Marvel Salted Fish Kryptonian

According to his agent's intuition! Yeah, okay. There was no need to escalate to that level. Fury also knew that revealing this information would make things complicated.

It's better not to say anything.

Chapter 292: Deep Thoughts on the Beach

In California in the summer, the focus is of course on sunshine, beaches, and bikinis!

Los Angeles, in particular, has many famous beaches, which are not only great for surfing but also popular dating destinations for young men and women.

In order to make up for the yellow sun that he had not had since waking up in Alaska in the fall of 90, Henry would bring his own beach chair and stay at several famous beaches in Los Angeles in turn, staying there for the whole day.

Santa Monica Beach, Venice Beach, Malibu Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Zuma Beach, Matador State Beach, Dockweiler Beach.

Each place has its own unique natural scenery and many beautiful landscapes, such as surging waves, tumbling buttocks, and honey legs like a forest, which are really dazzling.

It must be said that Henry was motivated to sunbathe for the first time. He just wanted to sunbathe every day and never get tired of it.

Of course, this was limited to sunbathing, and he also had to limit the use of his superpowers, such as his eyes that could see at the atomic level.

If you really see that, is it to describe the beauty of the balance between the atomic nucleus and the electron trajectory?

But while Henry is basking in the sun here, his super brain is not just sitting there doing nothing.

The year is 1994. For Henry, the big event of 1995 is the release of Microsoft's Windows 95 system.

Most computer operations can be performed by controlling the cursor with a mouse and clicking icons, which no longer requires computer users to memorize complicated commands and parameters, greatly reducing the difficulty of using computers.

Although Henry released a Windows package for Linux under the name CK, Linux is ultimately not as powerful as Microsoft's operating system software, which is dominated by a company and integrates many functions.

The issue of adapting Windows packages to Linux versions alone is a daunting challenge for many users, as is the question of whether users can recompile the packages to adapt them to their operating systems if they encounter problems.

Not only are the two systems incomparable in terms of functionality and performance, but the barrier to entry is also vastly different. Linux's only advantage is that it's open source and free software. Microsoft's Windows 95, on the other hand, is ridiculously expensive!

However, Henry's focus was not on supporting Linux to compete with Microsoft for the personal computer market, but on the upcoming World Wide Web trend.

Although the browser war between IE and Netscape was quite exciting, it seemed that there was an opportunity to take advantage of.

But if Henry wanted to develop an open-source, free browser, he would run into a problem similar to Linux: while people love using free things, most people can't accept the effort of maintaining and revising them for free.

Unless you're truly interested in starting a company, you won't be able to defeat a well-funded, well-funded company like Microsoft by following your haphazard approach to Linux. You'll just be a troublemaker at best.

However, whether it is a search engine, a portal website, or a platform that can only be placed on the dark web in the future, the most important part is the server where these software are deployed.

Although Henry built a server-class computer in his rental house in Los Angeles that was more advanced than any computer today, it was primarily used as a test platform rather than as a real server.

Before today, the network space that CK boss needed was obtained by using worms spread from the Joker Forum. He secretly occupied a small portion of resources in the servers of major campuses and deployed his own things.

These websites secretly deployed on other people's homes often fail.

Some were discovered by administrators and deleted. After all, these are outdated technologies from several years ago, and CK doesn't deliberately maintain or upgrade them after deployment. It's not surprising that today's experts discovered anomalies and cleaned them up.

Some devices simply broke down, and the data they had installed was lost. Those managers had no obligation to tell CK that the device was obsolete and to quickly transfer their data to the new device.

So in order to cope with the upcoming Internet wave, Henry came up with the idea of ​​setting up a permanent server.

Of course, this so-called permanence does not mean that it can be used for millions of years and will never break down. Instead, it means finding a suitable location where it will not be destroyed by outsiders or forced to move due to human interference.

Besides location, running a server requires two other things: electricity and a communications network. These cannot be cut off at will.

Henry had no intention of continuing to pay for this. Therefore, he planned to find a way to generate his own electricity, and the communications network would be connected to existing cables, taking advantage of the US's bandwidth resources for free.

To meet the above three requirements, the most suitable place to establish a permanent server is the seabed!

The advantage of the seabed in concealment is self-evident.

Although he failed to get the design of the Ark reactor from Tony Stark, electricity can be generated by using ocean currents to drive turbines.

Ocean currents inherently have stable flow rates and directions, making them far more stable than solar or wind power. All we need to do is find a way to increase the efficiency of power generation.

The communication network naturally focused on submarine cables. Given Henry's underwater capabilities, connecting an additional line to the existing submarine cables was not a problem.

Taking all of these three factors into consideration, Henry had to find a seabed with a cable and currents. Whether it was flat or not wasn't that important. If there was a real need, Henry would simply prepare the seabed.

