Chapter 55: Space Disaster (1)

Reed frowned, "After the gene has mutated, will it be restored?" What exactly causes this? Can I take some samples of your body's cells for study? ”

"Okay, but won't that delay the topic you're working on right now?"

"Of course not, it will give me some new ideas."

Ben exclaimed, "Reed, I'm going home." ”

However, no one responded, Lin Ming and Reed were observing under the electron microscope, which made Ben feel depressed, "Two scientific maniacs get together, this will definitely destroy the whole world!" ”

Reed looked at the data analysis report on the computer next to him and said, "This variant is unique, it doesn't seem to affect the key genes in humans, but the arrangement of the base pairs of other genes has changed. New base pair combinations have also been added. And the number of mitochondria, the changes in RNA. It's all caused by the ancient plant you mentioned, 'Trihairous Grass'. ”

"Yes, I still have a bottle of extract that I have secretly kept, but I don't have any more." Lin Ming smiled, although he lied, it was obvious that this made Reed believe it more.

Reed carefully took out a drop of extract from the test tube in Lin Ming's hand and began to put it in the instrument for testing. Soon he exclaimed as if he had discovered something.

"I can't believe it, is this serum the product of a mixture of the body's adrenaline and extract of the tribal grass? But why do you have features that can change the cells of your body again? ”

Lin Ming sighed and said, "This is a mystery, after all, there has never been anything like this before. ”

"Maybe in the environment of space, we can study more. It's just that it will be a few weeks before the launch. ”

Although Lin Ming has the ability of a super brain, it doesn't mean that you can analyze it if you remember it. It doesn't mean that your analytical skills have improved, and you can do research in professional fields that you don't understand.

Lin Ming also discovered the limitations of this ability after obtaining Jamie's super brain ability. It can indeed enhance the memory and remember it. But at the same time, this memory can only stay for 6 hours. In fact, it has to do with the storage mechanism of the human brain. It can't be stored in it like an electronic brain and remembered all the time, unless the storage tool is damaged.

In the days that followed, in addition to some exchanges with Reed, Lin Ming changed his body shape and appearance (from Mr. Fantastic's abilities) and had some special exchanges with several old rivals Ned who were in competition with Fang Du's company, especially Victor. Especially now that Lin Ming is using his mind-reading ability that can be hypnotized and hinted at more and more tracelessly.

Therefore, after Victor announced the ambitions and goals of the Fangdu Group, the media took the lead in attacking.

"Reed Richards, who is he?" Then the picture shows Reed, the "stupidest" smart man, as a rising star in the scientific world, but he has fallen like a meteor. He was bankrupt, holding his theory that could not be proven at all, that was both unreliable and taken for granted.

So in the media, the two presenters and their specially invited guests began to analyze why Victor's Fontale company would support the bold, exaggerated, and even terrifying theories of Reed, a scientific con artist who has not achieved the slightest in the scientific world.

Other newspapers and magazines wrote a few question marks on the cover, and then accompanied by a picture of an alien to illustrate: "A madman and an upstart, do they want to create aliens?" We already have Superman, and we don't need them to bring us any more aliens! ”

And some unscrupulous media, for the sake of gimmicks, began to create lace news, such as "Victor has been obsessed with MIT since he lost to the genius Reed in his academic performance." I really hope that there is another way to recapture this genius, and now he has found a good way, that is, I can do whatever I want if I have money! ”

Of course, there are also online media that are more radical in rhetoric than print and television, such as why a Latvian has been able to succeed in the United States and who is behind him. There are also some direct satire on Victor's origins, and the ambitions of the Fangdu Group do not match their actual scientific research capabilities.

Of course, in the case that the outside world has gone crazy, whether it is Victor or the soon-to-be-Fantastic Four, they miraculously became famous first, although it was mostly negative. I have to say that those media are pervasive.

Photos of five people were lined up on a prime-time talk show, "Let's take a look at the five scientists who have suddenly become popular lately." Then the host of this talk show first seemed to have discovered something incredible, and wow.

