Chapter 546 Hogwarts Express
Outside the timeline.
The House of Mystery, the supervisor's headquarters.
In the scientific research hall, Tony Stark and Reed Richards, who had returned from vacation, were making final adjustments to the dimensional travel device.
"Zhang Yi, it's true. I haven't had a good rest during this period. I finally had some time off and arranged such a troublesome task."
Tony Stark checked the readings on the panel, tapping his fingers on the keyboard, and followed Reed Richards behind him without looking back.
"This is a dimensional travel device. Zhang Yi asked us to make this thing. It must have an important role. In order to better ensure the safety of the wasteland universe, it is necessary for us to do all this work." Reed Richards said. road.
Tony Stark couldn't help but curl his lips in response. "Unlike you, I just went back to spend time with my children on vacation. I have been in this house for I don't know how long. It feels like centuries have passed."
"If you are really bored, maybe you can go to the wasteland universe once in a while to take a look." Reed Richards made a suggestion.
"I'm not going. I can't interact with people. I can only watch others from a distance. What's the point of that?"
Tony Stark waved his hand, but Reed Richards' words gave him a good inspiration. After a pause, Tony continued.
"By the way, don't Carla and Pietro have a mission to go to other universes? I think I can give it a try. I believe they will not refuse my help."
Hearing this, both Reed Richards and Susan stopped what they were doing.
The two looked at each other and immediately looked in the direction of Tony Stark.
"Tony, it is very dangerous to dismantle other multiverses without authorization. Don't forget, our job is to ensure the safety of the wasteland and prevent it from being invaded by enemies from other universes."
"I know, but I'm not an enemy. Besides, that universe is very safe." Tony Stark crossed his arms. "Don't think I haven't asked about it. That kid Pietro has been to that universe."
"I still find it troublesome to rashly get involved in that kind of thing. If you are really bored and want to go out for a walk, then I suggest you follow Zhang Yi to explore other lost dimensions hidden near the wasteland universe." Reed thought about it. Want to say.
"Lost Dimension?" Tony Stark was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, what Zhang Yi asked us to build is a dimension traveling device, isn't it? The purpose of this thing is to shuttle through the turbulent flow of space. I guess Zhang Yi's goal is to retrieve those exiled dimensions." Reed replied.
Susan next to her also nodded and added. "Tony, you are not from this universe, so you don't understand. The war in the past destroyed many things, including the connection between the real dimension and other dimensions."
"Who says I don't understand? I always watch the replay of that battle as a sleep story." Tony Stark retorted, then he thought for a moment and then spoke again. "But let's forget about following Zhang Yi through dimensions."
"Why?" Reid was a little curious.
"It's not like you don't understand Zhang Yi. It's too dangerous to take risks with him. I'm still having those scary nightmares. For the sake of my physical and mental health, I think it's better for me to try my luck with Kara."
As if thinking of some bad memories, Tony Stark shivered while looking at Reed and Susan not far away, and sighed repeatedly.
God knows that after experiencing that incident, I had so much courage to work with Reed and Susan.
Although he knew that the two people in front of him were different from the zombie versions of his own universe, Tony would sometimes subconsciously avoid being alone in a room with the couple.
If it hadn't been for a heavier task this time and everyone else in the House of Mystery having their own jobs, Tony would never have come here.
Of course, he still had a backup plan. For example, Reed Richards and Susan didn't know that Tony had opened seven secret passages in the laboratory.
"You're right to say that." Reed pursed his lips and agreed.
Zhang Ye's adventure is indeed a fantastic feat. Before meeting Zhang Ye, several people present had never imagined that there would be so many complex, crazy and desperate universes in this world.
Like Tony Stark, Reed Richards will never forget the time he was infected into a zombie. The video scam that spanned parallel universes left a very deep impression on him.
"So, I'd better ask Kara how the situation is over there. I heard that their mission is to conduct cross-universe trade. I believe that as the top leader of Stark Industries, I still don't care about this kind of pediatric work. Competent."
Tony Stark puffed up his chest and said confidently.
