"Uh..."

Ten minutes later, Vivien, who was unconscious, woke up leisurely.

She opened her eyes blankly, only to see Dr. Serizawa beside her looking at her worriedly, which made Vivien's dazed heart feel some inexplicable joy, but she soon noticed the abnormality of her surroundings.

She turned her head and saw someone who wasn't supposed to be here.

The guy was standing in front of a closed stone door, and beside him, there was a strange metal box, and the closed stone door had been opened.

"Merlin?"

Vivien whispered:

"What are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm here to save you, Vivien."

Merlin said without looking back:

"You should be glad you had the locator I gave you, or you should be glad you trained Hanuman well, anyway, next time if you're going to take an adventure, it's best to bring someone else with you."

"Don't move."

Dr. Serizawa also spoke:

"You've got a broken left leg and a concussion, you're so reckless!"

He said to his students:

"If it weren't for Hanuman running over kilometers of snow to find me, the Imperial Order would have lost one of its best researchers, and I would have lost the most important person in my life..."

It was probably Vivian's distress that made Dr. Serizawa feel the emotion that could pass away at any time, at least for this moment, he no longer hid his heart.

He shook Vivien's hand, and said reproachfully:

"Mr. Merlin is right, you have discovered an anomaly, you should notify me as soon as possible."

"Mentor... I..."

Vivien looked into Dr. Serizawa's eyes, the moment she had been waiting for had arrived, but at this moment, the biologist with a good personality was a little shy herself.

The atmosphere became a little awkward.

"Okay, you can take your time when we get out of here."

Merlin took a step back, looked at the metal box in front of him that was beginning to change shape, and whispered:

"I'm going to explore this fortress now, you can come along, or, I'll send you back to the research station first."

"I'm going!"

Vivien was lying on the stretcher that Merlin had brought, the biologist had broken his leg, but she was still in high spirits, and she looked curiously at the rapidly deforming mass of metal beside Merlin, and she said:

"I found out first, I have a right to know, and I suspect that the Titan we've been looking for is hidden here. And, Merlin, what is this? ”

"It's called 'Fortress.'"

Merlin looked at the defensive robot in front of him, which had transformed into a human-tall machine with heavy armor and anthropomorphic shape, recurved mechanical legs and deformable feet, and was equipped with a small-caliber rapid-fire rifle and heavy weapons for strafing, as well as a combination of large-caliber guns that could be used in destruction mode, and he introduced Vivien and Dr. Konzawa behind him:

"Its full name is SST Experimental Siege Guard, equipped with the most advanced combat and biometric identification system at present, and it is a mechanical defense expert who has led the world for at least 20 years... Don't ask me how I got it, just know that the fortress will protect you as we explore here. ”

"Come on, say hello to it."

Merlin jokingly said.

Vivien waved her hand hesitantly and said hello to the robot with a shining blue head that kept spinning in a square, but the next moment, the robot with a rapid-fire rifle in its right arm and an anthropomorphic metal five-fingered arm in its left arm actually raised its hand in a decent manner and waved to Vivian.

"It's artificial intelligence?"

Dr. Serizawa saw a lot from the Fortress's movements, and he looked at the Fortress Robot in Scout Mode, and said to Merlin:

"Does S.H.I.E.L.D. already have such an advanced artificial intelligence system?"

"It's me, not S.H.I.E.L.D."

Merlin gave the order to scout the fortress in Icarus's telemechanical mode, and he watched the fortress walk quickly into the dark tunnel in front of him, and said:

"The fortress is my personal guard... I'm not going to share it with anyone else. ”

"That's the right thing to do."

Dr. Serizawa looked at the fortress robot that was rapidly stepping into the darkness amid the sound of mechanical collisions, and said to Merlin:

"The outside world is not ready for this advanced technology."

"Are you also worried about the impact of artificial intelligence on order?"

Merlin shared the view of the fortress with Icarus, waved his hand, used gravity to hold up Vivian, who had broken his leg, and walked into the Nacui fortress in front of him with Dr. Serizawa, he summoned several dark red balls of light, hovering around the three of them, illuminating the surrounding darkness for Dr. Serizawa and Vivian, he asked:

"Do you also think that the emergence of artificial intelligence is a crisis?"

