"Did you wake up from a dream, Dr. Ethan?"

"I ...... Where is it? Why can't you see anything? What's wrong with my voice? Listening to his own electronic voice, Ethan was a little frightened.

"Don't panic, Mr. Ethan, you've been shot, and the shotgun has landed exactly in your upper body."

“…… So? That doesn't explain why I see darkness. ”

"Wait a minute, you'll be able to see it in no moments—activate the vision module, activate the circulatory system—and feel your new life, Dr. Ethan."

With the sound of a mechanical operation, a regular green glow suddenly appeared in Ethan's field of vision, and then, the surroundings lit up like a screen.

"It's ...... Oh, my God! ”

With everything around him, Ethan felt like he was sitting in a room full of screens, up and down, left and right, front and back, as long as he "moved" the perspective!

He saw Hancock, the big beautiful woman looking at him with a smile.

"Because your gunshot wound was so severe, we had to replace some of your organs, and the face was badly damaged, but we tried our best to restore the function of our facial features, but I don't know if you can accept it......"

Ethan saw the bloody scene, took a deep breath and said, "Anyway, thank you for saving me, I guess you are...... SCF: Right? Let me see what I look like now, I feel like I can't move. ”

"Your body still needs to adapt, and it's not recommended to act directly when you wake up, but there's a mirror here."

Hancock beckoned, and a mirror protruded from the ceiling.

The next moment, Ethan was gone.

In the mirror: a man standing normally is immobilized by a huge machine, his face becomes an angular mechanical mask, and the entire head is covered in metal, and the layers of various metals make the whole head very mechanical, with no facial features, only the rudimentary shape of a human face.

Some of the mechanical parts slowly rotate in the overlapping armor, and the position of the facial features is replaced by a large visual module, and the glowing red strips form an icon that resembles a sight.

"You have been hit hard in the face, your cardiopulmonary system has been damaged, and you have to replace it with a mechanical structure."

“…… It's beautiful......" Ethan stared blankly.

"You can look at your whole body, in addition to the head and heart and lungs, we also modified your left hand - your left hand was broken at that time."

Hearing this, Ethan looked at his left hand, his vision suddenly enlarged, he adapted to his eyes, and carefully examined it: the entire forearm had been replaced with a mechanical structure, and the delicate composition couldn't help but make Ethan, the doctor, obsessed.

"It's 100 percent obedient to your nerves, with almost zero latency, and we can guarantee that – you can play the piano if you want."

"Thank you...... I don't know why I deserve your rescue so much, but I'm willing to pay some price. ”

"The price? No, no, Dr. Ethan, you're going to be one of the SCF's Admirals, leading the organization's mechanical research. ”

Before Ethan could answer, Jiang Yuan walked in slowly with his pocket in his pocket and said, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, Dr. He Ethan, without the signature of your relative, Devin Ethan, the old man will not dare to transform your body indiscriminately~"

"What?! Devin is still alive, where is he? Ethan's emotions suddenly became agitated.

"Calm down, Dr. Ethan, the SCF found your brother in Afghanistan, the rest of the relatives were separated from the war, and now we are looking for them."

As he spoke, Ethan's brother Devon walked in, he was emaciated and obviously battered by the war, but the moment he saw Ethan, his eyes lit up.

"Ho, my brother, I finally see you!"

Devin hugged Ethan and began to cry, Ethan couldn't shed tears, but the grief was beyond words, and the visual modules flickered and disappeared.

When the emotions were almost cathartic, Devin said: "He, when they came to me and said that you were in danger, I signed the consent form without thinking, you won't blame me for making you like this, right?" ”

"How could it be, I was thinking about dying - my relatives were gone anyway, but now, I desperately want to live!" After speaking, he looked up at Jiang Yuan:

"From what I have in mind, you must be the director of the SCF, Mr. Polusalino, I have agreed to join this organization - I hate all the war."

Long before Ethan woke up, Jiang Yuan had a lot of information about SCF input into his head, allowing him to turn to his side.

"Welcome at any time, but don't worry now, the old man will make proper arrangements for you and your brother, and wait quietly for your body to fully recover, Second Admiral 'Doctor'!"

"Oh? Hasn't my body recovered yet? ”

"In order for you to have the strength of the Admiral, and more importantly, so that you will not suddenly collapse due to the mechanical heart in the future - your body needs to be completely replaced."

“…… There's no turning back? ”

"I'm sorry, Ho, I didn't think about ......"

"Don't persuade me, Devon, I don't want others to look down on me as an admiral, and I don't want to ...... anymore There's no way to fight back! ”

Firmly agreed to the request for a complete makeover:

All organs were replaced as mechanical organs, skin, bones, and tendons were also replaced, and there was hardly any original material on the whole body except for the brain.

Maximize every computing power of your brain, load combat assist intelligence, and combine super whole-body coordination with the tremendous power of a mechanical body and built-in energy-powered weapons......

This will no longer be a traditional researcher!

Next, Ethan fell into a deep sleep again.

The transformation began......

"Sometimes, the old man thinks, is it too cruel to treat an ordinary person like this?"

In the hangar, Jiang Yuan and Liu Xin strolled along the edge of the exit, and the waterfall and leafy woods in the distance formed a beautiful picture.

