When people think of Siberia, they subconsciously think of snowy areas, severe cold, emptiness, barbarism, as well as concentration camps and exiles.
This is a stereotype. In fact, Siberia is an image of a regional area, not a specific geographical term. The area is very vast. East of the Ural Mountains and the entire northern part of the Asian continent are called Siberia.
People think there is only ice and desolation here, but they don't know that this vast area also has cities, forests, oceans, rivers, lakes and swamps.
Siberia is rich in land resources, with large tracts of chernozem yet to be developed, the world-famous Siberian forest, and thousands of lakes and rivers. There is also the world's largest freshwater lake with the largest water storage capacity - Lake Baiga alone.
This lake occupies 20% of the world’s fresh water reserves!
In terms of energy, Siberia is particularly rich in energy resources, with huge reserves of oil, natural gas, and coal.
As for mineral resources, they are even more impressive. Whether they are metallic or non-metallic minerals, Siberia has almost all the mineral resources discovered in the world.
Siberia is a battleground in farming novels. With this land, you can easily transition from an agricultural country to an industrial country. Even if you fly into space, you can complete colonization with ease.
That’s right, it’s that cool!
These have nothing to do with Russell now. The secret base is located in the mountains of Eastern Siberia. This area is one of the coldest areas in the world. Permafrost covers the entire territory. Summers are humid and short, winters are long and cold, and the freezing period lasts for half a year.
The average annual temperature in most areas is below 0 degrees. The living environment is harsh, and most places are inaccessible and basically unsuitable for human survival.
The place where the secret base was established was not exaggerated to be inaccessible. After all, building a base requires manpower. Even if prisoners of war are used, there must be a road to transport people and materials.
There is a medium-sized city 30 kilometers southeast of the base. A highway connects the two places. There are also some scattered villages around it. It is in the transition stage from agriculture to industry and is very backward.
Russell didn't plan to enjoy the blessings when he came here. He will stay here for a while before the end of World War II. The most important plan now is to change Bucky into the Winter Soldier, number-0.
The experimental equipment in the base is complete, and before he came, he used personnel arrangements to make it all his own. Even though many Hydra soldiers were not subject to slavery contracts, they were still managed by their superiors and were very loyal to him.
After a period of time, Russell spread the news of Schmidt's death, and he would officially become the leader of the base. Calculating the time, he felt that Schmidt should have been cold, no, he had started a journey into outer space.
…
When Bucky woke up from his sleep and saw Russell, he exploded on the spot. But his hands and feet were trapped tightly, and an indescribable ball was stuffed in his mouth, so he could only stare.
Unable to enslave Bucky, Russell arranged for scientific researchers to hypnotize him, and the brainwashing process was eliminated. This was considered his bad taste. After the experiment was completed, Bucky's soul was enslaved, and seventy years later, he and Captain America were allowed to confront each other while crying.
I'm beating him up, I'm rolling with sexual passion, and I'm a little excited just thinking about it.
The base is set up inside a huge mountain. At the end is a hollowed-out laboratory. The wall is surrounded by a circle of huge instruments and facilities. In the center is a coffin-like test bed. If the experiment is successful, Bucky will become the third one.
If the super soldier fails, he will be buried in the coffin.
The equipment here is almost exactly the same as the laboratory where Dr. Erskine gave Steve the serum. It is no coincidence that it was built according to Erskine's laboratory. He and Schmidt were colleagues and left behind when they escaped from Hydra.
There is no difficulty in copying many drawings as they are.
The real difficulty lies in the super soldier serum. Only Erskine in the world knows the correct formula, and it requires luck to succeed. Russell has samples of the super soldier serum, and he also has the research data of Schmidt and Zola. With his own analysis,
A weakened version of the serum was created.
Beside the instrument, many researchers were debugging the equipment. Bucky, who was blind-eyed, was tied in the coffin board. He was only wearing a pair of pants and a bandage on his left shoulder. The ricochet was not very lethal. If the experiment was successful, he would
I should be able to save this arm.
This is good news, after all, his dominant hand is his left!
"Sir, our energy cannot guarantee this experiment. It requires a very large amount of electricity, but there are still coal generating units in the base..." The researcher looked at Russell eagerly, because he had promised to bring the best generator.
Russell nodded, lifted the thunder beast in his arms and put it on the test bench: "Didn't I bring it, a pure natural, green, pollution-free, environmentally friendly, high-energy generator!"
The researcher looked confused. Don't think you can tease me just because you are the leader. This is clearly a cat, but the color is a bit weird.
"嗼嗼~~~"
The thunder beast gave a cute cry, shook the explosive hair on its body, and suddenly transformed into a two-meter-tall thunder beast, staring at the researcher with its scarlet eyes.
The latter was motionless, facing the sharp teeth and claws so close at hand, he didn't even scream or make a high-pitched sound. He had fainted from fear.
The sudden appearance of the Thunder Beast caused a minor commotion in the laboratory. Everyone was frightened and wanted to escape. Then they saw the Thunder Beast meekly lowering its head and rubbing Russell's shoulder.
Crackling!!
Russell blew out a puff of black smoke and slapped the Thunder Beast on the face with his backhand, causing it to hold the cable in its mouth and act as a temporary generator. While Russell stood beside it, the electricity released by the Thunder Beast in an instant was enough to destroy the entire base.
