Peter breathed a long sigh of relief and carefully stacked the stack of heavy cartons in the center of London Sanctum's inner room.
"Peter, is this the last batch?" Qin Grey's voice came from upstairs.
"Yes!" Peter responded loudly, closing the newly opened portal with a flick of his hand, "Has everyone finished cleaning up?"
"Almost! Wanda just finished his work, come up and take a look!" Qin's voice was filled with a smile.
Speaking of which, London Sanctum and New York Sanctum are completely different. New York Sanctum is grand and solemn, while London Sanctum is located in a very small community and is much smaller in scale. It is basically squeezed between two identical buildings, with narrow passages and even narrower windows.
However, it is quite cozy here, probably suitable for a family of five to live comfortably. Because of this, the decoration here is full of the warmth of home. The walls are covered with lily yellow wallpaper, and there are sets of antique furniture - Peter knows in his heart that these furniture are all blessed by Magic.
The first floor is the ground floor, with a door, a kitchen, a dining room, and a separate room. That room has now become Peter's private laboratory. In exchange for this room, he had to give up the master bedroom to Qin and Felicia. Behind the first floor, there is a hidden wall panel, which opens into the portal leading to Kamar-Taj. The design is very simple.
The stairs leading upstairs are tucked into a corner, and the compartment under the stairs is used as a small storage room, used to store cleaning tools, hang coats, and even insert a shoe rack.
The second floor is the main living area. The former temple guardian once used this place as a small dojo for practicing martial arts, but after Peter and his group moved in, they immediately unanimously decided to turn this place into a living room, where they can install a TV and relax.
There is also Peter's bedroom on the second floor. It is a small space with only enough room for a built-in wardrobe, a double bed and a bookshelf. Qin and Felicia share the master bedroom. The room is three times larger than Peter's and has a king-size double bed in it. Less than a day after they moved in, posters were already posted on the wall and clothes were scattered all over the floor.
There are two bedrooms on the third floor, one is empty, and the other belongs to Wanda. The remaining space is divided into several small rooms, used to store a small but considerable number of sacred objects and weapons, and there is also a large library.
As for the fourth floor, there are more mysterious rooms that Peter has not yet had time to explore. There is a set of teleportation cabinets like New York Sanctum, several storage rooms, and an astronomical telescope through which you can observe the sky through a huge circular window. The mysterious seal of Agamotto is engraved on the window, like the brightest jewel in the crown.
There is also an attic at the top, where some ancient and weird old objects are stacked. However, Peter basically stays away from that place. After all, it is too dusty and it is too troublesome to clean up.
Peter picked up the box on the ground and walked up to the second floor.
Qin and Felicia were sitting comfortably on the sofa, while Wanda looked a little bored and was changing TV channels nonchalantly.
"How are you guys packing?" Peter put down the boxes, raised his hand to lift them up with telekinesis, and accurately placed them in their places - two boxes flew into the master bedroom, and three boxes flew into his own room.
"This TV show is simply unwatchable," Wanda shrugged and complained, "Isn't there something interesting? Why are London's TV shows so bad?"
Peter rolled his eyes. To be honest, Wanda's joining... was indeed an accident. The Ancient One did not ask her to be the guardian of this temple, but she insisted on coming. After a small argument that ended with Wanda winning without any suspense, the Ancient One acquiesced to her joining. This is indeed a bit strange.
"Okay, if you want to watch, I'll adjust the satellite dish later. It's not difficult to make it receive United States's network signal." Peter sighed and sank into the sofa, squeezed between Felicia and Qin. The two girls smiled sweetly at him and snuggled into his arms obediently.
Wanda looked at this scene and sneered, "Are you three planning to give birth to Ben and Hope as soon as possible?"
Peter's face suddenly turned red. "Wang, Wanda!"
"If I remember correctly, Wanda, you seem to have a child who can travel through time and space," Qin raised her eyebrows and smiled narrowly, "Or have you forgotten Stephen?"
"Qin!" Wanda was a little embarrassed.
Then, Wanda shrugged and returned to his indifferent attitude. "That child is very cute, but that doesn't mean I will join your harem. I have standards, and I will never share them with others, never."
