The era of American comics begins

Chapter 87 Exceeding the task
Two and 10 minutes after the call ended, Michael Passo arrived at Victor von Doom's research institute with an alien under control as promised.He succinctly explained to Dum about the relationship between the hive and the aliens, how the hive can control the aliens and ensure that they work for him wholeheartedly, and he hopes that Dum can study the working principle of his ability and make some suggestions. response.

For unknown reasons, drugs such as sedatives and anesthetics seem to have no effect on those aliens infected by the hive.So in order to quiet the Inhuman and cooperate with the experiment, Michael cast a little hypnotizing spell on him.As long as the magic power he injected is not exhausted, this alien will sleep like a dead pig the whole time.

Doom didn't ask much.He fixed the alien on the bed and pushed it into the biological laboratory of the research institute. He quickly put on the mask and gloves and prepared to start work. He looked quite similar to the kind of surgeon who had undergone emergency surgery.

He used all kinds of cutting-edge medical equipment in the institute to conduct a thorough inspection of this alien from the inside out, from bones, body fluids, muscles to skin, every internal organ, organ, and even the nervous system of him were done. The complete monitoring is just about taking out the soul and observing it under a microscope (this part is actually not impossible for Michael).

Two hours later, Doom dropped his gloves and mask and emerged from the lab.He remotely turned on the floating virtual screen of the computer and showed the results to Michael.

Michael glanced roughly at the complex medical images and data results on the screen.

"You seem to have a clue?"

"I can't pretend to say 'it's not a big deal, it's something I've seen before,' because it's something I've never heard of, or even anything like it,” Doom said.

"explain."

Doom organized the language.

"Well, first of all, I did find out that the guy you mentioned can infect and transform these superpowers. You said they are called 'inhumans'? It doesn't matter, anyway, I did find the reason."

As Doom said, he stretched out his hand and magnified an image a little bit, showing the brain of that alien.

"Look here." He pointed to a certain part of the brain image, "This area is the main part where the parasites gather."

"The nerve center that controls pleasure?"

Dum nodded: "As we know, parasites normally tend to attack the host's body organs and weaken its various physiological functions. But the parasites in our case are different. They live in the Dopamine is continuously released in the central nervous system to stimulate the host to feel confident, comfortable, confident, and even invincible.”

After a pause, he frowned: "Actually, I noticed that these parasites might actually have some such effects. They strengthen the host's body in an extremely unique way, making their endurance and resilience better." significantly improved their ability to perceive pain."

"So that's why sedatives don't work on them," Michael said.

"Not only that, but it also has a considerable impact on their sports and battles." Dum lifted his chin, "It's incredible. Such a small amount of parasites can have such an effect, and you said that these infections are From a collection of a large number of parasites? It is hard to imagine how powerful such a large number of parasites will be gathered in the same body."

"I've seen it." Michael said flatly, "That's all."

Doom choked.He just remembered that not long ago he had witnessed this guy in hell fighting a real demon with guns and live ammunition.If it is compared with this monster, then a mass of parasites does not seem to be surprising.

Michael asked again, "And the solution? Have you found a way to reverse this process?"

"I can't give a definite answer without enough tests, experiments, and data comparisons." Dum paused and changed his tone, "But I do have a solution with a high probability."

Michael actually didn't expect Doom to give an answer so easily, because after all, he just went in and did a two-hour examination on the body of an infected alien.And Michael vaguely remembered that in the TV series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.", the genius science team of S.H.I.E.L.D. racked their brains and failed to develop a perfect antidote, which shows that the infection of the hive is indeed unusually difficult to get rid of.

But Doom's answer sounded pretty confident.

Dum stretched out his hand and opened another virtual screen out of thin air. After clicking a few times to open a new project file, he raised his hand and swipe the screen interface to Michael.Michael reached out to catch it.

In the interface is a small robot in the shape of a reptile. It is small in size, but its design is quite exquisite and delicate.Michael glanced at the brief introduction: "Nanomachines?"

"Yes, one of the programs I developed in the past, I called them 'nanoworms,'" Doom said. "I believe I can program them to attack specific areas of the host's body."

"Won't there be side effects?" Michael remembered that some kind of antitoxin found by Aegis in the TV series would have the risk of destroying the immune system of the target alien.

Dum said proudly: "Of course not. Who do you think I am? I never produce half-baked products. What Dum produces is always the best and perfect."

Arrogance belongs to arrogance, but I have to say that Victor von Doom is indeed a bit too talented.He actually figured out the principle of the hive's infection ability with only two hours of inspection, and gave a near-perfect solution.

Moreover, Dum is almost a super all-round genius without a moment. He is a top expert in physics, robotics, cybernetics, genetics, weapon technology, biochemistry and time theory. Basically, he is a top expert in all science-related subjects.He learns and absorbs knowledge extremely fast. If he hadn't known the character Doom, Michael would have almost wondered if this dude might also be some kind of cheater with a golden finger who came through with a super brain.

"Would you like to know the detailed plan?" Doom asked.

"No need." Michael closed the interface with a swipe of his hand, "You can design it yourself, and let me know when you're done."

After a pause, he turned to mention by the way: "However, what is the specific progress of the design plan of the multifunctional machine that was given to you earlier?"

"This may take a while."

Dum was a little discouraged at the mention of this topic.He closed the nanite project and quickly picked out the robot-related project from the file list.He opened the sea, land, air and stealth with four different models and displayed them to the boss in an independent interface.

"I've tried my best to think of a way." Dum said, "I tried to improve the material on the basis of meeting the defense capability as much as possible, and tried various alloy materials. I adjusted the energy transmission efficiency to reduce energy loss, so as to achieve no increase in energy consumption. On the basis of energy consumption, the endurance combat capability is extended. Then in order to achieve the dual requirements of short-range displacement and long-distance flight speed, I modified the propellers of the air combat models into two, of which the pulse booster is used for short-distance high-speed bursts, and the The long-distance thrusters start slowly, but the top speed can barely reach supersonic speed. However, the average budget of each one is still more than 70 yuan. I am still working hard to improve."

Michael glanced at the blueprints of the four types of machines, the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised, and he couldn't help showing a smile of approval.

He told Dum that the cost of each of these mass-produced machines should not exceed 50. In fact, he himself knew how harsh such a requirement was.When he proposed this, he just wanted to make the task appear to be challenging enough, and he didn't really expect Dum to achieve this goal that was practically impossible.

But who would have thought that?This guy has actually reduced the cost of a single robot to 70 in such a short period of time, and all the performances can barely meet the expected values ​​listed by Michael.This has greatly exceeded his expectations.

With a snap of his fingers, Michael closed all the suspended interfaces in front of him, and said, "That's it. The job was done very well, Victor."

Dum was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly understood something, and said displeasedly, "Wait, did you play me when you said the 50 request?"

"That's not playing tricks on you, Victor, it's giving you a goal worth striving for. How are you going to improve if I keep giving you unchallenging tasks?" Michael said, "Look, you Isn’t that breaking through yourself?”

Dum opened his mouth in dissatisfaction, and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the melody of the mobile phone ringing.

"Sorry, I have to pick it up."

Michael took out his mobile phone and connected the call: "Shirley?"

"Sorry to interrupt, sir. But there are clues that the hive may be showing up again."

"Very good." Michael said lightly, "Then let's make sure he can't run away again this time."
