Chapter 397 What are the benefits of krypton gold (2)
"If you want to test the impact of magic on ordinary life, it is not a good idea to start with plants. Obviously, plants have longer growth cycles and less obvious changes..."
Looking at the eyes of several people, Connors said: "Okay, I know that animal experiments have certain dangers. Even a small thing like a lizard can be very lethal if its size is enlarged thousands of times.
You’ve already seen it.”
"I know very well that any experiment has a certain degree of danger." Stark shook his head and explained: "But you have to know that the danger of conducting such an experiment on Earth is really great."
"In order to conduct real-time observations, we can only choose to conduct preliminary experiments on the earth. If there are certain results, we may be able to move to aliens, so that there will be no worries."
"Let's take a look at this first." Connors stepped forward, took the small flowerpot, looked at the seedlings inside and said, "The sunflower seedlings... are a little different. They do seem to have been affected by some kind of radiation."
"Different? What's the difference? Why didn't I see any difference?" Stark squinted his eyes and looked closer. Connors said: "It just so happens that I have a master's degree in botany, and my master's thesis is about the study of pollen transmission.
of."
"Look here." Connors stretched out his hand and pointed at the roots of the sunflower seedling and said, "The fine hairs on the outside of the plant have become longer, and perhaps more dense. This change visible to the naked eye is already a very big change.
Already."
"Okay, I tried a lot, but it just made the fuzz on the surface a little longer?" Peter asked.
Connors shook his head, looked at Peter and said: "This is what I said, the changes in plants are more subtle. If you put it on a mouse, you can imagine that it has grown two centimeters long incisors."
"Although it is not particularly obvious just by looking at the front teeth, because it will affect eating, you can quickly find that there are obvious behavioral changes, which will be more intuitive."
"Okay, putting aside these principles, what are we going to do now?" Strange looked at Connors and asked.
"Peter and I stay and continue to experiment with magic plants. As for you, I just saw that the gem in your hand can speed up the growth of plants, but I advise you not to do so casually."
"You can't be sure whether the magical power it carries will radiate the plants accelerated by you. Once the plants mutate, the consequences will be much more serious than mutated animals."
Stark turned to stare at Strange and said: "You are not allowed to do this in New York, and neither is the Himalayas. You have to know how precious the earth is. This is our only home now."
"Okay, I'll come back when your experiments have preliminary results." After Strange finished speaking, he left without any hesitation. Stark looked at his back and shook his head, saying: "He doesn't
I will listen to you, this person doesn’t understand what experimental safety principles are.”
"It doesn't matter. Just because he doesn't know the correct radiation method, I think that even if he casts magic on some plants, he shouldn't be able to change their properties."
After leaving the laboratory, Stark and Schiller stood in front of the laboratory door. Stark turned to look at Schiller and asked him: "I have a question to ask you, but you must not reveal it."...
"I guess you want to ask how Steve is doing now?"
Stark tilted his head to one side, curled his lips and said, "The Avengers are also a force for mankind, and I don't want anything to happen to them. ()
Schiller sighed slightly and said: "I can only tell you that the situation is not optimistic. I have told you many times that Steve suffers from acute anxiety disorder. This is a disease with its corresponding symptoms.
And if left untreated, it will get worse."
"Then why not treat it?"
"Here's the problem. He himself is quite resistant to taking medicine. Even if I can convince him, I'm not sure whether the drugs that are more effective for ordinary people will be effective for him."
As Schiller and Stark walked forward, they said: "The changes that the serum made Steve not only made his body stronger, but also changed his immune system and absorption system.
, This means that he may not be able to absorb the ingredients of a certain drug, or that the dosage of an ordinary person may not work on him."
“Then wouldn’t it be enough to increase the dose?”
"You'd better not say that in front of Strange. No attending doctor can listen to this."
"Patients will always ask doctors to increase the dosage to suppress their pain, but this matter is not that simple."
"If it's an ordinary person, we have a very safe and reliable method to determine what dose of medicine will be effective. But facing a super human without any experimental data, it is absolutely impossible for me to increase the dose in violation of regulations.
Dosage, otherwise it will be irresponsible for his life safety."
Stark lowered his head, looked at Schiller from above his eyes and said: "I am now sure that you are not that madman."
"No, even if he comes, he will say this. Let me say it again, I am unscrupulous, but I am definitely not a quack."
"There are two methods now." Schiller stopped, looked at Stark and said: "Either continuous experiment, increase the dose bit by bit, and observe Steve's reaction, but using a large amount of drugs in a short period of time may
It will harm him physically and mentally."
"Another way is to change his current living environment so that he can rebuild his mental security, get enough rest, and fundamentally solve the problem of anxiety."
Just as Stark was about to speak, Schiller turned to look at him and said: "In this situation, Steve's decision may not be rational enough. Therefore, his relatives, friends or guardians need to provide him with more reliable advice."
suggestion."
