Marvel: Spider-Man? No, I'm Superman!

"According to him, the huge crater that suddenly appeared on the moon was not caused by a meteorite impact, but rather..."

Jingle Bell……

As the school bell rang, the classroom gradually quieted down, and a teacher walked into the classroom.

"Today, in our first ideological education class, we won't talk about the somewhat clichéd Captain America spirit, but rather about the superhuman spirit of selfless dedication to humanity in the face of monsters!"

In the first few days of the new semester, the school will, as usual, have a class on ideological education.

Peter never expected that the course, which was usually about Captain America, would turn into a presentation about himself.

"Okay, it's interesting that I have to believe in myself."

……

Peter, who had been resting with his eyes closed, finally got home after school.

After waiting until late at night, when Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei had both gone to bed.

He leaped out of the window, instantly accelerating through the air and flying towards the Antarctic "research base".

Peter soon arrived in Antarctica.

Boom.

With one hand, Peter lifted the heavy iron gate above the base and flew inside.

After casually putting the food, water, daily necessities, and some essential experimental equipment that I had brought into the storage room.

Peter walked toward the research lab.

"Great, we finally succeeded!"

Upon arriving at the nanotechnology research lab, Peter heard a burst of excited exclamations coming from inside.

Stepping quickly into the laboratory, Peter's eyes immediately fell upon a peculiar substance in a transparent glass container, which was jet black and resembled a pool of viscous liquid.

It was wriggling inside the container.

At this moment, almost all the researchers in the entire base are in the laboratory.

Watching the nano-metal particles in the glass container wriggle, twist, transform, and combine in response to the corresponding operations of the tablet controller in Reed's hand, an expression of immense excitement appeared on his face.

Because they all knew that the current situation indicated that their research direction was not wrong.

This also means they are one step closer to leaving this damn place.

"Hehe, our Mr. Superman has arrived at just the right time."

Tony, who was sitting on the sofa, was the first to spot Peter walking into the lab.

“Mr. Superman, could you bring us some better red wine next time? Something like the kind in my villa’s wine cabinet will do. I just can’t get used to your cheap red wine.”

Sitting on the sofa with a glass of red wine in his hand, Tony looked at Peter with some anticipation and made his request.

In fact, apart from losing their freedom, their lives here are not much different from those on vacation.

After a period of preparation, the environment here is much better than it was at the beginning.

Moreover, Tony had a good grasp of Peter's personality. As long as the research could proceed normally, Peter would generally meet any conditions they proposed, as long as they weren't too unreasonable.

Peter glanced casually at Tony on the sofa, then walked up to Reed without hesitation and asked slowly, "I just heard you guys seem to have succeeded?"

"That's right. Based on Dr. Zhao's concept of a cradle of regeneration and Princess Su Rui's research data on nanomaterials, we have successfully created nanoparticles that can be manipulated by humans."

"However, it can only be considered a preliminary success."

When Reed saw Peter this time, he was no longer as afraid as before.

Moreover, when talking about his research findings, Reed's eyes revealed a hint of excitement.

For these scientists, nothing is more exciting than a successful experiment.

“Mr. Superman, please look…”

As he spoke, Reed gestured to Peter with his fingers toward the nanoparticles in the glass container.

He then began operating the controller in his hand again.

The next moment, to Peter's astonishment, the nanoparticles in the container, which looked like a mass of liquid, suddenly began to wriggle and twist rapidly.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, it slowly solidified into a jet-black dagger.

Moreover, the blades on both sides gleamed with a sharp, cold light, seemingly even sharper than the forged dagger.

However, under scrutiny, the dagger's form lasted for less than three seconds before shattering and reverting to its previous liquid-like appearance.

"Is it because...the energy they possess is insufficient to sustain them in this form?"

Although the super brain has not yet fully awakened, Peter instantly saw the real problem that caused this situation.

"That's right, it's an energy issue."

Reed was also surprised that Peter was able to see the crux of the problem.

“Unlike ordinary biological nanorobots, the nanosuits you need require more powerful energy to maintain the fixed structure between nanoparticles; otherwise, the nanoparticles will collapse at the slightest touch, just like before.”

"Unless we can find a special material that contains a lot of energy to make nanoparticles, unfortunately such a material hardly exists on Earth."