It's autumn again......

"No, this is his own choice, after these wars and the separation of his relatives, he still retains a normal mind, his faith will be stronger after seeing his long-lost brother, and now he is very suitable to join as the second admiral. An ordinary person, for the sake of his relatives, can endure everything, gain strength, and will not go on a killing spree, which is a very precious quality - anyway, why doesn't the captain play with me these days? ”

“…… If you hadn't tried to touch his abs every day, he would have avoided you like this? ”

"Seems to be eh, but is he so shy?"

"You're full of meat jokes, he's just a child in his twenties with a mental age and a ninety years old physically!"

“…… Oh, but I looked at the renderings of the doctor's transformation, and it was really handsome! Liu Xin's thinking has been beating fast.

"Right? Trust the SCF aesthetic – we've always been at the forefront of the world! ”

I saw a virtual model of the "doctor" reflected in front of the two of them:

He is 1.9 meters tall and is covered under a snow-white coat with subtle patterns on the coat, which is turned outward from the neckline downward, and the black valgus part is decorated with a row of silver diamond-shaped buttons, and the buttons are embedded with blue crystals.

Wearing dark blue trousers, a tie on the upper body, many decorative strands of rope hanging on both sides of the body, holding a silver Rubik's Cube with a dark blue light in the gap in the mechanical hand, and a pestle cane in the other hand, the cane is made of a variety of metals, and the hollow design still exudes a faint blue light.

Inside his open coat, he could vaguely see rows of test tubes filled with dark blue liquid.

The shoulders of the coat are thick with fluff, which hides shield generators and miniature missile launchers......

On top of that, behind his head, a vertical circular circle was suspended, slowly spinning.

"What is this? Magic? ”

"Yes, the old man added a special effect in order to keep his mechanical head from looking bald~"

“…… Say seriously. ”

"This circle can play a calming role, but also to allow him to experiment or ...... Keep calm when you do it, don't get carried away by anger or desire~ "That's right, in order to prevent Ethan from being unable to control himself after gaining strong strength, an insurance is hereby added, which can force Ethan to calm down when he is irrational by strong emotions!

(You can refer to the costume of the Fatui executive "Doctor" in Genshin Impact)

……

"I'm going to shut down Stark Industries' weapons manufacturing division!" Tony's words on the stage were amazing, he thought for a long time, the moment Ethan was hit, he understood that weapons that countless people can buy can only make the world more chaotic and displace more residents, and the sale of weapons will only bring endless harm!

Obadia's face was not very good-looking, he quickly pulled Tony aside, and said to the crazy reporters: "Tony has just come back, some things are not clear, we will talk later, I am glad that he can come back safely......"

Damn it! This playboy will only ruin everything in the Stark Group, and without the arms, how can we make money?! I said a long time ago that Howard's son is unreliable, and he should let me be the leader of this group! I'm waiting for this little deflated calf every day, is it easy? This group can be surnamed Stark, why can't it be given the surname Stan!? Obadiah Stan thought bitterly and talked to Tony next to his reactor.

He saw what was on Tony's chest, and he knew that this was another business opportunity and an opportunity to get rid of Tony Stark!

He carefully scans Tony's Mark I armor and asks the scientists to make it bigger and stronger—he's going to replace Stark once and for all!

Looking at the "Iron Overlord" generation being assembled, he smiled with satisfaction.

……

"Dr. He, are you awake?"

"Uh, wait, I'll start everything up." As Ethan's thoughts fell, a lot of data, boxes, and graphics suddenly appeared in the field of vision in front of him, which was a built-in assistance system.

"Click" Ethan stepped down from the massive fixture and slowly circled around the room.

After a few minutes, Ethan had a deep understanding of the body.

"It's tough...... I'm not panicking at all - this must be what magic does, and I'm going to have to study these things. ”

Ethan looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction, obviously handsome, okay?!

"Welcome to join us, Admiral Dr." Hancock congratulated from the sidelines.

"Thank you guys for really wanting to, I need to talk to Devon and arrange the rest of the business before I dive into the research - it's amazing that this body still has a stomach."

"It's good if you like it~" Jiang Yuan walked in, "Your residence is not far away, just next door to me and Liu Xin." ”

"Uh, Liu Xin is ......? The SCF has no information about her in its database. ”

Liu Xin happily jumped out from behind Jiang Yuan, "Wuhu, it's so handsome that it explodes!" It's me, the clothes and colors you choose are the right taste! I am Liu Xin, the adopted daughter of this uncle. ”

“…… That's thanks to Miss Liu Xin," he shook hands with Liu Xin, who had stars in his eyes, "Sure enough, it's very soft and ......warm," the doctor sighed.

"Huh?" Liu Xin looked at him suspiciously and with some vigilance.

The doctor reacted, and really laughed, "No, I just sighed at the sensitivity of the touch." ”

Now, the SCF has two Admirals: "Captain" Steve Rogers, "The Doctor" Ho Ethan, and as for Hancock, she is codenamed "The Empress" and is the secretary to the Director "Yellow Ape" Polusalino.

(The next admiral is called "luthier" Andre Sayles, you can guess his story~)
