Chapter 409: Experiment Success and Thoughts
After the examination, although the others were not recognized by Colonel Phillips and Dr. Erkins, these excellent GIs were not wasted, and all of them officially joined the Scientific Strategy Corps.
When Colonel Phillips announced that everyone had been allowed to go out, all the GIs present cheered, and they happily went to the bustling city of New York that day, except for Li Nan and Rogers, who had been ordered, to remain in the barracks.
Colonel Phillips had already told the two of them the purpose of this experiment, so Li Nan, who didn't want to participate in this experiment at all, was sitting comfortably on the bed reading a book at the moment.
Rogers, who was pacing back and forth in the barracks, suddenly came to Li Nan and said seriously: "Li Nan, you are the best of all, so I plan to take the initiative to quit." ”
Li Nan put down the book, looked at Rogers and smiled and asked, "Why do you think I want to participate in this experiment?" ”
"Huh?"
Rogers, who was bent on becoming stronger, was a little confused, obviously he didn't understand Li Nan's thoughts, in his heart to be able to become a powerful super soldier, this should be something that every soldier dreams of.
Seeing the look of doubt in Rogers' eyes, Li Nan explained: "I only came to join the army because it is the duty of American citizens, plus the Germans should really fight, but I don't plan to participate in this experiment with unknown danger, so what you just said is exactly what I want to say to you." ”
"You want to quit voluntarily?" Rogers asked, surprised.
"Of course!" After Li Nan gave an affirmative answer, he immediately picked up the iron cup on the table and pinched it flat with a little force.
Li Nan's actions were more effective than words, and after seeing this scene, Rogers immediately understood why he wanted to quit the experiment.
According to the introduction of Edkins and Colonel Phillips, this extremely dangerous super soldier experiment is to inject a special serum that has just been developed into the human body to strengthen the physical fitness of soldiers, and Li Nan's own quality is already extremely high, so there is no need for him to take risks.
Seeing that Rogers had understood what he meant, Li Nan patted him on the shoulder and said, "You want to go to the battlefield to serve your country and protect your compatriots, so you need this experiment to change yourself, but as a friend, I don't recommend you to go, because the risk is too high." ”
Rogers nodded and said sincerely, "I understand the risks. Although you are not going to participate in the experiment, I still have to thank you, otherwise I would not have had such a chance to become stronger. ”
Li Nan smiled and said, "Okay, then I can only wish you good luck." ”
This kind of experiment still adheres to the principle of the voluntary nature of the parties, so when Li Nan took the initiative to withdraw, there was only one candidate left--- Steven. Rogers.
Although Li Nan took the initiative to withdraw, which made Colonel Phillips, who was optimistic about him, a little dissatisfied, he still recognized Li Nan's quality and character.
As the leader of the various assessments in the new barracks, Li Nan successfully joined the Science Strategy Corps and was given the first task, which was to protect Rogers and Agent Carter from the secret laboratory in New York.
Li Nan drove a black Ford sedan to Brooklyn, New York, where an antique shop was home to a secret laboratory.
Today's protagonist Rogers and the British beauty Carter sat in the back, and Li Nan couldn't help but laugh softly when they heard the content of the conversation between the two.
His laughter caused the displeasure of the beautiful woman in the back, and Agent Carter turned at Li Nan and asked, "Rogers never seems to have accosted a woman, so what about you?" ”
Li Nan looked at the road in front of him and replied frankly: "I'm not an honest person like Rogers, I have a lot of women, uh... It's a lot, and I'm a dandy. ”
Hearing Li Nan's answer, Carter showed a look that I had already seen, and said to the little man next to him: "Hmph! I've seen it for a long time. Rogers, I know you have a good relationship with Li Nan, but I advise you not to learn from him. ”
"Huh." Rogers smiled: "Li Nan is strong and good, and it is normal for women to like it." ”
The three of them were talking and laughing on the road, and the happy time passed quickly, and the car soon arrived in Brooklyn.
Parking his car on the side of the street, Carter walked into the ordinary-looking antique store with his head held high and two recruits, Lenan and Rogers.
