The Traverser of Marvel World

Aldridge Killian, who has been changed for a long time, although he was really surprised by someone's prophetic ability, he quickly returned to normal.

"After years of sidestepping the president's 'immoral biological research' ban, my brain trust has created a humble gadget."

"We call this idea 'Desperate.'"

Aldridge Killian took out a small silver cuboid device from his body, and said:

"Sorry, the environment here doesn't seem to be suitable, I need a dark environment."

"It's okay, it's easy to handle." Liu Ruian, who knew exactly what the other party was going to demonstrate, clapped his hands.

The next moment, the originally sunny terrace darkened under Aldridge Killian's shocked eyes.

Before this guy could understand what kind of technology this is, he heard Liu Ruian smile:

"Is this environment okay?"

"certainly."

Aldridge Killian, who took another look at Umbrella Technology in his heart, took a small earplug-like device from the silver cuboid device just now and placed it behind his left ear.

Then he took out three silver "marbles" and threw them gently on the table, while continuing to explain:

"This idea has something to do with the human brain."

Constrained by a certain force field, the three marbles quickly formed an equilateral triangle on the table.

The light from the three marbles quickly projected a gorgeous image above the two of them.

"Wait a moment, this is the universe, I made a mistake." said Aldridge Killian, who pretended that the mistake was intentional: "But I just need this..."

As he spoke, he pressed the remote control he was holding in his hand.

The next moment, what was originally the projection of the cosmic star map immediately changed into the image of the human brain, or to be more precise, the brain of Aldridge Killian.

"That's the brain, but they're remarkably similar, aren't they?"

Looking at the scene in front of Aldridge Killian, even if it wasn't the first time he saw it, he was still a little excited.

"Nice idea."

Leaning on the back of the chair and looking at the other party's brain map, Liu Ruian praised it, but at the same time communicated with the Protoss and asked the other party to record and analyze the image.

"Thank you, this is my brain." Aldridge Killian, with a hint of show in his eyes, said.

"I see." Liu Ruian, who had no surprise or surprise on his face, nodded and said.

Aldridge Killian, who originally thought his research results would attract enough attention, was inevitably disappointed by someone's response.

However, the "true" Manchurian quickly packed up his emotions, clicked on the small device behind his left ear, and continued to explain:

"You're in my head right now, or rather, this is a live broadcast."

"Are you sure?" Liu Ruian, who was really curious about this project, asked.

"certainly."

Aldridge Killian pinched his arm as he spoke. At almost the same moment, in the projected blue image,

A part of the orange-red lines flashed instantly.

"This is the primary somatosensory cortex, the pain receptor area of ​​the brain."

"However, this is what I want to show you."

Aldridge Killian stretched out his hand and gently tugged in the projection of his brain as he spoke, and the star-like image was quickly zoomed in and enlarged a lot.

"The Extremis now fully exploits and controls the neurological potential of the creature, and then sends the signal to...here."

As the zoomed-in and enlarged images stopped, a strange image appeared in the sight of the two of them.

"It's essentially an empty mess, and that tells us..."

Before Aldridge Killian could finish his words, Liu Ruian, who was sitting beside him, suddenly said:

"Tell us that our brains, all of our DNA, are meant to be upgraded, right?"

Aldridge Killian, who was robbed of his lines, couldn't help but hesitate, nodded instinctively and said:

"You're right, that's it."

It's a pity that Liu Ruian, who has never had a good impression of men, did not stop there, but continued to say with a smile:

"So, your 'extreme situation' can invade the body of any organic organism to a certain extent, and can re-encode DNA, right?"

"you……"

Aldridge Killian, who didn't believe that the other party discovered the use of "Desperate" just by watching his own demo, wanted to ask the other party how he knew it.

But when I think of the title of "prophet", I can't hide the shock in my heart.

"It is indeed a very good project, but it sounds to me that this project should belong to the kind of technology that can be highly weaponized." Liu Ruian, who was very satisfied with the other party's reaction, said.

"Yes, sir, but 'Desperate' still has broad prospects." Aldridge Killian, who had lost his confidence when he arrived, said.

