Adamantium Reinforcement!
Originally, in the initial stages of the "X-Weapon Project, the military did not pay much attention to them, and General Munson rarely interfered. In fact, the entire secret base of the " X-Weapon Project was completely under his control.
Now, with the military's attention, General Munson's focus, and the addition of Chen Mo and two other elite Special Operations Team members, he can no longer command and use the X-Force as recklessly as before. The secret base of the "X-Weapon Project" also has a lot more military support.
Although he is the highest-ranking person in charge of the secret base of the "X-Weapon Project," he still firmly holds the highest power in the base. The X-Force, the base's armed forces, and the "X-Weapon Project" research team are all under his control, and everyone strictly obeys his orders. However, he cannot act recklessly without any restrictions.
The military's attention was both a good thing and a bad thing for him. The military's attention brought strong support for the "X-Weapon Project, which enabled the military to fully assist him in many of his requests. They obtained the First Special Operations Team, including Chen Mo and two others, from the US Army command in Vietnam. They recruited all the researchers according to the list he provided, and also granted him the right to capture Mutants!
However, at the same time, the "X-Weapon Project" has also received more attention from the military. Within the scope permitted by the military, he can receive full support, but if he does something too extreme and exceeds the scope permitted by the military, the military will quickly find out, and the consequences are unpredictable.
Previously, William Stryker had enjoyed the full support of the military. General Munson would fulfill almost any request he made for the "X-Weapon Project. But now, he felt constrained by the military!
Regarding Mutants research, capturing all discovered Mutants is the upper limit set by the military. If life-threatening human experiments are to be conducted, only those evil Mutants with a long history of atrocities can be used. This is the bottom line set by General Munson.
William Stryker initially didn't care, as long as there were enough Mutants to conduct experiments Stryker. William didn't care whether they were law-abiding ordinary Mutants or evil Mutants with a long history of crimes.
Now, Dr. Carol Foster is asking James of the X-Force to be used as a test subject for enhancement!
If it were any other member of X-Force, whether it was John Wraith, Bradley, or even Wade and Agent Zero, William Stryker would agree without hesitation. Although General Munson wouldn't allow him to use ordinary Mutants for human experimentation, he believed that William Stryker wouldn't object too much to the occasional use of one or two ordinary Mutants, especially since it was related to the completion of the "X-Weapon Project. He also believed that General Munson wouldn't hold him accountable for it.
However, James is different. He, Victor, and Chen Mo are all elite special forces from the military's secret special forces. They are combat heroes who have made outstanding contributions on the battlefield. They are elite talents highly valued by the military and General Munson. It took a lot of effort for them to be seconded from the Special Operations Team to the X-Force. Moreover, it was a high-level secondment, which is completely different from the status of Wade and Bradley.
On one side were regular officers with high-ranking positions, and on the other side were bandits who had been recruited and militia temporarily conscripted.
Chen Mo and his two companions are true loyalists of the military, possessing extremely high loyalty and being trusted and valued by the military—something that Wade and others cannot compare to.
For this reason, William Stryker trusted Chen Mo, Victor, James, and the members of the First Special Operations Team more than he trusted Wade and the others. However, for the same reason, he couldn't be as casual with them as he was with Wade and the others. Not to mention anything else, he would never be able to get past General Munson!
Before he could continue considering the question, Dr. Carol Foster's gentle voice rang out again.
"A key part of the X-Weapon Project is to reinforce all the skeletons of X-Weapon with indestructible Adamantium, giving it an indestructible and powerful body!"
Seeing that William Stryker hesitated, Dr. Carol Foster began to explain from the beginning.
"Since it is impossible to replace all the bones in a human body, our only feasible modification solution is to directly inject liquid Adamantium into the X-Weapon's entire skeleton for reinforcement."
"However, liquid Adamantium has a temperature exceeding 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. When injected into the X-Weapon, it will cause enormous damage to its body. Ordinary Mutants simply cannot withstand this damage and cannot survive the Adamantium enhancement."
At this point, Dr. Carol Foster turned to Colonel William Colonel Stryker, met his gaze, and continued earnestly.
"Based on our current tests on a large number of Mutants, as well as the information and data we have, among the Mutants we know so far, only Lieutenant James is most likely to withstand the damage to the body caused by Adamantium and survive the modification."
William Stryker listened to Dr. Carol Foster's explanation with a frown, and understood why James was necessary. Indeed, among the many Mutants they had captured over the years, only Victor and James had been found to possess powerful healing abilities.
But then William Stryker wondered, didn't Victor also have a powerful healing ability?
William Stryker couldn't help but look up at Dr. Carol Foster.
Seemingly sensing his doubts, Dr. Carol Foster explained directly before he could ask.
"While Lieutenant Victor's healing factor is also strong, Lieutenant James's bone spurs are more suitable for Adamantium modification than his claws, resulting in a more destructive X-Weapon!"
William Stryker nodded seriously upon hearing this. If that was the case, then James would be the only candidate for the modification of X-Weapon!
Anyway, once the X-Weapon is completed, it will be used to brainwash people, and once William Stryker has the X-Weapon, he will no longer need the X-Force!
According to the "X-Weapon Project," X-Weapon, which combines multiple powerful mutant abilities and possesses an indestructible Adamantium skeleton, will be far stronger than the current members of X-Force. Even Chen Mo would not be a match for X-Weapon! Therefore, he no longer needs to consider X-Force's thoughts!
