Chapter 243 Director Cissell's Vigilance
Whether it's S.H.I.E.L.D., Global Defense Agency, or whatever other agency it is, Joey honestly doesn't care what they're called, since they all end up doing pretty much the same thing anyway.
Not causing trouble is already the highest praise Joey can give them.
Just treat this Ciseljoy in front of you as an alternate version of Nick Fury, or even worse.
The approach to him was consistent with Joey's approach to S.H.I.E.L.D.: to give him the cold shoulder.
"Joey Joseph Kent, Superman."
For most superheroes, their real name and hero identity are always separate, but for Joey now, that's completely unnecessary.
"Before you ask me 'Is there anything I can help you with?'"
Joey, who openly revealed her real name, pointed towards the outside:
"The people who really need help are over there, just a block away."
After leaving the Global Defense Agency personnel with this mess in the room, Joey left without looking back.
"Don't bother me, I have no interest in your world."
The difficulties encountered by the invincible young hero are nothing but trivial matters to Superman.
Now that everything is settled, Joey has to go back immediately. Even without considering the large group of Kryptonians, Ultron from another universe won't just sit idly by.
So, besides commonly used raw materials like gold, platinum, and chromium, the only relatively difficult-to-obtain material to repair the interdimensional machine is "vibranium?!"
At this moment, Joey is "constructing" in a lifeless star system.
Specifically, this involves pushing massive celestial bodies that are easy to drag, such as gas giants, into the white dwarf at the center of a star system that is already nearing its critical point, proceeding cautiously while also offering some constructive criticism:
"Why would you need vibranium to fix that piece of junk?!"
The star in this star system is very lucky. It may have maintained its mass at a level that would not explode since the birth of the universe, and has existed stably as a white dwarf for trillions of years.
Unfortunately, it was unlucky to run into Joey, a Superman who was trying to artificially trigger a supernova.
As this gas giant planet, borrowed from a nearby galaxy, merged into the white dwarf, the latter's mass finally reached the maximum value constrained by the Chandrasekhar limit. Its core elemental composition was crushed by the white dwarf's own mass, and it began to cohede and explode.
In the blink of an eye, the star turned to dust, and a supernova explosion occurred.
Trillions of matter and heat were ejected into the depths of space from the white dwarf star, which was just now, in a cosmic-scale thermonuclear explosion.
Driven by the shockwave of the explosion to a distance several light-minutes away, Joey survived the first impact and hurriedly flew towards the core of the supernova explosion.
Supernova explosions are essentially natural furnaces in the universe, forging factories that reshape the elements of matter. Most heavy elements in celestial bodies are born in this process, such as gold.
Joey just wanted to test whether such an explosion could produce the kind of metal he wanted—vibranium.
Unfortunately, the result was not what he expected. Beyond the rapidly expanding gas cloud, the galactic core contained nothing but some common heavy metals, consistent with the results he had found around other formed supernovae.
"There is only gold, no vibranium."
While this action may seem cool, it actually resembles primitive people striking stones to make fire.
Whether a single spark from a tap can ignite a raging fire depends on luck.
It's also possible that the universe doesn't support a reaction like "flint".
There are always subtle differences in various physical constants between different universes; these differences, which may seem to be a dozen or so decimal places, add up to each other.
The resulting difference would certainly be astronomical.
This supernova explosion would last a very long time on a cosmic scale, but it has already fulfilled its purpose in Joy's case. Vibranium probably doesn't exist in this universe, nor could it be generated in this way.
Moreover, Yang Yi didn't have a second chance to conduct the experiment.
Finding a suitable white dwarf star in the universe, surrounded by thousands of light-years of uninhabited territory, is an extremely demanding requirement; such a finding is currently a matter of luck.
After flying out of the area with chaotic cosmic radiation, the drone restarted, and its built-in "Friday" launched into a tirade against Joey:
"That's way too reckless! You're insane! What if you burn me out?! I've already told you, it's not impossible to build it without vibranium!"
"Can't you just shut up and save some computing power? I have a bio-force field that's even more reliable than vibranium!"
