Chapter XXXIX: The Purpose of the Plan

"Wait, wait. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Are you talking about Project X?" Li Jie almost couldn't control his volume, he tried to calm his tone, but the voice he made was still a little weird.

"Yes, what are you surprised about, or do you know something better??" Hank's eyes swept over Li Jie, his gaze sharp, and there was a feeling of being seen through.

Li Jie found his gaffe, because what Hank said again and again subverted his impression. He had always believed that Project X was the brainchild of General Stryker, the main villain of the X-Men.

And now Hank has told Li Jie that in fact, the development of the X weapon program had a prototype long before General Stryker, and even had results!

"Oh, because when mutants got out of control, Frank mentioned it once. Seeing Hank staring at him, fortunately Li Jie reacted quickly enough and immediately thought of a way to respond.

"We had an internal discussion about whether the runaway incident was human or accidental, and Frank went to find Stryker, a military general who was extremely averse to mutants. Similar planning documents have been investigated. ”

"yes, I've almost forgotten. Because the information was classified as top secret, I didn't have much time to investigate it at the time. So just a rough look at the name. Frank also helped Li Jie at the right time and helped him transfer the problem.

"I've only mentioned it once, so what exactly is Project X?" Frank thought back to his memories of going through the materials he had collected, and there was no detailed information about Project X, so he was a little curious.

"Project X, mutant weaponization. After listening to Li Jie and Frank's explanation, Hank let go of his suspicions. After all, the relationship between the Nightkin and the mutant school is still quite good, and in essence, Charles and Hank are still willing to trust Li Jie.

The biggest difference is that Stryker researched Project X to destroy mutants, while Project X during World War II was researched to win the war.

"So they're going to use mutants as weapons?" Li Jie thought of the key point here, which is actually easy to guess.

"That's pretty much it. Hank roughly agrees with Lee's statement, but Jack's statement is not perfect.

"But I once told you that Nightkin and the degree of evolutionary perfection is different among mutants. Not all of everyone's awakened X genes are perfectly integrated. Most mutants have very little power. ”

Li Jie remembered what Hank had said, the profiles of mutants of different ranks, from Alpha to Epsilon.

"Not all mutants are suitable for combat, and not all mutant abilities are helpful for life. The war has entered that stage, and what they need is the power to make a final decision. ”

Hank's words reminded Lee of the artifact from Asgard under the Arctic ice cap, and it seems that the Nazi government at the time had not found a way to exploit it. After all, Tony had been studying it for a long time, and he couldn't even think of a good way to lift that thing.

"So they've made bigger changes, haven't they?" Li Jie took on the responsibility of being a good audience, properly guiding Hank to carry on the topic.

Hank has removed most of the parts he needs and has begun to build the stealth device.

"Yes, what they want to do is not simply to get mutants into battle, but to gain mutant abilities. They want to extract mutant abilities and create them into batches of mutant soldiers under their control. Hank turned the multi-purpose wrench that Storm Girl handed over, and vigorously pried open a closed metal drum wheel.

"As I once said, the X gene is hidden in almost any person's body, but some are recessive and some are dominant. Back then, they used to extract mutant genes on a large scale, trying to implant the abilities they wanted in ordinary people's bodies. ”

However, due to the conditions at the time, many experiments ended in failure. But even then, they've made a lot of mutant soldiers. Although there are not enough of them to fight on the frontal battlefield, this group of mutant soldiers in the underground battlefield has caused great problems for the Alliance Nation. It's like Captain Rogers causing trouble to the Axis powers. Hank's hand still didn't stop, he had already installed a simple gearing.

And even after the war, because this special group of soldiers was not completely arrested, it still caused great trouble to countries around the world. Because the soldiers who underwent these special transformations back then were all fanatical believers in the Third Reich. Hank sighed, not knowing what he was sighing for.

"And in order to fight them and deal with the special forces on the hidden front, Charles and I and a group of other companions were recruited to form the original X-Men. Fighting mutant villains, that's what the X-Men were all about. ”

"However, this force was eventually disbanded because of a special military and political crisis, and even a bitter war was waged on the underground front. In the end, the two leaders of the team parted ways. ”

Li Jie guessed that the two leaders mentioned by Hank, one is Professor Charles, and the other is most likely Magneto. Is it just that the crisis that Hank is talking about is still the Cuban Missile Crisis in the original story? Or is there more twists and turns in the Cuban Missile Crisis in this world?

Hank didn't stop telling because of Lee's thoughts. "As for what you said about Stryker's X-weapon program, compared to the materials and scientists that were confiscated by the military after the defeat of the Nazis, the tests were carried out. This is something I didn't expect. ”

Hank glanced at Logan. "Originally, Professor Charles and I guessed that the Edelman alloy in Logan's body was modified by the human body, and then because of the relationship with Captain Rogers. We know that Logan fought in World War II, so there is a speculation that Rogan may have been reformed after being captured by the Nazis at the end of the war. ”

Logan's fist clenched, making a few crunching sounds.

"But now it seems that it is also possible that Logan was captured by this military general named Stryker and made a special modification. Logan listened to Hank's words and muttered Stryker's name in a low voice. He is now amnesiac, and the memories of many years before are blank for him.

Logan was eager to figure out who had made him what he was. If he can find the culprit, he promises to tear the other into several pieces.
