Chapter 467 The two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty are carried on my shoulders
Back to New York.
Bai Ye took a trip to Saturn.
In the laboratory of Saturnian biology.
Bai Ye's eyes quickly swept across the precision instruments and busy scientific researchers, and asked Seve:
"Has there been any progress in research on the integration of Extremis virus, steel armor, and nanotechnology?"
From the beginning, Bai Ye knew that the Extremis virus, steel armor, and nanotechnology could not only be studied in isolation, but could be merged and worked hand in hand until Tony could develop the blood-edge armor that could compete with Thanos. Well, Tony wears the armor that snaps his fingers into, the Blood Edge Armor.
The armor Bai Ye is using now is pretty good. It is dozens of times stronger than the Mark 1, but compared with the Blood Edge armor, the gap is definitely still quite big.
"Thanks to the batch of vibranium you brought back from Yashida Industries before." Seve smiled: "This strange material is really a treasure. There are too many application scenarios, also because of vibranium, the terminal virus and steel The research on the integration of armor and nanotechnology has just begun to give us some clues.”
When Byakuya was in Japan, he pulled Mariko Yashida and killed his grandfather Ichiro Yashida. Almost all of the vibranium acquired by Yashida Industries was brought back to New York by Byakuya, and most of it was placed in Saturn Biotechnology. Let the scientists from Saturn's biology conduct research on the blood-edged armor he wants.
Seve probed: "Do you still have channels to acquire more vibranium? If so, the research on the blood-edge armor you planned will still be accelerated! As for money, it is not a problem. The current cash flow of Saturn Biology is It’s extremely abundant, at least 50 billion US dollars.”
With the help of many biological black technologies such as the desperate virus obtained by Bai Ye, Saturn Biology is really making too much money. Funds are flowing into Saturn Biology like running water. Even though there are still many scientific research tasks, Even if you are consuming funds, you cannot keep up with the rate of making money.
For example, Apple has a cash reserve of more than 300 billion US dollars. It is so profitable that it doesn’t even know how to spend the money.
"It's not that I don't want to give you vibranium, but this thing has a price but no market." Bai Ye shook his head helplessly, paused, and continued: "But don't worry too much...it will take a while. Well, after a while, our entire group should have sufficient vibranium quota. "
Bai Ye also didn't know where that old man Magneto had gone, and why he still hadn't replied to him yet, so that we could work together to liberate Wakanda, obtain vibranium, and promote global scientific and technological progress.
"Mard! As my son-in-law, do I have no standing in front of you?" Bai Ye muttered to himself: "Old father-in-law, you don't know how to cherish me. That old man Odin tried every means to recruit me as his son-in-law, but I didn't even do it. I promise, why are you pushing me out when you are here?"
"Alas!" Sever shrugged and said, "Then there's nothing you can do. Anyway, the Saturnian creatures are yours too. The armor is developed and used to assemble your Osborne action team. If you don't take care of it yourself, you can't. It’s my fault.”
"Don't tempt me. I'm not lying to you. I'll give you vibranium after a while."
Bai Ye touched his chin and was thinking about whether he should contact Mystique again to urge her. Vibranium is too important. If you can't stand the speed of technological development, then add a little vibranium to the experiment. , the scientific research project took off directly as if it was equipped with rocket thrusters.
Materials are the forerunner and cornerstone of all scientific and technological progress.
"By the way, there is one more thing that maybe you need to pay attention to." Seve thought for a while and said.
"What?"
Sever said: "Recently, Worthington Biotechnology released news that they seem to have developed a drug that can reverse the genetic changes of mutants."
"So fast?"
Bai Ye was stunned for a moment.
Of course he knew about this Worthington creature, the property of the mutant Angel family, because his son had become a mutant, and his old father, Warren Kenneth Worthington II, tried his best to make his son return to normal. Humans, so they worked hard to develop drugs that could reverse the genetic changes of mutants. At first, there was little progress, until the American government found a special mutant-leeches.
