Rogers took Yang Fan to the genetic research center of the base, and Yang Fan had never been here before.

The Genetic Research Center is located in the center of the base, not far from the Operations Command Center, and is an independent building. It is said that this is the only newly built building after T3 took over the military base, and the style of the building is similar to that of other buildings, boxy, with a total of six floors, and there is nothing special from the outside.

After the guidance of the reception on the first floor, the two took the elevator directly to the sixth floor. The elevator at the genetic research center is glassless, so you can't see what's going on on every floor.

In the elevator, Rogers briefed Yang Fan about the role of the Genetic Research Center. They do human and genetic research with the aim of maximizing the potential of their soldiers, and all the data of T3 mercenaries are archived here for research. In addition, it is to cooperate with some institutions outside T3 to do some innovative research on genes, which is a money-burning department. What they're going to see now is Dr. S., the head of the genetic research center.

Rogers led Yang Fan to the innermost office on the sixth floor, which was the brightest and quietest location on the entire floor. Rogers knocked on the door and entered without waiting for the people inside to respond, and Yang Fan followed him into the office.

The office is very simple, like an ordinary study, with a set of sofas and coffee tables for entertaining guests on the left hand side of the door, and a bright window facing the doorway, and to the left of the window is a row of bookshelves full of books.

On the right is an ordinary desk with a phone and some office supplies, and behind the desk sits an old man, probably in his 60s, with gray hair, a thin body, and a wrinkled face, but his eyes are extremely focused.

When he saw Rogers come in, the old man stood up, smiled, and said, "Come, welcome!" Sit down, the coffee is ready for you! ”

Rogers didn't answer, just sat down on the couch and took a sip of his coffee. Yang Fan sat next to Rogers and nodded to the old man.

The old man also sat down, looked at Rogers, and said with anticipation, "Captain Rogers, did you tell him?" ”

Rogers put down his coffee, put his hands on his knees, looked at the old man opposite, and said, "No, you should say it yourself." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Okay then." ”

Then, his gaze turned to Yang Fan and said, "Hello, Yang Fan." I'm the head of the T3 Gene Research Center, and they all call me Dr. S, or Dr. Strange. So, I'll get straight to the point.

We have been working on a project for the past few years with the aim of improving the physical performance of soldiers through some external drugs. To put it simply, it's about making soldiers stronger, so they can run faster, jump better, and have more strength. ”

Yang Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this, isn't this what he needs most, what he needs to become stronger is to improve his physical fitness.

Dr. S saw the change in Yang Fan's expression, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and continued: "But our project can only change the physical functions of soldiers at present, as for the soldiers' intelligence, psychology, metabolic speed and physical endurance, and even the density, coordination, flexibility, etc., which cannot be improved, this is the focus of our next stage of research."

It is precisely because of this that those who can accept our experiments must have strong physical and psychological endurance themselves, otherwise their lives will be in danger. Actually, I've been following you since 3 years ago, when you were undergoing basic training with the prince and penumbra.

I carefully analyzed all your physical indicators and all the instructors' evaluations of you, probably due to the fact that you have practiced Huaxia Neijia Kung Fu since you were a child, and you fully meet the standards of the experiment. So, I just want to ask for your opinion this time, would you like to give it a try? ”

"Dr. S, you seem to have forgotten to talk about the results of your previous experiments! As far as I know, it seems that your 'Captain America' program has not yet been successful! Rogers prompted.

"Haha, yes, yes, yes! I was about to say that. Dr. S continued, "The goal of my current phase of the project is to improve the muscle strength of the soldiers, so as to increase speed and strength. This means that we want to improve the endurance of your muscles and shorten the duration of your workouts, so that you can reach your limits quickly with the help of medications.

Therefore, there will be a certain risk of this, and if the degree of improvement is not well controlled, there will be a risk of muscle lysis, and in severe cases, it will be life-threatening. There were 3 people who had participated in the experiment before, and they all failed. We have analysed the reasons why their bodies are unable to support the pressure of their muscles being lifted to their limits. But you're different, we went through a lot of data analysis and calculations this time, and the conclusion is, you can. ”

Rogers didn't wait for Yang Fan to answer, and said first: "I know that the previous three people can't meet the requirements of the T3 A-level team at all, so I took the risk to try." Yang Fan, you are different, your current comprehensive assessment can at least reach the level of S level. Even if your physical fitness may only be B, all of your skills are quasi-SS level, which can make up for the disadvantage of your physical fitness to a certain extent. Do you want to think about whether or not to take this risk? ”

Yang Fan was silent for a moment, looked up at Dr. S, and asked, "Since you have gone through a lot of calculations and evaluations, if the experiment is successful, how much will my physical fitness be improved?" ”

Dr. S thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's put it that way. If the experiment is successful, your strength will never be weaker than SK's Reaper, and your speed will be faster than anyone else in this base. Combined with the advantage of your own coordination, your physical fitness will be the No.1 in T3. Moreover, this is only a conservative estimate! ”

"Okay, I accept!" Yang Fan said firmly.

