Chapter 96: Three Labs, Different Projects

The underground area of ​​SHIELD, minus three floors.

Ordinary agents and civilians are forbidden to set foot here. Only Luke, the director, and Ms. Carter, the commander, have free access.

Many have speculated that S.H.I.E.L.D. may be conducting some kind of secret research, but it's not clear what it is.

In fact, this is the project team led by Bolivar, participating in the laboratory of mutant gene mapping.

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

I have to say, the wool of Congress is really easy to pick up.

Get some reports to write, bring Bolivar to the White House, and give a few speeches about mutants.

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

On the other hand, the big guys from the FBI and CIA can only silently chime in with lemons.

It is also a defraud of funds. They have to arrest a group of spies and give sufficient evidence to trumpet the threat of the Soviet Union.

In the end, it may not be able to impress the president and let the other party allocate money to play.

It's really human, it's maddening!

"No wonder Nick Fury likes to embezzle public funds so much. It's so easy to get money. Who can't spend it?"

Luke thought to himself.

When the Atlanteans show up, they can cheat another money from the White House.

Then what Hydra, Inhumans... At that time, there is no need to wait for Skynet to be established, and he will be able to become a top rich man.

Sure enough, being the Director of SHIELD has more prospects than any Secretary of Defense.

"Stryker, you should be satisfied with this place."

Luke took the elevator all the way down.

William Stryker, who will become the butcher of mutants in the future, may not be as good as Bolivar's scientific brains and the powerful fighting power of saber-toothed tiger Victor.

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

Luke believes that the teachers and students of Stryker and Bolivar will definitely be able to collide with different sparks of inspiration.

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

Stryker remembers the violent scene in which Luke kicked the flying saber-toothed tiger Victor in the cell of the boot camp.

The latter's injury was obviously extremely serious, but it didn't take long for him to recover on his own, and he didn't even need to see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

"They're called mutants."

Luke corrected.

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

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

He walked all the way and saw many researchers in white lab coats rushing about.

The further you go inside, 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 copying the "leech serum", working overtime for several days.

Luke nodded, indicating he knew.

After finding the saber-toothed tiger Victor, he collected the genetic fragments of the five mutants, and he completed the main task of "Opening of the Third Camp".

The leech serum that inhibits mutant abilities is the reward.

Not only that, but the main mission of the next stage is also updated accordingly.

[Main quest: The rise of the third camp, the legion is coming! 】

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

[Reward: "Clark-Kent's Glasses"]

"Does it mean that you can easily transform into a tall and strong sunshine reporter in the future?"

When Luke saw this award at the time, he said that he didn't need to pretend, and he wasn't interested in applying for a job at the Daily Bugle.

"That's Dr. Teslak. He's in charge of everything in the third lab, and he's your boss."

With Stryker looking left and right, his face full of curiosity, he came to the third laboratory, and Luke pointed to Bolivar who was furious.

"Don't look at his bad temper now, in fact he is a very gentle person in private."

Stryker looked at the dwarf scientist and heard a sentence of Majafak, thinking that it was not very convincing.

"You now know about mutants in Lab 3, and you'll join the X-Weapon program in a while."

After arranging for Stryker, Luke walked towards Bolivar and asked with a smile, "What's worth your anger, Dr. Teslak?"

"Majafa... General, you're here."

Bolivar found a tall figure looming over him, turned his head quickly, and said calmly: "I can't communicate with these idiots at all - just like humans can't talk to the gorillas in the zoo!"

The dwarf scientist's vicious tongue can occasionally rival that of a future Iron Man.

Luke could only wave his hands and let those researchers who graduated from prestigious universities leave to avoid more heart-wrenching insults.

"Which step is the leech serum replication project?"

Major General diverted the topic, geniuses have some unbearable flaws or faults.

For example, Howard has a family tradition of narcissism and arrogance. In his eyes, the military's order procurement officials are no different from chimpanzees in human appearances.

The same is true for Bolivar. When he finds that the researchers under his hands can't keep up with his rhythm, he will yell at him and attack him personally.

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

"It's almost done."

Bolivar held his head up confidently.

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

He is very satisfied with his current treatment and life.

The only pity is that Major General Cavill strictly forbids his own autopsy of mutants.

"Very good. Keep working, I need to develop it into a weapon."

Luke lowered his head and said.

Sea King Namor is also a mutant, and leech serum can pose a threat to each other.

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

It was the office of Dr. Anim-Zola, responsible for deciphering the ancient texts of the Brud Zerg and researching the blood of Woden.

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

According to follow-up observations, more than half of them can only live to the age of thirty-five, and the other half are severely aging, and it is estimated that they do not even have a lifespan of three to four years.

Such a serious consumption level made the military dismiss the idea of ​​mass production.

The reason why Luke asked Dr. Zola to spend time on research is that the blood of Worden has the effect of deeply transforming cells and improving energy storage and absorption.

As for the increase in other aspects, it has little effect on Superman.

Also, that Rogers guy is "Battleship Class".

It stands to reason that the life consumption will only be more serious than the "tank level".

If you can decipher all the technologies of the Brud Zerg, maybe you can find a solution.

"There is no hope for now."

Dr. Zola shook his head.

"The original intention of the Bruder Zerg to develop this technology is to create weapons of war. The survival cycle of the experimental body is not very important to them."

Luke nodded and let Dr. Zola continue his research.

Next, I went to Laboratory No. 1, which is Howard's site.

The main project is to extract the infinite energy of the universe Rubik's cube, on this point, Dr. Zola provided a lot of ideas.

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

"Cosmic Rubik's Cube seems to be running out of energy, and it doesn't respond to any external stimuli."

Seeing Luke coming over, Howard was a little distressed.

He tried various methods, but unfortunately all failed.

Even Dr. Zola's previous metal instruments that successfully extracted infinite energy were useless.

Luke looked away with a guilty conscience, maybe it had something to do with him.

When you hold the universe cube, you absorb a lot of energy.

Perhaps for this reason, it goes into an indefinite standby state.

"What additional new discoveries are there?"

Luke changed the subject.

"Uh—I'm starting to think about making a fusion reactor. Is it a new discovery?"

Howard scratched his head and said: "Build a ring-shaped vacuum chamber, wrap a coil on the outside, and then energize it. This creates a huge helical magnetic field inside, and I heat the plasma in it to a very high temperature. Nuclear fusion can be achieved - if it can be achieved, enough to solve the energy crisis of the future!"

"Then keep going, and when you succeed, I can give you a gift."

Luke smiled meaningfully.

He didn't expect Howard to now have the astonishing idea of ​​building a large Ark reactor.

If the miniaturization can be achieved, then Iron Man can appear earlier.
