Chapter 97: A Shot to Refresh Your Mind
"Are you alright?" Louie walked over and helped the little man up, and by the way, he could see the man's face clearly, and sure enough, it was the man, Steven-Grant-Rogers, who would soon become Captain America.
I remember that when Steve (Steven's nickname) was chatting with Peggy Carter in the car, he would keep pointing to the alley he was passing by, saying that he had been beaten here, that he had been beaten here, that he had been beaten here, and that he was here......
Now it seems that Steve is really not exaggerating at all, and he can see the scene of the future Captain America being kicked in a circle by a group of people when he walks through an alley.
"I'm fine, thank you. Steve Rogers patted the dust off his body, thanked Louie next to him, and recognized Louie's identity: "You are ...... Louis Hunt. ”
"Yes, I'm Louis Hunt. Louis is used to similar scenes, Louis who has been running around the country to engage in propaganda work, accepted invitations from many businesses, and filmed a lot of pictorial advertisements, is now a well-known person and is often recognized.
"It's an honor to meet you, Major Hunter. "Steve has always wanted to sign up for the army, and he has tried several times to do so, even falsifying personal information, but because he is too thin and short, he has not been able to pass the medical examination once.
He was very concerned about the war and the army, and Louie, a war hero who was heavily publicized, of course he could recognize it, but he didn't expect to see this war hero on the streets of New York, let alone meet the other party at such a slightly embarrassed time.
Awkwardly shook Louie's hand, Steve just wanted to escape from this place quickly, Louie saw his thoughts, and didn't hold anything, and let Steve leave after making sure that the other party was okay.
When Steve's figure disappeared into the distance, Louis and Esther continued in the direction of the apartment.
"Is that guy really okay?"
"It's okay, he's much stronger than he looks. "Captain America's real strength is not his body, even if he uses strengthening potions, his combat power is nothing among many superheroes.
Esther didn't ask, just treated Steve as a mere passerby, and instead chatted with Louis about the banquet Howard was going to have in a few days.
"Do you want to prepare a new dress?" Howard Stark is a well-known rich man in the United States, and the banquets held by this kind of person invite elites from all walks of life, and if he dresses too casually, he will be ridiculed.
This is not an occasion to show personal style, and doing maverick things at this time will only show that the person lacks education and quality, and does not arouse everyone's admiration or admiration.
"There's nothing to do tomorrow, I can accompany you to pick out a new dress. There weren't many pastimes in those days, and Louis would spend most of his time with Esther, much to Esther's delight, and she heard more than once from the neighbors' wives that they complained about their husbands and never went shopping with her.
She felt that this was a sign that Louis loved herself very much, and when she returned home in a happy mood, she behaved very enthusiastically, with a posture that would not stop until dawn.
A few days later, Louis took Esther to a banquet hosted by Howard, during which they bragged and chatted, some praised Louis for his heroic deeds and Esther's charisma, and Louis praised them for their achievements in various careers, anyway, everyone wore masks and praised each other, although it was impossible to become friends, but they did make some connections.
This relationship can really bring benefits to Louis, and in the course of the chat, Louis and some people have made several deals: Louis and Esther will buy a small amount of shares in some companies, and they will shoot a series of pictorials and advertisements for these companies, which can be regarded as the spokesperson of these brands.
The remuneration of pictorials and advertisements is a trivial matter, the key is these seemingly inconspicuous small number of shares, which are assets that can maintain or even increase in value for a long time.
After returning home, he will also ask Esther to focus on a few of these large companies, and buy more stocks of these companies when he has spare money and don't know how to use it, so as to ensure that he doesn't have to worry about money in the future, and just needs to keep himself healthy and beautiful.
Of these companies, Louis is of course the most important to Howard Stark's Stark Group, and there is no better asset in this world than Stark Group's stock. Even if Howard dies, there is Tony Stark as his successor.
By this time, he had solved the problem after he left, and in the following time he devoted more energy to experimental work.
In addition to using the Mark of the Brave to discern the 'correct' direction of the potion's improvement, Louie can also help with energy devices.
He had always thought that he was not a scientist, but it was a mistake because Louie came from the 'future' world.
