"So that's it!" In the cradle of life, Eric breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly opened his eyes, only to find that there was no one around.
Less than ten hours had just passed, not even a quarter of the forty-eight hours had been used, and Eric had already sorted out his thoughts and voluntarily dispersed the energy circuits in his arms.
This is what is known as thick and thin, more than a hundred years of experience in magnetic control, magnetic energy so huge that it can pry the earth's magnetic field, upstart gravitational control, more than a year of research data from several geniuses, and with Reed's help ...
Everything was in place to make Eric's control of the powerful and weak forces watertight.
"Future, open the hatch."
"Yes sir, do I need to inform the others?"
"Not yet, open the training chamber and let's test the new abilities."
Unlike the magnetic and gravitational forces on the macro level, the strong and weak forces on the micro level were difficult to use separately.
In the middle of the specially built training room, Eric took out a small peanut-sized piece of vibranium, moved it slightly magnetically, making it float in the air, and then tapped out with a finger.
A strange energy struck the vibranium, and the vibranium atoms changed dramatically. The vibranium atoms, which were said to be in constant motion, shook more violently, and the nuclei of some of them suddenly split open, releasing a huge amount of energy, and a large amount of radiation spilled out rapidly, but it was all bound within a small area by the magnetic field.
At the macroscopic level, the peanut-sized nuggets of vibranium vibrated uneasily upon contact with the energy, releasing a dazzling white light before bursting with a force almost as powerful as several grenades!
Nuclear fission! This is the product of a combination of powerful and weak forces! Just a small portion of the atoms fissioned and the power was already so great, how much more powerful would it be if the whole piece of vibranium was fissioned?
"A fission reaction! Interesting, let's try fusion again!"
Eric waved his hand and beckoned a canister of hydrogen gas, opened it and then used magnetic and gravitational forces to control a portion of the hydrogen gas and pointed a finger out.
"Boom!" A bursting ball of fire appeared out of thin air, releasing a huge amount of energy that was even more powerful than earlier.
"It's more powerful than nuclear fusion!" Eric rubbed his chin, satisfied, "According to the mass-energy equation, one gram of tritium fully undergoes nuclear fusion, the power is equivalent to twenty thousand tons of TNT, even if the conversion rate of a hydrogen bomb is calculated at 0.7%, it is still equivalent to one hundred and forty tons of TNT, if we let all this canister of hydrogen undergo fusion, hiss! Terrible!"
Sure enough, magnetic and gravitational forces dominate control, strong and weak forces dominate destruction!
According to the current level of technology, to complete a nuclear fusion reaction is extremely demanding, not only does it require a large amount of auxiliary equipment, even the elemental hydrogen must be carried out using isotopes, and there are also high requirements for the quality of the isotopes.
But for Eric, who has mastered the strong and weak forces, nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are as simple as controlling a ball of iron to float up, no harsh requirements, let alone caring about the materials, just one click and everything will be destroyed when the heart is in the right place!
"Very good, very strong, very violent!" Eric waved his hand to clean up the radiation from the two experiments and continued his experiment.
Strong and weak, it doesn't just destroy!
The ability to reorganise matter, which Eric had long coveted, was also in essence use of strong and weak forces, but in a different direction.
Eric found a piece of glass, dropped it on the ground and broke it into pieces, then picked two random pieces next to each other and put them together to activate his power.
The main component of glass is silica, and on a microscopic level, the silica molecules on the contact surface of the two pieces of glass break quickly and then join again, the silica molecules on the two pieces of glass quickly join together, and in no time, the two pieces of glass are joined together.
Molecular manipulation, broken mirrors!
This is not quite material reorganisation, which requires changing the nature of matter at the atomic level.
After a few tests, Erik found that he was still a little short of being able to reorganise matter and had no choice but to give up.
"It seems that even if I make the strong and weak forces as strong as the magnetic force, I may not be able to obtain the ability to reorganise matter.
With nine points of joy and one point of regret, Eric once again lay back in the Cradle of Life.
He had gained the skills, but not the skill points! Both skills were still at level 10!
Of course, in reality, there was no skill icon, let alone the plus sign that could be pressed to upgrade with a single click.
To upgrade his skills, Eric had to use his understanding of the strong and weak powers, check them against the abilities he had just acquired, and deepen his mastery of them.
Luckily, with the precedent of acquiring gravitational powers in place, Eric was very familiar with the process.
How could we waste the promised forty-eight hours!
...
While Eric continued his retreat, at ease and comfortable, Stark's side was already in a mess.
"Tony! What's going on here? I've only been away for two days and my house is in this state, is the demolition crew here or the city police?"
Howard Stark was standing in front of his cottage with an exasperated look....
"Hey, Pops! Where the hell have you been the last two days?" Tony was standing amidst the rubble with a glass of red wine, directing the workers to clear the debris, and as soon as he saw Howard, he immediately ran over, "Pops, I should never have listened to you! Obadiah is a bastard, I should have just killed him!"
"This was Obadiah's doing?" Howard grabbed his son's glass and drained it in one go.
Tony recounted the story and Howard sighed as he listened, "Obadiah has given me a lot of help and I was going to give him another chance, but alas."
"Pops, where the hell have you been the last two days? Haven't you seen the news? This thing is all over the world!"
Howard sniffed and couldn't help but look up at the sky, "I went to see two old friends."
"Friends of Mr. Stark seem to live quite far away?" A man with a very dangerous hairline walked over with a very friendly smile and looked straight at Howard, "Hello, Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, Phil Coulson, one of your fans!"
"Coulson, that's a long name for your department!" Tony grumbled, giving him a friendly pat on the shoulder, looking like even he hadn't been able to keep Coulson's hidden skills at bay.
"To simplify the name of the department, this would require asking your father for his opinion." Coulson gave Tony a friendly smile and looked to Howard.
"What do you mean?" Tony looked at Coulson and then at his father, puzzled.
"Your father was one of the founders of our department." Coulson saw that Howard had no intention of stopping and just blurted out who he was.
"What?" Tony looked incredulous.
"Well, we'll talk about that later, Tony, first tell me, what do you know about that teddy bear?"
"Miss Teddy Bear?" Tony was quickly lost in thought, "I don't know who she is, but her battle armour, with all those outlandish features, reminds me of a guy who plays with magnets."
