S.H.I.E.L.D.'s underground area, negative three floors.

Ordinary agents and civilian personnel are prohibited from entering this place. Only Luke, who is Director, and commander Ms. Carter have the authority to enter and exit freely.

Many people speculate that S.H.I.E.L.D. may be conducting some kind of secret research, but it is unclear what it is.

In fact, this is the laboratory where the project team led by Bolivar participated in drawing the genetic map of Mutants.

Using this as an excuse, Luke also applied for an experimental fund from the Congressional Budget Committee.

It has to be said that it is really easy to plunder the wool of Congress.

Let my subordinates write a few reports, bring Bolivar to White House, and give a few speeches about Mutants.

Then you can defraud millions of dollars, which is even more profitable than robbing a bank.

On the other hand, the big guys at the FBI and CIA can only silently enjoy themselves.

It's also a money fraud, so they have to catch a group of spies, provide enough strong evidence, and trumpet the threat of Soviet Union.

In the end, it may not be able to impress the president and get him to allocate money.

It's really a comparison between people, I'm so angry Deadman!

"No wonder Nick-Fury likes to embezzle public funds so much. It's so easy to get money and no one spends it."

Luke thought to himself.

When Atlanteans shows up, he can find White House to defraud a sum of funds.

Then what about Hydra, Inhumans... Then there is no need to wait for SkyNet Corporation to be established, and you will be able to become a top rich man.

Sure enough, growing S.H.I.E.L.D. is much more promising than growing Department of Defense.

"Stryker, you should be satisfied with this place."

Luke Take the elevator and go all the way down.

William-Stryker, who will become the butchers of Mutants in the future, may not be able to match the scientific research acumen of Bolivar and the strong combat power of Sabretooth Victor.

But even a piece of toilet paper has its own uses.

Luke believes that Stryker and Bolivar, the teachers and students, will definitely create different sparks of inspiration.

"General... are you studying those monsters?"

Stryker recalled the violent scene in the cell of the recruit camp, where Luke kicked Sabretooth Victor away.

The latter's injury was obviously extremely serious, but he recovered on his own not long after, without even having to call a doctor for treatment.

"Their name is Mutants."

Luke corrected.

"Pay attention to your title, otherwise I can't guarantee whether you will be torn into pieces by some bad-tempered Mutants."

Stryker nodded silently and wrote down the word "Mutants".

As he walked along, he saw many researchers wearing white coats and walking in a hurry.

The further inside you go, the quieter the atmosphere becomes.

"General, Dr. Trask is at Laboratory Three."

A person in charge came forward. Recently, the entire institute has been busy copying "Leech Serum", working overtime for several days.

Luke nodded, indicating that he knew.

After finding Sabretooth Victor and gathering five gene fragments of Mutants, he completed the main task of "Third Faction is turned on".

Leech Serum, who can suppress the ability of Mutants, is the reward.

Not only that, the main tasks in the next stage will also be updated.

[Main mission: The rise of Third Faction, the Legion returns!]

[Requirement: Become the leader of either Mutants camp. (4/10)]

[Reward: "Clark-Kent glasses"]

"Does this mean that I can transform into a tall, strong and sunny reporter at will in the future?"

When Luke saw this reward, he said that he didn't need to pretend, and he had no interest in applying for Daily Bugle.

"That is Dr. Trask. He is responsible for all work in the third laboratory and is also your boss."

Stryker, who was looking around with curiosity written all over his face, came to the third laboratory. Luke pointed at Bolivar who was furious.

"Even though he has a bad temper now, he is actually a very gentle person in private."

Stryker looked at the dwarf scientist and heard the words "Fake", thinking that this was not very convincing.

"Now Laboratory Three understands Mutants's information, and you can join Weapon X program in a while."

After making arrangements for Stryker, Luke walked towards Bolivar and asked with a smile, "What is worthy of making you so angry, Dr. Trask?"

"Mother... general, you are here."