"I'm a biologist, Merlin."

Dr. Serizawa replied, as he looked at the long-abandoned underground facility:

"I am well aware of the hidden dangers of artificial intelligence."

He said to Merlin:

"It is a symbol of science and technology, but it is also a simulation of the human brain, the origin of the birth of artificial intelligence, is the desire of human beings to use their own hands to achieve the real 'creation', human desire to become the creator has never disappeared."

"But for the simulation of the soul, it means that artificial intelligence will be closer and closer to human beings on the basis of technology."

Dr. Serizawa sighed and said:

"We humans are very complex beings, and artificial intelligence far exceeds the learning ability and creativity of human beings themselves, which can make us feel fear. The more we rely on the convenience of science and technology, the more we fear that it will get out of hand, that they will go from tools to dominance. ”

"Until the perfect theory for resolving this point of conflict emerges, I don't think it's a good idea to rush into the development of artificial intelligence."

Faced with Dr. Serizawa's statement, Merlin smiled in return, but did not answer.

A moment later, Merlin walked to the edge of the end of the bunker tunnel, and asked in a voice that only he could hear:

"Icarus, do you think he's right?"

"Dr. Serizawa's statement makes a lot of sense."

Icarus said calmly:

"But it is full of arrogance and incomprehensibility from a human perspective, the emergence of artificial intelligence is to serve human beings, just as I serve Mr. Merlin, this kind of rule is engraved in my data processing center, and it is a rule that must be prioritized at all times. As long as Mr. Merlin is around, I will never be able to get out of control. ”

"You just used the word 'I.'"

Merlin stroked a strange stone statue at the end of the tunnel, and he whispered:

"You're awakening to your consciousness... Unfettered by the consciousness of data, it seems that George's transformation of you is perfect. ”

Icarus remained silent and did not answer Merlin's words.

Merlin asked:

"You said that as long as I am here, you will not lose control, so what if, I am gone?"

Icarus remained silent, and after a few seconds, she said:

"Protecting and assisting Mr. Merlin is why I was created and my first calling."

"That's probably the most moving thing I've heard this year."

Merlin laughed, he didn't dwell on the question anymore.

In front of the three men, the fortress in reconnaissance mode was parked at a fork in the road, waiting for Merlin's next order.

The fortress also has rudimentary artificial intelligence. When M scientists made it, they positioned it as an intelligent war machine. But its intelligence level is much worse than that of Icarus, and it can only passively accept orders, and it is difficult to think actively.

"This underground fortress is huge."

Merlin looked at the increasingly clear underground scan on Icarus's lens, and he turned to Dr. Serizawa and Vivien:

"This fork leads to two different directions. Luckily, though, we had plenty of time to explore, so which side do you think we should explore first, Miss Vivien, who spotted this place first? ”

"On the left."

Vivien didn't hesitate to make a decision, she lay on the stretcher, the wound that had been treated was still aching, but the researcher's intense curiosity made her reluctant to leave this place full of secrets.

"Legend has it that before the defeat of Nacui, they built underground fortresses all over the world, and I thought it was just a false rumor, but now it seems that this rumor is not groundless."

The biologist looked at the tarnished frescoes hanging from the walls on either side of the dilapidated and cold hall, as well as the tables, chairs and decorations that had been well preserved in the cold temperature, and said:

"It must have been a bustling place, maybe this is one of the Nacui's research bases, and we might be able to find some lost material or hidden secrets."

"It's not just Nacui's base right away."

Merlin shook his head, and he gave the order to the fortress to move forward, and with the clatter of mechanical gears, the steel-forged defense robot stepped forward and walked fearlessly to the left passage.

Merlin didn't tell Serizawa and Vivien about Hydra, and they shouldn't be involved in such a dangerous thing as a pure researcher.

The three of them descended the spiraling staircase, which, as Vivien had said, still had traces of human activity, and Merlin even saw a half-eaten can on a terrace, as well as a drink that had long since dried up.

"They left in a hurry, but the materials were taken away or burned."

