The Death Knell

In addition to research on the X gene, the United States has also conducted another important research on humanoid weapons in recent years.

In the Mayan ruins, the American scientific expedition team discovered a strange item, which was a crystal that seemed to come from an alien planet and could turn anyone who came into contact with it into stone.

The crystal was returned to the country, and the government immediately organized manpower to conduct research. More than ten years later, they finally discovered that there was a special substance in the stone that could react with human genes, thus prompting another weapons program that could interact with humans. Parallel secret projects.

Synth manufacturing plan.

They use this special crystal to mix chemical products and human tissue samples, plus large amounts of radiation.

After countless people's sacrifices and countless money spent, they succeeded.

Professor Phineas Horton and his team, conducting this experiment with secret funding directly from the White House, created a man.

Yes, manufacturing, from cover glass to petri dish, and then from petri dish to beaker and experimental chamber, this person grows like a piece of salt crystal, and finally becomes a human image.

He has normal human intelligence and normal physiological reactions, but he is not human.

Like rifles and grenades, it can be mass-produced in factories.

Unfortunately, this kind of black technology experiment often goes wrong. The product came into contact with the air at the moment it was formed, and then it turned into a human-shaped torch.

This weird flame can provide him with energy, allowing him to fly, burn and melt objects, and allow him to spit out red energy pillars.

But the flame was out of control, and the current laboratory, which cost countless people, was destroyed. The experimenters could only find ways to isolate the artificial man from contact with the air in order to maintain him in human form.

Uncontrolled weapons are not good weapons. This is the consensus of both the military and the political circles. In particular, Lao Luo of the White House was very dissatisfied. He terminated the laboratory's financial assistance.

So the doctor could only take the 'Human Torch', rent a warehouse in Brooklyn, and take him to exhibitions like a circus in exchange for some funds.

The doctor needs funds to improve his research, at least to find a way to improve the problem of artificial humans burning when exposed to oxygen. It took him more than 20 years to make the progress he has today. He devoted everything to scientific research, and artificial humans are his children. .

The doctor hopes that the artificial people can live normally like humans.

The artificial man has a very simple mind. He is ignorant and can only stand in a glass jar, motionless like a mannequin.

In fact, they also participated in this year's World Expo, and the Doctor even chose a good location. When anyone went to the Stark Industries booth, they would pass by them first.

However, their laboratory doesn’t even have a formal name, and the only exhibit is a ‘dummy’ in a glass jar. How can it compare to the lap dances and suspended sports cars over there?

Not to mention there are free tastings of instant noodles and stews.

Su Ming didn't pay attention to a 'dummy' at that time. There were too many such things at the exhibition.

Stark's theme at that time was "travel" in the future, and the theme of Wilson Enterprises' exhibition was "food" in the future. Naturally, there were many other companies with the theme of "clothing" in the future. There were a lot of clothes on display in the exhibition hall that day.

It was a circus, chaos everywhere.

Later, the doctor also demonstrated that he injected air into the glass jar, and then the synthetic man burned, but it was different from what he imagined, which caused people to panic.

People will not lament the magic of science, but pray to God.

Stark and Su Ming had already left at that time, and naturally they had no idea that demonstrations broke out around the exhibition after they left.

In the middle of the night, people held up slogans and torches that said God created man, and attacked the defense line formed by the military and police. They protested against the use of assembly lines to create monsters. This is unclean and evil, and God will not allow it.

In order to calm the situation, Lao Luo directly issued a secret presidential order, ordering the doctor to bury the synthetic man and let him disappear from the world.

The Doctor is devastated, but the President and the agents don't care what he thinks.

They stored the synth in a sealed metal container and buried it on a piece of government land in Brooklyn, pouring 200 tons of cement on top overnight.

It was safe now, the air and German spies could no longer reach him.

However, let alone Hydra, even various newspapers got the news. A few days later, the mustaches in Berlin saw the newspapers.

The secret is no longer a secret. After drinking three large glasses of whiskey, Lao Luo came up with a good idea.

That is to use this failed product as a smoke bomb to mislead the Germans' research direction and make them shift their attention from the X gene to heterogeneous synthetic humans.

As for the situation of synthetic humans, he, the President of the United States, knows best—the experiment failed.

But you can't say this when promoting it. Instead, the state machine is fully activated to promote the mystery of this synthetic human.

High technology, inhumane, and powerful in destructive power, is God's warning to mankind, the apocalypse and the end of the world. The United States will never allow such dangerous experiments to occur in the future.

Lao Luo knew in his heart that Mustache liked these things. The more dangerous he said, the more itchy the other party would be, and the Germans would take the bait.

Mustache’s reaction was similar to what he expected. Doomsday weapons and the like were his favorites.

So the Germans immediately accelerated another of their studies. They turned their attention to the mysterious race under the sea, and the Atlanteans, who could be called a superior race together with the Aryans.

After all, compared with the Aryans, they have already shown their special ability to live under the sea, right?

If synthetic humans loyal to the Third Reich could be synthesized from the materials of the undersea people, and humans were manufactured in factories like bullets, then Germany's future would be even better.

He sent destroyers to bomb some Atlantean cities with modified depth charges, and then fished out the dead Atlanteans on trawlers and sent them back to Germany for experiments.

This work is not the responsibility of Hydra, but is personally supervised by Mustache's crony Little Glasses. This matter is related to the future of the Aryans and must be kept strictly confidential, and the chicken farm owner knows how to do it.

.............................

Su Ming knew that the synthetics codenamed "Torchbearer" and "Thunderbolt" should be hidden somewhere in New York by the government, and he was the trigger.

But now that various miscellaneous organizations have emerged, he needs to take a closer look at the situation.

The intelligence obtained in comics and movies is less and less useful, and may even mislead his judgment. He must obtain intelligence and analyze it himself.

Especially Naito Soma's Tewakai, both comics and movies should be in a latent state during this period. What is the reason for them to appear in New York?

These madmen who worship the 'black sky' should have no interest in the serum. Is there a dragon bone buried under Manhattan? Or were they hired by someone?

However, like the League of Assassins, Deathstroke killed their people, and these brown candies will stick to Deathstroke in the future.

At the top of the Wilson Building, Su Ming sat quietly in the dark room. He looked out the window at the night. It was a moonless night.

The lights in the direction of Manhattan were still bright, but Nagadao had fallen into a deep sleep. Listening to the sound of waves crashing on the coast outside the window, he was waiting for the light of fire.

The reality was almost as he expected. Almost in the middle of the night, a huge explosion resounded in the sky of New York.

Then came fire and chaos.
