Chapter 474 When Schiller Found a New Street Light (Part 2)

Before, Hal, who still had the green lantern ring, broke into Wayne Manor alone, and was caught by Alfred. The green lantern ring was dropped by Elsa and finally picked up by Dick.

The key lies in the link where the green lantern ring was dropped by Elsa. It has been explained before that the green lantern ring is equivalent to a safe, and the green lantern energy is stored in the safe.

Only the Lantern recognized by the green lantern ring can open the safe and take out the green lantern energy inside, which is part of the safety lock of the green lantern ring.

Ordinary people who have not been recognized by the ring cannot open the door of the safe and get the energy even if they wear the ring, and ordinary people have no way to crack the safety lock of the green lantern ring.

The process of Hal's ring being dropped, in detail, is that Hal used his identity as a Green Lantern to pass the safety lock certification and opened the door of the safe. When he was about to take something out of it, his hand was bitten by Elsa and the safe was thrown out.

But at this time, the safe was already open, and the power was constantly transmitting outward. Therefore, when Dick picked up the safe, he could immediately use the power of the Green Lantern. Even if he had not cracked the safety lock and had not been certified by the ring, he could still obtain some of the Green Lantern's abilities.

After listening to Dick's description of the whole process, Schiller guessed the principle, and the key was Aisha.

The Green Lantern Corps has been operating in the universe for so many years, and various safety measures are in place. It is almost unheard of that any ordinary person got lucky and picked up the ring and then killed all the people.

This kind of accident rarely happens, in fact, it is because the Green Lantern Ring has a relatively complete safety lock mechanism. As Hal said before, during the power transmission process, the ring will not fall off, even if the Lantern pulls the ring out himself.

But the only exception is Aisha.

Aisha is equivalent to the body of the yellow lantern beast Parallax Monster. Any material in this world may be a conductor of green lantern energy, but only excluding several other lantern beasts, green lantern energy cannot be transmitted through Aisha's body.

When Hal opened the door of the safe and was about to take out the things inside, Elsa bit his arm and blocked the energy of the green light. At this time, the door of the safe was still open.

So, when the ring was removed, a safe with the door wide open appeared. Even a child like Dick who had never been trained in willpower could use this energy.

Based on this principle, Schiller did an experiment.

There is no fixed standard for willpower, but in most cases, it is related to concentration, endurance, and control of one's emotions.

Different people have different willpower in different situations. If you break Batman's leg, he may not even hum, but if you break a pearl necklace in front of him...

Therefore, Schiller can achieve the willpower standard required by the green light by switching his different personalities. This is a simpler and more efficient method.

As expected, he called for a green lantern ring, but Schiller was different from Batman, who refused to wear a ring for the reason of "not wanting to rely on external forces". Since the ring was here, it was okay to wear it.

However, Schiller had no interest in wearing the ring to kill people. Long Aotian type traversers chose to have a full meal, smart traversers chose to have a full meal, and Schiller type traversers chose a new street lamp.

Schiller put on the green lantern ring, and then he used his willpower to open the lock of the safe, and then let Aisha grab his arm to block the energy of the green lantern, and then took off the ring. In this way, Hal's situation at that time was reproduced, and the green lantern ring he had became a safe with the lock opened.

Because the energy of the green lantern ring was always output when it was stuck, Dick would immediately activate his ability as soon as he picked up the ring. Schiller took advantage of this and directly output the energy of the ring to the kryptonite crystal that had been drained of energy after taking off the ring.

For the application of this new material, the idea is still the "color commonality" theory mentioned by Schiller at the beginning. The energy of green light is green, and the energy that generates radiation stored in kryptonite is also green. After the gray fog sucked the energy inside, the remaining colorless crystal was used by Schiller as a container of green light energy, and it was successful as expected.

However, Schiller did not transfer all the energy in the green light ring to the kryptonite crystal, but left a little energy for it.

Because Hal said at the time that the green light ring has a safety lock, and when the energy of the green light ring is in a hurry, it will actively return to the lamp furnace to recharge.

Although the green light ring that Hal dropped did not return to the lamp group to recharge smoothly because Dick barely controlled this energy, Schiller did not control his own ring, so the ring returned to the lamp furnace smoothly and recharged himself.

But at the same time, the ring was not lost, nor was it recovered by the lamp group. Its owner is still Schiller Rodriguez, so after being fully charged, it returned to Schiller.

Then, Schiller put the fully charged ring on his hand again, opened the door lock again, used Aisha to jam it again, extracted the energy again and poured it into the kryptonite crystal, and let it return to the lamp furnace to charge again...

What is very miraculous is that the energy of the green light that was extracted was completely preserved after being poured into the kryptonite crystal. This kind of crystal that can store special radiation seems to have some special properties that can ensure the green light. Energy does not spill out into the universe, but is always stored in crystals.

In this way, through his own small scientific experiments, Schiller basically understood the nature of the Green Lantern Corps, the Green Lantern Ring, the Green Lantern Furnace, and the Green Lantern Energy. With his excellent economic acumen and time-tested moral standards, he successfully obtained Green Lantern Corps fleece.

