092: Be honest with Ivan
Follow Alice and lead her through levels and through the labyrinthine hive base.
With the continuous improvement and growth of the hive base, the appearance of the base is very different from when Danny first came, not only there are more researchers, but there are also a lot more levels, which is for confidentiality management, after all, to prevent spies from stealing research materials, split management can minimize losses.
It has been more than a month since Danny last returned, and during this time, the umbrella has ushered in a leap and bound, under Danny's planning and promotion, the umbrella has united many relationships, and with the help of Stark Industries, the entire Hammer military industry has been carved up.
Especially Danny's father, Sam, united with the business wizard Pepper to launch an attack from various aspects such as public opinion, the stock market, the military, and the parliament, because the Hammer military industry, which suffered heavy losses in the Iron Man Legion, could not resist the siege of wolves at all, and not long ago, this signboard that had existed for nearly a hundred years collapsed and disappeared into the long river of history.
Under Sam's efforts and Danny's suggestion, the umbrella snatched the most valuable piece of this gluttonous feast, beckoning countless research talents of Hammer's military industry, as for those technologies and patents that Hammer military industry was proud of, they were all thrown out as bait by the umbrella.
This is also why the hive base has undergone such a big change in a short period of time, it is simply one day at a time, resulting in Danny, who has never returned, almost not knowing the way.
If Alice hadn't been in the lead, Danny would have gone in the wrong direction. "Alice, do you think the base is a bit messy right now?"
Alice, who was walking in front, did not stop, nodded and replied: "It's normal, so many people come at once, and the management will definitely be chaotic." ”
"We can't go on like this, we have to solve this problem as soon as possible." Danny said with a frown.
"Mr. Styler is already figuring it out, but he says it will take time." Danny's grandfather is currently the head of the Hive Base, and he must have noticed the situation at the base, but it will definitely take time to find a solution, all because the umbrella has eaten the largest piece of meat in Hammer's military industry, resulting in a little indigestion now.
"With such a large base, it is definitely not possible to rely on people to manage it, not only will there be chaos but also mistakes, if only I could find an artificial intelligence." Danny said to himself.
Danny thought of the movies he watched in his previous life, and many research bases in the plot would have an artificial intelligence to help humans manage the base, which could greatly reduce the chaos of management, and the possibility of mistakes was very small.
For example, in "Resident Evil", the hive base is managed by the artificial intelligence program of the Flame Queen, of course, the biochemical virus leak cannot be blamed on the Flame Queen, it is the human beings themselves who die.
"Artificial intelligence? You've watched too many sci-fi movies, right? Where to find artificial intelligence now? Alice said with a sneer.
Indeed, I haven't heard of artificial intelligence at all now, at least there is no mature way to create, Iron Man Tony's intelligent butler Jarvis is not counted, although Danny doesn't know how Tony created Jarvis, but Danny believes that it was definitely an accident.
If Tony could continue to create artificial intelligence, then he would not be an arms dealer a long time ago, and artificial intelligence can make a lot of money, and it is the only one in the world that he has.
So Danny never considered asking Iron Man for Jarvis, because he knew that for Tony, Jarvis was definitely more important than all Iron Man armor, and that was definitely what Iron Man valued the most.
"Alright! Wishful thinking indeed! Artificial intelligence is not possible now, I just hope to develop some intelligent programs as soon as possible. Danny said with a sigh.
The two walked on for a while, and Alice finally stopped in front of a room, turned to Danny, and said, "We're here, and he's inside." ”
Danny smiled and nodded, said thank you, and pushed the door in. The room was not very big, and in terms of decoration and arrangement, it was very similar to the hospital wards.
One of them was sitting at the table, bowing his head to write and draw, not noticing Danny entering the room until Danny smiled softly and said, "Mr. Vanke, long time no see, it looks like you're recovering well." ”
Ivan was engrossed in writing, and when he heard Danny's words, he raised his head and glanced at the door, put down the pen and paper in his hand and replied, "It's you!" I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Slowly walking around the room, Danny said with a smile: "I know this, I heard Kirby say that you have always wanted to see me, so I came today, I have been here for so long, Mr. Vanke looks good, at least his body is fine, how do you feel?" ”
When Ivan was dealing with Iron Man Tony and Colonel Rod, he received severe internal injuries from the explosion, and it was Danny and Kirby who rescued him from preparing to blow himself up, and took him to the hive base for treatment.
It's been so long, it looks like Ivan is almost fine, he is dressed in neat casual clothes, his hair is also very clean, and with the smile on Ivan's face, he can't tell that this guy is a super criminal at all.
"Physically, I feel fine, but you haven't explained anything else to me, and there are still a lot of problems!" Ivan stood up, walked over to the birdcage next to the bed, teased the parrot a few times, and said.
"I understand what you want to know, Mr. Vanke, that's why I came to you today, and I told you at the beginning, and we'll talk about it when you're well."
Hearing Danny's words, Ivan didn't want to hold back, and asked directly, "Who are you?" Why save me? ”
"That's a good question, I'm sorry I didn't confess to Mr. Vanke before, I didn't want to reveal my identity at that time, but it doesn't matter now, Hammer Military Industry is gone, so I can let Mr. Vanke know who we are."
Hearing Danny say that Hammer's military industry is gone, Ivan showed a surprised expression on his face, he has been in Hammer's military industry for a while, and he also has a certain understanding of the strength of Hammer's military industry, what he sees is only the tip of the iceberg.
"We want to thank Mr. Vanke for your help, if it weren't for you, Hammer Military Industry would not have fallen into chaos and suffered a great loss of strength, and we would not have been able to push that behemoth so quickly." Danny expressed his heartfelt thanks to Ivan.
"To answer your question, we are the umbrella, a high-tech company that has just been established for less than two years, we want to develop and grow, in addition to slowly accumulating time, we can only climb up by stepping on the corpses of our predecessors, so we will use the hands of Mr. Vanke to make a little conspiracy to help us achieve our goals."
After listening to Danny's words, Ivan fell into thought, and after a while raised his head and asked, "Then why did you save me?" Wouldn't it be better if it was just to use me so that I could never speak? ”
"Haha! I did think so, but then I changed my mind, do you know why? Danny asked with a smile, and without waiting for Ivan to speak, Danny continued: "Because I don't want the Umbrella to become the next Hammer military industry, there are still many fun and interesting things in this world, I want to know where the limit of the Umbrella is?" So I want Mr. Vanke to join us and really help us! ”
