America, Jie De Science and Technology Experimental Headquarters.
In a small room of 20 square meters on the 18th floor underground.
Tesla held a cup of coffee in his hand and kept looking around. His heart was filled with anxiety.
He was actually kidnapped!
Moreover, he was kidnapped from the heavily-guarded military base X. Everything seemed unbelievable, yet it really happened.
What made Tesla even more incredulous was the fact that he actually saw superpowers.
Not only could the man who called himself "Number 10" turn invisible, but he could also make Tesla invisible as well. Just like that, he brought Tesla out of the military base X.
After being brought into this underground base, Tesla also found many nutrition chambers where experimental subjects were placed along the way. All of this made Tesla realize that he should have come to some underground human experimental organization.
Coupled with the superpowers that Number 10 displayed earlier, Tesla even suspected that Number 10's superpowers were created here.
However, other than fear, Tesla felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.
He had already guessed why they wanted to kidnap him. As one of the most capable researchers in the United States, his value was limited to this.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened and a man in a black coat came in. He held a document in his hand and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, making him look very refined.
After closing the door, Eric sat down in front of Tesla and smiled.
"I thought we'd meet, but I didn't expect it to be in this way. Still, it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Tesla. I'm Eric!" Eric extended his hand as he spoke.
Tesla was a little reserved. He extended his hand and shook Eric's hand, then asked,
"What's your purpose in kidnapping me?"
Hearing that, Tesla smiled. "Mr. Tesla, I know you very well, and I know what you want. Didn't you join the American military because they can provide you with a huge amount of funding so that you won't be unable to display your talents in scientific research due to the lack of various resources?"
Tesla was stunned when he heard that. He had to admit that this was indeed the reason he accepted the invitation from the American military. However, he had never told anyone about this idea, so he did not know how this man who called himself Eric knew about it.
"We're the same kind of people. I'm the same as you!"
"The same kind of people?" Tesla was stunned.
Eric nodded. "I think you've already met Number 10. He's one of my outstanding works."
Hearing that, Tesla had a horrified expression on his face.
"You're saying that you guys created this superpower?"
Eric smiled and nodded. "He is just one of them. I have even more outstanding works. I think you will see them in the future."
"Then why did you call me here? I'm not familiar with human research, so I might not be able to help you. "
At this time, Tesla's mind was full of doubts. Although he was not involved in human research, he was still curious about superpowers. However, he was most concerned about the purpose of kidnapping him.
"I've studied your 'Mech Preliminary Design Report' very carefully. I used to think that I was the most talented person, but I don't think so anymore because I think that you're as good as me. You're really a rare genius!" Looking at Tesla, a hint of fanaticism flashed in Eric's eyes.
"You've planted people in the military!" Tesla suddenly realized something. After all, this report had just been submitted, but now this non-military personnel had actually obtained his report. There was clearly something fishy going on.
"That's not important, is it? Mr. Tesla, I can provide all your research and development expenses here. I want to complete this special honor of creating a mech with you and create a brand new era of technology with you! "Eric said with a slightly fanatical tone.
Tesla fell into silence after hearing that.
During the conversation with Eric, Tesla realized that he was actually persuaded. He also realized that Eric really understood him.
However, he still shook his head and chose to refuse.
"Since you've read my report, then you should know that with our current technology, it's impossible to develop an energy core that can drive a mech. A mech without an energy core is like a human without a heart. No matter how strong your body is, it's just an empty shell!"
"Hahaha, Mr. Tesla, how could I not have considered this when I specially invited you here? If I tell you now that I've already created such an energy core, would you believe me?"
Upon hearing this, Tesla was shocked. He suddenly stood up and asked, "Is what you said true?"
"No matter how much you say, it's not as good as seeing it with your own eyes. Come with me." Eric placed the "Mech Manufacturing Preliminary Design" report in his hands on the table, then stood up and walked to the door. He turned around and glanced at Tesla, who was still in shock.
Seeing that, Tesla hurriedly followed. At that moment, his heart was filled with excitement.
If someone had told him that such an energy core had already been invented, he would have scoffed at it. However, today, he had even seen a person with superpowers. Coupled with the confidence that Eric displayed, Tesla was already more than half convinced.
He followed Eric to the elevator. Then, the two of them took the elevator to the thirty-second floor underground.
As soon as they walked out of the elevator, a row of security personnel stationed with guns looked over. However, after seeing Eric, these security personnel were very respectful and decisively dispersed to make a path.
After passing through a few security rooms, Tesla followed Eric to an airtight metal room.
After a series of identity verification, the door opened. Instantly, a rich fragrance assailed his nostrils. After taking a deep breath, Tesla felt that his body seemed to be much lighter.