There must be a regulating valve to limit the power output stably and efficiently.
The researchers immediately calmed down, and their fearful eyes turned to Russell, and they all respected him like a god.
"Don't be in a daze, the experiment will start now, record the data..." Russell ordered, then paused and continued: "I don't want the experiment to go wrong. The material this time is very precious. Once it fails, it will be even more difficult in the future."
"Yes, sir!" xN
Russell will be in charge of electric energy, and the specific experimental operations will be carried out by researchers. In fact, it is just an injection, and the most important serum has been prepared in advance.
The researcher opened the lockbox, took out six test tubes filled with blue medicine, installed them in the sockets on both sides of the test bench, and then used dense needles to penetrate Bucky's arms, heart and other parts respectively, and performed microinjections into the muscle groups.
This is an extremely painful process and is the first test of Bucky's willpower. The serum will immediately cause cell changes. For example, the whole body will melt little by little.
“Ahhhh————”
After the serum was injected for a moment, Bucky woke up from hypnosis with severe pain. He stared angrily and felt that his whole body was being eaten by ants. The pain was so painful that his scalp almost exploded. However, he could only tremble because he was immobilized and unable to move.
The body let out heart-piercing screams.
The researchers did not dare to be careless and carried out follow-up operations immediately. The faster they were, the shorter the pain Bucky would endure, and the higher the success rate of the experiment.
The test bench is erected and folded up, merging into a real iron coffin. The reinforced materials can eliminate radiation, ensure efficient use of energy, and shorten experimental time.
Russell patted the Thunder Beast and began to steadily input electricity. The energy was converted into VITA rays through special instruments, flooding the experimental cabin where Bucky was.
When the VITA rays completely penetrate Bucky's body, the cells can be strengthened and reorganized, transforming him into a completely new person. But the process is even more painful. His whole body is crushed and reorganized, and his brain is too active to faint. This feeling is simply indescribable.
Imagine.
What's worse is that the super soldier serum created by Russell is still a weakened version, and the pain is more severe.
"Whoaaah————"
When the VITA ray was charged, starting from 30%, Bucky's screams became louder and louder each time, and by 60%, his voice was hoarse and could no longer be heard as a human voice.
The experimental cabin emitted a large amount of white bright light, and the researchers put on their goggles one after another, not daring to take a breath, and watched as the needle on the instrument panel exceeded 80% and continued to move forward.
90%!
…
95%
…
At the last moment, hearing Bucky's screams gradually weakening, Russell suddenly slapped the Thunder Beast, raising the value to 100%!
“Ahhhh————”
"Boom!!"
The energy was overloaded, sparks flew out of the test console, the machines were paralyzed and malfunctioned one by one, and the VITA ray pointer instantly dropped to zero.
"Crack!"
The coffin board was lifted, and the researchers stepped forward and helped out Bucky, who was panting like an ox. The latter's whole body was soaked with sweat, as if he had been smeared with fitness oil, his muscles were well defined, and the edges and corners were actually added with reflective effects.
Russell stood there with a pale face. He did not hear the system's beep, which meant that the experiment failed. Although Bucky did not die, he did not become a super soldier.
"Why did it fail? What went wrong?"
Russell's face was as dark as water, and he was so gloomy that it made others feel cold. He had prepared for this experiment for two years, and specifically selected Bucky, a person who should have become a superhero/villain, to increase the success rate. The result was still
Failed.
What about historical inertia?
"Go away!"
Bucky knocked down the researcher with one punch, and the Hydra soldiers outside the laboratory rushed up to him, but he punched and kicked them away. His strength was very strong, and his ability to resist blows was amazing. The soldiers' batons hit him, and they were all knocked out.
Was bounced high.
One person singled out more than a dozen Hydra soldiers. Bucky glanced at Russell from the corner of his eye and immediately roared, waving his right fist and slamming towards him.
Snapped!
Russell received the punch steadily and bent it slightly, forcing Bucky to kneel on his back. The latter's face turned red and the veins on his neck were exposed. He gritted his teeth and stared at Russell, spitting out every word: "
You damn hydra, I curse you to hell!"
Russell pretended not to hear it and looked at Bucky with a look of joy on his face. The experiment had not failed and Bucky had indeed been strengthened. Although he did not have huge chest muscles or the American butt that the Black Widow would envy, his
The strength has reached the limit of ordinary people, and the serum enhancement has been successful.
As for the reason why the system did not determine that the task was completed...
Russell glanced at Bucky's left arm. The latter had not used this arm in the previous battle. It was hanging by his side at the moment. Compared with the strong muscles in other parts of the body, this arm was obviously gray in color.
, so slender that it seems to be deformed.
"Okay, I take back what I just said, this is damn historical inertia!"
"Ouch..."
The Thunder Beast suddenly moved and opened its mouth to bite the upper body of Bucky. Bucky trembled for a while, rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground.
"It looks like I'm going to make an electronic robotic arm myself..." Russell raised his eyebrows and his smile grew thicker: "I don't know whether the robotic arm in 2035 is stronger or weaker than the other original ones."
Speaking of the mechanical arm, Russell suddenly thought of Wakanda, the hometown of Vibranium. After he develops and grows in power, he will knock on the door of the closed country.
