Constant experimentation, constant failure. A research project is like a dead end. Maya Hansen is hard and helpless. The Desperate Virus Project was not a simple thing to begin with.

The cost of research, which is too forward-looking, and lasts almost seventeen years, is staggering. No private company wants to invest money in this.

For Maya Hansen, the Desperate Virus is her most important treasure, and she is counting on this thing to appear and become something that changes the world and humanity.

A desperate virus, a thing that kills people and comes back to life. In essence, it is a special drug, which can quickly treat the regeneration of severed limbs and various physical defects.

In fact, there are many scientists around the world who are doing research in this area. For example, Dr. Connors before it, such as Maya Hansen.

Overcoming various incurable diseases on the human body and making human beings more perfect is something that many scientists strive for and are willing to dedicate their lives to.

Take Maya Hansen, for example. She was willing to do these things, she extracted the genes from a plant that regenerated quickly, and began to improve the genes.

It was a tedious and expensive job, and after a year in the first lab, the lab leader drove Maya away because the investment was too large and the output was not visible.

So with a plan for the desperate virus, Maya began to look for people around the world who were willing to invest in her.

But at the time, most people said they weren't optimistic about the project, because the plan for a desperate virus sounded like a fantasy.

[Make up for the basic defects of the human body and completely eliminate the Neanderthal genes hidden in the human body.] This primitive gene is the culprit of most congenital diseases in humans]

[Enhance the body's basal metabolism and gene resistance, enhance immunity, kill the vast majority of invading viruses through the autoimmune system, and begin to make up for the sores that have appeared. 】

[Through the super regeneration method, using the desperate virus as its own energy, the damaged limbs begin to recover quickly and eliminate the disability.] 】

[Desperate reinforcement for parts of the body.] 】

The Desperate Virus is very functional and powerful. Even more powerful than the lizard serum Dr. Connors had originally preset.

However, the higher the preset goal, the more difficult it is to achieve. Maya needs research, and research needs money. Running into walls everywhere, she can only turn her attention to a special group.

Let's ask, what kind of institution can invest in scientific and technological research for more than ten years, or even decades, for a long time, without any short-term returns, just to surpass in science and technology?

The answer is national government organizations!

Only national government departments have this demand, for the country's strategic planning, they can invest billions or even billions of dollars in research, and can tolerate a research that lasts for twenty Chinese New Year's Eve or even longer.

Maya Hansen submitted her plan to the U.S. government.

Here the divergent line of the world appears, and in the story that Li Jie once reads, the birth of the desperate virus comes from AIM. So after the guy who was injected with the Desperate Virus at the basketball game in New York.

Li Jie also set his sights on AIM, and asked Tony to find out the bottom of the company.

But in this world online, AIM has nothing to do with the Desperate Virus, and the Chief Scientist, Dr. Rice, has no idea that there is a Desperate Virus in this world.

So there has been little progress in the investigation of the desperate virus. Because the direction of the investigation was wrong from the beginning. Li Jie opened the prophet once, but the prophet's direction was completely wrong.

Maya Hansen eventually got the military's confidential research funding because they valued the last piece of the Desperate Virus, which was a reinforcement for body parts.

It's like over the years, the Super Soldier program has been restarted again and again, but it has been put on hold again and again. Whether it's the military or the government. All hope to be able to train a group of elite soldiers.

Maya Hansen doesn't want to raise a group of killing machines, but when people are faced with ideals, sometimes they have to bow to reality.

But the sad thing is that even if you bow your head, your ideals will still not be completed.

"The project team is disbanded, Dr. Hansen. The military chief in charge of communicating with Maya said with regret on his face.

"Wait! our project has just made progress and breakthroughs, you see, we just need to do some human trials to make more progress!" Maya argued vigorously.

"No way, Doctor. Let's be honest, Osborne Group's amputated limb regeneration program has reached the level of market application. And has begun working with the military to help veterans who are disabled on the battlefield. The head of the military said calmly.

"This makes one of the most important projects of the Desperate Virus worthless, and at the same time. The head of the military cleared his throat and said with a strange expression.

"I think you should know the doctor. Before Captain Rogers and the military lawsuit. ”

Maya nodded, and the world knew about the dispute between Captain Rogers and the military over the copyright.

"So you should know one thing, we've lost all the rights to Captain Rodgers. More than $350 million in annual revenues have been axed. The head of the military said bluntly.

