Hiss......

Wisps of bright silver molten metal rose from the ground and gathered in Xia Jie's hands, accompanied by a strange sound, from the size of a soybean to a round ball of ten centimeters in length and width.

This is all the Edman alloy that Logan has added to X-24, and they have condensed into solid spheres, abandoning the hollow form of the skeletal form, and it looks like it has shrunk considerably.

Xia Jie's fingers moved slightly, and the suspended metal ball rotated quietly, and there was no trace of processing on its smooth surface, and the whole was flawless.

At this moment, re-infiltrating the Edelman Alloy, although the power of the five elements consumed is really a lot, it also makes Xia Jie's heart rise with joy, because the more difficult it is to control, the greater its value!

Xia Jie pinched the metal ball, looked up at the two who had been quiet for a few minutes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Dr. Rice." I need more for this stuff. ”

Rice's cheeks were covered in black, and he looked at Pierce with resentment, but he still chose to compromise under the opponent's raised metal fist.

"Edelman Alloy...... In the institute, there are less than 500 grams. ”

"Don't fool me with the stock, use it as a standard, I need ten copies, make it for me now!"

Xia Jie Shi Ran stepped forward, held up the alloy ball in his hand, and pressed it on Dr. Rice's face with a smile, and spikes suddenly grew on the surface of the round sphere, like tentacles slowly burrowing into his skin.

"Uh......!!"

Les felt the warm blood and cold metal thorns on his face, a face frightened by the pain.

Xia Jie stopped the movement in his hand and said in a low voice: "Do you understand?" ”

It's no secret that Edelman alloys can be mass-produced. And since Dr. Rice was able to alloy Laura and X-24 here, it was ample proof that the Erdman alloy in their bodies was in a freshly synthesized liquid state, because when they cooled down, they would not be able to shape at will.

"You!" Dr. Rice was angry and scared. He didn't know how much the other party knew, so he couldn't choose to hide it like just now.

At this moment, there are only two ways in front of him, whether to do or not to do, and even because of the other party's ability to control energy metal, he does not dare to synthesize a fake Edman alloy, or a secondary Edman alloy to deceive the other party.

"You can choose not to agree, but you're not the only one in the world who will synthesize Edman alloy."

Xia Jie said indifferently, and withdrew the metal ball with his hand, and the spikes on it naturally retracted into the ball, and the wisps of blood dripped down the surface of the ball and fell to the ground, and the ball was too smooth to be stained with blood.

Then, he picked up the clean white gauze on the operating table next to him, spread out his palm, slapped it on Les's cheek, and said indifferently: "You have to think clearly, no matter how precious the Edman alloy is, it is also the country, and this life is your own." ”

The gauze was soaked in blood, and it stuck to the wound and no longer fell, and Dr. Rice seemed to have been slapped in the face, and the hot pain made him dare not do anything else no matter how angry he was.

He opened his swollen eyeliner, glanced at the metal ball that pierced half of his face, and pondered for a moment before he spoke in a muffled voice of fear.

"There are not many raw materials in the institute, and they can't meet the standard of ten copies, and they can make about three copies at most."

In fact, strictly calculated, the materials in the research institute should be able to make four copies, that is, the demand for 8 X-24s, but Rice is afraid that when the time comes, he will talk too much and not reach this number, which will anger the other party.

People who have a belief beyond life and death are, after all, a very small number of existences, and the ordinary people in the world compromise, give in, and beg for mercy when their lives are threatened, which is the most normal manifestation.

In the past, Xia Jie always felt that threatening others with life and death could be effective? The big deal is that if he dies generously, the jade will be burned, but when he uses this method to threaten others, he knows that death is indeed the most terrifying enemy.

Looking at Les's fearful and hateful look, he sneered, and his words were like the ice of a winter night: "Not enough raw materials? Ask someone to bring it to you! ”

"It used to be possible, but not now, the Ministry of Defense already knows that I am about to evacuate here, and if I ask them for more raw materials now, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

Les didn't dare to look directly at Xia Jie, so he had to bow his head and explain, and he was still worried at the moment, if he proposed to need more Erdman alloy, would it make the people in Congress think that his experiment had not been successful? Everything before was just a scam?

At that time, his reputation and status will be in jeopardy, and even if he confesses all this and gains understanding, he will inevitably face life imprisonment in view of the fact that he has betrayed the interests of the country.

"Really?"

Just the need for some Edelman alloy raw materials for research will also attract the attention of the Department of Homeland Security? Xia Jie expressed disbelief.

