Superman of the American Comics

Chapter 95: ?Three laboratories, different projects

Views:

SHIELD's underground area, minus three floors.

Ordinary agents and civilian personnel are prohibited from entering this place. Only Luke, as the director, and Commander Ms. Carter have the authority to enter and exit freely.

Many people speculate that SHIELD may be conducting some kind of secret research, but it is unclear what it is.

In fact, this is the laboratory where the project team led by Bolivar participated in the drawing of mutant genetic maps.

Using this as an excuse, Luke also applied for an experimental grant from the Congressional Budget Committee.

It has to be said that it is really easy to plunder the wool of Congress.

Have his staff write some reports and bring Bolivar to the White House to give a few speeches about mutants.

Then you can defraud millions of dollars, which is even more profitable than robbing a bank.

On the other hand, the big guys at the FBI and CIA can only silently enjoy themselves.

To defraud funds, they had to arrest a group of spies, provide sufficient evidence, and trumpet the Soviet threat.

In the end, it may not be able to impress the president and get him to allocate money.

It's really annoying to compare people to each other!

"No wonder Nick Fury likes to embezzle public funds so much. Money is so easy to come by and no one spends it."

Luke thought to himself.

When the Atlanteans show up, they can go to the White House to defraud some funds.

Then what about Hydra, Inhumans... By then, there is no need to wait for Skynet to be established, and he will become a top rich man.

Sure enough, being the Director of SHIELD has a much better future than being the Secretary of Defense.

"Strike, you should be happy with this place."

Luke takes the elevator and goes all the way down.

William Stryker, who will become the butcher of mutants in the future, may not be able to match Bolivar's scientific research acumen or the powerful combat power of the saber-toothed tiger Victor.

But even a piece of toilet paper has its own uses.

Luke believes that Stryker and Bolivar, teachers and students, will definitely be able to create different sparks of inspiration.

"General... are you studying those monsters?"

Stryker recalled the violent scene in the boot camp cell where Luke kicked Victor, the saber-toothed tiger, away.

The latter's injury was obviously extremely serious, but he recovered on his own within a short time without even having to call a doctor for treatment.

"They're called mutants."

Luke corrected.

"Pay attention to the name, otherwise I can't guarantee that you will be torn to pieces by some bad-tempered mutants."

Stryker nodded silently, writing down the word "mutant."

As he walked along, he saw many researchers wearing white coats and walking in a hurry.

The further inside you go, the quieter the atmosphere becomes.

"General, Dr. Teslak is in Laboratory Three."

A person in charge stepped forward. Recently, the entire institute has been busy replicating the "Leech Serum" and worked overtime for several days.

Luke nodded, indicating that he knew.

After finding the saber-tooth tiger Victor and gathering the genetic fragments of five mutants, he completed the main mission of "Opening the Third Camp".

Leech serum, which suppresses mutant abilities, is the reward.

Not only that, the main tasks in the next stage will also be updated.

[Main mission: The rise of the third camp, the return of the Legion!]

[Requirement: Become the leader of any mutant camp. (4/10)]

[Reward: "Clark Kent's Glasses"]

"Does this mean that I can transform into a tall, strong and sunny reporter at will in the future?"

When Luke saw the award at the time, he said that he didn't need to disguise himself, and he had no interest in applying for a job at the Daily Bugle.

"That is Dr. Teslak. He is responsible for all work in the third laboratory and is also your boss."

With Stryker looking left and right, curiosity written on his face, he came to the third laboratory, and Luke pointed with his finger at Bolivar, who was furious.

"Even though he has a bad temper now, he is actually a very gentle person in private."

Stryker looked at the dwarf scientist and thought that this was not very convincing after hearing the words "Fuck".

"You now know the information about mutants in Laboratory No. 3, and you will join the Weapon X program after a while."

After arranging Stryker, Luke walked towards Bolivar and asked with a smile: "What is worthy of making you so angry, Dr. Stryker?"

