After settling matters with HYDRA, Luca prepared to return to New York.
For the foreseeable future, Luca estimated he would be constantly traveling between New York, Sokovia, and the HYDRA Base.
Fortunately, with Spotted Man as a driver, comparable to Kamar-Taj's portal, it was incredibly convenient to go anywhere, so he simply treated it as routine visiting.
And now, upon returning to New York, Luca indeed had quite a few things to attend to.
First, the design for the transformable Base was nearing completion.
For Luca now, this thing wasn't really difficult.
However, due to the complexity of its construction, it might take a long time.
Luca didn't want the Base to be built only to find it didn't meet the Golden Finger's standards. So he could only strive for perfection as much as possible, not simply creating a 'transformation' like a ceiling opening to get by.
As for other things like signal towers and power stations, considering he shouldn't get too deeply involved with HYDRA recently, the related work was handled by Orange Group and local families in Sokovia, without using HYDRA's connections in Europe.
Uh, well, actually, it was basically all the local Sokovian forces putting in the effort.
Although after HYDRA withdrew from Sokovia, those families had once wanted to break away from Orange Group and go solo, under the dual suppression of Luca and Zemo, those guys' surrender was incredibly swift.
As for Zemo, in his heart, the stability of Sokovia outweighed everything.
And after temporarily setting aside the Base construction in Sokovia, Luca immediately plunged into another task.
"Haro, that's not right. Since the Egg of the Universe must be captured under Jupiter's gravity, and then GN particles and energy can only be produced after the Egg of the Universe undergoes attenuation and filtration, how could a pseudo Solar Furnace be manufactured on Earth?"
Inside the laboratory, Luca was looking through manufacturing data related to the Solar Furnace while discussing with the Orange Haro beside him how to manufacture a pseudo Solar Furnace.
At this time, Orange Haro was piloting a new research-type Haro mech, acting as Luca's 'experimental assistant'.
"According to the data, the Egg of the Universe does not only exist in Jupiter's environment. The so-called capture of the Egg of the Universe in the data is actually capturing the energy potential difference generated by Jupiter's special gravity and magnetic field environment, used to stabilize the operation of the Solar Furnace."
"According to the conjecture you provided, electromagnetic signals can indeed simulate a similar environment. However, since a stable energy potential difference cannot be formed, the amount of GN particles produced depends on the duration of the magnetic field."
Listening to Haro's analysis, Luca nodded thoughtfully.
"So, what I actually need now is neither to simulate Jupiter's environment nor to rush to capture Egg of the Universe particles. The primary task is actually to stably simulate that kind of energy potential difference similar to a small Black Hole..."
Speaking of this, Luca's voice suddenly paused, and he looked at the Spotted Man, who was boredly playing with his fingers, with a somewhat strange expression.
'Isn't this guy, after all, a researcher under Kingpin, who helped manufacture a particle collider that could travel through space? How come after gaining superpowers, his behavior is like an idiot?!'
Well, although he was complaining in his mind, Luca at this moment thought of Spotted Man not because he was foolishly playing with his hands there.
'Can the Black Hole this guy generates be used to assist in manufacturing a pseudo Solar Furnace?'
'No! I'm thinking about it wrong!'
A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Luca's mind, and he immediately put down the data in his hand and shouted at Spotted Man.
"Jonathan!"
"Uh, Boss, I wasn't spacing out!"
Hearing the shout, Spotted Man hurriedly put his hands behind his back, looking at Luca with an innocent expression.
It made Luca's forehead furrow with black lines.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm asking you, can the portal you open directly connect to the inside of Jupiter??"
Yes, although he hadn't thought about it this way before, this Spotted Man could directly open portals to parallel space-time.
Instead of struggling with how to use his Black Hole ability to capture the energy potential difference brought by the phase topological band.
It's better to consider...
If he could truly stably open a spatial tunnel to the center of Jupiter, then he could completely establish a'space station' on Earth, connecting to the Jupiter environment only in necessary equipment rooms.
This would not only save costs and time but could even skip the pseudo Solar Furnace and directly manufacture a true, complete version of the Solar Furnace.
Spotted Man scratched his head, somewhat puzzled by Luca's question, but still answered honestly.
"As long as it's not across parallel space-time, I should be able to do it currently, but the further the distance, the more the size and duration of the opened portal will decay."
"If it's a distance like Jupiter, I estimate I can only open a portal for a few tenths of a second, hmm, about this big."
While speaking, Spotted Man also gestured in front of him, creating a Black Hole about two or three meters high out of thin air.
However, judging solely by its existence time, this Black Hole was clearly not connected to Jupiter; it was just a portal Spotted Man casually generated to more clearly show the size.
Seeing this, Luca turned to Haro, wanting to ask for its opinion.
And Haro did not disappoint Luca; after a moment of red light flickering in its eyes, it immediately nodded.
"Yes, this size is enough. We only need to throw the prepared capture equipment and the Solar Furnace casing onto Jupiter's gaseous surface, and then, with a certain number of intelligent robots, hand over the subsequent particle collision, equipment construction, and recovery work to the robots."
Hearing Haro's words, Luca's eyes immediately lit up, wishing he could start work right now.
If they could directly skip the pseudo Solar Furnace and build the genuine Solar Furnace, many previous concerns would no longer be an issue.
However, after Haro listed the subsequent plans, it quickly poured a bucket of cold Water on Luca.
Not to mention the manufacturing of the related Solar Furnace casing, phase capture, and a series of other equipment.
Just the manufacturing of robots for space work was not a small project.
'Forget it, forget it. Good things take time. This has already saved a lot of effort.'
After another full day of bustling in the laboratory, Luca finally put down his work and went back to rest as night deepened.
As for Haro...
'Why do robots need to rest? Just recharge, and it's fine~'
However, Luca, who was about to return to his bedroom, hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards the temporary medical ward.
'Sigh, I should still go and see.'
In the temporary ward, Gina was already resting and asleep, and White was obediently standing on a nearby storage box, charging himself.
However, when Luca scanned the ward, his gaze did not rest on the two of them.
Instead, his attention was suddenly drawn to a plate of apples on the coffee table.
"This... how is there a glowing apple?!"