Leech's mutant ability is the ability to eliminate mutants.
Worthington Biotech collaborated with the U.S. government and experimented with leeches, eventually producing a drug that erased genetic changes in mutants.
However, the efficacy of this medicine is also questionable. It seems that the ability to erase is not absolute. At least after Magneto became an ordinary person for a period of time, his abilities gradually recovered, and he could follow the Sentinel robot to kill everyone.
"Do you know the inside story?"
Seve looked at Bai Ye in surprise.
"Know something."
Bai Ye nodded and told Seve about the leeches.
"No wonder, let me tell you, a mere Worthington creature can independently develop this kind of drug?" Sever shook his head.
Worthington Biotech is also a listed company with a market value of approximately US$60 billion, but compared with Osborne and Saturn Biotech, it is a world of difference.
Sever said: "But now we have to pay more attention to Worthington Biotechnology. With the success of this drug, their market value has skyrocketed and has reached a scale of hundreds of billions of dollars. It should not be underestimated."
The two largest biological companies on the market now are Osborne Group and Saturn Bio. Baiye, the Saturn Bio founded by Mr. Osborne, has even outdone its predecessors. Saturn Bio is valued at US$300 billion, and Osborne Bio is valued at US$300 billion. The market capitalization of our group is only US$290 billion. As a leading pharmaceutical company in the market, of course we have to keep an eye on our competitors. After all, the world is such a big place. There is more forest and less porridge. If you take one more bite, I will take one less bite. - Modern Times The root of the war is the competition for the market.
"Haha!" Bai Ye smiled softly: "They'd better withstand the attack of mutants first before talking."
Relative to the urgency given to Osborn by the Worthington creature, this news is the real bombshell for the mutants.
Whether it is the Brotherhood of Mutants or Xavier Academy, they will go to trouble the Worthington creatures. If they can survive it, they may be able to achieve something. If they cannot survive it, they will be GG directly.
Speaking of which, once this incident comes out, Magneto, no matter how good-tempered he is, may not be able to bear it anymore. Maybe not long after, he and Magneto will be able to meet in New York to discuss Wakanda and vibranium. .
"That's right!" Seve thought quickly and figured it out: "But if this matter gets serious... New York won't be safe either!"
Mutants are not just helpless college students. If they really gather in New York and cause trouble, the American government may not be able to suppress them.
Especially people like Magneto and Professor X, whose destructive power is incredible. After New York becomes a battlefield, who can guarantee their safety?
"What are you afraid of!" Bai Ye said with a smile: "The four oceans and seven continents on this earth are all carried on the shoulders of Black Superman, there won't be any big trouble!"
Even Mr. Xiaoge can say: The two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty were carried on my shoulders.
With his current combat power, this isn't too much to say, right?
Even Bai Ye was a little confused. He had already warned Ororo before, but did Xavier Academy's response to leeches still fail to prevent the release of the mutant-suppressing potion?
…
Worthington Building.
Located in midtown Manhattan, the glass curtain wall shines in the sunlight, like a bright pearl embedded in the steel forest.
In the conference room.
"Chairman." A middle-aged manager stood up. He was wearing a neat suit with a confident smile on his face. He held a thick piece of information in his hand and presented it to Warren, the actual controller of Worthington Biology. Worthington made a report: "In our cooperation with the military, after several months of hard work, the first batch of mutant-inhibiting agents has been produced. This batch of agents was produced in strict accordance with the military's requirements and technical standards. Through multiple rigorous tests and verifications, its effectiveness has been fully proven.”
Warren Worthington, sitting at the head of the conference table, was high-spirited, nodded slightly, and then said: "Very good! The mutant inhibitory agent will be a major milestone in the history of our company!"
"I believe that this batch of drugs will play an important role in maintaining world peace and stability. At the same time, this is also an important step for our company to explore the future biotechnology field."
