Chapter 37 Plan

Looking at the running Kurt Connors, Hodge couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he didn't know whether the conclusion he came to after his brain was correct, it would be OK as long as he could help someone he admired. And if the research was really successful, it would be considered a benefit to mankind.

Of course, the success of the research here does not refer to the defective product that becomes a monster, but to truly reach the point of regeneration of broken limbs. For example, Aldridge-Killian, who should still hide in an underground institute and use special plant cells to achieve regeneration or even more crazy goals.

The two have similar purposes, but one belongs to private research and the other belongs to military investment.

Both the personnel and the experimental conditions are far different. Just like Connors, after using animals, he directly uses his own body to experiment, while the other uses some prisoners to do real experiments.

This also proves from the side that money is not omnipotent, but it is absolutely impossible to have no money.

Dr. Connors's laboratory is his own home. After all, this project is his private research and belongs to the category of biology. He himself is a PhD in physics from Imperial University. Can you think that normal people would invest money in a PhD in physics to study biology?

Hodge followed Dr. Connors, who was anxious and angry, to his home, a relatively simple two-story cottage with only a few residents around him, which was quite quiet.

After entering Dr. Conner's house, a middle-aged woman was cleaning. Hodge thought for a while and the woman should be Dr. Conners' wife, Marta.

After all, Connors' money should be used for experiments, so there is no spare money to hire a nanny to clean it.

Hodge glanced at Talma. She looked ordinary, but she gave people a calm and gentle feeling. She was wearing beige home clothes, a white apron, and a broom in her hand.

Seeing Hodge and Connors come in, Marta was obviously stunned for a moment, and then put down the broom in his hand.

"Are you back? Who is this?" Marta's voice had a faint hoarseness, which sounded quite comfortable. She glanced at Hodge in confusion and said to Conners.

"Marta, this is my student, Hodge, he is very knowledgeable in biology." Seeing Marta, Connors's original anxious look also stabilized and briefly introduced Hodge.

There is no way, Connors only knows Hodge's name. As for his good research on biology, it is also his own guess.

"This is my wife, Marta." After introducing Hodge, Connors also introduced Hodge to his wife.

"Hello, the first time we met." Hodge smiled and said hello to Marta, which was considered a greeting.

"Yeah, hello." Marta nodded in return for Hodge's greeting.

Seeing the two of them say hello, Connors couldn't wait. He was very curious about what Hodge said, "Hodge, take a look, I'll change my clothes and wait for my lab."

Nodding and showing that he knew, Hodge led him to the living room under Marta.

At this time, Hodge also looked at Dr. Connors' home carefully. Although it was not big, it was well-maintained. The clean and bright floors and neat and simple layout all gave people a comfortable and warm feeling without the impression of being simple.

This should be the credit of Marta, the hostess. She must have worked hard in this regard. Looking at Dr. Connors' home, Hodge secretly admired.

"Do you want something to drink?" Marta looked at the sunny and handsome young man in front of him and laughed in harmony.

"No, thank you." After hearing Talma's words, Hodge waved his hand and refused.

Hodge is quite respectful to his elders, so Hodge is always asked questions and answers during the period of waiting for Dr. Connors. Soon, Connors came out, "It seems you are having a good time!" Seeing that his wife and Hodge were chatting very quickly, Connors smiled, "Hodge, go to my laboratory and talk about your achievements."

Connors waved his head, signaled Hodge to follow him, and then quickly said to Marta, "Prepare more lunch, I think we will bring a little more time in the lab."

"Okay." Nodded. Marta knew her husband's temper very well and didn't say much.

Hodge nodded at Marta and followed Connors toward his private lab.

Connors' laboratory is set up in the basement of their house. Hodge's first impression of this laboratory is dark, small and simple.

In a small laboratory, there are two tables in the middle, one with observation tools and experimental equipment, and the other with a computer, which should be used to integrate data.

In the direction opposite the door, there is a huge compartment-type glass cabinet, with lizards of different sizes raised inside. When you see, the lizards are marked with numbers on their bodies. There are also some introductions posted outside the glass cabinet. Hodge took a rough look and found that it was basically the time of the tail cutting, the reactions in the regeneration stage, and various detection data.

"Come in! Although it's a little simple, it's complete with equipment." Connors introduced his lab to Hodge while turning on the lights, making the entire dim laboratory brighter.

"Okay, let's talk about your findings and see what differences and commonalities are between us." Connors pulled over the chair in front of the computer desk, sat down, and asked hurriedly.

Seeing Dr. Connors so anxious, Hodge didn't hesitate. After thinking about it, he told his "discovery" out. "There are many animals with regeneration ability, except for lizards, such as starfish, geckos, octopus, etc., but most of their regeneration ability follows a rule, that is, the cruelest law of nature - survival of the fittest."