So he turned his head to look at Pierce, but the other party also nodded like a chicken pecking rice, proving that what Dr. Rice said was true.

Now Xia Jie is a little difficult, if there are only four copies of the Edelman alloy, he can only choose between weapons and armor, and if he asks for more, to provoke the attention of the US Department of Defense, it is undoubtedly a great threat to his mission.

As for what he just said, there are still many people in the world who can synthesize Edelman alloys, just fooling Dr. Rice, even if there are real ones, he can't find them, right?

After thinking about it for a while, Xia Jie can only give up this risky idea for the time being, and the preservation task is the key.

"Then make me alloy all the raw materials here!"

“…… Be. ”

Les bowed his head in frustration and replied silently.

After that, with Les and Pierce, the two local snakes, opening the way, Xia Jie walked in this heavily guarded research institute almost like a walk after dinner.

Since most of the researchers were transferred, and the foreign scientists involved in the production of the Edelman alloy were wiped out at the first time, the synthesis was all done by Dr. Rice himself, and Pierce was carrying the raw materials with his hands exposed.

It is a piece of metal ingots of different qualities, and the most critical material is the 'pan alloy', and because of its existence, it can produce a chain reaction on other metals, thus fundamentally forming the constituent elements of Edelman alloy.

This kind of complex change is not the degree that Xia Jie can control at present, although his golden power is 'deep' enough, but the 'scope' of its influence is not broad enough.

If he uses the power of the five elements to merge, he will only get a lump of colorful metal in the end.

Therefore, in the manufacturing process of this Edelman alloy, Xia Jie has been in a state of supervision, guarding them and not daring to slack off.

In less than three hours, an arm-long, head-thick Erdman alloy was slowly transported out of the mechanical port in the form of a liquid metal column in a container that temporarily maintained a high temperature.

"Click."

Xia Jie reached out and pinched the container in his hand, sliced its lid open, and with the sound of high-pressure steam, the liquid alloy inside solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming an indestructible metal column.

Looking at this round and transparent pillar, Xia Jie also smiled, holding it in one hand, urging the power of the five elements to penetrate into it, and then started another plan:

"Yes, in the end, there was an extra one, this matter is over for the time being, next, take me to see your gene pool."

Dr. Rice accepted his fate, and there was a sentence that could well express his thoughts at the moment, broken jar and broken!

“…… In our gene pool, there are only more than twenty sub-mutant genes, all of which are very ordinary abilities, if you are interested, take them all. ”

The most powerful X weapons were no match for a round, and the Edelman Alloy was plundered by the opponent, and the mutant genes that had been reduced to mass-produced items were even more insignificant in comparison.

"Smart man, now you have managed to win your chance to survive."

Xia Jie praised: "I have to say that you recognize reality faster than him." ”

This is referring to Pierce, it seems that he deeply understood Xia Jie's previous instructions, talk less and do more, at this moment this guy is guarding the door with a loyal dog, wanting to prove his worth, but the effect is not very significant.

Dr. Rice covered the corners of his mouth and bruised softly: "This is the gap between the high IQ gene and the low IQ gene." ”

Hearing this, Pierce didn't move his eyebrows, as if he didn't care.

"Let's go."

Dr. Rice didn't look at Pierce, flicked his white research coat, and proudly walked in front to lead the way.

Xia Jie followed leisurely, but with a smile in his mouth.

Because when he just walked past Pierce, he clearly saw that there was a ruthlessness in his eyes, and the object was Rice.

Soon, after Xia Jie approached the storage room, which was densely air-conditioned all year round, he saw the rows of glass test tubes filled with blood, and there were labels on them to indicate the source of the blood.

And the most here is Logan's blood, which is divided into different types, there are weakened versions, strengthened versions, and even mixed versions.

"These are all the backups of our research on the X weapon over the years, from the very beginning of the 1:1 replication of the gene, to the later modification of the gene, it took more than fifteen years."

Les looked at these test tubes, and his eyes also showed embarrassment, he received his father's research results, based on them, plus so many years of painstaking research, but in the end he couldn't compete with the other party's innate ability, what an ironic thing.

"This one comes from a black boy in Africa who can generate electricity like an electric eel, and this one comes from a Nilcania miner who didn't realize he had the power to manipulate rocks until he was buried at the bottom of the mine."

Dr. Rice casually explained the origin and abilities of these genes, of course, he did not say how these genes came from, anyway, it was disgraceful.
