Chapter 97
"Are you okay?" Louis walked over and helped the little man up, and by the way he saw clearly the person's appearance. It turned out to be the man - Steven Grant Rogers, who will become Captain America soon.
I remember that when Steve (the nickname of Steven) was chatting with Peggy Carter in the car, he would keep pointing to the passing alley saying that he had been beaten here, and he had been beaten here, and here...
Now it seems that Steve is not exaggerating at all. He just walks around the alley and can see the future Captain America being kicked by a group of people.
"I'm fine, thank you." Steve Rogers slapped the dust on his body, thanked Louis next to him, and recognized Louis' identity: "You are... Louis Hunter."
"Yes, I'm Louis Hunter." Louis has become accustomed to similar scenes. He traveled around the country to do publicity work. He received invitations from many merchants. Louis, who shot a lot of pictorial advertisements, is now a well-known person and is often recognized.
"It's an honor to meet you, Major Hunter." Steve has always wanted to sign up for the army. He has tried it several times and even forged personal information, but because he is too thin and short, he has never been able to pass the physical examination once.
He was very concerned about war and military affairs. Of course, he could recognize Louis, a war hero who was highly promoted. He did not expect to see this war hero on the streets of New York, nor did he expect to meet the other party when he was in such a slightly embarrassed manner.
He shook hands with Louis awkwardly. Steve just wanted to escape from this place quickly. Louis saw his thoughts and did not try to keep anything. After confirming that the other party had nothing to do, he let Steve leave.
When Steve's figure disappeared into the distance, Louis and Esther continued to walk towards the apartment.
"Is that person really okay?"
"It's okay, he's much stronger than he looks." Captain America's real strength is not his body. Even if he uses enhancement potion, his combat power is nothing among many superheroes.
Esther did not ask questions, but regarded Steve as a pure passerby, and instead talked to Louis about the banquet that Howard was going to hold in a few days.
"Do you want to prepare a new dress?" Howard Stark is a well-known wealthy man in the United States. The banquets held by such people are invited by elites from all walks of life. If you wear them too casually, you will be ridiculed.
This is not an occasion to show your personal style. Doing a unique thing at this time will only make the person feel uneducated and lacking in quality, rather than attracting everyone's praise and admiration.
"There is nothing to do tomorrow, I can accompany you to choose new dresses." There is not much entertainment in this era. Louis will spend most of his time with Esther, which makes Esther very happy. She has heard from her neighbors and wives complaining about her husband and never shopping with her.
She felt that this was a sign of Louis' love for her very much. She was in a happy mood and showed great enthusiasm after returning home, and she looked like she would not give up until dawn.
A few days later, Louis took Esther to attend a banquet held by Howard. During this period, he bragged and chatted. Some people praised Louis' heroic deeds and Esther's charm was infinite. Louis would also praise their achievements in various careers. Anyway, everyone wore masks to praise each other. Although it was impossible to become friends, they had established a certain connection.
This relationship can actually bring benefits to Louis. During the chat, Louis and some people set up several deals: Louis and Esther would buy small amounts of shares in some companies, and at the same time they would shoot a series of pictorials and advertisements for these companies, and they acted as spokespersons for these brands.
Pictorial, the reward for advertising is a small matter. The key is that these seemingly inconspicuous small amounts of shares are assets that can maintain value or even increase value for a long time. Louis tries to choose brands that can survive until decades, and will definitely not let his investment be wasted.
After returning home, he would also ask Esther to focus on several of the big companies. When he had spare money, he would buy more stocks from these companies when he didn't know how to use them. He would ensure that he didn't have to worry about money in the future. He just needed to make himself healthy and beautiful.
Among these companies, Louis valued the most the most, of course, Howard Stark's Stark Group. There is no asset that is more valuable than Stark's stock in this world. Even if Howard dies, Tony Stark will be the successor.
At this time, he solved the problem after he left, and in the next time he devoted more energy to the experiment.
