Vital Material

As Fang Ye continued reading the report, his expression changed constantly, alternating between joy and worry.

Perfecting the Hulk's genetic defect was indeed a possibility, but the implementation was extremely difficult. Even if Fang Ye was willing to spare no expense, it couldn't be achieved in a short time.

But Fang Ye was already prepared to excavate the Tesseract, and now he didn't have time to wait.

He could postpone the excavation for a few more years, but the longer he waited, the greater the likelihood of the plan going awry.

According to the research in the report, the improvement of the Hulk's genes could indeed be achieved by absorbing two substances: CPH4 and CNV6.

These two substances, named CPH4 and CNV6, were secreted in small amounts by the mother during the sixth week of pregnancy.

After refining these two substances, they could be fused into a miraculous material.

In reality, Fang Ye had seen a movie called "Lucy," which also mentioned the CPH4 substance.

CPH4 and CNV6 were both magical substances secreted in small amounts during pregnancy, with one acting on brain development and giving human intelligence, and the other acting on fetal development, giving human life.

In Fang Ye's understanding, the refinement and fusion of these two substances could be referred to as the "vital material."

The vital material contained life force, it was the source of life. To improve the Hulk's genes or promote their evolution, he needed to absorb a large amount of vital material. But where could he get so much vital material?

The vital material Fang Ye needed was not a pound or two; perhaps it would be more appropriate to calculate it in tons.

Without affecting the growth of the fetus, extracting a tiny amount of CPH4 and CNV6 from each pregnant woman and refining it into vital material would yield a maximum weight of only one milligram.

In other words, by refining a thousand pregnant women, he would obtain only one gram of vital material. Refining a million pregnant women would yield only one kilogram, and to promote the evolution of the Hulk's genes, he needed vital material in tons.

By what year or month would he be able to extract enough vital material?

If Fang Ye had time and didn't mind waiting, it would be feasible, but the key was that the excavation of the Tesseract was imminent, and Fang Ye simply didn't have the time to wait.

(CPH4 and CNV6 are based on the setting in the movie "Lucy," but the substance CPH4 is not as extreme as portrayed in the movie, and it's merely borrowed for this story, as two different drugs.)

"Doctor Connors, let's temporarily put aside the project of refining CPH4 and CNV6 substances!"

"Yes!"

Fang Ye sighed inwardly. Although he wanted to start the project right away and refine the CPH4 and CNV6 substances, he had to consider the practical situation and temporarily put the project aside.

Because once the project started, it would consume a terrifying amount of funding, even the Yuye Fund would have a hard time sustaining it.

Most importantly, no one knew how many years it would take to refine enough vital material, and Fang Ye didn't have the time to wait anymore.

But at least he had figured out a way to promote the evolution of the Hulk's genes. If the plan went smoothly, he could refine the vital material slowly after returning to the real world.

"You may leave now! Leave the report here with me."

"Yes!"

Doctor Connors didn't dare to object and respectfully complied, then exited the office.

After Doctor Connors left, Fang Ye carefully reviewed the report. He needed to remember the method of refining vital material; the best place to keep this information was in his memory.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, all the mutants had been completely brainwashed by Kakara.

In the training room at Yueyi Tower:

Fang Ye stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking hundreds of mutants below. Looking at Fang Ye on the stage, the mutants' eyes revealed a fanatical look.

Under Kakara's brainwashing, Fang Ye had become their only faith!

"Boss!"

The voices of over two hundred mutants sounded in perfect unison, as if they had undergone strict rehearsals.

Fang Ye remained indifferent and nodded slowly.

Then, his gaze swept to the mutants in the first row, the ones who stood there were undoubtedly the strongest.

Among these mutants, Fang Ye recognized many familiar faces.

For example, standing in the front row were Fireman, Iceman, Sabretooth Tiger, Nightcrawler, Death Girl, The Maker, Angel, Multiple Man, Golem, Arc Light, and other mutants with decent strength.

If their strength was classified according to mutant levels, these mutants were undoubtedly all above level three.

However, the classification of mutant levels was merely an internal division among mutants, and in the entire Marvel Universe, there was no clear ranking of strengths.

"Shulong!"

"Here!"

Beside the mutants, Shulong and Kakara stood in the front row, while behind them were nine super-soldiers and Max, who had already been brainwashed.

Deadpool, on the other hand, was like Fang Ye's shadow, silently standing behind Fang Ye.

It could be said that Fang Ye's subordinates had truly gathered together for the first time. With such a formidable force, even the chances of successfully raiding a military base were extremely high.

"Prepare to excavate the Tesseract!"

"Yes!"

With the mutants under control, Fang Ye's power had grown, and now he had the confidence to excavate the Tesseract.

Even if S.H.I.E.L.D., Hellfire, and HYDRA came to cause trouble, Fang Ye was confident that he could deal with them.

As for the matter of the Tesseract, Shulong had known about it all along. If you ask who Fang Ye trusts the most in the Marvel world, I can tell you clearly that it's not Jennifer, not Doctor Connors, but the always low-key Shulong.

"Wilson, you and the nine super-soldiers will stay at Yueyi Tower. Shulong, lead the others to the sea area to excavate the Tesseract!"

"Yes!"

Fang Ye decided to leave Deadpool and the nine super-soldiers behind, while the others would head to the sea area to ensure the safety of the Tesseract.

After everything was arranged, Fang Ye teleported back to his office and dialed a phone number.

"General Coben, it's Fang Ye..."

The owner of the phone was Kurt Coben, one of the three top members of the Yuye Fund and the highest commander of the U.S. Central Command.

The division of the U.S. military districts was different from that of other countries. They divided their forces into five combatant commands: Northern Command, Southern Command, Pacific Command, European Command, and Central Command, spread across different continents.

The U.S. military also established nine unified combatant commands, divided into geographically based combatant commands and functionally based functional commands.

Fang Ye needed a warship to excavate the Tesseract, so he had to rely on Kurt Coben's connections; otherwise, even with all his money, he wouldn't be able to get a warship.

After chatting with Kurt Coben for a while, Fang Ye got straight to the point and explained the situation.

Kurt Coben was quite generous and promised that tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock, a warship would appear near New York in a certain sea area, claiming to be on patrol. At that time, Fang Ye could send someone to take over the ship.

From this point on, everything was prepared!
