Chapter 3695: The Mercury Age (Fifteen)

"Steve…Steve? Steve?!"

Schiller's shout brought Steve back to his senses. He shook his head and said, "Sorry, I was distracted."

"Thinking about little Tommy?" Schiller made a mark on the psychological evaluation form and then said, "What did the professor say?"

"I actually didn't quite understand." Steve seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He said to Schiller, "Charles and Eric only conducted the simplest examination, but because Tommy didn't use his mutant ability, they didn't know what it was. They didn't dare to stimulate him, for fear that his ability would explode prematurely."

"Did Franklin say what Thomas Rogers' code name was?"

"'Windman'." Steve was obviously confused. He said, "Franklin emphasized that Rogers Jr.'s ability is very strong. But judging from this code name, it doesn't seem that strong. This is the most confusing part. Doctor, have you heard of this code name?"

Schiller actually looked through his memory carefully. In his memory, the only person with wind-related superpowers, besides various storms, was Whizzer.

But the speedster and Steve are characters of the same era, and in some comic versions, he is the biological father of Wanda and Quicksilver. But in their universe, it should not be the case - in their universe, Wanda and Quicksilver are the biological children of Magneto, and there is no other father.

And as far as Schiller knows, Steve's children in other universes are not mutants, so naturally they don't have any code names. Some of them have inherited the title of Captain America, but they are definitely not related to Feng.

However, Schiller's understanding of superpowers and mutants is indeed more comprehensive than others. He can probably judge a person's abilities by his code name. Since the code name is "Wind Man", the ability must be related to wind.

On the surface, the ability to control the wind seems a bit useless. Even if you can turn the wind into a storm, it doesn't have much lethality and can't be compared with mutants like Wanda.

But if Franklin came to say this, it must be more than that. Even if it is not an Omega-level mutant, it must be at least an Alpha-level mutant. This proves that either the code name is wrong, or there is a mystery behind it.

Schiller once heard Stark say something similar to "There is no wind in the world, only moving air." From a scientific point of view, wind is flowing air. There is also a special discipline in the world called aerodynamics, which studies how air flows.

Unfortunately, even though humans are now able to study starships, there are still too many gaps in aerodynamics. This is actually a comprehensive subject that basically studies everything except air.

"Could it be related to the air?" Schiller looked at Steve and said, "Wind is a manifestation of air. If you simply control the flow of air, it won't be very strong. But what if you can control the air?"

Steve slowly opened his eyes and said, "Control the air? How do you control the air?"

"I don't know about that," Schiller said, shaking his head. "I doubt he can create air."

"Making air?"

"Yes, if that's the case, then he is a perfect Omega-level mutant just like Iceman. Because they can directly manipulate the entropy increase of the universe and create matter out of thin air. This is enough for Franklin to say that he is very strong."

"But what's the use of this ability?" Steve was still confused. He really lacked some knowledge in this area and couldn't think of what the use of creating air was.

"I'm sorry, but I really don't know what practical application it has. If he can make the air have the same composition as on Earth, all I can think of is creating an environment for human activities on a planet. But for other applications, you can only ask Tony."

Steve sighed. He glanced at his phone and found that Charles had sent him a long message. He read it carefully. The beast's view, as relayed by Charles, was surprisingly similar to Schiller's view - they both believed that Rogers' ability might be to control the air.

Charles also said that Steve was very lucky, because Rogers' ability was of great significance to the exploration of extraterrestrial space. Even if he could only create a small piece of oxygen-containing space suitable for human survival, it would also be very important for human space work. The dividends of the interstellar exploration era were guaranteed.

Steve was also obviously relieved. If his son really had such ability, then he could definitely inherit his mantle... Thinking of this, Steve suddenly realized: his son had an independent code name, which meant that he was not Captain America. So he was still working at that time?

"Think positively," Schiller said. "At that time, human interstellar colonization will be at its peak. Not only you, but any superpower who can breathe, no matter how many hundreds of years old, will have to devote themselves to the great labor. No one can escape."

"Maybe I have other children." Steve said, "Carter and I are studying this recently. She thinks the age difference between the two children is not big, so they can help each other. Although I am a little worried about her health, if she is determined, I will not object."

"That's true." Schiller nodded and said, "Brothers and sisters have a small age gap. Although there may be some conflicts when they are young, their relationship will become deeper as they grow up. If the age gap is too big, the relationship may not be so good if they don't spend time together often. But the key is still the education of parents."