In the conference room, everyone was filled with smiles, because the stock price of the mutant-inhibiting drug Worthington Biotech had skyrocketed, and everyone here was benefiting. They saw that a more brilliant future was beckoning to them: maybe Worthington Biotech could take advantage of it. With this east wind, will it surpass Osborne Group and become the king in the field of biotechnology?
The atmosphere became increasingly frenzied.
Even Warren Worthington.
At first, he was desperately researching drugs to reverse the genetic changes of mutants, indeed for the sake of his son Angel, but now, it is obvious that it is not that simple.
The only purpose of capital is to add value.
In the middle of the meeting, Warren Worthington's personal secretary walked into the office and whispered something in his ear.
Warren Worthington's expression changed, he suspended the meeting and returned to his office.
In the office, Warren Worthington met his long-lost son Angel, Warren Worthington Jr.
"Haha, little Warren, you haven't been home for a long time, why are you suddenly free to see me?" When Warren Worthington saw his son, he walked over very enthusiastically and gave the angel a big hug.
"Father!" Angel explained: "The main reason is that the studies at Xavier College have increased a lot recently...and I don't want to cause you any trouble."
"You are my son! No need for trouble! Nonsense!" Warren Worthington smiled and tidied up Angel's clothes: "You came back just in time. I have already developed a medicine to cure your disease. "You and I will go to the company's laboratory later. From now on, you can live a normal life."
The mutant-inhibiting drug had just been successfully developed, and Warren Worthington didn't even ask Angel to go home and inject it because it hadn't gone through rigorous experiments. What if the drug had serious side effects?
Until now, after enough experiments, Warren Worthington can safely let his son get the injection.
"Father!" The angel's face became serious, and he said seriously: "This time I came back, first of all, because I miss you. I want to see you in person and tell you that everything is fine with me. But other than that Besides, there is another important thing that I must talk to you about.”
The angel paused and considered: "It's about the mutant inhibitory drug. I don't think that my becoming a mutant is due to a disease! This is my innate true appearance and a part of my life. Rather than being a flaw that needs to be healed or hidden. I believe that everyone has their own unique value and meaning and we should not be ashamed or afraid of being different.”
"I don't need those inhibitory drugs to change me, I just need your understanding and acceptance."
Warren Worthington looked at his son blankly for a long time, then grinned, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said: "You have really grown up. You have learned to discuss this kind of thing with your father. Remember at night. When you go home for dinner, I will make soup for you."
"Father! I'm not joking with you!" the angel said urgently: "There is no need for mutant inhibitory potions, and the complexity of this matter is beyond your imagination. If you persist, you will encounter dangers. …At least Magneto, a mutant supremacist, will never let you go!”
"The Nazis were also very dangerous in the past, but we can't stop doing things just because of the danger! America has the ability to solve all troubles!" Warren Worthington looked very cold and said: "Listen Warren, I really don't want to do anything. It’s time to send you to Xavier Academy, you have been brainwashed by mutants! It is dangerous to be a lone traveler who is separated from the entire human society! The number of mutants is too small and they are destined to become victims of politics! Warren, believe me, in this world! Anyone can hurt you, but I won’t, because I am your father!”
It is impossible for capital to stop appreciating because of danger: If a person owns tens of billions, and then he forcibly stops the appreciation of capital, and does not make money but only spends money, then he will definitely become a person with nothing, and his money will leave him , because if a person wants to forcibly stop capital appreciation, then the people with interests will kick him out of the interest group. Without the power of capital, a person who simply owns money... is just a piece of fat that can walk.
Angel wants to trick Warren Worthington into stopping the production of mutant suppressant potions with just a few words. This is purely a young man's wonderful imagination.
…
I walked around the Saturn creature and showed my presence as a boss.
Bai Ye took Seve and went to have dinner together.
They are both frugal people, and they didn’t eat anything particularly expensive. They just ate some geoduck, abalone and other seafood. Spending the night with the beauty, they were happy with everything they ate. If Seve said it...she should be very happy too, because Her palace is perfect.
