"Reverse crystallization?"

Nick and Pierce were instantly interested, and they looked at the fist-sized crystal, the light reflected from the facet of the facet on it, in Pierce's eyes, even more brilliant and alluring than the world's finest gem.

"How effective is it? I mean, how are we going to use it? Pierce asked with some eagerness.

"The effect? You should know that if an Inhuman wants to awaken his abilities, he will first need to use some kind of precious mineral called the Terrigan Crystal. Luke's words were unanimously agreed by Nick and Pierce, who knew that Luke was not wrong.

"Reverse crystallization, which can be understood as the opposite of Terrigan crystal." Luke didn't have an appetite for the two of them, "If the Terrigan Crystal represents the evolution of ability for the Inhumans, then the meaning of the reversal crystallization for the Inhumans is the degradation and blockade of abilities.

In other words, within the area of influence of the reversal crystal, the ability of the Inhumans is sealed. At that time, they will no longer be superpowers with some kind of inhuman power, but just ordinary people who have been deprived of their abilities. ”

Pierce was overjoyed when he heard this, but out of caution, he still asked more: "What if it's the kind of alien with a high degree of awakening?" Does it affect all Inhumans, or does it only affect those who are not proficient in their own abilities? ”

He had to ask this, the appearance of the robed woman who cut melons and vegetables to solve their snake heads was still etched in his memory, and Pierce was not afraid to give her and the so-called god behind her.

"You're going to have to test it yourself. My experimental data shows that it will silence all Inhuman genes. From this point of view, its birth is to restrain all Inhumans who have Inhuman genes and are awakened actively. Luke gave a slick answer. Although he is confident in his skills, there is no need to talk too much in front of Nick. This kind of fullness may make the suspicious two have more doubts.

"If, I mean if, the crystal doesn't work for an alien, or doesn't work as well as it should, then what's the best way to fix it? Can you provide better and better technology? Pierce hesitated, and asked Luke again and again. His relentless state even attracted a suspicious look from Nick Fury beside him.

"If it's not ineffective, but the effect is weak, then isn't it okay to increase the dose?" Luke also knew in his heart that the most likely Inhuman that Pierce was talking about was the living fossil of that Inhuman. If the other party can indeed avoid the effect of reversing the crystallization, then Luke may be more interested in him.

After all, just like Superman, Superman who is not exempt from the influence of kryptonite is certainly worth studying, and Superman who is immune to the influence of kryptonite and magic will naturally be more valuable to be studied!

Pierce was a little dissatisfied with Luke's answer, but didn't say anything more. He changed the topic and turned to other directions: "How big can such a large reversal crystallization affect the scope?" Would the effect be more pronounced if the Inhuman came into contact with it? ”

"For such a large crystal, the range of influence is about ten meters in diameter. If you can make contact with the other person's skin, it will be more effective. You can even mix some reversed crystals in metal and use them as handcuffs or even as an aid to a building where Inhuman criminals are kept. Luke did the math and gave a radiation range.

Pierce frowned slightly, "Is there a way with a larger scope?" ”

"What do you mean? Is it a stockpile that has a continuous effect, or is it a short-lived use that commands the hair? Luke also glanced at Pierce and asked rhetorically.

"What is the difference between the two?" Pierce perked up, and keenly heard something in Luke's words that made his heart move.

"The former refers to items made of piles of materials with a long-lasting effect. The latter refers to the use of some technical means to maximize the use of the energy inside the crystal in a short period of time, the effect is short-lived, time-sensitive, but the range can be radiated larger! Luke explained in detail.

"For example? Does it mean that reverse crystallization can only be used as an energy product? Nick also interjected, after the appearance of Inhumans such as Black Bolt King, as well as Attillan's Inhumans belonging to the Maximus faction, he had thought about how to target those Inhumans.

It is true that according to the Black Bolt King, the awakening of many Inhumans is uncontrolled, and it takes a great deal of luck to awaken a powerful ability without changing itself. Although there are many awakened people in the Inhumans, most of the awakened abilities are not particularly powerful, at least in battle.

For example, an Inhuman awakens a pair of butterfly wings, which can take him to a short flight to a certain height, but the wings are relatively fragile, because the shape does not change much, which is a successful case of eugenics and evolution in Attilan. But it can't be said how much combat power her abilities can provide her. The vast majority of the Intern's awakening abilities are similar to this.

"Of course." Luke nodded, "Whether it's used as energy for excitation, or whether it's treated as a material and made into an additive, it's fine."

You can use it to craft certain melee weapons, which will give your agents an absolute advantage in melee combat if they become enemies with Inhumans in the future.

It can also be made into bullets, when shooting at Inhumans, bullets will also affect his abilities, perhaps not much for some Inhumans who are extremely skilled in ability control, but for those who have just awakened, or have difficulty controlling their own power, any slight, ability impact may directly lead to his defeat or even death.

The above is a skirmish. If you want to fight a positional battle beforehand, as long as it is in an open area with not many buildings, you can even use celestial phenomena to mix material powder in those catalysts to carry out an artificial rainfall. I've done simulations in the data dimension, and I only need to adjust the dose, which is enough to affect a considerable range of Inhuman's abilities. The more empty the place, the more affected Inhumans will be. The air also carries trace factors of crystals for a period of time, and it will react more when it is breathed into the body.

The last method is to use a specially made instrument to excite the energy in the crystal body for a moment, and turn it into an energy shock wave that radiates to the surrounding area.

