Chapter 957: The key to creating Ultron, armoring the Earth

“Banner, Dr. Cho is coming from Seoul.

Can you let her set up the operating table in your laboratory?" Tony asked while flying the plane.

"Yes, she knows what to do."

"Thank you! Let her prepare everything. Barton needs comprehensive treatment this time."

"Okay, sir."

"Jarvis, you drive."

"Yes, sir," Jarvis said, switching to the AI ​​autopilot, "Heading locked."

Tony left his seat and walked over to the Mind Scepter, where Steve and Thor were observing it.

“Feels good, right!

You have been tracking its whereabouts since the collapse of SHIELD." Tony said, "I am very happy to raid the base with you guys, but..."

"That's right, but...now that we've found this, the matter is over." Thor smiled with relief.

"All that's left is to figure out what it's used for," Steve said. "Not just weapons, but when did Strucker come up with an ability enhancer?

Aaron, do you know anything about them?"

"Uh... I don't really know anything." Aaron shrugged and said frankly, "I just did a divination on a whim.

The revelation of fate allowed me to see her, and my intuition as a fortune teller told me to protect her, but I didn't expect that she would be a superpowered person from the Hydra organization."

"Not necessarily." Steve said, "Their abilities were obtained through human experiments on this scepter. Hydra's human experiments don't care whether the subjects are willing or not."

"Before sending the scepter back to Asgard, Banner and I will examine him, okay?" Stark said somewhat insincerely, "I mean... there are still a few days before the farewell party.

You came to the farewell party, right? "

"Yes, of course, victory should be celebrated with revelry."

"Yeah! Who doesn't like to party? What about you, Captain?"

"Hopefully this is all over with the Chitauri and Hydra stuff.

Of course, partying is also important.”

......

A few hours later, the plane landed on top of Stark Tower.

Hill and Dr. Zhao, who had a fresh face, a slender figure, and exuded a pure aura that was not tainted by dust, were standing here waiting.

The gangway had just been lowered, and Natasha and Banner worked with several employees to push the stretcher carrying Patton over.

"Transfuse blood immediately and give me some cell samples."

"Okay, Doctor."

"Who is that female doctor?" Aaron asked with interest, "I think she looks familiar. I seem to have seen her somewhere."

"Dr. Zhao Helen." Tony looked at Aaron teasingly and said, "Why? Are you attracted to her?

The restless youth! I understand.

But I still want to advise you that Dr. Zhao has very high standards, and I was rejected at first."

"Am I as superficial as you?"

"I'm superficial?" Tony curled his lips in disdain, as if thinking of a joke. "As far as I know, you have at least two girlfriends. How can you say that?"

"At least I'm better than someone who, at my age, had dated at least 80, if not 100, girls."

Tony was stunned for a moment, "Who are you looking down on?"

Aaron:......

Damn! Evil capitalists.

But then again, he seems to have more capital than Tony Stark now, with an entire planet of people working for him.

"The lab has been set up, boss." Hill, dressed in a professional suit, walked into the plane and said.

"Actually, he's the boss." Tony pointed at Steve, "I'm just in charge of the checkout, designing everything, and making everyone look cool."

"Agent Hill, why are you working for Stark Group?" Aaron asked in confusion, "It's Nick Fury's undercover mission."

Hill rolled his eyes and said speechlessly: "How can you go undercover when you know everything about me?

This joint operation of the Avengers was organized by Fury because it involved Loki's scepter."

"That's not necessary..."

“It’s not necessary, but I don’t want to make it official.

Give me a break! There are so many things to deal with after the Civil War in SHIELD, and Fury is using me like three people."

"I'll sympathize with you for a second."

"Uh...thank you!"

"Any news about Stark?" Steve asked.

"It's at NATO!"

"What about the two ability enhancers?"

"Wanda Maximoff and Pete Maximoff, they are twins." Hill opened his tablet as he walked out of the plane and played the video of them participating in the parade. "When they were ten years old, a bomber destroyed their home and they became orphans."