"And the military's annual budget is limited, and Congress will not allocate unlimited funds to the military. And for research like a desperate virus, Congress won't fund us at all. ”

The head of the military, a colonel who was nearly fifty years old, looked at Maya with a face as resolute as an ice cube and said, "There is no money, and the Osborne Group's plan to regenerate severed limbs has been launched. So it's imperative that the Desperate Virus get off the horse, Dr. Hansen, pack up your things, it's over. You should also rest. ”

The colonel patted Maya on the shoulder and turned to leave.

…………………………

"I need to do live experiments! I need to have enough data to convince the military to continue!" muttered Maya, who had been expelled from the military, walking the streets of New York City.

She wrapped her coat tightly, even in the summer. Because under her coat is hidden a desperate virus serum that has been ordered to be destroyed by the military.

Maya was unwilling to let her more than ten years of research come to waste. She needed to do something. Even if it is illegal, she can't care about it now, and taking risks may be a kind of scientific spirit in her opinion.

A drunken man on the street catches Maya's eye, and this man is none other than Myron, a snack seller at the hapless stadium.

………………………………

"Hell, what's going on?" Maya felt like things were starting to get out of her hands. Because Myron hasn't been seen in days.

She has been secretly observing Myron, recording his life and what happened after he was injected with the virus. She was injected against Myron illegally. And Myron became Maya's guinea pig while drunk.

So Maya can't go directly to Myron's house and knock on the door and do a questionnaire on him. She's trying to find Myron, but she's not going to find her.

Because Myron has been subdued by Li Jie and thrown into the secret laboratory of the Osborne Group, it is under strict control.

……………………

Maya was a beautiful woman, and in her youth she had charmed many men. For example, the now world-famous Mr. Iron Man has also been placed under her pomegranate skirt. Although she is now in her thirties and almost forty years old, careful maintenance and the use of the skin care liquid launched by Shuguang Company have made her skin rejuvenate and return to the tightness of her twenties. This makes her look more attractive than a younger girl.

But now she is unkempt and unusually haggard. Because Myron is completely missing, Maya can't find him anyway.

His only hope was deprived. She felt that she had lost the meaning of life in her life.

The Desperate Virus project was halted in order to prevent the leakage of secrets. The military destroyed all the finished drugs, all the equipment, and sealed those that could not be destroyed.

The hard work of my whole life has been wasted, and this is not a pleasant thing for anyone.

So getting drunk at the bar has become Maya's daily routine.

"Another glass of whiskey. Maya said to the bartender with a drunken expression. The bartender expertly poured a small glass of whiskey from the Chivas Regal bottle, and as he was about to hand it to Maya, the whiskey glass was snatched from the bartender's hand.

"Dr. Maya, alcoholism is a sin for any researcher who is predominantly intellectual. You're murdering your future. "It was a man who snatched the glass.

He was elegant, with round-rimmed eyes, and when he smiled, he looked like a philosopher.

Maya glanced at him, feeling a little familiar, but she didn't think much about it: "Future? I think it's gone, you'd better give me back the glass." I paid for it. ”

"Well, looks like you've forgotten about me. Dr. Maya, at the 2000 New Year's Eve party (Note 2) We had a deep conversation, and I was very impressed by your desperate plan. Oh yes, my name is Ethan. Ethan held out his hand to Maya with a smile.

The vague memories gradually became clear in Maya's mind. Yes, the New Year's Eve party in 2000 to welcome the new century was an important moment in her life, and she remembered many things vividly.

And Ethan's image gradually coincided with the one in her mind, and she said with a little surprise: "It's you." ”

"It's me. Ethan replied with a smile.

Maya looked at Ethan and responded with a helpless wry smile: "Please don't mention the desperate plan again, there will be no more in the future." It has been completely canceled and mothballed!"

Ethan looked unexpected, and he said to Maya, "That's what I'm here for, Maya. I think the value of this program in itself is much higher than the Osborne Group's amputated limb regeneration program. You're just one step late in time and haven't caught up with the good times. ”

Maya shook her head: "Doing the wrong thing at the wrong time is a mistake in itself. ”

"I don't think so!" Ethan interrupted Maya, "I want to say that the desperate situation has not stopped, and you have a bigger stage. And this stage I can provide, would you like to join the zodiac?"

Maya looked up at Ethan's eyes in surprise.

Note: Myron is the unlucky guy who was injected with the Desperate Virus and was finally subdued on the basketball court.

Note 2: This New Year's Eve party is the party that opened with Iron Man 3. Ethan was also involved, and it was the first time he met Tony Stark.

PS3: I only have one shift today, and I'm a little tired. Take a leave of absence.
