.

"Bullseye is dead, Viper Boss, and the Viper Brothers have all been eliminated!" a gentle male voice sounded from behind him.

"Mm!" Fisk's reaction was subdued.

He never underestimated anyone and always made thorough preparations for everything he did.

When he sent Bullseye to assassinate, he had naturally prepared for Bullseye to be killed in return.

He just hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.

Bullseye was a veteran of many battles; did he not even get a chance to struggle?

It seemed he needed to re-evaluate his assessment of that Asian individual.

"Continue gathering intelligence on him, and also investigate his next moves!" Bullseye was no ordinary assassin. Even Kingpin himself would have to put in considerable effort to take him down.

For that Asian individual to easily eliminate Bullseye, he might have some hidden means, or he might be extremely powerful.

Whichever it was, it was not advisable to make a move in the short term.

"Also, arrange for more people to go in!" Kingpin continued.

"Yes!"

"Oh, right, what's his name?" Kingpin suddenly realized that after all this time, he still didn't know the Asian individual's name!

"I'll go check right now!"

The room fell silent again.

Bai Jing entered the bedroom and the very first second he noticed someone lying on his bed!

"Huh?" Bai Jing, holding a poker, turned on the light. Then, the poker he was about to throw was immediately retracted.

Because Lumira was lying on the bed.

"What's going on?" Bai Jing turned and asked.

Denny shrugged. "You just said to arrange for her, and we didn't know where to put her. Besides, she's 12 years old this year, not exactly a child!"

Didn't many important figures in America like girls of this age? She had seen it many times!

Bai Jing frowned. "If you act on your own initiative like this again, you won't have to live anymore!"

A stinking woman with a pockmarked face, rough skin, and body odor – who gave you the confidence to act cute here!

Denny's face immediately turned pale. She had just learned that the three bosses of the Viper Gang were all dead...

And this boss didn't show her the kind of lust that other men displayed...

She dared not gamble whether Bai Jing truly intended to kill her or was just issuing a warning. In the Black List, one absolutely could not be too optimistic.

"Then, how should she be arranged?" Denny asked cautiously.

"Find her an empty room!" Bai Jing waved his hand. Although it would wake the young girl, what did it matter?

You don't work, and you don't go to school anyway.

He could let Lumira stay tonight and move her to another room later, but that would give those idiots ammunition. No amount of explanation would be useful then.

More importantly, the enemy would then think that his weakness was Lumira.

Bai Jing did not want others to suffer any fate they shouldn't have to because of him.

However, Lumira seemed to be sleeping soundly. She didn't even wake up when she was carried away.

So be it!

Bai Jing lay on the bed, his mind no longer on sleep.

Because he had just obtained a treasure, the six suspected Adamantium items!

He took out six metal blocks from his pocket. These six metal blocks were silver-white and emitted a bright luster under the light.

Bai Jing was certain that these metals were either Vibranium or Adamantium, as they could withstand a metal poker traveling at five times the speed of sound.

And the fact that the metal poker did not deform significantly meant that the impact force was basically absorbed by this metal.

It was more likely to be Adamantium, because there were no records of Vibranium being injected into the human body, but everyone knew about Adamantium – Wolverine.

As for what it actually was, a scan would tell!

Adamantium and Vibranium could not block gravity. Under gravity detection, Bai Jing found that the main atoms of these metals were not anything else, but iron atoms!

"Adamantium!" Case closed.

Adamantium was primarily made of iron, whereas Vibranium was a different element.

"I didn't expect Bullseye to have this stuff inside him!" Bai Jing was somewhat excited. After all, it was the hardest metal in the world!

With this, Bai Jing's gravity cannonballs would no longer have to worry about melting under high temperatures!

He could accelerate them by 27 turns, 37 turns!

Next, it's up to him to see if he can process these metals!

Under the event horizon of the black hole, Bai Jing carefully selected a layer of atoms and chose to absorb it!

It didn't budge!

"Huh?" Bai Jing blinked and increased his strength!

However, he only felt that the layer of atoms was as if it were firmly etched into an atomic network, as if it hadn't moved at all?

"How is that possible? I am a black hole!" Bai Jing refused to believe it, concentrating all his mental energy, his eyes bulging out!

Hum!

A single atom vibrated slightly, and Bai Jing immediately became excited.

He felt that one of the atoms in that layer had been pulled up by him just a tiny bit!

Adamantium is the hardest metal in the known universe. There are black holes in the universe, and those gods and aliens know about black holes, yet they still say Adamantium is the hardest.

