"You mean the cosmic microwave background radiation"

"Not that. Tell me Dr. Ziegler, what happens when a person is exposed to nuclear radiation."

"This must be discussed in combination with the intensity of radiation, the site of contact and the time of exposure, but it can also be roughly described. If the intensity of nuclear radiation is quite high, then human cells will be burned to death at the molecular level and then slowly melt Lose."

"What if the radiation is weaker?"

"If it is weaker, it will still damage DNA. Errors in cell division can lead to cancer, or disorders of the hematopoietic system can lead to fatal blood diseases."

"Then what if it were weaker or much weaker?"

"But as long as the exposure time is long enough, you mean the radiation is weakened far enough to cause disease."

"After World War II, mutants began to appear in front of people's eyes, and appeared all over the world. Is there anything that humans have only then begun to have that can have an impact on a global scale? Their number is also showing a gradually increasing trend, especially It was from the 70s to the [-]s when countries with nuclear weapons frequently conducted nuclear tests. There were enough mutants born in that era to form a school."

"I remember that school, the name was Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters." Palmer said excitedly: "The teachers and students in that school formed a special forces. I used to admire them. They can even fly out of the atmosphere. Astronaut rescued from space shuttle"

"Doctor Strange, what you are saying is that humankind's application of nuclear technology has increased the intensity of background radiation on the planet, which has led to an increase in the probability of mutants appearing in the population." Angel was shocked and planned to ask about the X-War later. Police matter.

"Professional and insightful summary. You were never this smart before, Ziegler. I kind of hope that smart Chinese girl doesn't disappear."

"But the essence of nuclear radiation is also ionizing radiation that is widely present in nature. Before the invention of the atomic bomb, humans may have also experienced a period when the background radiation intensity became higher, such as a sunspot or supernova explosion, or the arrival of a meteorite with strong radiation. Earth, an earthquake exposed radioactive minerals on the surface"

"You are right. Based on this hypothesis, mutants may have appeared accidentally in the long history of mankind. It may be that mutants were not recorded because of the inconvenient flow of information in the past; or the essence of the legends that have been handed down is That’s the story of mutants.”

"I think Professor

"So, there is no news about mutants. Is it because humans no longer conduct nuclear tests frequently that their number has decreased?" Angel asked Strange again.

"Many people think so too, but there is a flaw in this line of thinking."

"have flaws"

"April 1986, 4, Chernobyl, Pripyat, Kiev Oblast, Soviet Ukraine."

“The Soviet Union filled it with human lives.”

"There is no other way." Strange shook his head gently, "The Federal Republic of Germany's moon rover cannot do it, nor can the invulnerable mutants. Only the great and noble spirit of sacrifice can. This is what the United States lacks at the moment. Things. Having said that, because the nuclear reactor was exposed for a long time, that incident was worth hundreds of nuclear explosions in the atmosphere. According to previous thinking, the number of mutants should surge in the 90s and [-]s, but "

"But it seems that from then on, there were fewer and fewer mutants," Palmer added.

"Dr. Strange, I don't understand."

"A reasonable guess is that, just like FM radio or MRI, there is a frequency band or threshold for human genes to become mutants when they are radiated. If the radiation intensity is lower than or higher than a certain range, it will not produce such a result. The result. And that nuclear leak caused the global background radiation to exceed this possible range."

"But many years have passed since Chernobyl."

"22."

"There are only one or two countries left in the world that are still trying nuclear tests."

“Luckily they’re all on the other side of the Pacific.”

"Then the so-called background radiation should be decreasing year by year, and sooner or later it will return to the range of this assumption."

"So we need to verify whether this hypothesis is correct or not."

"It depends on whether mutants will appear on the world stage again in the near future." Following Strange's prompts, Angel slowly said this sentence.

"This expression is very imprecise, but it can be said to be a bit romantic."

"So Doctor Palmer, what happened to the mutant school?" Angel asked the female doctor who had just turned into a "fanatic fan".

"That was in 1992, shortly after the astronauts who rescued Endeavor were commended by the President. One night, half of the earth's night sky suddenly became as bright as day, as if there was some accident within them. Several Queen Professor Charles Xavier announced the closure of the X Academy for no reason, and the X-Men were disbanded. That should be the last news that people knew about mutants. As I just said, they are very good at hiding themselves. but"

"but what"

"One day in 1995, just like that night, there was a strong but brief flash in the sky. I don't know if it was related to mutants. After that, local wars and economic crises, the world has been completely controlled by the general public. People’s lives are getting further and further away from bizarre events and becoming more and more ordinary.”

"So many things in ancient and modern times are all made up of jokes." An Qi tried to translate a poem in English.

"I have never heard this sentence before. Is this also a Chinese poem?" Strange was very interested. "Ziegler, if we talk for a while longer, I'm really afraid that you will no longer be so Chinese when you wake up after a break. melted."

"As you wish, Doctor Strange." Angel smiled, "Can you tell me what you think about mutants? Do you think they are diseases caused by radiation like cancer?"

"What do you think I am, illiterate?" Strange looked a little surprised. "Hitler killed many homosexuals in Europe. However, the proportion of homosexuals in the population did not decrease. Just like there must be someone in the crowd who likes it. Blue and some people like red, homosexuality is an inevitable and necessary part of human beings and other species. To say there is something wrong with homosexuality is as ridiculous as saying Claude Monet had blue disease. They are one of us. members. The same is true for mutants. Like us, they are born from people of all colors and come from all corners of the world. Some of them have saved the world, and some have assassinated presidents; just like our Fleming invented penicillin , and our Princip killed Archduke Ferdinand. They are part of humanity, they are part of us."

"I kind of understand what you like about him." Angie grabbed and shook Palmer's hand.

"You two have talked enough," Palmer responded helplessly, "Angela, you have to rest. You have a practical exam tomorrow. Oh, by the way, you can apply to postpone the exam, and I will help."

"I don't need to defer the exam, thank you, Dr. Palmer."

"You are sure that this is the last step of the medical qualification examination. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most critical examination in your medical career."

"I am sure that whether it is Angela or Qi Anqi, I am ready. I feel that I now have the knowledge reserve of two people."

"Qi Anqi"

"Oh, I forgot to mention just now, Anqi is my first name and Qi is my last name."

"As far as I know, Chinese people generally don't ignore their surnames." Strange walked closer and stared at An Qi with suspicion.

“Is it okay because I don’t want to mention it because my first name with my last name sounds like my ex-wife in Chinese” I’ve had enough”

"Hahaha, wife, hahahaha." The two of them laughed loudly in front of An Qi without concealing it. She immediately missed her senior brothers and sisters. In comparison, the senior brothers and sisters were simply small pioneers of civilization.

"Leave me alone." An Qi pounded the bed with both hands, but she still hadn't fully recovered her strength and couldn't compete with the other two's voices, so she raised the quilt to cover herself.

"Okay, let's go first, little angel." An Qi felt Palmer's hug under the quilt, "Rest assured, don't worry about the exam, I'm going to deal with the police first, my ex~wife~"

Angie pushed Palmer away through the quilt, turned her back and ignored her, then pricked up her ears and began to eavesdrop.

"Stephen, what's the name of that police officer?"

"Brett Mahoney, he said he was going to contact other parts of the government to investigate. I don't know what's going on now."

"I'm still not reassured. Angela's condition makes me feel so good that it's a little abnormal."

When the door closed, An Qi withdrew her attention, smothered in the quilt, staring at the light that danced on her fingertips as her thoughts moved in front of her.

“It seems,” An Qi sighed, “The Phoenix Force really brought a DC fan to the world of Marvel.

"But what does it matter? They and we are all the same."
