Chapter Ninety-Four: Three Laboratories, Different Projects

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s underground area, minus three floors.

Ordinary agents and civilians are not allowed to set foot in this area, and only Luke, who is the director, and Commander Carter, have free access to the area.

Many have speculated that S.H.I.E.L.D. may be conducting some kind of secret research, and it is not clear what it is.

In fact, this is the laboratory where the project team led by Bolívar participated in the mapping of the mutant genome.

Under this pretext, Luke also applied for an experimental grant from the Congressional budget committee.

I have to say, the wool of Congress is really easy to pick.

Get a few reports under your hand, bring Bolívar to the White House, and give a few speeches about mutants.

Then you can cheat millions of dollars, which is even more profitable than robbing a bank.

On the other hand, the FBI and CIA bigwigs can only silently just lemon.

It was also a fraud funding, and they had to arrest a group of spies and give strong enough evidence to trumpet the threat of the Soviet Union.

In the end, it may not be able to impress the president and get the other party to allocate money.

It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating!

"No wonder Nick Fury is so fond of embezzlement, it's so easy to get money, who spends it and doesn't spend it."

Luke thought to himself.

When the Atlanteans come to the fore, they can find the White House to cheat a sum of money.

And then what Hydra, Inhumans...... At that time, you don't have to wait for Skynet to be established, and you will be able to become a top rich man.

Sure enough, being the head of S.H.I.E.L.D. is much more promising than being the Minister of Defense.

"Stryker, you're going to be happy with this place."

Luke took the elevator and went all the way down.

William Stryker, who will become a mutant butcher in the future, may not be as strong as Bolívar's scientific acumen and Victor the saber-toothed tiger.

But even a piece of toilet paper has its own use.

Luke believes that Stryker and Bolívar, the teacher and student, will definitely collide with different sparks of inspiration.

"General...... Are you studying those monsters? ”

Stryker remembers the violent scene in the barracks cell, where Luke kicks the flying saber-toothed tiger Victor.

The latter's injuries were obviously extremely serious, but it didn't take long for him to recover on his own, and he didn't even need to find a doctor to come for treatment.

"They're called mutants."

Luke corrected.

"Pay attention to the title, or I can't guarantee that you won't be torn to shreds by some bad-tempered mutants."

Stryker nodded silently, jot down the word "mutant".

He walked along and saw a number of hurried researchers in white lab coats.

The further you go inside, the quieter the atmosphere becomes.

"General, Dr. Teslak is in Lab Three."

A person in charge stepped forward, and recently the entire research institute has been busy copying "leech serum", working overtime for several days in a row.

Luke nodded, motioning to know.

After finding Victor the Sabertooth Tiger, he collected the genetic fragments of five mutants, and he completed the main quest of "The Third Faction Opens".

Leech serum, which can inhibit the ability of mutants, is the reward.

Not only that, but the main quest for the next stage has also been updated.

[Main Quest: The Rise of the Third Faction, the Return of the Legion!] 】

[Requirements: Be the leader of either faction of the mutants.] (4/10)】

[Reward: "Clark Kent's Glasses"]

"It means that you can casually transform into a tall and strong sunny reporter in the future?"

When Luke saw the award, he said that he didn't need to disguise, and he was not interested in applying for a job at the Clarion Daily.

"That's Dr. Teslak, he's in charge of all things in Lab 3 and you're your boss."

Stryker arrives at Lab 3 with a curious face written on his face, and Luke points to Bolivar, who is in a rage.

"Don't look at his bad temper now, in fact, he is a very gentle person in private."

Stryker looked at the dwarf scientist and thought that this was not convincing.

"You'll learn about mutants in Lab Three now, and you'll join the Weapon X program later."

