The 'Monkey Version Muscle Enhancing Shoes' had an unexpectedly good effect.
Although their output was far less than the genuine Power Enhancing Shoes, they were very stable, caused no muscle damage, and consumed very little energy since they only stimulated muscles with electrical currents.
'If I could develop them into a full set of armor, perhaps I could produce a batch of weakened super soldiers!'
The main reason Luca had this idea was that he had also been targeted by the Military recently.
Tony's Mark Armor had never been released, and he only made an excuse to give one set to his good friend, Colonel Rhodes.
The Military was naturally envious.
And Luca's Erha Armor had shined brightly in the second Battle of New York, so the Military would naturally not miss such an opportunity to enhance their strength.
However, after several private contacts, Luca quoted an exorbitant price, which put them off.
However, this was only a temporary measure. Although Orange Industries was currently on the rise and was even about to establish a group.
But after all, it was different from Stark Industries; currently, it did not have the confidence to completely disregard the Military and Congress.
Originally, Luca wanted to try to create a'Simplified Youth Mini Version' and sell it at a high price to the Military to make a profit, but now he had the idea of the 'Monkey Version Muscle Enhancing Armor'.
'Don't the Military like to create super soldiers? Although mine isn't a serum-enhanced artificial muscleman, the demonstrated effects are quite similar~'
Inside the Villa bedroom.
Shirley was injecting Gina with medicine.
Yes, the targeted drug that Luca had been longing for was finally developed.
And because of Shirley's involvement, the original drug was even slightly improved, making its effects even better.
After all, the drugs recorded in Harro's data were only regular drugs openly sold in that World.
Luca was not spending money to develop this thing to sell for profit. If improvements could be made specifically, he would naturally not refuse.
"If the drug is continuously injected daily, the patient is estimated to regain consciousness after 30 days, and fully recover in about 50 days."
While assisting Harro with the examination, Shirley gave her judgment.
Luca also breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Harro, don't go to the lab for a while. Stay here and take good care of Gina, making sure nothing unexpected happens."
"Okay, Luca." (●—●)
For Harro, it didn't matter where it worked, so it readily agreed.
But in fact, there wasn't much work for it to do there anyway. Orange Industries currently had little influence in the pharmaceutical field, and in the U.S., you couldn't just casually make a new drug in a lab and expect it to sell well.
Even if you developed a miracle drug for cancer, using it privately was fine, but if you wanted to put it on the market...
The suppression from pharmaceutical giants, the covetousness of capital, the scrutiny of the drug administration, and the slandering and refusal to use by major hospitals—these stakeholders would always use various methods to force you to compromise.
Luca was confident that he could solve all these problems little by little, but Orange Industries currently didn't have so much focus on this.
After the targeted drug for Gina was finalized, the only project in that pharmaceutical laboratory was to improve 'APTX4869'.
And even this was just Luca trying to find something for the idle Shirley to do.
Shirley naturally had no objection to this.
Not to mention that the large group of Harro robots Luca had equipped the medical laboratory with could also assist in analyzing and processing problems. Even she herself still needed to supplement some medical knowledge of this World during this time and temporarily had no time to replicate the vast amount of advanced drugs in Harro's database.
However, after finishing Gina's examination, Shirley looked back at Luca and said in a cool tone,
"Someone contacted me privately yesterday, seemingly wanting to recruit me to work for them."
"Huh?"
Luca, who had been lost in thought, immediately snapped back when he heard this and looked at Shirley with some confusion.
"How many days have you been in the lab? Someone is already trying to poach you?"
Shirley: "They probably think I led the development of the targeted melting drug."
Speaking of the pharmaceutical laboratory Luca himself had established, let alone any achievements or reputation, it didn't even have many members. Apart from a few scattered assistants and ordinary employees, most of the work was handled by Harro.
For Shirley to be targeted even with this, it was obvious who was behind the attempt to recruit her.
"Norman is quite well-informed."
"The other party did not reveal their identity, and even their recruitment tone was quite subtle, probably because of my surname, thinking I had some special relationship with you."
Upon hearing Shirley's words, Luca, who had been secretly slandering Norman Osborn in his heart, immediately darkened his expression.
Speaking of Shirley's surname, one has to mention what happened a few days ago when Luca asked Samira to arrange an identity for Shirley.
The original Shiho Miyano wanted to change her name to Shirley, and Luca naturally had no objection to this.
At the time, busy testing the gains from the Dream World, he didn't even pay much attention to this matter.
But to obtain an identity, just a name was certainly not enough.
These two women, when together, somehow decided to register Shirley's name as'Shirley Orange'.
This move left Luca dumbfounded for a long time after he came out of the lab.
Coupled with their very similar chestnut hair.
After a few days of work, Luca inexplicably gained an 'older sister'?
However, since things had come to this, there wasn't much point in going through the trouble again.
According to Samira, in the past, this would be called granting a surname to a vassal.
Luca simply held his nose and accepted it.
However...
"Since the other party already thinks you are a member of the Orange Family, and they haven't given up on trying to recruit you, it seems Norman Osborn is indeed getting a bit restless."
Speaking of Norman Osborn, his desire to conduct this drug trial, like Luca, was not essentially for the profits that the finished drug could bring.
After all, there were probably fewer than a hundred patients with similar conditions worldwide, and most of them either had no capital or had mild conditions that didn't affect daily life and had simply given up on treatment.
The fact that Norman Osborn was so anxious could only mean that his wife's condition was close to critical, and the portion of data Luca had sent earlier had been confirmed by him to indeed have some effect on Mrs. Osborn's symptoms.
That's why, after failing to contact Luca, he chose to poach privately.
However, since it was only an attempt to poach, and not a direct personal'snatching', it probably meant it wasn't a matter of life and death yet.
"It seems I need to find an opportunity to contact him, otherwise, a good opportunity to bestow a favor might directly turn into an enmity."
"Samira, I remember the ribbon-cutting for Orange Family Materials is the day after tomorrow, right? Please send an invitation to Mr. Norman as well~"