Furious at failing to obtain vibranium, Joey flew out of the galaxy where the supernova had just been born, cursing and swearing.
"That damn Tony Stark only knows how to slack off when building things!"
When Joey gave Tony a large piece of vibranium, Tony developed a certain degree of path dependence due to its excellent physical properties.
So when he wanted to manufacture some high-precision equipment, due to time constraints, he would temporarily abandon the development of new materials from scratch for key parts that required high-performance materials, and instead use various vibranium alloys as substitutes.
This is the case with the drone that was rushed out in a short period of time. Finding replacements for some of its components will probably take some effort.
Unlike Batman, whose mind is full of calculations, or Iron Man, whose thinking is as natural as drinking water, using one's brain has never been an easy task for Joey.
At this moment, Joey really wanted to say something in Tibetan that started with F and ended with K, because he realized that he seemed to have been slapped in the face by the boomerang again.
He had previously told Spider-Man that instead of figuring out the Three-Body Problem, it would be easier to simply extinguish a few stars and turn the Three-Body Problem into a Two-Body Problem or a One-Body Problem.
Since extinguishing the star is not an option right now, we have no choice but to start calculating directly.
Doing all this takes time, and Joey has no idea whether he has any time left.
However, Friday offered a more compromise solution:
"The time anchoring part is difficult to repair, but you can choose to partially repair the transmitter first and send a message to the universe where the transmitting antenna was left behind, as a relay."
After careful consideration, Joey realized that the AI wasn't just spouting nonsense under low computing power, and this method might be the fastest way.
If there are enough resources, it might only take one or two weeks?
What was the point of spending these past few weeks playing with white dwarfs at the edge of the universe?!
While he was pondering, Joey, having wasted his time, had already flown from the desolate edge of the universe to the equally desolate solar system.
Although he had always wanted to complain about why crises always seemed to occur on this dilapidated star system on the third arm of the Milky Way, upon closer reflection, he realized that stories of big fish eating small fish happen every day in every corner of the universe, and other star systems are not exactly safe havens either; otherwise, the little blue people wouldn't have formed the Green Lantern Corps.
At least the Earth in the universe where Invincible Young Hero is located is considered quite safe, right?
Upon returning to Earth, Joey glanced around and found that this Earth was indeed a peaceful and tranquil place—what a fart!
Why does the Earth's tectonic plate move so frequently?
Such unusual seismic waves reminded Joey of the doomsday weapon created by the dim-witted Aquaman. Although its power was far less than the latter, this was clearly abnormal.
For this reason, Joey even went to the local leader, Director Cissell, to inquire.
"You surprised me with your generous gift of crab."
In the Global Defense Agency's control room, Cisel was startled when he saw Yang Yi appear behind him as if teleported in an instant.
Faced with Joey's question, his first words were: "How the hell did you get in here?!"
"I told the doorman I was there to do an interview, and he let me in."
Joey, who was no longer wearing glasses, had changed into casual clothes and waved the press pass he had just made at Cecil.
"Why did you build your headquarters underground at the Pentagon? Is it so the enemy can wipe you out in one fell swoop?"
The theory of a makeshift team is applicable in every universe. Joey just casually mentioned the name of the head of an internal department of the Pentagon, and the security guards outside didn't do any verification at all and let him in on the spot.
Even without his glasses and a new outfit, Joey is still quite recognizable; at least Cecilia can tell him.
"This is none of your business."
Cecil was well aware of the abnormal seismic waves, and he even knew who was most likely to cause them. But what did that have to do with the alien visitors in front of him?
Mark had previously told Cecilia what kind of hero "Superman" was, what "hope" was, what "truth" and "justice" were, and what "a better tomorrow" was.
Having just gone through the All-Round Man incident, if Cissell were to easily believe this kind of nonsense again, he might as well just rip his head off and let people kick it around like a football.
A superhero in a red cape, with a letter on his chest, descends upon Earth to fight the wicked and maintain peace.
This sounds wonderful, but let's forget about it:
"The same goes for seismic waves. This has nothing to do with you. Don't always worry unnecessarily. Maybe it's just because those energy giants have over-exploited shale oil."
