"Oh, that's a problem."
Shimizu stroked his chin, thinking.
Tony Stark could take out a suit of armor and use it directly, but he couldn't do that with a suit of his own.
Moreover, he had Rhodey, a good friend in the military, whom he could trust, so he gave the Iron Man armor directly to Rhodey, while Shimizu didn't have many connections in the military, let alone someone he could trust.
Osborn, not Shimizu, had a relationship with the military.
So, what could he come up with to shut up the military and the government?
Shimizu began to count the technologies he possessed that others didn't and that the military would value.
First of all, Chakra and Breathing Techniques definitely couldn't be taken out.
Most importantly, he had to have a way to crack it.
Shimizu's eyes flickered, and he quickly had the avatar in the DC world organize the data of the past generations of Sub-Titan serums.
The early Sub-Titan serum developed by Viktor was later eliminated and updated.
And among the several related by-products born in the process of upgrading, he just happened to take out the weakest generation.
Rather than calling it a Sub-Titan serum, Shimizu preferred to classify it as a stimulant, but its effect was stronger than those stimulants.
This version of the Titan serum could improve the human body's overall physical fitness by 1% to 85%, which was much weaker compared to other Titan serums. (Some readers said the effect was too weak, so I slightly strengthened the data... mainly because the opponent is a mold, I want to suppress it, so as not to be sprayed.)
Moreover, compared to other versions of the Titan serum, this version of the Titan was the opposite. The stronger you are, the better the effect; instead, the weaker your physical fitness is, the better the effect, and the greater the side effects.
Ordinary people who took it might have physical qualities surpassing those who had undergone professional military training, but after using it once, they would probably have to rest in bed for a few days.
Ordinary soldiers with better physical fitness who took it might improve their physical fitness by nearly half, but they would also be exhausted afterward.
If super-strong special forces soldiers took it, their physical fitness would not increase by more than 30%. There would be a certain enhancement, but the enhancement would not be significant, but the side effects would not be too obvious, just a slight feeling of weakness.
As for superhumans, there might not be much noticeable effect.
Moreover, the duration of this drug was only two hours, and each time it was taken, the body would suffer more backlash.
However, in the case of severe injuries to the human body, this drug could also play a role similar to that of a strengthened version of morphine and fentanyl, at the cost of dying faster while ensuring combat effectiveness and gaining enhancement.
This was basically useless to Shimizu in the DC world, but it could be used here to make the most of waste.
This directly limited the large-scale application of this drug to improve military strength, but it did have a certain improvement, and it could be used in special operations under specific conditions.
But no matter how much they were strengthened, these soldiers were still flesh and blood, and their physical qualities in all aspects would not exceed the limits that ordinary humans could reach. They would still be shot to death on the battlefield.
Their combat power was far inferior to super-soldiers like Captain America and Black Widow who had undergone transformation.
Something like this that had a certain weight but wouldn't really allow the US military's combat power to be greatly enhanced was enough.
Not to mention, in order to prevent the drug from being cracked, Shimizu planned to add some unnecessary ingredients to it, which would further weaken its effect.
"I do have something on hand that can satisfy you, and it can also earn a certain amount of profit for the company from the military, but if there are no benefits, I won't take it out so obediently."
Mencken breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay to just give something of a certain value. By the way, what is it?"
Shimizu thought for a few seconds and said:
"Em... consider it a weakened version of the super-soldier serum that has a limited lifespan, has certain side effects, but the side effects are within a controllable range?"
Relating it to the super-soldier serum would definitely be more eye-catching than saying it was a strong version of stimulants, right?
"What did you say? ! ! !"
Mencken spat the coffee on his suit pants and almost fell off his chair.
"Super-soldier serum?"
The CEO was no longer calm.
Almost every American in this world grew up under the influence of Captain America's various related works. The super-soldier serum is equivalent to being able to create countless Captain Americas.
"Calm down, this is a multi-weakened version. The effect is weakened, the time limit is weakened, and it has side effects. You can just understand it as a strong version of stimulants."
"I can accept that a little more when you say it like that. Tell me about the specific effects, and I will try my best to lean towards the super-soldier direction when I introduce it to the military."
Shimizu nodded slightly and began to tell Mencken the general situation of the drug's effects.
After finishing this, Mencken raised another matter.
"Letting me be the CTO is no problem, but the company's image spokesperson... it seems that no one except that narcissist Stark would post their photos on the company's posters for publicity, right?"
Thinking of that scene, Shimizu felt a little bit of shame.
After all, not everyone is Stark, and not everyone is Aunt Dong.
"Actually, your image is still very good, especially now that you have created a superhero name like Stark. As long as you go on a few TV interviews or variety shows, your popularity should soon be comparable to those traffic stars. By the way, I heard from reporters that they interviewed a little boy who was rescued by you. He said your hero name is 'Electrolight'? Have you considered changing it, such as adding an Osborn prefix, or drawing Osborn's GG on your armor..."
Seeing Mencken getting more and more outrageous, Shimizu had to wave his hands repeatedly.
"Let's forget about GG, hero names, and variety shows. I'll just take one or two interviews at most."
"Very good, then you are now the new image ambassador of the Osborn Group."
Mencken laughed.
Shimizu rolled his eyes.
What's with the skylight effect? This old man.
"Okay, let's go have lunch together. Didn't you say that Stark is going to visit Osborn in the afternoon to discuss cooperation? After the discussion is over, let's put the two things together and hold a press conference. At that time, the company's stock price can rise a few more points!"
Mencken grinned.