"Well, I have to admit that these five scientists, they look more like movie stars than scientific researchers." Next to him appeared the image of a scientific researcher in the eyes of the public.

"Look at this handsome guy, is he a model?" The talk show host pointed to the future Thunderbolt Johnny.

At this time, several female and male guests invited by the side began to comment presumptuously, and the female guests stared at Victor and said, "I prefer to be more mature." ”

A black woman next to her, who looked fat and fat, said, "I prefer that one in comparison." He's strong, isn't he? "Turns out she was referring to Ben.

At the end of this talk show, the host asked: "Is this a show arranged by Fangdu Company, or is it a real scientific research action?" ”

I have to say that Lin Ming's method of instigating Victor's competitors to incite public opinion is very ordinary, but it has achieved very good results. At this time, Reed, who was still staying in the laboratory and doing experiments, had no idea that he was already famous.

Victor has already discovered that behind this public opinion war are his competitors, especially Ned's guy. He always wanted to get Victor out of Manhattan, out of the United States.

"Damn, I can't even go to the streets right now!" Susan snorted in her room, and then saw Johnny walking in with a newly befriended model in his arms.

"Are you going outside and interacting with those 'fans' again?"

"Okay, you're not my mom." Johnny said impatiently: "Now many companies have contacted me to endorse their products. Let me see, CK Panties Company, oh, and Durex! ”

Susan covered her forehead, speechless for her out-of-character brother.

Ben was also a little helpless, and he found Reed, "Hey, don't you know what's going on outside?" ”

Both Reed and Lin Ming seemed to be completely ignorant, "Ben, is something big going on?" ”

"Of course, Reed, your fan base has already started building your own website."

"Hey, what fan group? What's going on? ”

Ben turned on the TV and let Reed and Lin Ming watch it.

It has to be said that the media industry in the United States is well developed. And there is a big capital behind this recent wave of hype, so now, it is getting hotter and hotter. It seems that before the end of this aerospace scientific research experiment, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the heat to drop in a short time.

"This way of becoming famous makes me feel like a clown! Damn, do they know how important this research is. ”

It was also the first time for Lin Ming to see Reed, a good old man, angry, and sure enough, once someone questioned his research, this really touched his scales.

"Well, there's no way around it." Ben patted Reed on the shoulder, he didn't care too much about being famous, of course, when he became a stone man, he really cared.

"Let's continue to work on it, after all, when the space exploration experiment is over, the topic will pass. The public's interest in serious scientific careers is far less than that of Mei Mei getting along with her agent again, or that something new is going on in Hollywood. ”

Lin Ming's words made Reed feel better, "In another week, we can go to Victor's private launch site." ”

Ben said a little depressed: "I don't want to give Susan's brother a pawn, he's a lingerie model." ”

At this moment, Lin Ming's phone rang, he took a look, and it turned out to be Susan calling. After connecting, "Lin, is Reid next to you?" ”

"Well, yes, he's here. Need me to hand him the phone? ”

"No need, I'm here to inform you, this space expedition, Victor was originally going to go with him, but unfortunately, he was stumped by some important things. So this time we had to go with the five of us. ”

After Lin Ming chatted with Susan for a few more words, he turned off the phone and said, "I'm sorry to inform you that our boss can't follow us to the space battle this time. ”

Ben cheered, "It's better for that guy to stay on Earth." Leave the science to Reed. If he goes, it will only add to the chaos. ”

Reed didn't think anything, after all, Victor is now a rich man, and there are so many things to do in business. Recently, it seems that there is something going on in public opinion. So Victor, who was once his rival and friend in college, has now gone down a different path in Reed's eyes. At least not all the attention is paid to scientific research.

Lin Ming secretly said in his heart, it seems that the previous plan has been successful. And Victor's opponents have also begun to exert their strength in advance. He felt that Dr. Doom must be a little busy right now. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up on this space trip like this. After all, Doom had planned to propose to Susan in space.

However, if Dr. Doom fails to go to space, I wonder if there will be a "Doctor Doom" in the Fantastic Four world?
