Chapter 198 Deja Vu
"After repeated tests, the large amount of radioactive elements contained in those silverware is the culprit that caused the mutant's ability to go out of control." Hank the Beast explained to Li Jie.
Now there is a huge projection screen in front of Li Jie, and Hanke made all the collected information and materials into PPT format and displayed them with the projector.
"Although the radiation dose of this tiny amount of radiation is very small, it will affect people if worn for a long time." Hanke switched a PPT.
It listed a lot of experimental parameters that Li Jie couldn't understand at all, but it seemed that Cyclops, Qin Grey, and Storm could all understand.
Compared with other people present, Li Jie and Wolverine are like two semi-literate people.
"We all know that the X gene is a recessive gene hidden in almost all human genes." As Hank, who has studied mutant genes all his life, his words may be the most authoritative in the world.
"This special radiation wave band will constantly activate the X gene hidden in the depths of the human body, making the genes that have not been manifested materialized." Hanke pointed to a parameter representing radiation fluctuations. Li Jie could only He listened with an unclear expression on his face.
"However, the genes of all mutants do not necessarily develop in a good direction. I believe we all understand this very well." Hank glanced at the crowd and said.
"So mutants are also divided into first and second grades?" Li Jie recalled the grading system for mutants in X-Men movies. "In terms of strength?"
"Our classification is not so simple and crude." Hanke denied Li Jie's classification system.
"The classification of mutants is not based on ability, but on the degree of fusion and perfection of the X gene." Hanke roughly explained the classification of mutants to Li Jie.
Alpha level, with the highest degree of fusion of the X gene, not only possesses powerful abilities but also has almost no physical defects. And you can choose to turn on and off your own abilities independently.
At the Beta level, the degree of fusion of the X gene is not as good as that of Alpha, and there are some slight defects, but it is still within the controllable range. Will not particularly affect life.
At the gamma level, the degree of X gene fusion is further reduced, and they cannot control their own abilities independently. Some people even after long-term training still cannot control their abilities, which seriously interferes with normal life.
Delta class, this is an example of unsuccessful X gene evolution. It doesn't have much power, but it is controllable because of its weak power. This kind of people is the most among the mutants, as long as the delta-level mutants don't expose themselves, or use professional equipment to check.
Basically, no one knows whether they are mutants or normal people, and they have participated in the life of ordinary human society in large numbers.
It is also the most stable life of all mutants, and their sense of belonging to mutants is also the weakest, but they are also the group that is most afraid of the government's promotion of mutant management bills.
Last but not least is the Ypsilon class, the most pathetic class of all mutants. They completely belonged to the group that failed in the evolution of the X gene, not to mention weak and uncontrollable.
It will even directly affect their appearance and physical characteristics, this part of the people is the most pitiful among the mutants.
From the perspective of mutants' evolution, they are all evolutionary failures, but from the perspective of ordinary people, they are all aliens.
Because of various relationships, he was rejected by mainstream society. It can be said to be quite pathetic, and their number is not very small, accounting for at least 20% of all mutants.
Mutants in this category either have a strong sense of belonging to the mutant society, or have a strong sense of resistance to the mutant society.
Anyway, if there is going to be a war, the martyrs in the mutant society are this group of people, and so are the spies.
"And these radiations have strongly interfered with the autonomous evolution of the X gene." Hanke continued after the introduction.
"It's not without reason that some people don't awaken the X gene, because their bodies are not suitable for the awakening of the X gene attributes." Hanke said the key.
"Either because the X gene is too weak, or because the X gene is too rare."
"And the forced awakening of the X gene will cause the X gene in some people to riot, just like it is now. Because this is not the autonomous evolution of the gene, but the forced awakening caused by external pressure."
"So those mutants who have been awakened, in essence, their X gene is not strong? Or their X gene has not reached the time when it should be awakened?" Li Jie probably figured out the cause of these things.
"Yes, that's correct." Hank nodded, but looked at the professor with some concern.
The professor is also a little worried. Because it seemed to remind him of something bad.
"Do you think this time is similar to the previous one?" Hank didn't say anything, but his tone was anxious.
"A little bit, but last time it was bigger." The professor smiled, but Li Jie could see that Professor X's smile was a bit forced.
"The situation is different Charles. Last time it was an all-out war. This time it was a conspiracy." Hank tapped the professor's desk lightly, reminding the professor that the two incidents occurred to different degrees.
"It's not terrible in a total war, because anyone can join the war, but now it's peacetime, and people have moved away from the shadow of war. Even the Soviet Union has disintegrated, and no one cares whether we still have enemies outside gone."
"There is no window to transfer hatred, all the damage will be attributed to ourselves!"
"I understand, I understand. Hank, don't be too anxious." The professor wanted to try to calm Hank's mood.
But no one in the audience could understand the conversation between the two of them, even the other three students of the professor were at a loss.
Not to mention Li Jie, he didn't know much about mutants, basically he learned it from movies in his previous life.
Now the conversation between the professor and Hank makes him very confused, because it seems that this kind of plot has never been mentioned in the movie of the previous life.
Except for these two big brothers who understood the meaning of their conversation, only Wolverine was thoughtful, but the lost memories echoed in his mind, and his brain hurt a little from the impact, making him unable to think of more things. .
Just when Li Jie was about to ask what kind of riddle the two were playing, Cyclops spoke before Li Jie. "Professor, I'm sorry, what are you two talking about? What war? What happened?"
Charles and Hank stopped talking, they looked at each other, Hank nodded, but the professor shook his head.
The two had eye contact for a long time, as if Hank was finally convinced, and shook his head accordingly.
"Give me some time, children, I haven't decided whether I should tell you about this." The professor shook his head and said.
Well, sure enough, there are secrets in it, Li Jie complained in his heart. Maybe it's because I'm here that they don't talk about it.
Li Jie thought about it, there is indeed this possibility, mutants have too strong a sense of self-protection, and there is no point in staying here by themselves.
Anyway, the two purposes of coming here today have been achieved. The first is to hand over the small tool made by Stark to the professor, and let him do a reverse research, so that the X-Men can better find the remaining silverware.
The second is to listen to Hanke's research. Now you can confirm the working principle of these silverware, although Li Jie can't understand those complicated readings and icons.
But Li Jie still asked Hank for a copy of this information, and planned to take it back and give it to Peter's new biologist, Barbara, to study it.
Hanke handed over a document to Li Jie, but many important parameters and test methods were missing from these documents.
There is no way, as Li Jie thought before, mutants have too strong a sense of self-protection.
Hanke didn't want this information to fall into the hands of those who wanted to, it would be a big killer for mutants. Li Jie also expressed his understanding of this, anyway, he was not prepared to understand deeply.
After all, it was up to them to save the mutants.
Li Jie still has other things to do, such as going to the North Pole or something.
I am really busy.