The shop was a little cluttered with old things, and the light was not very good, and a kind-faced old woman walked out.
The old woman greeted with a smile, "Welcome, the weather is nice today, right?" ”
"Yes, but I always carry an umbrella when I go out." Carter replied.
Listening to the two of them talking to each other, Li Nan couldn't help but pout, in his opinion, foreigners are too bad in this regard, or the code of Huaxia's 'Heavenly King Covers the Tiger, Pagoda Town River Demon' is more imposing.
Carter led the two to the interior of the antique store, where they stopped in front of a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf full of used books, and soon split between them to reveal a sturdy steel door.
After descending through a corridor guarded by gendarmes, the three of them came to a large underground laboratory.
Li Nan didn't recognize the role of the giant machines, but he met a few acquaintances, Dr. Edkins was directing the other researchers to put the finishing touches on the machine room, and the people around Colonel Phillips were all smelling of statesman's stench.
Since Rogers' test had arrived, Dr. Erkins did not waste time and immediately drove the idlers out of the laboratory.
Li Nan and Agent Carter looked down from the observation room upstairs to see Rogers undressing and lying on a strange-looking machine.
Looking at Rogers' skinny figure, Councillor Brand, who was standing at the window, asked in surprise, "Colonel Phillips, don't you scientific strategy corps give that young man food?" ”
The experiment soon began, with two robotic arms injecting six blue booster serums into Rogers' body, before the lid of the test bench closed and turned into a coffin-like object, encasing him inside.
As the powerful electricity continued to be transmitted, the voltage throughout the underground laboratory began to stabilize, the lights on the ceiling began to flicker, and Rogers' irrepressible screams came from the machine.
Rogers, who is riddled with more than a dozen diseases, was able to grit his teeth and survive the hellish barracks training, which shows how strong his willpower is. Hearing his screams, Li Nan could imagine how much pain he had endured.
Dr. Erkins also sensed that something was wrong, and he shouted at the mustachioed experimenter who was controlling the equipment, "Stark, turn off the machine, let's stop the experiment!" ”
The mustache, known as Stark, immediately turned the switch when he heard Dr. Erkins's words, and was about to stop the experiment, but at this moment, Rogers, who was in the machine, shouted loudly: "No, don't turn it off, I can resist!" ”
With Rogers' insistence, the experiment continued, and when half of Brooklyn's electricity was fed into the machine, all the machines in the lab let out a wail of impending collapse, and then a dazzling white light radiated from the machine that Rogers was on.
When everyone's eyes regained their sight, they could see black smoke coming out of all the machines in the underground lab, and just when everyone thought the experiment had failed, the machine turned on.
When the experimenters helped Rogers out, everyone was surprised to see that this little man, who was originally only 40 kilograms, had turned into a strong man about 1.88 meters, weighing more than 100 kilograms, and full of muscles.
Such a change was a miracle, and thinking of the power and wealth that came from it, all the high-ranking officials and politicians in the observation room rushed to the underground laboratory with excitement.
There was loud applause and cheers from the underground laboratory, but the good times didn't last long, and a violent explosion was heard.
Everyone looked at the observation room where the explosion had occurred, and at that moment a guy from the State Department grabbed the only remaining tube of serum and fired several shots, killing Dr. Erkins and several gendarmes who tried to pull out their guns to fight back.
Li Nan and Carter, who reacted the fastest, were also pulling out their guns, so they also attracted each other's bullets.
Li Nan quickly pounced on Carter, who was about to be shot, and then raised his gun to aim at the fleeing enemy, and at this moment, a thought came to his mind, and the muzzle of his gun was slightly crooked.
The bullet hit the enemy in the back of the shoulder, and the enemy snorted and continued to flee.
"Are you alright?" Li Nan asked Carter, who was pressed under him.
The enemy actually invaded this secret laboratory, Dr. Erkins was killed, and Carter, who was full of anger in his heart, said: "I'm fine, you get up quickly, I'm going to chase the murderer!" ”
In the midst of the chaos, Li Nan and Carter burst out of the lab and began to chase the frantically fleeing killer.
