I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Homeland clone -1 again.

"unlucky!"

Depp kicked the thing out of the shield and said, "Because this damn shield won't let me teleport in, otherwise I would have gotten out like this!"

With that, Depp tossed the Homelander clone he was holding to Bruce.

"This guy will probably wake up in about three hours. I'll keep an eye on him while you're doing the research."

Outside the protective shield, dozens of Chinese people looked at each other with bewildered expressions.

"Damn it, it seems that Commander 7788 has been kidnapped!"

Chapter 224 Guinea Pig

Depp and Lucius Research Base.

The area in front of the research institute's lobby was urgently converted into a human research device.

Meanwhile, the unfortunate Homelander clone number 7788 was tightly strapped to the hospital bed.

Depp sat by the hospital bed, constantly monitoring the man's condition.

If Depp senses that the guy is about to wake up, he'll immediately give him a punch to keep him asleep.

On the other side, Bruce and Lucius, dressed in lab coats, looked at the Homelander clone that had been stripped naked, their faces showing reluctance.

They discovered that almost none of the scalpels in the lab could cut through the man's body. At most, they could only leave a faint white mark.

“Young Master Bruce, I must say, this guy’s body is too tough.” Lucius threw the seventeenth scalpel into the trash can.

Upon hearing this, Bruce threw the chainsaw he was holding to the ground and said, "That's true, but I think the one over there should have a solution."

Upon hearing this, Depp turned off the constantly beeping system communicator.

Immediately afterwards, he reached into his inner pocket and took out the nano-vibranium ring and Weren's scales from the system space.

Depp handed the two items to Bruce and said, "These two items should be able to cut through the flesh of the Homelander clone."

After seeing what Depp pulled out, Lucius asked, "Um... if I'm not mistaken, these are a ring and scales. Are you sure you didn't take the wrong things?"

Then he saw Bruce put the ring on his hand, and then the ring seemed to come alive and flow into Bruce's hand, turning into the shape of a scalpel.

Bruce aimed the vibranium scalpel at the Homelander clone's skin and then slashed down hard.

A shallow wound appeared on the Homelander clone, and blood flowed out.

Bruce quickly took out a reagent bottle and poured the blood into it.

The blood of these superhuman beings is absolutely invaluable research material!

The wound, which was neither deep nor shallow, healed quickly.

Bruce then tried using Wellen's scales.

While it can also break through Homelander clones, it still falls short compared to vibranium.

Seeing this, Depp reminded him, "This thing is still in its original state. I think you can polish it a bit and try again."

“That makes sense!” Bruce said. “Lucius, bring us our best grinding wheel.”

Fifteen minutes later, the scales were finished being polished, and Bruce once again used his blade to scratch the skin of the Homelander clone.

As the scales were cut, a wound immediately appeared on the skin of the Homelander clone.

Upon seeing this, Lucius exclaimed with delight, "Young Master Bruce, these scales look even harder and sharper than the nano scalpel we just used!"

Bruce nodded and said, "I think we can use these scales as scalpel blades."

After saying that, Bruce was secretly shocked. He hadn't expected Wayne's scales to be so hard.

What kind of psychopaths does Depp work with?

Never mind, I'll study these scales more carefully when I have time later.

To be honest, Depp was also a little surprised, even though he knew that Wellen's scales were very hard.

But I really didn't expect that the scales of the Weren would become so sharp after being polished.

Perhaps... if there's time, we could have Wellen pluck some scales for himself, and then make them into small darts for Selena to use for self-defense.

Okay, let's do it this way!

With the scales secured to the scalpel holder, Lucius and Bruce officially began dissecting and studying the Homelander clone.

The poor Homelander clone, number 7788, could only lie helplessly on the hospital bed, like an anesthetized lab rat.

Bruce and Lucius, dressed in surgical gowns and gripping scalpels, gritted their teeth and used all their strength to slowly slice open the abdomen of the Homelander clone.

Then, they immediately placed the special support frame they had prepared in advance across the sides of the cut muscles of the Homelander clone, and used iron stakes and hooks to hook the two cut abdominal flaps of the Homelander clone on both sides of the bed.

The main purpose is to prevent this guy from healing too quickly.

The two then began to analyze the Homelander clone's body data in various ways, and carefully cut off and preserved parts of the body tissues according to their categories.

Suddenly, Depp noticed that the guy's eyelashes seemed to tremble slightly.

