Reconstructive Surgery

Inside the Osborn Group's laboratory, the team that originally modified and enhanced the wearers of the Knight System was disbanded and reorganized. Except for a few people who had mastered the core technology, the rest were all scientists from Hydra. What they were working on was a human modification project.

Hydra has extremely strong control over its subordinates. Even though Amni Zola died of cancer, he uploaded his consciousness to a computer before his death, continuing to contribute to Hydra's great cause. Therefore, there is no need to worry about today's inhumane surgery being exposed.

Wei Xiuming was very confident in his skills, but Pierce didn't think so. Even the failed Winter Soldier Program had value, and even though they were his own people, Wei Xiuming still made exorbitant demands on Pierce for surgery fees, equipment fees, and other things. He also made him provide a large number of precious materials, such as extraterrestrial substances outside the periodic table of elements, and a batch of metallic substances carried by Small Town Meteorite.

Pierce strongly suspected that Wei Xiuming was using a pretext to rip him off, so he only sent him a sample to be destroyed for modification, and would see how things went after the results came out.

The experiment has now entered its second phase. The female warrior, originally named Xenia, has been disassembled down to just her brain. Her brain, cerebellum, and brainstem are preserved in Biological preservation device, with nerve endings connected to electrode pads. Simulated bioelectrical signals are used to maintain brain activity and prevent the female warrior from experiencing a personality breakdown. The remaining body tissues are cryopreserved, and the female Winter Soldier will revert to a human form when needed.

Actually, it wouldn't matter if they didn't do that. Hydra's brainwashing methods for the Winter Soldier were very crude. Basically, they used drugs, optical stimulation, and verbal inducement to make the Winter Soldier develop a second personality. Under the control of this personality, the Winter Soldier would obey anyone who knew their activation code.

This second personality is quite dominant and can usually suppress the original self-awareness of the Winter Soldier, but it needs to be maintained regularly. Otherwise, the original consciousness will dissipate this artificial consciousness and regain the initiative.

However, this method has a high failure rate. The Winter Soldier named Xenia was mentally twisted due to the conflict between two personalities, turning her into Beast who only knew how to kill.

Just as the enhancement of the Knight Armor wearers was witnessed by a group of people from the Department of Defense and the military, some of Hydra's high-ranking officials were also watching from a nearby room. However, after seeing a living person being dismantled into parts, most of them, except for a few who had experienced the war firsthand, couldn't help but vomit. Even some of the Hydra technicians, who were trained by the remnants of the Third Reich and whose methods could be described as demonic scientists, couldn't help but feel their legs go weak.

"Skeletal tissue complete."

The lightweight, high-strength alloy skeleton, made primarily of Skrulls spacecraft alloy, was assembled. This alloy possesses both rigidity and flexibility, and the mechanical components functioned well after system testing.

"Internal organ tissue complete."

"Muscle tissue complete."

"Circulatory system complete."

"Lymphoid tissue complete."

"Injecting blood."

"The mechanical bio-control structure has been assembled and is functioning well after being injected with blood. Biological tissue transplantation will begin."

After all the artificial organ parts were assembled into a terrifying humanoid shape, the entire laboratory suddenly fell silent. Apart from the barely perceptible noise of the medical equipment running, all the staff involved in the experiment quieted down, even slowing their breathing, for fear that the slightest noise would disturb the transplant surgeons. Even the observers behind the thick glass viewing windows subconsciously held their breath, even though they could not communicate with those inside without a special broadcasting system.

Just as the researchers were removing Xenia's brain from the Biological preservation device and transplanting it into her bio-engineered body, an untimely cell phone ringtone suddenly sounded. Even though the person had turned the ringtone down very low, it was still extremely jarring in the silent laboratory. It was like secretly opening a mobile game during a boring calculus class, but forgetting to mute it, and then the teacher posed a difficult question, causing the entire classroom to fall silent.

"What happened!" Pierce anxiously asked Wei Xiuming through the internal communication device. He had endured nausea for three hours watching human anatomy, and if something went wrong at the crucial moment, wouldn't all his suffering for those three hours have been for nothing?

Moreover, there were no sofas or chairs in the room, and he stood the whole time. He was no longer young, and his long office career had made him neglect exercise, so his physical condition could no longer withstand standing for such a long time.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Some clueless guy called me at this time." Wei Xiuming said simply to Alexander Pierce, then instructed the experimenters to continue the operation, and then took out his phone from his pocket.

"It's Nick Fury." Through the observation window, he exchanged a glance with Alexander Pierce, who wisely turned off the broadcast device. Nick Fury was a very vigilant man; he couldn't let him know about the private connection he was having with Wei Xiuming before the game was completely over.

After the call connected, Wei Xiuming said irritably, "Can't we talk about this later? Your call almost ruined a multi-million dollar experiment of mine."

Nick Fury, on the other end, calmly said, "I'm in your dorm right now, and there's something I think you'd love to know."

"Did you find SHOCKER's headquarters or discover Doctor Death's whereabouts?" His upgraded access control system had been breached by Nick Fury again, and Wei Xiuming's tone hardened further. "Or did you discover that someone was conducting high-dose radiation experiments on Amazon Cells contaminated by vampires, creating an uncontrollable and powerful monster?"

As he spoke, Wei Xiuming watched the transplant surgery. The brain was successfully placed into the artificial skull, and the artificial nerves and blood vessels in the spine and spinal canal were connected to the brain under the control of the experimenters. Then came the arteries and veins in the neck. It was a long and meticulous process.

In addition, there are ultrasonic nar ears with hearing four to ten times that of ordinary people; artificial compound eyes connected to the optic nerve, with vision equivalent to three times that of humans, and the ability to see at night like a cat. They can be focused and turned into telescopes or microscopes, and can simulate the retinal structure of anyone by adjusting the iris, etc. All of these require long-term surgery for installation.

"It's about the Worms," Nick Fury said. "The military captured some Worms and deployed them as weapons in other countries."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiuming frowned and said, "I'll go back right away."
