Chapter 7: The Devil
"Wait!" The Scarlet Witch suddenly stood up, stared straight into Li Ang's eyes, her eyebrows twisted, and said solemnly: "You are not the kind of person who will succumb to the threat of force, let alone a crazy speculator who is desperate; What I see in you is only the deepest intellect, indifference, and ruthlessness.
Why would such people choose to help us? ”
Li Ang spread his hands and smiled: "If I say that I am actually a good person with a cold face and a warm heart, I like to do good deeds, and I don't want others to suffer the most, is this reason okay?" ”
The Scarlet Witch narrowed her eyes and spat out two words without smiling: "Hehe." ”
"Alas...."Li Ang sighed, rubbed his eyebrows, and asked, "Dare to ask the girl's name?" ”
"Wanda, Wanda Maximov." The Scarlet Witch frowned and said, "If you want to get close to me, it's best to get rid of it." ”
Leon pursed his lips and said, "Miss Maximov, can you tell me what your ability is?" ”
Wanda glanced at Magneto, who nodded slightly, giving her an affirmative look.
"My ability is chaos magic," Scarlet Witch stretched out her slender white fingers and swiped twice through the air, pulling out a scarlet red ray that shimmered with tail flames, "or more accurately, distorting and rewriting reality through self-awareness." ”
She stretched out her arms, and a raging fire rose from the hem of her dress to form a thin fiery serpent.
The thin snake crawled on the wooden floor, but without leaving a scorched black mark, until it crawled in front of Leon, propped up its upper body, and spat long snake letters at him.
In the next second, the snake suddenly burst out, biting at Li Ang's arm with lightning and thunder, but before its scimitar-like fangs pierced into his skin, it suddenly extinguished, and was replaced by a green vine, wrapped around Li Ang's fingertips.
The vine was slender and long, with a delicate unknown flower blooming in the middle, and even round dewdrops remained on the purple-red oval petals.
Wanda waved her hand, withdrew this seemingly real and illusory ability, looked at Leon expressionlessly, and said, "This is just a small measure, the place is too small to be used." ”
"That's enough." Leon was still immersed in the contemplation of the scene, and said casually: "Miss Maximov, your ability is indeed magical, but can you tell me what is the limit of your strength?" ”
"If it's used for offense, it's probably easy to tear down a building," Wanda hesitated for a moment before saying, "If it's used for defense, it can probably block the barrage of the main battle tank." ”
"Sounds powerful," Leon shook his head and said, "but one kilogram of trinitrotoluene, commonly known as TNT, can release 4.2 million joules of energy."
An ordinary anti-tank mine, equivalent to 35 kilograms of TNT, can also release 150 million joules of energy.
The Type 77 napalm released 1.5 gigajoules of energy. ”
Wanda replied unconvincedly: "If I go all out, it will definitely be no worse than any napalm." ”
"Yes, but can you compare to a 5.4 gigajoule Tomahawk missile, an 18 gigajoule seismic wave bomb, or even a 4.6 billion gigajoules large air blast bomb?" Leon said indifferently: "The power of the human body is limited after all, and even if the current mutants use their abilities to the extreme, they are far inferior to those man-made weapons with destructive properties. ”
Although Wanda was unwilling, she still couldn't find any words to refute it, so she could only stare at Li Ang with a sullen breath.
"The talent of mutants, it is simply a huge waste to use it at the combat level." Li Ang ignored her and said in a deep voice: "Just imagine, Magneto's magnetic field manipulation can be used to survey mineral deposits and help develop scientific research equipment; Quicksilver's ability helps to explore the limits of cellular metabolic capacity;
And your ability to distort reality by one's own will is completely contrary to the second law of thermodynamics, and if I can start from this and enter into research, I can even get a glimpse of the mystery of entropy increase in thermodynamics. ”
Leon always wore a calm and solemn expression, and his majestic momentum completely overwhelmed these pretentious mutant elites, making them unable to say a word of rebuttal.
"Every mutant present, your DNA is also a polymer compound composed of base pairs formed by the four deoxynucleotides A-T-G-C through hydrogen bonds," Leon said in a very frank and gentle tone like a guinea pig, "The reason I help you is to find out your special code hidden in your genes, so that I can go one step further on the road of pursuing the truth, that's all." ”
Magneto stared at the ordinary Chinese young man in front of him, and suddenly an unreal illusion arose in his heart, his own well-established federal wanted criminal compared to Li Ang, but like a harmless little animal to humans and animals.
After hesitating for a moment, Magneto said hoarsely, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Science and technology are the primary productive forces," Li Ang said with a chuckle: "My idea is very simple, use scientific research methods and equipment to understand the nature of mutant abilities and the laws of movement, explore the unknown, understand the unknown, and finally turn theory into practice and transform the whole world."
And for the reward of your selfless dedication, I will also repay Li Tou Tao and help mutants become the mainstream of society as much as possible. ”
Magneto was speechless, originally he thought that the goal of making mutants walk on the stage of human civilization was already a grand goal that he needed to fight for all his life, who would have thought that this Lord Leon's vision would be more than that, and mutants were just a small piece in his halfway.
"Of course, the meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step." Li Ang spread his hands and said with a smile: "The plan to use economic means to sanction the entire United States is only to act as a mutual harm button of the nature of 'nuclear deterrence', and it is not the only way to change the weak position of mutants.
In fact, I've got a series of plans in place that will help the mutants get on their feet for 10 to 20 years. ”
Hearing Leon's words, many mutants showed a look of intention on their faces, after all, people are social creatures, and it is impossible to survive without normal society.
Even these deeply hurt mutants aspire to one day be able to walk the streets and reunite with their families without fear of federal violence breaking down their doors, taking them and dissecting them.
Leon looked around at the mutants of the Brotherhood, looked at the look of longing for a better future on their faces, and chuckled, "If you don't have any disputes, then let's hurry up and start a happy cooperation." ”
