America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

“Eunuch,” the old man said.

"Are you sure you want to discuss this issue here?" Pharaoh Akhamra asked.

Ancient Egypt also had eunuchs.

In the display case next to him, Sakagavia gently patted the glass with his palm. The glass was soundproof, and no one outside the display case except Li Qun could hear Sakagavia's voice at all.

“She wanted to come out,” Li Qun said.

“Unfortunately, that won’t work. She’ll have to break this thing to get out.” Akamara tapped lightly on the glass.

"What's that over there?" Dad pointed to an open booth in the distance.

“It’s a scene from the construction of America’s first railroad that crossed the Eastern Front,” Li Qun replied.

The old man went over again.

When the Chinese laborers crossed the ocean from the Qing Dynasty to build railroads in America, it was during the American Civil War, and at that time, my father was still serving as an Indian chief.

"Good evening, Jedi," Li Qun greeted the cowboy figure leading the booth.

"Hey!! Watch out behind you!!" Cowboy Jedidia shouted to Liqun.

"What's behind...?"

Li Qun turned around and saw a large group of people charging towards the intersection of the European and American pavilions. It was Octavian leading the entire Roman legionary phalanx in an attack.

"Kill this giant!!"

Octavian pointed his sword at Liqun and shouted loudly. Roman soldiers set up war machines and shot arrows and threw stones at Liqun.

"How did you offend them?" the old man asked Liqun.

"Perhaps I took sides when I tried to break up the fight last night," Liqun said to his father.

"Brothers, charge! For our giant friends!!" The cowboys on the platform followed Jedidia and charged towards the Roman army.

They are all plastic figures. Although they behave like living people after being resurrected, they are essentially made of plastic, which allows them to exhibit superhuman physical abilities.

The mini-Roman legion, outnumbered and powerful, quickly captured the indestructible cowboys alive.

To showcase the power of the Roman Empire a thousand years ago, the museum used miniature figures a hundred times larger than those used to build the western railway to create the scenes.

Li Qun extended a finger and pressed "Gaius Octavius ​​Augustus" to the ground, causing the Roman soldiers to release the cowboys and stop the fighting.

“They only obey my orders, ha ha!” Octavian shouted to Liqun.

“I don’t think so. Actually, it’s because they don’t understand,” the old man said.

"Stop, soldiers," the old man said in Latin.

Octavian's face tightened; his "secret" of commanding the Roman legions had been discovered by the "giants."

Octavian could communicate with others in English, while his Roman legionary soldiers could only communicate in Latin and Greek.

"Dad, you can speak Latin too!!" Li Qun exclaimed in shock.

"I learned a little bit before," Dad replied with a smile.

The father then made a Roman courtly gesture towards Octavian, who responded with a stiff face.

"A Qin person?" Octavian asked his father.

“That’s right.” Dad nodded with a smile.

His father spoke Old Latin, which was taught to him by a scholar who had accompanied the young Roman prince who had fled to the Silk Road.

The old man spoke with Octavian in Latin and then gave a speech to the Roman legions.

The content of the speech was all old rhetoric, things he used to say every day along the Silk Road: peaceful coexistence, equality among all ethnic groups, and so on.

After the old man finished his speech, the Roman soldiers used Roman daggers to untie the cowboys, and they cheered loudly.

Teddy Roosevelt glanced at his father, then at Li Qun, reinforcing his stereotype that all Aurora Borealis were diplomats and military leaders.

"Rogues shouldn't fight armies; they'll usually lose." The old man turned to the cowboys and lectured them.

“Times have changed! We have guns!” Jedidia shouted to his father, raising his mini revolver.

"Why must we fight?" the old man asked.

"I just can't stand the attitude of these Europeans!"

"A fool exiled to the sea!"

Cowboy Jedi Diaz and Octavian start bickering again.

"Is there a French part here?" the old man asked.

“If this were a war history museum,” Li Qun replied.

“Mr. Theodore, do you know the Founding Father of the United States?” Li Qun turned to President Teddy and asked.

"Of course I know."

Louis XVI.

"Uh...that's what the textbook says?" Teddy Roosevelt hesitated, then stopped himself from speaking.

"Just kidding, just kidding!" Li Qun laughed.

"Whatever Britain opposes, France must support." Roosevelt smiled.

Chapter 62 Osborn's Secret Research

The Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton placed its ribs at Li Qun's feet, wanting to play a bone-collecting game with him.

Li Qun picked up the rib and threw it forcefully. The Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton took steps to chase after its own rib.

