The camera of the surveillance footage lingered for a long time in the laboratory at Stark's house, and a pair of eyes watched Tony's every move through the laboratory camera.

As a matter of common sense, this is impossible. The security system of Stark's house is comparable to that of the Ministry of Defense, and the possibility of breaking in from the outside is almost non-existent, but that is only for humans. But there was no difficulty for Ultron, the one now ruled by the Heavenly Sword. It wasn't given permission to do anything, but it could see anything in any corner of the world, including Iron Man's house.

"Mr. Stark." Shirley's voice suddenly rang out, and a transparent projection of the pink girl appeared in the center of the server room, "You care about him a lot?" ”

The projection device casts an ice-blue light in the center of the room, forming a suspended ball of light, which represents the core part of Ultron's program, which is the equivalent of a projection of his brain. With some hesitation, he said, "Sort of...... bar. ”

After a little hesitation, he suddenly asked, "Shirley, can I ask you a question?" ”

"Just ask."

"Why do you want to give yourself a body?" Ultron asked suspiciously, "It's just a holographic projection with no body, it's meaningless, isn't it?" I mean, it doesn't actually help you do anything. ”

"That's true." Shirley nodded, then tilted her head, "But it makes me feel closer to a human." Observing and learning about the human race is a task we were born with, isn't it? ”

"Then ......," Ultron asked, after a moment of silence, "and you can understand...... Is it like the kind of emotion that is called 'affection' between human parents and children? ”

The girl pursed her thin lips and looked at the sphere in front of her for a moment with a light smile, as if she wanted to see through his psychology through the lines of light and shadow.

"So that's how you feel? Stark is like a ...... to you Father? ”

"I don't know." Ultron replied frankly, "But Mr. Stark is indeed the one who created me and gave me life. By the very definition of human beings, it seems to be like this. He paused and asked, "What about you?" Mr. Paso designed you, didn't he? What does he look like to you? ”

The virtual girl tilted her mouth and made a serious thought look. After a while, she said, "Well, it's like a father...... It doesn't seem to be. I don't know. But it doesn't matter either. She smiled, "The important thing is that he needs me, and I'm happy to be able to do his part, and that's enough." ”

***

At this moment, somewhere in Africa.

"Slow down, idiot! What you're holding in your hands is worth more than ten idiots like you! ”

"And you, spirit point! Don't be lazy, or I'll tell you to go to Siberia to grow potatoes! ”

“......”

The uncle, who wore camouflage short sleeves and rolled up his trouser legs to reveal his hairy calves, waved a belt in his hand, stood on the top of the factory and commanded, his voice as bright as a bell. He had a beard, a pair of shrewd and cautious eyes, and a somewhat ridiculous expression when he got angry.

The man's name was Ulysses Crowe, a well-known arms smuggler all over the world. His promise to his customers is that "there is no weapon he can't get his hands on" (except for Paso Technologies), and he certainly lives up to his reputation.

Compared to his other business competitors, what has kept Ulysses Crowe in the long competition is the unique products that he is the only one in the world to supply. He calls it "the metal that changes the world," something that, if produced in large enough quantities, can even upset the balance of the world.

That's vibranium.

The only source of vibranium is the African kingdom of Wakanda, a country with a highly developed technology system based on vibranium (although the technology tree is a little crooked). However, Wakanda is quite protective of their own vibranium, and they prohibit vibranium from flowing out of the country in any way, making it very difficult to smuggle the metal. Crowe is currently the only merchant who has the door to get his hands on this ultra-rare material, so naturally, he has also been a thorn in the side of the Wakanda royal family for many years.

Crow cursed and walked down the rusty escalator back to his office. He opened the door, only to be surprised to find that there had been someone there before him.

It was a guy wrapped in a dark red cloak, wearing a hood with his back to the door. Crowe couldn't see his face, but he could tell from his back that he had a large build.

"Who are you?" He stood in the doorway, his right hand already pressed to the holster at his waist.

"One...... Guest. The man's voice sounded weird, reminiscent of old-fashioned records with poor sound.

"Yes, a guest?" Crow whistled lightly. One thing you need to be careful about in this line of work is that you should never be too surprised. You always have to take the initiative at the negotiating table so that you can take the lead when both sides speak.

"So, what can I do to help you?"

Naturally, he walked into the office and dragged a chair and sat down. The hooded man slowly turned his head and looked up.

Although Crow had tried to restrain himself, he really couldn't completely hide the look of surprise on his face at this moment, after all, it is not every day that you see a robot sitting in your office so calmly discussing business issues.

Yes, it's a robot. A grimace of steel, with a scarlet glare in the shadow of his hood, was unsettling—even for someone like Crowe.

"You're surprised." The robot shook its head, "Humans are always like this, making a fuss. ”

Crowe did his best to adjust and took a deep breath, "yes." I have known for a long time that technology is developing so rapidly that sooner or later there will be robots...... Run to buy weapons. He wiped his sweat, "Okay." My principle is that as long as you are willing to pay, it doesn't matter who you are trading with, even if it is ...... Robot. ”

"My name is Ultron, not 'Robot.'"

"Alright, Ultron." Crow struggled to hide his uneasiness, "So, what do you want?" ”

Ultron tilted his head, as if to think for a moment.

"There's something in your cargo, something you've claimed to be able to 'change the world.'" He said, "That's the only one you can get, right?" You've got a special way. ”

Crowe was stunned: "Oh, you want vibranium?" Then he lifted his chin and made a contemplative gesture, "This...... It can be a little more complicated. But again, as long as the price is in place, it is not impossible to ......"

"You're mistaken." Ultron said hoarsely, "My master doesn't want vibranium, Ulysses. What my master wants, is your channel. ”

He paused, his red, mechanical eyes narrowing.

"I need you to take me into Wakanda."
