Chapter 701 The Secret of the Heroic Medicine
As for the similarities in appearance between Metatron and Inanna, Gao Fei felt that it was probably Metatron who deliberately put on makeup in an attempt to get closer to his would-be stepdaughter.
Gao Fei also thought of another possibility.
Inanna has ten braids.
Metatron has six braids.
The two people obviously have a bad relationship, but they choose similar hairstyles. Does this reflect Dr. Vader's preferences?
Dispelling these ridiculous thoughts, Gao Fei took the initiative to ask about the business.
"Ms. Metatron, Director Yi, have the analysis results of the hero medicine come out?"
"Oh! Sorry, Goofy, I was so busy arguing with Metatron that I almost forgot about the real thing!"
Inanna put away her smile and her expression became extremely serious.
"The laboratory has analyzed the 'hero drug', and its main component seems to be a very special kind of cell tissue."
"Cell tissue?" Gao Fei scratched his head, feeling that this matter was getting more and more mysterious. "Can you tell me specifically what kind of organism the cells were collected from?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know either." Inanna shrugged and spread her hands. "This magical cell tissue can still maintain strong vitality after being dried, dehydrated and sealed in a capsule. To use an inappropriate analogy, it is a bit like yeast. "
"When humans or other animals swallow the hero medicine and the capsule is dissolved by gastric acid, these mysterious cells will be absorbed by the user, enter the blood circulation system, and integrate with the host."
"This kind of cell is not only biologically active, but also has intelligence. It can analyze and process the host's memory, thoughts and emotions, paving the way for the subsequent induction of the host's awakening of superpowers."
"Host..." Gao Fei couldn't help but shed a cold sweat for classmate Deng Hui, "Director Yin, this sounds very much like a parasite."
"It's understandable, but don't worry. At least based on our current test results, these active cell tissues will not erode the normal cells of the human body. As for whether they will induce cancer, more long-term and in-depth research is needed."
"When these active cells enter the human body's circulatory system, they will try to induce corresponding supernatural powers based on the host's endowments and preferences."
"For example, if someone wants to become a strong man, after taking the hero drug, his strong desire for power will be sensed by the active cells, and his own energy reserves will be stimulated to maximize the host's physical strength and make the host think It’s done.”
"A hero medicine can contain only a limited amount of active cells. When the cells run out of energy and lose vitality, the host will also lose its superpowers."
"Of course, everyone's talents and physiques are different, and the superpowers they desire to obtain are also different."
"Some people are more pragmatic and just want to become stronger or break the world record in sprinting speed. If physiological conditions permit, such wishes are relatively easy to achieve."
"However, more people are too ambitious and unrealistic. They imagine that after taking the medicine, they will have the power to destroy the world, and they themselves do not have the potential to awaken this power. So it is a pity that a small pill of hero medicine can... They cannot achieve their ambitions.”
"There are too many dreamers in the world and too few down-to-earth people. The talent and hard work of most people are simply not worthy of their sky-high dreams."
"It is a pure waste for people like this to take hero medicine."
"So statistically speaking, out of 1,000 people taking the hero drug and out of 1,000 people dreaming of becoming Superman, it is likely that only one will be able to achieve it."
After hearing what she said, Gao Fei couldn't help but feel overwhelmed and couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Director Yin, after listening to your story, this kind of active cells is not only harmless to the human body, but also of great benefit. It can be said that it is self-sacrifice for others!"
"I don't understand, since active cells have intelligence, why would they burn their own lives just to fulfill the host's wishes? This is not a parasite, it is clearly an angel!"
"If active cells are as good as you say, how could Deng Hui have the sequelae of sudden fainting after taking the medicine?"
"Gao Fei, I don't deny the side effects of hero medicine, but this is not intentional by the active cells in the medicine. The only blame is that the person who took the medicine got carried away."
Inanna said with a serious face.
"During the period of mutation, drug users frequently use temporarily acquired superpowers. Their physiological functions cannot withstand such high-load operations. The first problems are often with the heart and brain."
"Sudden fainting is like a computer overheating and automatically shutting down. If the symptoms are severe, there may even be sudden death!"
Gao Fei nodded thoughtfully and then asked her for advice.
"Director Yin, my friend Deng Hui awakened his superpower after taking medicine. Does that mean he is a mutant?"
"Only while the effect of the medicine lasts, that is." Inanna answered cautiously.
"Is there a way to turn a temporary awakening into a permanent superpower, making him a true mutant?"
Gao Fei knew that Deng Hui had always longed for extraordinary power.
Especially when Deng Hui discovered that his friends and cousins were either Tiangong special policemen or mutants, and he was the only ordinary person, the psychological gap became even stronger.
If possible, Gao Fei hopes that Tiangong's scientific research department can help Deng Hui realize his long-cherished wish.
"I'm sorry, I can't think of any other good solution unless you take medicine regularly." Inanna sighed, "Even if your friend can get a steady supply of hero drugs, you still have to consider whether his body can bear it. Don't forget that the sequelae of hero drugs are very serious. Isn't your friend afraid of sudden death?"
Gao Fei shook his head helplessly and had to give up this unrealistic idea.
"Director Yin, which faction of mutants does Deng Hui's awakened superpower belong to?"
"Well..." Inanna showed an embarrassed expression, "Sorry, I can't explain it clearly."
"Inanna is just a part-time employee of our laboratory. Her usual work focus is still on the module design department. She doesn't have a deep understanding of the research on mutants. Gao Fei, let me answer the question you raised." Ms. Metatron took over the conversation.
"Ms. Metatron, please give me your advice." Gao Fei made a gesture of listening attentively.
Metatron smiled slightly and continued, "The current classification of mutants by Tiangong is actually just a rough classification, which is not enough to cover all types of mutants."
"As the survey data becomes richer and more and more new mutants are discovered, we will keep pace with the times and establish new superpower types."
"For example, your friend Deng Hui, after taking the hero drug, he temporarily awakened the superpower "keyboard man". How should it be classified? There are two opinions within our laboratory."
