Outskirts of New York, abandoned industrial zone.
Xiao Han stood on a desolate open space, surrounded by collapsed walls and rusted machinery.
This was once the site of a chemical factory, now only concrete ruins and overgrown weeds remained.
"System, bring up my ability panel," he murmured in his mind.
[Ding! Host ability panel has been generated]
[Host: Xiao Han]
[Current Ability: Complete Steel Body (Growable)]
[Strength Level: Can easily lift millions of tons of objects (Growable)]
[Defense Level: Immune to conventional physical attacks, can withstand the impact of a nuclear explosion epicenter without injury, magic resistance is relatively weaker than physical defense, except for high-level magicians like Ancient One; ordinary magicians can be ignored]
[Speed Level: Up to 0.3c in space, 200 Mach within the atmosphere]
[Energy Reserve: Continuously charging from yellow Sun radiation, current energy level 97%]
[Special Abilities: Heat Vision (maximum temperature is the Sun's surface), Freezing Breath (approaching Absolute Zero), Biofield (can protect or control contact objects), X-Ray Vision (can penetrate all substances except lead), Super Hearing (global directional listening available)]
[Weakness: Kryptonite can cause the host to weaken, and in severe cases, Death; but the host can ignore this weakness, as long as you don't want to die, no one can attack you with Kryptonite, not even smoke, Biofield can block it.]
Xiao Han nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping around.
He needed to test his abilities, but he couldn't attract the attention of S.H.I.E.L.D. or HYDRA.
"First, test strength."
He walked to an abandoned concrete building, placing one hand on the wall.
His Biofield expanded, enveloping the entire structure of the building. Then, he gently lifted it.
Boom!
The entire building was lifted by his single hand, the steel bars emitting a piercing screech of distortion, but under his precise Biofield control, not a single piece of rubble fell.
"The weight is about 8,000 tons, completely effortless," Xiao Han muttered to himself. Although the system had clearly stated his strength, he wouldn't feel at ease without personally trying it.
[Strength test completed, current lifting limit: not yet reached maximum]
He gently placed the building back in its original position, the ground showing no significant vibration.
"Next is speed."
Xiao Han took a deep breath, his legs slightly bent, and then.
Bang!
A sonic boom cloud exploded, and his figure instantly disappeared.
19 seconds later, he was already standing above the Atlantic Ocean, overlooking the sea below.
"Too fast," Xiao Han murmured in a daze, "System, calculate my speed just now."
[Speed test result: Approximately 180 Mach.]
[Warning: High-speed movement will generate sonic booms and heat radiation, which may be detected by satellites, but the host does not need to worry. The Biofield can control it to not make a sound.]
Xiao Han nodded, adjusted his posture, and quickly returned to the outskirts of New York.
"Test Heat Vision and Freezing Breath."
He looked at a small hill in the distance, his eyes slightly focused.
Sizzle!
Two hair-thin red beams shot out, precisely cutting through the mountainside, and the rocks silently melted into lava.
Immediately after, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
Whoosh!
An extremely cold airflow swept through, and the lava instantly froze into glassy black crystals.
"Good control," Xiao Han nodded with satisfaction, "System, bring up the energy consumption data."
[Heat Vision (low power): Energy consumption 0.01%]
[Freezing Breath (single use): Energy consumption 0.005%]
"Almost negligible," Xiao Han smiled, "So, what about Super Hearing?"
He closed his eyes and concentrated.
Instantly, countless sounds flooded his ears.
Police sirens in New York City, the clamor of crowds, the roar of the subway.
Further away, political debates in Washington D.C., and radio communications from military Bases.
Even a secret meeting on the other side of the Earth.
Xiao Han's Super Brain automatically filtered out S.H.I.E.L.D.-related communications.
He began to search for targets, and soon, he caught a piece of encrypted conversation.
"HYDRA Base destroyed, energy readings abnormal."
"No witnesses, all surveillance is down."
"Director Fury requested continued investigation, but there are too few clues."
The corner of Xiao Han's mouth curved slightly.
It seemed S.H.I.E.L.D. was indeed looking for him, but they had no clue.
He tried to monitor HYDRA's communications again, but their encryption technology was stronger, and he could only catch fragmented information:
"Winter Soldier on standby."
"Target may possess Super Speed."
"Plan to prepare in advance."
"Indeed, HYDRA is more vigilant than S.H.I.E.L.D.," Xiao Han opened his eyes, "But they haven't found me either."
He decided to test another ability, Super Brain.
