The video quickly finished playing.
At this time, Witt Oss had already recorded the scene of the Stark Industries exhibition in the image and simulated it.
"Witt Oss, convert the exhibition model into a digital wireframe, remove the green belt, remove the parking lot and entrances, mark the buildings as protons and neutrons, and then structure the wireframe model."
A brand new atomic model quickly appeared in front of Shimizu.
"An isotope of palladium, the structure is very reasonable. It predicted a brand new element more than thirty years ago that has never appeared before."
Shimizu scrutinized the atomic structure model in front of him.
"No, it's not necessarily based on pure reasoning and prediction."
Shimizu slapped his head and dragged out a safe covered with sealing techniques from the corner of the laboratory.
The sealing technique was lifted, the password was entered, and the safe was opened.
Two rays of blue light appeared.
One was a fragment previously pried from the Tesseract.
The other was also the shell of an Infinity Stone.
The Mind Stone on the Scepter, this thing is also blue. The Mind Stone was previously inside the Scepter.
Shimizu had previously done some research on these two things. The original plan was to create magical artifacts.
The Mind Stone and the Tesseract fragment were placed on two scanners respectively.
"Witt Oss, use X-ray diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy to scan the microscopic material structure of these two things. I want to see their atomic structures."
After a while.
The atomic structures of the Mind Stone and the Tesseract fragment were scanned, and Witt Oss displayed the models in front of Shimizu.
"46 protons, 60 neutrons, also an isotope of palladium. The atomic model is consistent with the one Howard left behind. As expected."
Shimizu then looked at the atomic structure of the Mind Stone on the other side.
"44 protons, 57 neutrons, an isotope of ruthenium?"
Shimizu then pulled up the atomic structure model of normal ruthenium metal.
There was indeed a big difference.
"They are all platinum group elements... There are six platinum group elements, and there are also six Infinity Stones. Could it be that isotopes of these six elements are all byproducts of the Infinity Stones? No, it should be that the Infinity Stones have created these six substances, and the Starks used technology to synthesize one of them, which existed in scientific theory but could previously only be generated by the Infinity Stones, through artificial means, mimicking its atomic structure."
His thoughts continued to diverge.
"Then why is it these two platinum group elements, and not other substances?"
He could try experimenting.
He had a Mind Stone in his possession.
There was no ruthenium metal at the Water Manor.
But Osborn had reserves. It was just a matter of making a phone call.
Soon, a batch of ruthenium was sent to the laboratory at the Water Manor.
Shimizu took a small grain of silver-white ruthenium metal, placed it on the experimental apparatus, and then cast a spell to activate the Eye of Watter hanging around his neck, injecting a large amount of energy from the Mind Stone into it.
The silver-white metal particles slowly changed under the illumination of the yellow gemstone energy.
Time slowly passed.
Several hours later.
Shimizu couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.
The silver-white metal particles in front of him had now undergone some changes.
During the several hours of energy oscillation, the ruthenium metal absorbed a large amount of energy belonging to the Mind Stone, and deep bright blue spots and nebula-like patterns began to appear on the surface. The color looked very close to the Mind Stone, but it was much dimmer.
Shimizu listened quietly to a long string of reports and continued to the next step of the work.
Over the next two days, Shimizu also tried other metals, including the other five platinum group elements.
Six sets of experimental data were placed in front of Shimizu.
Five of them were useless. Those platinum group metals quickly expanded into a honeycomb shape after the Mind Stone energy was injected.
Only ruthenium metal could better accept and store the energy of the Mind Stone, causing the internal atomic structure to recombine in constant fission and fusion, eventually forming this isotope of ruthenium metal.
As for other elements, perhaps because of the atomic structure, or perhaps for other reasons, the energy of the Mind Stone could not be stored in large quantities for a long time after being injected, and it could not undergo the correct evolution.
Even if the energy was forcibly fixed inside with sealing techniques, it would only nuclear react into other elements.