"Of course, according to our vision, as long as there is a small portable energy storage device that can continuously provide energy, it can also solve the problem we are facing now."

"However, our team responsible for energy doesn't seem to have made much progress so far."

As he spoke, Reed glanced at Tony, who was comfortably sipping cheap red wine on the sofa. Tony was the head of the energy team here.

……

Chapter 33 The energy of the sun is in my hands!

“I’m sorry, Mr. Superman, but in order to solve the energy problem, we have tried a variety of energy storage batteries, and even envisioned using future battery technologies that are not yet perfect.”

"Unfortunately, none of these batteries can serve as the power source for the suit. Only nuclear batteries may be sufficient to support the enormous energy consumption of the nanosuit."

"Unfortunately, we humans have not yet mastered the technology to miniaturize nuclear batteries."

"That is the key to unlocking humanity's future, and the dream of every energy scientist..."

Facing Peter's gaze, Dr. Selvig, who was also in the energy research team, carefully explained to Peter, afraid that the superman in front of him would be angry with them for their slow progress.

However, Peter remained remarkably calm in the face of Dr. Selvig's explanation, seemingly neither angry nor saying anything.

Instead, he turned his gaze to Tony, who was engrossed in drinking red wine on the sofa, and asked, "Mr. Stark, don't you have any proposals to put forward?"

Upon hearing Peter's question, Tony finally put down his wine glass, stood up from the sofa, and slowly walked towards Peter.

“Okay, Mr. Superman, I understand you’re in a hurry, but scientific development requires a gradual approach, and energy has always been a crucial science that limits the speed of human development.”

"Unless a peerless genius like Newton, Einstein, or Da Vinci emerges who can lead humanity's technological advancement, humanity must follow the inherent laws of development."

"If the key to the future were so easy to obtain, it wouldn't be called the key to the future..."

Tony, who was a head shorter than Peter, could only look up at Peter to make eye contact.

"So, you, who consider yourself the most brilliant scientist in human history, don't have a better solution?"

Peter remained perfectly calm as he met Tony's gaze.

"No, I actually have a pretty good plan."

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Tony's face. He glanced at Peter and continued speaking.

"They say that you were able to absorb the sun's energy and integrate it into yourself, which is why you have such powerful abilities."

"So, you yourself are actually an energy source more powerful than any other energy source..."

Tony stopped there.

However, everyone present, including Peter, knew that the so-called solution he was proposing was nothing more than having Peter himself act as a "power bank" for the suit.

"Tony, you..."

The moment Tony finished speaking, everyone present held their breath, their expressions incredibly tense.

This plan had been proposed by someone before, but it was unanimously rejected by everyone without a doubt.

The reason is very simple.

"If I can handle this myself, what do I need you for?"

Seeing that Peter's eyes were starting to turn red, Reed hurriedly stepped between the two.

Turning to Peter with a cautious plea, he said, "Mr. Superman, please give us some more time. We're sure we can come up with a solution to the energy problem."

"Alright, then I'll give you some more time."

The red light in his eyes faded, and after leaving those words, Peter turned and left.

"I almost forgot to tell you, the food I brought this time can last you for three days."

"However, I'll be a bit busy next week and probably won't have time to deliver supplies to you. I hope you'll eat sparingly and get through this week."

Peter, walking out of the lab, suddenly uttered those words without turning his head.

"Only a week, isn't that too short..."

Those present were all intelligent people, and they naturally understood Peter's threat: a week was their deadline for resolving the energy problem.

In an instant, everyone's expression turned extremely ugly.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. I came in a hurry today and didn't bring any fuel for power generation, so if you use it sparingly, it should... be able to support the operation of the entire base for about three or four days."

"It's a pity I don't have your brilliant minds, otherwise I could have calculated the time more accurately. But you are very smart, and I believe you will definitely be able to find a solution, right?"

Peter suddenly turned to look at everyone and said with a regretful tone.

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Three days? How is that even possible..."

Upon hearing this, the already grim expressions on the faces of everyone present instantly turned even more bitter.

The energy problem has plagued human civilization for decades, and now they only have three days to solve it.

As Peter's figure was about to disappear down the corridor, he looked around at his fellow inmates, whom he had worked with for several days and who, while not exactly friends, were already quite familiar with.

Tony, whose face was initially full of hesitation, finally made his decision.
