Chapter 66: Time is running out for the Allies
In a camp on the outskirts of London, a group of stout men who can walk on their shoulders and stand on their arms are practicing wrestling.
A rather fiery philosophical atmosphere permeated.
Luke took Dr. Zora with him and stood on the top of a hill not far away.
Those GIs who have successfully reformed have undergone extremely obvious changes in height and physique.
Looking at the sturdy macho man with an average of two meters per capita, wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt, his bulging muscles outlined a cluster of obvious lines.
Luke worries that their overdeveloped muscles will tear their clothes apart, and then stage a thrilling scene of sudden bursting clothes.
This is a week after the implementation of the "Allied Superman" program, the first batch of more than 300 recipients, and in the end, only 26 people can successfully survive the three mutations.
As for the twenty-four mutations that were transformed into the "Battleship class", only Captain America did it.
In Stephanie's words, "Captain Rogers is the most amazing test subject I've ever seen."
It's just that they have survived the painful transformation of several mutations, and they have not yet met the requirements for going to the battlefield.
Just yesterday, an inflated GI felt so powerful that he wanted to lift a jeep parked in the camp.
Before he could do that, the whole person's skin was broken, bones were broken, and he was ruthlessly crushed into a ball of meatloaf by the jeep.
For this accident, Stephanie deliberately explained that those GIs are now like half-built planes, forcibly trying to take off, which will only cause the body to collapse.
It is necessary to go through a period of training and adaptation before you can become a real "tank-class" or "battleship-class" soldier.
"Dr. Zola, you've been involved in the research of 'Worden's Blood for some time, how much do you know about the composition of the red spar and the principles of transforming the human body?"
Luke looked into the distance, his mind wandering.
News had already come from the Allied command that Berlin had dispatched three "battleship classes" to lead an army and form a battle group.
For now, no one on the battlefield can stop them.
According to information received by the Strategic Science Corps, the Siegmund battle group is advancing to the east.
Although at the beginning of the battle, the Soviet troops stubbornly held their positions.
However, due to heavy losses in both soldiers and weapons, they were forced to retreat.
The Siegfried battle group recaptured Ploiest and secured the oil supply of the Third Reich.
This made the Axis powers, which had gone away, seem to see a glimmer of hope for their rise.
The Siegrind battle group was active in the territory of Free France, and the entire force, led by the Aryan Superman, penetrated the Allied defensive lines and approached Paris.
Two days ago, de Gaulle made a public speech on the radio.
He said that he would persist in resistance, never retreat, and that France must be liberated.
Although the official rhetoric says so, the situation of the Allies is not optimistic, and the battlefield is in a state of defeat and retreat.
Luke estimated that it would not be long before the Allies would come and invite him over.
After all, no matter how many beautiful words you say, it is not as effective as taking practical actions.
If Berlin's "battleship-class" continues to advance without obstacles, London will simply raise the white flag and surrender.
"Your Excellency, the composition of those red crystals is very strange, and it cannot be fully analyzed for a while. Although the synthesis process is simple, the yield is low, and the cultivation time is about six months. ”
Dr. Zola's attitude is respectful, like an intern reporting to his boss: "It has the effect of stimulating human cells and catalyzing growth, but because the process is relatively direct and crude, it will bring a certain degree of painful response to the test subject." ”
"For you, Your Excellency the Commodore General, the effect of 'Worden's blood is almost negligible."
"If a normal person is a bowl, a super soldier like Captain Rogers is a barrel, then you are the sea."
"The first two can be used to expand the amount of water they can carry through external forces, and you don't need to do it at all."
Luke gladly accepted Dr. Zola's praise, and he felt that the chief scientist of Hydra had the ability to become one of the top ten employees.
He speaks well and works efficiently, and he is a talent worth gathering.
"However, Your Excellency, I have other discoveries."
Dr. Zora glanced up and saw that Luke's face was calm and he couldn't see any specific emotion.
Thinking of flattery and flattery, it is not easy to impress the young brigadier general, but he still has to show his ability.
Dr. Zola added: "After deciphering the ancient texts that Ms. Stephanie had brought, and referring to the three 'battleship classes' on the Berlin side, I had a bold idea. ”
"Perhaps the real effect of 'Worden's blood' is not to strengthen the human body, but to modify cells to form some more efficient way of storing energy."
"That's why the Aryan superman in Berlin was able to directly release an astonishing energy attack through his eyes."
"However, due to the relatively low conversion rate of energy stored by the cells in the body, the absorption cannot keep up with the output, and even the 'battleship-class' can only last eight hours of combat time."
Luke nodded, a satisfied smile on his lips.
Dr. Zola's idea is interesting and probably the closest to the right answer.
"If I want you to improve it a little bit, ignore the strengthening aspect of the human body, and focus on the improvement of the energy conversion rate of the cells in the body, can you do it?"
Luke asked softly.
He had long wanted to try to develop Superman's thermal vision ability, and "Worden's Blood" just happened to do that.
You don't have to bask in the sun quietly, sometimes it's a good idea to use external forces.
Dr. Zola thought for a moment, then nodded that it was fine.
With the help of that ancient text, it wasn't hard to fulfill Luke's request.
"However, Your Excellency Commodore ......"
The chief scientist of Hydra hesitated and reminded: "'Worden's blood' stimulates the human body with side effects, it will shorten the life cycle, and the more you use it, the greater the consumption. ”
In ancient times, the "Bruder Zerg" only developed the transformation technology of "Worden's Blood" in order to produce war machines.
They didn't intend to create a new, perfect race of superhumans.
Therefore, it is also reasonable to have defects.
"Don't worry about that, Dr. Zola."
When Luke heard this, he didn't react.
Although he didn't know how long the natural lifespan of Kryptonian was, it was not much less than that of Asgardians, who could easily live for a thousand years.
For human beings, a few decades may occupy most of their lives.
But in the eyes of other races, this may just be a short experience.
"If the Kryptonians are willing to do so, I'm afraid they will live until the earth explodes."
This thought flashed through Luke's mind, but thinking of the planet under his feet, it was likely to be the eternal heart of one of the five gods, and it was not realistic to explode.
"Rogers, this stubborn guy."
Accepting the "Worden's Blood" transformation and shortening the life cycle is not a big problem in Luke's opinion.
However, for Captain America, who is a normal human, it is even worse.
Before participating in this program, Luke also made a point to remind Rogers.
Unfortunately, the latter did not choose to back down.
"I want to see results as soon as possible."
Luke reined in his thoughts and said lightly.
Time was running out for the Confederates and him.