“Sokovia has a difficult history and is a mundane place, but its location is important.”

"What are they capable of?"

“Pietro has a fast metabolism and excellent temperature control.

Wanda's specialty is interfering with nerve conduction, and she has telekinesis and mind control abilities."

Steve looked at her somewhat bewilderedly, as he did not quite understand some of the professional terms.

"The former is fast, the latter is weird."

"They will show up again."

"Agreed, the documents say they volunteered to let Strucker do the experiment."

"What?" Aaron was stunned. "What did you say? Voluntary?"

"Yes."

"Alas!" Aaron held his head and shook his head, "Things are a bit troublesome."

"What trouble?"

"He's interested in Wanda from the twins, but what kind of monster would allow Hydra to experiment on him?"

Aaron smiled bitterly and said with some tiredness: "It's not too difficult to bring back a war orphan who needs power, but it's not so easy to deal with a war orphan who has gained power."

"Good luck." Tony patted Aaron's shoulder with a gloating look, "The party is on Saturday, remember to come."

......

"JARVIS, it's game time." Tony came to Loki's scepter, "This toy can only be played with for a few days, we must make good use of it.

Shows the latest structural composition analysis."

"The scepter is of alien origin, and there are some elements I cannot identify."

"So there are still elements that can be confirmed?"

"The gem seems to be a protective shield, protecting the things inside. Its power is very strong."

Tony poured a drink, "Something like a reactor?"

"Similar to a computer, I should be deciphering a code."

Tony thought for a moment, then went to Banner's laboratory with his drink.

This place was converted into an operating room. Patton was lying on the experimental table. The instrument emitted a light blue light and continuously scanned and repaired his wound.

"Are you sure he'll be okay?" Natasha asked worriedly, "We're united by pretending to need him."

"Don't worry, there's no chance that his wound will get worse." Zhao Hailun smiled confidently, "The function of the nanomolecules will take effect instantly, and the cells in his body will slowly form virtual connections."

"She is in artificial biological tissue." Banner explained succinctly.

"If you go directly to my lab, it can be done in twenty minutes in the regeneration cradle."

At this time, Tony came in with a few drinks, glanced at Barton and said half-jokingly: "He is going to die. Announce it. What is the time of death?"

"No, no, no, I want to be immortal." Patton said with a smile, "I will become a plastic man."

“You’re still made of your own cells, Mr. Barton.

Your girlfriend won’t know the difference.”

"It's a pity that I don't have a girlfriend."

"Then I can't help it." Zhao Hailun said, "This is the new generation of technology Tony, your bulky metal armor will be eliminated."

"This is exactly the effect I want. I have already included new technology in my plan, but it will take some time.

By the way, Dr. Helen, I hope you can come to the party on Saturday."

"I'm not like you. I don't have time to attend any parties." Zhao Hailun paused and asked awkwardly, "Is Thor going?"

"Go, he promised to go himself." Tony raised his eyebrows and smiled. He didn't expect that Zhao Helen liked the macho type of Thor. He had been planning to introduce him to Aaron, but now it seems that's not necessary.

"Dr. Banner, would you mind coming out for a moment?"

"Convenient." Banner didn't care and followed Tony to his laboratory.

"what happened?"

“About the scepter.

We were wondering why Strucker could create so many things, so I asked Jarvis to analyze the gem on the scepter. "Tony said, picking up the tablet on the table and tapping the computer screen, and then tapping the empty space next to it, "You may recognize it."

An orange-red light ball with a diameter of nearly two meters and full of technological style suddenly appeared. The inside of the light ball was full of rules and boxes, like a precision machine that was constantly running.

"Jarvis?"

"Doctor." Jarvis' voice came from the ball of light.

"At first Jarvis was just a human-computer interface, now he's in charge of the entire Iron Legion.

Apart from Pepper, it handles the most transactions.

Cutting-edge technology, a master.”

"Yes."

"It shouldn't be long." There was a hint of shame in Jarvis' calm tone.

"Let's take a look at the competitors." Tony touched the interface of the Mind Scepter with the tablet and teleported it next to Jarvis.

