Things about living in Marvel

Chapter 119 Behind the phenomenon

"Do you really want to have supernatural powers?" Valeria asked during the break after the meal.

Colt smiled at her.

"Did you choose to study the solar wind because you wanted to obtain supernatural powers?" Valeria continued to ask.

"Not exactly." Colt finally answered, "At least until I figured out the principle, I didn't intend to use myself as an experiment. Although I'm sorry to say this, I did not turn myself into a giant The idea of ​​the stone man."

"Uncle Ben will be very sad." Valeria made a regretful expression on purpose, "He actually likes you quite a bit."

"Then I can only say sorry." Colt pouted.

"However, if you want to fully understand the principle..." Valeria thought, "Do you really think you still have hope?"

"At least it's not too bad for now." Colt shrugged.

"Actually, you don't need to rush to acquire abilities at all, just brain power is enough." Valeria said, "Just like me."

"Indeed, brain power is my most important reliance, and thinking is the strongest weapon for human beings." Colt agreed, but then he changed the subject, "However, there must be someone who has at least a little fighting ability to fight against him." to deal with emergencies.”

……

"This is really a strange thing." Colt took the Physiological Report of the Fantastic Four that Reed gave him, "To a large extent, except for Susan, the abilities of the remaining three of you are based on Changes in one's own physiological structure or physiological functions, theoretically speaking, such changes should be permanent and effective."

"Yes, this is also a doubt that has plagued me for many years." Reed said, "If it is similar to the kind of antidote I developed for Ben, it is understandable. After all, there are external forces acting on Ben's cells, but they are only separated. In different universes, the ability will start to weaken, and even eventually make Ben completely lose his ability, which is an incredible thing."

"The same goes for Johnny and you. Your changes also come from cells. It stands to reason that the mutated cells will slowly change back without any external force." Colt continued to analyze.

Thinking of this, he finally couldn't help but said, "I have a very crazy idea."

"What crazy idea?" Reid squinted.

"What if your changes are not permanent?" Colt gritted his teeth.

"Not forever?" Reed thought thoughtfully, "What exactly do you mean?"

"For example, your abilities come from changes in cells, but your physiological changes only exist at the cellular level?" Coltra explained, "Perhaps, cosmic rays only change your current cells. , and in the metabolism of the human body, the new cells you produce to replace the old ones have not continued to change?"

"For example, Johnny." Colt took out Johnny's report alone, "We know that the essence of his ability comes from using AR-HP, which can store energy more efficiently, to replace the ATP used for energy storage in normal human cells, but , What if his own DNA has not changed? In fact, he still can only synthesize ATP, but the existing cells have changed in gene expression, so they can synthesize AR-HP. "

"So, your point is that after our cells undergo mitosis, the new cells will lose the stimulation they have received from cosmic rays and start to express their own DNA normally?" Reed mused, "But if this is the case, Our abilities should be diminished quickly, not long-lived, unless..."

"Unless the four of you are on the same plane of the universe, you will receive continuous external stimulation to ensure that all your newborn cells will behave according to their current form." Colt continued, "This It just happens to be different from the x-gene of mutants, thus explaining why you didn’t actually observe the change in your own x-gene.”

"This is an interesting idea." Reed stroked the beard on his chin, "However, there is no existing evidence to confirm your conjecture.

"First of all, we are already on the earth, and we don't have the same powerful cosmic rays as the original space station to carry out continuous external stimulation, so your external stimulation theory lacks a basis at this step.

"Secondly, if it is said that it is stimulated by the outside world, then in theory, if you go to another universe, you may lose your ability because of the lack of this unknown stimulus in that universe, but the people who stay here should not debilitating, but it is not.”

"Third, if your theory is true, then all of this is based on a mysterious energy stimulus that is unknowable, invisible, ubiquitous and unobservable." Valeria added.

"Dragon in the garage," Reed said.

"The principle of Occam's razor." Colt answered naturally, and he obviously didn't care much about this idea. "So I said, this is a crazy idea. I just said it casually."

"Indeed, this is crazy." Reid nodded in approval, "But you may be able to research in this direction, and being crazy is not necessarily a mistake. It's like when Hank first announced that he had found a method that could change the microscopic particles. When the new mysterious particle of the distance, everyone thought he was a lunatic, but the fact is that those people are fools.

"Your theory, well, it's too early to call it a theory, and it's not even suitable for conjecture. Your idea, although crazy, seems to be based on an illusory foundation, but at least it is trying to Explain why the ability will be weakened." Reid smiled, but his tone was serious, "It's like when Lord Kelvin gave a speech, no one could have foreseen how earth-shaking the impact of those two little dark clouds would be on physics. Everything just stems from people trying to explain those two little dark clouds.

"At least for now, you have taken the first step towards the unknown." Reed was very happy. "No one knows whether what awaits you ahead is an abyss or a bright future."

"I'll try it." Colt replied, "This is a topic worthy of research. Since there is a phenomenon, there must be an explanation behind the phenomenon, and looking for this explanation is exactly what we, as scientists, do. Something that should be explored."

"Then, let me wait and see what surprises you may bring me in the future." Reed rarely showed a happy smile.

　Say a few words about the content of this chapter.

　　First of all, the abilities of F4 are connected with each other. If the members are divided into different cosmic planes, the ability will be weakened. Gradually neglected, but it still exists.

　　For this setting, there is no official explanation and no rationale. It seems that there is a blunt feeling of "heroes need a weakness, so we gave them one".

　　This gave me some room for manipulation. Since Marvel did not set this setting, but gave such a result, I think it can be used as a fuss (the second setting is patched), and the big guys in the group and I After discussing for a long time, I finally felt that this is a new field that can completely expand itself. In this environment, I thought of a setting that should not conflict with the existing Marvel universe settings, but it is very magical. The theoretical explanation of the original setting of the Four Heroes, and this theory can just be used to fill in the problem of the protagonist's ability, and the fit and correlation between this ability and the original four of the Fantastic Four are ridiculously high.

　　As I mentioned in the article, two dark clouds and classical physics, my second setting is not simply to overthrow the original setting of Marvel and tell everyone that Reed is wrong, but to carry out the theory based on his theory. Dilation, Reid's interpretation of cosmic rays, is a low-level approximation of truth.

　　If I write this way, there shouldn’t be a true love party from the original Ultimate Invincible to spray me with settings, right?

　　PS I am too tired today, I will continue to make up the owed chapters tomorrow, and I still owe three chapters, I remember...
