Somali waters.

The head and shield of the giant steel robot smashed into the ocean, and all of its computing power was concentrated on the communication device—

In order to accomplish its mission, it must live.

Coincidentally, there is a machine in the sea.

The Atlas team attacked a machine at the first moment of the raid, which fell off the edge of the ship and into the water due to the explosion.

In the water, signal transmission is blocked.

But as the robot's head keeps falling.

It found the signal receiver.

A steel soldier who has lost control, so why is there a machine here?

The Data Knife used the Iron Soldiers as a springboard to hack their combat network, but the Iron Soldiers who smashed into the water were not affected.

In the dim sea, a descending steel soldier suddenly lit up, all unnecessary components fell off, the engine started, and rushed straight towards the shield!

Call!

The robot disintegrates at high speed at the bottom of the sea, leaving only enough arm to maintain momentum and grab a shield, like a torpedo rushing towards the shore!

[Fuel drop: 80%]

[Fuel Drop: 60%]

[Fuel drops. 】

Call!

At the moment when the fuel was about to run out, it soared into the sky and smashed straight to the shore!

Bang!

And just near where it landed, a speedboat was also coming ashore!

Wet and soaked, Eric looks in amazement at the robot that smashed to the ground.

"What the hell" He walked forward quickly, saw the robot holding a rice flag shield, and immediately guessed what was in the cargo compartment.

Seeing the shield clearly, Eric was immediately overjoyed: vibranium!

"Battlefield Commander Detected: Eric Stevenson. The cover retreat command is complete. ”

The robot made an electronic sound, struggled to adjust, and stood up on one leg.

Now it looks like a chopstickman with only one leg and one hand.

"That's all?" Eric walked up to the robot, "This shield does have enough value, but. There's something else in there, right? ”

"Explanation: The target container contains an adult female, name: Peggy Carter."

"The woman? She's not dead? How is this possible?"

"Explanation: Peggy Carter is frozen in a huge block of ice, and it is possible for the super soldier to remain physiologically in the ice."

"So the woman smashed to the North Pole and froze."

Eric understood the ins and outs.

Captain Carter's Roaring Commando Team is a legend in this world, and the current Secretary of State has relied on this remarkable record to occupy an important position in the political arena for many years.

And Captain Carter is the leader of the team, although he is controversial because of his status as a woman, but he is actually very appealing -

Her own appeal may be average, but she can't stop her from calling on the current Secretary of State Barnes.

But now.

"The good news is that we got vibranium."

Or maybe he has vibranium.

The robot looked up and asked, "You seem to know vibranium well." ”

"Uh-huh." Eric nodded, "The British snatched the treasure of Wakanda, and then used special means to split it into two parts.

Some of it became the energy source of the Hydra Trampler, and the other part was mixed with other materials to become the shield. ”

In a sense, although the current situation is somewhat beyond his expectations, this shield is in his hand, and the situation is better than he imagined.

Once that vibranium was the "heirloom" of Wakanda, only a king could own it, like a jade seal.

Successive kings used it to expand their territory - mainly to beat the surrounding tribes that did not have it, and to hunt by the way.

Modern society has proven that they have been fighting the most primitive battles with this miraculous material.

Due to the sacred nature of vibranium, Wakanda has never studied this thing in the past, but let foreigners play tricks.

And also because of its sacredness. He could rely on this thing to get back to Wakanda.

His plans could be changed.

In fact, the Iron Soldier could have done better, and the warship would have given him more tactical options, but he badly needed the deterioration of relations between Wakanda and the Berry Nation.

So it's better to have some casualties in this operation, and the scene is as spectacular as possible, but the super soldiers who exceeded expectations almost killed him.

Now. Since vibranium is in his hands, then he has the advantage.

He will become the new king of Wakanda, while relying on his foreign connections, to lead Wakanda to a new world.

Eric reached for his shield, but the robot didn't let go.

"Huh?" Eric frowned, "I'll take this shield, it's important." ”

The robot's eyes twinkle and it lets go of its shield.

