Chapter 171: Substitutes
"You..."
Holding his wife in his arms, the Black Bolt King said helplessly: "Everything is fine, but there are too many thoughts." ”
Medusa, who was like a queen in front of people, was like a widow next door at this time, and her eyes were complaining: "Why, you dislike me now." ”
"Where do you say it?"
Seeing his wife's tears in his eyes, the Black Bolt King had no choice but to smile bitterly, what he was most afraid of was to see a woman crying in front of him, so he hurriedly rubbed his fragrant shoulder and comforted: "It's too late for me to hurt you, how can I not want you." ”
"Over the years, I don't know how much you have suffered with me, but I can't be by your side, it's because I can't stand you."
"Yes, if it weren't for me, you'd be an elm head, I'm afraid I'd be deceived and still help people with money."
Medusa snorted twice, her pink fist pounding her husband's chest.
"Yes, yes, everything is Madame's credit."
At this moment, the Black Bolt King has no trace of kingly demeanor, as if he is just a soft man with a strict wife, but Medusa's eyes are full of happiness.
Under the guidance of Karnik, without hindrance, the two came to the outskirts of Suzuki Island, where Injin's real headquarters are located.
The building outside is just a branch for later joining the Alliance, and this is where the heart is.
In fact, Lin Fei also came here last time, it is an underwater palace built in the water, and the periphery is a square made of white bricks.
The reason why these buildings are located in the middle of the sea is that the exterior is made entirely of special high-pressure crystals, which are far more fortified than they are.
I'm afraid that only an ancient race like Inhumans has the financial and material resources to do it at this time.
Compared with the previous lonely main hall of the palace, the headquarters of the Inhumans at this time is much more magnificent, with a new side hall on both sides, all made of white bricks and stones, connected to the main hall, quite the imposing style of the ancient palace of the Western palace.
There are countless pavilions and pavilions all around, interconnected with each other, and teams of soldiers with sharp eyes in shawls and armor patrol back and forth, and the weather is strict.
"This palace is built in a magnificent manner."
The two of them walked on the corridor guard, shaded by green trees, and Lin Fei said suddenly.
"Let Sir smile, the royal palace on the moon has been destroyed, and we can only rebuild it here."
Karnik paused slightly, then continued to stride forward.
"Hmm."
Lin Fei didn't care about these slight changes, and nodded: "It's okay to set up the headquarters here, the future development of the earth will definitely be faster and faster, and there will always be a lot of opportunities to get closer to each other." ”
Karnik didn't know whether what Lin Fei said was true or false, for fear of saying something he shouldn't have said, so he kept silent and continued to lead the way.
Although Lin Fei didn't know what he was thinking, when he saw that the other party didn't answer, he wouldn't be bored.
"Here we are."
After a few moments, the two walked through the side hall on the right, all the way inward, and after a few more turns, they finally stopped in front of a white stone door.
Compared to the ornate decorations around it, the stone door is much more inconspicuous, with no handle and no keyhole, and if it weren't for the faint stone crack in the middle, I am afraid that it is just an ordinary wall.
Stopping in front of the door, Karnik pressed his palm against the stone door.
I saw that the originally smooth and lifeless stone wall suddenly showed a square blue light and shadow, and made a move on the palm of Karnek's hand.
"Verified."
There was an unwavering sound of machinery, and the stone door moved to both sides.
Karnak stepped aside and made a gesture of please, "It's Professor Connors' private studio inside, so I'm not going in." ”
Connors was still from Osborne after all, and not everyone could enter the lab he was in.
Lin Fei didn't say much, nodded slightly, and walked inward.
Walking inside, there is a long experimental table on the left and right sides, on which are placed various syringe reagents, colorful.
At the front is a control platform, and in the middle of the open space is a huge purple gold egg, one middle and one young man in white coats are looking around the purple gold egg.
"Didn't I tell you that you weren't allowed to come in without my permission?"
Hearing the sound of the stone door opening, Connors frowned and said without looking back.
What they're working on now is Osborne's top secret, and he wouldn't be here if it weren't for the many experiments that required the cooperation of the Inhumans.
Even if I had something to explain before, it was done in the next meeting room.
