I'm Tony Stark, and I'm panicking right now.

In a secluded basement in New York No. 2, everything was silent, except for the faint sound of a fan coming from the vents.

The grid-like cold light on the ceiling is silent, still casting inorganic light, which contrasts with the giant screen that occupies most of the wall.

Dozens of palm-sized micro-drones float in mid-air, projecting projections of humanoids — and the sound of human figures can be projected along with them if needed.

The three-dimensional projection of Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards looks at Tony Stark standing in front of the operating table with an inexplicable sad gaze.

At this moment, the former number one playboy in New York City and the son-in-law of the Golden Scarab, the helm of the Stark Group, the inventor of the Ark reactor, and the only designated partner of the American steel suit project, seem to have been pulled out of his soul and are decadent.

"We lost."

Tony Stark said, leaning half-leaning on the edge of the alloy square table, a bitter smile on his lips.

His crisp suit was wrinkled by the hectic busyness of the last few days; The beard, which was originally meticulously groomed, also looked messy in the light; The eyes that were originally full of confidence of successful people have become cloudy, and with the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, they look extremely haggard.

“..... Our last hope, Ultron, a quantum intelligent machine with a self-designed, self-evolved, and self-propagated synchronous quantum processing unit, has now taken refuge in Leon.

We have no hope of turning the tables around. ”

Stark said as he slowly pulled a cigarette from his suit tie, tucked it between his fingers, and lit it with the portable steel suit glove in his other hand.

Smoking is not allowed in this hidden basement according to safety regulations – the smoke can cause unpredictable damage to some of the delicate instruments in the basement.

But, as Stark said, now that they're all lost, do you have to think about any smoke?

It's better to take advantage of this short period of time when Li Ang hasn't turned back to settle accounts, have fun in time, love to eat and drink, and then it will be in vain.

“....”

Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards wanted to say something to comfort the decadent Tony, but he couldn't think of any good lines, so he could only lower his eyes sadly and remain silent like everyone else.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the basement was becoming more and more oppressive, the Doctor Doom, who was born in Latvia, asked indifferently, "Reed, according to your previous predictions, when will Ultron be able to ignore a frontal nuclear weapon strike?" ”

"Frontal nuclear strike?"

Reed Richards frowned, although he and Dr. Doom, a former college classmate, were hostile, but now was really not the right time to dwell on the legacy of history, so he said in a fifteen-ten manner: "After Ultron breaks down the barrier of force of the quantum computer, it is only a matter of time before she breaks through the technological singularity, not to mention that Leon has shortened her evolutionary speed." ”

"Don't talk so much nonsense, I want an exact time."

Doctor Doom said very stiffly: "Can the current Ultron withstand the optical radiation, shock wave, penetrating radiation, nuclear electromagnetic pulse, and radioactive contamination of high-yield nuclear weapons?" ”

"I don't know." Reed Richards shook his head honestly, "Humans can't accurately predict the speed of development of quantum intelligent machines. ”

“.... I don't think so. Ant-Man Hank Pym said loudly: "The current Ultron has only undergone a qualitative change in computing power, but its physical structure still needs to rely on vibranium-Edelman's metal body.

These two special alloys, which are said to be indestructible, will still undergo changes in their physical properties in the face of thermonuclear radiation.

I believe that as long as the yield of nuclear weapons is sufficient, it can be lethal to Austria. ”

"Not necessarily." Another scientist spoke up, "Do you see the crystal ground under Ultron's feet?" The crystal layers made by nano-scale silicon-based cells can be seen as an extension of Ultron's brain.

At every turn, these layers of crystals are constantly expanding, and the underground part is even more unfathomable.

Even if a high-yield nuclear weapon could destroy the earth's surface, you would not be able to inflict a devastating blow on a crystal rock formation hundreds or thousands of meters underground.

As long as even a few nano-scale silicon-based cells remain, Ultron may be resurrected from the ruins."

Soon, the basement was active again, and most people were discussing whether Ultron, who had now been transformed by Leon, could still be affected or even killed by a huge yield nuclear bomb.

Doctor Doom looked at the noisy basement, shook his head indifferently, and walked to the console.

