After the end of World War II, it was impossible for any researcher with the name of a biologist not to have heard of the "Super Soldier Project".Even now, 55 years after the end of World War II, Merlin knows around the world that there are several biological laboratories that are trying to replicate the Captain America that made Captain America Steve.
Rogers' Super Soldier Serum.But the difficulty of replicating this thing is too high, and for decades, so many biologists in the world have not been able to come up with a practical solution, which has proved how complex the secret of the super soldier serum is.It almost goes beyond mere biology.Merlin had seen information about the Super Soldier Serum in some classified information of S.H.I.E.L.D., and he knew that for the Super Soldier program back then, the serum was only the basic element of that huge project.
Stark's design of a certain energy conversion device is also a very important part.In the absence of that special energy conversion means, even if you get the Super Soldier Serum, its transformation of the human body is far less than Steve's back then.
Rogers came even more amazingly.Merlin is a real example of this.He had also been injected with Super Soldier Serum, although the amount injected into his body did not reach the theoretical optimal value.However, Merlin did not accept the complete process of transforming into a super soldier, he used his magic power as energy to make the serum strengthen his body, and as a result, Merlin can only be regarded as a half-baked super soldier so far.The super-soldier serum, the strengthening effect on his body did not achieve the legendary effect of "turning decay into magic".However, the transformation of human bodies and the exploration of potential are an instinct engraved in the bones, so to this day, the theory of body enhancement is still a very hot discussion point in the circle of biologists.As one of the top few biologists and an important member of the Emperor Project, Dr.
Serizawa's senior apprentice, Vivien.
Miss Graham is naturally no stranger to this theory.But as an elite who has been educated in materialism since childhood and has grown up accustomed to cold data, even though she has learned the true identity of Merlin from her mentor and spiritual partner, she still has certain doubts about such things as magic.This is normal, and people will subconsciously stay away from what they don't understand."
Prongtail dragon spinal fluid...
Flying lion venom gland, and this?
What is this thing?
The tongue of an albino banshee?
Hey...
It's disgusting. ”Vivien read the recipe Merlin had given her in a critical tone, and she said, "I know you're a wizard, Mr.
Merlin, but with all due respect, I've never heard of 90% of the material on it...
I've seen this potato root alone. ”"That's not a potato, Vivien."
Merlin drank watermelon juice as he corrected, "That's potato root, and potatoes are two different things."
Potato is a common alchemy material, growing in a damp dark cave that does not see the light of day all year round, and will absorb a trace amount of magic to blossom and bear fruit, so generally where there is a European potato, it is a place where magic naturally gathers. ”"Of course, I won't let you look for these materials."
Merlin took out a small wooden box from his pocket and pushed it in front of Vivien's eyes, he said: "This is the material I have found, the material of the 2 test weights, the compatibility process of the mutant potion does not require the participation of magic, but you had better make it strictly according to the requirements of the formula." ”"You mean, we'll have to prepare two silver cauldrons, and a 13-tube spiral still?"
Vivien looked at the wooden box in front of her and said, "Couldn't it be replaced with a centrifuge and a beaker alcohol lamp?"
I'm a biologist after all, not a witch who brews potions...""
I don't know."
Merlin shrugged his shoulders and said, "So you can give it a try, and I'll send you enough material for your experiments in the next few months."
I have only one request, to find out the secret of this potion used to strengthen the body, and to keep it a secret!
It's best if only you and Dr.
Kotozawa know. ”"I don't know what this thing does?"
Vivien placed the wooden box in her handbag, folded the recipe and placed it close to her body, then reached out her finger and picked up a piece of fragrant pizza.She rolled up the thin pizza as if it were a burrito, took a bite, and while satisfying her stomach, she asked curiously, "You asked me and my mentor to help you do the experiment, at least you should tell us the purpose of the experiment and the principle of reinforcement."
We are scientists, and our knowledge of magic only comes from bedside stories as children.Even though I'm now in charge of helping you tame a bunch of flying and fire-breathing dragons, it's still hard for me to accept magic that isn't scientific at all. ”"Okay.I'll explain it to you in detail. ”Merlin also picked up a piece of pizza, he took a bite, and then whispered, "This thing, it's called a mutant potion, or a green herbal potion, don't care about the name, it's not my name."
In short, it comes from a fairly ancient lineage, the first green herbs appeared around the 1st century AD, and were made by a group of witches and warlocks to strengthen some warriors, allowing them to transcend the physical shackles of ordinary people, and gain strength to fight the monsters that were ravaging the world at the time. ”"But the original formula of this potion is very...
Well, brutal. ”Merlin frowned and said: "In some of the information I found, it shows that in the beginning, this drug could only act on underage children, and its success rate of inducing mutations was only 30%, and only 3 out of 10 children survived, sometimes even less than 3.And even if the induction is successful, those children will lose their emotions and even their fertility. ”"Uh, is that cruel?"
Vivien stopped eating, and she said with some disgust, "It's just a matter of human life!"
”"Yes, in our opinion, this is very irresponsible."
Merlin nodded and said approvingly: "But the situation back then is something we can't understand, in short, although the birth of those warriors was accompanied by absolute pain, their appearance gave the Middle Ages, which was ravaged by demons, a glimmer of human civilization...