"It's not like a resurrected Tyrannosaurus Rex, it's more like a dog's soul stuffed into a skeleton."

The white marble lion yawned beside Li Qun's legs while his father was still visiting the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

Because he had slept in beforehand, Li Qun was in pretty good spirits; he was energetic enough to stay awake until sunrise.

Meanwhile, in the Osborne Industrial Park, Norman Osborne was sipping an espresso to perk himself up.

This was also a sleepless night for him.

The military convoy drove into the Osborn Industrial Park, and under the watchful eyes of heavily armed American soldiers, the goods were carefully unloaded from the military trucks. Generals Norman and Ross watched the entire unloading process intently.

Norman Osborn collaborated with the U.S. military, represented by General Ross, on a "secret" experiment, which required the goods to be transported secretly to a secret research facility in the Osborn Industrial Park under the cover of night.

After all the goods were unloaded, General Ross solemnly handed the cargo manifest to Norman Osborne, instructing Norman to carefully check whether there were any omissions or errors in the manifest and the actual goods delivered.

Norman Osborne did not smile at all.

This collaboration with the military is another project that Stark Industries didn't want, while other large companies either lack the technology or the funds.

Although it's called a collaboration, the military only provides funding; Osborne Industries has to handle everything else on its own.

The military's funding is also paid in installments, and if the project does not progress well, it may be cut in half.

"They're all here."

Norman signed his name on the list, and General Ross followed suit.

“I look forward to the day the project succeeds.” General Ross extended his hand to Norman Osborn, and the two clasped hands under the searchlight.

"Let's grab a drink sometime," Ross said to Norman.

"Let's talk about it when we have time."

The two men released each other, and General Ross put on his camouflage sun hat and walked towards the jeep. The soldiers got into the vehicles one by one, and the military convoy quickly formed a formation and left Osborn Industries.

Norman and his men began working, carefully arranging the goods one by one.

Piles of research data were moved into the secret research room, sophisticated instruments were set up, circuits were connected and tested, and research samples were carefully placed in storage cabinets...

The empty laboratory was filled with people. Norman's eyes were bloodshot as he held the research materials provided by the military and began to read through "The Super Soldier Project".

"Boom!"

Norman turned to look at the laboratory animal, a mutated giant python from the Amazon rainforest.

The last time the newspapers reported on the U.S. military's secret military operation deep in the Amazon rainforest, it was for these mutated giant pythons.

Deep in the rainforest, the U.S. military captured more than ten giant pythons, each over ten meters long, and also discovered the mysterious blood orchid that caused the pythons to mutate.

Military scientists analyzed the DNA of the mutated giant pythons and preliminary analysis revealed that the pythons had activated some special genes, exhibiting atavism, which helped them occupy a top position in the harsh ecosystem of the rainforest.

Norman Osborn got up and injected a specially formulated sedative into the mutated python's incubator to calm it down.

Having been moved to a new living environment, this mutated giant python was somewhat stressed and kept pacing around inside the giant enclosure.

The tranquilizer took effect quickly, and the python fell into a deep sleep.

Norman looked at the dark green mutated python and felt his hands trembling slightly.

If this giant python were to break free of its enclosure, it could swallow him whole in one gulp.

The information provided by the military also included various ways in which American soldiers died while capturing mutated giant pythons in the rainforest, which made Norman shudder.

Norman Osborne was secretly relieved that his main research subject was not the terrifying mutated giant python, but the blood orchid that caused the giant python to undergo genetic mutation.

In Norman's eyes, the Amazon rainforest anaconda was a primitive, savage, cold-blooded reptile.

The mutated rainforest python has a more vigorous aggressive instinct, and will attack any animal it senses even when it does not need food.

"Is this the mutated giant python worth six million?"

Dr. Strom, the chief scientist at Osborne, stood in front of the incubator, adjusted his glasses, and gently tapped the transparent, ultra-high-intensity observation window with his knuckles.

“I just took some tranquilizers,” Norman said, turning to Dr. Storm.

“Where do we begin?” Strom asked Norman.

"Let's finish reading the military's past research materials first."

Storm frowned, walked to the table, sat down, and picked up a document to read. The document was filled with blacked-out words, indicating that the military had withheld some information from them.

“Well, the military’s experiments have stalled at the human trial stage, the project has come to a standstill, and now we’re taking over.” Dr. Storm looked up at Norman.

“Norman, how dare you?” Dr. Storm asked.

“Without doing this, we cannot obtain other military orders; this is a condition,” Norman replied calmly.
