I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Prior to this, he had always believed that the most important thing in dealing with criminals was his own combat skills, tactical level, fighting will, and hatred for these criminals.

However, when he was defeated by the mud monster, he realized that sometimes an ordinary person's abilities alone are not enough to solve all the problems.

But now Iron Fist has given him the answer to his question.

Perhaps I will always be just an ordinary person, and my physical abilities will never be able to compare with these mutated monsters.

However, what makes humans the most intelligent of all beings is never their physical strength, but their ability to use tools.

With that in mind, Bruce felt it was time to upgrade his equipment.

The loud sounds of battle also attracted the attention of those nearby, and many residents of Naihe Island leaned out of their windows to see what was happening outside.

But when they realized that it was Iron Fist and Batman outside, they immediately pulled their heads back and slammed the window shut.

After all, almost every resident of Naihe Island has a criminal record. If they're unlucky enough to get caught while joining in the fun, there's no need for them to bother.

So let's not peek out; at most, we can just sneak a quick peek through the window.

After the group confirmed that all the Clayface monsters were frozen, Gordon asked, "Want to do that again today?"

Depp: "Of course."

Bruce: "Yes."

Selena: "What else?"

Bat Dog: "Woof?"

“Alright…” Gordon said, then turned and walked into an empty alley.

She took out new clothes from the backpack she had stored beforehand, changed into them, and then put the old clothes, mask, and robotic arm back into the backpack.

Then, carrying his backpack, he jogged back to where he had parked, took out a detachable police light from his pocket, turned it on, and placed it on the roof of the car.

The residents of Naihe Island then spotted a car with flashing red and blue police lights speeding toward the frozen bungalow.

After a sharp screech of brakes, the police car stopped in front of the bungalow.

Gordon opened the car door, exuding an aura of authority that was both solemn and violent.

Holding a gun in one hand and his police badge in the other, he took a deep breath and shouted at Depp and the others with all his might, "GCPD! You're under arrest!"

Upon hearing this, Depp and his friends exchanged glances, suppressed their laughter, and scattered in all directions.

And it's quite reasonable that Gordon failed to capture these supervillains.

When a large contingent of police officers arrived as backup, they happened to find a freeze ray gun that had been thrown on the ground.

It's perfect for continuously cooling down these guys while they're being transported, checking for any imperfections.

Subsequently, the four Mudface Ice Dwen Dwens were put into trucks and sent directly to Blackgate Prison.

Due to the characteristics of the Clayfaces and their extremely unstable emotions, the warden of Blackgate Prison, after much consideration, decided not to take on this hot potato and instead dialed Arkham Asylum.

Chapter 58 Lucius Fox [Requesting monthly tickets and recommendation votes]

In the desolate outskirts of Gotham, there is a dilapidated factory that has been abandoned for many years.

Although from the outside, the factory appears overgrown with weeds and dilapidated, and it is difficult to find even one developer willing to take over the factory buildings.

But in the very center of the factory, there are high-tech instruments and machinery, and the warehouse is full of high-end materials that are hard to find on the market!

Even in one corner of the factory, there is a particle collider just like the one Tony has.

This is a research base that Bruce specifically found for Depp, dedicated to the research and upgrading of new equipment for "Iron Fist" by Harvey and others.

On the workbench, which gleamed with a silvery-white metallic sheen, Depp, wearing a helmet, was busy upgrading his and Gordon's equipment.

To be honest, he was very disappointed with the performance of this batch of armored vehicles in the last operation.

Therefore, when the new materials arrived, Depp immediately went to the research base and began the work of upgrading the equipment.

The most significant problem during the last operation was that Harvey and Gordon were unable to charge the lightning, so even with a full energy bar, the gloves were still not powerful enough against opponents like Mud Monsters.

Therefore, Depp felt that the first thing to do was to replace the armor's energy core.

After all, firepower is justice, and yield is truth.

Therefore, Depp plans to use the high-end materials that Bruce bought to try to make a miniature Ark Reactor just like Tony's.

Since he was going to do it, Depp decided that he had to make the most perfect version, the one Tony made using the new element, rather than the old reactor that used palladium.

After all, the energy of the new element reactor is much higher than that of the palladium element reactor.

The new element was created with Depp's full assistance to Tony, and Depp naturally had a thorough understanding of the production process.

To this end, Depp specifically asked Bruce to buy the same small particle collider as Tony.

This thing is extremely expensive, and most countries don't even have it, which almost made Bruce think that Depp was taking kickbacks from the supplier.

However, after thinking it over, he realized that he wasn't short of money, and buying a particle collider for Iron Fist to experiment with wasn't a big deal.

