Chapter 3086 "Romantic" Wedding Season (VI)
Stark first sent a few mechas over, and then he went there himself. After a lot of effort, the few of them finally moved all the instruments to the room prepared by Schiller.
Looking at the room full of strange-looking machines, Stark couldn't help but sigh, but considering that he still needed the Beast's help, he took a lot of effort to hold back what he was about to say.
The blue-skinned beast was quite open-minded. He smiled, pushed up his glasses and said, "I don't have the same good conditions as you. These machines were only made with funds in recent years."
"Wait a minute, it was only made in recent years? Has it been tested?" Stark was becoming more and more unsure.
"You can rest assured. Many pregnant women have been tested here. I am currently busy with commercialization."
"You mean this machine can be commercialized?" Stark frowned again and said, "You just said this thing can detect whether the fetus in a pregnant woman's belly has the X gene. If every hospital has one, then you mutants will be..."
The others also looked at the beast with some doubts. The beast did not feel strange about their attitude, but asked: "Do you think that if a pregnant woman is found to have an X gene in her fetus, she will abort it, thus resulting in a lack of mutant successors?"
He shook his head and said, "Don't forget, although 90% of mutants are not that powerful, there are still 10%."
"Can your machine detect the level of mutant fetuses?" Steve's eyes widened.
The beast shook his head again and said, "Using the Beta level as the watershed, we can only measure whether it is Beta level or above or below."
"That's enough!" Steve said with great surprise, "Most of the Beta level and above won't affect our lives, right?"
"Yes, and mutants above Beta level are very strong. For example, I am... well, I am Beta level only if I include my intelligence. If we only talk about the ability of the beast, it is probably between Beta and Gamma level."
"You are too modest." Schiller said, "If you add wisdom, you should be an Omega-level mutant."
The Beast laughed happily, but he didn't forget his business. He adjusted the machine, and before turning it on, he said to Steve and Carter, "I must emphasize to you that more than 90% of mutants are Beta or below, and this is without counting the Ipsilon-level mutants who die at birth."
"Some Ipsilon-class creatures are missing important parts of their bodies, such as their hearts and throats, and may have died during their development. In other words, the likelihood of them being above the Beta level is even lower."
"If it is indeed not above Beta level, I do not recommend you to give birth to this child. I say this to every pregnant woman. This is not only responsible for you and your child, but also for the safety of this society."
"Your responsibility is admirable," Schiller said. "In fact, many ordinary human embryos are found to have problems during prenatal examinations. Although this is a major blow to parents who are looking forward to the birth of their children, it can at least save a family from suffering."
"Problems will always exist, but the progress of modern medicine has eliminated the possible pain and danger earlier. This is a good thing, isn't it?"
Beast obviously empathized with this statement. He said: "During the testing process of the machine, I have seen many pregnant women with emotional breakdowns. Their attitude is as if they will be fine as long as they don't come for a check-up."
"But the fact is, it was already a foregone conclusion that there was something wrong with the embryos in their bellies. We were lucky to be able to detect it. In the era when this technology did not exist, there were countless disabled Ipsilon-class babies who would have been bedridden for life, or who would have endured the contempt of ordinary people and lingered on, eventually dying in obscurity and pain. Being able to prevent such tragedies for a family is the most important motivation for me to study this technology."
Steve and Carter both had tears in their eyes. Steve hugged Carter tightly, and then Carter sat in the seat. Beast fastened the seat belt for her and slowly moved the detection equipment to her abdomen.
Data began to appear on the machine. Everyone's heart was in their throat. The Beast's brow gradually frowned, and Steve's mood began to become more and more desperate.
After a while, the Beast suddenly turned off the machine. He did not announce the result immediately, but just looked at Steve with a strange expression.
"What's wrong, Doctor? It's okay, just tell me, I can handle it..."
"No, the machine didn't tell me the result." Beast pushed his glasses and said, "The only thing I can tell you is that the super soldier serum that transformed you should also be flowing in this child's body."
"what?!"
Beast looked at the screen again and said, "This machine is nothing magical. It doesn't detect the X gene directly, but it can observe the state of the embryo. It just carries a database of mutants from past generations. It can compare the state of the embryo with a large number of mutants from past generations and draw conclusions."
"But the prerequisite is that the fetus must only have the ability of mutants and cannot have other superpowers. Your child obviously belongs to the latter. He has inherited your super soldier ability, which will seriously interfere with the machine's judgment and prevent it from drawing accurate conclusions."
"For example, if your child is a Delta-level mutant, but at the same time he has Super Soldier Serum flowing through his body, the machine will think that he is strong enough to reach the Beta level, and will determine that he is a Beta-level mutant."
