In a camp outside London, a group of strong men who could walk horses on their shoulders and stand people on their arms were practicing wrestling.
A rather fervent philosophical atmosphere permeated the air.
Luke took Dr. Zola and stood on the top of a hill not far away.
Those soldiers who were successfully transformed had extremely obvious and huge changes in their height and physique.
Looking at the muscular body, which is about two meters per person, wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt, the bulging muscles outline obvious lines.
Luke was worried that their overly developed muscles would burst the clothes, and then stage an exciting scene of sudden bursting of clothes.
This was a week after the "Allied Superman" project was implemented. Among the first batch of more than 300 recipients, only 26 people were able to successfully survive three mutations.
As for the twenty-four mutations that transformed into "Battleship Class", only Captain America has done it.
In Stephanie's words, "Captain Rogers is the test subject with the most amazing willpower I have ever seen."
It's just that after surviving several painful transformations of mutation, they have not yet met the requirements for going to the battlefield.
Just yesterday, a bloated soldier felt so powerful that he tried to lift a jeep parked at the camp.
Before he could do it, his skin was torn, his bones were broken, and he was mercilessly crushed into a ball by the jeep.
Regarding this accident, Stephanie specifically explained that those soldiers were like half-built airplanes. If they tried to take off forcefully, it would only cause the aircraft body to collapse.
It takes a period of training and adaptation before you can become a true "tank-level" or "battleship-level" soldier.
"Dr. Zola, you have been involved in the research on the 'Blood of Woden' for some time. How much do you know about the composition of the red crystal and the principles of transforming the human body?"
Luke looked into the distance, his mind wandering.
News has come from the Allied Command that Berlin has dispatched three "battleship classes", each leading an army to form a battle group.
For now, no one on the battlefield can stop them.
According to the intelligence received by the Strategic Science Corps, Siegmund Battle Group is advancing to the east.
Although the fighting began, the Soviet troops held their positions tenaciously.
However, due to heavy losses in soldiers and weapons, they were forced to retreat backwards.
Siegfried Kampfgruppe retook Ploieste, securing oil supplies for the Third Reich.
This gave the Axis powers, which had lost their fate, a glimmer of hope for their rise.
The Sieglinde Battle Group was active on the territory of Free France. Under the leadership of the Aryan Superman, the entire force penetrated the Allied defense lines and advanced towards Paris.
Two days ago, de Gaulle made a public speech on the radio.
He expressed that he would persist in resistance, never retreat, and must liberate France.
Although the official rhetoric said so, the situation of the Allied Powers was not optimistic, and they were in a state of retreat on the battlefield.
Luke estimated that it wouldn't be long before someone from the Allied Forces would come and invite him over.
After all, no matter how many beautiful words you say, it is not as effective as taking practical actions.
If Berlin's "battleship class" continues to advance without any obstacles, London might as well just raise the white flag and surrender.
"Your Excellency, Brigadier General, the composition of those red crystals is very strange, and it cannot be fully analyzed at the moment. Although the synthesis process is simple, the yield is low, and the cultivation time is about six months."
Dr. Zola's attitude was respectful, like an intern reporting to his boss: "It has the effect of stimulating human cells and catalyzing growth. However, because the process is relatively direct and rough, it will cause a certain degree of pain to the test subjects."
"For you, Brigadier General, the effect that 'Woden's Blood' can have is almost negligible."
"If the average person is a bowl and a super soldier like Captain Rogers is a barrel, then you are the ocean."
“The first two can expand the amount of water they can carry through external forces, but you don’t need it at all.”
Luke readily accepted Dr. Zola's compliment. He felt that the chief scientist of Hydra was fully capable of becoming a top ten employee.
He speaks well and works efficiently. He is a talent worth recruiting.
"However, Brigadier-General, I have other discoveries."
Dr. Zola glanced up and found that Luke's face was calm, with no specific emotions visible.
I think flattery and flattery cannot easily impress the young brigadier general, so he still has to show his abilities.
So, Dr. Zola added: "After deciphering the ancient document that Ms. Stephanie brought, and then referring to Berlin's three 'battleship classes', I have a bold idea."
"Perhaps the real function of 'Woden's Blood' is not to strengthen the human body, but to transform cells to form a more efficient way of storing energy."
"That's why Berlin's Aryan superman can directly release energy attacks with astonishing destructive power through his eyes."
"However, due to the relatively low conversion rate of energy stored in the cells in the body, the absorption cannot keep up with the output. Even the 'Battleship Class' can only last eight hours of combat."
Luke nodded with a satisfied smile on his lips.
Dr. Zola's idea is interesting and may be the closest to the correct answer.
"If I ask you to make some improvements, ignore strengthening the human body and focus on improving the energy conversion rate of cells in the body, can you do it?"
Luke asked softly.
He has long wanted to try to develop Superman's heat vision ability, and "Woden's Blood" can do just that.
There is no need to bask quietly in the sun. Sometimes it is a good idea to use external force.
Dr. Zola thought for a moment and nodded, no problem.
With the help of that ancient document, it is not difficult to complete Luke's request.
"However, Your Excellency, Brigadier General..."
The chief scientist of Hydra sounded hesitant and reminded: "'Woden's Blood' stimulating the human body has side effects. It will shorten the life cycle. The more the power is used, the greater the consumption."
The "Brud Zerg" in ancient times developed the "Blood of Woden" transformation technology only to produce war machines.
They had no intention of creating a new, perfect race of super humans.
Therefore, it is natural that there will be flaws.
"Don't worry about this, Dr. Zola."
After hearing this, Luke had no reaction.
Although he didn't know how long the natural lifespan of Kryptonians was, he probably didn't expect it to be much shorter than Asgardians who could live for more than a thousand years.
For humans, a few decades may take up most of their lives.
But in the eyes of other races, this may be just a short experience.
"If the Kryptonians are willing to endure, they may survive until the earth explodes."
This thought flashed through Luke's mind, but considering that the planet beneath his feet was probably the eternal heart of one of the five gods, an explosion would probably be unrealistic.
"Rogers is a stubborn guy."
Accepting the "Blood of Woden" transformation and shortening the life cycle is not a big problem in Luke's opinion.
However, for Captain America, who is a normal human being, it is even worse.
Before participating in this plan, Luke specifically reminded Rogers.
Unfortunately, the latter did not choose to back down.
“I want to see results as quickly as possible.”
Luke calmed down his distracting thoughts and said calmly.
Time was running out for the Allies and him. (End of chapter)
