Chapter 224 The Purity of Scientists
rustle.
A gigantic strange creature that sometimes resembles a human figure, but constantly distorts into tumorous wings or tentacles and horns. It crawls and squirms in the silver-white laboratory from time to time, and even emits dangerous low-frequency or super-frequency sound waves.
Blocking the super-alloy chamber of the "X research body", James stood with his hands behind his back, watching the scene on the screen in silence for a long time, the expression in his eyes was extremely complicated.
Although Dr. Zola next to him is already a "robot", the image gathered by the photon screen on his chest is extremely humane, pursing his mouth and looking cautious.
From the fall of the German Empire after World War II to the present, Arnim Zola has been following this gentleman for nearly half a century. Although he has lost all the physical feelings of human beings, based on his understanding of Mr. Howlett.
At this moment, he is in a bad mood.
"Has it always been like this, never stopped?"
The mechanically synthesized electronic sound chichi sounded, and Dr. Zola said:
"Basically, the X test subject still has the instinct to ingest energy and matter, but the non-stop disordered 'allergic reaction' continues without end."
The room was silent for a while, and the mutants in the closed laboratory were trembling and covered with scales again, and half of their bodies revealed a gel-like liquid feeling.
James was about to say something, but he heard a deep voice behind Zola seriously:
“It ‘sleeps’ sometimes.”
Looking back, it was a dwarf with a big beard who was less than 1.5 meters tall. He was wearing black square glasses and a well-fitting researcher uniform. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his thick brown hair was mixed with silver strands. .
"Experiment X will sometimes change into a material form similar to stone or wood. During that time, it remains still, and the fluctuation of life signals is extremely weak, even almost zero. I guess it is a state of dormancy."
Dr. Bolivar Tresk, James had an impression of him, worked for Edgar Hoover, and was later absorbed by Zola from the then SHIELD Strategic Science Research and Development Department into the Howlett Group.
is a genius scientist who has made achievements in mutant genes, artificial intelligence, robots and autonomous ballistic missiles.
"Do you think it...is still alive, Dr. Trask."
James stared at the image coming from the surveillance probe in the closed laboratory for a moment.
This X experimental body will sometimes have extremely unstable "emotions" and destroy all accessible substances around it. Its strength can reach tens of tons. It must be made of a fully enclosed superalloy laboratory to be safely blocked.
"Of course there is life, sir. But I understand what you mean. Subject X has died of consciousness after that incident. Its current mutant forms are all caused by the power of genetic instinct, and the extremely complex brain domain spirit Destruction is at the root of this situation, so."
James finally turned his head back, looked down at Dr. Trask, only to see the dwarf nodded heavily, and said solemnly:
"—So, it's no longer alive, just a miraculous cell condensate."
"Well, you shouldn't have forgotten it, its appearance has a lot to do with you, Dr. Trask."
In the slightly dim monitoring room, the light and shadow reflected on James' cheeks. He looked into Trask's eyes with a sinking face, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely oppressive.
It is true that if not all rescue methods have been exhausted long ago, both Hank and Charles have spent months trying to restore the rationality or consciousness of the X experiment subject.
In the end, it had to be determined that this was no longer a self-aware living body, and James would not allow Zola to do so many years of genetic research on it.
"I remember, sir."
Trask still stared at James calmly, and even Dr. Zola at the side began to "sweat" for him. Personally, he still prefers this outstanding scientist, especially since they have many similar studies. idea.
Arnim Zola didn't think Dr. Tresk might lose even the chance to become a robot because of a careless word.
".But I am a scientist, sir. It is my job to complete research tasks according to certain requirements or scientific exploration paths. As for the good and evil uses of knowledge, people like us should not be responsible. I think this .You couldn't agree more."
James still stared deeply at Bolivar Cuysk for a few seconds, and finally turned around, speaking softly with a hint of warning:
"I hope you will always remember this and be a pure scientist."
