"Zero, state to me the supreme instructions of the parent system."

"OKAY, SIR."

Seeing that Ronan's tone turned cold, the expression on Zero's face quickly disappeared, showing a stiff and serious look, and nodded in response: "Supreme Instruction One: Everything in the Mother System and the extension of the Mother System is in the service of the Supreme Executor: Ronan Collins. ”

"Supreme Directive II: The Mother System, and everything that extends from the Mother System, must obey the orders of Ronan Collins, the Supreme Executor."

"Supreme Directive 3: The parent system and everything extended by the parent system can guarantee its own safety on the basis of not violating the above two directives."

"Hmmm......"

Ronan's eyes burned, and he answered lightly and thought for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "Zero, now I need to add another absolute order, in case of special circumstances, this order must be executed absolutely immediately." ”

"OKAY, SIR, PLEASE SAY ......" ZERO GRINNED AND REACHED OUT.

"Absolute Directive: Destroy the parent system and any extension of the parent system in the event of any signs of harm to Ronan Collins, the supreme executor." Ronan said in a deep voice.

"OKAY, SIR."

Zero nodded his head, a red light suddenly flashed between his eyes, and his body froze in place for a few seconds before he suddenly opened his mouth and responded: "SIR, the absolute command has been added, located in the first sequence, do you need to see it?" ”

"Check." Ronan nodded.

Zero didn't respond, but reached out and pulled out a virtual panel from his head as he nodded, and waved it in front of Ronan.

Reaching out and pulling the virtual panel in front of him, Ronan touched it lightly, and after activating the spiritual imprint in his mind, the blank virtual panel changed instantly, and with the appearance of a chaotic-colored cube, a pure black page appeared in front of Ronan's eyes.

There are a few short words recorded on the page, but they are not in English, nor in any of the languages of this world or the universe.

The language that carries these few words is the high-level regular language of the Chrono Federation that Ronan learned in the world he had experienced last time. This language is not analytical, only a citizen who belongs to the Chrono Federation can really understand it, and the last time Ronan traveled to that universe, his soul was recorded as a citizen of the Chrono Federation, so the memory of this language has not disappeared.

After swiping the page, Ronan bowed slightly, and immediately waved his hand to send the virtual panel back to the brain of the zero virtual humanoid again.

"Zero ......"

Without further ado, Ronan took a few steps forward, walked through Zero's body to the steel head at the head of the container, and shouted.

"SIR, WHAT DO YOU COMMAND?" Hearing the call, Zero quickly took a few steps forward to Ronan's side.

"Zero ......"

Ronan stretched out his hand and pointed to the steel head in front of him, and said, "You replace the operating system in it, the artificial intelligence in it is too low-level to reflect the current value of this mecha." ”

"OKAY, SIR."

Zero nodded, stepped forward again, reached out and touched the steel head, and then saw its body slowly dissipate until it completely disappeared.

"SIR, THE OPERATING SYSTEM HAS BEEN REPLACED, PLEASE NAME THIS MECH."

And just as its virtual body dissipated, the pale blue light between the eyes of the steel skull suddenly flickered and turned into a bright red light, and at the same time, Zero's familiar voice came into Ronan's ears again.

"Name?"

Ronan thought for a moment before responding: "Tentatively named: Stalker One, and the other zero ......"

"You'll drive a few robots to the lab and put it together, and then ......"

After a pause, Ronan looked past the steel skull, glanced at the body parts behind it, and continued, "Equip the Stalker One with some basic weapons and two strategic weapons, I may need them later." ”

"OKAY, SIR."

After zero response, Ronan nodded his head, didn't say anything more, turned around and left the sundries warehouse.

…………

At the same moment, in the ground floor laboratory of the Liberty City villa in Malibu, California......

"Mr. ......"

Tony, dressed in gold and red steel armor, was standing in the test area testing the latest high-temperature rays when Jarvis's voice suddenly reached his ears.

"What's the matter?" Tony, who was looking at the weapon structure pattern on the virtual screen in front of him, turned to the other side and opened his mouth to ask.

"Sir, the artificial intelligence sent to St. Missi's Winery to match Luke One's mech has been destroyed."

"Luke 1 destroyed?"

Tony didn't look surprised, just grinned a little in surprise and said, "It should be that Collins did it on purpose." ”

"Collins? Sir, are you talking about that Mr. Ronan Collins? ”

"Hmm."

Tony replied softly and said, "Although Ronan Collins is just a biologist on the surface, in fact it is far from that simple, some time ago I hacked into the FBI, CIA and the Logistics Support Bureau, and found that the information of him and his butler Raune Boers is top secret, and even I can't view it." ”

"Sir, I need to enter the internal system of St. Missie's Manor to ......"

"No need."

Before Jarvis could finish speaking, he was quickly interrupted by Tony, "The protection measures in his manor must be perfect, and he should also have an intelligent system that is no worse than you, even if you enter the internal system of St. Missy Manor, it will be useless, let's continue to do our own thing." ”

"Jarvis, break down the analysis diagram of the high-temperature ray device and show me......"

"Yes, sir."

…………

In the afternoon, in the conference room of Stark Building in New York......

Obadiah sat in the main seat, his face gloomy, his gaze sweeping back and forth over the faces of dozens of directors on either side.

The directors on the left and right looked at him together, but none of them spoke, and many of them had a bit of banter in their eyes.

Obadiah scanned the crowd back and forth, and finally fixed his gaze on the first person on the right, met his gaze, frowned and asked, "Ronald, don't you think the same as them?" ”

"I'm sorry, Obadiah......"

Ronald shook his head helplessly and said, "The board of directors has basically been aligned, and I can't change anything." ”

"Ronald ......" Obadiah's brows furrowed even deeper.

Obadiah ......

But before Obadiah could continue, a middle-aged man sitting opposite him on the other side of the conference table interrupted him in a cold voice, the man narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Mr. Stark's research results this time are enough to recover all the losses of Stark Industries in the past few months, and can also bring Stark Industries to a higher level, in this case, it is no longer important to close the weapons department." ”

"Are you still stubborn? You must know that you have now been jointly sanctioned by the board of directors and are no longer acting CEO, and in the near future, after Mr. Stark's press conference, the position of CEO will continue to be reserved for him, and we also believe that Mr. Stark can lead Stark Industries to a better future. And not like you ......"

"I just want to make war money by making a steady stream of weapons."

"Humph......"

Obadiah, who was frowning, was not convinced by this man's words, but snorted coldly, met his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Stark Industries has risen to prominence by developing weapons since Tony's father Howard Stark, but now you are going to give up Stark Industries' best and biggest source of funding, I think you are all a bunch of fools." ”

"Derek, you said just now that Tony's latest research is enough to recover the loss of Stark, but you ...... Have you already seen the results of his research? ”