This means Adamantium is harder than a black hole.

Although Bai Jing called his eyes the "Black Hole Eyes," it was just a cool-sounding name. In reality, he didn't consider his eyes to be actual black holes, nor was he confident that his eyes could modify Adamantium.

But now, it seemed these eyes were no less capable than a black hole!

He had only been here for two days, and his eyes hadn't evolved at all. Now he could move a molecule. After absorbing the hammer and the Infinity Stones, he might be able to knead Adamantium like dough!

He looked around and found a safe hidden behind a bookshelf.

He didn't know the password, so he just broke the lock.

Inside the safe was a stack of US dollars, a silver handgun Bai Jing didn't recognize, and two boxes of ammunition next to it.

He was completely uninterested in the handgun and put it down after a couple of glances.

There were about $300,000 in US dollars. He took out $10,000, then put in five pieces of Adamantium, leaving only the smallest piece, which might be useful later.

He closed the safe and thought, if he couldn't move the Adamantium, couldn't he move the atoms of an ordinary box?

He tried to use gravity to move the metal atoms on the safe. If moving the atoms of Adamantium felt like moving a mountain to Bai Jing, then moving the atoms of ordinary metal felt like picking up an orange that had fallen on the ground.

The difficulty levels were simply one in the sky and the other on the ground!

Although the metal used for the safe was also a special alloy.

"As expected!" Bai Jing excitedly took out a deck of playing cards.

The fifty-four cards, about a centimeter thick, were still too cumbersome to hold!

He stacked 18 cards together and began to use gravity to control molecular fusion!

Even though a single card was tightly connected, impenetrable, and without a single gap, in the microscopic realm, the distance between titanium atoms within the card was as vast as placing a soccer ball at each goal on a soccer field!

With such a vast space, let alone adding 18 more atoms, 180,000 or even 1.8 billion more would still be more than enough!

Theoretically, Bai Jing could fuse 90 quintillion cards into a single card that was only 0.2mm thick, with its length and width unchanged. Then, if he threw that card, even Thanos would kneel! (I've written the formula below. Please point out any calculation errors, my math isn't great.)

As for why not other numbers, but 18?

When he was controlling cards on the rooftop earlier, he discovered that he couldn't multitask too much.

In his original world, he was just an ordinary person who couldn't even do two things at once.

Now, perhaps due to the black hole's enhancement, he could manage three things at once, but no more.

Therefore, a deck of cards, compressed into 3 stacks, was enough for now!

As for whether he could control a hundred or so poker cards simultaneously through training in the future, that remained to be seen.

Under the immense pressure of the black hole, the eighteen poker cards were like they were being pressed by a ten-thousand-ton hydraulic press, smoothly fusing into one. The entire operation was seamless, and Bai Jing didn't feel any difficulty!

However, isn't compressing other substances with a black hole basic operation?

"The Marvel Universe has Adamantium, Vibranium, Carbon Sodium Steel, and Uru Metal, plus Iron Man's Gold Titanium Alloy, barely making up the top five metals. I have Black Hole Forging Technology, so the metal I create should be stronger than Gold Titanium Alloy!" Bai Jing looked at the silver playing cards in his hand. Their size seemed unchanged, but in reality, their hardness, sharpness, and quality were more than ten times better than before.

So, Black Hole Metal should have a place in the Marvel Universe from now on!

I'll write the formula here:

The volume of one poker card is 87*57*0.2 = 991 cubic millimeters.

According to the sphere volume formula V=4/3πR, this is a sphere with a radius of 6.1 millimeters.

And this sphere is formed by compressing titanium alloy to its limit.

This means it's a black hole with a Schwarzschild radius of 6.1mm.

Then the mass of this black hole is:

m=rc/2G, where c is the speed of light and G is the gravitational constant.

So, m = (6.1 * 10^-9 * 10^16) / (2 * 6.67 * 10^-11) = 4 * 10^24 kg.

The density of titanium alloy is 4510 kg/m³.

This means 9 * 10^20 cubic meters of titanium alloy are needed.

The surface area of a playing card is 0.087 * 0.057 = 0.004959 square meters.

Therefore, a titanium alloy [height] of 1.8 * 10^23 meters is needed.

The thickness of a playing card is 0.2mm, so 9 * 10^26 cards are needed.

This is 90 billion trillion cards.

Theoretically, 90 billion trillion cards can be compressed into a black hole of the same size.