Without saying a word, Depp threw a punch!

Homelander clones have returned to calm.

The only downside was that it startled Bruce and Lucius, who were focused on the dissection.

Because of the force of the punch, Homelander's blood also spurted upwards, directly staining Bruce and Lucius's surgical gowns bright red.

Lucius even slipped and inserted the scalpel into the gallbladder of the Homelander clone.

Two hours later, the Homelander clone was completely unrecognizable and almost unrecognizable as human.

Compared to a person, it's more like a rib placed on a chopping board.

Even his head was cracked open by Lucius, who was gradually falling into a state of frenzy.

The more he researched and analyzed, the more he discovered how abnormal and perfect the physical bodies of the clones of the motherland were.

After the tickets were issued, Lucius even considered scooping out a piece of the Homelander clone's brain for research.

In addition, Lucius also uprooted one of the Homelander clone's eyeballs and the neural network connected to it, and put them into an incubator.

After all, everyone has seen the power of heat rays. If we can figure this out, it will greatly enhance our young master's combat power!

The analysis is complete, and the necessary extractions have been made.

Lucius and Bruce immediately began the next step of their research.

Their main objective was to analyze the weaknesses of the Homelander clones and find ways to defeat them.

Secondly, the data and results of this research can also be used to modify and evolve our own equipment.

Depp felt a pang of sadness watching this scene unfold; it was the first time he had been completely unable to help.

After all, he had never studied biology, let alone copied this ability from other people through popular science, so he could only sit quietly in the chair and watch the Homelander clone prevent him from waking up.

It's not that I'm afraid this guy will resist or hurt people after he gets up; the main thing is that I'm afraid he'll be pushed out of the protective shield as soon as he wakes up.

If Bruce and the others fail to complete a portion of the research on the material and need to obtain a new piece, they will still have to cut it from this guy.

For the next dozen or so hours, it seemed like we were caught in a cycle.

Every now and then, Bruce and Lucius would exclaim in surprise or sigh, and then come over and cut another piece off the Homelander clone.

Depp, on the other hand, would punch the Homelander clone every now and then.

Time passed slowly, and it wasn't until 11:30 p.m. that Bruce and Lucius took off their lab coats and walked out of the laboratory, covered in sweat.

Looking at the two men in front of him, Depp immediately noticed the huge difference in their physical abilities.

Although Bruce was covered in sweat, his steps remained steady and composed, showing no signs of exhaustion.

As for Lucius, this black genius focused on technology, he slumped into a chair as soon as he stepped outside, panting heavily.

"How's the research going?" Depp asked.

Lucius, panting, said, "It's not too bad. We've found the fatal flaw in these guys' genes, and we've also tentatively determined a plan to integrate their abilities into our own technological system."

"Integrating Homelander's clone capabilities into their own technology?" Depp exclaimed. "That's really something to look forward to."

Bruce sensed something and asked, "Don't you want to ask us what this guy's genetic defect is?"

Upon hearing this, Depp looked up and smiled, saying, "If you're trying to say that the flaw is that they're constantly getting weaker and accelerating their countdown to death, then I think I already know."

Honestly, aside from this defect caused by substandard cloning technology, Depp really can't find any other physical defects in the homelander.

Oh, he has quite a few mental deficiencies.

Bruce: ? ? ?

Lucius: ? ? ?

Are you kidding me? We spent a whole day figuring this out, and you're telling me you already know it?

"Why didn't you say so when you knew?" Bruce asked.

Depp said apologetically, "I'm just guessing. Of course, you'll need to do your research before you can really confirm it."

"Alright, I'll admit you got away with it."

Bruce didn't dwell on the matter too much.

After all, Depp has too many secrets.

Compared to those, this is nothing.

Holding the analysis report, Lucius said, "Although the cells of these Homelander clones are decaying rapidly, it will take at least three months for them to die completely."

Depp frowned slightly upon hearing this, but then immediately understood.

The guy on the hospital bed is probably the one with the best physique among the Homelander clones, completely different from the one I captured at the beginning.

So that one only had one month left to live, while this one had three months left.

The constitutions of the two Azus are not the same, and correspondingly, their joys and sorrows are also different.

"What are you planning to do next?" Depp asked.

Bruce took off his lab coat and said, "The rest is up to Lucius. His goal is to develop a virus that accelerates the decay of these Homelander clones' cells and to apply their abilities to my new weapon."