Bolivar found a tall figure looming over him. He quickly turned around and said calmly, "I can't communicate with these idiots normally - just like humans can't talk to gorillas in the zoo!"

The dwarf scientist's venomous tongue can occasionally rival that of future Iron Man.

Luke could only wave and let those researchers who graduated from prestigious universities leave to avoid even more heartbreaking verbal insults.

"Leech Serum copy project, how far is it?"

Mr. Major General changed the subject. Geniuses will have some unbearable flaws or problems.

For example, Howard has a family tradition of narcissism and arrogance. In his eyes, military procurement officers are no different from chimpanzees in human appearance.

The same goes for Bolivar. When he finds that his researchers cannot keep up with him, he will yell at them and attack them personally at every turn.

Many poor newcomers with fragile psychological qualities were even scolded to the point of doubting their lives and crying bitterly.

"Almost done."

Bolivar holds his head high confidently.

From an independent scientist with no funds, no investors, and no personal laboratory, to now Dr. Trask is in charge of many researchers, with experimental equipment and office space.

He is very satisfied with his current treatment and life.

The only regret is that Rear Admiral Cavill strictly forbids himself from dissecting Mutants.

"Good. Keep up the good work, I need to develop this into a weapon."

Luke lowered his head and said.

Namor the Sub-Mariner is also Mutants, and Leech Serum can pose a threat to the opponent.

After visiting Laboratory Three and checking the work of Bolivar, Luke turned around and went to Laboratory No. 2.

That is the office of Arnim-Dr. Zola, who is responsible for deciphering the ancient documents of the Bruder Zerg and researching Wardun's Blood.

At the end of the war, Allied Nations recovered all the surviving "Tank-class" soldiers.

According to follow-up observations, more than half of them can only live to be thirty-five years old, and the other half are seriously aging and are estimated to not even have a life span of three to four years.

Such a serious level of consumption caused the military to give up the idea of mass production.

The reason why Luke let Dr. Zola spend time researching it is mainly because Wardun's Blood has the effect of deeply transforming cells and improving energy storage and absorption.

As for the increase in other aspects, it has little effect on Superman.

Also, that guy Rogers is "Battleship-class".

Logically speaking, the life consumption will only be more serious than "Tank-class".

If we could decipher all the Bruder Zerg technology, we might be able to find a solution.

"There is no hope for the time being."

Dr. Zola shook his head.

"The original intention of the Bruder Zerg to develop this technology was to create war weapons. They do not attach much importance to the survival period of the experimental subjects."

Luke nodded and asked Dr. Zola to continue research.

Next we went to Laboratory One, which is the territory of Howard.

The main project is to extract the infinite energy of Tesseract. Regarding this, Dr. Zola provides a lot of ideas.

After all, Hydra's energy weapon was made by him.

"Tesseract seems to have exhausted its energy and has no response to any external stimulation."

Seeing Luke coming, Howard was a little distressed.

He tried many methods, but all failed.

Even the metal instrument that Dr. Zola used to successfully extract unlimited energy has lost its function.

Luke looked away guiltily, which may have something to do with him.

When I held Tesseract, I absorbed a lot of energy.

Perhaps this is why it goes into indefinite standby mode.

"What additional new findings are there?"

Luke Change the topic.

"Uh-I'm starting to think about making a Nuclear Fusion Reactor. Is this a new discovery?"

Howard scratched his head and said, "Create a ring-shaped vacuum chamber, wrap a coil around the outside, and then energize it. This will generate a huge spiral magnetic field inside, and then I will heat the plasma in it to a very high temperature to achieve nuclear fusion - if it is done, it will be enough to solve the future energy crisis!"

"Then keep working hard. When you succeed, I can give you a gift."

Luke smiled meaningfully.

He didn't expect that Howard would now have the amazing idea of making a large Arc Reactor.

If miniaturization can be achieved, then Iron Man will appear in advance.