Moreover, deploying the server on the seabed has an additional advantage, which is that the server equipment can be cooled by water cooling.

The first thing to emphasize is that pure water does not conduct electricity! Water conducts electricity because of the electrolytes in the water.

Therefore, as long as the inner and outer layers are completely isolated and seawater is prevented from entering the interior of the equipment, the server can be completely immersed in pure water for heat dissipation.

This water cooling method also eliminates the need for fans, which in turn reduces the server's overall power consumption, freeing up that power for performance improvements or equipment expansion.

So during this period, Henry was keen on sunbathing on beaches in various places, and also to find a suitable underwater location to build his own permanent server.

As long as the initial long-distance detection meets the requirements, Henry will go into the water to confirm it personally.

We're not here just to protect our eyes! We have something serious to do!

The first submarine server also has another important purpose: to test whether the idea is feasible and can withstand large-scale deployment.

During actual use, will there be any defects that were not anticipated in the initial plan and need to be corrected?

After all, Henry is not one of those real big guys with amazing money who can easily set up a secret base, or build a supercomputer or server without being discovered or destroyed.

Not to mention the ongoing expenses involved. If he were to follow the proper channels, he'd have to pay for electricity and communications. With Henry's small coffers, it wouldn't last long.

In addition to looking for a suitable deployment location, Henry was also thinking about the server equipment.

From chips to hard drives, existing commercially available products didn't meet Henry's needs. Since everything had to be made in-house, the server design and layout didn't need to consider any universal specifications.

The most important consideration is the overall power consumption. How to accurately calculate it and design the corresponding ocean current turbine generator.

It can be said that this underwater server is like a small test for Henry, who has always made his own computer hardware.

If you want to make achievements in technology, rather than simply relying on super powers to solve all problems, and you don't have the financial backing, this is a hurdle you must overcome.

If you can't get past this level, forget about it in the future. Use your super powers and crush everything that stands in your way.

Chapter 293: Start of Work and Seeking Help

The construction site of the submarine server was chosen to be in the dock area. A warehouse was temporarily rented and operations were carried out directly in it.

The advantage is that after construction is completed, it can enter the water nearby. Then the server can be transported to the predetermined location on the seabed, avoiding most official monitoring methods and avoiding exposure.

Furthermore, Henry didn't need large-scale machine tools to build things. Most operations could be completed with heat rays and manual labor. A few required auxiliary tools, but they were not major contraptions.

Such as lenses and needles made of various materials. The former is used to further reduce the diameter of the heat ray beam, while the latter is used to adjust tiny details.

This experimental submarine server, in particular, has no plans for repair, replacement, or upgrades. If it breaks, it's scrapped or recycled.

Therefore, many connection points do not require screws or slots, and can be directly welded. This saves a lot of trouble, materials and processes.

It was autumn, and it wasn't because the number of bikini beauties on the beach had decreased, but simply because a suitable location had been found and the plan simulated by the super brain had matured, so work began.

Just as Henry's construction was in full swing, the phone at the rental house rang.

Because the phone ring was connected to Henry's homemade reminder device, it could use an ultra-high frequency sound to remind him when he was not at home. It was the same device as the call bell at the black clinic.

Basically, the range is within a radius of 20 kilometers. Henry does not need to deliberately use super hearing monitoring to notice the special sound.

The phone was connected to an answering machine, so there was no need to return to the apartment to answer it. If the other party had something important to say, they would naturally leave a message.

But today was different. It was Charlize Theron, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, on the phone. Her voice was a little nervous and frightened. "Henry, I'm sorry, I don't know who to turn to.

"If you can hear this message, please help me. I don't know where I am except that I'm at a photography studio in North Hollywood. I'm sorry, but I don't know what to do. Help me..."

Of course, it's impossible not to be moved by such a message, but it's not like I should just blindly go north of Hollywood and look for someone.

Henry stopped what he was doing and used super speed to return to his rental apartment. First he checked the call log.

In the United States, calls are messages that include the incoming caller's phone number. While regular calls don't display the other party's phone number, Henry's modified answering machine does record it.

Once you have a phone number, you can infer the approximate area it's in. This is based on the convention of old telephone exchanges, where numbers starting with the same number would appear on the same exchange.

Although the telephone exchange center has been revised and upgraded several times and the technology is no longer the same as before, the distribution habits of application numbers have not changed much.

There are also phone numbers, and you can search for information in the Yellow Pages. However, the records in the phone book are sorted by the name of the person who called or the company that applied, not by phone number.

For most people, finding a specific number would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. But for Henry, a Kryptonian, it was a piece of cake. Unless the number being dialed was too recent and not even in the Yellow Pages.

Fortunately, the phone used by Charlize Theron was recorded and registered under the Ioffe Photography Studio.

The studio didn't advertise in the Yellow Pages, so there was no address, just the name of the studio.