A blue light ball with a diameter of more than several meters appeared next to the orange-red light ball, forming a sharp contrast with it, and they were completely not on the same level.

"It's so beautiful." Banner couldn't help but exclaim.

"I'll give you a chance. Guess what it's doing?"

"Like it's thinking." Banner looked at the center of the blue ball of light that was operating like a brain, and said without hesitation, then added carefully, "This is like... it doesn't look like a human brain.

I mean, like neurons firing.”

“In Strack’s lab, I saw a lot of pretty advanced robots.

They deleted all the data, but I dare say their research direction is very clear.”

Banner frowned slightly, "You mean artificial intelligence?"

"That's it, Banner," Tony said eagerly, "This could be the key to creating Ultron."

"I thought Ultron was just a fantasy."

"It was yesterday, but what if we can harness this power and use it on the Iron Legion?"

"What if? That's a hypothetical assumption that defies heaven."

"Our mission is to realize this 'if'." Tony patiently advised, "What if you get tanned instead of green while drinking margaritas on the sunny beach? You don't have to be careful about Veronica."

"I designed Veronica for you."

"It's the worst-case scenario, right? What about the best-case scenario?

What if the world is at peace? What if aliens come to invade the earth next time and can't even get past the gatekeepers?"

"Then the only threat to the Earth is humans."

"I want to apply this to the Ultron project." Tony said bluntly, "But Jarvis can't download such high-density data, and the scepter must be here to do it.

Just three days, give me three days."

"So you want to explore the field of artificial intelligence, but you don't want to report to the team?" Banner asked with a smile.

“That’s exactly right, you know why?

Because we don't have time for an election debate, I don't want to hear any of that 'humans shouldn't meddle with nature' bullshit, I'm going to put on armor for the world."

"What a cruel world it is, Tony."

"I've seen crueler ones. This fragile blue planet needs Ultron." Tony said in a deep voice. Originally, he didn't want to develop artificial intelligence so hastily, but the scene he saw in Sokovia before became his nightmare.

The Avengers won the Battle of New York, but it was a hard-won victory. Even so, a large number of civilian casualties were caused.

But what if they lose? The Avengers die tragically, the Earth falls, and humanity is extinct...

It is enough to see such a scene once. What he has to do is to try his best to prevent it from becoming a reality. Therefore, it is necessary to create the artificial intelligence Ultron. The earth needs such a gatekeeper.

Banner looked at Tony seriously and finally decided to help him.

......

Gaius Divination House.

Aaron brought Abe back home and saw Hela's teasing look as soon as he entered the door.

"You didn't bring Scarlet Witch back?"

"It's obvious."

"That shouldn't be the case! She is no match for you!"

"Don't mention it." Aaron sat on the sofa and waved his hand tiredly, "Something happened. I saw her, but she ran away."

"What accident?"

“She’s in the battleground where the Avengers are fighting Hydra, and she has a twin brother with super speed.

Hmm... it should be the older brother. The data shows that Pietro was born twelve minutes earlier than Wanda. "Aaron smiled helplessly, "It's a chaotic battlefield with so many people and so many eyes. I can't stop them even if I can."

“You are really…” Hela complained speechlessly, “You are too cautious!”

“When driving, it is better to stop for three minutes than to fight for one second.

For me, hiding myself is related to my life and property, so shouldn’t I be more cautious? "

“Tsk! It’s really hard for you to say such high-sounding things.” Hela shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “Yes, we should be cautious. It’s definitely right to be cautious.

But if you would rather stop for three minutes than fight for a second, that would be fine, but you didn't even touch the car.

If you don't go out to do something occasionally, you won't even drive a car, you won't even walk on the road.

The most outrageous thing is that you obviously can drive, and your equipment and skills are world-class.

I have lived for thousands of years, and this is the first time I have met a weirdo like you. The universe is so vast that there are so many weird things. "

Aaron:......

Isn't it just a little bit of a lie? There's no need to elevate it to the level of the universe!