If they actually discover something amazing, they'll make a fortune.

After all, the research facility is nominally jointly owned by Iron Fist and Bruce.

One is technology-based equity, the other is real money.

Just as Depp was busily preparing to create the core of the new element, a beep sounded and the door to the research and development base opened.

"Who?"

Depp immediately reached into the armored arm beside him and looked warily toward the door.

Only he and Bruce had access to this research and development base, and Bruce had been attending an event for Gotham's elite in the city center just five minutes earlier.

The base's doors opened fully, and a middle-aged Black man in a silver suit walked in with an upright posture.

Depp aimed his palm cannon at the newcomer and put on his profile mirror.

Lucius Fox

Upon seeing the other person's name, Depp immediately relaxed.

He knew who the guy in front of him was. Lucius was Wayne Enterprises' chief technology expert and the manufacturer of Batman's various high-tech gadgets.

But why did he come here?

Could it be... that you want him to help you develop new equipment?

That's a good idea, after all, Lucius is a tech genius who will create countless gadgets for Bruce in the future.

With his help, my research and development work will definitely be much more efficient.

Lucius exuded the rationality and arrogance of a researcher. Seeing that Depp was wary of his arrival, he immediately said:

“Hello, Mr. Iron Fist, I am Ruby, Batman’s chief equipment engineer. As you know, I made almost all of his equipment myself.”

The young master told him that Iron Fist probably didn't know Batman's true identity.

Therefore, in order to keep the young master's true identity from being exposed, Lucius could not tell Depp his real name, much less that he was a member of Wayne Enterprises.

Furthermore, his purpose in coming here was that the young master wanted him and Iron Fist to jointly develop more advanced technological equipment.

To be honest, he was a little angry when he heard the news. He didn't think there was anything he could learn from this idiot with the iron helmet.

If the young master wants to upgrade his equipment, I alone are enough.

As Wayne Enterprises’ chief research expert and the sole manufacturer of Batman’s equipment, Lucius has his own pride.

Upon hearing Lucius's self-introduction, Depp exclaimed, "What the hell is Lucius? Why do you guys always try to hide your identities from me? How boring!"

However, he was kind enough not to expose the other party.

He detached the robotic arm and extended his hand to Lucius: "Hello, Mr. Ruby."

Although Depp was friendly, Lucius did not appreciate it.

He walked past Depp to the workbench and began to walk around inspecting it.

When Lucius saw the particle collider, he was furious!

This is arguably the most expensive piece of equipment in the world. Although it is small, its price is absolutely impossible to estimate.

He simply couldn't understand what kind of research this idiot with the iron helmet was going to do to make use of this particle collider.

You should know that there are no more than five countries that currently possess this device!

Lucius suspected that Iron Fist had used the pretext of buying equipment to purchase this useless thing and pocket a huge kickback!

Thinking about this, he felt he should give Iron Fist a warning.

This will let this guy know that the Wayne family's money isn't so easy to swindle!

Furthermore, only one person can make the decisions in this research base, and that is me—Lucius Fox—who possesses more technological power, is more loyal to the Wayne Corporation, and is also smarter.

Lucius, with an expression of having discovered a great secret, said, "Tsk tsk tsk, look what I found! A small particle collider!"

Depp, looking displeased, withdrew his hand and asked, "That's right, is there a problem?"

"Problems? Huge problems!" Lucius pressed. "I really can't figure out what you're going to do with this thing? Unless, you've taken kickbacks from the supplier!"

"Kickbacks? Mr. Ruby, I don't really like that joke." Depp's expression turned calm despite his anger.

Lucius took the initiative and sat down in the chair by the workbench, a knowing look on his face. "Stop pretending. Tell me, how much did you make on this deal? Fifty million? Or a hundred million?"

You seem to have that serious illness!

However, Depp also guessed why Lucius was so aggressive, since ordinary people don't really need to use particle colliders.

If you don't intend to create new elements and reactors, you don't need to buy this thing at all.

While Lucius's behavior had some justification, his attitude still angered Depp, but he refrained from reacting because Lucius was Bruce's equipment supplier.

Ignoring Lucius's absurd question, Depp walked over to the collider on his own.

Everything is ready; it's time to create new elements.

After starting the collider, Depp gripped the handles of the laser emitter tightly with both hands and said to Lucius, who was sitting awkwardly alone in a chair:

"If you don't want to be cut in half by the laser, stand behind me."

Upon hearing this, Lucius reluctantly got up and walked behind Depp, only to see the man in front of him activate the laser emitter.

Lucius thought defiantly: I want to see what kind of medicine you're selling in your collider!
