"Rebirth Elixir. This elixir can alleviate the side effects of the X gene. In fact, this is the result of Dr. Hank's research for many years, but there have been some breakthroughs recently. "Katie said to the foreign ministers through a video conference.
"In fact, Professor X and Dr. Hank are committed to alleviating the conflict between the Mutants and ordinary people. I am their student, so I share the same philosophy as them. At the same time, Dr. Hank is an outstanding scientist, which I believe everyone has heard of. He is very accomplished in genetics and biology. "
Katie was telling the truth. Dr. Hank's research level was not a secret. In fact, when he was young, he joined the X-Men formed by S.H.E.L.D...
He was the one who made the stealth material for S.H.E.L.D... Dr. Hank and Professor Charles have always had a semi-official identity. Before the Xavier School for the Gifted was closed, the US government was well aware of some of their movements. The Mutants School formed by Professor Charles and Dr. Hank was used to balance Magneto's Mutant Brotherhood.
However, due to various accidents, the Xavier School for the Gifted was forced to close. At this point, the US government also lost the whereabouts of Professor Charles and the others, and it was difficult to track him.
After all, this was Professor X! A man who fought against Magneto for nearly half a century. S.H.E.L.D. and the FBI listed Magneto as the most wanted criminal and had been hunting him for so many years without success.
If Professor X didn't want others to find him, then these intelligence agencies really couldn't catch him. The only reassuring thing was that Professor Charles was a pacifist, not a radical like Magneto. Otherwise, the president of the United States wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.
In fact, most people could guess that Professor X was behind the establishment of Tuvalu (this guess was not entirely accurate). Because the members of the new X-Men team formed by Tuvalu were almost all teachers or students of the Xavier School for the Gifted.
Although Charles Xavier never made an official appearance. However, everyone believed that Professor Charles was the mastermind behind all this.
However, even hidden behind the scenes, Charles' approach was still moderate. Although the establishment of Tuvalu was surprising. However, Tuvalu's formal approach was not radical. Especially now that he had created a Rebirth Potion.
It could alleviate the pain of the Epsilon-class mutants, but it would destroy the X-gene. Well, other people probably wouldn't do this kind of thing, but if the person behind this was the good guy, Professor Charles, he would definitely do this kind of thing.
Tuvalu had just started to develop and needed a large number of mutants to work together to build a strong country. The Rebirth Elixir would undoubtedly split the originally united mutated humans into two groups.
In the eyes of politicians, this kind of thing is simply stupid. In the end, Professor Charles is still not a qualified politician! Even if he could teach some good students, those students might be good in thinking and have high moral standards. But that's not how politics works!
The politicians of other countries applauded Tuvalu's act of self-destruction. Especially after Katie clearly revealed that the potion was developed by Professor Hank, everyone vaguely felt that it was Professor X's doing.
If the mastermind behind Tuvalu was Professor X, then the foreign ministers had a plan. They knew how to deal with this matter. At least the credibility of the Rebirth Elixir has increased from 5% to 20%. This is already a significant increase.
After all, Professor Charles has always been a semi-public figure. His name is on the list of global leaders. After half a century of research and observation, everyone knows him very well.
Of course, they have thoroughly studied Professor Charles, but what if the opponent is not actually Professor Charles? Or is Professor Charles just used as a smokescreen?
The complexity of the entire Rebirth Elixir X project is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. In Li Jie's opinion, this plan is much more difficult than killing Hydra.
"Professor Hank has been researching the Rebirth Elixir for almost half a century. He is committed to alleviating the disease problem of Epsilon-class mutants. We know that many mutants don't actually have many practical abilities, but they have to bear the side effects of mutant abilities. This is a serious problem. This is their daily life. The purpose of Tuvalu is to let more mutants have a better life. Since these people's abilities are causing trouble for them, we should naturally reach out to help our compatriots and let them live a better life. "
Katie's words are sincere. This little girl who is less than 20 years old is sincere. Because everything she said came from the bottom of her heart, not from any acting. Therefore, even the foreign ministers who have seen through people's hearts and dealt with all kinds of people for a long time did not find any flaws in Katie's words.
"Then since this elixir is so good, you should produce more to help the mutants who are in trouble. Isn't this your responsibility? Since you said that the purpose of Tuvalu is to let more mutants live a better life, "the British foreign minister continued to ask.
Katie smiled bitterly and shook her head. "I said, we don't have that much money. Producing this batch of elixirs is a very expensive thing. In fact, we only produced about 200 doses of the elixir before we ran out of money. "
The foreign ministers fell silent.
