University of California, Berkeley, Nuclear Biochemical Research Institute.
Henry and the other two who had come along were personally shown around this institute, established at great expense by the University of California, by Bruce Banner.
Although the office area was a chaotic mess due to the piles of books everywhere, without the slightest hint of sophistication.
The area used to cultivate nanomicroorganisms from various plants and animals, as well as the gamma-ray irradiation apparatus that was the most important part of the entire research project, were clearly no cheap equipment one could find outside.
It was obvious that the University of California had truly treated Bruce Banner like a living Buddha, sparing no expense and never letting his research suffer the slightest setback.
Gamma rays were responsible for activating the nanomicroorganisms and supplying the energy needed for them to repair wounds or regenerate limbs. It sounded simple enough, and the focus of the research ought to have been on cultivating the nanomicroorganisms.
In reality, how long the gamma-ray exposure should last and what intensity it should use still required massive amounts of experimental data, followed by attempts to derive a biochemical equation.
Even Bruce Banner, who also held a doctorate in mathematics, remained utterly at a loss when faced with the enormous volume of accumulated data.
That was because the nanomicroorganisms themselves were also being improved, and each iteration was different. There was no standard for determining whether they had been improved or made worse.
Although Bruce Banner had tried using computer programs to analyze the data and build a model, the model had yet to converge to a point where it could be interpreted.
In other words, his experiment was nowhere near the critical final step he had described in his lecture. He might not even have made it
