The second day of the opening of the Age of Ultron.

Afternoon.

In an old apartment in San Francisco.

Dr. Hank Pym sat quietly on his couch reading news about Ultron, interested in the artificial intelligence that had just taken over the country.

In fact, Dr. Pym also conceived the idea of using artificial intelligence to rule the country a long time ago, and his idea coincides with Goofy, which is more rational, more objective, and can abandon the human nature of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

As a tool of domination, AI may be better than humans.

But because Dr. Pym's other great invention, the Pym's particle, took too much of his time, he didn't have the energy to develop artificial intelligence, and his plan was just an idea that was not put into practice, and it was always in the embryonic stage.

Pym particles are a magical substance, which can shrink or enlarge objects by changing the distance between particles, Hank Pym's application of Pym particles can be traced back to decades ago, as early as the eighties, he has transformed himself into the size of an ant with Pym particles, becoming the first generation of Ant-Man.

At that time, Dr. Pym was still a member of S.H.I.E.L.D., and was also one of the backbone of S.H.I.E.L.D.

His Pym Particles caused a stir in S.H.I.E.L.D. and received close attention from Tony Stark's father, Howard Stark, and Steve Rogers' ex-girlfriend, Peggy Carter.

Both Howard Stark and Peggy Carter proposed to work together to develop the Pym Particle to maximize the functionality of the particle, but Hank Pym rejected the proposal of the two, and he even voluntarily withdrew from S.H.I.E.L.D. due to its high interest in the Pym Particle.

Hank Pym is a suspicious man who hardly trusts anyone.

He always felt that Howard Stark was essentially a shameless businessman who wanted to make money with his Pym particles.

Peggy Carter, on the other hand, is a cold-blooded and ruthless war machine who seeks to build a superpowered army using Pym particles.

Hank Pym was adamant about not giving out his Pym particles, he would rather have this magical substance be put in a coffin with him, and even when he was at his poorest, he didn't think of using this technology to make money.

At the same time, he also carefully protected this secret, and never mentioned the existence of Pym particles after leaving S.H.I.E.L.D.

He knew that if someone heard the wind, someone would have to find a way to take away the Pym particles.

It's a pity that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news finally leaked out.

Just as Pym Hank was working on the Ultron system, there was a knock on the living room door.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

Dr. Pym glanced at the surveillance camera attached to the door on his phone and saw that it was a student he didn't like very much, the bald Darren Klaus, who was knocking on the door.

"Oh, Klaus, what's blowing you here?"

Hank Pym walked to the door and reluctantly opened it.

"Doctor, I'm here to talk to you......" Klaus said with a smile, "is it convenient for you?" ”

"It's not very convenient, I'm a little sleepy." Dr. Pym said, "If there's anything, just say it, and when you're done, leave quickly, and don't delay my nap." ”

Klaus sneered, pulled out a picture from his pocket, and half-concealed it to show the doctor.

Dr. Pym glanced at it, his expression changing suddenly.

It was a picture of his daughter Hope being tied up and thrown in the wilderness.

"Hope, she ......"

"Shh......hh ”

……

Hank Pym has no other way because Darren Krauss has grabbed his lifeline.

Ever since his wife disappeared into the quantum realm, Hope has been everything to him.

So Dr. Pym, who has always been cautious, had no choice but to take a risk and follow Darren Klaus to the suburbs.

Parking on the side of a deserted road, Darren pulled Dr. Pym out of the car.

"Doctor, make sure you don't have any communication devices on you, because our next conversation will get you in trouble not only for me, but for yourself as well."

Pym pulled out his phone and pressed the power off button.

"That's it, right?"

However, Klaus snatched the phone and threw it on the ground and smashed it directly.

"That's how it's safe."

The corners of Pym's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.

Darren Krauss whispered: "Dr. Pym, I don't want to offend you, offend Hope, you should know that I have always had a crush on Hope, and I even hope that we can come together and start a family......"

Dr. Pym rolled his eyes, trying not to throw himself up.

Darren didn't care about Dr. Pym's expression, but continued, "But these are extraordinary times, Dr. Pym, our country is in trouble! ”

"Is the country in trouble?" Dr. Pym couldn't help but roll his eyes again, "God is in trouble!" We are entering a new era ahead of the rest of the world, and it is very likely that human civilization will develop by leaps and bounds, and social efficiency will be raised to an unprecedented level. I think you've got a bubble in your head!! ”

"I ......"

Darren's mind was blank when he was scolded by Dr. Pym, and he recalled that he was also so mad by Dr. Pym every day when he was an apprentice.

But after taking a deep breath, Darren immediately regained his composure.

"Dr. Pym, let me guess if you're going to support Goofy and his artificial intelligence Ultron, right?"

"Of course I support it, because it's the right choice, it's a smart choice, and if it weren't for my age, I would even want to develop an Ultron with my own hands." Dr. Pym said in a deep voice.

"What?" Darren was stunned for a moment, and then immediately retorted sternly, "Dr. Pym, you have disappointed me so much, how can you think that?" Ultron is a shameless aggressor, Goofy is an insidious careerist, they have taken power from our country, they have hijacked the United States! ”

"Dr. Pym, our country has fallen! As a citizen of America, we owe it to our country! Defend your territory! ”

Dr. Pym glanced up at Darren and rolled his eyes.

"Don't give me this set, Darren, you were cultivated by me, I don't know what kind of person you are? Don't say that there is nothing wrong with the country now, even if you really encounter a national disaster, you will not be a hero who defends your family and the country...... You will only hollow out your mind to make a fortune in the country, and you want to take this opportunity to make profits for yourself! ”

"Besides, the country has not fallen, she is just a step in a better direction, idiot. Without change, there will be no progress, and humanity will only stand still or even go backwards! The beginning of the Age of Ultron has allowed humanity to progress without having to pay the price of war, and you have no idea how precious it is! ”

Darren is poked red-handed by Dr. Pym with a sinister smile on his face.

"Sure enough, it's my teacher, and he really knows me."

Anyway, he had Pym's daughter Hope, and he didn't care about a showdown with Pym, the old guy.

"Now that you've seen me through, I'm not going to sell it anymore. Doctor, Ultron has just seized power, and the situation in the country is in chaos, I think this is a good opportunity, we can't help but take the opportunity to do something......"

"Doctor, I already knew you had Pym particles on your hands, and this is a powerful treasure...... Let's work together! With my plan and your Pym Particles, we can make a name for ourselves in this turbulent era! ”

Darren Krauss said excitedly.

"Darren, you're playing with fire." Dr. Pym muttered, "You overestimate yourself, and you underestimate Goofy and Ultron, and I don't agree with you. ”

"You don't agree?" Darren sneered, "I'm sorry, Dr. Pym, you are not qualified to disagree, I didn't come to you today to discuss with you, I came to order you!" Hand over the Pym particles, or I'll give you back your daughter, piece by piece, in pieces!" ”

————————

Evening.

Hank Pym returned to his apartment tired.

He eventually had no choice but to hand over his Pym particles.

But Pym felt he had to make amends for his mistakes, and he couldn't let Darren Krause with Pym particles.

What's more, he had to save his daughter.

Looking back at the safe in the living room where the original Ant-Man suit was hidden, Pym took a deep breath.

He was too old to charge again.

He had to pick a suitable successor.

Or maybe you don't have to be a successor.

All you need is a temporary worker with decent qualifications.

At this moment, his eyes stayed on a newspaper, the content of which read: "A high-IQ criminal gang has stolen Envision Inc., and the world's tightest defense system has been fully breached!" ”
