Chapter Eighty-Seven: Exceeding the Task

Twenty minutes after the call, Michael Paso arrived at Victor von Doom's institute with an Inhuman under his control. He succinctly explains to Doom about the Hive's relationship with the Inhumans, explaining how the Hive can control the Inhumans and make sure they work for him, and he hopes that Doom will study how his abilities work and deal with them.

For some reason, medications such as sedatives and anesthetics don't seem to work at all on Inhumans infected by the hive. So in order to make the stranger quiet and cooperate with the experiment, Michael cast a small hypnotic spell on him. As long as the mana he injected into him is not exhausted, the Inhuman will sleep like a dead pig the whole time.

Doom didn't ask much. He fixed the stranger on the bed board and pushed him into the institute's biological laboratory, and neatly put on his mask and gloves to prepare for work, looking like the chief surgeon who had undergone emergency surgery.

He used all kinds of cutting-edge medical equipment in the institute to perform a thorough examination of this alien inside and out, from bones, body fluids, muscles to skin, every internal organ, organ and even nervous system was completely monitored, and he almost pulled out his soul and put it under the microscope to observe (this part is actually not impossible for Michael).

Two hours later, Doom threw down his gloves and mask and walked out of the lab. He remotely turned on the computer's floating virtual screen and showed the results to Michael.

Michael glanced at the complex medical images and data results on the screen.

"You look like you're having a clue?"

"I can't pretend to say, 'It's not a big deal, it's something I've seen for a long time,' because of this...... I really have never heard of it, or even heard of anything like it. Doom said.

"Explain."

Doom organized the language.

"Well, first of all, I did find out that the guy you said can infect and transform these superpowers...... You call them 'Inhumans'? It doesn't matter, I did find the reason anyway. ”

Doom said, reaching out and zooming in on an image of the Inhuman's brain.

"Look here." He pointed to a part of the brain image, "This area is the main part of the parasite cluster. ”

"The nerve center that controls pleasure?"

Doom nodded, "As we know, normally parasites tend to attack the host's body organs, weakening its various physiological functions. But the parasite in our case is different. They inhabit pleasure centers and constantly release dopamine, which stimulates the host to feel confident, comfortable, confident, and even invincible. ”

After a pause, he frowned, "Actually, I've noticed that these parasites may have a little bit of this effect. They strengthen the host's body in an extremely unique way, greatly increasing their patience and resilience, while weakening their ability to perceive and receive pain. ”

"So that's why sedatives don't work for them." Michael Dow.

"Not only that, but it also has a big impact on their sports and battles." Doom held his chin, "It's incredible. Such a tiny amount of parasites can have such an effect, and you say that these infections are from a collection of a large number of parasites? It's hard to imagine how powerful such a huge number of parasites would be when they gathered in the same body......"

"I've seen it." Michael said blandly, "That's it." ”

Doom choked. He remembered that not long ago, he had witnessed this guy in front of him fighting a real demon in hell. If compared to this kind of monster, then a mass of parasites really doesn't seem to be surprising.

Michael asked again, "What about the solution?" Have you found a way to reverse this process? ”

"Without enough testing, experimentation, and data comparisons, I can't give a definitive answer." Doom paused, then changed his tone, "But I do have a good chance of a feasible plan." ”

Michael didn't actually expect Doom to answer so easily, as he had only gone in and examined an infected Inhuman for two hours. And Michael vaguely remembers that in the TV series of "S.H.I.E.L.D.", the genius science team of Aegis was unable to develop a perfect antidote, which showed that the infection of the hive was indeed unusually difficult to remove.

But Doom's answer sounded quite confident.

Doom stretched out his hand and swiped another virtual screen out of thin air, and after opening a new project file with a few clicks, he raised his hand and swiped the screen interface to Michael. Michael reached out to catch it.

In the interface is a small robot in the shape of a reptile, which is small in size, but the design is quite delicate and delicate. Michael glanced at a brief introduction: "Nanomachines? ”

"Yes, a project that I developed in the past, I call them 'nanoworms.'" "I believe I can program them to attack parasites in specific areas of the host's body. ”

"There will be no side effects?" Michael remembers that a certain antitoxin found by Aegis in the TV series risks destroying the subject's Inhuman immune system.

Doom said proudly: "Of course not. Who do you think I am? I never come up with half-baked products, and what Doom comes up with is always the best and perfect. ”

Arrogance is arrogance, but it has to be said that Victor von Doom is indeed a bit too talented. He actually figured out the principle of the hive's infectious ability with only two hours of examination, and gave a near-perfect solution.

And Doom was almost a momentary super-all-round genius, physics, robotics, cybernetics, genetics, weapons technology, biochemistry, and the theory of time...... Basically, he is a top expert in all science-related subjects. He learns and receives knowledge so quickly that if he hadn't known the character of Doom, Michael would have almost wondered if this thing would have been some kind of hanging creature with a super brain's golden finger.

"Do you want to know more about the plan?" Doom asked.

"No need." Michael stretched out his hand and swiped to close the interface, "You can design it yourself, and let me know when it's done." ”

After a pause, he turned to mention in passing: "But how is the specific progress of the design plan of the multi-functional machine that was handed over to you before?" ”

"It may take a while."

When this topic was mentioned, Durm was immediately a little deflated. He closed the nanobug project and quickly picked out the robot-related item from the list of files. He used four different types of aircraft, each of which was opened to show the boss in a separate interface.

"I've tried to figure it out." "I tried to improve the materials as much as I could on the basis of the defensive capability, and I tried various alloys. I adjusted the energy transfer efficiency to reduce the loss of energy consumption, so as to achieve extended endurance combat capability without increasing energy consumption. Then, in order to achieve the dual requirements of short-range displacement and long-distance flight speed, I modified the thrusters of the air combat aircraft to two, of which the pulse booster is used for short-distance high-speed bursts, and the long-range thruster has a slower start, but the top speed can barely reach supersonic speed...... However, in any case, the average budget for each unit is still more than 700,000. I'm still trying to improve. ”

Michael's eyes swept over the drawings of the four models of machines, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily lifted, and he couldn't help but smile approvingly.

He told Doom that each of these mass-produced machines should not cost more than half a million yuan, in fact, he himself knew how demanding such a requirement was. When he did this, he only wanted to make the task seem challenging enough, and didn't really expect Doom to achieve this goal, which was practically impossible.

But who would have thought that? This guy has really reduced the cost of a single robot to 700,000 in such a short period of time, and all the performance is barely up to the expected value that Michael listed before. This has greatly exceeded his expectations.

Michael closed his fingers, turned off all the interfaces floating in front of him, and said, "That's it." Mission well done, Victor. ”

Dum was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood something, and said unhappily: "Wait, you said the request of 500,000 before...... Are you kidding me? ”

"That's not a trick on you, Victor, it's a goal worth working on. If I've been assigning you unchallenging tasks, how can you improve? Michael said, "Look, aren't you going to break through yourself?" ”

Doom opened his mouth in dissatisfaction and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the melody of a cell phone ringing music.

"Sorry, I have to pick it up."

Michael took out his phone and connected the call: "Shirley? ”

"Sorry to bother, sir. But there are clues on the surface, and the hive may be showing up again. ”

"Good." Michael said lightly, "Then we have to make sure he can't run again this time." ”