"But the fact is that he does not possess Beta-level mutant abilities, and may even have Ipsilon-level defects, which could lead to serious misjudgment."
The beast paused for a moment and said, "It would be nice if we could wait until the fetus is a little older before checking. At that time, we could at least determine if there are any obvious limb defects. But it would be too dangerous to induce labor at that time. It seems that this machine still has a lot of room for improvement."
Everyone was silent for a moment. They didn't expect this result. Stark patted Steve on the back and said, "Look at it from a positive perspective. The power of the Super Soldier Serum can make up for the child's physical deficiencies. If he is really below Beta level, at least he won't be very weak."
Steve's face was still heavy. He said, "What I'm most worried about is the Gamma level. It's powerful but uncontrollable, and it's a serious social hazard. Coupled with the power of the Super Soldier Serum, I can't imagine how much damage he can cause."
The others didn't know how to comfort him, so Schiller said, "I can ask Gray Mist to check if the embryo has any obvious limb defects. However, since the embryo is still too small, most of its organs have not yet fully developed, so it's hard to guarantee whether there will be any problems in the subsequent development process."
"What's the big deal?" Venom suddenly said, "You are so stubborn. Even if the child is born with defects or abnormal appearance, can't we just find a symbiote to coexist with him and turn him into a normal person?"
Everyone was stunned.
They then remembered that there was a magical creature called the Godtar, who coexisted with humans in a very peculiar way and could even completely change a person's appearance. His powerful venom, for example, could not only complete disabled limbs, but even if they were reduced to skin fragments, he could still piece them back together.
Steve showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. That's right. Before he knew that the child had the ability of a super soldier, he might have needed to worry about what to do if his physique was too weak. But now that he knew that the child was born with Captain America's physique, even if his appearance was abnormal, it would not be a big problem as long as it could be covered up.
Carter also saw the dawn of hope. At this time, Loki crossed his arms and said, "I wanted to say this just now. Have you forgotten that there is magic in this world? Magic can do a lot of things. As long as you are willing to pay enough, I believe Mephisto is willing to make a deal with you to help this child regain his missing limbs."
This is the case with many things. Those involved are confused, but bystanders can see clearly. They often think that they have reached a dead end, but there is always a bright future ahead.
Schiller and Loki looked at each other. They spoke up to give Steve a hint, but they didn't say it before because these were only temporary solutions and not a fundamental solution.
For this kind of child, appearance is actually easy to change, but internal physical problems are the big problem. It is very likely that even if a lot of plans are prepared, the child will not survive when he is born. Even if he survives, he will be plagued by diseases and suffer a lot. Even if he is not sick, the friends around him are all lively supermen, but he himself is an ordinary person who is not even healthy, and he may also be psychologically unbalanced.
They were afraid that Steve would force the matter once he saw a glimmer of hope, which would end up hurting others and himself.
However, with the power of the super soldier serum, at least there will be no physical problems. By making up for the shortcomings in appearance or limbs, she can basically give birth to a lively and healthy child.
Steve and Carter both breathed a sigh of relief, but the Beast still said, "I suggest you invite specialized scientists and geneticists to conduct research. It's best to determine the classification in advance. In case it's the kind of defect that will cause fetal arrest, you should be prepared to remedy it at any time."
"A defect that would cause a miscarriage?"
The beast sighed, as if he remembered something, his eyes became a little sad, and he said: "I once saw an Ipsilon-level fetus. During the development process, its intestines overdeveloped and produced countless branches, as if there was a tree inside its body. As a result, the branches of the tree kept growing and pierced the lungs, causing the fetus to die."
"There was another child who gradually developed gills during his development and was unable to breathe normally after being separated from his mother. The medical staff at the time did not realize the problem, so he suffocated to death."
The two examples given by the beast made everyone sweat. Steve immediately picked up the phone and said, "I'll call Nick now and ask him to prepare a symbiote."
Stark said, "I'll call Stephen. Even if he's not busy right now, he has to send a wizard over."
Schiller thought for a moment and said, "At present, the more authoritative experts in biological genetics have not done in-depth research on mutant genes, which is far worse than Dr. Beast."
"Even so, I still suggest that we should invite Dr. Connors, Dr. Pym and Dr. Richards. If possible, it would be best to call Dr. Doom as well."
He paused and then said, "I also know a genius in genetic research, but he is not on the right track. He has been doing some evil experiments on genes. The X-Men should have heard of him."
The Beast looked back at Schiller.
"His name is Nathaniel Essex, codenamed Mr. Sinister."