Hodge first said something general, and seeing Connors leaning his head up and listening to the class carefully like a studious student, Hodge felt a strange feeling in his heart.

However, for his own plan, Hodge continued to talk.

"I found that all these creatures with regeneration ability have a 'regenetic gene', and these 'regenetic genes' are the secret that they can have regeneration ability."

Speaking of this, Hodge's tone began to slow down and his expression became serious. Hodge's change also made Dr. Connors lift his neck with a serious look on his face.

"I found that these animals can regenerate limbs because they are different from humans. After human amputation, cells on the outermost skin will cover the cross section and wrap the wound. These animals will produce 'embryo-based' cells at the wound. These cells will want to convey a kind of retinoic acid in the residual limb. In response, new nerves, cells, muscles and other tissues will grow again in the residual limbs."

Hodge's theory made Connors stunned and opened his mouth wide and looked at Hodge with a long sound. "This... are your own discoveries? I have never heard of this theory!"

Connors stood up from the chair excitedly and looked at Hodge with excitement. His research was all concluded from genes extracted from lizard's tail-cut cells, and he had never studied other organisms much.

Because he believes that mollusks such as sea cucumbers, starfish, and octopus cannot be the same as humans in structure, the value of research is very small.

But after listening to Hodge's theory today, I found that my research is too narrow. The magic of nature cannot be thoroughly studied by just one species!

Hodge's theory was equivalent to bringing a new window to Connors, allowing his eyes to be further away.

Connors was like a studious student at this time, excitedly asked, "So how are these retinoic acid and embryonic cells extracted? Then how do those regenerated cells determine their own role and grow into the correct shape? And..."

Connors is worthy of being a knowledgeable doctor. Hawqi just finished his conclusion when he asked a lot of questions.

Hodge asked one head and two big ones...

"Doctor, Doctor!" Hodge had to stop Connors' fanatical expression loudly in response to Dr. Connors' crazy questioning. After yelling, Connors calmed down.

"What's up?"

"If I know all of what you said, do I still need to study it?" Seeing Connors quiet, Hodge explained that the researcher's fanaticism was extraordinary. If it weren't for his own plans, he wouldn't want to stay with these crazy people.

After Hodge said this, Connors smiled awkwardly, knowing that his behavior just now was too excited. "You are right, we still need to study these things."

"So doctor, how is your research? Maybe we can solve these problems together?" Looking at Connors, Hodge said in a straightforward manner with a smile.

"Haha, my research direction is exactly the opposite of yours. I want to directly inject it into the human body by extracting the regeneration gene of the lizard. However, I have no idea how to extract such genes. However, the embryonic cells and retinoic acid you mentioned gave me a good reminder. You are such a genius, Hodge!" Speaking of his research results, Connors' expression began to rise again.

Hodge understood Connors' temper, shook his head helplessly, and told all his conclusions and discoveries one by one.

However, in order to prevent Connors from injecting the unfinished product desperately like in the original work, Hodge still gave a vaccination although he had not yet studied it successfully.

"Dr. Connors, if you inject genetic serum directly as you said, some unpredictable results may occur, such as - mutation!" Hodge said solemnly at Connors, who was furious.

Connors, who had been fooled by Hodge, had already agreed with his words at this time. Hearing such a solemn reminder, he couldn't help but start thinking.

"You have to know that the lizard's genome is too swelling. If its genes are injected into it, it is likely to cause genetic mutations, and the consequences are..."

"What will happen?" After hearing Hodge say this, Connors's face became a little ugly, and he guessed something in his heart, but he still asked uncertainly.

"If you are lucky, you will die directly." Seeing Connors ask, Hodge was not vague and said directly, "The better result is that people will have some unknowable changes when they are alive."

Generally speaking, failure of the experiment is death, but Hodge has the content of the movie in his mind. After Connors failed, he turned into a doctor of lizard and dared to say that.

Looking at Dr. Connors who had been in a daze after listening to his conclusion, Hodge didn't know what to say.

After all, it was not just Hodge's conscience to help Connors today, but also for his own plan. A huge organization as Hydra must be very interested in some special inventions. If Connors is helped to invent it successfully, then 80% of this thing may attract those people.

In this way, Hodge can lay out his eyeliner wider, know more about Hydra's movements, and know their goals, so that he will not be passive, because he does not like to passively wait for others to attack before counterattacking.

——————————

The second update is here. I will write it for a while and think about it. It's so tiring~~~~~~~~~~ But this should change slowly~~

I shamelessly asked for recommendations and collections, and the ranking fell to the other side of the earth.
Chapter completed!