"Can we change the topic? Talk about the weather? Or food? Is it lunch time now?" Peter quickly smoothed things over.
"I don't work." Felicia hummed while flipping through the magazine.
Peter raised his eyebrows. "Thank God, I don't want to die young due to food poisoning. With my ability to heal myself, it would be really big news if I was poisoned to death."
"Hey!" Felicia said coquettishly, reaching out and patting Peter on the arm.
"Okay," Qin chuckled and stood up, "I'll do it."
She stretched her arms and stretched her waist, and the hem of her clothes shrank slightly, revealing a flat and smooth lower abdomen. Peter I have to admit that Qin's figure is really good.
"So, what do you want to eat?" Qin asked.
"I can do that." Peter shrugged.
"Pizza!" Felicia yelled.
"As long as you can eat it." Wanda said.
"Then pizza." Qin smiled and walked downstairs towards the kitchen.
Peter sighed, "I'll go to the lab downstairs to work for a while. Call me if you need anything."
He kissed Felicia gently on the forehead, and then stood up. The girl smiled sweetly at him. Peter walked downstairs, pushed open the door of the private laboratory, and took it behind him.
As the door closed, the equipment in the laboratory hummed and started up the moment Peter stepped in.
"Welcome back, Peter."
The lights in the laboratory turned on one by one, illuminating every corner of the room, and the voice of AI Sassy sounded.
After settling in his new home, Peter went back to New York a few times and transported the equipment in Baxter Building one by one. Although this was a bit risky, he could never leave equipment worth half a billion dollars there to gather dust, let alone get it cheap S.H.I.E.L.D..
Although this laboratory was smaller than the one he was used to, it was adequate. A row of computer processors was lined up under the back wall, and a terminal was located in front for operation. The room was divided into several different areas for various projects, and the table was filled with beakers, chemical reagents, and other tools.
Using these technologies, Peter can greatly speed up research progress to find the power that can stop Thanos.
He decided to use the existing materials on hand: Vibranium, Mind Stone, and the small bottle of blood Franklin·Richards.
In order to better understand Vibranium, Peter began to fundamentally study metallurgy and connect it to physics, trying to figure out how this metal works. Just a few days ago, when they had just finished moving most of the boxes, he finally had a breakthrough.
All this time, he only regarded Vibranium as an indestructible material used to make handsome battle suits. But he never thought about its applications in other fields. Until he recalled the memory of the Black Panther movie he saw in Mind Stone, everything changed.
He clearly remembered the scene in that movie. Vibranium has an extremely wide range of applications and can even be used to strengthen plants, animals, and even humans. This metal can absorb and distribute energy in a unique way that he can barely understand.
Because of this, Peter devoted half of the laboratory area to unraveling the mystery of Vibranium and its unique ingredients. Among the hundreds of cans of Vibranium on hand, he has used five cans so far. And the experimental results of these five cans... It can only be said that things are starting to become a little strange.
Vibranium reacts with all surrounding materials as if it were a metal tailor-made for him. It can adapt to any situation and is indeed the most versatile element in the world.
He has only begun to explore its endless possibilities.
As for other projects in his mind, they are also progressing steadily, among which the research on Mind Stone and the practice of secret techniques are the most critical. But at this moment, these have to be postponed for a while.
As for that small bottle of blood Franklin·Richards...
"Sassy," Peter quickly tapped the keyboard in front of the terminal, calling up his medical files and gene extraction tools, "Help me test the toxin levels in my body."
He picked up a small syringe, took a drop of his own blood and put it into the instrument.
"Your blood has returned to normal, Peter. The toxin residue is exactly 0.002%. If you plan to perform 'Mutant Spider Project' again, I think now is the best time."
Peter groaned and bit his head in agreement. "Okay... I understand..."
However, if he was going to make such a dangerous attempt, he thought it would be better to tell Qin and Felicia first, otherwise they would definitely skin him alive.
Since this matter will be postponed for a while, Peter decided to return to Vibranium's research first.
Although this material Vibranium is rare, it is very convenient to use. Peter already knows that integrating Vibranium into the soil can act like a fertilizer. He also knows that although Wakanda is highly technologically advanced, the land is extremely fertile, which is a paradox in itself.
