Chapter 100: The Age of Ultron (I)

"I haven't had a press conference in a while, so I guess I'll have to follow the teleprompter, and there are rumors that I'm involved in some of the incidents, about what happened in the park and on the rooftops."

"I'm sorry, but you really thought we'd believe it? A bodyguard in steel armor just appeared, and besides, you usually hate wearing bodyguards. ”

"And this mysterious bodyguard is actually equipped with the most advanced high-secret weapon of Stark Industries"

"I know it's puzzling, but it's one thing to question the official narrative, and another is to denounce it indiscriminately, to guess I'm a superhero. To be honest, I'm not a hero, I have a lot of flaws in my personality, and I've done a lot of stupid things publicly, the truth is"

"I'm Iron Man."

Six months later, New York City is still bustling with pedestrians rushing to and fro, and it's a fast-paced city.

But if you look closely, you will find that there are a few more strange figures on the street.

The perfectly streamlined body, shining with metallic luster, is light and dexterous in that step, and the three colors of red, blue and metallic white are matched with each other, beautiful and atmospheric, and the sight is soft and slightly majestic.

It's a kind of robot.

The metal lettering 'Stark Industrial' is printed on the chest.

This is a robot made by Stark Industrial.

There are many people around the robot, all pointing and taking photos with their mobile phones, and a few naughty children run to the robot's side and stroke the robot's metal torso with their hands, some of them are even naughtiest, and even hug the robot's thighs directly, laughing.

No one is going to stop these little children, it seems to have become commonplace.

In fact, these robots have been appearing on the streets of New York for many days, and it is a marketing ploy by Stark Enterprises to get the public to become familiar with these guys.

In a newsstand not far from this long street. At a glance. The major newspapers neatly hung on the newspaper shelves were reporting on Stark Industries.

"Tony is Iron Man"

"Tony. Stark's Ark Reactor. ”

These were all news from a few months ago.

"The age of robots has arrived, is it the future of humanity?"

"Genius scientist Tony. Stark abandoned the military industry and devoted himself to the development of artificial intelligence and robotics. ”

"Robot bodyguard, your best choice."

"Family Series Robot Butler. Keeping you away from housework. Robot workers, who replace humans in the most dangerous work. ”

"Tony. Stark promised. Robots will not pose a threat to workers' jobs, and Stark Industries will create more jobs and more jobs. ”

"The wind speed is thirty miles. At a height of fifteen thousand feet, you can now enter the drop zone. ”

U.S. Time. Eight o'clock in the evening

In the sky above Flushing, New York City, there is an extremely ostentatious and exaggerated shuttle, in a rough style. Meticulous design, carefully observed. It will be found that this is an enlarged version of the slightly modified "Elysium" plane military shuttle-Raven machine.

"It's a nice day, Jarvis!" Tony wears red steel armor. Sao Bao stood at the exit of the shuttle.

"Yes, sir."

"Is there any news from Boss today?"

"I have to remind you, sir, that you have asked this question thirty-seven times, and if Mr. Wei appears in your residence or company, I will inform you as soon as possible."

"It's been half a year."

"Sir, five months and three days to be exact"

"yes, after all this time, did that nasty guy completely forget about me?" Tony gritted his teeth and said with a stomach full of resentment, "My crossing, my big world, and my Daini." The next time that guy comes back to me, I'm going to teach him a good lesson. ”

"I have to remind you again, sir, that your chances of defeating him are nil."

"Hi Jarvis, after optimizing the program, your algorithm has become more flexible, and there is a slight emotion in the language, and I can feel it clearly."

"Thank you!"

"Well, tonight, let's start cheering, the age of robots has come, by the great genius scientist, Tony. Stark begins. ”

Saying this, Tony swept away the melancholy in his heart, and with a sprint, he leaped away from the shuttle.

Below, the city is brightly lit and the fireworks in the sky burst into the air as Tony flies downward, adding to the excitement and festivity of New York.