After hearing Schiller describe this process, everyone in Hal was dumbfounded.

Since this is around the 1990s, the phenomenon of stuck bugs is not that common, at least. Hal, who had no computer education background, had no idea how to describe this behavior.

"Actually, I'm cleaning up the mess for you." Schiller suddenly changed the subject and put the blame on Hal. Hal was stunned and said: "Clean up the mess for me. What happened to me?"

Schiller tapped the table with his finger and said, "It's because you didn't have any vigilance. When you got a strange ring, you dared to put it on your hand. When you received a strange order, you dared to carry it out."

"Not only did you sell the earth's information to aliens, but you even used the abilities they gave you to do whatever you want in Gotham..."

"I didn't do anything wrong! I..."

Looking at Schiller's eyes, Hal's voice became weaker and weaker. He lowered his head knowing that he was guilty, and tried not to think about the tragic situation underneath when he landed on the Gotham Central Turntable pretending to be a green light.

"However, the deal is now done. Your information has been handed over. The aliens may have circulated it in turn. The leak of the information is irreversible. So, we must at least recover some losses, right?"

"But, this is without other people's consent... um..."

"Did you agree to them giving you power?"

"Give me the strength to go through..."

"Of course." Schiller interrupted Hal and said:

"Before they gave you this power, did they inform you of the specific responsibilities corresponding to it? Did you obtain your consent when obtaining your personal details? Are there any privacy terms related to it? Before you use this power, are there any instructions on the possible risks of this power?”

"Let me give you an example, no one has informed you in any written or verbal form that using this kind of power while falling on human traffic light poles may cause the risk of traffic jams. Well, the traffic jam on Gotham Central Roundabout creates The loss is not your responsibility alone.”

"But, you have already said that they are aliens. Aliens should not understand the earth's set of contract terms and other things, right?"

"Because they don't understand the rules of the earth, but they rashly gave you this power, causing you to cause destruction on the earth. Who is responsible?"

"yes……"

Hal almost blurted out, but he touched his conscience and swallowed the rest of the words.

After Schiller said this, he was a little shaken. He remembered that when he got the green light ring, no one told him how to use this power so that he would not harm the people on earth.

In fact, Hal was a little aggrieved by being accused by Alfred and Batman of betraying Earth's information.

He was just an ordinary person, and suddenly divine power came from heaven, and the other party was righteous and righteous, so it was understandable that he did not expect that the other party might harbor evil intentions.

But now think about it, if a contract is written in a way that is beneficial to you, constantly giving you power, money, and the name of justice, and only needs you to help him with some small things, what do you think? They are all problematic, and the hidden risks must be too great to imagine.

"If there are such rules among aliens, but they don't tell you, this constitutes contract fraud. They deliberately deceived you."

"If there are no such rules among aliens, then aren't they more barbaric than humans? Why should you listen to them?"

Listening to Schiller's words, Hal fell into deep thought. Schiller continued: "It's the same sentence. It's a done deal now. Like all victims who have been deceived, the most important thing is not to be ashamed and blame themselves, but to get their money back." loss."

Schiller threw the green crystal in his hand to Hal. After Hal caught it, he picked it up and looked around.

Suddenly, he discovered that when he concentrated, the energy in the crystal spread up his arm. In less than a second, he transformed back into the Green Lantern with green light all over his body.

"You're free now, Hal."

Schiller raised his head, looked at the floating Hal, looked into his eyes and said: "You know? I once asked Batman a question..."

"What's the problem?" Hal also looked into Schiller's eyes.

"The justice you want to enforce, whose justice is it?"

Hal was floating in the air. As he was thinking, his expression gradually became serious and then determined.

He does not have a bizarre and tortuous life experience like Batman, but is just a kind and determined ordinary person. Therefore, the answer in his heart tells him that the justice given to him by anyone else is actually just a coat of justice. of power.

"Actually, I don't know yet...I don't know what justice is."

Hal gave an answer that Schiller did not expect, but he continued, "But I will use this power to pursue this answer. Before I get the answer, I will never stop, even if I spend my whole life for it."

Speaking of this, Hal slowly fell down, and the green light on his body faded, but it did not disappear, but returned to the crystal again. Obviously, after strengthening his belief, his control over the energy of the green light has reached a new level.

"Your ideal is great, and I also believe that with your willpower, you can practice justice, but the only problem is that in the process of practice, we may need a lot of funds..."

"Funds? But I don't have money..."

Just when he said this, Hal paused, and then his eyes fell on the green crystal on the table.

"But fortunately, I have prepared our start-up capital."

"Prepared, how did you prepare it..."

"I've said it before, they breached the contract first, so it's only right for us to charge a little liquidated damages."

Hal suddenly had a bad feeling, he stared at Schiller and asked:

"...How much did you charge?"

Hal saw Schiller bend down. A large box was dragged out from the bottom of the coffee table - inside it was a mountain of green crystals.

At the headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps, the corps commander in green uniform stood in front of a huge furnace, turned his head to look at his subordinates, and asked in confusion:

"The power of the furnace at the headquarters has been depleted very badly recently, do you have any clues?"