"The dense hexagonal crystal structure of ruthenium can better adapt to the energy oscillations of the Mind Stone. The Fermi level coincides with part of the harmonic wave spectrum of the Mind Stone. Is that why it can react with the energy of the Mind Stone?"
Shimizu rubbed his temples as he looked at the strings of data.
If that was the case, then the Mind Stone, the Tesseract, and these things should not be byproducts of the Infinity Stones, but substances created by them.
Shimizu speculated that in the billions of years of cosmic evolution, only these specific platinum group elements could be affected by the gemstone energy, and eventually continue to attract and deposit, forming structures like the Tesseract and the Mind Stone in the macroscopic material world due to the crystal system of atomic arrangement.
He felt like he had made a pretty amazing discovery.
Didn't this mean that there were four new elements corresponding to the other four Infinity Stones waiting for him to discover?
He had an opportunity to borrow the Time Stone from the Ancient One to see if he could use the other four platinum group elements to create new elements.
Well, maybe he didn't need to borrow it. After he rightfully took over the Time Stone after the Sorcerer Supreme Memorial Cup Singer Competition, he could do it himself.
However, although there was a great discovery, this was not the purpose of Shimizu's great effort.
Even if the result was great, it was only a byproduct, and it was still a result that could not be used currently—
He at least had to first find a way to synthesize the palladium metal isotope through artificial synthesis.
After all, he didn't have the Space Stone, and neither did his main body nor his incarnations in other worlds.
Shimizu fell into contemplation again.
Synthesizing new elements definitely required the use of a particle accelerator.
But it was definitely not as simple as just a particle accelerator.
To synthesize palladium, a particle accelerator could be used to accelerate particles and then bombard the target atom, causing it to fission or fuse, giving birth to new elements.
Using this method to synthesize palladium was not difficult, but the difficulty lay in how to make the generated palladium have such an atomic structure.
This step had plagued Howard Stark for many years, and he ultimately believed that it could not be solved in his era, so he left it to Tony.
This also stumped Shimizu somewhat.
His current technological capabilities are already very high. Even relying solely on existing knowledge and resources, his research capabilities would place him among the top scientists in human society.
However, in terms of creativity, especially in designing experiments and theoretical deduction and simulation, he still has a significant gap compared to someone like Tony, whose intelligence is almost superhuman.
"This structure..."
Qingshui also had Weitus display the atomic structure of normal palladium for comparison, to see if adjusting the atomic structure of normal palladium could transform it into the structure of a new element, and then design experiments based on the transformation process.
However, after reviewing SHIELD's experimental records from the past few decades, he discovered that the methods he could think of had already been tried by SHIELD's scientists.
Damn it.
No clue!
Should he just ask Tony to be his external brain?
But how could he get Tony to hand over the technology to him?
Qingshui silently turned his gaze to the Mind Stone, and that grain of ruthenium metal mixed with isotopes.
Another new element should interest Tony.
And he could use Tony's clever brain to help him study the effects of this new element and how to synthesize it artificially.
Otherwise, relying solely on stimulating the gem to slowly produce it bit by bit would be too tiring and troublesome.
Qingshui's luck has been pretty good recently.
Before he could go to Tony, Tony came looking for him first.
One day later.
Above New York, a gold and red armored figure soared through the sky.
"Jarvis, send a message to Weitus, I'm going to the Water Manor."
"Temporary security clearance granted."
A dozen seconds later.
The private jet landing pad at Water Manor.
The afterburners of the Iron Man armor extinguished, and then it automatically opened from the middle, revealing Tony Stark, dressed in a suit and strutting with a flamboyant gait.
"Mr. Stark, please have some tea."
In the living room, the butler Jorge placed a tray of tea on the table.
"Oh, okay, do you have anything to eat here? I suddenly realized I haven't had lunch yet. Could I get a cheeseburger?"