"Can't even me?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Connors pushed the frame of his glasses and squinted: "Total... President! How did you get here? ”
Lin Fei smiled slightly and said, "Naturally, I have something to look for you." ”
"President, if you have anything to do, just explain it to us directly, why do you need to come here in person."
"He can't be idle, so he wants to run around."
A voice rang out from the side.
It was Tony who spoke, and the technology of the Kurik was far beyond the current level of the earth, and if you wanted to delve deeper, you couldn't do it without him coordinating and cooperating.
Connors smiled bitterly on the side and didn't dare to answer, that is, Tony dared to make this kind of joke in front of Lin Fei, but he didn't have the courage to do so.
"Who the hell can't be idle, leave their girlfriend alone, and want to come here?"
On the other side, Lin Fei was also not to be outdone.
At the mention of Penny, Tony's confidence immediately leaked most of it, and he said listlessly: "Say, what is the matter with you coming here?" ”
He didn't think that Lin Fei came here to laugh at him.
Lin Fei didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "How is your research progressing?" ”
The research was led by Connors, and the details were the ones he knew best.
Without shirking each other, after nodding to Tony, Connors took the initiative to speak, "Research has made a certain breakthrough. ”
"From the research, we found that Kulik was born strong, and he can often reach the level of level five when he is an adult, and the royal bloodline has the innate advantage of breaking through level six."
"But there are good and bad, despite the longevity of the Kuliks, the fertility is extremely low, and the actual number is not very large, only a few hundred."
"Unable to support the entire kingdom on their own, they found another way to fuse their genes and bloodlines with other creatures to create a new race, and then purified the bloodlines belonging to the Kulik people by special instruments to turn them into complete Kulik people, so as to ensure the continuation of the race."
Obviously, both the Inhumans and the Jebshin are the result of such genetic hybridization.
"Have you mastered this technique?"
Lin Fei asked.
If this method is really feasible, the future earth will be full of superpowers.
You must know that among the hundreds of thousands of mutants on the earth, there are also many high-level bloodline people.
"It's that simple."
Tony on the side pouted and said, "With our current technology, we are still far from reaching the level of the other party." ”
This is the top technology belonging to the Kulik people, and it is not within the reach of the current level of technology on Earth.
"However, it's not that the process can't be accelerated."
Worried about being perceived as incompetent, Tony continued, "If the alien invasion you're talking about is true, maybe we can learn a thing or two from them. ”
The process of borrowing is naturally not as friendly as it seems.
"There's going to be a chance."
Lin Fei smiled: "I believe they won't let us down when the time comes." ”
Behind the threat is often accompanied by opportunity, and since the Zirita people can travel through space, their level of technology is bound to be low.
However, it was unknown when the other party would come over after all, so Lin Fei didn't dare to count on them too much, and directly stated the purpose of this trip.
"I promised Peter that I would help him raise his strength to level five, is there anything you can do?"
"Difficult."
Connors listened, but shook his head and said, "If we just raise the third level to the fourth level, we may still have a way." ”
"But breaking through to the fifth level, that's the full sublimation of genes and making up for defects, and we can't do it yet."
The difference between a third-level mutant and a fourth-level mutant is only an increase in the total amount of strength, which consumes some resources, and it is not difficult to solve with the technology that Osborne currently masters.
But level 5 is different.
Breaking through to level five is not only a further improvement of one's own strength, but also a supplement to the defects in the genes in the body, and everything that involves the genetic level is not easy to solve.
"Is there really no other way?"
Lin Fei's brows furrowed slightly, he originally thought that with Osborne's current level of technology, it would not be a problem to raise Peter to the fifth level, after all, the other party was now at the peak of the fourth level.
But now it seems that he still underestimated the difficulty of this matter.
Seeing Lin Fei's disappointment on his face, Connors thought for a moment, and then said, "It's not that there is no way. ”
"The root of the problem is to promote the mutation of genes, if we can get some fog crystals from the Inhuman, combined with our current research results, there is still a few possibilities."
"This is easy to do, I pulled down my face, I believe I can still get some from the stranger."
With his relationship with the Black Bolt King, the other party will still give this face.
