Howard said confidently as he stepped into the interior of the fortress, leading Kyle and Lucy in front.
Inside the fortress, the floor was smooth and clean, the daytime lights above the head were turned on one by one, and the projection screen flickered in the hall with blurry light and shadow.
Walking in the spacious metal corridor, Kyle felt like he was walking in a spaceship in a movie. The interior style was full of advanced technology, from which it can be seen that it was undoubtedly designed by Howard, the technology fanatic.
"There are a total of fifty independent rooms on the first floor of the fortress building. They are all equipped according to the highest standards of the hotel and can be provided to ordinary family members. They can only obtain the right to use the rooms after entering their personal information with Jarvis. There are five core member rooms and three VIP rooms on the second floor. There is also a control room that stores a supercomputer and a round table conference room for family meetings."
"The top floor is the only master bedroom, and currently you are the only one who has access." Howard paused here and looked at Lucy next to Kyle.
"Then let's upgrade Lucy's authority level." Kyle said calmly, while Lucy blushed and was speechless.
"Each floor of the fortress building, including the rooms, requires a sufficient level of authority to enter. The top three floors are daily living areas. There's nothing special about them. I'll take you down there to have a look."
Howard smiled mysteriously and led the two to the elevator on the first floor.
The elevator is located in the very center of the fortress building. It is cylindrical and appears to be made of pure glass. It is transparent enough to see the outside, with only some inconspicuous metal frames and steel cables.
"Jarvis, slow down the elevator so we can take a closer look at the underground buildings of the fortress."
Howard gave instructions, and the semi-artificial intelligence butler system identified the user's authority while analyzing the content of his instructions with a set of system programs.
'Roger that, sir.'
The elevator closed, started with a slight tremor, and slowly descended downwards with the three people inside.
"This is..." Kyle opened his eyes wide.
What came into view was hollow darkness. The bottom of the three-story fortress building was actually hollow!
No, it should be said that the island mountain where the fortress is located has been hollowed out, and a basement far more spacious than the upper level has been built downwards.
The elevator was in the middle of the dark void, moving slowly downwards. All the lights in the first basement suddenly lit up, like a bright halo surrounding the elevator.
"The first floor of the basement is a training room that can accommodate hundreds of people for training at the same time. It has a physical exercise room, a gun room, a fighting room..."
Before Howard finished speaking, Kyle asked excitedly, "Is there a gravity room?"
The gravity room is the perfect place for superhuman physical training!
"Of course there is no shortage of the gravity room you requested." Howard shrugged, stroked his mustache proudly and said, "After my improvements, that gravity room can accommodate up to ten people for training, and can reach up to twelve times the gravity!"
"Twelve times?" Kyle was extremely surprised. This was a gravity multiple that even he could not adapt to. Not to mention those card players who had just obtained super agent abilities, even Logan, Natasha and others had to walk on their stomachs when they came in.
Howard nodded and said, "In fact, it can be increased to fifteen times, but twelve times is already large enough. For ordinary people, three times is at the limit of trainable adaptation."
"Fifteen times... it'll kill people!" Lu Xi patted her chest in fear.
Kyle nodded. Fifteen times is already a life-forbidden zone for ordinary people.
The terrifying pressure and gravity will crush a person to the ground. Even if he does not die immediately, the blood circulation in the body will be blocked, and even the brain will be deprived of blood and oxygen when standing.
The elevator continued to go down, arriving at and passing through the second underground floor.
"This must be the Science Strategy Research Lab," Kyle said with a smile. Through the transparent elevator, he could vaguely see a lot of scientific research equipment in the several lit rooms.
"That's right. The second underground floor is a research laboratory in the forefront of science. It is currently my dedicated office area. After the cooperation with Wakanda, new elemental energy, artificial intelligence, etc. will be manufactured and improved here."
Howard's words were equivalent to tying his future to the family territory on this island.
He knew that although the Dragon Turtle Island itself was located in the distant open sea, after the installation of a fixed portal, it would become very convenient to enter and exit Stark Industries and Wakanda.
Safe, secluded, well-equipped, and convenient for travel, this is Howard's dream research location.
"Here, I can explore scientific truths with peace of mind." Howard rubbed his palms together, suppressing his inner excitement. He wished he could go in right now and continue the unfinished accelerated experimental production of new elements.
Kyle was his guide, constantly opening doors of truth in the field of science for him.
Wakanda's abundant advanced scientific resources, Kyle's future technology products and theories, the stable and comfortable research site on the Dragon Turtle Island, and the infinite equation that prolongs one's lifespan...
Howard was also surprised to find that he had officially embarked on an unknown scientific path that surpassed countless scientists before him.
Under such good environment and conditions, even a pig, given enough time, can peek into the door of scientific truth.
Not to mention Howard, a genius engineer who believes his qualifications are no worse than any top scientist in history.
"Kyle, if you go into space, it will be the worst outcome - you will never come back. I will work hard to explore the scientific truth and try to save you with the power of science and technology."
Howard looked at Kyle solemnly, his tone serious and firm.
After witnessing the metaphysical magic that transcends space, Howard did not abandon science, but became even more obsessed and fanatical.
He didn't believe that the technological power that had reached the end of the universe could not transcend space or even reverse time and space.
"Okay, man, it's settled." Kyle hugged Lucy, whose face was sad, with one hand, patted Howard's shoulder, and said sincerely: "The Karl family is now in your hands."
The road paved for the Karl family has basically been paved—
It's time to put aside all worries and embark on the path he should take.
Chapter 151 Three Days
Another month passed.
The Karl family, including the Karl disciples and above, all secretly moved to the base fortress on the Dragon Turtle Island through the portal.
The original old manor was left as a base for the family to secretly train new people, and it was also an indirect way to look after the Winter Soldier who was frozen and sleeping in the basement of the manor.
During this period of time, Kyle once again endowed ten card disciples with the [Super Agent] card, and used special materials to create a third fixed portal to connect the island base, Stark Industries, and Wakanda, three places far apart from each other.
At the same time, his genetic mutation could no longer be concealed from other members of the Carl family. After all, although there were no major abnormalities in his physical condition, his brilliant golden hair had completely turned into a silver-white color, a sign of illness.
In about six months, Kyle will face the physique of a super soldier. The irreversible nuclear radiation in his body will force his genes to mutate, and his body will collapse and disintegrate, leading to functional death.
Logan, Yutong, and Natasha were all shocked and unable to believe the serious news. It took them a long time to gradually accept this subversive fact.
Kyle, they follow the head of the family to whom they pledge allegiance.
He is recognized as the strongest man in the world. He has always fought on the battlefield as a super soldier. From being a new recruit to retiring as a major general, he has a 100% victory rate in all battles, big or small!
With his own strength, he turned the tide of the war, killed the Hydra organization, and forced the Samurai Kingdom to surrender.
This legendary figure standing at the top of the pyramid, a symbol of peace known as a god-level hero, now that World War II has ended and everyone is yearning for peace and pursuing happiness, his body still has a terminal illness from the war...
It's like becoming an elderly person. As the end of the world approaches, the genes in the body mutate faster and faster, and the physical condition becomes unstable and even loses superpowers for a short period of time every day.
After Lucy personally told them the news, Logan and Yutong immediately went to Kyle to verify it, and they said in unison that they were willing to leave the earth with him and go to the starry universe.
Kyle rejected all of them.
