Chapter 238 Amanda Waller
However, Shimizu had no intention of turning Nam's corpse into a human puppet just yet.
What he wanted was a human puppet that could inherit the abilities of the deceased in life, but he wasn't sure if the corpse, after being processed according to the traditional puppet-making methods of Sunagakure, would still possess the ability of Kryptonians to absorb yellow star energy and become stronger.
He himself was conducting research in this area, and he also had Sasori, the puppet master genius who developed this technology in the original timeline, helping him.
Unfortunately, Sasori's attention was mostly focused on new puppet techniques.
It's not that he didn't care about this matter, but the research progress still had a long way to go.
However, this didn't mean that Nam had already lost his value to Shimizu.
His exoskeletal armor contained a lot of Kryptonian technology, which was worth studying.
But not now.
Tonight, Shimizu had other things to do. Just now, he was just routinely checking the Kryptonian corpse, something of great value to him.
"Pa!"
A wave frequency oscillator was attached to the White Knight, and the White Knight's built-in sensors transmitted detailed data from various parts to the computer.
After all the data was recorded, Shimizu removed the oscillator and plugged a data cable into the rear end of the arm connecting the Speed Force Dagger, transcribing data and related programs.
[Data transfer 1%...]
[Data transfer 2%...]
......
More than ten minutes later, after the relevant data was transcribed, Shimizu unplugged the data cable again, popped out a chakra thread with his left hand to connect to the White Knight, and activated the Speed Force Dagger from the inside.
"Om—"
Under the effect of the Speed Force, the White Knight vibrated at high speed according to the previously recorded frequency data, turning into a blurry shadow.
Soon, this blurry white shadow split into two parts, one still a white shadow, and the other a metal shell maintaining the original shape of the White Knight.
"Clang clang clang!"
Shimizu knocked on the promethium metal shell a few times, a satisfied expression on his face.
In the perception of the Transparent World, he didn't find anything mixed into the promethium metal shell.
In fact, there was nothing on the White Knight either, but Shimizu didn't trust Luthor.
The chip program inside must have been tampered with by Luthor, possibly implanted with a virus.
Even though the true drive of the White Knight required his own chakra thread to activate, it might have added functions such as positioning tracking and eavesdropping.
So he set up a program according to the Speed Force, allowing the White Knight to separate from the promethium metal shell—Luthor's coating method made it basically impossible to separate it by unconventional means given the firmness of promethium metal.
He only needed to take the Speed Force Dagger off the original White Knight and use his own technology to create a new White Knight Mark II.
Then he could reinsert the Speed Force Dagger and use high-speed vibration to recombine the White Knight Mark II and the promethium metal shell.
As for the current White Knight, he might as well disassemble it and melt part of it down to continue using it as material.
At the same time, in a highly classified military base in America, in an underground secret room.
Luthor, blindfolded, was escorted here by two heavily armed soldiers in camouflage uniforms.
"Lex Luthor."
As a woman's voice sounded, Luthor's blindfold was removed, and he saw a black woman appear in front of him.
"Tell me, what is your purpose in coming here."
The black woman wasn't exactly good-looking, and she was a bit overweight, but there was a sternness and murderous aura between her brows, as well as a sense of oppression that ordinary people didn't possess.
This must be someone who had been on the battlefield, and after coming down from the battlefield, must have held a high position and possessed a certain amount of power to cultivate this kind of aura.
"Amanda Waller, it seems that it's not beyond my expectations that I would meet you here."
Luthor blinked, adjusted to the light here, and smiled.
"Answer my question."
Amanda said with a stern face.
"Isn't my purpose the same as yours? Earth is the Earth of humans, not the Earth of aliens. Earthlings should use their own wisdom to become strong, instead of needing an alien to be their god, to be their umbrella. Earth doesn't need Superman. If it does, then he must be placed in a museum as a rare alien creature.
As far as you're concerned, Superman and those superhumans are unstable factors. For unstable factors, you always either bring them under your control or eliminate them. But I think some of you should be inclined to eliminate them, right? Especially some people, they should already be unable to sit still."
Luthor said with a smile, and his shiny bald head shone brightly under the white light.
"They brought it on themselves. I opposed that matter. After all, the metropolis has tens of millions of people, but you're right about one thing. Those superhumans are unstable factors, a huge potential threat to the country. They must be restrained and controlled. So now, tell me what you're going to do."
"No, no, no, I don't have a way yet, but I think the key must lie with Superman. He's the strongest one. As long as we master a way to defeat or control Superman, then the strongest power will be in our hands, and we will have the ability to control all unstable factors, right?"
Luthor asked rhetorically, and continued:
"I need a deeper understanding of Kryptonians in order to facilitate our next step of the plan. Don't forget, what we should be worried about now is not only them, but also a part of the Kryptonians who escaped. He is also a threat to us, so we must study Kryptonians, study Kryptonian technology.
Think about the alien exoskeletal armor we seized. If we can mass-equip this thing into the army, then do we still need to worry about these things?
And on this planet, the best researcher you can find is me. Only I have the ability to help you decipher Kryptonian technology, and my purpose is similar to yours, isn't it?"
Luthor's words were approved by Amanda.
The latter not only opened the door behind her for Luthor, but also asked Luthor:
"Besides this, what else do you need?"
"After I finish my research, I think you can invite Superman here for a visit. Some things are best understood with a real Kryptonian present. Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm referring to the Kryptonian spaceship after I've modified it."
