Chapter 12
"Oh my God, is this guy crazy? To put something so dangerous under Brooklyn?" Middle-aged Peter shouted.
Shadow Spider-Man, on the other hand, sneered, "That's the way of the capitalists. They only care about their own interests, not about the safety of others. Maybe he's just waiting for a disaster to happen so he can make a profit."
"Make a profit? How?" Spider-Ham wondered.
Shadow Spider-Man said, "These capitalists have more than one industry under their name, so maybe there's something about food, medicine, construction, etc.? It's a profitable industry in the midst of a disaster."
Gwen looked at Shadow Spider-Man, "Looks like you deal with them a lot."
Shadow Spider-Man shrugged, "To be precise, I only deal with them."
"Be quiet you guys!" Penny turned her head with some cute annoyance.
"Sorry, sorry," Shadow Spider-Man and middle-aged Peter hastened to apologise.
Mark had been reading the information instead.
He was quite interested in the particle accelerator.
After all, it was an advanced technology that could break the barriers between parallel universes.
Of course, he didn't mean to replicate one, but as a researcher, it was his professional instinct to be interested in advanced technology.
The particle collider consists of a 30 km long ring of superconducting magnets and thousands of magnets of different types and models.
The former are used to confine the stream of energetic particles; the latter are acceleration structures that enable particles to travel in specific directions.
For example, the 15-metre-long 1232 bipolar magnets are used to bend the particle beam, while the 392 quadrupolar magnets are used to concentrate the particle stream.
When the particle collider is switched on, two streams of high-energy particles appear in the accelerator. The two streams pass through separate beam tubes and travel in opposite directions at speeds close to the speed of light.
At the same time, the two streams of energetic particles are confined in this accelerating ring by a strong magnetic field at the periphery, and are accelerated one by one before successfully "colliding."
But these particles are so small that colliding them would be like colliding two needles fired from two places 10 km apart.
So one can imagine just how difficult it is.
And the key that Peter Parker, the Spider-Man of this world, has made is actually aimed at one of the processes that turns on this particle collider.
Cooling
The conditions required for two streams of energetic particles to be accelerated to near the speed of light are very demanding.
Firstly, the environment inside the beam tube would need to be in an ultra-high vacuum to minimise particle losses.
Secondly, the strong magnetic fields used to confine the particle streams also require large quantities of superconducting electromagnets to be obtained.
These superconducting electromagnets are made using special cable wires which operate in a superconducting state and conduct the current efficiently with no resistance consumption or energy loss.
To achieve this result, it is necessary to cool the magnets to approximately -271 degrees Celsius, a temperature lower than that of outer space!
For this reason, most accelerators are connected to a liquid helium shunt system and other equipment that is used to cool the magnets.
Spider-Man's key is a Trojan horse used to cut the connection between the accelerator and the liquid helium shunt system.
When the liquid helium shunt is no longer cooling the accelerator, the temperature of the superconducting electromagnet will continue to rise, thus losing its ability to confine the energetic particle stream.
The energetic particle streams are then thrown into a state of turbulence, making the next step of collision impossible.
At the same time, because of the high temperatures, the magnets will even be demagnetised and the special cables, etc., will be burned up at temperatures beyond their rated range, thus rendering the whole particle collider ineffective.
In this way, even if Kingpin and had many more materials on hand, he would not be able to repair this collider in a short time.
This, then, is the plan of the original Spider-Man of this world.
At the same time, it was also Mark's and the group's next plan.
For this, Mark and Penny analysed it the whole morning.
Then, with Penny and her mecha in the lead and Mark providing his valuable input, the two quickly finalised their plan.
And it was unanimously approved by the others - of course they did, as none of them had a say in their professions.
But then, naturally, it had nothing to do with Mark.
He could analyse and then mouth hi with his logical abilities, but practically speaking, his profession was also out of place.
So, the task of fixing the key was still left to Penny.
As for him? He once again went to the abandoned factory.
But this time there were more people there.
Apart from Shadow Spider-Man and Spider-Ham, who had come with him right before, even middle-aged Peter and Gwen had followed him.
"So. What the hell are you two doing here with us?" Mark stood once again on the high beam and turned his head to look at Gwen, who stood with her arms crossed over her chest, and middle-aged Peter, who was leaning against the wall while scratching his big belly.
Middle-aged Peter shrugged, "I'm bored."
Gwen raised an eyebrow, "I want to watch."
Shadow Spider-Man walked up behind Mark, "Hey, are you ready?"
"Do we really need to jump?" Mark subconsciously gulped, he wasn't afraid of heights, but any normal person would be weak in the knees standing on a beam that was only ten centimetres wide at the front and back and over ten metres above the ground, right?
And he was going to jump!
"Of course we're going to jump, it's the most direct way," said Shadow Spider-Man.
Spider-Ham pulled half a leftover breakfast hot dog out of his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, "What are you afraid of, there are four Spider-Men here, they won't let anything happen to you."
"Fine, then I."
Looking down at his feet, Mark was still a little scared.
Gwen cut in, "Why do you feel more scared than Miles, are you okay or not?"
"You're asking me if I can do it?" Mark gritted his teeth, "How can a man say no when asked like that!"
He checked the web shooter on his wrist once more - it was also a Spider-Man thing from this world, given to him by Aunt May.
It had been confirmed that he was also the type who couldn't produce his own silk, so the web shooter was a must.
He then took a deep breath and without realising it, Mary Jane's words came to mind:
"My husband, Peter Parker."
"He used to be an ordinary man."
"He always said anyone could be the man behind the mask."
"He just happened to be bitten by a spider."
'I'm just an ordinary guy who happened to be bitten by a spider, too, but brought over into this world. Is this a gift, or a curse? Either way, I'll see what happens!'
After that, Mark no longer hesitated, and with a strong leap, he fell straight down.