With Stryker arranged, Luke walked towards Bolívar and asked with a smile, "What is it that deserves your fuss, Dr. Teslak?" ”

"Mommy...... General, you are here. ”

Bolívar noticed a tall figure enveloping him, and quickly turned his head and said calmly: "These fools, I can't communicate with them normally at all - just like humans can't talk to gorillas in a zoo!" ”

The dwarf scientist's poisonous tongue is mean, and occasionally he can be compared to the future Iron Man.

Luke could only wave his hand and let the researchers, who had graduated from prestigious universities, leave, to avoid more heart-wrenching verbal insults.

"Leech serum replication project, how far has it progressed?"

Mr. Major General digressed from the topic, geniuses will have some unbearable flaws or faults.

Howard, for example, has the traditional narcissism and arrogance of his family, and in his eyes the military's order procurement officer is no different from a chimpanzee dressed in human appearance.

The same is true for Bolívar, who will scold and attack his fellow researchers when he finds that he can't keep up with his own pace.

Many poor newcomers with fragile psychological qualities were even scolded to the point of doubting life and crying bitterly.

"It's almost done."

Bolívar held his head confidently high.

From an independent scientist with no funds, no investors, and no personal laboratory, to Dr. Teslak, who is now in charge of many researchers, experimental instruments, and office space.

He is very satisfied with his current treatment and life.

The only pity may be that Major General Cavill forbids himself to dissect mutants.

"Good. Keep working on it, I need to develop it into a weapon. ”

Luke said with his head down.

Namor, the king of the sea, is also a mutant, and the leech serum can pose a threat to the other party.

After visiting Laboratory 3 and examining Bolívar's work, Luke turned around and went to Laboratory 2.

It was Dr. Anim Zola's office, responsible for deciphering the ancient texts of the Brudezerg and studying the blood of Worden.

At the end of the war, the Allies recovered all the surviving "tank-class" soldiers.

According to subsequent observations, more than half of them only live to be 35 years old, and the other half are so old that they are estimated to not have even lived three to four years.

Such a serious level of consumption made the military dispel the idea of mass production.

The reason why Luke asked Dr. Zola to spend time researching was mainly because Worden's blood had the effect of deeply modifying cells and improving energy storage and absorption.

As for the increase in other aspects, it has little effect on Superman.

Also, that guy from Rogers is "Battleship class".

It stands to reason that the cost of life will only be more severe than that of the "tank class".

If you can decipher all of the Brudezerg's technology, you might be able to find a solution.

"There's no hope in sight for the time being."

Dr. Zola shook his head.

"The original intention of the Bruder Zerg to develop this technology was to create weapons of war. The survival cycle of the test subjects, they don't pay much attention to it. ”

Luke nodded, letting Dr. Zola continue his research.

Next, I went to Lab One, which was Howard's territory.

The main project is to extract the infinite energy of the Rubik's Cube in the universe, and Dr. Zola has provided a lot of ideas on this.

After all, Hydra's energy weapon came from him.

"The Cosmic Rubik's Cube is like running out of energy, and it does not respond to any external stimuli."

Seeing Luke coming, Howard was a little distressed.

He tried a variety of methods, but to no avail.

Even Dr. Zola's previous metal instrument, which had succeeded in extracting infinite energy, had lost its effect.

Luke looked away weakly, maybe it had something to do with him.

When I held the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, I absorbed a lot of energy.

Perhaps this is the reason why it goes into indefinite standby.

"What's the extra discovery?"

Luke digressed.

"Uh--I'm starting to think about building a fusion reactor, is that a new discovery?"

Howard scratched his head and said, "Build a circular vacuum chamber with coils around the outside and then energize it." This creates a huge spiral magnetic field inside, and I heat the plasma to a very high temperature to achieve nuclear fusion – if it does, it will be enough to solve the energy crisis of the future! ”

"Then you continue to work hard, and when you succeed, I can give you a gift."

Luke smiled meaningfully.

He didn't expect Howard to have the amazing idea of building a large Ark reactor right now.

If the downsizing can be achieved, then Iron Man will be able to appear in advance.