Although many times he can only come up with a 'direction', or an 'idea' that he can't even talk about, this inspiration can play a huge role in scientific research.
And when he followed Kuigang Jin to learn how to make lightsabers, he had already mastered a lot of black technology: it can release plasma, recycle and reuse the released energy, and the hidden black technology content in the lightsaber is very amazing.
In particular, the technology of using energy is very advanced, and when making and using this potion, it requires a huge amount of energy support, and the supply and consumption of this kind of energy and other technologies happen to be things that Louis has learned through hard work, and Howard and Erskine found out that Louie actually knows so many things.
Neither of them stupidly questioned why Louie understood this, at most Howard privately asked Louie if he wanted to take a stake in Stark Group.
After receiving an affirmative reply, he did not mention this matter again, and instead focused on helping Dr. Erskine improve the potion.
With Louie's help in determining the direction of improvement of the potion and the energy supply system needed to improve it, the research work suddenly entered the fast lane, and Dr. Erskine soon produced a batch of new potions that were effective in strengthening and had minimized the side effects as much as possible.
At this point, it seems that the Super Soldier program is about to move to the next stage, which is to select the right soldiers and then make the final injections.
"Can this thing really work?" Before the news could be reported, Howard and Louis had already seen the latest potion, and Howard looked at the liquid in the small bottle, and really couldn't see anything special about this thing?
"What do you think, Louie?" In fact, Dr. Erskine himself did not know the specific effect, and he was able to improve several versions so quickly, all of which depended on Louie's judgment: Louie felt that this direction would work, so he tried to optimize and improve, during which no human tests were conducted, and he could not guarantee the final effect.
"......" Louis didn't say anything, he looked at the tubes of potions in front of him, stretched out his left hand and touched them one by one, and soon got the answer through the Mark of the Brave.
Among them, two tubes are a small amount of improvement without side effects, one tube is a small amount of improvement without side effects, one tube is a quality improvement without side effects, and one tube is a substantial improvement with side effects.
"Obviously, to achieve the effect you said, only this tube of medicine meets the requirements, but this tube of medicine still has side effects. ”
If you want to completely eliminate the side effects, the effect of the potion will be greatly reduced, and after several attempts, it is found that this is almost unavoidable, and Erskine can only find ways to reduce the effect of the side effects, the only way is to find a soldier with good character to complete the final transformation.
"It seems that this is the only way to do it. Erskine had tried everything he could think of, and Louie's presence did give him a better idea of what worked, but it also drained his mind faster, and he couldn't come up with more ways anytime soon.
If there is more time, it may be possible to improve further. But he knew that he had no time, and Senator Brandt was already urging him to enter the next stage as soon as possible, otherwise a large amount of money, manpower and materials would not be consumed, and he would also have a lot of pressure as a senator.
"It's a pity that I can't draw more accurate conclusions, so maybe I can improve it further. Erskine sighed, he wanted to make the potion more perfect, but not now.
Louis played with the potion that had no side effects and could improve his quality in an all-round way, and said something that surprised Dr. Erskine and Howard: "Actually, it's not impossible. ”
Dr. Erskine was shocked, thinking that Louie had some special ability to use, and then noticed that Louie kept playing with the potion bottle: "You don't think about ......?"
"These 'defective products' are useless in the first place, are they?" Louie didn't wait for Dr. Erskine to stop him, he directly mounted the vial on the syringe gun and shot it at his arm.
His movements were fast and coherent, and when the two people on the opposite side reacted, Louie had already completed the injection, and when they saw this situation, they could only stare at Louie nervously, but nothing happened for a while.
"Man, you're crazy!" Howard can now understand why Louis was able to fly a bomber alone to sink a Japanese aircraft carrier, which is not something a normal person would do, "However, without a huge amount of energy, there is no way for the potion to really work." ”
"No, it's already working!" Louie, unlike Steve Rogers, Captain America needs the entire New York City electricity to be converted into special rays to complete the reinforcement. Louis doesn't need it, he has a powerful energy in his own body, coupled with the special identity of a brave man, the moment the potion is injected into his body, he has already completed the enhancement: "It's just that the effect is very average." ”
