With Tony agreeing to invest in this project, Stark Industries began to iron out the details of the cooperation, and after finalizing the contract, Isaac acquired the funds he needed; however, he is required to produce samples for testing in two months after acquiring the funds.
'It isn't a problem for me; I can synthesize a prototype in only half a day as I am only simplifying the original formula' thought Isaac as he returned to his lab. The more important advantage he got from this deal was access to more technologically advanced equipment.
'Although I should be more careful when using them, or some of my core research might be leaked,' thought Isaac while revising the formula of the energy restoration elixir.
Later that night, after going home, Isaac entered a meditative state and checked on the newly activated genetic base point.
'It's stabilized now; maybe I can activate a new one tonight' thought Isaac while readying himself. He first took an improved energy restoration elixir he made today, then, like the last time, he spread the energy between the 8th point and the 7 rhythmically pulsating ones. It didn't take much time for this new point to be activated, and like last time, Isaac felt an increase in the range of his abilities.
"I wonder what the limit of the synchronization of these points is," murmured Isaac while exiting his meditative state and preparing to go to sleep. He decided to play it safe and only activate one point a day before going to sleep.
Next morning, Isaac woke up early and washed up. Today, he is going to a new lab provided by Stark Industries to pursue the completion of the elixir. Isaac arrived there with some excitement.
As he walked through the main entrance, he noted the impressive architecture and the cutting-edge technology on display, appreciating the advancements and pondering the ridiculous technological advancements of the Marvel Universe.
Pepper Potts greeted him with a warm smile. "Welcome to Stark Industries, Dr. White. We're excited to have you here."
Isaac nodded, eased by her friendly demeanor. "Thank you, Ms. Potts. I'm looking forward to seeing the lab."
"Please call me Pepper. Tony has allocated one of our best labs for your research. He's been quite busy with other projects, but he personally reviewed your proposal and made sure everything was set up to your specifications. Follow me; I'll show you the way."
They navigated through a series of corridors, each lined with state-of-the-art technology and bustling with scientists and engineers. Isaac noticed the collaborative atmosphere, with teams working on various projects ranging from robotics to renewable energy. The advancements in technology were impressive, even by his standards, but he maintained his composure.
'This level of sophistication hadn't appeared until the late 2020s,' thought Isaac silently.
As they approached a set of reinforced glass doors, Pepper turned to him. "Here we are. This will be your new workspace."
The doors slid open, revealing a spacious lab filled with cutting-edge equipment. Isaac's eyes scanned the room, taking in the advanced computers and an array of scientific instruments. It was an impressive setup, perfectly suited to his needs.
"We've spared no expense in setting this up for you," Pepper said, noting his reaction. "You'll find everything you need and more."
Isaac walked further into the lab, running his hand over a sleek workstation. "This is excellent. Thank you."
Pepper smiled. "Tony may not be here often, but he believes in your potential. He's confident that you'll achieve great things with the resources we've provided."
Isaac replied confidently. "I'll make sure to live up to his expectations."
Pepper began the tour, explaining the various sections of the lab and their capabilities. "Over here, we have the latest in genetic sequencing technology. It's fast, accurate, and will save you a lot of time. This is the latest centrifuge produced by Stark Industries to help you in your research.
Isaac listened intently, appreciating the capabilities of the equipment. "This will be very beneficial for my research."
"That's the idea," Pepper said with a smile. "You've got the expertise, and we've got the tools. Together, we can make significant advancements."
As they continued the tour, Isaac noticed a team of assistants already at work, preparing samples and organizing materials. Pepper introduced them one by one, highlighting their expertise and how they would support Isaac's research.
"Meet Dr. Emily Zhang, our expert in bioinformatics, and Dr. Raj Patel, who specializes in molecular biology. They'll be working closely with you," Pepper said.
Dr. Zhang extended her hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Dr. White. I've read your papers, and I'm excited to collaborate."
"Likewise," Isaac replied, shaking her hand. "Your work in bioinformatics is impressive."
Dr. Patel nodded in agreement. "We're here to help you push the boundaries of genetic research. Let's make some breakthroughs together."
Isaac felt the level of care Stark has put into this project. With such a talented team and unparalleled resources, he was ready to take his research to the next level.
Pepper watched the interaction with a satisfied smile. "Alright, team. Let's get to work. If you need anything, don't hesitate to reach out to me. And Isaac, welcome aboard."
Isaac spent the rest of the day familiarizing himself with the lab's equipment and setting up his workspace. He was always cautious with his core research data, only carrying it around on his personalized laptop, which is always offline. He doesn't remember when J.A.R.V.I.S. was created and didn't want to take the risk. As for the research he is ready to share, he will use the equipment here freely; it doesn't matter if J.A.R.V.I.S. has access to it.
The next few days at Stark Industries were a whirlwind of activity. Isaac quickly settled into a routine, dividing his time between synthesizing the energy restoration elixir prototypes, exploring the potential of the advanced equipment at his disposal, and activating genetic base points before going to sleep. The lab buzzed with the energy of discovery, each day bringing new insights and incremental progress.
Isaac's introspective abilities allowed him to fine-tune the elixir's formula with remarkable precision. He could monitor the effects of each variation on a cellular level, making real-time adjustments. The team was impressed by his meticulous approach and the rapid advancements they were making.
"Dr. White, the latest batch of samples is ready for testing," Dr. Zhang announced one morning, handing Isaac a tray of neatly labeled vials.
"Excellent," Isaac replied, taking the tray. "Let's run the sequence and see how these compare to the previous versions."
Dr. Patel joined them at the sequencing station. "I've optimized the parameters for this run. We should have the results in a few hours."
Isaac nodded appreciatively. "Great work, everyone. Let's keep pushing forward."
As the day progressed, Isaac couldn't shake the feeling of anticipation. The preliminary results from their latest experiments were promising, indicating a significant reduction in the elixir's cost. His realistic introspection allowed him to see the details of the interaction between the elixir and his body, making his job easier.
Late in the afternoon, the sequencing results came in. Isaac and his team gathered around the display as Dr. Zhang pulled up the data.
"These results are impressive," Dr. Zhang said, her voice tinged with excitement. "The latest formula shows a 20% decrease in the cost and a 10% increase in the energy restoration efficiency compared to our initial prototype."
Dr. Patel leaned in, examining the data. "And the stability has significantly improved. This version should have a much longer shelf life."
Isaac felt satisfied with this result. "This is excellent progress. Let's prepare a detailed report and send it to Pepper. We'll need to arrange for the next phase of testing."
This result came about in approximately three weeks, and that was in addition to his private research, where he increased the efficacy of the energy restoration elixir by 150%. However, it is not safe for normal use, as if not for his ability to manipulate the energy circulation in his body and using that energy quickly to activate the genetic base points, some serious side effects might occur if a normal person without his set of abilities to intake this elixir.
'These 3 weeks were as productive as they were exhausting. Juggling between interaction with the team in the morning, my own private research, and activating genetic base points in the evening. phew… at least now I have activated 20 more genetic base points in addition to the previous 8 now 28 synchronized points and the other 9 that are separate. I have now a total of 37 activated genetic base points.' Those were Isaac's musings before going to sleep that day.