Steve nodded. Having solved his biggest concern, Steve's curiosity was piqued again. He rubbed his hands and said, "So Bucky and Natasha..."

"Pull me back into the group and I'll tell you." Schiller pointed to Steve's phone.

Steve sighed and said, "It's not that I have to kick you out, but you'd better not do this in the future."

Even though he said this, Steve still pulled him back. Schiller closed his phone contentedly and said, "I know what you are wondering. In theory, pain can interrupt desire. You should have experienced this, too."

"Carter and I slipped in the bathroom once," Steve said. "I was afraid she would fall into the bathtub, so I pulled her and put my arm under her. I ended up hitting my waist. Although I usually act like a tough guy, it hurt so much that I sat by the bathtub for a long time. Although I recovered quickly, we didn't do anything that night and went to bed early."

Steve's words were still rather cryptic, but Schiller understood. They both went to the bathroom to take a shower together, what else could they be doing? But they were interrupted by a fall. So Steve was really curious: How could someone continue with blood all over the place?

"The pain was not felt in the right way, and the intensity was not enough," Schiller said. "For ordinary people, the moment of slipping is not enough for them to react. But for you, you had anticipated it the moment you made the move. You also said that you were afraid that your partner would fall, so you took the initiative to make a certain move, which caused you to slip. You anticipated this in your mind, right?"

"That's true. But what does it matter?"

"This is not a sudden danger to you that can trigger your brain's shut-down mechanism."

"A closing mechanism?"

"Because you went to the battlefield after being transformed, you may not have this experience. Most people will not feel pain when they are experiencing great pain. The more sudden the pain comes and the more severe the pain is, the more this is true. This is based on the operating mechanism of the brain, there is nothing to elaborate on."

"So, the more serious the injury, the less pain you feel?"

"It's just that you can't feel it at that moment." Schiller said, "The brain finds that you are so seriously injured. In order to save your life, it calls too many programs in an instant, causing all the organs in your body to desperately protect themselves, resulting in you having no time to feel the pain."

"It's amazing." Steve exclaimed sincerely.

"The first thing that comes into play is adrenaline," Schiller said. "This is also a cliché. I don't need to say much about the effects of adrenaline. Apart from the effects of relieving pain and releasing muscle strength, the most important thing is that it makes people feel excited. Adrenaline first stimulates the brain, because only when the brain operates at the highest speed can it ensure that the organs and limbs can exert their maximum strength to save lives."

“I see,” Steve said. “When the pain is too intense, your brain thinks you’re going to die, so it prescribes painkillers and stimulants. Is that what they’re taking?”

"You can say that. If it were an ordinary person, I would say it's unhealthy because the threshold would increase step by step, and sooner or later they would kill themselves. But they are cyborgs, so even if they are fatally injured, they will recover in two days, and there will be no sequelae, and it will not affect their lifespan. In this case, it can only be said to be a personal hobby."

Steve was speechless. Suddenly, he reacted, his expression became complicated, and then he looked into Schiller's eyes and said, "I remember you drove a lot of wedges into Bucky's body before. So..."

Schiller said nothing. Steve also lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I did feel that..."

"I don't care what you think. I'm just grateful that you didn't say it." Schiller looked at him and smiled.

Steve quickly put those emotions aside. He continued, "If that's the case, then both of them should be...but it seems that only Bucky was injured."

"Because that's how he operates, and Natasha doesn't. Natasha is different," Schiller said. "Most normal people only get adrenaline rushes when they face their own death. But there is a small group of people who get adrenaline rushes when they face the death of others. Natasha is obviously the latter."

"What's the point of this?"

"It's very simple. In the primitive tribal period, if your companion was eaten by a lion, would you stand there and wait for the lion to eat you instead of running away?" Schiller put the document aside and continued, "Humans who are afraid of death are very weak, but humans who have overcome the fear of death are extremely powerful. This is an instinct evolved by humans to ensure the continuation of their own race. Some people are more susceptible to this instinct, and Natasha is one of them. Whether it is hunting and chasing, or witnessing blood and death, it will not make her feel afraid, but only make her more excited. She is a natural warrior."

Steve nodded, barely understanding what he said, and couldn't help but sigh, "They are a perfect match. But I prefer to call it a match made in heaven - it's so perverted."

Then he became curious again, looked at Schiller and asked, "What about you, doctor? Are you the former or the latter?"

Schiller smiled and said, "Only psychopaths make choices. Me? I choose to have them all."

Steve: I often feel desperate because I am surrounded by perverts