The above two types of applications can be applied in a wide range and in a short period of time without requiring terrain. I'm just going to give you a few examples. ”

"Sounds good, what do you think?" Pierce's eyes lit up as he looked at the inverted crystal, and as he spoke, he looked sideways at Nick beside him, asking for his opinion.

"Not bad, indeed. What about the cost? Although Nick is also very satisfied with this in his heart, as a person who has dealt with Luke many times in business, his previous experience tells him that Luke really has no shortage of good things and good technology in his hands, but at the same time, the price he sells to the outside is really exciting.

In the past, it was okay to use the US dollar as the settlement currency, but in any case, S.H.I.E.L.D. gritted its teeth and squeezed here and picked some there, so if it didn't work, it would make a few more seriously worded reports and apply for more funding upwards. But since the new currency of energy was used as the settlement currency, the business with Luke has been highlighted as a non-man!

Anyway, for every subsequent technology, Nick can't find a sample that can be benchmarked, it's completely a technology monopoly, but there is nothing to do about it.

S.H.I.E.L.D. has inexplicably been transformed from the status of the previous gold owner's father to the younger brother of the debtor. As a result, Nick is a little lacking in confidence when facing Luke now.

Luke didn't hide anything the whole time, it was all done under Nick's nose. Nick knows very well that the new currency is a big pit, but this is a conspiracy, in exchange for whoever sits in this position under Nick's ass, as long as the head is not bad and the IQ is still there, he knows that he can't follow it. Not following means giving up on the future completely. It is also equivalent to giving up the development and related functions of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future.

Nick can only hope now, as a consumable, this time Luke will be able to show mercy and not be so fast. Even if a blunt knife slowly cuts the flesh. Although he knew that this was unlikely.

"A new currency, five hundred grams."

But maybe he heard Nick's heart, or maybe Nick thought that Luke finally had a discovery of conscience, and this time the price Luke gave did not exceed Nick's psychological bottom line, and even the bottom line he drew in his heart was still a certain distance. This really made Nick feel overjoyed and wanted to cry.

"A new currency, five hundred grams! Let's sign up! Nick still felt a little unreal, but he rarely began to urge Luke to draft a contract and get him to sign it with Pierce. He wanted to die at this price now, and not give Luke any chance to regret it. He even forced the urge to ask Luke if he was mistaken, for fear that if he asked, Luke would give him a sentence: mistaken, it's a new currency, five grams. Isn't he going to explode on the spot?

Strictly speaking, the price Luke gave was still not very cheap, but Nick, who felt the [good quality and low price] for the first time in Luke's place, was already very satisfied. At least for this price, where it can be arranged and used, there can be more.

When experimenting and consuming it, he wouldn't have the kind of feeling that made his heart ache to the point that he couldn't breathe. In just a few years, Luke has transformed a spendable director of S.H.I.E.L.D. into a budget-conscious miser. The only thing that makes Nick feel a little ironing is that his money-making and deduction skills have also increased significantly during this time.

As one of the permanent directors of S.H.I.E.L.D., Pierce also read some information about the new currency provided by Nick in the later stage, so he also had a rough estimate of the purchasing power of the new currency. After hearing the price Luke quoted, he also thought that it was not too expensive.

This made him glance at his old buddy Nick with a strange look. He didn't hear Nick complain to him about how expensive Luke's technology was, and at the same time submit him applications for various resources for support. The other party's expression and tone at that time are still vivid in my mind, without any pretense, and it is truly empathetic.

Pierce believed it for a while, thinking that the price of Luke's technology was really expensive enough to make Nick feel heartache. But today, he realizes that everything doesn't seem to be as Nick told him.

It's still Luke's exclusive technology, it's still a technology customized to the needs of S.H.I.E.L.D., according to Nick, this kind of technology usually Luke will offer a very high price at the beginning of the delivery of the finished technology, at least the first one or two batches of finished products. But it's better to see than to hear, and it's better to experience it than to see it, this time he personally participated in the business, and he found that Luke is still very conscientious about doing business!

Although the price of the reversal crystallization is still expensive, compared to the blood and tears that Nick told him, it is simply a model of a businessman. Pierce also understands that this kind of technology, which is only specially customized for S.H.I.E.L.D., must be sold more expensive to recover the cost of research and experiments in the early stage.

The question arises, why did Nick lie to him? Or rather, why did he exaggerate Luke's greed?

Thinking of the fact that his old fellow seemed to have embezzled funds secretly over the years, this gave Pierce a kind of realization in his heart. Although the embezzled money Hydra also unknowingly shared a big cup of the pie, but this is also inevitably the fact that you Nick is corrupt! Pierce is not angry with Nick for embezzling funds, after all, he and his Hydra are also vested interests. But what he was angry about was that this time on the new track of the new currency, Nick actually put aside Hydra and ate alone!

He's hungry for new currencies too!

He'd love to join in!

Pierce thinks it's time to pick a time to have a good heart-to-heart with Nick.

Nick was a little numb from Pierce's inexplicable gaze, and his heart tightened, and when he wanted to carefully observe Pierce's expression, the other party had already turned his head and communicated with Luke again. He frowned and thought about it seriously, and after feeling that he didn't show anything abnormal, he could only temporarily suppress the strange emotions that had abruptly arisen in his heart before, and not show them out.

The immediate need is to sign the order with Luke first, settle the business dust, and create actual facts. Everything else can be postponed.