Very satisfied that such a genius was poured cold water by himself with a few words, Liu Ruian nodded and said:

"I agree with this point. Then, Dr. Killian, what is the purpose of your initiative to come to the door this time?"

In fact, the purpose of Aldridge Killian is very simple. In addition to the huge funds that Umbrella Technology can provide, the more important thing is to take a fancy to the biological research foundation owned by Umbrella Technology.

It's not surprising to think about it. This AIM research team can only do research in places like basements. Even if the funds can be supported by certain forces, the research equipment is often not available with money. land.

Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that because of the recent popularity of Umbrella Technology Company, there is an intermediary instructing Aldridge Killian to appear.

"One billion dollars? And it's just the first step of capital investment?" Liu Ruian asked in the face of this seemingly excessive requirement.

"Yes, sir, please believe that these investments are worth it." Aldridge Killian nodded.

"Dr. Killian, I can't help you with the money." Liu Ruian, who was silent for a moment, shook his head and said.

"Why, sir, can't you see the value of 'Desperate'?" Aldridge Killian, who seemed calm on the surface, asked.

Liu Rui'an, who was sitting in Duozhai, felt the other person's body temperature has risen significantly at the first time. He didn't know that the "true" Manchurian was a little excited.

"No no no, Dr. Killian, you misunderstood what I meant." Liu Ruian shook his index finger and said, "I just said that I can't help you with money, but it's not that I don't want to invest in this project."

If someone else said that, Aldridge Killian would definitely look good on the other party, but after seeing the ability of someone's "prophet", and the look that doesn't seem to be playing with himself, he can only ask:

"Then what do you mean?"

Faced with this question, Liu Ruian did not answer, but stood up and said:

"Dr. Killian, please come with me."

A few minutes later, a suspicious Aldridge Killian followed someone in a safety elevator to a secret warehouse.

After the door of the warehouse was opened, Aldridge Killian, who was blinded by the golden light that rushed toward him, was a little dazed.

Walking into this large warehouse, he picked up a gold brick engraved with the words 9999 and 10KG, and Liu Ruian said with a smile:

"Dr. Killian, please understand that although 'Desperate' is a good project, it can easily lead to huge trouble."

"And I'm the most afraid of trouble, so it's not enough to give you money directly from the financial side. That's all I can give."

To be honest, with the support of certain forces, AIM is not short of money, but after seeing the gold bricks in this warehouse, the whole person could not help but be dumbfounded.

No way, it's not that Aldridge Killian's mental capacity is too small, it's just that there are too many gold bricks in this warehouse.

Just kidding, the official gold reserves of the entire United States are only more than 8,000 tons.

Even if the gold of all countries in the world is added together, it is only 15,000 tons.

Aldridge Killian's estimate of the total amount of gold in this treasury, even if it did not exceed this number, would not be much worse.

Aldridge Killian is no stranger to such things as private gold reserves.

After all, although the price of gold is also affected by market fluctuations, it is still hard currency for human civilization on the gold standard.

But the warehouse in front of me is at least tens of thousands of tons of gold reserves, and it really has nothing to do with private gold reserves.

"Mr. Liu, do you mean that these are your investments?" asked Aldridge Killian, who pointed to the huge block made of gold bricks in front of him and tried to calm down.

"No, no, I will only give you fifty tons for the first investment, and I will continue to invest when there is a return." Liu Ruian, who threw the gold bricks in his hand, shook his head and said.

"Fifty tons?" He quickly took the gold bricks from Aldridge Killian, and immediately converted the fifty tons of gold into cash.

Even if the current gold price fluctuates a little bit, and such a large amount of gold wants to sell all of it in a short period of time, it will definitely suffer.

But even at a low price of one thousand dollars per ounce, the fifty tons of gold can bring him nearly two billion dollars in funds.

Faced with this unexpected investment amount, Aldridge Killian was surprised at first, but then he had some bad thoughts.

There is no way, for a "successful person" who is ready to rule the United States, the funds of 2 billion are far less valuable than the gold in the current treasury, and even more valuable than the Umbrella Technology Company.

But when he met Liu Ruian's half-smiling, very playful eyes, Aldridge Killian didn't know why a creepy feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
