The sky was overcast, as if a rainstorm was going to fall at any moment.

With a messy hair and a muttered curse on the damn weather, Samuel Stern, a professor in the Department of Cell Biology at Greyburn College, spends most of his time in the lab and tinkering with the equipment, carrying his briefcase and muttering the damn weather.

This raunchy biology professor has a very perfunctory way of lecturing, basically reading the lesson plan for a few minutes, and then letting the students read the book on their own, he hates to explain gene regulation, protein science, cell signaling and other knowledge to a bunch of hairy boys, and then has to accept the endless questions of this group of sluggish, slow-thinking goofy geese like eighty-year-old grandmothers.

The answers to unimaginably simple questions can be found in books. Samuel Stern thought with a pout.

He is a well-known weirdo in Greyburn College, he doesn't like to socialize, he has a very poor popularity, he has always been a loner, and most of the time he is buried in some inexplicable research, especially in recent days, it is strictly forbidden for others to break into his private laboratory without permission, and even cleaning and other cleaning work must be taken care of by himself.

This made some teachers secretly speculate behind their backs, thinking that Samuel Stern was conducting some ulterior illegal research in private, of course, this was just a casual joke between colleagues, and no one would take it seriously.

An independent scholar like Dr. Stearns, who has no permanent source of funding, and no generous investors, can only stay in the school's humble laboratory. The scientific community has always been a very realistic and cruel place, and it is sad that he does not have either of these things.

Of course, the talent referred to here is a veritable genius like Reed Richards and Bruce Banner, after all, people only leave their eyes and admiration to the first place, and as for those who rank the latter, who cares?

As the bell rang for the end of class, Samuel left the classroom before all the students did, and he walked briskly to his private laboratory—a cramped, old room with all kinds of equipment crammed together that looked more like a cluttered bachelor apartment.

Independent scholars sound very free, but they are not well-known enough, they can't find investors or large enterprises to fund them, and they barely live this embarrassing life, using backward instruments and facilities, and due to the limitations of funds and manpower, they can only bury their heads in low-cost research and do some low-cost partial research, which will only become more and more distant from the mainstream position of scientists in the long run.

Samuel Stern is a notable example of this, he is not uneducated, on the contrary, he is quite talented in science, but he has an eccentric personality, is extreme and stubborn, and has a very high self-esteem, has been kicked out of the research team several times, and finally has to work as a teacher in a school that is not well-known.

"Someday, I'm going to let those idiots know that they've missed the chance to work with a true genius!"

Samuel sneered, he turned on the computer, used the ID of "Mr. Blue", and entered the encrypted channel, he waited for someone to appear with great anticipation.

He first met Bruce Banner, who goes by the pseudonym "Mr. Green", two months ago, when he happened to see someone on a rather secretive forum asking how to reduce the concentration of gamma rays in the blood, claiming to have seen someone exposed to a huge amount of gamma rays and survived.

Many people have left a message that this is nonsense, it is impossible for someone to pass through the impact of gamma rays, but also to be unharmed, the rays will enter the inside of the human body, and ionize with the cells, the ions produced can erode complex organic molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids and enzymes, they are the main components of living cells, once destroyed, it will cause the normal chemical processes in the human body to be disturbed, resulting in a large number of cell death.

This is the basic content of biology, when the human body is exposed to gamma radiation dose of 200-600 rem, the human hematopoietic organs such as bone marrow will be damaged, white blood cells will be severely reduced, internal bleeding, hair loss, the probability of death within two months is 0-80%; When the radiation dose is 600-1000 rem, the probability of death within two months is 80-100%; When the radiation dose is more than 5000 rem, it can cause damage to the central nervous system, spasms, tremors, disorders, drowsiness, and the probability of death within two days is 100%.

The radiation dose that "Mr. Green" said is far beyond the 100% probability of death, simply put, when the person is exposed to gamma rays in the first second, it directly welcomes the arrival of death, if there is really someone who survives, it must be a great miracle that is difficult to explain with science.

Out of boredom, Samuel Stern contacted the other party under the pseudonym "Mr. Blue", and after a brief conversation, he gradually believed the "Mr. Green" statement, because all the data and processes were very convincing.

Samuel is desperate to get a blood sample from "Mr. Green" to complete his research, and if he can break through the key puzzle and use gamma rays, he will become the world's top scientific figure, and maybe even win the Nobel Prize in one fell swoop.

With a utilitarian purpose, he helps Banner academically under the pseudonym "Mr. Green", while the other party also tries to use Samuel to find the real reason why his emotions will become Hulk.

"I want more information." He called Mr. Green.

Not long ago, Samuel got Banner's blood sample, and immediately compared and studied it, and with his keen intuition and rich knowledge, he quickly cultivated several experimental samples - mice injected with diluted serum, even if the radiation concentration in the blood was repeatedly reduced, but those poor little guys still couldn't last a few minutes, and they all exploded into a pile of pale green flesh and blood fragments.

Several failures in a row made Dr. Stern, who thought of himself very high, full of anger, and he stubbornly believed that he had obtained too little first-hand information, so he asked "Mr. Green" to provide more information, such as the degree of exposure, gamma concentration, and cell saturation, etc., but all the experimental data were sealed by the military, and Banner could not get it at all, and in his inner insecurity, he repeatedly refused the suggestion to meet "Mr. Blue" directly.

This makes Samuel angry, he thinks that he wants to help Mr. Midori, but the other party is secretive, which is extremely annoying!

"Idiot! I have to get more blood samples! Experimental data! He shouted manically, waving his hands vigorously.

If he didn't get the original experimental data and detailed data, then Samuel would not have been able to replicate the scene at that time, and as for proposing a mature potion from the serum, it would be even more wishful thinking!

"I can help you. Bring the information, it's time to meet. Mr. Lan made another request.

Samuel stared nervously at the computer screen, his messy hair and greasy face, quite in line with the image of Frankenstein in film and television dramas.

"Okay." After waiting for about ten minutes, Mr. Midori replied to the message.

Unexpectedly, this time the other party did not refuse Mr. Lan's proposal and chose to agree to meet in person.

Samuel waved his arms excitedly, his eyes twinkling, as if he saw fame and fortune beckoning to him, all kinds of praise poured in, and he stood on the podium in Stockholm to receive the glittering Nobel Gold Medal.

And on the other end of the network, Bruce Banner, who goes by the pseudonym Mr. Green, has sneaked back to Corvo University in Virginia. He silently closed the computer, thinking of the bitterness and ups and downs of this escape, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal deep pain.

After the arrest in Brazil, he understands that the military will not let him go unchecked, so even if he takes any risks, Banner has to meet with Mr. Blue to find a solution to the gamma rays in his body.

"Betty ......", a once high-spirited genius, is now at the lowest point in his life.