In addition to using the Seal of the Brave to identify the ‘correct’ direction of improvement of the potion, Louis can also help with energy equipment.
He always thought that he was not a scientist, but it was actually a wrong idea because Louis came from the 'future' world.
Although many times he can only come up with a "direction" or an "idea" that cannot even be discussed, this inspiration can play a huge role in scientific research.
Moreover, when he followed Kuigang-Jin to learn how to make lightsabers, he had already mastered many black technology technologies: technologies such as releasing plasma and recycling released energy, and other technologies. The black technology content hidden in the lightsaber is very amazing.
Especially the technology of using energy is very advanced, and when making and using this kind of potion, huge energy support is required. This kind of energy supply and consumption is something Louis has learned through hard work. Only then did Howard and Erskine find out that Louis actually knows so much.
Neither of them was foolishly questioning why Louis understood this. At most, Howard asked Louis in private whether he wanted to invest in Stark Group with technology.
After receiving a positive answer, he never mentioned this matter again, but focused on helping Dr. Erskine improve the potion.
With Louis helping to determine the direction of the drug improvement and improve the energy supply system required, the research work suddenly entered the fast lane. Dr. Erskine quickly produced a batch of new drug that had good enhancement effects and had suppressed side effects as much as possible.
At this point, the Super Soldiers plan seems to be entering the next stage, which is to select the right soldiers and then perform the final injection.
"Is this thing really possible?" Before the news was reported, Howard and Louis had already seen the latest potion. Howard looked at the liquid in the small bottle and couldn't tell what was special about this thing?
"Louis, what do you think?" In fact, Dr. Erskine himself was not sure about the specific effect. He was able to improve several versions so quickly, all of which depended on Louis' judgment: Louis felt that this direction was going, so he tried to optimize and improve it. He had not conducted any human tests during this period, and he could not guarantee the final effect.
"..." Louis didn't say anything. He looked at the tubes of medicine in front of him, stretched out his left hand and touched it one by one, and soon got the answer through the Seal of the Brave.
Two of the tubes have minor improvements without side effects, one tube has minor improvements without side effects, one tube has minor improvements, one tube has no side effects, and one tube has significant improvements in the quality of the tube has no side effects.
"It's obvious that if you want to achieve the effect you mentioned, only this potion meets the requirements, but this potion still has side effects."
If you want to completely eliminate side effects, the effect of the potion will be greatly reduced. After several attempts, it was found that this was almost inevitable. In addition to trying every means to reduce the effect of side effects, Erskine's only way is to find soldiers with good personal character to complete the final transformation.
"It seems that at most, this is the only way to do it." Erskine has tried all the ways he could come up with. Louis's existence did make him know better which method works, but it also quickly drained the inventory in his mind. He couldn't think of more ways in a short time.
If there is more time, it may be possible to improve it further. But he knew that he had no time anymore. Senator Brandt was already urging him to enter the next stage as soon as possible, otherwise the consumption of large amounts of funds and manpower will never give a result, and he, the senator, would also be under great pressure.
"It's a pity that I can't draw a more accurate conclusion. In that case, maybe I can improve it further." Erskine sighed. He wanted to transform the potion more perfectly, but it's not possible now.
Louis played with the potion that had no side effects and could comprehensively improve his quality, and said something that surprised Dr. Erskine and Howard: "Actually, there is no way."
Dr. Erskine was shocked and thought Louis had any special abilities to use, so he noticed that Louis kept playing with the potion bottle: "You shouldn't be thinking..."
"These 'refractory products' were useless, right?" Louis did not wait for Dr. Erskine to stop him, and directly installed the medicine bottle on the injection gun and shot him in the arm.
His movements were fast and coherent. When the two people on the opposite side realized that Louis had already completed the injection. Seeing this, they could only stare at Louis nervously, but after waiting for a long time nothing happened.
"Man, you're too crazy!" Howard could now understand why Louis could fly a bomber alone to sank the Japanese aircraft carrier. That was not something normal people would do: "However, without huge energy, the potion could not really work."
