Me, Ultra Cub!Light of the Earth!

Ultraman!

Not the one he'd seen on screen and now known as the original.

It was a new fighter he had never seen before!

……

The morning was spent in physical training and intense data tests.

"How about Director Lai." The young man greeted with a smile, his eyes kept drifting to the report in Lai Mao's hand.

"Oh, you're here."

Lai Mao got up and stuffed the report into the young man's hand, his eyes paused for a moment on the golden ring on the middle finger of the young man's right hand, and then enthusiastically pointed to several changing data:

"The numbers are still growing, same old."

"Your physique is changing too fast, increasing at a high speed every day. If this continues, I doubt that you can fly into the sky without changing your body."

"Ahaha——, how can I, I'm not a Superman in underwear."

As soon as these words came out, Lei Xu found that Lai Mao looked at him with the condemning eyes of "Aren't you?"

a bit embarrassing.jpg

It was only then that Lei Xu realized that the sentence he just replied seemed... a bit ordinary?

Lei Xu scratched his head and couldn't find the right words to make things right for a while. Fortunately, Director Lai is a sophisticated middle-aged man. Seeing his embarrassment, he didn't continue the topic. Instead, he issued an order to chase away:

"Go, you go to the testing center now."

"Testing center?" Lei Xu looked surprised:

"What about the rest of the physical test?"

"Well, I won't do that today."

Lai Mao opened the drawer, xi took out the cigarette and the lighter in a habitual manner, and after a while began to puff:

"The testing center said that there are special testing items today, so please tell me to let you go there early."

Lei Xu walked away in a daze, and Lai Mao looked at his back, and slowly exhaled a wisp of blue-gray smoke.

In the lingering mist, several inaudible whispers drifted away with the smoke:

"What a young hero..."

13 Detection and... rocket launch?

L7 base, testing center.

"Today's test item... what is it?"

Lei Xu glanced over the newly added strange equipment and the busy scientists, and tentatively asked the research director in front of him.

The director, Qiao Ya, is an easy-going middle-aged scientist and the top person in charge of the testing center.

He doesn't have a specific research direction, but it is said that he is good at mediating conflicts and knows the progress of all aspects of the project. Lei Xu usually asks Qiao Ya about the situation.

"Well, it has something to do with your transformation time."

"Is it related to the transformation time?" Lei Xu cast a puzzled look at the middle-aged man.

The transformation test is done almost every day, and the time test is solved by the way. It needs to be done separately, so there must be something special about it.

Sure enough, Director Joya tapped the table with his knuckles, and after pondering for a moment, explained:

"Didn't you faint for 18 hours after you transformed last time? We want to see if we can artificially extend your transformation time."

"Artificial?"

Lei Xu's mind suddenly flashed some related Ultra series.

Masaki, Gondo, artificial sun, thank you guys...

Lei Xu's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, the technology of Rabbit Country has reached this level?

But before he continued to ask questions, Joya continued:

"Specifically, we want to simulate sunlight, ultraviolet rays, high-energy rays, and high-energy lasers."

That's it?

"I'm really sorry for disappointing you."

Seeing Lei Xu's disappointed eyes, Qiao Ya immediately understood that he wanted to go wrong, and replied angrily.

"Not only do you have to do these tests here, you are going to leave this evening, so you have to speed up."

"Tonight? Where are you going?"

Lei Xu couldn't help asking.

Joya glanced at him, pointed upwards,

"Heaven."

"Heaven?"

"You don't think that Amagi is really only equipped with a core observation module?"

Is not it?

Lei Xu looked at Qiao Ya in confusion.

"Oh yes, I was careless." Only then did Joya remember that this man was just an ordinary citizen not long ago, although he couldn't believe it.

So he explained more patiently and carefully:

"We want to compare your transformation time and energy consumption rate on Earth and in the universe, and test whether you can really survive in space by the way."