Therefore, he speculated that the Wakanda people must have mastered some method of using Vibranium to promote the reproduction of life, and this was exactly what he wanted to find out.
Yesterday, Peter mixed Vibranium with the growth-promoting serum he developed and processed it into a cake-shaped material that is easier to use. He recently bought some empty flower pots and placed them in an incubator in the corner of the laboratory. He buried the mixture in the soil, covered it with soil, and sowed the seeds.
Peter walked to the incubator and opened the door, only to see green sprouts sprouting from the soil. He carefully moved the flowerpot to the biological analysis table and conducted a thorough test. This is definitely a major breakthrough in the fields of medicine and biotechnology.
Even better, it decays at the same rate as any radioactive element, giving it a half-life of hundreds of years, according to his calculations.
However, when Peter scanned the Vibranium mixture, something strange was discovered. A strange secondary interference appeared in the system. But this was unreasonable. The only active untreated Vibranium in this room was in his storage bag. Other than that, the only possibility was... Mind Stone.
He put this matter on hold for a while, but since the Franklin blood sample plan had to be postponed, he thought he might as well try another plan in his mind.
Peter turned and walked towards the other half of the laboratory, which was built specifically to study Mind Stone. The gem was currently locked in a Vibranium box, suspended in an energy field. Now, even if the box breaks, the gem will remain in a stable and stationary state, although very weak radiation will occasionally leak out. This radiation is almost imperceptible unless you know exactly what you are looking for.
Peter began to study this gem, trying to find a way to activate and use it. However, it was as stubborn as before and failed to allow him to make any substantial progress.
Peter sighed and leaned back on the chair. He stared at the shimmering stone in front of him, thoughtfully. The weak radiation it released was actually very strong, but if the Vibranium box was used to guide it... as a Infinity Stones, its energy would be endless.
A brilliant, unbelievable idea suddenly flashed in Peter's mind. Why hadn't he thought of it earlier?
He must protect this gem. He made an oath to his future children and his future self. In this case, what better way to protect it than to keep the gem with him at all times?
"Sassy, new project," Peter quickly walked to an empty table, called out a few magnetrons, released the energy field around the Vibranium lock box, and took out Mind Stone, "Named it: Badassium-Vibranium-Mind Stone Core."
"Understood, sir. What do you need me to do?" the AI asked.
"I want you to simulate the precise calculations required to run the system," Peter replied, putting the gem back into suspension, and then walked quickly towards the door, locking the laboratory door behind him. "I was thinking that Vibranium has unparalleled durability, and the Badassium core tends to overheat the shell that houses it. So, what is one plus one equal to, Sassy?"
"Infinite, sir." the AI replied.
Peter A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he quickly ran back to his room, "That's right."
He opened the closet, grabbed a pair of loose sweatpants and put them on, and then hurried out again.
"Hey, what are you anxious about?" Felicia lazily turned over on the sofa and asked curiously.
"A flash of inspiration, baby!" Peter shouted without looking back and rushed downstairs. He knew that Felicia and Wanda must be rolling their eyes at his weird behavior now.
Peter locked himself in the laboratory again. He took off his shirt, walked to the operating table, laid the artificial suit flat on the table, and unlocked the central energy core. To be honest, this core gave him a headache before.
But now, he has more creative inspirations - such as the single shell of Iron Man in "Infinity War" that can accommodate all nanorobots. In the past, in order to prevent himself from becoming a shining target, he had to adopt a simpler design, but if he wanted to use Infinity Stones to charge the suit, he could not make any compromises on the core.
He began to work on it. A new power core of the suit gradually took shape, completely made of Vibranium and Badassium. The energy output was very stable, but it was not perfect yet. When a stable disc-shaped core was completed, Peter began the next step.
He picked up Mind Stone and embedded it in the center of Arc Reactor. The unique yellow light of the gem instantly spread to the entire system. Peter watched as the original iconic blue light gradually transformed, and finally turned into a dazzling golden color like the morning sun.
Then, he started to modify other parts of the suit. It was a little difficult at first. After all, he incorporated a lot of Magic and technology into the suit, and it was very laborious to disassemble. But he still got it done. Now, it's the final stage.
