Chapter 8: The Military's Calculations
"I see, keep stopping them, but don't do anything aggressive, especially to the woman from another world. ”
Putting down the communicator in his hand, Rose glanced at the young man with a drunken face, and asked the guard beside him, "The scene has been dealt with, is there any omission?"
"No, General, we've done three rechecks, and nothing will go wrong. ”
Nodding, the old man in military uniform came to the young man who was staring at the test tube in his hand, and said in a gentle tone, "Thank you for playing the role, Dr. Killian." ”
"Huh?"
The young man clenched the test tube in his hand, glanced at General Ross in confusion, and after a while he came to his senses completely, smiled embarrassedly, and said modestly, "If it weren't for Miss Betty, I wouldn't have been able to get in touch with Dr. Banner." ”
Rose laughed heartily, patted Killian on the shoulder, hid the cold color in his eyes just right, turned to the guard next to him and asked, "Where did Betty go?"
"Uh...... Miss Betty goes to Banner ...... Oh no, I'm going to find the Hulk!"
"Nonsense!"
General Ross scolded angrily, although he knew that his soldiers were following, but the danger of the Hulk still made him very worried about his daughter's situation, and he was losing his temper, and when he looked up and saw that the guards in the room were still standing like wooden people, he immediately became angry: "What are you doing in a daze, go and get her back!"
Two guards walked out the door, and three were still standing.
"You guys go too, and tie her up for me!"
Hearing the order of their superiors, the remaining guards looked at each other a few times, and one of the soldiers stubbornly said, "General, you are ...... here"
"Get out, get out!"
After scolding all his men away, General Ross, who was still angry, gasped heavily.
"General, don't worry, Miss Betty......"
"I've thought about it, Dr. Killian, there's a great possibility that the 'virus plan' you mentioned will be implemented, so I've decided to let you preside over a new round of the 'Super Soldier Project', I wonder what you think?"
Aldridge Killian was interrupted by General Ross before he could finish his words, and he was in no mood to appease the other party's careful mind that anyone with a discerning eye could see, so it was better to get straight to the point.
"You mean, let me preside?"
The young man looked at Rose who nodded with a smile, stunned and mixed with joy.
To be honest, he handed the plan to Ross's desk by chance, not expecting the military to approve of his virus research and development plan, which was mostly in his vision.
This time, he helped the military disguise himself as an expert in biological therapy to trap Hulk, also in order to get closer to the military and win a certain amount of research and development funds.
Unexpectedly, General Ross not only approved his idea, but also applied it to the 'Super Soldier Project', and entrusted him with the relevant research and development work, how can this not make Kiri, who thinks he is talented but has always been ignored and despised, grateful.
Who was born in the first 'Super Soldier Project'?
Captain America!
The thought of having the title "Founder of the New Captain America" or "Founder of the Super Soldier Corps" in front of his name made Killian feel overwhelmed.
"General, I won't let you down!"
Killian swore that he couldn't wait to start experimenting with the ideas that had sprung up in his mind right now.
"That's good," General Ross said with a kind smile, his hand blocked by the table removed from the holster at his side, and he looked at the test tube that was clutched tightly in Killian's hand, "There is one thing I need to remind you, Dr. Killian. ”
"Our plan to trap the Hulk failed this time, and although we were given a lot of blood, it must not be wasted in the slightest, because Bruce Banner will not be fooled a second time, so I hope you can understand that these precious blood samples have to be sealed. ”
"But General, if I can study these blood samples, then our 'Super Soldier Project' ......"
"I know what you mean, Dr. Killian. ”
Rose interrupted the other party again, firmly grasping the rhythm of the conversation: "I didn't say that you wouldn't be allowed to study, you are the person in charge of the project, the person with the highest authority in this project besides me." ”
"In fact, not only will Bruce Banner's blood samples be open to you, but you will also be given the immature Superhuman serum samples left over from the past and the remaining research manuscripts of the 'First Super Soldier Project'. ”
"However, the research and development process needs to be supervised by the military, after all, these small number of experimental samples are very precious, and we don't want another uncontrolled Hulk to emerge. ”
"Of course, I fully agree with you. ”
Hearing that not only Dr. Banner's blood sample could be studied, but also the superhuman serum pre-samples and research manuscripts left over from the American team, Killian nodded hurriedly and excitedly assured General Ross: "Please rest assured, General, with these materials and research materials, I will definitely be able to overcome the defects of the 'Desperate Virus' and deliver the perfect finished product to you." ”
"Flawed?"
Rose's brows furrowed, thinking about the plan he had seen, and asked Killian, "Are you talking about the increase in body temperature caused by rapid regeneration?"
"Yes, according to my guess, the nature of the 'Desperate Virus' will be ..... after synthesis."
Speaking of his pride, Killian was in a good mood, but Rose was not in the mood to listen to his lecture, and waved his hand to interrupt the young man's chatter: "You need to change your mind, Dr. Killian, you are not developing a civilian drug to restore the mobility of the disabled, but a military product." ”
"I don't think you're talking about the flaws of the 'Desperate Virus', on the contrary, that's where the superhuman potion you studied is strong and needs to be strengthened. ”
"What do you mean ......"
Killian looked surprised, and despite his extreme personality, he still couldn't accept Rose's almost crazy ideas.
"Imagine a powerful, super-fast soldier shuttling through the battlefield, like a sharp knife into the weakest part of the enemy's defenses, and when the enemy besieges him with great effort, the roar of the hinterland lets everyone know that the death of the super soldier is not the end of the nightmare, but the beginning of a new round of fear. ”
"But general, this ...... It's not humane, is it?"
After listening to Rose's description, Killian not only did not have a rush of blood, but hesitated.
Let all the disabled super soldiers die on the battlefield and contribute their last strength to the victory of the war, looking at Rose at the mention of this idea, Killian felt a chill that froze through the bone marrow.
"You know how many soldiers who are in a desperate situation choose to pull the thunder ring and die with the enemy, and how many soldiers who retired after being disabled and retired committed suicide because they couldn't accept the gap in their hearts. ”
"There is no right or wrong tool, there is no war, and America has never had a shortage of soldiers who are willing to give their lives bravely, especially young people who have grown up inspired by Captain America's story. ”
"And as long as the side effects of the agent are explained in advance, there is nothing inhumane. ”
As Rose spoke, Killian's hesitant countenance regained firmness.
It's not that he's been persuaded by the other party's words, it's that he can't find any other investors besides the military who can fully support his "virus plan", and the new Super Soldier serum is more valuable than civilian drugs for the disabled.
As for where it will be used after it is developed, whether Ross will explain the side effects and related precautions to the soldiers who injected the drug in advance, and whether the soldiers who are selected to receive the injection are voluntary, has little to do with him.
What he needs is fame, the admiration of the world, the proof to all the despicable that his genius ideas are not conjectures, and that the playboy who hangs himself on the rooftop to blow the wind will pay a terrible price!
