Chapter 248 Power and Responsibility

In a strict sci-fi laboratory at the Umbrella headquarters, the walls are flashing with cold blue light, and various high-tech equipment are neatly arranged, flashing faint fluorescence. In the center of the laboratory, a huge transparent cabin stands quietly, and a gem emitting mysterious light is suspended in the cabin - the power gem. Its energy fluctuations are transmitted through the cabin to the entire laboratory, and complex data are constantly jumping on the display screen.

Sengoku Lingma stood in front of the cabin, wearing a white lab coat, with his hands behind his back, staring intently at the power gem. His expression was serious, his brows furrowed, showing his importance and urgency in this research. Beside him, the scientific researcher Shumagia - codenamed "Alpha" - was busy operating various instruments, accurately recording every energy fluctuation of the gem.

The intelligent computer, a holographic image suspended in the air, emitting a soft blue light, is constantly analyzing the data, and its tone is calm and clear: "The energy fluctuation frequency of the power gem has stabilized at 1.6 terahertz, but the energy output still has unpredictable fluctuations. It is recommended to conduct further data surveys to ensure the accuracy of the results."

Zhan Ji Ling Ma nodded, a trace of contemplation flashed in his eyes: "We need more sophisticated equipment to capture these subtle fluctuations. Alpha, adjust the sensitivity of the scanner and set it to the maximum value."

Alpha executed the command without hesitation, and the mechanical arm deftly operated the instrument: "Understood, adjusting the scanner sensitivity, estimated completion time 30 seconds."

Zhan Ji Ling Ma continued to check the data on the display screen, with a hint of anxiety in his tone: "The power of the power gem cannot be underestimated. We must ensure that all parameters are within the controllable range, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

The holographic image of the intelligent computer floated for a moment, and then reported: "All scanning equipment has been adjusted, and a new round of energy fluctuation capture is in progress."

Zhan Ji Ling Ma stared at the power gem: "I hope this survey can bring us more valuable information."

Zhan Ji Lingma stared at the numbers jumping on the display screen, his eyes flashing with wisdom. He knew that this power gem contained infinite energy. If it could be controlled, it would bring unprecedented power to the Umbrella Headquarters. He frowned slightly, thinking about how to use this power safely and effectively.

"Intelligent Brain," Zhan Ji Lingma said, his tone calm but full of determination, "We need to develop a detailed plan to control and utilize the energy of the Power Stone. We can't take any risks, this energy is too strong."

The intelligent computer responded immediately, its voice mechanical and calm: "According to the current data, the energy of the power gem can be used to strengthen our existing energy system, increase the attack power of weapons, and enhance the strength of protective barriers. But these are preliminary ideas, and we need more in-depth research to ensure safety."

Zhan Ji Ling Ma nodded and continued, "We must not only use the energy of the Power Stone, but also consider how to use it in conjunction with the Space Stone. The Space Stone has the ability to change space and open portals. If we can combine the power of these two stones, we will have unparalleled power and strategic advantages."

Alpha continued to adjust the instrument to cooperate with Zhan Ji Lingma's research: "Dr. Lingma, I suggest that we build an energy conversion and transmission device to manage the energy of the power gem and the space gem at the same time."

Zhan Ji Lingma thought for a moment and then made the decision: "Very good. Intelligent brain, start designing the prototype of the energy conversion and transmission device. We need a system that can stably and safely manage these two energies. Alpha, you are responsible for building the experimental environment to ensure that there is no energy leakage during the test."

The holographic image of the intelligent computer flashed and began to display a complex device design diagram: "Understood, the prototype device is being designed. The device will have the functions of energy absorption, conversion and transmission to ensure that the energy of the power gem and the space gem can be stably combined and controlled."

Zhan Ji Ling Ma nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. Our goal is to use the energy of these two gems for space jumps and weapon systems while ensuring safety and stability. First, we need to conduct a small-scale energy transmission test to confirm the compatibility of the energy."

Alpha quickly operated the robotic arm and began to build the experimental platform: "The experimental platform is being built. It is expected to be completed in three hours."

Three hours later, the atmosphere in the laboratory became more tense and serious. All the equipment was ready, and the data on the display screen showed that everything was going according to plan. Zhan Ji Lingma stood in front of the console, his hands lightly touching the keyboard, his eyes sharp and focused. He knew that the next experiment was crucial, and any slight mistake could have disastrous consequences.

"Alpha, check all connection points and make sure there is no energy leakage." Zhan Ji Lingma ordered, his tone revealing unquestionable majesty.

The Alpha robotic arm moved quickly, checking each connection point one by one: "All connection points are normal, no energy leakage was found."

The holographic image of the intelligent computer flickered in the air, and continued to analyze the data: "The energy transmission device is ready. The energy fluctuations of the power gem and the space gem have been synchronized. The test can begin at any time."