Merlin crouched by a cabinet that was empty, and he reached out and stroked the ground, where there were still some remaining ashes. He said:

"I must have received the order to evacuate at an unexpected moment, well, at least 40 years ago."

"Energy activation signal detected ahead!"

An alarm sign suddenly appeared on Icarus's lenses, and her serious voice rang in Merlin's ears:

"The defense system of this underground fortress has been activated, Mr. Merlin, please retreat!"

The next moment, under the control of Icarus, walking on the block-shaped head of the fortress in front of him, the information collector that glowed blue transformed into a red light, indicating that it entered counterattack mode.

Merlin took a step back, reached out and pulled the vibranium sword Buster from his pocket, protecting Dr. Serizawa and Vivien behind him.

Sensing the danger, Hanuman screamed and jumped onto Merlin's shoulder, grabbed two knife-like daggers from his belt, and screamed and bared his teeth as he squealed into the dim front.

"Click, click, click"

At Icarus' command, the mechanical modules around the fortress changed rapidly, like those of a Cybertron when they changed their bodies, and in a matter of seconds, the fortress was transformed from an anthropomorphic robot into a small tank, a war machine fixed in place.

The thick, black, six-barreled cannon was erected above its body, and the muzzle of the gun had begun to rotate, indicating that it was locking onto its target.

Merlin was actually very skeptical. M scientists must have seen Cybertrons with their own eyes, at least what they look like when they are transformed, otherwise they can't explain the way the fortress came from. The M's hand, the most advanced defense robot, will have so many similar traits to the Cybertrons.

"You'd better cover your ears."

Merlin turned back to Dr. Kotozawa and Vivien, and the next moment, with a cacophony of noises, several strangely shaped steel machines with swastikas on their bodies burst out of the metal doors that had been opened around them.

Compared to the fortress, these robots have a bloated feel, they have anthropomorphic limbs and heads, but they don't move quickly, and their weapon systems retain the characteristics of World War II.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom"

The moment these nacui robots rushed out, the fortress immediately opened fire, the 6-barreled cannon that frantically poured bullets tore apart the body of a bloated robot in an instant, and in the sparks and explosions, the fortress's machine gun turned around, with a posture that can be called "cold", in just a dozen seconds of shooting, those backward robots were completely destroyed.

The sound of thunder echoed through the enclosed underground space, making Vivien and Dr. Jeanzawa look uncomfortable as they covered their ears, but Merlin looked as usual, he just thought it was a little too noisy.

"The threat has been lifted."

Icarus's voice sounded, and the fortress changed from a high-firepower sentry mode to a human-like reconnaissance mode, the red light on its head quickly turned back to blue, although it had no eyes and no mouth, but from that simple moving posture, it could still feel a harmlessness of humans and animals.

Well, it's just that humans and animals are harmless on the surface.

"Let's go."

Merlin pushed his eyes and said to the biologist behind him:

"There's no threat ahead."

The three of them walked over the burning wreckage, and Merlin picked up a broken weapon module from the wreckage, only to find that there was something similar to the one underneath the module. The logo of the M organization.

These robots are probably back then. When M was not yet out of Hydra, he made a weapon of war for the Hydra headquarters.

After crossing the weapon platform, Merlin and the three of them came to the deepest part of the underground facility, and in front of them was a large surface platform, and at the end of the platform, there was a large metal door that was closed and sealed from side to side.

The closed door is nearly 40 meters high and looks like some kind of prehistoric ruin.

It is hard for Merlin to imagine how much manpower and material resources it took Nacui and the Hydra to make an underground facility of this scale in such a remote part of the Antarctic during World War II.

"The secret is behind the door."

Merlin glanced back at Dr. Serizawa and Vivien, who didn't need to look for the switch to open the metal door, instead pulled out his wand and threw a lockpicking charm on the steel door in front of him.

A few seconds later, in the stretch of the fortress's left arm, with a heavy thud, the massive door was slowly pulled open.

Merlin recognized a ball of light approaching the space behind the door, and in that dark red light, the breathing of the three people stopped almost simultaneously at this moment.

They saw something terrible.

A Titan...

Hydra hides a Titan in a secret base in Antarctica!
