Chapter 40

Dr. Connors' regeneration lab is located on the twenty-first floor of the Oscorp building.

The entire lab is filled with a dazzling array of various instruments.

Some instruments, just looking at their appearance, look like they are worth a fortune.

However, what attracted Hawk's attention the most was the stone he saw inside, placed in a transparent box, through the glass.

Hawk didn't know what kind of stone that was.

But...

His intuition told him that this was the thing he was looking for.

Hawk's heart stirred, and he looked at Gwen on the side.

"What is that?"

"What?"

Gwen was stunned for a moment, withdrew her gaze from Max Dillon, who was repairing something, looked in the direction Hawk pointed, and then looked at Hawk.

"Oh, that, Gamma rays."

"?"

Gamma...

And rays?

A question mark appeared on Hawk's head again, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Although my physics grades aren't as good as yours, they aren't bad either. Since when can Gamma rays turn into a stone?"

Gwen smiled.

However...

She thought for a moment, first looked around, seemingly confirming that the other researchers' attention wasn't here, lowered her voice, and said to Hawk: "Do you remember the incident in September 2009 when the Hulk went on a rampage in New York City?"

Hawk was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "Of course I remember."

How could he not remember.

That day could be said to be the most memorable day since he transmigrated.

Not only because his cheat was activated that day.

There was another reason.

In short, Hawk remembered that day as clearly as could be.

Gwen shrugged.

"Then you should know about that Abomination; he used the Hulk's blood to mutate into that ugly monster."

"Um."

Hawk nodded again, then seemed to think of something and looked at Gwen.

"You mean to say, this stone is... Abomination?"

"Of course not, these stones were transported from the Quantico military base."

Gwen laughed and said: "The Hulk... Dr. Bruce Banner mutated because of the Gamma lab explosion, but during the explosion, some peculiar changes seemed to occur, and these stones were dug out from the lab that exploded at that time."

Hawk was stunned.

"Then you just mentioned Abomination..."

"Oh."

Gwen was enlightened, shrugged: "I thought you didn't know the Hulk was Bruce Banner, after all, you don't have a computer or a cell phone..."

Gwen paused here, then thought of something and looked at Hawk: "The cell phone I gave you last time, you haven't bought a SIM card for it yet, have you?"

Hawk took out the phone that looked like an iPhone 4 from his pocket: "I bought one."

This phone was given to him by Gwen when she brought him to report for work at Oscorp twenty days ago.

He originally didn't want it, but Gwen gave him a reason he couldn't refuse.

As everyone knows.

Workers need to clock in.

Oscorp is no exception.

And Gwen didn't give him a chance to refuse, shoved the phone into his hand, and turned to leave.

After Hawk took out the phone and shook it, he pulled the topic back, looking at the stone in the glass lab that gave him a strange feeling.

"How did the Quantico stone get here?"

"Because Dr. Connors' experiments also have military support."

Gwen explained.

To be precise, most of the experimental projects invested in by Oscorp have military support, and some experiments are simply partnerships with the military.

After all, the relationship between Oscorp and the military has always been very close.

At the beginning, Oscorp was just a food factory making herring cans, but after the war came, Norman Osborn, who was very young at the time, saw the opportunity and decisively sold the herring can production line and replaced it with a weapons and ammunition production line.

Nowadays, although Oscorp no longer sells arms, it has always maintained a good cooperative relationship with the military.

Just like Dr. Connors.

Dr. Connors' experimental project is a partnership between Oscorp and the military, it's just that the lab was placed here at Oscorp.

After all, Dr. Connors was a military doctor before.

After hearing Gwen's explanation, Hawk nodded in enlightenment.

At this moment, in the lab behind the glass, a researcher was fixing a bottle of serum of unknown origin, and then manipulated the robotic arm to pick up the so-called Gamma stone.

"What is this doing?"

"Regenerative serum test."

"Lizard serum?"

Dr. Connors trying to study lizards and wanting to find the secret of lizard limb regeneration is not a secret.

After all, Dr. Connors' papers are right there.

But most people don't think highly of it.

There are many reasons.

Hawk didn't look into it in detail, after all, whether before awakening his Cosmo or now, he didn't intend to go down the path of scientific research.

So Gwen wasn't surprised that Hawk knew this, nodded and said: "Dr. Connors thinks that the combination of lizard serum and Gamma rays might be what he has been looking for."

Hawk nodded, then looked at the stone being picked up by the robotic arm, his heart stirred, and he looked at Gwen: "Can I go in and take a look?"

He wanted to confirm it.

Hearing this, Gwen thought of the scene where Hawk was reading papers in the library.

"You aren't really interested in the Gamma rays that can turn people into monsters, are you?"

"No, I'm interested in the Gamma rays inside this stone."

Hawk shook his head and said, because from a scientific point of view, Gamma rays cannot be stored, after all, Gamma rays disappear once they are shot out.

What?

This is the Marvel Universe, it doesn't talk about science.

Alright, then never mind.

Gwen thought for a moment, confirmed that simply taking Hawk to take a close look wouldn't spoil Dr. Connors' experimental progress, and nodded.

Hawk was happy inside, but when following Gwen in, he said to Max Dillon, who was repairing something over there: "Max, I'm going in to take a look at that magical stone."

He didn't call him Mr. Dillon, because Max wouldn't let him, seemingly because he knew Max's name, so Max treated him as a friend.

Um.

If Max's skin color were a little lighter, that would be great.

Hawk thought to himself.

Max, who was burying his head in repairs, turned back and revealed an honest smile: "Okay, I'll be done repairing soon too."

Hawk said thank you, and then walked into the lab inside with Gwen, who was swiping her card in front.

Just then.

Just as Hawk followed Gwen into the lab, when his gaze locked onto the Gamma stone being held by the robotic arm again.

Instantly.

A message was transmitted from his Cosmo.

It's it.

It's it.

It's just it.

Gamanium!
