Replacement

Ray nodded when he heard the words.

If an excellent scientist has a super-powerful brain, the difficulty of research will be greatly reduced, and a large number of achievements will emerge, bringing about major changes in technology, and the whole world.

Ray blushed a little after being told so by the doctor,

"Doctor, don't say that! These are all your credits. You invented the serum. I just made a suggestion."

"Without you, there would be no enhanced serum, let alone today's improved serum. Maybe I would have been killed by Hydra's spies." Dr. Erskine sighed.

Ray was conflicted. Although everything he did was good for the Doctor and the others, it was more for himself. Now, the Doctor suddenly said that he was so great, so he felt a little awkward.

Seeing that Howard was still intoxicated, he stepped forward and pulled him away.

"Doctor, We will go back first, and come back another day!"

The doctor shook his head helplessly from behind, and a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

...

Howard, who was dragged away by Ray, was still trying to struggle, but he was easily suppressed by Ray's strength.

After that, he simply stayed in the Gym and didn't leave, pestering Ray every day to teach him martial arts.

Well, According to Dr. MacLean, the research on Adamantium is likely to yield results soon, The European war situation is in a stalemate, and the rebellious Hydra base did no new actions for the time being, so Ray was not in a hurry.

Ray finally rested for a few days, but he couldn't stand his pestering, so he started "practical teaching" for him as he wished.

Despite having three times the physical fitness of ordinary people, Howard suffered a lot under Ray's training. He was tortured every day with a bruised nose and a swollen face but thanks to his strong recovery, he became good the next day.

After the brain was strengthened, Howard learned very quickly, and gradually he was able to use a few tricks. Of course, Ray kept his hands, if it was a life-and-death battle, he would not be able to escape being killed by Ray.

On the other hand, Dr. MacLean's research was progressing very smoothly.

Now that there are sufficient raw materials, the development speed exceeded Ray's expectations.

Although the Adamantium, which is the material of the shield used by Ray, could not be successfully replicated, the doctor still created a slightly inferior version of the Adamantium which he decided to call Adamantium-Beta.

A bright silver metal shield identical to Ray's shield was placed in front of the two of them.

Looking at the familiar round shield in front of them, Ray and Howard looked at each other, and they couldn't help thinking of the round shields that hung all over the room in the living room of Dr. Marklein's house.

Ray didn't know what to say about the doctor's hobby of making precious materials into shields, Since, both metals had a common characteristic.

They remain liquid at 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit and can be processed, and once solidified, they become indestructible, showing no sign of melting even at 500,000 degrees Celsius.

Therefore, once the Adamantium or Adamantium-Beta is formed, it cannot change its shape, nor can it be destroyed by any external force.

This piece of Adamantium-Beta was made into a round shield by Dr. MacLean, so it can only be used as a shield and cannot be returned to the furnace.

But this is also just right, He can give this shield to Steve.

He took the Adamantium shield that should have belonged to him, so he had to find another weapon for him.

Although this shield made of Adamantium-Beta is slightly worse than the one he has, as it cannot absorb kinetic energy and invalidate all attacks, but its hard material and indestructible characteristics are enough.

After all, no enemy is too powerful in the world now. After serum-enhanced Steve has the Adamantium shield, he is basically invincible, except for devastating blows such as nuclear explosions, nothing could threaten him.

The two of them condemned Dr. MacLean, who suffered from Severe OCD, for his reckless behavior. After some tests, the Adamantium-Beta showed performance that was not weaker than Adamantium, which made Ray very satisfied, he did not expect it to be developed so quickly.

The slashing of various cold weapons and the bursts of large-caliber machine gun bullets could not cause any damage to it.

The traces left on the surface after being hit by bullets disappeared with a touch of a hand, and the surface of the shield was still as bright as new, not even a single scratch was left.

The close-range detonation of the grenade and the bombardment of the rockets only turned its surface black, and the shield did not deform at all.

Dr. MacLean tried all the weapons that could be found in the laboratory. This Adamantium shield perfectly withstood all the attacks, and it was intact.

The doctor even planned to use armor-piercing shells for a test but It wasn't available.

However, Ray had no doubts that even in the face of armor-piercing bullets, the Adamantium-Beta shield can take it.