Flushing's population is very mixed, mostly immigrants from all over the world, with Taiwan, South Korea, Chinese mainland and other immigrants being the most, and Tony's ambition to place the fair here is evident.

A beautiful, handsome, steady landing, Tony rolled on one knee, domineering.

With Tony's arrival, the scene instantly became popular. It is an open-air square, a huge square that can accommodate more than 100,000 people.

The steel armor quickly disintegrated, peeling off Tony's body to form a block-shaped metal box that slowly fell into a groove.

"Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony"

In the square, there was a cheer.

"It's good to be back, you miss me, don't you? I miss you too."

Tony's words once again stirred up the mood of the masses.

"I didn't say that the world was immersed in a state of peace for many years and lasted for so many years because of me, nor did I say that no one in the world has been reborn like a phoenix like me, and I didn't say that 'Uncle Sam' can lie comfortably in a chair and drink iced tea leisurely, because I have always been at the top of my life, and no one dares to fight me."

"Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony"

"I love you, Tony."

"Please, I don't matter." Tony waved his hand and continued, "It's not important to you, it's the tradition that matters, what we should leave behind in place of future generations, so starting this month, for the first time since 1974, the best people come from different countries and companies around the world." Their resources will be provided. Share their shared vision to create a better era – the age of robots. ”

"We don't matter, so I would say, welcome to the Stark Industrial Robotics Expo."

"Oh"

"In this fair. We've got a total of thirteen robots on display, and there's always one for you. As Tony's words fell. Thirty or forty robots flew over the square, all of which had different shapes and different uses. All are specially fitted with pushers.

The arrival of these robots pushed the mood of the scene to another **.

"Now. A guest will come back from a past life to explain all this to you, please welcome my father. Howard. ”

On the big screen behind Tony, Howard gradually appeared. He was in a laboratory, and judging by the display inside, this video had been filmed for a long time.

"Technology can do everything. A better life, a healthier body, this is the first time in human history that world peace can be achieved, and I only represent Stark Industries to introduce you to the cities of the future, where technology fills humanity with infinite possibilities."

While Tony was promoting his robot products, there was a huge flying aircraft carrier in the sky above the United States, and it was also paying attention to the Stark Industrial Robot Expo.

In the inner hall of the flying aircraft carrier, a virtual screen is showing the live picture of the expo, and Tony's sassy and spirited posture is in it.

"Natasha. Is there any news from the Romanov side? "Nick. Fury, dressed in a black leather jacket, stood to the side with a serious expression, looking at Tony on the virtual screen.

"At the moment, not much progress has been made, but it has been tentatively confirmed that Tony does have a technology that can make people younger." Answer Nick. Fury's is Mary. Hill, Deputy Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau.

"That's good news, at least for Captain America." Nick. Fury nodded.

"Aren't you surprised? Managing director. "Maria. Hill asked.

"There is nothing surprising that since World War II, there have been studies on the taboos of the human body in various countries, and there have been many experimental accidents that have allowed some people to live longer, but these are basically cases that cannot be replicated. If Tony really has a way to consistently extend his life, that's a good thing for us as well. Moreover, he has surprised me too much during this time, and this time it makes me feel normal. ”

"This is Pepper. Potze, Tony's personal assistant. Hill pointed to the transparent screen next to him, and a picture appeared in the hall," according to Natasha. The sample sent by Romanoff was tested, and overnight, she was at least ten years younger and more beautiful than before. ”

"Very good, is there any news from you?"

"It is inferred that Tony acquired a large amount of advanced science and technology during the period when he disappeared for nearly a month, and he had a close relationship with this person."

The picture changed, and a photo of Wei Ran appeared, which was somewhat blurry and was taken from the surveillance system.

Tony forged a sharp sword, but he insisted it was just a shield. Tonight, he will receive a summons from the Senate Armed Services Committee. "Nick. The corners of Fury's mouth were outlined, "The huge cake of robots, greedy American lawmakers and capitalists will not let go easily, we can start from this"

Such as Nick. Fury thinks Tony is in a bad mood right now, having just finished a congressional hearing.