However, this information was enough for Henry to narrow down the search area for Charlize Theron. He flew directly to the rooftop of a high-rise building in the target area and looked down at the area.

This place is very close to San Fernando Valley, another holy place in Los Angeles that can be compared with Hollywood.

So, was he tricked into making an adult film?

Henry had only received a rash call, so he couldn't guess the cause and effect of the matter. So he just stood on the rooftop and used his super senses to find the girl who asked for help.

Because the location is a photography studio, the focus is on the signboard and similar layouts. Some obviously different places can be omitted to shorten the search time.

Furthermore, this area was far from the city center, lacking tall buildings and mostly consisting of detached houses. The so-called high-rise building at Henry's feet was merely a three-story apartment building. Even at this height, it stood out from the crowd.

Henry quickly found Charlize Theron's location, which was easier than he had imagined.

The girl was wearing a bathrobe with nothing underneath. The other people in the room were all men, but I didn't see any men like Charlize, wearing bathrobes to prepare for battle.

And the equipment used is just a camera, not a video camera. So it's just taking pictures, not filming?

The person next to the girl is her agent, John Crosby, a talent scout and agent who is trying to persuade the girl who is feeling embarrassed.

The content is about stripping off for art. If we take this step, we'll probably be one step closer to the San Fernando Valley.

Henry didn't rush in directly, but hailed a taxi nearby. This wasn't a busy city area, so there weren't many taxis, and it wasn't easy to find one on the roadside.

As soon as we got in the back seat, the driver asked, "Where are you going?"

Henry gave the address of the photography studio, which was very close to the pickup point. The driver turned around in surprise, looked at the passenger in the back seat and asked, "Sir, where you're going is only two blocks away. Why don't you just walk there?"

He pulled four or five twenty-dollar bills from his pocket and folded them in half. Henry handed them over. "Wait ten minutes for me when we get there. I'll bring someone out and then leave. The taxi fare will be extra."

Hearing this strange request and the generous tip, the driver looked at the passenger in the back seat with concern and asked, "Will this get me into trouble?"

"If you hear gunshots, run. I'm probably not going to make it out alive."

"Walter!"

"Haha, I'm just kidding. It's just that my friend and I have to go somewhere urgent, and it's not easy to get a taxi here. You can understand." Henry shook the money in his hand again.

The driver took the money but didn't seem to want to keep it. "Since the tip is generous, I have to remind you. There's a photography studio at the address you're going to that specializes in taking photos of women from Playboy and the Sacred Valley."

"They have some connections. You'd better not get involved with them. Otherwise, I'll have to ask you to get off the bus. And this money is for your advice."

"Are they a gang?"

"No, but the Nicos and Mexicans from the South Side don't dare mess with them either. That's all I know."

Henry thought about it and said, "Let's drive. You can park further away and leave if you have any questions. Is that okay?"

Shrugging, the driver put the money in his bag and drove on.

Chapter 294 Shooting scene

At the shooting scene, the photographer held the camera in his hand, constantly adjusting his angle, pressing the shutter button at the most appropriate time, and then quickly rewinding the film to take the next picture.

In addition to the people assisting with lighting, John Crosby was sitting in the corner of the room with a white man in a neat suit, drinking and looking at the beautiful scenery in the room.

Originally, the only voice in the room was the photographer's. He kept shouting, "Look here." "Look there." "Go to the window." "Put your hands down." "Put your hands up." He was directing the model's posture.

Suddenly, a voice that didn't belong to the photographer entered the room. "Oh, so this is a photography studio. Different rooms have different designs. Looks like they can do more than just taking photos, video recordings are possible too."

"Who are you!" The startled photographer looked at the stranger standing not far behind him.

"Henry." Charlize Theron recognized the man, realized her situation, and hurriedly squatted down and hugged her legs.

Upon noticing the intruders, a number of burly men immediately rushed over from all corners of the studio. Each one of them had a ferocious look, creating an oppressive atmosphere.

Henry picked up the bathrobe beside him and put it on the girl who was curled up as if nothing had happened.

John Crosby jumped out at this time, pointed at the man he had met once, and cursed loudly: "Henry, what are you doing! You are interfering with Charlize's work, do you know that?"

"Work?" Henry looked around curiously and couldn't help laughing. "This kind of work."

Don't think that taking aesthetic photos is an artistic act that should not be condemned or viewed with prejudice. However, those moments that are not recorded by the camera challenge human imagination, not moral standards.

After drinking the amber liquid from the whiskey glass, the respectable man in a suit stood up. "Boy, you don't think this is a hero saving a damsel, do you?

"We're a legitimate studio, and we're doing contracted work. You can't just opt ​​out of this if you don't want to. Do you want to hear the consequences of breaching the contract?"

Henry held the girl's head, preventing her from standing up and speaking. He himself looked at the imposing man in a suit and the thugs surrounding him.