"Would you like it made fresh or would you like us to order one?"
"Uh... I prefer the one from Broadway."
"I understand. The burger will be delivered within half an hour. Master is waiting for you in the laboratory and has already granted you access."
Jorge gave an elegant bow and then withdrew to instruct the manor staff to buy the burger.
A minute later.
In the laboratory.
"Seventeenth experiment, prism deflection angle error, proton aggregation failed, preparing for the eighteenth experiment, Weitus, record the experimental data, recalculate."
In the messy laboratory.
Qingshui looked at another particle accelerator that had been burned out and sighed slightly.
No new palladium isotopes appeared on the mass spectrometer.
"Are you... conducting heavy element synthesis?"
Tony, watching this scene, walked to Qingshui's side with interest, looked at the various data recorded on the computer, and then his expression changed.
"Are you trying to copy me again?"
"Bullshit, I'm just continuing the research of my predecessors."
"That predecessor?"
"Your dad."
Tony: ...
Right, this guy became the director of SHIELD, so he must have seen the videos left by his father, Howard Stark.
Soon, a mocking expression appeared on Tony's face.
"Hmph, palladium isotopes, I made that five years ago. I succeeded in one try back then, and you haven't succeeded after seventeen attempts."
"Did you come here just to mock me? Then you can get lost after you finish your cheeseburger."
Qingshui swiped through the holographic projection, planning the next experiment.
"I'm here to find you for cooperation."
Tony said, getting down to business.
"Oh?"
"I've been researching nanotechnology recently, so I was thinking of acquiring a few relevant laboratories and companies that are still passable, but I found that everything I liked has been acquired by you.
At this time, I also thought that you seem to be using high-precision nanorobot technology to generate molecular-level factories to manufacture hydrogen-saturated palladium metal. This shows that your nanotechnology has reached a relatively mature stage, and perhaps it can save me a few years of detours."
Without the existing technology of those companies, Tony could actually create it with his own level.
But he would need to spend a lot of time learning and overcoming difficulties on his own, and for Tony, this time could be avoided.
"Then how do you want to cooperate?"
"I hadn't thought about it on the way here, but now I have. I just feel like it might be a bit of a loss. I only need five years of your nanotechnology, no, three years to surpass it, but my second-generation arc reactor..."
"Damn it, who are you looking down on?"
"I don't mean to look down on you. After all, you are one of the few people whose technical skills I can still respect, but your direction is wrong. If you continue with your current thinking, you will only waste time like those SHIELD scientists, and you won't be able to research any results in another ten years."
Qingshui frowned slightly, then quickly relaxed.
Good, he was still worried about how to trick the second-generation arc reactor technology from this guy, and let this guy work for him by the way.
He didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly.
So Qingshui put on a slightly embarrassed look and then said:
"Okay, I happen to have a new achievement here, I think you should be very interested."
"I should be very interested? I don't like everything. Why don't you exchange your cryo-freezing technology with me? I have an idea to combine your cryo-technology with my arc reactor technology to achieve superconducting positive feedback, so that we can easily build a spaceship that can colonize the solar system..."
"No, that would be a loss for me, because I have already overcome the technology you mentioned. Water Group will start launching my private space station tomorrow."
To be precise, it was Victor who overcame this technology. The Justice League's space observatory there has also been rebuilt, and they are also preparing to build a branch base on the moon.
Qingshui was just copying the work.
Tony raised his eyebrows.
"Okay, then what do you want to show?"
"I'm the same as your dad."
Tony: ???
"Weitus, File Library No. 109, file name Ruthenium."
Qingshui extracted a file from the holographic projection and threw it to Tony.
The latter opened the file, clicked it lightly, and immediately saw the atomic structure diagram of that ruthenium isotope, and then extracted it and enlarged it.
"You also discovered a new element, an element that has never been discovered on Earth in the past, this proton number and neutron number... is it an isotope of ruthenium?"
