The largest university in the United States and the world, with 64 campuses, nearly 470,000 students and more than 80,000 faculty members, the State University of New York is historically scattered throughout New York State, some in the mountains, some next to the beach, some in a bustling city, some built in the quiet countryside, while Ross is going to a graduate school in the Brooklyn area of the School of Systems Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

It was there that Dr. Connors made his proud discovery.

Along the way, Ross drove, Mary Jane and Red Tank, followed by Peter and Harry, two curious little tails, and after a more than hour-long trek to the institute, passing a lush boulevard, two cars parked one after the other in front of an old iron-gray building.

“Dr. Connors was my father’s former colleague, they went to college together, worked together, had a deep friendship, had made significant contributions to cross-species inheritance and biogenetics, and then left Osborne to teach at the university due to physical disability caused by an accident, and the other day we discovered something in biopharmaceuticals, so we conducted this experiment together, God forbid, the prospects are not bad.”

Ross casually explained for Mary Jane, ignoring the two cheeky guys behind him, as for the red tank, he never cared about anything other than money and food, and he went wherever Ross was.

Soon a silver-haired, one-armed middle-aged man appeared in front of them with several interns, this was Kurt Connors.

“Ross, you’re finally here.” Seeing the long-awaited guest come to the door, the doctor immediately stretched out. Izuku gave him a warm hug with his only left arm.

“It’s nice to see you, Doctor, but I think you must have more happy news for me, can you explain it to me?” Ross looked into his eyes and went straight to the point.

“Of course.” The Doctor agreed, without the slightest intention of delaying.

As a scientist who has passed the breath, Kurt Connors once had a beautiful day, funds and honors are at his fingertips, but the major accident more than ten years ago changed everything, turning a spirited academic star into a complete failure, when he was down, academic theory was constantly advancing, younger newcomers began to replace the status of predecessors, and when he finally struggled out of the quagmire, he found that he had fallen behind, and he not only lost an arm, The aura that shrouded the head was also forgotten in the past.

Connors certainly couldn’t accept this dilemma, he had to rise up again and regain what he lost, and the appearance of his old friend’s son just gave him an unexpected opportunity, and now he knows that once it comes, it must not be missed.

“Look at this data, this data, they faithfully fulfill their duty to put what happened in the subjects. Everything inside is presented to us as it is! Pointing to the rows of monitors, clapping thick reports, the doctor with scattered hair and blue circles under his eyes was in high spirits at the moment.

“We selected a total of 40 mice for injection, and the observation area was mainly set in the two aspects of exercise capacity and autophagy, and the agent injected by 20 mice was specially modulated to make their bodies. Autophagosomes that are endogenous around tissues that are recycled fluoresce green, and it has been observed that the number of autophagosomes in the muscles of mice increases by 400% after a period of treadmill exercise, which means…”

“It means that the body’s ability to resist disease is greatly enhanced, and it can prolong life.” Peter whispered his words behind Mary Jane.

“That’s right.” Connors glanced at him in slight surprise, as if he had only discovered his existence now, while the other two were directly ignored by him without even looking at him.

For nerds and scholars, these terms are easy to understand, but for Mary Jane and Harry, it is too difficult, in the wordless silence, the former stares at the beautiful female intern behind Connors in a daze, the latter begins to gnaw his fingers anxiously, seeing their confused appearance, in order to avoid embarrassment, Ross uses the most simple description to popularize their science knowledge.

Autophagy refers to a process of destroying its own redundant, deformed proteins and other cellular components and recycling, which can be understood as helping whales remove barnacles, whale lice and parasites of printed fish, whales use this small fish to clean up harmful organisms attached to the body, biologists believe that autophagy also has a similar effect, can remove damaged mitochondria, help humans prevent many diseases.

They may have emerged in response to evolutionary deficiencies, but they were also involved in eliminating bacterial infections and slowing down the onset of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s, and interestingly, autophagosomes also seem to slow down aging.

One can imagine how broad the prospects are once a new agent passes the test.

As one of the developers, Dr. Connors is experienced and has recognized this in advance, and another sharp-eyed person turned out to be Harry, who has been silent since coming to the institute, and after listening to Ross’s explanation, he immediately had a series of associations.