"Mafa... General, you are here."

Bolivar found a tall figure looming over him. He quickly turned around and said calmly: "I can't communicate with these idiots normally - just like humans can't talk to gorillas in the zoo!"

The dwarf scientist's venomous tongue can occasionally rival that of the future Iron Man.

Luke could only wave and let the researchers, who all graduated from prestigious universities, leave to avoid more heart-wrenching verbal insults.

"How far has the leech serum replication project progressed?"

Mr. Major General changed the topic. Geniuses will have some intolerable flaws or problems.

For example, Howard has a family tradition of narcissism and arrogance. In his eyes, military procurement officers are no different from chimpanzees in human appearance.

The same goes for Bolivar. When he finds that his researchers can't keep up with his pace, he will yell at them and attack them personally at every turn.

Many poor newcomers with fragile psychological qualities were even scolded to the point of doubting their lives and crying bitterly.

"Almost done."

Bolivar held his head high confidently.

From an independent scientist with no funds, no investors, and no personal laboratory, to now Dr. Teslak is in charge of many researchers, with experimental equipment and office space.

He is very satisfied with his current treatment and life.

The only pity may be that Major General Cavill strictly forbids himself from dissecting mutants.

"Good. Keep up the good work, I need to develop this into a weapon."

Luke said with his head lowered.

Neptune Namor is also a mutant, and the leech serum can pose a threat to him.

After visiting Laboratory 3 and checking Bolivar's work, Luke turned and went to Laboratory 2.

That is the office of Dr. Arnim Zola, who is responsible for deciphering the ancient documents of the Bruder Zerg and studying the blood of Woden.

At the end of the war, the Allies recovered all the surviving "tank-class" soldiers.

According to follow-up observations, more than half of them can only live to be thirty-five years old, and the other half are seriously aging and are estimated to not even have a life span of three to four years.

Such a serious level of consumption made the military give up the idea of mass production.

The reason why Luke asked Dr. Zola to spend time on research was mainly because Woden's blood had the effect of deeply transforming cells and improving energy storage and absorption.

As for the increase in other aspects, it will not have much effect on Superman.

Also, that guy Rogers is "Battleship Class".

Logically speaking, the life consumption will only be more serious than "tank level".

If we could decipher all the Bruder Zerg technology, we might be able to find a solution.

"There is no hope for the time being."

Dr. Zola shook his head.

"The original intention of the Bruder Zerg to develop this technology was to create war weapons. They do not attach much importance to the survival period of the experimental subjects."

Luke nodded and let Dr. Zola continue his research.

Next we went to Laboratory No. 1, which was Howard's territory.

The main project is to extract the unlimited energy of the Cosmic Cube. Regarding this, Dr. Zola provided a lot of ideas.

After all, Hydra's energy weapons came from him.

"The Cosmic Rubik's Cube seems to have exhausted its energy and has no response to any external stimulation."

Howard was a little distressed when he saw Luke coming.

He tried many methods, but all failed.

Even the metal instruments that Dr. Zola used to successfully extract unlimited energy have lost their function.

Luke looked away guiltily, which might have something to do with him.

When I held the Cosmic Cube, I absorbed a lot of energy.

Perhaps this is why it goes into indefinite standby mode.

"What additional new findings are there?"

Luke changed the subject.

"Uh-I'm starting to think about building a nuclear fusion reactor. Is this a new discovery?"

Howard scratched his head and said: "Create a ring-shaped vacuum chamber, wrap a coil around the outside, and then energize it. This will generate a huge spiral magnetic field inside, and then I will heat the plasma in it to a very high temperature. Nuclear fusion can be achieved—if it can be done, it will be enough to solve the future energy crisis!”

"Then keep working hard. When you succeed, I can give you a gift."

Luke smiled meaningfully.

He didn't expect that Howard would now have the amazing idea of building a large Ark reactor.

If miniaturization can be achieved, Iron Man can appear earlier. (End of chapter)