Zhan Ji Lingma took a deep breath and looked at the power gem floating in the transparent chamber and the space gem in another chamber next to it. The two gems emitted their own unique light, the purple light of the power gem and the blue light of the space gem complemented each other in the chamber, which looked particularly spectacular and mysterious.

"Start energy transmission." Zhan Ji Lingma gave the order, his hands firmly placed on the console, his eyes fixed on the display screen.

The voice of the intelligent computer was steady and calm: "Energy transmission begins, and the first stage of energy absorption starts."

Instantly, the Power Gem and the Space Gem began to release strong energy fluctuations, and the indicator lights on the transmission device flashed. The data on the display screen jumped wildly, and various energy parameters began to change. Zhan Ji Lingma carefully observed every data point to ensure that everything was within the expected range.

"Energy absorption is normal, entering the second stage, and energy conversion is started." The intelligent computer reported.

Under the control of the console, the energy of the two gems began to converge and transform through the transmission device, and strong energy fluctuations echoed in the laboratory. Alpha constantly adjusted various parameters to ensure stable energy transmission.

"Energy conversion is successful, entering the third stage, and energy transmission is started." The intelligent computer continued to report.

Zhan Ji Lingma's eyes were fixed on the display screen, making sure that all parameters were within the control range. He knew that this stage was the most critical, and any mistake could lead to energy out of control.

"Energy transmission is normal and the system is stable." There was a hint of relief in the voice of the intelligent computer.

Zhan Ji Ling Ma finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Alpha and said, "Everything went well. We succeeded."

The Alpha mechanical arm retracted, and a hint of satisfaction was revealed in his tone: "The energy transmission device is working normally. The energy of the power gem and the space gem is perfectly combined."

Zhan Ji Ling Ma smiled and turned to the intelligent computer in the holographic image: "Next, we need to conduct further tests to ensure the long-term stability of the system. At the same time, we can start to study how to apply this energy to our weapons and space jump systems."

The intelligent computer nodded in agreement: "Understood. Next, we will conduct long-term stability testing and application research."

Zhan Ji Ling Ma looked at the Power Stone and the Space Stone, his eyes flashing with enthusiasm: "This is just the beginning. Future research will bring us greater power and broader prospects. The Umbrella Headquarters will enter a new era because of this research."

......

The snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas sparkled in the afterglow of the setting sun, and a sense of tranquility permeated the cold air. In a hidden temple, the Ancient One - a profound and wise but somewhat mischievous old wizard - was in a warm room, motioning Nathan Hawke and Thor to sit down and drink tea. The Ancient One, dressed in traditional wizard robes, smiled and looked at the two guests in front of him.

"Please sit down and have a cup of tea," said Gu Yi kindly, his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Nathan Hawke and Thor each found a cushion to sit down. Thor held up the teacup a little stiffly, while Nathan seemed more relaxed. The aroma of tea filled the warm room, seeming to dispel the chill outside.

Ancient One looked at Thor with a smile, his eyes flickering slightly inside him: "Thor, it seems that the power of the Reality Stone has been integrated into your body. I am curious, how did you do it?"

Thor frowned, looking a little uneasy, but he still explained: "It's a complicated story, Ancient One. The power of the Reality Stone was integrated into my body during a battle, and I am still learning how to control it."

Ancient nodded and turned his gaze to Nathan Hawke: "I heard that you now have the Space Stone and the Power Stone. Can you tell me how you plan to use these two stones?"

Nathan Hawke smiled and took a sip of tea, and replied: "Master Ancient One, my plan is to ensure the safety and stability of these gems. The energy of the power gem can be used to enhance the defense system, and the space gem can help us move quickly when needed. But I also understand that the power of these gems cannot be easily abused."

Ancient One nodded with satisfaction and continued, "In this way, there are three Infinity Stones on Earth. My Time Stone, your Space Stone and Power Stone, plus the Reality Stone in Thor's body." His tone became more serious, "We must act with caution, the power of these stones cannot be underestimated."

Thor put down his teacup and asked, "Ancient One, where are the other gems? Where are the Mind Gem and the Soul Gem?"

Ancient One said slowly: "The Mind Stone is with me. I recovered it myself. As for the Soul Stone, it is still somewhere in the universe."

Nathan Hawke frowned: "So, except for the Soul Gem, the rest of the Gems are among us?"

Gu nodded: "That's right, that's why I invited you here today. We need a careful plan to ensure that these gems will not fall into the hands of the enemy, and at the same time use their power reasonably to protect the earth."

The three of them were silent for a moment, looking at each other, knowing in their hearts that this was not only a matter of control over power, but also a responsibility.

Gu Yi smiled and broke the silence: "Come on, let's continue drinking tea. There are still many things to discuss."

The Himalayan snow was dancing quietly outside the window, while the three people in the room began to think deeply and plan for the future in the warm fragrance of tea.
