Marvel: The Superman Survival Guide

Chapter 119 Space Headquarters Design

Link reassured Osborn, then said, "Let's set a time to go to his lab!"

"Okay!" Osborne turned and left.

Link continued his research on the space station, which, while called a space station, should actually be a base, and its construction could not follow the traditional methods of building a space station.

It must be a large space station that can be used for long-term living, which means it will require a lot of energy.

Stark's electromagnetic arc reactor is unsuitable, as it can only power a building for a year. Now that nuclear fusion technology has suddenly emerged, is there no need to worry about the duration of energy supply?

Therefore, building something huge is not a problem at all, but what materials will be used around this nuclear fusion reactor?

Link then thought of vibranium. Wakanda was a must-go destination, but the one at the bottom of the sea was something he could ignore for the time being.

Traditional space stations are developed according to the payload capacity of rockets, and their cylindrical shape is also designed to facilitate rocket launch and carrying.

With the Avengers, there's no need for that anymore. Wearing Stark's space-grade Iron Man suit, one can easily carry out space operations, since it has sufficient power.

Isn't it simple to build materials or individual boxes on the ground and then assemble them on the ground?

Finally, with the addition of a gravity system, an air circulation system, and so on, it becomes a complete space station.

Alternatively, it could also be built on the moon, but the lunar terrain is constantly changing and would be greatly affected. However, if helium-3 is used as a raw material for nuclear fusion, the energy supply would not need to be transported from Earth.

Just as Link was deep in thought, Stark sent him a design drawing.

"Lin, this is the space headquarters I designed. What do you think?" Stark said smugly.

Link looked at it and said, "Tony, not bad design."

Link was very satisfied because Stark's design was characterized by its grandeur: a huge circular central hub, with long, narrow buildings extending in eight directions, the ends of which could serve as airports.

The overall design is fine; it just needs some polishing of the details.

"By the way, I have a new idea about energy. The Osborne Group is going to fund a PhD who is researching nuclear fusion."

"If it succeeds, we can use it at headquarters, so we won't have to worry about energy, and the supply of defensive weapons will be no problem at all."

"I'm preparing to use the energy shield and energy cannon!"

Stark paused, then asked, "Is it reliable?"

Is controlled nuclear fusion really possible?

Link said, "I'll go take a look. Once it's successful, it can be used perfectly, but the surrounding defenses need to be carefully constructed."

Is vibranium the best choice?

"Vibranium?" Stark was taken aback. "You know about vibranium?"

"That's my battle suit, didn't you notice?" Link asked with a smile.

"Really? How did you get that?" Stark asked, slightly surprised.

"I killed Ulysses Klaue and got his stored vibranium. I also found out where else there is vibranium." Link was providing the information about vibranium now in preparation for his trip to Wakanda.

Stark immediately asked, "Where can I find any more?"

"Wakanda!" Link said. "On the surface, they are an extremely backward agricultural country, but their secret technological development has surpassed that of any other country on Earth."

"They hid it very well, immediately developing technology based on vibranium, but I don't know the specifics. You can't completely trust what Ulysses Klaue says, but the source of vibranium should be there."

"Unbelievable!" Stark exclaimed, genuinely incredulous. "Let's go see for ourselves!"

"That's exactly what I was thinking. They don't participate in the political and military struggles on Earth, which I suppose is for their own reasons, but they might still be interested in participating in Earth's defense plan," Link said. "We can talk about it then."

"Alright, I'll continue refining the design of the space headquarters. You handle the energy issues. If you have any questions, you can contact me or Bruce." Stark hung up the call.

Link turned to look at his design and immediately cancelled it.

Stark was still bothered by the fact that the spaceship's design used a copy of the Minerva, though he assumed it was designed by the Osborn Group.

He had his doubts, but he still trusted Link.

Now that he's presented the design for the space headquarters so quickly, he's trying to outdo Stark. Link knows exactly what Stark is thinking, so he simply decides not to compete.

Why would he care about such a small matter? The materials used in the design alone are extremely expensive space materials. The entire space uses a lot of transparent glass, which is an extremely expensive space material, and there is also an outer protective plate.

It's important to know that there is no atmosphere to block out ultraviolet rays in space, which is why the space station has no windows. This is to prevent ultraviolet radiation and maintain the temperature, among other things.

Now that there are windows, opening and closing them is extremely costly, and Stark doesn't care about using them at all, so the interior must also be incredibly luxurious.

Therefore, Link was too lazy to argue about anything; as long as he was comfortable in his living situation, that was enough.

……

A few days later, Norman Osborn invited Link to go to Dr. Otto Gunther Octavius's laboratory.

"Otto, this is Mr. Lin, the chairman of the Osborn Group," Osborn introduced the two.

Link's eyes were fixed on the nuclear fusion generator, which was designed by Dr. Otto and was exactly the same as the one in the movie.

Link immediately analyzed it in his mind. It was feasible, but it lacked stability and the calculated data might not be correct.

Otto, seeing Link staring at the device he had built, immediately began to explain it. As he explained, Link confirmed the errors in the device.

So he said, "Our Osborn Group is willing to fund this experiment."

"However, we hope we can buy it outright!"

Otto was taken aback and asked, "Buy it?"

"Yes, buy it now!" Link said. "If the doctor is willing, he can directly work for the Osborn Group."

"My experiment hasn't even started yet!" Otto said. "Although I'm very confident..."

"No need to say more, I'm very satisfied with your design," Link said with a smile. "So, how about selling it?"

"We want your equipment and all your data. Name your price!"

Otto frowned, feeling somewhat hesitant. After all, if he succeeded, it would undoubtedly be a groundbreaking achievement.
