Research Bottleneck

Looking at the frighteningly detailed medical report, Kingo looked up at Henry again.

"If I hadn't personally witnessed you examining and writing this report, I would have thought you secretly dissected some Eternals to obtain this data."

"You're the first Eternals I've ever met. Before you, I wasn't even sure if you existed. And I promised to share any insights I had with you."

Because the state of this universe is uncertain, Henry only knows that Marvel has the Eternals. But whether they exist on this Earth is truly uncertain.

Strictly speaking, Henry wasn't lying.

"It only took half a day?"

"It's just a checkup."

The reason Henry acted so quickly was because he already had some understanding of the "Eternals." In particular, they themselves were unaware that the First-Generation Eternals from a certain origin was created by the Celestials, rather than being produced naturally.

Another theory is that the Eternals were the Celestials came to ancient Earth millions of years ago and genetically modified primitive humans.

Having gained a preliminary understanding, Henry's examination was simply to find the one among several versions of origin that matched the Eternals before him. Then, following this framework, he filled in the observed results in sequence.

The reason we can be certain that the Eternals did not originate from humans, but were created by the Celestials, is because their DNA type has nothing to do with humans.

An eight-dimensional four-dimensional spiral—this is something that simply cannot exist in the real world. In half a day, apart from being distracted by writing reports by hand, Henry spent most of his time analyzing this elusive Eternals Gene.

Looking at the handwritten report in her hand, Kingo said with emotion, "I originally thought it would take a lot of time, so I specifically changed the shooting schedule and had the director shoot the scenes without me as the main character first. I really didn't expect you to finish so much in half a day."

Kingo planned to give Henry three days to conduct preliminary research. If that time exceeded, he would call it quits.

Neither of them had the status to conduct research behind closed doors indefinitely.

On the other hand, if he can't even produce a research result that Kingo can accept in the first three days, then the test he wants to give the Kryptonian can probably be considered a failure.

To Ginger's utter surprise, what Henry produced exceeded Kingo expectations. He was even hesitant to let Henry continue his investigation, wondering what else Henry might discover.

Henry, however, asked curiously, "Leaving aside your life in modern society, haven't you Eternals ever had similar health checks?"

Kingo replied, "Basically, Ajak, well, our healer, can heal everything directly. As long as we tell her where it hurts, or we can see where the wound is."

"However, aside from Mahd Wy'ry, we won't contract any diseases; we'll only need treatment for the injuries sustained in battle. But I must state first, human weapons cannot harm us."

"OK, I understand." Henry turned and asked, "May I know why you Eternals came to Earth? You're not like me, an abandoned child exiled from Krypton, are you?"

Kingo laughed and replied, "Of course not. We've come here with the mission of protecting Earth's civilization. Oh, but not like you imagine, like babysitters taking care of Earth's civilization."

"In fact, there is an alien race, the Deviants, whose purpose is to Destroy life. They have also come to Earth. We were sent to eliminate the Deviants."

"But this mission was completed centuries ago, and we are now awaiting orders to return to our home planet. Our attitude towards Earth's civilization is one of non-interference and non-intervention."

So don't ask me why we didn't participate in the world war. It wasn't something we started, nor was it our war. Although some of us may feel responsible.

"I understand." Henry understood the outsider's mindset perfectly. Whether it was his Kryptonian identity or his unknown identity as a transmigrator, he felt a lack of belonging to this Earth.

There may be a few people he can't let go of, but Henry really doesn't have the idea of taking it upon himself to save the world like those superheroes in American comics.

Seeing that Henry didn't press the matter, Kingo felt more at ease about his Kryptonian identity. As long as he wasn't a native of Earth or felt they had any obligations to Earth, things would be easier.

Setting down the report, Kingo asked curiously, "Is there anything else you can do?"

"To continue, we might need some samples, or some less pleasant things. We agreed not to go that far."

"Have you thought of any ways to use Cosmic Energy?"

"Frankly, this understanding alone is not enough."

"I think so too." What If...? the Eternals ' abilities were so easily cracked, then the Kryptonian would be terrifying. Kingo thought to himself.

"According to your research, is blood helpful to you?" Kingo asked again.

"Of course there is. But are you willing?" Henry asked, surprised.

"A new condition: What If...? you help me resolve my friend's symptoms... well, even just finding a method or suggestion will do, I'll give you fifty milliliters... no, one hundred milliliters of blood."

"Oh, what generous terms! It seems I've passed the test," Henry laughed.

"Your performance has exceeded my expectations, Kryptonian." Kingo smiled with equal satisfaction. "Do you still have time? Go find my friend."

"Where are they?"

"Australia."

Henry asked, "Do you have time? I thought you were in a bigger rush than me. Aren't you filming a movie?"

"I have confidence in your speed." Kingo gave him a trusting smile that said, "I'm leaving everything to you!" and even winked.

"Okay, okay, I have no objection. I don't have anything urgent to do. It's just that I'm wondering how you're going to arrange the cooperation agreement?" Henry asked about something else.

After thinking for a moment Kingo said, "When signing a contract with United States company, it's best to comply with United States law. So I'll have someone here with a California law license go over and discuss the detailed contract terms with the people at Stark Studios."

"Well, that's good. Let's sign a memorandum first, so they have a framework for negotiations. Once we have a result in Australia, they should have drafted the contract by then. You can go to Los Angeles to sign it then?"

"I haven't been to the United States in a long time. You know, the last time I went to North America was during the westward expansion era. It's just that the white people weren't very friendly towards my skin color, so I haven't been back since."

"Looks like I'm pretty lucky; this Kryptonian looks like a white person," Henry said with a self-deprecating tone.