Some upper echelons in the United States have even put their minds on his steel armor, artificial intelligence, and robotics, hoping that he will sell the technology to the government, or continue to be an arms supplier to the army, producing armed robots, and selling them to the army.

Engaging in the robot business was a sudden idea for Tony after experiencing the plane of Elysium.

If it had been, Tony would never have thought so, but after obtaining the technology of the "Elysium" plane, the production of robots for Tony is not so expensive, and it can be used as a commodity.

The artificial intelligence of the Elysium plane is very mature, plus the red queen board brought from the "Resident Evil" plane, this is an intelligent program that already has basic thinking skills, Tony is confident that he can design a more perfect artificial intelligence and create a more ideal and advanced robot.

As he said at the fair, for the first time since 1974, the best people, from different countries and companies around the world, will offer their resources and share their common vision to create a better era.

To this end, Tony also specially asked Wei Ran to help bring two robot production chains from the plane of "Elysium".

He wanted to change the world, create a better future, and create his own industrial age.

Tony's laboratory, compared to the past, has changed a lot, there is a larger laboratory under the basement, which is specially expanded by Tony, more than a dozen robots are walking back and forth, and even there is a robot maid in the house, who is constantly cleaning back and forth.

Some of these robots are prototype robot guards that Tony brought back from the Elysium plane, and some of them are designed and produced in-house.

There is also a white automated medical platform in the laboratory, and in several transparent isolated glass windows, there are three T virus mutants, who are lazily lying in the laboratory.

That's right, it is an active mutant of the T virus, but with the help of Bird, the infectivity in the T virus gene is cut off by the use of polar rays, and no re-infection occurs, but other characteristics are maintained, and the infected cells still have strong activity.

"Tony." Pepper Potts walked into the lab, "I know you must be hiding here, angry?" ”

"No, I'm just experimenting." Tony denied.

"This disgusting test again?" Potz took a few steps back in disgust, as Tony was controlling the robot, inserting metal threads into the mutants in the isolation chamber.

"It's disgusting, but it's very practical." Tony waved his hand, "The virus on this guy has destroyed a world." But rest assured, the virus on them is specially processed and not contagious. ”

"Tony, I'm here to tell you good news, although the fair is just your vanity, but I didn't expect it to work very well, and the stock price of our Stark Industries skyrocketed by more than ten percent in an instant." Potz said excitedly.

"Sounds good." Tony didn't show much joy and put his hand on the virtual screen a little.

"Ang"

A loud roar emanated directly from the soundproof isolation lab, and the mutant with metal threads on its head twisted and twisted, showing that it was in some pain, but it was fixed to a metal countertop, unable to break free.

"What are you doing here?" Pepper Potts was stunned.

"Brain Awakening Potion No. 2, I'm injecting it with Brain Awakening Potion." "It needs to have more active brain waves to keep me from the experiment." "Elysium" and the program of the Red Queen can only provide me with some new ideas, and after Jarvis is optimized, he only has basic emotions and a little independent thinking ability, and the research of artificial intelligence programs has fallen into a bottleneck. However, the mutual grasping and exchanging technology of the organic information of the human brain and the electronic and inorganic information of the terminal obtained from "Elysium" has provided me with new ideas. ”

"In this world, only the human brain is the smartest, my brain is only about 30% developed, but the computing power is much stronger than Jarvis to some extent. It can be said that there is no program more advanced than the human brain. ”

"The brain of this mutant can be transformed into a new inorganic program, and with some of my modifications, it can become the most perfect artificial intelligence."

"Tony, you must be crazy." Potz was stunned for a moment before speaking.

"No, I'm not crazy, I feel like I'm thinking the right way." Tony smiled confidently, "After Wei Ran comes here, it will be a surprise for him." (To be continued.) )