"Doom, what are you going to do?" Mr. Fantastic vaguely felt that something was wrong, and called out the original name of Dr. Doom.

"I'm going to invade the U.S. military's strategic nuclear strike system and carry out an all-round nuclear bomb scrubbing of Wakanda.

Now Ultron has only achieved a qualitative change in computing power, and it is still some time before she carries out self-design, self-replication, self-evolution, and uses nano-scale silicon-based machinery to turn Africa into a crystal continent. ”

Doctor Doom typed various codes into the console while saying without looking back, "The U.S. strategic nuclear strike system is physically isolated from the outside world, but its internal systems are briefly connected to the outside system when they are debugged and maintained.

In this case, the strategic nuclear strike system will have several temporary secret channels to the external network.

As early as a week ago, I dropped thousands of self-adapting Trojan horses into the US strategic nuclear strike system through a temporary secret channel.

Once the cipher code is activated, these Trojans will rapidly expand, using logic bombs to corrode and invade the internal network of strategic nuclear strike systems.

After the invasion is completed, the strategic nuclear strike system automatically determines that all those authorized for the nuclear strike are dead, and in accordance with the final plan, carries out a devastating bombing of all regions of the world. ”

"Wh.... What the?! ”

Mr. Fantastic almost suspected that something was wrong with his ears and yelled, "Are you crazy? Bombing the globe with nuclear weapons? That's your solution? ”

"Not globally, but all regions of East Africa, including Wakanda."

"The U.S. military has a total of 7,068 active nuclear warheads, including 5,948 strategic nuclear warheads, 1,120 non-strategic nuclear warheads, and 370 spare warheads," Doctor Doom said indifferently.

Among the strategic nuclear warheads, there are 1,600 nuclear warheads for intercontinental ballistic missiles, 2,688 nuclear warheads for submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and 1,660 nuclear warheads for heavy bombers.

With the help of nuclear strike systems, I was able to call on a total of 4,288 ICBMs and SLBMs. Of course, taking into account the artificial correction of the US strategic nuclear strike system and the impact that too many nuclear warheads will have on the earth's environment, I will only mobilize about 64 nuclear warheads.

Among them, 18 nuclear bombs will be dropped into the sky over Ultron, using optical radiation and penetrating radiation to interfere with Ultron's physical hardware;

16 nuclear bombs will be dropped on the edge of Wakanda, where the crystal rock formation will be cleaned;

The remaining 30 nuclear bombs will wash the East African region, and with the EMP electromagnetic pulse bombs that will follow, we will strive to spare no nano-scale silicon-based robots. ”

With that, Dr. Doom clasped his knuckles on the table and said calmly, "Anyway, we're already about to tear Leon's face, aren't we?" Afterwards he would not have lifted it up in the air, put it down gently, and just bypassed us.

Think carefully about those urban legends about the school city.,You're not stupid.,You know that the school city 'imports' a large number of live、Unpardonable death row prisoners every year,Used in some expendable scientific research experiments。

Even if you're a scientific research worker,,It won't be regarded as a one-time consumable in the school city,'Lost' in scientific research experiments,I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape the fate of being enslaved and oppressed by the school city for life,And even the fate of various human experiments.。 ”

At this point, Doctor Doom glanced at the people with different expressions on his face, no longer concealed, and said directly: "The dozens of large-yield nuclear warheads dropped in Wakanda did not explode together, but according to the perfect explosion model calculated by the supercomputer, they exploded like petals.

This explosion model will advance the energy level exponentially, even if it can't kill Leon directly, it can cause a certain amount of damage to Leon, and then pair it with an elite team of transcendentals....."

Doctor Doom didn't go any further, but the meaningful look in his eyes spoke volumes about his intentions.

This is also a misjudgment made by Dr. Doom himself under the condition of information asymmetry, if he knew that Leon could drive the curvature engine and perform the speed of light migration, I am afraid he would not be so naïve.....

