Stark first sent a few mechas over, and finally he went over. After a few people struggled for a long time, they finally moved all the instruments to the room prepared by Schiller.
Looking at the room of strange machines, Stark couldn't help but sigh, but considering that he needed help from the beast, it took a lot of effort for him to hold back what he wanted to say.
The blue-skinned beast was very discerning. He smiled, pushed up his glasses and said, "I don't have the same conditions as you. It's just that these machines have only been built in recent years with the funds."
"Wait a minute, it was made in recent years? Has it been tested?" Stark felt increasingly unsure.
"You can rest assured that many pregnant women have been tested here. I am currently busy with commercialization."
"You mean this machine can be commercialized?" Stark frowned again and said, "You just said that this thing can detect whether the fetus in the belly of a pregnant woman has the X gene. If every hospital has one, then you
Aren’t mutants..."
Others also looked at the beast with confusion. The beast did not feel strange about their attitude, but said: "Do you think that if a pregnant woman detects that her fetus carries the X gene, it will be aborted, resulting in mutations?"
No successor?"
He shook his head and said: "Don't forget, although 90% of mutants are not that powerful, there are still 10%."
"Can your machine detect the level of mutant fetuses?" Steve's eyes widened.
The beast shook his head again and said: "With Beta level as the dividing line, we can only determine whether it is Beta level and above or below."
"That's enough!" Steve said in great surprise: "Most people above the beta level won't affect our lives, right?"
"Yes, and mutants above the Beta level are very strong. For example, I...well, I add intelligence to be the Beta level. If we only talk about the beast's ability, it is probably between the Beta and Gamma levels."
"You are too humble." Schiller said: "If you add intelligence, you should be an Omega-level mutant."
Beast laughed happily, but he did not forget about business. He adjusted the machine, and before turning it on, he said to Steve and Carter: "I must emphasize to you that more than 90% of mutants are Beta and above.
Below, this is without counting the Ypsilon-level mutants who died at birth."
"There are some Ipsilon-level fragments in important parts of the body, such as the heart and throat, which may have died during the development process. In other words, the possibility of levels above Beta level will be even lower."
"If it is indeed not Beta level or above, I do not recommend that you give birth to this child. I say this to every pregnant woman. This is not only responsible for you and your child, but also for the safety of this society."
"Your responsibility is admirable." Schiller said: "In fact, many problems are found in ordinary human embryos during prenatal examinations. Although this is a major blow to parents who are looking forward to the birth of their children, it can be considered avoided after all.
A family's pain."
"Problems will always exist, but the advancement of modern medicine will eliminate possible pain and dangers early. This is a good thing, isn't it?"
Beast obviously felt the same way. He said: "During the testing of the machine, I saw a lot of pregnant women who had emotional breakdowns. Their attitude was as if they were fine as long as they didn't come in for a checkup."
"But the fact is that it is a foregone conclusion that there is something wrong with the embryos in their wombs, and they are lucky to be able to find out. In the era without this technology, there are countless incomplete Ipsilon-class patients who were bedridden for life or suffered from
He lingered in the eyes of ordinary people, and finally died in pain and obscurity. Being able to avoid such a tragedy for a family is the most important motivation for me to study this technology."
Both Steve and Carter's eyes were red. Steve hugged Carter tightly, and then Carter sat on the seat. Beast hung up her seat belt and slowly moved the testing instrument to her abdomen.
Data began to appear on the machine, everyone's hearts were in their throats, the beast's brows gradually furrowed, and Steve's mood began to become more and more desperate.
After a while, Beast suddenly turned off the machine. He did not announce the results immediately, but just looked at Steve with a strange expression.
"What's wrong? Doctor? It doesn't matter. Just tell me, I can bear it..."
"No, the machine didn't tell me the result." Beast pushed up his glasses and said, "The only thing I can tell you is that the super soldier serum that transformed you should also be flowing in this child's body."
"What?!"
Beast looked at the screen again and said: "This machine is not magical. It does not directly detect the
The embryonic state is compared with a large number of mutants throughout the ages to draw conclusions."
"But the premise is that the fetus must only have mutant abilities and cannot have other superpowers, and your child obviously belongs to the latter. He has inherited your super soldier ability, which will seriously interfere with the machine's judgment and make it
No accurate conclusion can be drawn.”
"For example, if your child is a Delta-level child, but at the same time he has Super Soldier Serum flowing in his body, the machine will think that he is strong enough to reach the Beta-level, and will determine that he is a Beta-level mutant."
