Zhang Cheng ignored the almost frozen expression on the old man's face, and casually pressed the power start button.

Moment!

The previously dormant base suddenly came to life, with various lighting facilities and advanced electronic equipment activated.

In particular, the 3D projection technology from the Marvel Universe, as well as the artificial intelligence designed by Iron Man himself, almost made Leonid jump in fright.

"Good afternoon, sir, it is an honor to serve you. "Artificial intelligence appears in the hall in a blurry projection.

"Good afternoon, X. Let me introduce you to this gentleman next to me, whose name is Leonid, and from now on he is the second person besides me that you need to obey 100%, and who is responsible for providing remote support and advice to him and his men. Zhang Cheng gave the order straightforwardly.

After all, he is not one of those children who likes to be startled, so he will not think of artificial intelligence as a real human, so he doesn't need to think about superfluous things such as so-called "feelings" at all, just give orders.

"Understood! Facial recognition import, iris recognition import, fingerprint recognition import! Level 2 permissions have been entered. Hello, Mr. Leonid, I'm X and it's a great pleasure to work with you. The AI took the initiative to introduce itself briefly.

"O my God! you ...... You're an artificial intelligence?!How is this possible!" The old man's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

As an intelligence worker, he couldn't believe that with the technological strength of the current world, anyone could create such a realistic and logical artificial intelligence.

What shocked him even more was that the secret base was unbelievably large, with enough weapons and equipment piled up in the corners to arm a regular army of more than 30,000 men, and there was even a series of production lines of bullets, shells, guns and explosives next door, which could be produced as long as raw materials were available.

"Yes, sir, please don't doubt it, I'm an AI-assisted program. X obviously does not have the ability to lie, and gives an affirmative answer without thinking.

Leonid stood still and forced himself to calm down for a few minutes, then quickly raised his head and asked in a tone of extreme eagerness: "How did you get these things?" I dare to swear, even the most advanced scientific research institutions in the United States will never reach such an advanced level. There is no doubt that you have the technology in your hands that is more than two decades ahead of the world. Also, where is this base located? Is it in danger of being exposed?"

"I'm sorry, I can't explain where the equipment came from, but I can tell you where the base is. It is located beneath an uninhabited desert island in the South Pacific, with no sea or air routes passing through it, and no U.S. military bases or radar stations nearby. At the bottom are several permanent portals that can transport you and your people to any corner of the world. As for those planes, they all take off and land vertically, and each one has two functions: radar stealth and visual stealth. That is, you can drive it into the airspace of any country without worrying about being detected. On top of that, there's a very advanced polygraph that can help you 100% tell who you can trust and who is a traitor. How's that, are you happy with that?"

Obviously, Zhang Cheng put all the things he got from Hydra and the things he got from trading with S.H.I.E.L.D. here.

"Yes, of course! I promise that with this, it won't be long before you have the most powerful intelligence agency in the world. ”

When he said this, Leonid's eyes revealed strong ambition and desire.

Zhang Cheng quickly sensed this and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! Remember your promise! I am a person who only looks at the results and does not care about the process, so you had better do what you say." In a little while, I'll launch a couple of multi-purpose private satellites, and you'll have communications and surveillance systems that will never be heard around the world. Now I'm going to give you the first task, to get as many texts and images as possible of each country about this region of the Atlantic. You have about four months or so. ”

With that, he shoved a simple map, covered in shadows, into the old man's hand.

The latter took it and glanced at it a few times, and replied without hesitation: "No problem! Four months is enough." But before I can take action, I need you to give me a little time to reassemble the team. With two billion dollars a year and the advanced equipment in this base, there is no intelligence agency in the world that can be our opponent. ”

Ambition and desire are a good thing, and they are one of the driving forces behind human progress. Like I mentioned before, I don't care about the process, whether you sell arms, smuggle drugs, buy and sell intelligence, or directly intervene in the mercenary industry to infiltrate and subvert the regime of certain countries, that's your business. But one thing, don't make too much of a mess, I don't want to wipe your ass, understand?" Zhang Chengcheng warned.

"Understood, if I still need your help after this, it would be a little too incompetent. The corners of Leonid's mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.

"Oh, I almost forgot. In order to enable you to work better, I am going to give you a small gift at the end. ”

The words just fell!

Zhang Cheng suddenly stretched out a finger and tapped lightly on the other party's forehead.

In the blink of an eye, a faint magic mark slowly emerged, followed by the old man's appearance began to become younger, from seventy years old to early fifty years old in one breath.

Feeling the rejuvenation of the original aging organs, Leonid's pupils contracted violently, raised his head and said tentatively in a not very sure tone: "What have you done to me?"

"It's simple! I have given you a new life and extended your life. As long as your productivity satisfies me, I don't have to worry about dying of aging. But if I find out that one day you have betrayed me, then this little thing left in your soul will suck up all the life force. ”

"Magic, I see!" Leonid nodded thoughtfully, showing neither surprise nor the slightest hint of resistance.

Because he knew that this was a means of controlling himself, and it was not much different in essence from the previous KGB controlling his spies and agents.

In comparison, this type of control is already quite gentle, and it gains an extra lifespan, and even has a feeling that it has been earned.

"Okay, let's stop our conversation for today, you can directly ask X for information about the use of various facilities and equipment in this underground base. Don't worry about electricity and energy, the underground oil depot stores enough gasoline for you to last twenty years, and electricity is generated in a way you can't understand and will never run out. After I go back, I will take a contact person to New York as soon as possible, and I will not contact you directly unless necessary, but through him or her......"