"It's not that easy."
Tony was quite unoptimistic, shaking his head and saying, "They have now found a way to cure their defects, and one of the materials is the fog crystal, although it is not much, but compared to the overall number of Inhumans, it is still a little stretched. ”
"And if you want Peter to break through to the fifth level, there is a lot of dosage."
Lin Fei's brows furrowed again, if this was the case, then it was really difficult for him to ask the other party for it.
For a while, all three people in the audience were silent.
In the end, it was Lin Fei who opened his mouth first: "Can this thing be replaced?" ”
The black veined ring flashed between his fingers, and an emerald green ball with a diameter of nearly two meters appeared in the middle of the three of them.
Connors didn't answer, but turned around and took out a scanner from the Experiment.
The blue light swept across the surface of the emerald green sphere, and a string of values appeared on the display of the instrument.
Looking at the exaggerated value, Connors couldn't help but open his mouth wide: "How can there be such an abundance of life energy." ”
Tony walked over, his eyes swept over, and he was also full of surprise.
Lin Fei didn't feel anything, and continued to ask, "Is this Life Source Crystal a substitute for the Mist Crystal?" ”
Life Source Crystal, this is the name given by Lin Fei.
"Yes, yes."
Tony thought for a moment, and Tony replied, "It may be a while, though, and I need to make some changes to the equipment." ”
"What kind of expression do you have?"
Seeing Lin Fei's skeptical expression, Tony's eyes suddenly widened: "You don't think that Connors alone can solve all this, right?" ”
"Humph! If it weren't for me by his side, do you think he would have gone so smoothly? ”
"Tony is right, a lot of the research experiments here can't do without his help."
Connors didn't mind Tony's words, and said with a smile: "The next equipment debugging is inseparable from him." ”
This is not an exaggeration, as an expert in biological genetics, he also has a lot of skills in the use of equipment, but compared to Tony, it is far behind.
Most of the biomodification data obtained from Yax this time is deep into the genetic level, and it is necessary to record its subtle changes at all times, which relies on technology, which is not something he can do alone.
Lin Fei also smiled and said: "With the two of you here, I am naturally relieved, if even you can't solve it, I'm afraid that no one on the earth can do it." ”
Tony snorted and didn't speak.
Lin Fei has another meaning in what he said, that is, Tony alone can't solve it, and the two of them must work together.
On the other side, Professor Connors nodded solemnly and said, "I will not fail in my mission." ”
Half an hour later, at the gate of the Osborne headquarters, Lin Fei slowly fell from the sky.
Almost as soon as it hit the ground, the watch flashed a little blue.
Red indicates an emergency, which often means that he has encountered a problem that cannot be solved, and blue indicates a situation that is related to him or requires his consent, but is not urgent.
Without hesitation, Lin Fei clicked on the button.
A sound came into Lin Fei's mind in the form of electromagnetic waves and transformed into a stream of consciousness.
After receiving the information, Lin Fei thought for a while, and the consciousness transformed by spiritual power penetrated into the watch.
"Let them wait in the guest room."
After the explanation, Lin Fei looked at the gate of Osborne again.
After explaining to Tony and the others, he didn't stay long, and left after a few pleasantries.
It's just that before leaving, he met with Black Bolt King, not to ask for fog crystals, but to introduce the other party to the establishment of a genetic modification laboratory on Mars.
Hearing this, the Black Bolt King naturally readily agreed, after all, although they found a way to treat the genetic defects of the alien, and there were no too many restrictions and adverse reactions, the results were also very good.
However, compared with the population base of nearly one million Inhumans, the number of Inhumans who have been treated is still only a small number, and relying on the current level of medical care, I don't know how long it will take to completely complete the gene transformation.
Now that there are other ways to go, he will naturally not let it go.
This is undoubtedly a blessing for Yiren, but it has nothing to do with Lin Fei, there is only one thing he has to do now, and that is to improve himself.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Fei, who had changed into a black suit, strolled into the guest room.
As soon as he entered the door, looking at the one-eyed black man in front of him, Lin Fei said with a little meaning: "Fury, your movements are really not slow, I just entered the door with my front foot, and your back foot followed." ”