"Are you crazy? Bombing your own planet with nuclear weapons? ”

Reed Richards was furious and yelled at Doctor Doom, "Do you know how many people there are in all of East Africa? Do you know how large the cloud of radiation dust caused by more than 60 nuclear bombs is? You will be the most evil butcher of the century, no, in the history of mankind! ”

"I know you're angry, Reed." Doctor Doom's hands were still flying on the console, and he said without looking back, "But if you think about it, silicon-based life doesn't have the same moral concerns as humans, will Ultron forgive you humans who made her and sealed her?" You are not her true Creator! By the time she comes to her senses, everyone in this basement, including me, will die.

Not to mention the possibility that Ultron will sweep away the ant-like humans in the process of evolution, and completely bury our race in the dustbin of history. ”

With that, Dr. Doom smiled coldly at the others in the basement and said disdainfully, "Don't think I don't know what you're planning, you self-proclaimed humanitarian representatives of American morality like to do the most, is to put America's hypocritical morality above everything.

This time, you came up with the idea of using quantum robots against Leon, and I am afraid that you also think that Leon has hindered the development of the United States, distorted the democracy of the United States, and affected your high-level voice in this country. ’

Suffice it to say that if it weren't for you idiots who think so highly of yourself, today's impasse would not have arisen at all!

Now, if you don't have a problem, I'm going to activate the self-programming, self-expanding Trojan in the Strategic Nuclear Strike System. ”

With that, Dr. Doom returned to the Table.

.....As the convener of the operation, Tony Stark's eyes twitched, and he had to admit that Dr. Doom had some truth - the current bad situation was indeed their pot, and they were too eager to deal with the threat that Leon might pose.

The existence of "gods on earth" should be outlawed in the first place, and no individual life with self-will should have the ability to override the human social cluster.

The concept of "defense first" is always popular in the United States, which is to strangle the crisis itself in the cradle before it erupts, rather than to let it go and wait for the crisis to grow gradually, and then honestly prepare for "proper, proper, and appropriate justifiable defense."

Even if there is only a 1 percent chance of human destruction, it is enough for these Americans to prepare for the worst possible response.

Stark and others developed Ultron, not with the goal of eliminating Leon at the beginning, but as a response to the "gods of the world".

At the very least, Ultron can create checks and balances on Leon, and take a little more care when Leon is fiddling with humans.

After all, it is really difficult for these elites to trust the life, old age, sickness and death, present and future of all mankind on the "conscience" of Leon.

Tony Stark, Reed Richards, and the others would not admit that part of the reason why they didn't have absolute trust in Leon was the color of Leon's skin - these arrogant and impudent white skins were subconsciously unwilling to let a yellow-skinned Chinese ride around their necks, even if Leon had achieved what they had to look up to. If Leon had not been a yellow man, but a white man with curly blond hair and white skin, a generous and compassionate face, and a Christ-like face, I am afraid that they would have surrendered to the heart of their hearts a long time ago, instead of putting themselves in the pit of death as they are now.

(Having said that, even in the 21st century, in the eyes of the white-skinned elites of most European and American countries, the yellow race is still associated with the term "yellow peril",

The Manchu people who appeared in the Marvel movie "Iron Man 3" are based on the series "Fu Manchu" created by the British popular writer Sax Lomore at the beginning of the last century.

Both Fu Manchu and Manchu people have a Chinese background, yellow skin and black eyes, thin face, long and narrow beards, cunning, insidious and evil, resourceful, and use despicable criminal means with no lower limit to persecute Westerners who symbolize "light and justice".

In combination with Western cultural products such as Hollywood movies and Marvel DC in the last century, they have little understanding of Chinese culture, no respect at all, and they have to forcibly interpret it with mainstream concepts in Europe and the United States. ）

“.... Doom, you wait a minute. ”

After a brief moment of thought, Tony Stark finally made up his mind and waved his hand for Doctor Doom to temporarily halt the invasion of the U.S. Strategic Nuclear Strike System, "I'm going to call someone." ”

"Make a phone call? Is there something wrong with your brain? Dear Tony. ”

Doctor Doom said impatiently, "Every second we delay is one point less likely to win against Ultron and Leon, and even if you want to call Pepper, Nick Fury, or Steve Rogers, find a better time." ”

"It's not them." With a stiff face, Tony Stark held up an extremely heavy alien tech walkie-talkie that clearly did not conform to the aesthetics of human technology.