"Also—whether solar radiation can accelerate your recovery rate is still related to cosmic rays. It is also difficult to test the power of light. You need to find a suitable target in space.

If you can, go back and forth to the moon to see how fast your limit flight speed is, this is also to prepare for the next development plan..."

Director Qiao Ya's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was almost inaudible. Lei Xu was thinking, but he couldn't hear his last few words clearly.

But just for the previous ones, it is a bit inappropriate to continue to put the test site in the L7 base.

All right, Lei Xu pondered for a while, then slapped his thigh - he understood!

To sum it up in one sentence: Next, he needs to live on the Tiancheng for a period of time.

As for the development plan, this was proposed by Lei Xu himself-to build permanent underground support bases on Mars and the moon, in case of future invasions.

If possible, even if it can only serve as a diversionary force, it is necessary to limit the first wave of the enemy's invasion force outside the earth in the future. This is not Lei Xu's idea alone, but the common understanding of the staff attending the meeting.

Of course, the premise of the development plan is that Lei Xu can really travel the universe and meet the transportation capacity standards.

Like starting a business, the most difficult part of alien development is 0-1.

That is, how to transport the first batch of materials and equipment needed for development to the destination planet.

As long as the mining-smelting industry and planting industry in the foreign planet can be initially launched under the prerequisite of maintaining basic survival, the subsequent development will naturally be a matter of course.

That is to say, but with the current level of human science and technology, it is obviously still far away from the real alien development.

Simply for smelting, in an oxygen-deficient environment, the long-term energy supply and maintenance of electric furnaces is a key problem that cannot be solved.

Therefore, the so-called preparation is really just preparation.

The content is probably the early exploration and the like, and the main business is Lei Xu's own testing.

Oh yes, there is also the observation of those deliberate coordinate points in the starry sky-this is the mission of the core observation module.

"Go in~"

Qiao Ya pushed Lei Xu into a transparent cylinder with many unknown cylinders inlaid on the bulkhead, which he had never seen before, closed the hatch, and locked the valve with a click.

A voice came from above Lei Xu's head:

"This device simulates high-intensity ultraviolet rays, counts down for 10 seconds, and is ready to transform."

Lei Xu immediately tightened his mind, and when the countdown counted down to 0, he instantly transformed into a human-sized figure.

In the next second, a warm feeling came from all directions.

Is this high-intensity ultraviolet light?

It seems...it doesn't work.

Ten minutes later, the human-sized red Ultraman regained its human form.

Lei Xu frowned and walked out of the hatch:

"It seems nothing has changed?"

"Ah."

Qiao Ya obviously noticed this too, the test result was the same as before, but he was a little concerned about the warm feeling in Lei Xu's mouth.

Simply transforming into a human form, Lei Xu can last up to 10 minutes.

Also, if he has no extra activities, does not use any light skills.

Then, after about an hour, Lei Xu can transform again and maintain his human-sized Ultraman form for another 1 minutes.

Note: There is no limit to the number of times.

After getting bigger, the limit time to maintain the transformation is shortened to 1 minute and 30 seconds - it is now 1 minute and 31 seconds.

For the rest, they are in the same state as the body transformation, and can also transform infinitely, with an interval of about 1 hour.

Of course, the premise is that Lei Xu does not use any extra actions to consume energy - simply raising his hands and legs does not count.

Scientists speculate that Lei Xu's transformation time mainly depends on his own energy reserves - he will be very hungry after two consecutive transformations, no matter how full he ate before.

As for the so-called 3 minutes in most of the TV plot settings of Ao Te Te She.

The scientists looked at a bunch of Ultramans in the plot who ignored the 3-minute setting and played from noon to sunset, sunset to early morning, and early morning to dawn, lost in thought...

You call this 3 minutes?

Compared with the fixed time setting of 3 minutes, the energy consumption theory is more favored by scientists.

Previously, Lei Xu's success in prolonging the transformation time by 1 second also once again proved the energy consumption theory.
