At the same time, things happening here in the Osborne Group were not going so smoothly.
A doctor with a lot of bald hair was showing the military people their new equipment, a flying-wing-shaped single-person aircraft less than two meters long.
"We solved the problem of parallel gliding and gravity balance."
Feeling the strong wind, the general was a little impatient, "I've already seen hang gliding. I'm not here for this."
At this moment, Norman Osborne, who hurried back, put on his white coat and walked in. Although he was very surprised by the arrival of the man in front of him, he did not lose his etiquette.
"General Suo, it's nice to see you again. And Mr. Ba and Mr. Fei."
Except for General Saw, these people mentioned by Norman Osborne are all board members of Osborne Enterprises. As a super large consortium worth hundreds of billions, it is naturally impossible for the shares to be in his hands alone, even if the company is
Named after his surname.
The members of the board of directors also greeted Norman Osborne one by one.
Although Norman Osborne has little more power than them in the Osborne Group, this is a group named after him after all, and many of his inventions have brought a lot to the group.
profits, the directors have been trying their best to maintain a friendly relationship with each other, because the existence of Norman Osborne can bring them a steady stream of benefits.
“It’s great to see members of the board of directors here.”
However, General Suo had no intention of being polite with them, "I want to see the report on the physical enhancement plan."
Ever since the success of Captain America's super soldier program decades ago, the U.S. military has never given up on this plan. They not only conduct research and development themselves, but also seek new human enhancement technologies from various groups and research institutions, even if they cannot achieve it.
To the level of Captain America back then, as long as he was half, or even one-third, it would be a very powerful help to the American army.
Of course, their work was not in vain. When they agreed to conduct research and development, a large amount of resources and financial support came from the U.S. military.
Osborne Enterprises is not only very powerful in the military industry, but also very good in bioaugmentation. Naturally, it is also one of the cooperation goals of the military. However, they are too far away from the military's goals. At present,
There is no essential difference between progress and zero.
The half-bald doctor from before began to explain again. He is also one of the directors of this laboratory.
"We subjected the mice to a gasification absorption test, and the results showed that their physical energy increased eightfold."
"Very good, are there any side effects?"
Although the experimental results mentioned by the doctor are very powerful, General Suo is not very enthusiastic because he was not the one who led the previous contact with the Osborne Group.
Therefore, even if the other party succeeds, the help to him and the profit he can obtain are very limited. When he comes this time, he has no intention of talking properly. Even if the other party is really going well, he will deliberately find fault.
"Only once." Norman Osborne quickly explained, "The other tests were all successful."
General Suo nodded, as long as there are side effects, then he can use the topic to his advantage, "Then what side effects were shown in the experiment that went wrong?"
The doctor sighed lightly: "Violent tendencies, aggressiveness, and madness."
General Suo raised his eyebrows. He didn't remember that he had sent an undercover agent. Why was the other party so cooperative?
"So what do you suggest?"
Norman Osborne suddenly felt that the atmosphere seemed a bit unpleasant, and he quickly intervened, "It was just a test. Except for Dr. Strom, everyone guaranteed that human experiments could be carried out." He had already felt that the other party seemed to be able to do so.
Didn't come with a good attitude.
Damn it, I have been so obsessed with this research recently that I have neglected the other party. Maybe after today, opening an overseas account for the other party will improve the relationship between them?
General Thaw was noncommittal, "Dr. Strom?"
He was asking for the advice of the doctor in front of him, because he liked to listen to what the doctor had to say.
Norman Osborne turned his head and stared at the doctor in the white coat. He was warning him with his eyes not to talk nonsense.
However, Dr. Strom didn't notice his look at all. He never cared about things other than his own research. He said word for word: "We must return the entire research to the equation stage."
General Suo sighed and put his hands away, but in fact he was forcing himself to suppress his joy, because if the Osborne Group failed, the military would have to find a replacement.
And it just so happens that I have a new collaborator recently, a collaborator who can achieve greater benefits. Although the other party may not be able to research anything good, who cares?
He only knows that he can earn enough Franklin from this!
Norman Osborne turned to stare at Dr. Strom: "Go back to the equation stage?" He felt that there was a traitor among his own people.
"Dr. Osborne!" General Suo stood there and said very calmly: "I tell you honestly, I have never supported your plan. It was approved by my predecessor."
An adjutant next to General Saw began to explain to Norman Osborne, "What the general approved is the prototype humanoid armor manufactured by Exploration Aviation. It will be officially tested in two weeks."
Of course, he would never say how much benefit the other party gave them after approving Discovery Airlines' plan. The eldest brother ate meat and the younger brother ate soup. This is normal.
General Suo nodded, "If the human experiment of the physical enhancement plan fails..."
General Suo deliberately prolonged the last sentence, "I will withdraw your research funding and give it to other companies."
Obviously, this other company can only be the Exploration Aerospace Company.
Norman Osborne was stunned immediately, because he completely understood the other party's subtext, and now it was too late for him to give money, because no matter how much he gave, he could not get more kickbacks than the other party.
"Goodbye, gentlemen and ladies," the adjutant said politely, and then left with General Suo.
The directors looked at each other, but soon they exchanged quick glances with each other, and then they casually comforted Norman Osborne and left here tacitly.
They were about to have a slightly more private meeting, a meeting that had been planned for a long time, and it was not convenient to bring Osborne to this meeting.
Everyone left, and only Norman Osborne and the cold instruments were left in the huge laboratory. His mood was equally cold, but he was still thinking about the solution.
The development of the human enhancement program has reached a bottleneck. It is impossible to make a major breakthrough within two weeks unless you do some special experiments.
Norman Osborne gritted his teeth, damn it, he must not fail, he must do this!
