Chapter 139

In a dry valley in the uninhabited Colorado Grand Canyon, Colorado, there is an underground base subordinate to the military.

James, Vice Minister of the Ministry of foreign affairs, is standing side by side in an old elevator with lieutenant general Ross, the person in charge of the base.

General Ross suddenly said, "I heard that something happened in New York some time ago?"

"Although you have been at the base, the news is still very well informed." James smiled. "Yes, William, that old guy has made a little storm in New York."

"Little storm? New York Mayor Philip shot himself and 30% of the officials in the New York government were quarantined. I'm afraid William can't explain this? "

General Ross reached out, pressed the elevator to pause, turned and stared at James, "I know the Ministry of China has been promoting the dissolution of NIA. Do you think this is an opportunity?"

James shook his head: "if NIA doesn't do anything this time, or it's just a small fight, then the weakening and dissolution of NIA is inevitable. But when William makes such a big noise, things are very difficult. "

General Ross frowned, "why?"

"It's simple. The White House and Congress are scared." James sighed, "you and I are soldiers. It's our style to be strong in case of strength. But those high-ranking politicians have a completely different way of thinking from us. They like to exchange the minimum price for the maximum benefit. Once the possible benefits are more involved, or the cost of comeback exceeds their bottom line, they will immediately take the initiative to shrink back. "

"Pulling the tiger skin, pulling the flag, boasting more and doing less is their style." James shrugged. "The great men of the East once described them as' paper tigers', which means that they look scary. In fact, they can pierce the camouflage paper with a bold hand."

"I don't understand. It's really troublesome." General Ross took off his hat, scratched his forehead and whispered, "just say it clearly. When will the president and Congress attack NIA?"

"It's impossible for Robert to be president." James shook his head and said, "William has shown by his practical actions that although the lion is old, his teeth are still sharp; Older foxes are more cunning; The old wolf in his twilight years is the most difficult to deal with. "

"I can bet with you that the White House and Congress will summon William several more times about New York, but in the end, they will put it down gently. Big things will become big and small things will become small. They don't dare to fight big."

"I never gamble. I only recognize strength." General Ross patted James on the shoulder: "I thought there would be another department under your name. I didn't expect it to be empty."

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, my wife is the deputy director of NIA. In the words of my lovely nephew, no matter how the fat water turns, it doesn't flow into the field of outsiders. "

James laughed meanly.

"God, I didn't expect you to show love like this. Damn it, if you weren't older than me, I would break your nose."

James shook his head and returned the elevator to normal.

After the elevator landed at the lowest floor, they walked out of the elevator and a bright corridor full of sense of science and technology appeared in front of them.

A young white man in a white coat stepped forward: "Deputy Secretary James, general Ross."

"Dr. Bruce Banner." James smiled, shook hands with the man, turned to Ross and asked, "where's your beautiful daughter? Isn't she an assistant to the doctor? How did you break up the couple? "

"Betty has something to do today. She asked for leave." General Ross said coldly, "James, mind your mouth. Sometimes I really regret how to know your bad friend."

Banner, who will be green all over, is still a researcher under general Ross. Seeing that the future father-in-law was unhappy, he quickly changed the topic: "Deputy Secretary James, everything is ready, you see?"

"Lead the way, Dr. Benner."

Under Banner's guidance, the group crossed the corridor and finally stood in front of a one-way explosion-proof glass, which was a ward filled with various instruments.

"General Ross found it very important at base 116. We extracted the serum from those deformed people, fused it with the strengthening agent we developed before, and produced the V Ⅲ agent."

In front of the glass window, Dr. banner talked.

"However, this agent alone still cannot be used normally. It must be in a nuclear radiation environment to react to the experimental object, and it is extremely unstable."

"Although we have long known that the radiation generated after the explosion of nuclear weapons will have an impact on the human body. However, we did not expect that this impact might be positive. Now we are analyzing the radiation and striving for the shunt. What kind of radiation light has a positive impact on cells. "

"Vice minister and general, in front of you two, it is No. 328. It is also the only experimental object without adverse reactions. I call it a 'tough man'!"

Under Banner's guidance, James was as heavy as water, looking at the experimental body with tubes all over the ward, stunned. Looking at James, no one dared to speak.

After a long time, James sighed and said to banner, "since there is no adverse reaction, can I talk to him?"

Banner's face appeared embarrassed: "deputy minister, although the human reaction of 328 experimental body is normal, he has been in a state of anesthesia and sleep, and has never awakened him..."

James waved his hand: "doctor, you just need to answer, OK or no, you can."

Banner swallowed his saliva and didn't answer. He just looked sideways at general Ross. Ross coughed a few times and said in a deep voice, "James, I understand your mood, but these things can't be mixed with your personal feelings."

"I'm sorry, doctor, I lost my temper." James sighed and said to banner, "please do your best. I sent him with last hope. Now hope is in front of me. I'm a little out of control. "

Dr. banner said with a smile, "please rest assured, deputy secretary James. I will inform you as soon as 328 wakes up."

"Please, doctor!"

James looked deeply into the window again, then turned around and walked with general Ross to another glass window.

"Subject 329 was sent with 328. When he first arrived at the laboratory, his whole body was seriously damaged, there were few signs of life, and he had lost the value of injection. Therefore, we have repaired and replaced its bones and internal organs. At present, the body has been basically repaired. The next step is to try to implant an electronic nervous system into the brain. "

Listening to Dr. Banner's instructions, James nodded, turned back to general Ross and asked, "what's the stage of Saber's Skynet project?"

"The progress of mecha is fairly smooth, and the difficulty lies in system programming." General Ross shrugged. "The chip found at the scene was badly damaged. Now the waste of saber company has not even led out the most basic data from the chip."

James snorted and said coldly, "if I were in charge of this, then important items would never flow into the hands of those arms companies."

(PS: saber company, the poor company in the film Terminator 2 that created Skynet in the future and was burned down by its own employees.)