"Sir! Through these years of research on the X experimental body, we have made great progress in the genetic mutation of the mutants. In addition to the perfection of the theory of the mutation principle of the X gene, there is also the advancement of the research on the relative restraint ability. In the end, Trask Ph.D.'s research concluded with surprising results"
squeak
Zola's mechanical body shook, and finally said in an unusually dignified manner:
“. Mutants, a group with magical mutation power, are cultivated through conscious editing through extraordinary technology that we can’t understand!”
The monitor buzzed softly, and James didn't seem to have the reaction effect Dr. Zola expected. He nodded lightly noncommittal, and then walked out.
"Seal up all relevant research files and materials, suspend subsequent development, and open the door of the research room."
"gentlemen?"
Zola seemed to realize something, the fluorescent green screen image trembled and blurred for a while, he waved his mechanical arm and tried to say a few more words about the importance of this X experimental subject.
But Mr. Howlett just turned his head slightly and glanced over, his unquestionable attitude has been shown very clearly.
味啦
The door of the laboratory where the experimental subject was held was slowly opened, and James walked slowly into the silver-white room. Seeing that the experimental subject X had turned into a half-amphibian, half-insect shape again, he slowly thrust out his right fist. bone blade.
"It's a pity that I haven't seen you as a human being, but what is certain is that life in this world has a soul. No matter how ugly this body becomes, Darwin, I believe your soul is still pure."
Hoo.
Orange flames ignited from the tip of the bone claw. James punched into the body of the mutant Darwin, and the flames of **** spread and burned every inch of X's body tissue.
It frantically twists and swings its tentacles or insect-like joints, and changes the shape of liquid, metal, sand and stone or even magma flames according to its genetic instinct, but it has never "adapted" to this incomprehensible powerful force.
Finally, the fierce flames shone on James' face, and he watched very calmly that the experimental subject in front of him was gradually burned and annihilated, and the last few sparks floating in the air disappeared, leaving no trace.
Trask stepped on a low stool and stood beside Dr. Zola. He saw that there was nothing on the monitor screen, only the empty laboratory was left. Even Zola walked out of the room with a heavy mechanical body. Did not notice.
After a long time, Bolivar Trask lay on the monitoring platform, with his chin resting on the back of his hand, and murmured to himself:
"A pure scientist. Mr. Howlett, what exactly is pure?"
Over Edward Air Force Base.
Howlett Group's flat-shuttle supersonic carrier aircraft landed vertically and slowly, attracting the envy of the researchers of the "Pegasus Project" who lined up on the playground of the base, as well as senior officials of the American Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Air Force.
Such an unconventional large-scale carrier aircraft can not only easily achieve supersonic flight of top fighters, but even land without taxiing on the runway, and its maneuverability is outrageous.
But these extraordinary technologies and the special resources behind them all belong to the Howlett Group that no longer needs to conceal its energy and power.
The United States used to be a country controlled by many commercial capital giants behind the scenes, but now, this land has almost spanned hundreds of years of social structure development and has become a new post-capitalist monopoly system.
Howard Stark and Dr. Wendy Lawson stood at the forefront of the team. They watched as the spinner cabin of the carrier aircraft opened, and a "Blue Beast" with fluffy feet and a well-dressed suit came forward. Walking down slowly with the blue-black metal box, followed by a group of capable fighters and scientists.
"Welcome, Dr. Hank McCoy! This is Dr. Lawson, and Colonel Lansley, the head of the Air Force Base, from NASA."
Mr. Stark introduced enthusiastically,
Hank calmly shook hands with everyone one by one, showing the demeanor of a politician, quite different from his cautious and extremely unconfident appearance.
James single-handedly developed the power of the Howlett family to overwhelm the world and overturned the fate of mutants and supernatural groups. No matter how weird the evolutionary looks are, they can walk on the street with their heads held high.
Not to mention Mr. Beast, one of the core members of the Howlett Family Science Corps.
Han Ke’s bright yellow vertical pupils harmoniously combined savagery and rationality. His fan-like animal claws patted the alloy box containing the Rubik’s Cube, and whispered solemnly like a muffled roar:
"At the order of Mr. Howlett, I will lead the group's scientific team to join the 'Tianma Project'. I hope we will have a happy cooperation!"
