1631. Chess Pieces
"A new partner?" Tang Yu was shocked and immediately began to think about the people who might join the Hellfire Club at this stage. As soon as he thought about it, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"F * ck … It can't be her, right … F * ck, isn't it messy enough already …" Tang Yu muttered to himself with lingering fear.
"Who are you talking about?" Emma asked doubtfully.
"We'll know when the time comes. I can roughly guess who it is. However, it might be someone with bad intentions! If my guess is correct, this person … Forget it, there's no point in saying anything before I'm sure. " Tang Yu waved his hand with a serious expression and said, "And there's nothing we can do about it now. We'll just deal with it when it comes."
Emma frowned. Ever since the raid on Team X's laboratory, Sebastian Shaw and Harry Leland had deliberately kept their distance from her. Therefore, she simply stayed by Tang Yu's side. She didn't know what Shaw and the others were planning now.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door. Tang Yu let someone in. The door opened and it turned out to be Bolivarian Trask. He walked toward Tang Yu with a thick stack of documents in his hand. Seeing this dwarf with a deformed figure, Emma's eyes flashed with a trace of contempt. She was the White Queen and also a powerful mutant. Naturally, she looked down on such a dwarf.
"If you guys have something to do, I'll leave first." Emma stood up and wanted to leave.
"Mr. Tang Yu …" Trask had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Tang Yu waving his hand.
Tang Yu looked at Emma and suddenly said, "Stop! Emma! "
Emma turned around and glanced at Tang Yu. Suddenly, her expression changed. Tang Yu let go of the photon computer's protection. In that instant, she saw his thoughts.
"Did you see what I'm thinking? Other than mutants, there are even more people who live in contempt and discrimination. When mutants are despised, they still have a powerful ability to rely on, but what about them? He didn't even have this last pillar of support. You have to remember, don't compare what you're born with with others. If you blindly emphasize the law of the jungle, then only one person will survive in this world. "Tang Yu's words were very heavy, leaving almost no room for Emma's feelings.
Emma's face immediately darkened. No one had ever dared to speak to her like that! She stared at Tang Yu, but Tang Yu looked back at her without a care. His eyes were clear and calm. He understood that Emma's previous thoughts were a little extreme, but he also understood that it was because of her living environment. After Emma settled down, she would become Professor X's right-hand man. In other words, Emma didn't want to destroy everything. What she wanted was a beautiful future.
Besides, he had to make Emma fight for this future with all her heart, and not just treat it as a trade. He also wanted to remind Emma that when working for him, the first thing she couldn't do was discriminate! If even her own organization couldn't do it, then how could she change the world?
Emma finally averted her eyes under Tang Yu's gaze and walked out of the office without saying a word.
"Mr. Tang Yu, you don't have to go to this extent for me …" Bolival Trask was so moved that he almost couldn't hold the documents in his hands steadily.
Tang Yu went up to help him take the documents, but only handed them to him. He did not take the initiative to read them, but waited for Trask to explain. There was a limit to the respect he gave. At the very least, he had to make a clear distinction between superiors and subordinates.
Trask nodded, walked over and flipped through the documents page by page, and said, "I'm preparing to lobby in the Department of Defense. I will strive to get the US government to support us in establishing a foundation. This foundation will specifically deal with mutants."
Tang Yu frowned and asked, "Congress will allocate funds to this foundation? Just for the video I gave you before? "
"In fact, the situation is smoother than you think. You don't understand the value of this video. Because of this video, the politicians on Capitol Hill saw what they were most afraid of! "Trask said.
"What is it?"
"Lies! This is the foundation of every politician's life. " Trask pointed to his forehead. Every time he talked about business, his entire aura would become completely different. His usual cowardice and inferiority complex would disappear, leaving only a genius scientist and genius politician.
Tang Yu nodded approvingly. "Then how's the progress?"
"The bill will be submitted by Senator Halkes. I have won the support of four senators, but to get the bill through the committee, there is still a lot of work to be done," Trask replied.
"What about the Sentinel Project?"
"I've studied the DNA of Meatball and Phantom that you gave me. I've isolated similar X genes from these two mutants with completely different abilities. This also supports my theory that the X gene is the core of all mutants' abilities. If we can master the rules of the X gene, then we can artificially create mutants. " Trask took out a few documents and handed them to Tang Yu. Tang Yu saw that it was a very complicated DNA map. Tang Yu, who had a background as a mechanic, could not understand it at all. However, the genius in front of him was actually a genius in genetics and mechanics! Tang Yu looked at Trask and thought to himself. In terms of talent, there was no doubt that Trask was countless times better than him!
"This goal is too far away, and if we start researching in this area now, we will become the target of public criticism. So, we can only do it in secret. Don't focus on this for now, "Tang Yu instructed.
Trask nodded and took out a few more mechanical blueprints and handed them to Tang Yu. "Then it is the problem of the Sentinel robot. I have tried many times, but I have not been able to solve the problem of how to deal with mutants with different abilities and mass produce them on this basis. To be honest, if it was someone else who made this request, I would definitely think that person was crazy. But you, Mr. Tang Yu, I trust your judgment, and I trust my judgment. "
"Oh? Then how do you plan to use the same type of robot to fight against mutants that can spit fire and mutants that can emit ice? " Tang Yu gave a meaningful smile. In fact, he still had the wreckage of three future Sentinel robots in his personal storage space. If he took them out, the progress of the Sentinel robots' research and development would instantly increase by a lot. However, this was not what he wanted. It was very important to control the progress of the Sentinel robot's research. After all, he was currently doing the opposite of the mission issued by the system space. He was not destroying the Sentinel robots, but was instead researching this project.
"I want to think about and solve this problem from the material aspect. After all, you told me before that there are mutants that can control metal," Trask replied. Tang Yu understood that he had not yet linked the X gene to the Sentinel robot, but he did not intend to point it out.
After chatting with Trask about his recent plans and work, Trask went to busy himself. He was a very active person and had almost inexhaustible energy. Looking at such a genius who was at ease in both politics and science, Tang Yu could not help but sigh at God's good fortune … When God closed a door, he would always open a window for people. Although Trask was only a dwarf, his talent surpassed that of the people in this world!
"Then there's … a new partner …" Tang Yu muttered to himself. He slowly walked to his desk, where a chess set was placed. He unfolded the chessboard and placed the chess pieces on it one by one.
White King, Black King, White Queen, Black Bishop, White Bishop, White Rook, Black Rook …
In order, it was Tang Yu, Sebastian Shaw, Emma Frost, Harry Leland, Donald Pierce, Riptide, and Red Devil …
