Chapter 8 Magnetic Fields
To be honest, Magneto's heart is confused at the moment.
Originally, according to his plan, he should have sent the demon girl to kidnap Li Ang back first, know it, move it with reason, and persuade the other party as much as possible.
If not, then coercion and temptation, force the other party to accept the request for cooperation, call on the social resources of meme companies, help develop genetically modified hydroponic meat, and make the general public join the evolution, so that mutants can expand their own race and enter the stage of civilized society.
Who would have thought that the president of this young technology company did not show the slightest timidity in the face of these Brotherhood mutants wanted by the federal government, but relied on facts and eloquence, turnips and sticks, and successfully persuaded everyone present, even himself, to inexplicably begin to follow the instructions given by the other party - he did not feel that there was anything wrong.
Director, this is not the same as the script that was promised.
Thanks to Magneto, who lives in a capitalist country all the year round, I haven't watched the classic "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", and I don't know the routine of the big flicker....
Li Ang sat on the sofa with a comfortable attitude, not treating himself as an outsider at all, "The Brotherhood has been in business for so many years, and it should have accumulated a lot of family funds, right?" ”
Magneto withdrew his thoughts from the abyss of self-doubt, frowned and nodded, "The Brotherhood has been operating in the underground world composed of transcendents for many years, and it has indeed saved some belongings, but it is estimated that with your net worth, you can't afford this small amount of money. ”
"Money is really just a number when it reaches a certain amount, and wealth is useless if it can't be used on a knife edge." Li Ang said indifferently: "The family background I am referring to is the data of mutants, and it would be better if there was a genetic inventory." ”
Magneto hesitated for a moment and said calmly: "I once did research on genetic engineering and saved some of the genetic data of mutants. ”
"Okay, take me to see it."
Beneath this camouflage, there is a rather spacious underground laboratory, in which many scientific instruments are scattered around, but it can be seen that it is not very professional.
"My old friend Charles Francis Xavier, as he is often called, runs Xavier's Academy for Talented Youth, and in the middle of it is the research center that he and I have jointly established."
Magneto led Leon down the stairs into the disinfection room, put on an orange isolation suit, and said with a blank face: "But the difference in ideas about the relationship between mutants and humans caused me to part ways with him - I think the contradictions between mutants and humans are difficult to reconcile, and he firmly believes that humans just lack time to understand mutants. ”
Leon was noncommittal on this issue, and it was true that Professor Charles and Magneto were both momentary heroes, but they had neither the determination nor the corresponding means to achieve their goals, and they were caught in a blind barrier, and could only hover on the edge of the mutant problem.
As the upper elite of the capitalist system, Professor Charles was able to enjoy the privileged status brought by wealth, and naturally refused to engage in any "mutant revolution" with the poor and white Magneto.
In the end, Magneto's violent methods are not advisable, and terrorist attacks may have the upper hand for a while, but they will still be crushed by the state apparatus that has been mobilized.
Leon's mind raced, the solution to the mutant's social problem was just a trivial matter, and the most important thing was to study the ability.
"Since then, Charles has led his X-Men to continue to suppress our brotherhood. And because of the ban issued by the federal government, most device companies refuse to sell us scientific research equipment, so they have to steal or rob it. ”
Magneto was not ashamed when he told the story of his crime fortune, "At the same time, I have been learning, relying on my magnetic field manipulation ability to extract, forge, and smelt metals, and make some scientific research instruments."
Although it can't be compared with the top labs, it can barely make up for life. ”
The base's underground laboratory is divided into several modules, and as far as the eye can see, it is mainly the instruments used in genetic engineering.
"The cryogenic freezer in which the serum is stored is the most important, the high-speed centrifuge needs to be updated, the wavelight accuracy of the UV spectrophotometer is below the threshold, and the gel imaging system is not placed with the thermal cycler,"
Li Ang walked by himself, his eyes swept away, he opened his mouth, and kept putting forward new requirements: "We also need a new horizontal electrophoresis tank, electrophoresis instrument, full-temperature shaker, constant temperature incubator, ultra-low temperature freezer, magnetic stirrer, these instruments you make may not meet the accuracy I want." ”
"Yes, is that an exaggeration?" Magneto's tooth roots were a little sour, and he didn't want to lose face in front of the mutants of the Brotherhood, so he said with a straight face: "I think it's okay....."
"Your Excellency Magneto, errors in any field of scientific research are unforgivable," Leon swept through the instruments with his psychic sense. Said solemnly: "The slightest mistake can waste my precious time and energy. You are also a scientific researcher, so you should be able to understand my feelings. ”
Magneto was speechless, decades ago, just as he was still in school, World War II broke out.
As an ordinary Jewish teenager, he was caught up in the war and had no chance to get an education, and when the war ended, Magneto, who had lost his family, had no intention of returning to school - in other words, he dropped out of junior high school.
It's a shame to say this title, Magneto has insisted on being self-taught for so many years, but his scientific research ability is only at the master's level, at most he can compete with some mediocre doctors in the fields of engineering and molecular biology.
To put it bluntly, I still suffered the loss of culture.
Magneto sighed, rubbed his aching eyebrows, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid the name of the Brotherhood is not very good, if you want to buy serious scientific research equipment, it is a little difficult. ”
"That's easy," Leon pulled out his phone and called Robert Cullen, the new executive of the meme company, and hung up the call after a few random commands.
"That's it, the scientific research equipment that meets the requirements can be delivered to the designated place in the name of an anonymous buyer within a week, and you will have to send someone to accept it at that time."
Li Ang said indifferently in Magneto's complicated gaze at the "omnipotent and do-it-all dogs": "By the way, I'm very interested in your magnetic field manipulation ability, I don't know if you've heard of a martial art called 'magnetic field rotation'?" ”