"I guess your first reaction was to make a choice for him, so I can think..."
"Then more than 40 wedges are enough, right?"
Stark lowered his eyes in silence and turned his head away from Schiller. He said: "...you know what? Among the damn things your damn personality did, the moment when my mood fluctuated the most was not
When Steve fired."
"When was that?"
"When he said Howard, Bucky and you were all his friends, but I wasn't on the list."
Stark looked up at Schiller again and said, "Don't look at me with that look. Yes, when I recalled Howard's demeanor and expression when he mentioned the name Captain America, it made me think of Steve
My husband doesn’t like it very much.”…
"But when I really got in touch with him, I understood that no one should be ashamed of wanting to be friends with Captain America."
"If he didn't consider you a friend, he wouldn't have shot you."
"If he really regarded me as a friend, he wouldn't rather shoot me than turn around and ask me what I thought."
Schiller took a deep breath, looked into Stark's eyes and said: "You know, you two are particularly like elementary school girls who are at odds right now. You would rather tell the story between you from beginning to end with other people.
Countless times, I still refuse to say a word to the other person."
Seeing what Stark wanted to say, Schiller interrupted him very simply and said: "I don't have time to help you pass the message in the middle. Considering that you paid me so much money, everything you said today will be ignored by me."
I will keep it a secret for you and will never tell Steve."
Stark stared, and Schiller said before turning around: "I don't have time to get involved in your elementary school girls' friendship. I have more important things to do."
"Hey! What could be more important than the Avengers splitting up??!
"Looking at his back, Stark shouted.
"anything!"
The next day, Steve and Bucky were welcomed into Arkham Sanatorium. Schiller opened the medical records and briefly described his current situation to Steve. To Schiller's surprise, Steve
He actually planned to choose the first option, which was to increase the dosage of medicine.
He explained: "The Avengers cannot leave me for too long. The shadow of Hydra is still not far away. This is my lifelong mission and I must complete it."
"I used to resist taking medicine because I thought the situation was not serious yet, but recently I found that my condition is getting worse and worse."
Steve's state was indeed a bit haggard, even exhausted. He said: "I really don't know much about this subject. I thought it was just a small cold that would heal on its own, but now I can't be natural at all."
To fall asleep, you can only rely on Professor X’s hypnosis.”
"In order to deal with Hydra, many people even gave their lives. Compared with this, taking some medicine is nothing."
"I admire your spirit of sacrifice, captain." Schiller lowered his head and flipped through the medical records, then said, "Why don't you listen to what your friends have to say?"
Schiller looked up at Bucky, who was sitting far away, and said, "Why are you sitting so far away? Do you know? A bunch of psychiatrists with phobias should be chatting happily with demons in hell now."
Bucky shook his head, and Steve stretched out his hand and said, "Don't be like this. He is willing to come with me. He has mustered up a lot of courage. Your personality is really a bit..."
Bucky coughed twice, and then said: "I think the captain should choose the second option and change the environment."
"No." Steve said very firmly: "I have to stay here. There is still unfinished work, and where can we go?"
"My suggestion is also the second one. Captain, don't blame me for not warning you. I'm not sure whether your serum is immune to the effects of certain mental illness drugs. If you take a large amount of drugs in a short period of time, it may cause permanent mental damage.
.”
"Although it is good to deal with Hydra, we must also pay attention to sustainable development." Schiller flipped through the medical records again, and then said: "You also have to consider that Stark may not be so willing to see Bucky now, and if
He goes to a far away place alone, and it looks more like an exile. If you accompany him, it will be just a relaxing and enjoyable trip."...
After hearing what Schiller meant, Steve asked: "Do you want us to..."
"Yes, in the core star area of the Fairy Nebula, the planet where the high elves live is a vast primeval forest. The scenery is very beautiful. Many members of the Brotherhood of Mutants have traveled there."
"Because they have highly modified their home planet, the temperature and weather are very pleasant, and there are no dangerous creatures. It is very suitable for vacation."
Steve wanted to retort, but he glanced at Bucky, then thought about Stark, and finally spread his hands and said: "Okay, I know, Stark and Bucky must be separated, the solar system construction plan
It was ongoing and there was no way Stark could leave, so we were the only ones left."
"Due to the confidentiality agreement, I cannot tell you that Stark is very sad because you did not include him in your list of friends before."
"I can't tell you. In fact, he really wants you to call him now and comfort him."
"I can't even tell you that if you mentioned briefly what Howard once told you about his expectations for his son when you were on the phone, he would be very moved and happy."
After Steve walked out with his cell phone, Schiller called Connors again to confirm that Peter was also immersed in experiments in the laboratory, and then called Charles to confirm that he had gone to the Andromeda galaxy to build an air island. Finally,
, his phone call was to Rocky.
"I have eliminated all those whose moral bottom lines have not been tested, and our plan can begin."
