Chapter 409 X-Gene Awakening Instrument

“Knock knock…”

In the lounge, Xu Yuegang put away the permanent properties in his hands, and several dull knocks on the door directly broke the silence in the room.

He glanced sideways at the slightly trembling door of the room. At this time, Wen Ray was still going back and forth in the scarlet whirlpool. He first gave it a look that continued to work hard, and then left three pieces of green quality on the desk next to him. of gems.

Then he waved his hand and put all the items on the floor into the storage space, and walked straight towards the door.

Soon the door opened, and what he saw was Storm with a smile on her face.

"Xinhuo, Hank is here and is currently in the underground base. The professor asked me to inform you to come there."

"Well, let's go."

Nodding in response, Xu Yue didn't ask any more questions, but directly closed the door and strode out. Compared to Storm, he knew Hank's purpose here better.

A few minutes later, Xu Yue took the elevator from the third floor of the castle to the underground base. As for Storm, she parted ways with him when she reached the first floor. It was now morning, and the course professors in the college could leave it alone for the time being, but She can't.

And there are some things that her character is not suitable for knowing too much about.

underground base.

"Ding!"

Accompanied by a crisp beep, the door of the base laboratory was slowly opened. The first thing that came into view was the spacious silver room, as well as many unknown scientific instruments inside.

In the center of the room, a huge streamlined metal instrument stood here. To the side, Magneto and Hank were facing the instrument and discussing something intensely. From time to time, the two would dismantle the instrument. Some parts.

Although one of them is a senior official affiliated with the government's Ministry of National Defense and the other is a terrorist wanted by the federal government, they are getting along extremely harmoniously at the moment. Regardless of each other's camps, the two of them can be regarded as young people. Made old friends.

The heated discussion went on for a moment, and the only person in the room who noticed the opening of the laboratory door was probably the professor who was quietly watching the show.

"Is this the instrument that can forcibly awaken humans into mutants?"

Walking to the professor's side in twos and twos, Xu Yue looked up and down at the rather simple-looking metal instrument in front of him. As he spoke, specific information about the instrument slowly unfolded in front of his eyes.

【X Gene Awakening Instrument】

Quality: light gold

Type: technological creation

Effect: Through special magnetic field radiation, this instrument can directly act on the target gene level and forcibly stimulate the X gene in the target body to complete its awakening.

Tip 1: This instrument only works on organisms with X genes in their bodies.

Tip 2: Gene activation will cause irreversible effects and damage to the body. People with weak constitutions are very likely to induce physical gene collapse.

Rating: 280 (Note: Light gold items are rated from 260 to 310.)

Introduction: Want to take a gamble? Maybe you are the next Magneto! Of course, the greater possibility is that you will directly become a piece of rotten meat with genetic collapse.

Price: Not owned item, cannot be sold.

…………

On the other side, noticing Xu Yue's enthusiastic gaze as he looked at the instrument, the professor beside him slowly shook his head and said:

"It is an awakening instrument, but it has many flaws. Although it can forcibly stimulate humans to awaken the X gene, this too rough method will also cause irreversible damage to the already delicate and fragile genes, causing the target to eventually die from genetic collapse."

After lightly commenting on the shortcomings of the X-gene awakening instrument, the professor finally concluded:

"Before the defects of genetic collapse are solved, using this thing rashly is no different from committing suicide."

The professor's voice was not deliberately lowered, which naturally attracted the attention of the other two people present, and the discussion not far away paused.

Magneto turned to look at the professor who had finished speaking. He raised his hand to rub the metal outer wall of the awakening device and retorted:

"Suicide? No, this thing gives humans a second chance to choose their destiny, and if you want to gain a new life, the price you pay must be high, even if the final price is death!"

"The mortality rate of the first version of the The survival rate is still guaranteed.”

"9.8%?!"

Hearing this shocking number, Hank's face suddenly darkened. Being able to get such accurate survival rate data means that Magneto has definitely gone through a lot of human experiments, so the humans who died under this cold instrument At least hundreds of them.

Thinking of this, Hank suddenly looked sideways at Magneto beside him, his eyes filled with real anger.

"Eric, how many people have you sacrificed with this immature instrument?"

Listening to Hank's questioning tone, Magneto frowned slightly at first, and then slowly raised the corners of his mouth in a mocking arc.

"Sacrifice? Ha~"

"I think you must have misunderstood something. The number of people who died because of this instrument is indeed no less than a thousand, but I have never forced any existence. On the contrary, each of them is voluntary, even Scrambling.”

Looking into each other's eyes, Magneto could see the deep suspicion in Hank's eyes, but he didn't care and continued:

"The human species is not only cruel to us mutants, but also ruthless and even colder to their own fellow human beings."

"Exploitation, bullying, violence, war, racial discrimination, class conflicts, conflicts of interest..."

"Too many factors have created countless homeless people wandering at the bottom of society. Let's not talk about those war-torn areas. In this country alone, you may lose everything forever just because of an unexpected disaster. Your job, family, and even dignity will be completely plundered by society, and there will be no hope of getting up again."

"And the only thing that can allow them to regain everything instead of lingering on like a maggot is power!"

"This instrument can give them the power to regain everything!"

"Even if the cost is less than 10% survival rate, there are still many guys who are in despair who are eager for it, so..."

Looking directly at the eyes that quietly turned from anger to confusion, Magneto's cold tone gradually calmed down.

"So I don't need to force anyone. I just need to reveal this opportunity to change my fate, and countless test subjects who are full of resentment and despair towards human society will flock here. Do you understand, Minister Hank?"

"In the Brotherhood headquarters overseas, a small half of the Brotherhood members are such transformers."

The words of both defense and attack successfully made Hank, who was originally full of anger, speechless.

After that, he no longer paid attention to Hank with a complicated expression, but turned to look at Xu Yue, who was always calm not far away.

"So you asked me to bring this instrument from Kiyo Island to the academy as soon as possible. What is the purpose? To mass-produce mutant armies?"

Faced with Magneto's question, Xu Yue slowly shook his head.

"Making an army is one of the reasons, but this is not the point. Mutants need a completely new way to be born."

"If a race wants to be truly independent, then first of all, its continuation path cannot be just the completely uncontrollable random awakening. We need another completely stable way to increase members, and then match it with an antidote that can eliminate the identity of mutants."

"With the combination of the two, we can continue to absorb high-quality talents and eliminate those malignant impurities that are not conducive to the development of the race or do not recognize their own race. Only then can mutants build a solid foundation for racial independence and stable development."

The prospect described by Xu Yue is very tempting. If this can be achieved, then humans will completely become the nutrients for the development of mutants, allowing them to absorb beneficial nutrients and eliminate inferior residues.

In the long run, mutants will truly become a higher race than humans.

However, no matter how beautiful the prospect is, it is always just empty talk if it cannot be realized. At least Magneto's reaction after hearing it was just a slight movement of his eyes, but Hank on the side didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes looking at the instrument suddenly changed.

"The prospect is bright, but the awakening device cannot support this future. The poor survival rate limits the possibility of mass transformation. The 9.8% survival rate is only for those warriors with strong physique and strong will. If the target is changed to scholars or politicians, the survival rate may not even reach 1%."

"It may not work with the Brotherhood alone, but it is possible with the addition of others. Hank, can this device be improved again?"
