Chapter 53 The Wild Hulk Appears

Nick Fury is indeed very efficient.

Or rather, the "symbiotic costume" cake that Harry Osborn offered was simply too tempting.

On the third day, Harry received official notification from the military.

William Stryker's death was ultimately classified as an accident during an experiment at a secret facility, and all those who knew about it signed the highest level of confidentiality agreement.

As for the rescued mutants, they were taken in by the X-Men, and they didn't bother to inquire about their subsequent resettlement, based on Williams Stryker's research data over the years.

However, in return, they hoped that Harry could provide samples of the implant as soon as possible for them to test...

For S.H.I.E.L.D. and the military leadership, it goes without saying which is more valuable: a dead Stryker or a living Harry who can provide them with bio-armor.

Because the technology was readily available, Harry cultivated the first prototype after making slight modifications and then submitted it.

Of course, he also added something to this suit, the purpose of which was naturally to deal with the Hydra guys...

The final result undoubtedly satisfied the military leadership and S.H.I.E.L.D.

After being equipped with the basic version of the symbiotic bio-suit, an ordinary soldier's physical attributes increased by a full three times.

He punched a sandbag away and ran more than 10 kilometers with a heavy load without panting.

More importantly, as Harry said, the cost of this thing is outrageously low.

“The overall cultivation cost of each standard symbiote colony can be reduced to less than $1 after large-scale mass production, SIR.”

The voice of "Prometheus I" echoed in Harry's private laboratory.

"very good."

Harry nodded in satisfaction; this part of the cost mainly came from the control system.

The cost was $10,000, but he ultimately priced it at $300,000 for the military.

For just this little money, a miniature "Captain America" ​​could be created. Unless the military leadership had lost their minds, they couldn't possibly refuse such a deal.

After all, these guys have invested an immeasurable amount of resources in replicating super soldiers over the years, and the solution he provided is simply excellent value for money, with virtually no side effects.

Therefore, the relevant cooperation plan was pushed forward with full force almost instantly.

The Osborne Group established a new biotechnology subsidiary specifically for this purpose, with Harry providing the core technology and the initial "cells," while subsequent cultivation and production were handled by specialists.

He doesn't have the time to personally oversee these trivial matters.

After completing the initial design and technical handover, Harry refocused his energy on something more important—organizing the massive amount of data copied from William Stryker.

It must be said that Stryker, that old guy, although he's a bit crazy, does have unique insights into the field of mutant research.

In particular, the in vivo experimental data on different X genes over the years is invaluable to him.

Although he possessed biotechnology far beyond that of his time, even the most skilled cook cannot make a meal without ingredients. Without sufficient experimental materials and data to support his theories, many of them remained only on paper.

Now, Stryker's decades of accumulated "achievements" have benefited him.

"【Prometheus I】will organize and conduct in-depth analysis of all data on X gene expression, variant ability characteristics, and gene mutation induction with the highest priority."

Harry sat at the control panel, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"We will conduct simultaneous cross-comparisons with our existing gene pool to build new models."

"Yes, sir."

As Prometheus 1 operated, massive amounts of data were written into it.

Stryker's research on the "Sentinel" robots also provided Harry with considerable inspiration.

Although he wasn't particularly interested in purely mechanical creations, the modular solutions for dealing with different variant abilities, and the analysis of Mystique's ability to freely alter her own cellular structure, gave his X-series armor a new direction for breakthroughs.

"The original X-armor still has some sluggishness when switching between different variant abilities, and the upper limit of the ability's strength is also limited by the expression efficiency of a single gene."

Harry muttered to himself, his fingers flying across the virtual screen, sketching out new design ideas. "If we could borrow the Sentinel robots' approach, and further integrate and optimize the extracted X genes to create a dynamic pool of genetic capabilities..."

"Perhaps, it could allow the armor to switch between different abilities more quickly, or even... combine the characteristics of different abilities to produce an effect greater than the sum of its parts!"

Once the thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.

In the days that followed, Harry devoted himself almost entirely to upgrading and modifying the X-suit.

Time slipped away quietly amidst this intense, sleepless research.

And on the tenth day after he had completely resolved the problem with William Stryker.

Almost simultaneously, major news outlets around the world broadcast a shocking story on their front pages—

"Tony Stark, chairman of Stark Industries, genius inventor, and playboy, has disappeared after being attacked during a weapons demonstration in the Middle East!"

News footage continuously showed the wreckage and chaotic scene at the explosion site.

Harry glanced at the huge LCD screen on the office wall and then looked away.

"Is it finally starting...?"

A meaningful smile curved at the corner of his lips.

"Iron Man's debut marked the beginning of the superhero era..."

"This world is going to get more and more lively."

Although his butterfly wings have already flapped, certain predetermined "fate" seems to continue to unfold according to its original trajectory.

Two more months have passed.

夜晚
Osborne Industrial Building, top-floor office.

Harry Osborn rubbed his throbbing temples.

After two months of hard work, the upgrade of X's equipment has begun to show results.

It can carry more types of X genes, and its ability switching is more flexible, making its overall combat power more than one level higher than before.

Just as he was about to ask Prometheus I to order him a late-night snack so he could get some rest—

"boom!!!"

A deafening roar, accompanied by a violent tremor, suddenly came from outside the window!
The entire Osborne Building seemed to sway under the impact.

"Ok?"

Harry frowned, stood up instantly, and strode to the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Even under the cover of night, New York City remains brightly lit.

But just two blocks away, chaos reigned!
The piercing alarm blared through the night sky.

The street was cracked open, and cars were tossed about like toys.

Flames engulfed the entire street...

This is... a terrorist attack?!

Harry was taken aback at first, but quickly realized something was wrong.

Amidst the dust and thick smoke, two exceptionally large figures were frantically attacking each other!
One of them was an angry green, with bulging muscles and explosive power. Every punch it threw was accompanied by a sonic boom that tore through the air!
The other one was even slightly larger than the green behemoth, covered in a layer of gray keratin that resembled bone spurs, exuding a fierce and violent aura, and was also incredibly strong!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The two colossal objects collided violently like prehistoric beasts, each impact causing the ground to tremble and the surrounding buildings to collapse as if made of paper.

They smashed and looted along the way, leaving a trail of destruction.

And the direction they are heading...

It was none other than the Osborn Industrial Building!
