Chapter 23: Gamanion finally appears

Chapter 23: Gamanion finally appears (Bonus chapter this weekend, please read on!)
Dr. Connors's Regeneration Laboratory is located on the twenty-first floor of the Osborne Bioindustry Building.

The entire laboratory is filled with a wide variety of instruments.

Some instruments look very valuable just by looking at their appearance.

However, what attracted Hawke's attention most was the stone placed in a transparent box in front of him, which he saw through the glass.

Hawke didn't know what kind of stone it was.

but……

His intuition told him that this was what he was looking for.

Hawke's mind moved and he looked at Gwen beside him.

"what is that?"

"what?"

Gwen was stunned at first, and withdrew her gaze from Max Dillon who was repairing it. She looked in the direction of Hawk's finger, and then looked at Hawk.

"Oh, that, gamma rays."

"?"

Gamma...

Still rays?
A question mark appeared in Hawke's head again, and the corner of his mouth twitched. "Although my physics grades are not as good as yours, they are not bad either. When will this gamma ray thing turn into stone?"

Gwen smiled.

but……

She thought for a moment, then looked around. As if to make sure the other researchers weren't paying attention, she lowered her voice and said to Hawke, "Do you remember when the Hulk wreaked havoc in New York City in September 2009?"

Hawke was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "Of course I remember."

How could he not remember?

That day could be said to be the most unforgettable day in his life since he traveled through time.

It’s not just because his plug-in was launched on that day.

There is another reason.

In short, Hawke could not remember that day more clearly.

Gwen shrugged.

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

"Ah."

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

"You mean to say that this stone is... an abomination?"

"Of course not. These stones were shipped from the Quantico military base."

Gwen laughed and said, "The Hulk... Dr. Bruce Banner mutated because of the Gamma Lab explosion, but some strange changes seemed to have occurred during the explosion. These stones were dug out from the lab where the explosion occurred."

Hawke was stunned.

"Then you just mentioned hatred..."

"Oh."

Gwen suddenly realized and shrugged: "I thought you didn't know that the Hulk is Bruce Banner. After all, you don't have a computer or a mobile phone..."

Gwen paused at this point, then thought of something and looked at Hawke: "Isn't it true that you haven't bought a phone card for the phone I gave you last time?"

Hawke took out a phone that looked like an iPhone 4 from his pocket and said, "I bought it."

Gwen had given him this phone when she brought him in to work at Osborn twenty days ago.

He didn't want it, but Gwen gave him a reason that was hard to refuse.

Well known.

Workers need to punch in.

Osborne is no exception.

Gwen didn't give him a chance to refuse. She stuffed the phone into his hand and turned away.

Hawke took out his cell phone and shook it, then brought the topic back to the subject, looking at the stone in the glass laboratory that gave him a strange feeling.

"How did the rocks from Quantico get here?"

"Because Dr. Connors's experiment also has the support of the military."

Gwen explained. To be precise, most of the experimental projects funded by Osborn had military support, and some were even joint ventures with the military.

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

At the beginning, Osborn Industries was just a food factory that made canned herrings, but when the war came, the then very young Norman Osborn saw the opportunity and immediately sold the canned herring production line and replaced it with a weapons and ammunition production line.

Today, although Osborn Bio-Industries no longer sells arms, it has always maintained a good cooperative relationship with the military.

Like Dr. Connors.

Dr. Connors' experimental project was a collaboration between Osborn and the military, but the laboratory was located at Osborn Bio-Industries.

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

After listening to Gwen's explanation, Hawke nodded in understanding.

At this moment, in the laboratory behind the glass, an experimenter was fixing a bottle of unknown serum, and then operating the robotic arm to pick up the so-called gamma stone.

"What are you doing?"

"Regeneration serum test."

"Lizard serum?"

Dr. Connors is trying to study lizards to find the secret of how they regenerate broken limbs. This isn't really a secret.

After all, Dr. Connors's thesis is there.

But most people are not optimistic about this.

There are many reasons.

Hawke didn't take a closer look. After all, whether before awakening his microcosm or now, he had no intention of going down the path of scientific research.

So Gwen was no exception to Hawke knowing this, and nodded and said, "Dr. Connors thinks that the combination of lizard serum and gamma radiation might be what he's been looking for."

Hawke nodded, then looked at the stone held up by the mechanical arm. An idea struck him, and he looked at Gwen: "Can I go in and take a look?"

He wanted to make sure.

Hearing this, Gwen thought of the scene where Hawke was reading a paper in the library.

"You're not really interested in gamma rays that can turn people into monsters, are you?"

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

Hawke shook his head and said that from a scientific point of view, gamma rays cannot be preserved. After all, gamma rays disappear as soon as they are emitted.

what?
This is the Marvel Universe, not science.

Okay, that's okay.

Gwen thought about it, confirmed that she was simply taking Hawke to have a closer look at the progress of Dr. Connors' experiment without spoiling it, and nodded.

Hawke was delighted, but as he followed Gwen in, he said to Max Dillon who was doing maintenance over there, "Max, I'm going in to see the magical stone."

He didn't call him Mr. Dillon because Max didn't allow him to. It seemed that because he knew Max's name, Max treated him as a friend.

Ok.

It would be better if Max's skin color was a little lighter.

Hawke thought to himself.

Max, who was busy repairing something, turned around and smiled innocently: "Okay, I'll be done with it soon."

Hawke said thank you, then followed Gwen, who had swiped her card in front of him, into the laboratory.

at this time.

Just as Hawke followed Gwen into the laboratory, his eyes were once again fixed on the gamma stone held by the robotic arm.

moment.

A message came from his little universe.

is it.

that's it.