"But the fact is that he does not have Beta-level mutant abilities, and may even have Ypsilon-level disabilities, which may lead to serious misjudgments."
The beast paused for a while and then said: "It would be nice if we could wait until the fetus is a little older before checking. At that time, we can at least determine whether there are any obvious limb defects. But at that time, it will be too dangerous to induce labor. It seems that this machine
There is still a lot of room for improvement.”
Everyone was silent for a moment. They did not expect such a result. Stark patted Steve on the back and said: "Looking on the bright side, the ability of the super soldier serum can remedy the child's physical deficiencies. In case it is really a beta level."
Below, at least he won’t be very weak.”
Steve's face was still very heavy. He said: "What I am most worried about is the Gamma level, which is powerful but uncontrollable and a serious social harm. Coupled with the power of the super soldier serum, I can't imagine how much harm he will cause."
destroy."
Others didn't know how to comfort him. At this time, Schiller said: "I can let Huiwu see if there are any obvious limb defects in the embryo, but because the embryo is still too small, most of the organs have not developed.
Once completed, it is difficult to guarantee whether there will be any problems during subsequent development.”
"What's the point?" Venom suddenly said: "You guys are really stupid. Even if the child is born with a disability or has an abnormal appearance, wouldn't it be enough to find a symbiote to live with him and turn him into an ordinary person?
"
Everyone was stunned.
Only then did they remember that there was also a magical creature called Tal, which coexisted with humans in a very strange way, and could even completely change a person's appearance. Powerful ones such as venom, let alone...
He can repair disabled limbs, even if they become skin fragments, he can put them back together.
Steve showed an expression of sudden realization. Yes, before he learned that the child had the ability of a super soldier, he might have worried about what to do if his body was too weak, but now he knew that the child would be born with the body of Captain America.
Even if there is an abnormality in appearance, it is not a big problem as long as it can be concealed.
Carter also saw the glimmer of hope. At this time, Luo Ji folded his arms and said: "I just wanted to say it, have you forgotten that there is magic in this world? There are many things that magic can do.
As long as you are willing to pay enough, I believe Mephisto is willing to make a deal with you to help this child regain his possibly missing limbs."
Many things are like this. The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear. They often think that they have reached a dead end, but it turns out that there is always a bright future.
Schiller and Luo Ji looked at each other. They actually spoke to remind Steve, but the reason why they didn't say it before was because these are methods that treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
For this kind of child, the appearance is actually easy to change, but the internal physical problems are the big trouble. It is very likely that a lot of plans have been prepared, and the child will not survive after birth, and even if it survives, it will be riddled with diseases and very painful.
Even if he is not sick, the friends around him are all lively supermen, but he himself is an ordinary person who is not even healthy, and may be mentally unbalanced.
They were afraid that Steve would try to force him if he saw any hope, and end up harming others and himself.
However, with the blessing of the power of the super soldier serum, at least there is no physical problem. If you make up for the shortcomings in appearance or limbs, you can basically give birth to a lively and strong child.
Both Steve and Carter breathed a sigh of relief, but the beast still said: "I suggest you invite specialized scientists and geneticists to conduct research. It is best to determine the grade in advance, in case it is the kind of disability that can cause fetal arrest.
, we must always be ready to remedy the situation.”
"A mutilation that would cause fetal arrest?"
The beast sighed, as if he remembered something, his eyes became a little sad, and he said: "I once saw an Ipsilon-level fetus. During the development process, its intestines were overdeveloped and it also produced
Countless branches, like a tree inside the body, but the branches of the tree kept growing and punctured the lungs, causing the death of the fetus."
"There was also a child who gradually evolved gills during his development and was unable to breathe normally after leaving his mother's body. The medical staff at the time did not realize the problem, causing him to suffocate to death."
The two examples given by Beast made everyone break into a cold sweat. Steve immediately picked up the phone and said, "I'm going to call Nick right now and ask him to prepare a symbiote."
Stark said: "I'm going to call Stephen. Even if he's not busy right now, he has to send a mage over."
Schiller thought for a while and said: "Currently, the more authoritative experts in biological genetics have not done in-depth research on mutant genes, and they are far behind Dr. Beast."
"Even so, I still suggest that we should invite Dr. Connors, Dr. Pym and Dr. Richards. If possible, it would be best to also call Dr. Doom."
He paused and then said: "I also know a genius in genetic research, but he doesn't follow the right path and has been doing some evil experiments on genes. The X-Men should have heard of him."
The beast looked back at Schiller.
"His name is Nathaniel Essex, codenamed Mister Sinister."