Filled with curiosity, Tesla followed Eric into the room. Immediately, his gaze was attracted by the "stones" that were placed in the glass cover and were shining with a soft luster.
"This … Is this the energy core?" Tesla's voice seemed to be trembling.
The energy dissipated through the glass cover was already so shocking. At that moment, Tesla completely believed what Eric had said.
At that moment, Eric walked to a spirit stone, picked up a data report placed in front of it, and handed it to Tesla with a smile.
Tesla received it with trembling hands. He glanced at the title of the report, "Spirit Energy Core", then began to read.
The more he looked at it, the more surprised Tesla became. It was only at this moment that he realized that there was actually an element called "spiritual energy" on Earth, which was extremely powerful. According to the data report, the energy produced by such a Spirit Stone Core could supply the entire NYC with electricity for a day.
"How did you do it?" After flipping through the report, Tesla suddenly raised his head and asked with bloodshot eyes.
At that moment, his heart was filled with excitement and doubt, because he was very clear about the great impact the discovery of this new element would have on the development of the times.
"Someone found a dilapidated ancient book from an unknown era during archaeology. After testing it, it was found that this ancient book had a history of at least three million years, which is what we think of as the Paleolithic Age."
"Obviously, history is far from as simple as we understand it. In order to figure out the reason, I bought this ancient book and personally translated it. Although the result was not very ideal, I learned about the existence of spirit energy from it. This is a magical element that can help creatures evolve and can even keep us young forever.
"Naturally, I didn't believe it at that time. I thought it was a book with religious overtones, but I still did a lot of experiments for it. After experiencing countless failures, I actually managed to capture a weak trace of spirit energy. From that moment on, I knew that I would change the world!"
Upon hearing that, Tesla's face revealed an expression of admiration. At that moment, he did not think that Eric was arrogant. After understanding it, he felt that spirit energy was indeed an element that could change the world.
"How about it, Mr. Tesla? Are you willing to go forward with me? I can give you things that the US military can't, and I know you better than the US military. We can be friends. "
At that moment, Tesla was completely moved.
Eric had shocked him too much. Even though Tesla knew that this might be a road of no return, his restless heart still told him that he wanted to follow Eric and complete a feat that could change the world.
This might be the greatest creation of his life.
"Mr. Eric, I'm willing to join you!"
Upon hearing that, a smile appeared on Eric's face. In fact, he knew that Tesla would agree because he knew Tesla and understood what he desired.
After that, Eric brought Tesla to visit the many technological products in the laboratory that relied on spirit energy, which shocked Tesla again and again.
In the end, Eric brought Tesla into his office.
The two of them began to discuss Tesla's preliminary mecha design plan.
Both of them were top scholars with unique insights in the field of science and technology. It could be said that the more they talked, the more they got along. At that moment, Tesla had already regarded Eric as his bosom friend. He even felt that Eric was better than him in some aspects.
As they chatted, the topic changed to the origin of the idea of mecha manufacturing. Tesla did not hide anything and told Eric about the game Battle Online.
Upon hearing the four words "Battle Online", Eric's expression suddenly froze.
Eric was not familiar with the game "Battle Online", but he was not a stranger to it either.
Recently, one of the main products produced by the Jie De Technology Company, the "Gaming Chamber", suffered a huge loss in sales because of this game.
However, Eric did not specifically understand the game Battle Online. After all, to him, it was just a game. Although he was the behind-the-scenes controller of the Jie De Technology Company, he basically did not ask about the business affairs. He only cared about the achievements in the field of science and technology.
However, it was different to know about this game from Tesla. Battle Online had already piqued his curiosity.
"You found inspiration in the game?" Eric asked curiously.
"It's not inspiration. The game already has a complete design plan. It's so detailed that it can even build a perfect mecha. My design plan was originally based on the design in the game and improved on the materials in reality!"
"Oh? A game company can actually have this kind of capability? "Eric was very surprised.
"You can go and experience it. You definitely won't be disappointed. I even suspect that the behind-the-scenes team of this game is like you guys, a very powerful underground organization!"
Eric frowned slightly, "A mysterious underground organization?"
After pondering for a moment, Eric stood up and said, "Let's go.
"Let's go. I can't wait to see it."
Tesla nodded immediately. After knowing Eric's capability, he believed that Eric would be as fascinated by this game as he was. Moreover, with Eric's help, his research and development in the game would definitely be smoother.
Subsequently, the two of them took the elevator to the recreational area on the second floor of the base. With the help of the staff, they lay down in the gaming chamber and clicked on the game Battle Online.
At that moment, a notification suddenly appeared.
[Game is incompatible. Unable to run!]