The American foreign minister frowned and asked, "To be frank, I don't quite believe in your elixir. Tell me exactly what your purpose is. "
Katie raised an eyebrow and retorted nonchalantly, "I can provide one or two doses of the elixir to your American drug administration. I know there are many people in the United States who discriminate against mutants. I've met them before. You can study these elixirs. Maybe the radicals who oppose the mutants will clamor for all mutants in the United States to be injected with this elixir! "
"Ahem." The American foreign minister coughed awkwardly. In fact, Katie was right. There was a discussion in Congress. If this elixir was really harmless, there might really be people who would promote the injection of the rebirth elixir. It might even be included in the vaccine!
The Americans are very open, but on the other hand, they are also conservative and stubborn, especially some radicals. They are not stubborn, but paranoid.
"Alright, President Katie, this is not the time to say things out of spite. We really want to understand the true effects of this elixir. "It was the China foreign minister who spoke up to smooth things over.
As the country with the largest number of mutants, China also had the highest number of Epsilon-level mutants. Compared to other mutants, Epsilon-level mutants were the most miserable. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were permanently disabled. All kinds of side effects seriously affected their daily work and life.
Although China was very lenient towards mutants and also used their abilities in all aspects of production and life. However, Epsilon-level mutants were of no help at all. To put it bluntly, Epsilon-level mutants were a bunch of trash. This kind of mutant ability was better off not having it at all!
Because the status of mutants in China was different from other countries, Epsilon-level mutants were listed as the minimum social security standard of the disabled's medical insurance.
Just this annual expenditure made China feel very pained. This was not a small amount of money! If they could completely cure the side effects of Epsilon-level mutants, then it was completely acceptable to spend a little money.
"I said, the true effects of this elixir are as I said just now. There is no adulteration." There was indeed no adulteration. This was because this was only the original elixir in the rebirth elixir of Project X. Dr. Hank had not added the "ingredients" of those mutant abilities.
"If it is mass produced, what is the output and investment?" China's foreign minister asked with great interest.
"If it is to produce 500,000 bottles of the elixir annually, the initial investment of the entire production line will not be less than 2 billion USD! The production cost of the first batch of elixir will be extremely high, but the subsequent costs can be reduced, "Katie said the price that Li Jie and Tony had discussed at the beginning.
"If the scale is to be expanded, then the investment will continue to increase."
"Then what if China intends to cooperate with Tuvalu?" China's foreign minister asked directly in front of the other foreign ministers. Anyway, everyone here knew about the strategic relationship between China and Tuvalu. There was no need to hide it.
"I'm sorry, we can't provide cooperation in the form of technology sharing. Because of certain reasons, "Katie glanced at the foreign ministers of America and Britain.
"This technology may be a blessing for mutants, but it may also be highly toxic. We can't give the initiative to others. We can provide the elixir as a source of subsequent financing, just like crowdfunding products. But we won't provide and share the technology, "Katie said to the foreign ministers.
"Since developed countries can provide funds to reduce Russia's nuclear weapons, they can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions in underdeveloped countries. So why not try to help more people? "
Everyone was silent. They still had their own calculations to make. Tuvalu wanted to gain something without risking anything? How could it be so simple!
… …
Dum listened to Li Jie's statement expressionlessly, and finally said, "You mean you want me to be a shit stirrer? Do you think I look British? I'm an authentic Slavic, I have nothing to do with Anglo-Saxon! "
Li Jie shook his head, "Don't make it sound so bad. Won't this help more people? "
"But are you planning to empty my private vault? Billions of USD, that's not a small amount of money. Are you going to use it to promote Tuvalu? "Dum said coldly.
"You did invest billions of dollars today, but it's not for free. You have to consider the benefits of the subsequent political impact. Well, even if you don't plan to be the ruler of Latvia in the future, it's always good to have a good reputation, right? "
Du Mu snorted coldly at Li Jie's words and snorted disdainfully.
"Okay, I know you don't care about your reputation, but don't you want to become a handsome man?" Li Jie continued.
Dum continued coldly, "I don't think my face is worth spending billions of dollars!"
"Okay, okay! Rebirth Elixir X (Beauty Elixir) in 30 countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia for the next ten years is yours! "Seeing that Dum was not falling for it, Li Jie could only use his trump card.
Dum's lips curved into a smile. "Thirty years!"
Li Jie: "15 years. That's not a small amount. Do you know how much it's worth?! "
Dum: "But the risk is equally high. It's not worth the risk without enough benefits. 25 years. "
Li Jie: "Okay, a fixed price. All sales in 30 countries for 20 years. I promise not to let a bottle of elixir not sold by you end up in Eastern Europe!"
Dum smiled, "Deal."
