Agent Carter wanted to know what exactly the doctor had gone through. Looking at his flushed face, he always felt that something terrible had happened and that the doctor had awakened to some strange hobby.
Carter subconsciously chose to stay away from him. Obviously there was still a huge gap between him and a real scientist.
In anticipation of Dr. Erskine, Lanno quickly came to him with his scientific research team, and they got one of the most advanced biological laboratories in Xinxiang.
Carter found that he had made an extremely wrong decision. After Dr. Erskine met the financial sponsor he had found, he began to be distracted all day long. While working on the super soldier project, he often lost his mind and had a look on his face.
He would even show a silly smile at times, and his work efficiency would drop significantly. He would also run to the sponsor's laboratory every two days, and he would have fun for a long time before each visit, which made people wonder what his true purpose of going there was.
What?
This can't be blamed on Dr. Erskine. By the time they reach their level of knowledge, they are already at the top of the world and are in a state of being overwhelmed by the cold.
There are very few people who can share a common language with them and can communicate in the professional field. Before this, there were only a few people who could keep up with his ideas, such as Howard Stark or Dr. Pym, but
They all have their own research projects, and their fields are different from each other. The number of times they can communicate is very small, let alone discuss.
He thought that he was very lucky to meet a talented capitalist. However, when he actually met the R&D team of Lannuo, he discovered that dozens of people in the team were all like this.
Talents at the same level may have somewhat similar ideas, but each has its own characteristics. Each of them is no worse than a doctor in terms of knowledge, and even masters a lot of knowledge that is a completely new field that a doctor has never heard of.
With so many like-minded seekers available for discussion, Dr. Erskine has become a little too happy to think about life. For people like him, money, power, and even honor are nothing to pursue. His greatest desire in life is to seek knowledge.
Desire, in this case, how could Agent Carter use the leverage to bring the doctor back?
Fortunately, although the doctor was distracted all day long and wanted to run to the sponsor whenever he had the opportunity, somehow, the super soldier project broke through faster. The doctor seemed to have obtained a lot of brand-new knowledge from some source.
After overcoming each difficulty, the super soldier serum will soon be produced.
Although Dr. Erskine was reluctant to part with the strong scientific research atmosphere in Llano, when the super soldier serum was about to be successfully developed, volunteers had to be selected.
"Although this serum is far different from the one I am currently developing in terms of the transformation it can cause to the human body, this serum still has its own unique features, that is, it will strengthen the user's will, and the more righteous it is
Kind people, after using the serum, will be more inclined to justice, and vice versa." Dr. Erskine explained to Agent Carter.
"So when we select volunteers, the assessment of will is more stringent than the assessment of body. Only children with a righteous heart can use the drug."
During the selection process, the doctor still chose Steve Rogers, the Captain America in the original work. After all, it is not easy to maintain a perseverance in an environment like the military.
In fact, Dr. Erskine wanted to drag Lan Nuo to become a volunteer. He felt that Lan Nuo was absolutely qualified in terms of spiritual will, but the other party refused.
The Super Soldier Serum can even affect personality. This is indeed an incredible ability. Even the current Lannos do not have the technology in this area. Even if Dr. Erskine was able to develop such a serum, it was quite a coincidence and luck.
the elements of.
However, the Lannos do not intend to use it. Although it seems to only strengthen their own will, and strengthen their existing will, making the good ones become better and the evil ones become more evil, this is still a problem.
This kind of mental distortion is something that Lannos don't want to be contaminated with. Their personality needs to be shaped by their own experience and training, rather than relying on the influence of external forces.
After Steve Rogers was selected, during the period of military training, Dr. Erskine spent almost all day hanging out with the Lannos, because he found that the research of the Lannos seemed to be about to bear fruit.
.
Previous genetic fusions between humans, spiders and lizards have achieved initial success. Volunteers have gained stronger muscle explosive power and the ability to regenerate severed limbs. However, both abilities consume a huge amount of energy, which is reflected in the volunteers'
The body requires a lot of food, and even maintaining such a body requires a huge amount of energy. The transformer has to carry a large amount of high-calorie food with him to replenish himself with nutrients at any time.
Such a body is indeed powerful, but it is obviously not adapted to the natural environment. In a wild environment, creatures with such characteristics are indeed extremely powerful in a fight, but the huge energy consumption will also make them have to fight all the time.
Hunting, otherwise, they may die of hunger at any time. Nature will obviously not evolve such a species.
To solve this problem, we must fundamentally solve the problem of the human body's energy source. If chemical energy is still the main energy source, then there is no need to break through this limitation.
If the entire human body is burned, the energy that can be released is very limited, not to mention that it can only use the power of ATP to explode. This can be said to greatly limit the output power of the human body.
At present, the biological genes that can utilize nuclear energy have been restored step by step. The Lannos can memorize some important gene sequences. What they do at this time is actually arrange these sequences according to their own memory.
Combine them, then inject them into embryonic cells that have been cleared of genetic material, allowing the creature to develop.
As long as they can be successfully cultivated into embryos and maintain a stable life state, even if the experiment is initially successful, it proves that this genetic gene can still exist stably in this world. The next thing to do is to integrate this biological gene into
The useful parts were cut out and copied into human cells for clinical experiments.
