The entire Brainwave Enhancement Chamber was a circular room with a diameter of one hundred meters. It was hollow, with a single walkway at a height of fifty meters, extending from the entrance to the center.
This newly constructed Brainwave Enhancer was several times larger and far more intricate than the one at CIA headquarters.
If not for Erik's ability to control metal, completing such a massive task would have taken a considerable amount of time.
Han Shaoqing and Artoria stood on the walkway, observing for a moment. When they saw Erik embed the final metal panel, Han Shaoqing smiled. "All done. Let's go for a drink."
"Sounds good," Erik replied with a hearty laugh.
Erik had poured his heart into working for the mutants.
Han Shaoqing thought of the plot from *X-Men: Apocalypse*. With Apocalypse now dead, the story would inevitably change.
Erik hadn't met his future wife yet. Should he remind him to seek out true love?
Beast Hank, standing nearby, checked the equipment. "It's finally complete. All circuits and systems are functioning perfectly. It's ready for use at any time."
Hank was the base's chief scientist, perhaps not quite as brilliant as Luther, but far more intelligent than most—a true academic prodigy.
Most of the base's research equipment had been manufactured or improved by Hank.
Recently, he had been busy working on the Brainwave Enhancement Chamber. Now that it was completed, he had much more free time.
*Next, I'll focus on developing the Suppression Serum!*
With this decision made, Hank followed Han Shaoqing and the others out of the room.
Though no one discriminated against Hank's beast-like appearance, he personally disliked his blue-furred form. For one thing, it made finding a girlfriend difficult.
That's why Hank was so determined to research the Suppression Serum, hoping to regain his human appearance.
Han Shaoqing fully supported this endeavor.
Mutant abilities varied greatly, but most came with side effects—either physical deformities or loss of control. As a result, many mutants found their lives irrevocably altered after their powers manifested.
Take Rogue from the X-Men, for example. Her ability allowed her to absorb memories, superpowers, and life force through skin contact.
In her uncontrollable state, Rogue couldn't get close to anyone, lest she accidentally take their life.
Mutants with physical mutations fared no better. In this looks-obsessed society, being ugly made it all too easy to be ostracized.
In ancient times, some mutants might have even been burned alive as freaks or the spawn of demons!
Once Beast Hank's Suppression Serum research succeeds, it would greatly aid in fostering coexistence between mutants and humans.
It could also be used to combat evil mutants.
With this in mind, Han Shaoqing glanced at Erik beside him.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
Noticing Han Shaoqing's odd gaze, Erik felt inexplicably confused.
"Nothing, just thought you should find a partner, settle down, and have lots of cute kids."
Han Shaoqing brushed it off with a laugh.
Erik was a man of clear principles, but he was also radical and prone to extreme measures. He viewed mutants as brothers and sisters, yet harbored hostility towards humans. He was also quite flamboyant; when he acted, it was always with earth-shattering force.
He was the type to make a spectacle out of everything, probably because he had such a strong need to be noticed.
He possessed a certain leadership charisma, but unfortunately, he was too reckless.
In contrast, Charles was too mild-mannered, responsible, kind-hearted, and compassionate—perfect as a good teacher, but not as a leader. Otherwise, he'd just end up raising a flock of sheep.
Mutants were a powerful force, and their elite members, like the Scarlet Witch and Phoenix, were incredibly strong. Han Shaoqing would seize any opportunity to recruit them.
Moreover, Magneto's genes were truly superior; none of his offspring were weak, making them all ideal targets for Han Shaoqing's recruitment efforts.
Erik was utterly bewildered by Han Shaoqing's sudden, nonsensical suggestion. Why was he suddenly being told to get married and have children out of the blue?
Still, the thought of having a family of his own did appeal to Erik. He had spent half his life drifting, and had been involved with many women.
Maybe I should visit them sometime!
***
Dinner time.
Everyone gathered for the meal. After they finished eating, Charles looked at Han Shaoqing, hesitating to speak.
"Just say it. It'll be uncomfortable holding it in."
Seeing Charles's expression, Han Shaoqing had already guessed that he wanted to bring up Moira.
Sure enough, as soon as Han Shaoqing spoke, Charles blurted out the words he'd been holding back: "Regarding Moira, she was indeed at fault. But the situation was urgent. I believe she didn't truly intend to harm Erik, so..."
"You want me to save her?"
Han Shaoqing glanced at Erik. "What do you think? Should we forgive her?"
Charles gazed at Erik with fervent eyes, making Erik feel awkward. "It's all in the past. I don't hold it against her."
"Alright then."
Since Erik, the one directly affected, had no objections, Han Shaoqing decided to humor Charles.
With a wave of his hand, a spatial ripple appeared, leading to a hospital room.
Moira was currently unable to move. While her consciousness remained clear, she was no better than a vegetative state—perhaps even worse.
Using the red hand of the *Perfect Hands* technique, Han Shaoqing remotely healed her injuries before closing the spatial portal.
"She's recovered."
"Thank you."
Hearing that Moira was safe, Charles immediately expressed his gratitude.
Just then, a crimson mist materialized, and Red Devil teleported into the room.
"Master, a man named Luther called, specifically requesting to report to you."
It was still 1962, and due to technological limitations, satellite phones didn't exist yet. The fastest way for Skull Island to get information from the outside world was through Red Devil or Raven.
Han Shaoqing valued Luther, his subordinate, quite highly.
Although Luther lacked the superpowers of a Mutant, his intellect was truly exceptional, placing him among the top DC villains.
Upon hearing that there was an urgent matter to report, Han Shaoqing immediately returned to the Hellfire Club with Red Devil.
Moments later, Red Devil teleported Luther to the club's secret chamber to meet with Han Shaoqing.
Looking at Luther, whose long hair flowed around him, Han Shaoqing asked, "What's so urgent that you had to see me immediately?"
Luther smiled. "Boss, I've joined Hydra and am now the supervisor of a laboratory. I'm researching a serum that enhances metabolic function and all physical capabilities, unlocking humanity's peak potential."
"Super-Soldier Serum? It seems Hydra values you highly."
Han Shaoqing wasn't surprised that Luther had joined Hydra and gained such prominence.
