Chapter 18: Déjà vu
"After repeated experiments, the large amount of radioactive elements contained in those silver artifacts is the culprit that caused the mutant's ability to lose control this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" It was Hank the Beast who explained to Li Jie.
Now there is a huge projection screen in front of Li Jie, and Hank has made all the collected information and materials into PPT format and displayed it with a projector.
"This trace amount of radiation is a small dose, but it can affect people when worn for a long time. Hank switched to a PPT.
There are a lot of test parameters listed above that Li Jie can't understand at all, but it seems that Laser Eye, Jean Grey and Storm Girl can understand it.
Compared to the others present, Li Jie and Wolverine were like two semi-literate people.
"We all know that the X gene is a recessive gene that is latent in almost all human genes. "As Hank, who has studied mutant genes all his life, he may be the most authoritative in the world.
"This special radiation band will constantly hook the X gene hidden in the depths of the human body, so that the gene that is not originally manifested will appear substantial. Hank pointed to a parameter representing radiation fluctuations, and Li Jie could only listen with an unaware expression.
"But all mutants don't necessarily have a good DNA, and I'm sure we're all very aware of that. Hank said, glancing at the crowd.
"So mutants are also divided into one level and two levels?" Li Jie remembered the classification system for mutants in the X-Men movie. "In terms of the strength of the ability?"
"Our division is not so simple and crude. Hank rejects Lee's hierarchy.
"The hierarchy of mutants is not based on the size of their abilities, but on the degree of fusion and perfection of the X gene. Hank roughly explained to Li Jie the classification of mutants.
At the alpha level, the X gene has the highest degree of fusion, and not only has great abilities but also has almost no physiological defects. And you can choose to turn your own abilities on and off.
Beta-level, the degree of fusion of the X gene is not as good as that of alpha, and there are some microdefects, but it is still within the controllable range. It doesn't particularly affect life.
Gamma level, the degree of X gene fusion is further reduced, and they are unable to control their own abilities independently, and some people are even unable to control their abilities even after a long period of training, which seriously interferes with normal life.
Delta-level, this is an example of the unsuccessful evolution of X-gene, which does not have much strength, but because of its weak strength, it is controllable. This kind of person is the most common among mutants, and Delta-level mutants as long as they are not exposed, or they are examined with professional instruments.
Basically no one knows whether they are mutants or normal people, and they are heavily involved in the life of ordinary human society.
They are also the most stable of all mutants, and they have the weakest sense of belonging to mutants, but they are also the most afraid of the government pushing for mutant management bills.
The last one is the Ipsilon-class, the pathetic of all mutants. They are completely among the failed ones in the X-gene evolution, and they are weak and uncontrollable.
It will even directly affect their appearance and physical characteristics, and this part of the population is the most pitiful of the mutants.
In the evolution of mutants, they are all evolutionary failures, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they are all aliens.
Excluded from mainstream society because of various relationships. It's quite pathetic, and their numbers aren't very small, at least twenty percent of all mutants.
Mutants in this category either have a strong sense of belonging to mutant society or a strong sense of resistance to mutant society.
Anyway, if there is to be a war, the martyrs in the mutant society are this group of people, and the spies are also this group of people.
"And these radiations strongly interfere with the autonomous evolution of the X gene. Hank continued.
"It is not for nothing that some people do not awaken to the X gene, because their bodies themselves are not suitable for the awakening of the X gene attributes. Hank said the key.
"Either because the X gene is too weak, or because the X gene is too rare. ”
"And the mandatory awakening of the X gene will cause a part of the X gene in the human body to riot, as it is now. Because this is not the autonomous evolution of genes, but the forced awakening caused by the pressure exerted by external forces. ”
"So those awakened mutants, in fact, they are not strong in the first X gene, or their X gene has not reached the point where it should be awakened?" Li Jie probably figured out the cause of these things.
"Yes, that's right. Hank nodded, but looked at the professor with some concern.
The professor was also a little worried. Because it seemed to remind him of something bad.
"Do you think this time is similar to the previous ones?" Hank didn't say anything, but there was anxiety in his tone.
"A little, but the last time it was a little bit bigger. The professor smiled, but Li Jie could see that Professor X's smile was a little reluctant.
"The situation is different Charles, last time it was total war, this time it was a conspiracy. Hank tapped lightly on the professor's desk, reminding the professor that the two incidents had occurred at different levels.
"It's not terrible in a total war, because it's possible for anyone to go to war, but it's peacetime and people are far from the shadow of war. Even the USSR collapsed, and no one cares if we still have enemies externally. ”
"There is no window that can deflect hatred, and all the damage will go to ourselves!"
"I understand, I understand. Hank, don't be too anxious. The professor tried to calm Hank's mind.
But no one in the audience could understand the conversation between the two of them, even the other three students of the professor were confused.
Not to mention Li Jie, he doesn't know much about mutants in the first place, basically from the movies in his previous life.
Now the conversation between the professor and Hank makes him very confused, because it seems that this kind of plot is not mentioned in the movies of his previous life.
In addition to the two bigwigs who understood the meaning of their conversation, only Wolverine was thoughtful, but the lost memory echoed in his brain, and his brain hurt a little from the impact, so that he could not think of anything more.
Just when Li Jie wanted to ask what kind of dumb riddle these two were playing, Laser Eye spoke before Li Jie. "I'm sorry, Professor, what are you two talking about? What war? What happened?"
Charles and Hank stopped talking, and they looked at each other, Hank nodded, but the professor shook his head.
The two made eye contact for a long time, as if Hank had finally been convinced, and shook his head.
"Give me some time, boys, I haven't decided whether I should tell you about it or not. The professor shook his head and said.
Well, sure enough, there is a secret in it, Li Jie complained in his heart. Maybe it's because I'm here that they don't say it.
Li Jie thought about it, there was indeed this possibility, mutants had too strong a sense of self-protection, and it was not interesting to stay here by themselves.
Anyway, the two purposes of coming here today have been achieved, the first is to give the small tools made by Stark to the professor and ask him to work backwards so that the X-Men can better find the remaining silverware.
The second is to listen to Hank's research, and now he can confirm how the silverware works, although Li Jie can't read the complex readings and icons.
But Li Jie still asked Hank for a copy of this information, and was going to take it back to Peter's new biologist Barbara to study.
Hank handed over a copy of the data to Li Jie, but many important parameters and test methods were missing from the data.
There is no way, as Li Jie thought before, mutants have too strong a sense of self-protection.
Hank didn't want this information to fall into the hands of someone with a heart, it would be a big killer for mutants. Li Jie also expressed his understanding of this, and he was not prepared to understand it very deeply anyway.
After all, it's up to them to save mutants.
Li Jie has other things to do, such as going to the North Pole or something.
I'm really busy. (To be continued.) )