Dr. Erskine has always been curious about what kind of powerful beings Lanno said can use nuclear energy. In theory, such things should not exist in the earth's biosphere. After all, earth creatures have never evolved to use atomic energy.
, he did not believe that the Lannos could obtain the genes of such creatures.
However, during the research process, he realized the regularity of this string of genes. It was not a random string of garbled characters, but something rich in logic.
Every gene and every link complements each other. There are redundant parts, but those parts that can be expressed are all interrelated and can form a very complex and exquisite system. This is almost impossible to be artificially created.
.
It is actually difficult for Lan Nuo to create such creatures artificially now. Most of them are transformed based on the template of natural creatures. But he has seen too many creatures. Combining and transforming these creatures has already become a problem.
Created powerful creatures that could break away from supernatural power and directly utilize atomic energy.
As the embryo develops rapidly in the culture liquid, the embryo finally gradually grows into the shape of a juvenile body.
The embryos of most vertebrates are very similar. They all have a big head and a spine. You need to wait until the middle and late stages of development to see the difference. Now Erskine can finally tell that this embryo is different from other vertebrates.
There is a huge difference between.
What he has is not four limbs, but six limbs. This alone is enough to show that he is not a creature on the earth at all. He has an extra pair of wings than the creatures on the earth, which is almost impossible to evolve through natural evolution.
When dinosaurs evolved into birds to fly in the sky, they had to sacrifice a pair of limbs to turn them into wings. It is absolutely impossible to grow a pair of wings out of thin air.
Insects want to have a hard shell to protect their wings. To evolve into Coleoptera, they must sacrifice their own pair of wings to evolve into a shell. The evolutionary ability of organisms is limited. Vertebrates only have four legs after they come ashore.
, this was already decided when they were still fish in the sea, when their number of fins was limited, and there was no way they could grow a bunch of wings out of thin air.
As the strange embryo develops in front of us, we can see that apart from its limbs, it has a pair of wings that have completely grown independently from its back. The structure is somewhat similar to bat wings. During the process of wing formation, the ingredients in the culture solution also began to gradually
Changes began, and metallic elements began to be added. Obviously these are elements needed for the development of this strange creature.
A brand new organ began to form on the chest of this little creature. A large amount of metal elements were concentrated here, and it grew into an organ composed mostly of metal. This organ was like growing blood vessels. In this creature's body
Another set of circulatory network besides the nervous system and blood circulation system has spread in the body.
Observing this, Dr. Erskine has discovered something wrong: "This is wrong. This kind of network all over the body should be already distributed in the body when the embryo is just developing. It should not be inserted halfway like it is now.
The entire process even damaged a certain amount of the nervous system.
This thing must not be a natural creature. This cannot be explained by alien creatures. This kind of creature has probably undergone artificial transformation even on alien planets. Damn it, don't tell me that you have encountered aliens!" Erskine!
The doctor couldn't help but exclaimed, the traces of artificial carving on this creature were too obvious, but this one was really not transformed by aliens, but by the Lannos themselves.
Of course, you can't say that at this time. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why they asked the doctor for help. If they already have the ability to achieve this level of transformation, they can use their own laboratories to conduct research. Where is the need?
Borrowing resources from the PhD?
"This is also what we are curious about. In previous tests, we also speculated on his gene expression, and predicted the scene in front of us. This is an extremely clear trace of artificial modification, which means that this is definitely not
What natural creature.
It could be a modified creature from aliens, or it could be a powerful prehistoric civilization on Earth, but I prefer the former." Lan Nuo explained.
"Why do you say that? I feel that both possibilities are quite bizarre." Dr. Erskine was curious.
"Because we can obtain this gene, you should be able to understand what this means. When we obtained his biological sample, he still had a certain degree of biological activity. Otherwise, how could we collect the gene?
If it were a remnant of prehistoric civilization on our planet, it would probably have turned into a fossil by now." The Lannos continued to inject nutrients into the petri dish, further accelerating the development of the embryo. After this period of development, the embryo in his body
The set of metal organs has fully matured and begun to function.
Dr. Erskine looked at the data fed back by the instrument and couldn't help but marvel at the power of this creature: "He is only the size of my palm now, but he consumes more energy per second than an adult consumes in a day.
, I think if such a creature did not use nuclear energy to survive, I am afraid that it would not survive for a second."
Lan Nuo nodded in approval. In addition to the powerful creatures from all major worlds, the genes of this thing mainly came from the monsters in the Pacific Rim world.
The Lannos removed a large number of genes related to increasing body size, extracted and developed genes that could use nuclear energy, and edited the organs.
In other worlds, their attempts have been successful, and this system can operate perfectly. As long as there is sufficient supply of nuclear raw materials, artificial organisms can demonstrate physical abilities that far exceed those of other carbon-based organisms.
Even such a body will be very convenient for human body modification. The network in the body can be pulled out and directly connected to mechanical facilities triggered by electricity. It can be used as an energy output source and control terminal at the same time.
In other worlds, this system has been verified and can be used in human body modification, but in Marvel, it still needs to go through the final step of human experiments to determine the feasibility of this technology. Once the technology is successfully implemented, Lanno and others
In terms of physical ability, he is basically not inferior to second-tier superheroes. There is still a strength gap with the Hulk, but at least there are no uncontrollable side effects.
This is also an important reason why the Lannos had the genetic data of the Hulk but did not use it.