"System, retrieve the technology tree of the current World, focus: energy technology, materials science."
[Ding! Analyzing…]
[Marvel Universe technology level: Some areas far exceed the real World]
[Key Technologies: Arc Reactor (Tony Stark), Vibranium (Wakanda), Pym Particles (Hank Pym), Super Soldier Serum (Dr. Erskine's legacy)]
Xiao Han narrowed his eyes.
"If I can master these technologies and combine them with my abilities."
He thought for a moment and decided to access the core technologies of this World.
Xiao Han stood in the center of the dilapidated chemical factory, surrounded by silence, only the wail of the wind blowing through rusted metal.
He closed his eyes, feeling the surging power within him.
Steel Body granted him almost invincible defense, and Super Brain gave him almost limitless learning potential.
But at this moment, he realized a problem.
He didn't truly understand the principles of these technologies.
"If I want to establish myself in this World, brute force alone is not enough, I need true knowledge."
So, the first step, basic science!
He took a deep breath, his eyes slightly focused, and Super Vision activated.
New York Public Library.
His vision penetrated dozens of kilometers, locking onto the book collection area within the library.
The text on the bookshelves was clearly discernible in his eyes; even the tiniest printed characters could be magnified and analyzed by his Super Vision.
"University Physics," "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics," "Fundamentals of Biochemistry."
His pupils contracted slightly, his optic nerves scanning each page at a speed far beyond that of ordinary people, his Super Brain absorbing information like a sponge.
Molecular structures, electromagnetic theory, thermodynamic laws, DNA encoding…
This knowledge flowed into his consciousness like a torrent, but he did not feel confused.
On the contrary, his mind integrated this information with astonishing efficiency, building a complete scientific cognitive system.
A few minutes later, he had mastered the entire framework of human basic science.
So, the second step, advanced technology, reverse engineering.
Now, he needed something deeper.
Target, MIT Laboratory.
Super Vision penetrated the walls, locking onto a high-level laboratory still operating late into the night.
Graduate students were debugging a miniature nuclear magnetic resonance imager, and complex quantum computing models scrolled across the computer screen.
Xiao Han's gaze swept over every line of code, every experimental parameter, his brain automatically deducing the principles behind them.
"So that's it, the confinement field for controllable nuclear fusion is constructed this way."
He didn't need experimental equipment, because his Super Brain itself was the most powerful simulator.
He could construct virtual laboratories in his consciousness and deduce any possible experimental results.
Next, the third step, Marvel World's black technology.
Now, he was ready to access the unique technologies of this World.
Stark Industries' Arc Reactor.
His vision spanned the city, locking onto the private laboratory on the top floor of Stark Tower.
Although he didn't know why Stark Tower had already appeared, Xiao Han guessed it should be a variable in a parallel Universe.
Tony Stark was adjusting the output power of the new generation reactor.
Xiao Han's Super Vision penetrated the core, observing the flow of plasma and the arrangement of the energy conversion matrix.
His brain automatically analyzed the physical laws within it and deduced a more optimized structure.
"Palladium is just a transition; the real breakthrough should be…"
His mind raced, constructing a brand new reactor model in his mind, more efficient and stable than Stark's version.
Molecular structure of Vibranium.
His gaze turned to the United Nations headquarters; a small sample of Vibranium was hidden in the Wakandan diplomat's suitcase.
Super Vision adjusted to atomic-level resolution, and the unique crystal lattice structure of Vibranium was fully visible in his eyes.
"The vibration frequency of this metal, can it absorb kinetic energy?"
He tried to simulate the properties of Vibranium in his mind, deducing its behavior under different conditions.
Soon, he understood its working principle and even began to conceive how to artificially synthesize similar materials.
Quantum effects of Pym Particles.
Finally, his gaze locked onto Hank Pym's old warehouse.
The data logbook of the Pym Particles experiment was locked in a safe, but it posed no obstacle to Xiao Han's X-Ray Vision.
He observed the quantum tunneling effect of the particles, his brain automatically calculating the mathematical laws of their spatial compression.
"So shrinking is not a reduction in mass, but rather dimensional folding…"
He began to deduce independently.
When dawn arrived, Xiao Han opened his eyes, a confident smile appearing on his lips.
He did not rely on the system, nor did he leave any traces of intrusion; relying solely on his Super Brain and Super Vision, he completed a comprehensive learning journey from basic science to cutting-edge technology.
Now, he not only possessed the power of Steel Body but also mastered knowledge capable of changing the World.
"Next," he looked towards the distant skyline, "it's time to do some experiments."