"I see, you are just curious about the difference between that universe and ours." Susan smiled and shook her head, then said. "Get to work, we don't have much time."
"Please, we are outside time now, how can we not have time"
Although Tony Stark said this, his movements were not slow. He quickly arrived in front of the locomotive and began to check the energy parameters on it.
Based on information and some inspiration from Shazam, everyone finally decided to make the shape of the dimension traveling device look like a train.
At first, Tony Stark wanted to build an aircraft carrier or a fighter plane, but it would take a long time to build that kind of thing, and if it was too big, it would easily encounter greater resistance in the turbulence of space.
Therefore, the design of the pirate ship was rejected by Susan and the rigorous Reed Richards, which made Tony Stark very depressed at the time.
Looking at the two-meter-high locomotive, Tony Stark carefully checked the parameters and couldn't help but speak.
"If you ask me, this train might as well be replaced by a phone booth."
"We have talked about the appearance design of the device before, Tony." Reed Richards focused on the work at hand. "I know that rejecting your design will make you very angry, but you have to understand that this is Zhang Yi's request after all."
"Zhang Yi just reminded us that there was a train in the original traveling device used by Shazam, and he didn't say that we must build a train. According to what you said, there is an arbitrary door in the Rock of Eternity. Do we need to build a door by the way? ?" Tony rolled his eyes.
"The design concept of the portal is different from that of the dimensional travel device. Strictly speaking, it is a product of magic. What we have to do now is to use rigorous science to prevent being trapped in a different space when the space collapses." Reed. Said seriously.
"But I still think this locomotive has no imagination at all." Tony stroked his beard.
"But it's definitely the most suitable one for us."
Reed Richards' head stretched out to Tony Stark's side, but his body remained in place.
"As long as we successfully develop the dimensional travel locomotive, we can connect the carriage to the back at will, install it when in use, take it off when not in use, and switch freely."
Although he knew that Reed Richards was right, Tony Stark was still obsessed with his Galactic Battleship.
"Okay, I know you're a little disappointed. Otherwise, how about I ask you to name this device?" Reed suddenly said.
"Really?" Tony Stark raised his eyebrows.
The naming rights of a product are sometimes the same as the authorship rights. This is very important to them as scientific researchers. Even though they no longer value this, Tony is still very proud of being able to name this thing. Interested.
Reed said it didn't matter.
"Really, as long as you don't come up with some weird names."
"Then I decided to call it the Hogwarts Express, how about it?" Without the slightest hesitation, Tony Stark gave his answer.
"Yeah, it's a very strange name. Does it have any special meaning?" Reid was stunned for a moment and commented seriously.
"Are you kidding me? You don't know this name?" Tony Stark was shocked.
"Sorry, he's just a nerd." Susan shook her head, and then explained to her husband. "The Hogwarts Express is the wizard train in Harry Potter. You even watched that movie with me, have you forgotten?"
"It seems a bit impressive." Reid opened his mouth. "But why can't I remember."
"That might be because you fell asleep in the cinema when Harry Potter first received the letter." Susan said speechlessly.
"Well"
After being glanced at by his wife, Reid retracted his neck in embarrassment. He immediately picked up the circuit board in his hand and changed the subject.
"It's finally completed. As long as the final space radar is installed, my brother's monkey express can start!"
"It's the Hogwarts Express." Tony held his forehead.
But Reed Richards acted as if he didn't hear it. He stretched out his body and quickly came to the bottom of the front car of the locomotive and began to install this weird device.
Acting in space turbulence is a very dangerous thing for anyone. After all, space and time are different. Time turbulence will only send people to an unknown timeline, but space turbulence will crush people. Broken down.
In order to get this chocolate box-sized device in his hand, Reed Richards spent a long time and energy. When he was developing this device, Tony Stark even installed an air conditioning system and home theater on the train. .
Just as Reed Richards was doing the final installation work, the door to the laboratory was suddenly opened.
Zhang Yi, whose face was slightly pale, walked in slowly.
"I'm not interrupting your work, right? I want to know what's the progress of the dimension traveling device now?"
