Seizing the Future!
The echoes of laughter and conversation faded as Maxim descended into the cool, dimly lit basement of the safe house. As he moved into the basement, the air turned from the scent of pizza to the faint hum of machinery.
Dinner time was over, and now it was time for Maxim to return to his relentless pursuit of power. The basement had been completely transformed over the past week. It was now a high-tech laboratory brimming with advanced technology and equipment.
The walls were lined with shelves holding various small gadgets and materials, some recognizable, others not so much.
In the center of the room, a large, metallic sphere pulsed softly with a blue glow, the vibranium he had obtained, suspended in a containment field, awaiting its fate.
Maxim moved to his work-desk, a sleek, custom-built workstation outfitted with a triple monitor setup. The screens were alive with data, graphs, schematics, and lines of code scrolled rapidly across the displays.
He took a deep breath and sat down, his eyes narrowing as he focused on the tasks at hand. He had dozens of different plans, different ideas that he was all working on simultaneously, so he had no time to lose.
Every day was a constant stream of training and work. He was running on 2 hours of sleep every day, because that was all he really wanted. He didn't need to sleep at all, but he still wanted to enjoy the little things in life.
Focusing up, he looked towards the first monitor, which displayed detailed molecular structures and simulation results for graphene and vibranium composites.
Maxim had been experimenting with different combinations, trying to find the perfect balance between strength, flexibility, energy conductivity and Cosmic Power. Vibranium was useful, but Maxim didn't have unlimited quantities, so he needed to be smart.
Researching various materials, Maxim came up on Graphene. In Killjoy and Alex's world, it was an extremely famous material, the basis of many technological advancements, but to Marvel world, it wasn't explored at all as of yet.
Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, and had many uses. It had approximately 200 times the strength of steel, making it exceptionally useful.
It also had properties such as a high electrical conductivity, which could be useful in creating gadgets, thermal conductivity, transparency, and it was flexible and lightweight, meaning it didn't restrict movement whatsoever.
This made Graphene the basis of many of Maxim's technological advancements, since he couldn't rely on his limited amount of Vibranium for everything.
Vibranium would be for the most important things, with Graphene being a supplementary material and main material in less important innovations. That was what Maxim came up with.
Switching to the second monitor, it was filled with complex code, the code for an AI system that he was developing to manage his plans, Madripoor and help him with all of his work.
The third screen was filled with blueprints for various designs, from intricate weapons such as Chamber's HeadHunter and Tour de Force in Valorant, to tight fitting specialized combat suits for the future Black Widows Maxim was planning to recruit.
~CLICK~CLICK~CLICK!
Maxim reached over and tapped a few keys, bringing up a detailed 3D model of his planned Super-Suit. It was a masterpiece of engineering, sleek, form-fitting, and layered with hexagonal plating that shifted in color depending on its function.
The Suit was built almost entirely out of Vibranium Nanotechnology, since that would provide the most power. Vibranium had the ability to negate physical damage on a molecular level as kinetic energy would be absorbed
With Nanotech, Maxim could carry this Super-Suit with him at all times, and it could also repair itself constantly mid battle. It also meant the Suit could have a variety of functions one wouldn't expect from looking at it.
Maxim designed the suit to absorb all the kinetic energy and pulse it out when he wants, similar to Black Panther in his own movie.
He also added in various features like Sound Nullification, and a Communication System that he'd match up with his allies and future AI in the design.
The Suit would also be imbued with Cosmic Power from Astra, which would allow it to conduct higher level energies and regulate Maxim's power, alongside improving all of the suit's base capabilities.
However, Maxim needed to make sure the design was absolutely perfect, as it wouldn't be easy imbuing Cosmic Power into a suit.
This Suit would be a culmination of all of Maxim's knowledge, perfect tool for combat, in both offense and defense, perfect flexibility, capable of handling any environment and enemy.
But there was still more work to be done. The vibranium core needed to be integrated seamlessly, and he was still refining the nanotech weave that would allow the suit to repair itself in real-time.
Maxim's fingers flew over the keyboard as he adjusted parameters, rerunning simulations and analyzing the results. His mind was a whirlwind of calculations and possibilities, each adjustment bringing him one step closer to perfection.
This would be a-lot easier if he had finally finished his AI, but that would take a bit longer, maybe two or three weeks before it was fully perfected, but Maxim had time.
It was currently early December, and there was still 6 months give or take unless the battle of New York.
Maxim's plan was to take the December - January period to finish his suit and AI, and begin planning for New York.
He needed to take the Mind Stone and Tesseract at that time, and he also needed to begin planning for the Red Room, and Madripoor since all those plans would begin right after the NYC battle.
He brought up another window on the third monitor, this one displaying a list of equations and theoretical models for weapons and combat gear.
The concept he was considering wasn't entirely uncharted territory, there were hints of similar ideas in some of Alex's memories, from various sci-fi universes and fictional materials.
As he worked, the hours slipped away unnoticed. The basement lab was a environment of silence and focus, the only sounds the quiet hum of machinery and the occasional click of keys.
Finally, he paused, his fingers hovering over the keyboard. The initial setup was complete, the parameters defined, and the simulations ready to run. He took a deep breath and hit the Enter key.
The monitors flared with light as the simulation began, a cascade of numbers and graphs filling the screens.
Maxim watched intently as the virtual experiment unfolded. The vibranium and graphene particles collided, their atomic structures interweaving in a complex dance of energy and matter.
The process of using them to create Nanotechnology was begun, alongside the infusing of Cosmic Power into their very cores, the simulation continued onwards as every piece moved together.
Maxim's heart raced as the simulation completed, the final readout appearing on the screen. He leaned forward, his eyes scanning the data.
The results were incredible, exceeding his wildest expectations.Its tensile strength was off the charts, its energy absorption capacity nearly limitless and it can redistribute kinetic force perfectly and efficiently.
The Nanotechnology was perfectly made, and according to the simulation, the imbuing of Cosmic Power went extremely well, enhancing the suit's already outrageous abilities.
He leaned back in his chair, a rare smile spreading across his face. It wasn't perfect yet, but it was a breakthrough. With this, he could build a suit that was not just durable, but almost indestructible, a true extension of his will and power.
He stood, stretching his arms above his head, his muscles stiff from hours of work. The lab lights flickered softly, casting long shadows across the floor.
Tomorrow, he would begin the simulations and work on the actual fabrication process, and continue working on his AI and the designs for various weapons, but for now, he wanted to rest.
As he headed back upstairs, his mind was already racing ahead, visualizing the next steps. The suit, the weapons, the AI, all the pieces were falling into place.
The future was his for the taking. And Maxi intended to seize it with both hands.
