Chapter 58: X-Genes
While Ymir was wondering when the party would end, Herbert Langdon, the finale, had already stepped out of the back. Maintaining the demeanor of a big man, Herbert did not walk fast and always maintained a pace.
With Herbert's appearance, the atmosphere of the party entered a **. Peter noticed that Herbert's eyes were bloodshot and his expression was a little haggard, as if he hadn't closed his eyes all night.
In the same way, Ymir sensed that the speaker's heart was not as calm as he appeared.
However, who cares about him, for Ymir, this is a background figure who does not deserve much attention.
Ymir and Peter's guess was correct, and Herbert was still conflicted before he took the stage. But by the time he came to his senses, he had already appeared on the podium in the center of the new technology center.
"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for listening to the nagging of my old antique on this wonderful evening." Herbert's humorous opening remarks earned him a lot of extra points.
There was no way out, Herbert didn't even know if Jin Ji's men were lying in ambush below, so he had to bite the bullet and follow the established plan and said: "I stand here tonight to announce to you the advent of a new era, a new era that will allow us to thoroughly understand the factors of genetic mutations. ”
"Most of us know that DNA, the chemical makeup shared by human and animal and plant cells, contains the characteristic code for all the functions of our life." With Herbert's speech, a huge stereoscopic virtual projection appeared on the stage.
It's like the virtual projection technology in Iron Man's Tony Stark Building, which can be operated with Herbert's gestures. This attracted the interest of Ymir, who was not sure if he had developed technology in his previous life to such an extent.
Perhaps, but at least Ymir hadn't seen it, and he was blown away by such a new and interesting technology.
DNA, also known as deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule that forms genetic instructions that guide biological development and life functions. The DNA fragments that carry genetic information are called genes, and other DNA sequences, some of which function directly by their own structure, and some of which are involved in regulating the expression of genetic information.
Herbert looked at the virtual projection of the double-helix DNA structure and continued: "But at some point, these gene strands can also undergo unique changes, which we call - mutation. ”
"And because of the complexity of the gene chain and its tiny size, the scientific community is still unable to completely control or even interfere with this mutation in DNA." The double-stranded structure of DNA highlights a number of mutant genes that are different from ordinary people.
"Even our knowledge of them is only scratching the surface. We don't know why they mutate, how they mutate, what causes them and how much energy they need. ”
Herbert came to the New Technology Center, of course, not to promote his ignorance, but he certainly had research results that would change all of these factors: "For myself, I prefer to call them X-genes, all of which are unknowns. ”
"Luckily, we at Brand Group have collected some of the numbers about the X-gene and are researching it. With the help of a new generation of supercomputers to generalize, organize and derive these numbers, we at Brand Group are confident that we will soon be able to make this greatest scientific discovery! ”
"It's finally time to get to the point," Ymir looked at Herbert, who seemed to be in high spirits on the stage, and wondered if Herbert would have started out as a salesman.
In a provocative tone, he said, "Yes, we are about to conduct a more in-depth study of the X-gene, and we are about to usher in a new era of replacing those naturally occurring anomalies with scientifically controllable artificial genes!" ”
"It's not going to be done." Ymir also doesn't remember any mad scientists doing this research in the movies of his previous life.
But it seems that there shouldn't be a villain named Herbert Langdon on the scene, right?
I don't know if it's because the movie doesn't depict it, or if the reality is not finished at all.
Ymir thought about it for a moment, not thinking about Herbert Langdon's speech. is thinking about what kind of follow-up impact he will have if he kills Spider-Man, and whether he will expose himself.
But on second thought, although Peter's mouth was a little broken, it was not impossible to believe it, as long as he promised to keep it secret, it should not be leaked out.
Just as Ymir was trying to figure out how to make Spider-Man keep a secret forever, a hint of doubt appeared on Peter's face. His spider senses suddenly activated, and the air around him seemed to show a faint hint of danger.
Could it be that the evil six during the day have made a comeback, Peter suddenly became a little vigilant in his heart.
Sure enough, almost at the same time as Peter's muscles tensed, a burst of rampant laughter came in: "Hahahaha, Langdon, can't you think of it? Don't be surprised, I said it, you won't escape my palm! ”
Without warning, a bomb exploded on the roof of the tech center, and a man standing on a bat-shaped hoverboard flew in through the breach.
"Green Goblin?" When he first saw Osborne's concept skateboard, Ymir was wondering if there would be a Green Goblin in the world, and now it seems that there is no need to doubt it.
"No, it's a demon!" Peter didn't know when, and suddenly stood by Ymir's side.
He looked at the skateboard flying arrogantly in mid-air, and his face was a little heavy: "He's a madman, the first time I saw him, he was going to murder Mr. Osborne and Mr. Fix"
Ymir thought to himself, "The person who asked Peter to call him 'Mr. Osborne' must not be Harry, that's the old Green Goblin, and who is that Mr. Fix?" ”
Peter added: "Wilson Fix, one of New York's foremost philanthropists. ”
Ymir didn't care about this, he craned his neck to look for Kathryn in the hall: "It seems that this party is finally over here!" Peter patted Ymir on the shoulder and agreed, "Now it's time for us to deal with the demons, I'll hold him back, and you protect these guests." ”
"Ymir just wants to protect Kathryn, and the lives and deaths of others are not on his mind.
However, Peter did not give Ymir time to respond, and with a bow, the cat bent over and blended into the chaotic crowd, seemingly looking for a place to undress. Ymir has always wondered, can changing clothes improve combat effectiveness? In this world, there seem to be a lot of guys who like weird concoverts!
