Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Aegis Brotherhood, the Terror of Homo erectus
With a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, the ancient Egyptian pharaohs......
Hearing this, a flash of light flashed in Luke's head.
He finally knew why the name "Imhotep" was familiar.
This ancient Egyptian was not only one of the most accomplished pharaohs of the Third Dynasty, but was revered by later generations as the "god of medicine and wisdom" and was worshipped for all eternity.
His real identity is a superhero in ancient times.
Although he doesn't have any superpowers, he fights purely by the flesh, but his strength is ridiculously strong.
Forcefully led a group of Egyptian natives with spears and shields to defeat alien creatures whose biotechnology was unknown to the earth.
Belong to the "ordinary people" who punch mammoths and kick saber-toothed tigers.
It can be called a "terrifying Homo erectus" in human form, and can press alien creatures to the ground with two hands.
Apocalypse, who later called himself the "ancestor of mutants", was a student of Imhotep back then, and once fought side by side together.
At that time, the apocalypse, while cutting the alien zerg, was cheering for the teacher, and there was no aura of the big guy in the future.
"It's been a long time......"
Luke secretly sighed, he didn't expect the biological modification technology behind the Aryan Superman made in Berlin to come from that ancient era.
But if you think about it, you can't find anything wrong.
Later, the Brotherhood of the Aegis, a secret organization founded by various historical celebrities, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Newton, Tesla, Galileo, etc., adopted the eagle emblem from the shield held by Imhotep.
As for the later S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, and Leviathan, all three are actually of the same origin, with more or less traces of the Aegis Brotherhood, but they are just going in different directions.
Therefore, it makes sense that the Third Reich, which inherited a part of the Hydra's legacy, would get the biomodification technology of the "Bruder Zerg".
"In the beginning, the Germans did not know that the ancient texts contained cutting-edge technology to modify the human body. The study of it was more out of academic curiosity, but when someone deciphered the contents of the first chapter, everything changed. ”
Unaware that Luke had already speculated the whole thing, Stephanie lifted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose and continued: "The Germans realized they had found a treasure! A key was found to open the door to a new human world - and the Holy General, who was in charge of it all, reported the news to the Führer, and the entire 'Aryan Superman' project was put into operation. ”
"Three divisions were set up separately. The first is based on the content of the literature to make a catalyst to transform the human body, that is, 'Worden's blood'. The second is responsible for screening receptors and finding suitable targets for modification. The third and currently the largest institution is responsible for modifying the human body and mass-producing those monsters. ”
"And that's not the worst. The Holy General only translated one-fifth of that ancient text, that is, in addition to the 'tank class' and 'battleship class', there may be more powerful Aryan supermen in the future. ”
After Stephanie finished speaking, the Prime Minister fell silent.
A more powerful Aryan superman?
"Aircraft carrier class"?
Luke, who was quiet, blinked, he was thinking about his late development, what level was it?
"Nuclear bomb grade"?
"Space battleship class"?
"Star Destroyer class"?
"Two-way foil grade"?
As for the threat of Aryan Superman, to be honest, he didn't take it very seriously.
It's not too inflated, or blindly confident, calm down a little, and think about it with your head, you can guess that these low-profile "supermen" who have been modified by the human body must have some kind of huge flaw that no one knows.
Otherwise, as early as the ancient Egyptian period, the "Brud Zerg" would have ruled the world, and where would it be necessary to wait until the Third Reich to inherit this technology.
"Tell me, Stephanie, are those- Superman capable of growth? Why hasn't mass production been implemented in the Third Reich yet? ”
The prime minister is a veteran politician with a nimble wrist, and quickly identified several key issues from the words of the female spy.
"At the moment, mass production is an impossible task. Research has shown that Worden's blood, which acts as a catalyst, will only work on about 1 in 5,000 subjects, starting the transformation process. ”
Stephanie saw the prime minister who wanted to reach out and touch, and hurriedly stopped: "For others, it is a lethal contact poison." ”
"In that ancient document, there is a way to identify the target, but the Holy General can't decipher it, so he comes up with another cruel plan."
"First test the catalyst on thousands of prisoners, but also on the Jews, on the Soviet prisoners. Blood is then taken from survivors for specialized testing. ”
"Then, use the identified blood on a large scale to flag potential targets—soldiers who are similar to survivors and meet the requirements of Worden's blood," and recruit them into the ranks."
"In the end, as long as those soldiers are all listed as catalysts, one will always pass - those hundreds of 'tank class' and three 'battleship class' all came this way."
After hearing this, the prime minister couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Stephanie destroys a production plant, and the "Worden Blood" needs to be cultivated, coupled with the low success rate of building Aryan Superman.
This series of reasons made it difficult for the Axis powers to complete the final plan of pushing the European continent in a short period of time, and won a respite for the Allies.
"Brigadier General Cavill, what do you think?"
The Prime Minister extinguished the half-smoked cigar and looked at Luke expectantly.
Stephanie put the Allies and the Axis powers on the same page again, and had the capital to participate in the game.
But this did not mean that the scales of victory were beginning to tip in favor of the Allies.
In a sense, this war that has swept the world has become a contest and attrition between cutting-edge combat forces.
Ordinary soldiers have been reduced to cannon fodder, and even tanks and bombers cannot completely influence the change of situation.
Luke, the only Superman possessed by the Allies.
And the combat power he has shown has surpassed the "tank level" of the Third Reich.
There is no doubt about the young brigadier general's strategic position or personal ability.
"I think the most important thing at this stage is to gather the Strategic Science Corps to study the ingredients of 'Worden's blood' and cultivate it. And, screening qualified soldiers as recipients"
Luke's thoughts were clear, he looked at the red hedron in the glassware, and said in a deep voice, "We can use the red hedron that Lady Stephanie brought back as a reagent to draw the blood of those soldiers who have been drafted into the army. ”
"As long as the blood reacts with the red spar, it can be selected as the receptor and try the subsequent transformation plan."
Luke's idea made both the Prime Minister and Stephanie's eyes light up.
It's not really a problem, but just after hearing all of this, you can immediately figure out an actionable solution from the huge amount of information.
It takes keen insight and quick reactions!
"I'll tell the Allied Command to call back the Strategic Science Corps as soon as possible - you will lead it. Brigadier General Cavill, as the savior of the Allies, you couldn't be more suitable! ”
The prime minister is well versed in the art of brushing up favors and winning over people, and quietly sends Luke to this position of real power.
The Axis powers that the Strategic Science Corps has to fight against must enjoy the resources and status of the top.
Being able to sit in the leadership position is really helpful for future development.
"It's an honor to be able to contribute a little more to the Allies."
Luke said with a look of sincerity.
"My greatest wish is world peace! Any careerist who tries to stir up strife is my enemy! ”
The prime minister laughed twice, firmly held Luke's right hand, and said emotionally: "It's really fate, my life's greatest ideal, and world peace." ”
"I can tell at a glance that Your Excellency the Prime Minister is also a pacifist with a heart for the world."
Luke pouted imperceptibly.
The most famous prime minister of the British Empire was later nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Ironically, the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, who was captured by Luke himself, and the Berlin Füller were nominated for the award.
So, those judges have always been able to redefine the word "peace."