It was a war that was difficult for ordinary people to know about, and that legacy has continued to this day, and after humanity had the power to fight against monsters, even crushing, those inheritances withdrew from the stage of history. ”"And the formula in your hand is an improved product that has been researched and tested for thousands of years."
Merlin said: "This improved formula will allow adults to accept mutation induction, and will no longer forcibly cut off fertility, although it will still strip away emotions, but it will no longer turn the experimenter into an emotionless war machine like before...
On top of that, its success rate has been boosted to 50%. ”"That doesn't make sense."
Vivian, a genuine biologist, said disdainfully: "When it comes to human life, there is no difference between 1% and 99%. ”"That's what I thought, Vivien."
Merlin said, "That's why I need you and Dr.
Kotozawa to help me.Before I can put this potion into use, I have to make sure that it has a 100% success rate!
Or let's put it another way, and do our best to increase the success rate of the induction of this agent. ”"Sounds like a difficult job."
Vivien frowned, and she said, "It could take years, even decades, for it to have an effect.After all, we know almost nothing about this thing.We can't even understand how it strengthens the body. ”"Oh, I can explain this to you."
Merlin stretched out his finger and drew two interlaced rings on the table, and he said to Vivien, "The ring on the left represents humanity, and the ring on the right represents aliens. ”"The principle of mutation drugs is to use some extracts of different species to reshape the human body, which you can understand as a kind of forced enhancement, or transformation."
Merlin pointed to the part between the two rings, and he said to Vivien, "And the end result is a new creature that is compatible with the characteristics of both."
It retains the soul of a human being, but also has some alien abilities.And the specific effective principle of mutant agents...
Well, I think about it, in the simplest terms, it's...
Tearing apart the body's originally stable physiological system is like opening a door to blocked potential, allowing the body to be completely 'opened', and then using alien mutants to induce the human body to intensify and reshape. ”Merlin moved his fingers and said to Vivien, "It's like plasticine, you know?"
”"The original weak body is reshaped into an extraordinary body in this two-stage way.""

Tsk" Vivien let out a strange nasal voice, and she said, "It sounds like it hurts." ”"Yes, it hurts."
Although Merlin had never drunk mutation potions, he had heard from both Elsa and White Wolf about the pain of the mutation process, saying, "The lack of emotions in those experimenters is not entirely the result of physical remodeling...
A large part of it is lost in the fight against pain.Do you know what is the most cruel?
”"The kind of pain that is inflicted on the human body, tearing and healing, is not a one-time thing, nor can it be done in a few minutes."
Merlin shook his head, and he said gloomily, "It is said that the process will last a week, or even longer.Can you imagine what it's like to spend a week in that agony that is far beyond the limits of ordinary people?
”"That would leave indelible damage to a normal person's body and will."
Vivien pushed her glasses, and she said to Merlin seriously, "I regret that I promised you to help me now, this is a very inhumane research act, Merlin, it makes me feel full of guilt." ”"But that's why I'm asking you for help, Vivien."
Merlin picked up a cold french fry, and said to the biologist in front of him, "I could have distributed this mutant to the experimenters without going through you...
You should know that in today's society, as long as you have money, you can do anything.But I didn't do that, I didn't care about human life, and I sought your help in the hope that with your expertise, I could make sure that the defects of this potion were perfectly replenished. ”"I want it to be a harmless, or rather, an auxiliary material.""
But is it really necessary?
Merlin. ”Vivien hesitated a little, and she asked, "In this day and age, peace...""
Don't talk to me about peace, Miss Vivien."
Merlin shook his head, he looked out the window at the people coming and going in the night, those bright lights, he said: "Just 3 days ago, we just finished fighting a group of vampires, and there is still martial law on the Staten Island, there is a legendary vampire, well...
You can understand that a terrifying monster similar to a Titan has been awakened, and if no one stops it, within a week, the whole of New York will be turned into a dead city.We stopped it, and luckily no one died in this war. ”"But even when I send my most elite agents to the most marginal battlefields, there are inevitable losses in the battle.Many people will not be able to pick up a gun again in this life, and a few unlucky ones may have to rely on crutches for the rest of their lives. ”"I'm not telling you how great we are, I'm just trying to state one fact."
Merlin looked at Vivien and said, "Such secret wars, the bloodshed and sacrifices that you can't see when you enjoy peace, happen all the time.I'm not a god, I can't make the whole world peaceful in the next moment, I can only do my best to prevent bad things from happening. ”"Mutant potions are cruel things, but if my agents had taken it before they fought the vampires, they wouldn't have ended up with a disability, or even death...
Fighting a war is a soldier's duty and mission, and we will not evade this. ”"And what I want you and Dr.
Serizawa to do now is to put on the strongest armor and forge the sharpest weapons for these soldiers who maintain order, so that they can have a little more chance of protecting themselves against evil.""
Of course you can refuse, and my soldiers and I can go alone, but I hope that you will be by our side as we enter the next war."
Merlin said softly, "When I go back, talk to Dr.
Serizawa, and I think he should be able to understand what I mean." ”"What's more, if I'm not mistaken, the Imperial Organization also has an emergency response plan for the Titans, I mean, Vivien, in the moments of the ancient Titan riots you studied, do you want to fill the bottomless pit of war with the lives of ordinary soldiers, or do you hope that a group of super soldiers can stand up and stop the disaster at a critical moment?""
Look," Merlin said to Vivien with her hands outstretched, "and it's not just good for us, is it?"
