"Wait, wait. Are you talking about the Weapon X project? " Li Jie almost couldn't control the volume of his voice. He tried to calm his tone, but the tone of his voice was still a bit strange.
"Yes, what are you surprised about? Or do you know more about it??" Hank's eyes swept over Li Jie. His eyes were sharp, and there was a feeling of being seen through.
Li Jie realized that he had lost his composure because the things Hank said had subverted his impression again and again. He used to think that the Weapon X project was only created by General Stryker, the villain in X-Men.
Now, Hank was telling Li Jie that the development of the Weapon X project was in its embryonic form long before General Stryker, and there were even results!
"Oh, because when the mutants lost control, Frank mentioned it once." Looking at Hank's stare, fortunately, Li Jie reacted quickly and immediately thought of a way to answer.
"At that time, we discussed internally whether the incident of the loss of control was man-made or an accident. Frank had looked up Stryker, the military general who hated mutants. He had investigated similar project documents. "
"Yes, I've almost forgotten about it. Because the information was top secret, I didn't have much time to investigate at that time. So I just roughly looked at the name. "Frank also helped Li Jie at the right time and helped him change the topic.
"I only roughly mentioned it once. So, what is the Weapon X project?" Frank recalled his memory of reading and collecting information at that time. There was no detailed content about the Weapon X project, so he was a little curious.
"The Weapon X of the mutants," Hank listened to Li Jie and Frank's explanation and let go of his suspicions. After all, the relationship between Nightcrawler and the Mutants School was still quite good. In essence, Charles and Hank were still very willing to believe in Li Jie.
The Plan X that Hank mentioned did not seem to be much different from what Li Jie remembered. The biggest difference was that Stryker researched Plan X to destroy the mutants, while the Second World War researched Plan X to win the war.
"So, they're going to use the Mutants as weapons?" Li Jie thought of the key point. It was easy to guess.
"Something like that." Hank roughly agreed with Li Jie's statement, but Li Jie's statement was not perfect.
"But I've told you before, Nightcrawler, that the degree of perfection of the Mutants' evolution is different. Not everyone would be able to perfectly fuse their awakened X genes. Most of the Mutants' abilities are actually very little. "
Li Jie remembered what Hank once said about the different levels of Mutants from Alpha to Epsilon.
"Not all Mutants are suitable for combat, and not all mutant abilities are helpful in life. At that stage of the war, they needed the power to decide everything. "
Hank's words made Li Jie and the others think of the artifact from Asgard under the Arctic ice sheet. It seemed that the Nazi government at that time did not find a way to use it. After all, Tony studied it for a long time and could not even think of a good way to lift it.
"So, they made a bigger change?" Li Jie took on the responsibility of a good audience and appropriately guided Hank to continue the topic.
Hank had already dismantled most of the parts he needed and had entered the manufacturing stage of the cloaking device.
"Yes, what they wanted to do was not simply to let the Mutants participate in the war, but to obtain the abilities of the Mutants. They wanted to extract the abilities of the Mutants and create a large number of Mutant soldiers that were under their control. " Hank took the multi-purpose wrench that Storm handed over and pried open a closed metal drum wheel.
"As I said before, the X gene is hidden in almost anyone's body, but some are recessive and some are dominant. Back then, they extracted the Mutants' genes on a large scale and tried to implant the abilities they wanted into ordinary people. "
"But limited by the conditions at that time, many experiments ended in failure. But even so, they had created many Mutant soldiers. Although the number was not enough to be used in a bloody battle on the battlefield, this group of Mutant soldiers on the underground battlefield had brought great trouble to the Alliance Countries. Just like the trouble that Captain Rogers brought to the Axis Countries. "Hank's hand did not stop as he had already installed a simple transmission device.
"And even after the war, because this group of special soldiers was not completely arrested, it still caused a lot of trouble to countries around the world. Because the soldiers who had received these special modifications were all fanatics who were loyal to the Third Reich. "Hank sighed, not knowing what he was sighing about.
"And in order to fight against them and solve the special forces on the secret front, Charles and I and another group of companions were recruited to form the original X-Men. Fighting against Mutant villains, this was the original intention of the X-Men. "
"However, this force was disbanded in the end because of a special military and political crisis. It could even be said that a tragic war broke out on the underground battlefront. In the end, the two leaders of the team went their separate ways. "
Li Jie guessed that the two leaders Hank mentioned were Professor Charles and the other was most likely Magneto. But is the crisis that Hank is talking about still the Cuban Missile Crisis in the original story? Or did the Cuban Missile Crisis in this world have more twists and turns?
Hank didn't stop his narration because of Li Jie's thoughts. "As for what you said about Stryker's Weapon X project, compared to the Nazi's defeat, the military continued to conduct experiments after the materials and scientists were confiscated. This is something I didn't think of. "
Hank glanced at Logen. "Originally, Professor Charles and I guessed that the Adamantium in Logan's body was modified by the human body, and later because of Captain Rogers. Later, because of Captain Rogers, we knew that Logen had participated in World War II, so we once guessed that Logen might have been modified after being captured by the Nazis at the end of the war. "
Logen's fists squeezed and made a few crisp sounds.
"But now it seems that Logen may also have been specially modified after being captured by this military general named Stryker," Logen whispered the name Stryker after listening to Hank's words. He now has amnesia, and many years of memories before are blank for him.