"Well, I knew you'd take it! Hahaha. Dr. S smiled with satisfaction.

Rogers looked at Yang Fan with a look of surprise, and said with some incredulity: "Yang Fan, you listen to me." Even now, you have what it takes to be a top mercenary. With the support of T3, it's enough to support you to accomplish whatever you want to do, are you sure you want to take the risk? ”

Yang Fan looked at Rogers and said, "Captain, thank you." I am well aware of my own ability, and my individual ability has always been the worst in SK, and the main reason is my physical fitness deficiency. I've fought against Harvesters, Blades, and so on, and I know I'm still a long way off. I want to be stronger, to be the strongest, and only then can I achieve my goals! Now that I have this opportunity, an opportunity to change my fate, no matter how big the risk, I will not give up. ”

Rogers grabbed Yang Fan's shoulders and said with a little excitement: "Yang Fan, it is your own will and determination to change your fate!" You've been doing a great job, and you're already changing your destiny. You've proven your worth to everyone, the first joint operation is beautifully done, and your status in T3 is rising.

I brought you here, and I didn't mention anything about this project to you in advance, because I didn't want to interfere with you, I didn't want to directly erase this so-called opportunity. But I have to remind you now that you have to think about the balance between the risk and what you're going to get, and you have to think about whether it's worth it or not! ”

Yang Fan looked into Rogers' eyes, and he saw that kind of heartfelt care, which could never be disguised. Ever since he had known Rogers, he had never seen him lose his cool for a moment. Now, Rogers was very excited, which made Yang Fan feel the care of an elder after a long absence.

Yang Fan smiled faintly and said, "Captain, I've thought about it." I am a person who cannot face the past, so I can only go and create the best future. My future, my promises, can only be fulfilled by the strongest. So, no matter how risky it is, I have to try. However, I promise you, I will succeed and I will survive! ”

Rogers let go of Yang Fan's shoulder, turned his head, and said lightly: "I don't need a promise like you that I am not even sure to fulfill!" In the future, you don't promise others like that! ”

Dr. S stood up and asked with a serious face, "Yang Fan, are you really sure?" ”

"I'm sure, you can start experimenting at any time!" Yang Fan said firmly.

"Well, we need some preparation. Tomorrow night at 20:00, you come here, we start on time. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and I hope it can bring you peace. Dr. S said.

Rogers got up from the couch, looked at Dr. S, and said, "Dr. S, please be well prepared with your men, I don't want to see one of my men ruined in your hands!" ”

Dr. S nodded and said solemnly, "Don't worry! Captain Rogers, if I find something unexpected in the implementation process, I will terminate it immediately. I may really be a Doctor Strange, but I'm not Dr. Devil.

Instructor No. 1 was right, even if Yang Fan's experiment was successful, it would not be reproducible. His physique, his inner kung fu, and his experience make him too special for me to take any chances. I promise you, during the whole experiment, I will take saving Yang Fan's life as the first criterion! ”

"That's the best!" After Rogers finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the office, and Yang Fan nodded to Dr. S before following Rogers and leaving together.

In the elevator, Rogers didn't say a word.

The elevator reached the first floor, and Rogers had just stepped out of the elevator when he pulled out a cigar and lit it. The receptionist on the first floor was about to come to stop him, but Rogers waved his hand, and the receptionist didn't dare to continue talking. Rogers took a hard drag on his cigar and walked outside the Genetic Research Center building before exhaling his cigarette.

Rogers let out a long breath, looked up at the sky, and said, "Yang Fan, remember your promise to me and survive!" I'm going home tomorrow for Christmas, and it's the first time I've been home in more than a decade. I don't want to hear any unfortunate news about you when I come back, good luck!

By the way, I never told you that I have a daughter. The older I get, the more I feel the importance of my family. I used to be really stubborn. Yang Fan, I hope you're right! I hope you make it worth it! Go for it! With that, Rogers left without looking back.

Yang Fan stood in place, he thought of all the encounters in the past, the friends and wealth he has now, and the life he will face in the future. He did not regret his decision, because he believed that he would be able to pass this hurdle, and he also believed that God was fair, it had taken everything away from him, and the luck behind was owed by God.
