Chapter 42

With a "beep," the electronic chip at the top of the electronic spine lit up with a soft blue light, indicating that the metal claws had been officially activated and were now tightly connected to Dr. Otto's nerves.

Dr. Otto's expression twitched from the intense pain, so visibly that even the onlookers seemed to feel the agony of the electronic nerves piercing into the spine.

The metal claws, operated by biological signals from Dr. Otto's central nervous system, slowly began to move. The three-pronged metal claws, resembling a demon ready to devour, waved in front of the crowd. Fortunately, this demon was still under control. Dr. Otto spread his hands, and the claws began to dance according to his will, like a magician at the end of the world, both wondrous and eerie.

"My brain controls these artificially intelligent mechanical arms through a neural connection. The nano-neural wires directly transmit command signals, allowing me to use the mechanical arms even in extremely dangerous environments to control the nuclear fusion reaction process..."

He slowly descended from the podium, and the metal claws emitted a dark red light, not like the electronic lights of a machine but more like the gaze of a demon from hell.

The demon was awakening from hell.

"Dr. Otto, with such advanced artificial intelligence, aren't you worried that the mechanical arms might control you instead?" A female executive from Osborn Enterprises flipped through the documents in her hand and asked.

Dr. Otto's face broke into a confident smile: "Good question."

He turned around to better expose his back to the crowd. The electronic chip on the back of his neck was flashing blue, indicating normal operation: "So I developed an inhibitory chip to protect my brain functions. This allows me to control the mechanical arms, rather than being controlled by them."

Dr. Otto's gaze focused on Peter's face. In their mutual eye contact, two emerald green ghost fires flickered, revealing the intangible and resentful ghost of Ymir.

Dr. Otto was forcibly diverted from his gaze. When he regained his composure, the reaction controlled by the metal claws behind him became more pronounced.

He extended his hand to introduce the equipment behind him: "Now, the main event begins."

Under Mrs. Rose's direction, the staff pushed away the computer used for operation, revealing a sci-fi demon altar. The crowd behind them screamed in shock, not expecting such a thing to appear.

This was not the nuclear fusion machine Dr. Otto remembered developing, but he ignored it and walked to the altar as usual, introducing it: "The key is the rare tritium element, of which there is less than 25 pounds on the entire Earth. I must thank Mr. Harry Osborn for his generous and substantial support."

The laboratory, which was originally well-lit, had completely changed. The metal surfaces reflected light, making it cold and pale, like a morgue.

The demon altar did not look like something designed by a scientist but rather like a medieval wizard's summoning circle. Dark red, viscous liquid continuously gushed from the cracks in the altar.

It slowly spread from the altar, gradually reaching the feet of the onlookers. The crowd seemed to have lost their senses, no longer as lively as before.

Harry stiffly strained his voice, following the script: "Dr. Otto, I am happy to pay for you..."

The world was being eroded by the red liquid, turning everything into a bloody red. Only two people retained their original colors: Dr. Otto, who was facing away from the crowd, and Mrs. Rose, who stood to the side.

Peter had already disappeared from the crowd, vanishing from this space...

The professional name for tritium is Tritium, also known as super-heavy hydrogen, one of the isotopes of hydrogen, with the element symbol T or 3H.

In the natural world on Earth, tritium is extremely rare compared to ordinary hydrogen. Tritium is produced when high-energy neutrons from cosmic rays hit deuterium nuclei, which then combine with neutrons to form tritium nuclei. Like deuterium, tritium is a raw material for nuclear weapons.

Mrs. Rose walked to Dr. Otto's side, holding his multifunctional sunglasses. Dr. Otto turned around, harboring his feelings for her in his heart.

Being able to recover from the cold experiences of his childhood was thanks to this gentle and kind wife. Although Dr. Otto never said it, he deeply respected and loved his wife!

Mrs. Rose looked even more excited than Dr. Otto. She pressed her lips, suppressing her nervousness, handed the sunglasses to Dr. Otto, and stepped aside.

"Ladies and gentlemen," Dr. Otto put on the multifunctional sunglasses, and the metal claws waved. He said in a heavy voice, "Please fasten your seatbelts!"

Red light illuminated the altar. As soon as Dr. Otto gave the command to start the experiment, a cold wind seemed to penetrate his mind from his feet. He could faintly hear a dark and resentful laugh: "Ha ha ha, fear has arrived..."

The red beam struck the tritium element, which suddenly became active, releasing immense energy. The tritium element burned fiercely due to the thermonuclear fusion occurring within, releasing a large amount of atomic energy and forming radiation pressure.

Hydrogen burned rapidly, forming a helium core that continuously grew. Over time, the hydrogen around the helium core decreased. The temperature of the tritium fireball gradually decreased, entering a controllable stage, and the light became increasingly dark red.

"Has the nuclear fusion reaction succeeded?" Dr. Otto's face showed joy.

However, before he could clearly see the beautiful and spectacular dark red fireball, the tritium element, which should have been sealed within the energy shield, mysteriously stirred up a strong wind.

A powerful magnetic field accompanied the hurricane, attracting the laboratory equipment and slowly pulling them toward the fireball.

Dr. Otto seemed unaware, trying to use the metal claws to suppress the light halo emitted by the fireball. The feeling of power made him lose himself: "The energy of the sun is in my palm..."

The iron plates on the laboratory walls were also attracted by the strong magnetic field, and the metal items on the onlookers flew up. This was clearly beyond the scope of the experiment, and Mrs. Rose became anxious, shouting: "Ladies and gentlemen, please leave quickly!"
