The Enhancement Technology Takes Initial Shape

"T0, T1, these names really do reflect their strength." The simple and easy-to-understand designations made Tony's mind wander.

"We now have two enhancement directions. T1 is our previous strain. The enhancement technology developed for it is relatively stable and can greatly improve physical fitness, reaction speed, and even thinking speed while keeping the experimental subject's body size unchanged."

As he spoke, Wesker slid his tablet to show Tony the records of the experimental project.

"Another direction is the newly acquired T0 strain. Although its enhancement is more effective in improving physical fitness, it will alter the body shape. The bones, skin, and internal organs will all mutate, causing the test subjects to change into monsters and their intelligence to drop significantly, making them like wild beasts."

"Did they optimize your brain?" Tony asked curiously.

Wesker smiled slightly as he listened to Tony's words, nodding in confirmation of Tony's guess: "Some researchers also believe that the T0 virus may have found that the brain consumes too much energy during its evolution, so it only preserved the survival instinct. In addition, there is another problem with the enhancement of the T0 virus: if the mutation is not controlled, it will not end, and will continue until the genes collapse. All test subjects need to be injected with serum regularly."

"Serum?" Tony asked curiously.

"We have conducted preliminary analysis of the T-virus serum you provided and are now able to mass-produce it. We have also developed a serum specifically for the T0 virus, which can be used to inhibit gene collapse, slow down or even reverse gene mutations. When used in combination, it can create controllable super soldiers, or rather, super monsters."

Tony initially watched Wesker demonstrate the project content on the tablet, but later simply took the tablet himself. Although Tony didn't fully inherit the original owner's intelligence, he did inherit the vision. The project content was very comprehensive, and the various data were also very complete.

This unexpected event can be said to have caused Umbrella's experimental progress to encounter a technological explosion, resulting in a qualitative leap in various projects. Indeed, practice makes perfect, and human trials can make things much faster.

How long will it take for the T1 and T0 projects to be successfully implemented?

After a quick mental calculation, Wesker replied confidently, "We now have experience with human trials. The next experiments will mainly test stability. In another month, the first batch of experimental enhancement agents will be ready for production."

"Okay, go ahead and do it." Tony was very satisfied with Wesker's efficiency. He made up his mind that Wesker should use the enhancement drug first. Such a useful person should be ensured to be loyal, and at the very least, his genes should be under control.

-----------------

In the days that followed, since the villa was not yet finished, Tony stayed at Umbrella. Although the accommodations were not good, it was close to various test subjects, making it convenient for him to practice his newly acquired abilities.

After Obadiah's incident, although he defeated him easily, it served as a wake-up call for Tony. Even without his mech, Obadiah eventually became the boss and went after him relentlessly. What about the other bosses?

As one of the absolute protagonists of the MCU, how could aliens and villains not come looking for him? Not to mention, he, who can open treasure chests, wouldn't really remain unknown.

So when it's time to suffer, you have to endure it. If you gain new abilities, practice them immediately. If you can't equip Earth with the mechs yourself, then make sure all Earthlings are equipped with the best enhancements and strive to become super-humans. When Thanos comes, not only will he not be able to take the Infinity Stones, but he'll also have to leave them behind.

During this period, the Los Angeles city government sent people to Umbrella Corporation and directly signed an agreement with Wesker, contracting the cleanup work of the Marbury community to Umbrella.

The main task was to ensure that the biochemical virus had no aftereffects and to allow Umbrella Corporation to build research centers throughout the Marbury community, which was considered payment for providing cleanup services.

The unexpected windfall completely stunned Wesker, and after consulting with Tony, he readily signed the contract.

Tony and Wesker's original words were: "If there's a pie, we'll eat it. If it doesn't work, we'll just go for it. We have superhuman strength, why are we afraid of them playing dirty tricks?"

Of course, there are even more powerful individuals with extraordinary abilities in this world, but they will not be enemies with the current Umbrella. In fact, it is estimated that the military will eventually cooperate with them. What they are giving us now is an advance benefit.

The benefits don't stop there; Pepper has also been in a very good mood lately, and Stark Industries' stock price has really skyrocketed.

After all, there was a constant stream of positive news, with increased military spending and the stock market of military enterprises soaring.

A series of news reports further fueled the surge in Stark's stock price.

Stark's weapons division expanded its production capacity and received a large number of orders from overseas U.S. military units.

Stark's weapons division underwent reforms, accelerating the development of new weapons.

Umbrella! The rising star in the biotech industry is actually a subsidiary of Stark Industries!

Tony Stark, now in biotechnology! Where are the limits of genius?

Breaking news: Obama has disappeared, and the ownership of his shares remains a mystery?

As the stock market soared, the news about Obadiah was surprisingly considered good news. So-called experts analyzed it this way: it is highly likely that Tony Stark will acquire Obadiah's shares, and then the genius Tony Stark, who will hold an absolute stake, will lead Stark Industries to unimaginable heights.

It can only be said that as long as you succeed, someone will naturally defend you. The same goes for the stock market; as long as it rises, anything can be interpreted as an indication.

But some people were unhappy, and that's how the phone rang.

"Stark, you tricked me! What happened to the exclusive? How come Obadiah is dead?"

"You can report it now, Obadiah probably won't retaliate against you." The aggressive reporter Christine stormed into Umbrella Corporation to question Tony.

Tony was bored, always training and hadn't been with women in a long time. After receiving the call, he arranged for Eric to send someone to pick up Christine. Now Marbury had become Umbrella Corporation's private property, and Stark Industries had specially deployed several satellites to monitor it 24 hours a day to prevent anyone from illegally intruding.

Eric's team has also expanded significantly and now spends all their time monitoring the construction workers to get the research center up and running.

Unexpectedly, when Christine met Tony, she stopped being coy and flirtatious on the phone and started talking about work. Tony, however, liked the uniforms and role-playing, finding them even more interesting.

"But his news is no longer interesting. Even if it makes the newspapers, it's just scraps of news. Nobody's interested in him anymore."

"Then I'll give you a new job," Tony said, patting the seat next to him.

"New news? The truth about Umbrella? I knew something was wrong here." As Christine drove in, she couldn't see any real staff members. The entire laboratory was heavily guarded, clearly hiding a big secret.

"These aren't the key points. I want to ask you, do you want to be a boss? Newspapers are destined to be eliminated, and the media industry is about to undergo a change of regime."