“So, you developed a body-enhancing potion?” Harry couldn’t help but interject, and at this moment, the unpleasantness caused by the girl’s failure to compete quietly receded into the background, and the instinct of the entrepreneur’s son prevailed, and he suddenly remembered that his father’s company seemed to have a similar plan.

According to the information he inadvertently got from his father when he answered the phone, Osborne’s human enhancement program seems to have been in trouble recently….

Ross glanced at him meaningfully and shook his head to deny the guess.

“It’s not what you think.” He explained to Harry, and Dr. Connors, who had high expectations for this moment. “The agent only adjusts the basic quality of the human body, so that the relevant genes are turned on and activated, under the action of these genes, muscle cells release a large number of enzymes during exercise, so that muscle cells burn calories and obtain additional energy, if it cannot open the body because of exercise. Internal circulation mechanism, then the endurance of the receptor will still decrease, the ability to ingest sugar in the blood will also weaken, and everything will slowly return to before the intake of the potion—- after all, this is not the miracle drug used by Captain America, it still has its limitations. ”

Harry nodded, this time he understood, this drug can help humans become stronger and healthier through exercise, but don’t expect it to turn ordinary people into superheroes.

Still, it was an epoch-making invention—- and considering the deep-pocketed pharmaceutical companies lobbying to achieve industrial monopolies for high profits, Harry could imagine how richly it would be rewarded from the market once Osborne patented the drug.

At that time, the father Norman will be overjoyed and proud of his son. Proud!

Thinking of this, Osborne Jr.’s attitude immediately changed radically and began to try to win over Ross, which is exactly what Ross wants.

While they were each pregnant, Connors looked at his empty right sleeve and sighed sadly.

“See you tomorrow, Ross, remember to give me a call.”

When she returned to Queens, it was completely dark, and by the silver glow of the moon, Mary Jane got out of the car and walked back to her yard, just walked a few steps and retreated back, offered to send a warm wen, and then agreed with Ross to meet the next day.

This girl was originally interested in Ross, and became more enthusiastic after seeing Ross’s career progress in the institute, but this is not to blame her, in addition to emotional factors, it is also human nature for girls to yearn for a superior life, and no one can blame her for this.

As for why Ross has such insight, there are too many reasons—- his father’s education before he was imprisoned, the edification of the family, and his long-term unremitting efforts—- before that Ross was always a loner, and lived like a puritan without other no. No one knows what he did outside of bullying his classmates, and now it is a good explanation of why Ross can achieve such an achievement, he must have spent all his spare time and looted money on study and research, if not the means are really debatable, Mr. Byrne is simply a good example of contemporary American youth.

By the time everything was done and returned to his home, it was already past seven o’clock in the evening, and although the red tank was hungry and clamoring to eat, Ross did not plan to cook by himself, directly bought a large number of hamburgers outside to fill his stomach, and continued to adjust the new model of equipment himself.

“Why are you engaged in those troublesome things, with this we will not be short of money, the door of the bank is always open.” Red Tank sat on the floor not far away, munching on a burger while looking at the equipment in Ross’s hand and asking exclaimedly.

It was a semi-finished combat suit, which, compared to the previous model, looked like a ball of soft mud and could be kneaded at will. Pinch into various forms, but once connected to the energy source, it can provide additional power, making Ross’s movements faster and more powerful than before.

Now Red Tank has understood that Ross is not his kind, not what people call mutants, his physique may be much better than ordinary people, but compared to himself, he is still not enough to see, only wearing this dress, Ross is the elusive king of shadows, qualified to fight alongside him.

With his simple thinking, Ross can form a strong duo with himself, provide support to each other to make up for shortcomings, join forces to break down all impossible fortresses, and seize the wealth hidden in the vault.

“Good question. The reason is simple, because I need to go further in my path and not casually come out and bang into the ceiling. Ross replied casually, staring at the ever-changing model on the screen.

Ceiling? The red tank glared at the bull’s eye and looked up at the skylight, and the dim starlight shone through the glass, like a drizzle falling to the ground.