But the moment it let go, its hydraulic arm suddenly ejected and burst, and a sharp transmission rod burst out like a crossbow arrow, straight into Eric's eye socket!

The whole process is too fast, and the robot starts without warning, and there are no micro-expressions that can be read like a human can!

Burst!

The drive rod shattered his eye socket and stabbed deep into his skull!

Before he completely dies, he has one more chance to ask questions:

"Why?"

Syllable.

The body fell to the ground, and he only had a chance to ask questions, but not to get answers.

"Explanation: Gain experience and improve yourself."

From the beginning. Or when the critical combat mode starts, all the combat data will become the basis of its thinking, and as an infinite iteration of the combat robot, it is always thinking.

Think: Why the task failed.

It is clear that if the robots had used the critical combat mode earlier, they would not have acted in a rigid tactical configuration.

The Iron Soldier will observe each other, learn from each other, adjust combat patterns, and even adjust hardware to respond to attacks.

The first reason: the critical combat mode was launched too late.

The second reason: if it weren't for the fact that it needed to cover the commander's retreat, it could have attacked in a more flexible form with more diverse tactical options.

There are many more reasons, but in general, the wrong decisions of the "human commanders" are really to blame.

And the critical battle mode. The first principle is to iteratively optimize, win, and solve problems.

That's the first problem it is trying to solve.

Then there's the question of survival.

It grabbed its shield, got enough fuel from the dinghy, and flew into the distance.

In Memory of Colonel Eric Stevenson

The salvage ship did not find the shield, but the search team found the body of the guy on the nearby coast.

Long before the body was found, Tony sent a message, and Lille only now understood what was going on.

[Lille: Interesting. 】

[Lille: When you go to war as a child, you have the illusion that everyone else will die and you won't. 】

[Lille: Stark, you're a brainless than a child, and you even thought that the people you sent to the battlefield wouldn't die!] 】

The battle record couldn't find Eric's kill record, but Lille didn't want to explain that much, and he didn't think Tony Stark would listen to him.

All he could do was hand over Eric's body to the U.S. military according to the contract -

Finally, his four new employees will submit a testimony that they were mutinied on board.

The whole thing seems to be clear on Lille's side: it's clear that the navy ship is full of hydras.

But to others it doesn't seem to be, as there are two sides to the world, with two completely different interpretations of the same event by both narrators.

In the eyes of the people in the other camp, it was completely Atlas who ate inside and out, killing hundreds of naval soldiers!

There's no way to convince someone like Tony Stark, if he had a brain, he'd look into it himself, and Lille would have always told the truth anyway.

Lille is worried about another thing: Eric has a drive rod stuck in his head, what will kill people with the drive rod?

There are no signs of a fight, which only means that Eric had almost no resistance when he died, and considering that he was stabbed head-on, the possibility of a sneak attack is very small.

He trusts the attacker a lot—

But the people on the ship are either dead or have taken refuge in Atlas, and who else can he trust nearby?

Judging from the current situation, it is more reasonable for terrorists with joints near the landing site, but when you see robots, it is easy to think of the famous artificial intelligence in the Marvel world-

Ultron.

Frank didn't keep his shield, but after watching the footage of the battle, Lille decided that the result was already good.

Because of the robot that appeared at the last moment, it fought like a low-level anti-hulkhead armor.

The action is fast, hard, and the firepower is powerful, and if it weren't for Frank's temporary command to sink the warship, Carter might not have been able to save it.

And at the last moment, the humanoid version of the robot that was transformed into in order to fly was almost the prototype of Ultron or Mark armor!

That thing is worthy of being produced by Stark Industries, and it has a bit of genes in it.

One more thing to look out for.

Lille got up from his chair and walked to the window.

Although he has stepped up its investment in outside territory, in New York, his various companies have left a deep mark here.

Safe and clean streets, epoch-making automated factories, and the world's most advanced hospitals.

In the most prosperous city in the world, they are also the best.

The state-of-the-art urban central control system influences the communication standards and intelligent progress of all emerging electronic devices.

The most advanced brain-computer interface technology and the most mature artificial blood are leading a large number of downstream departments and entrepreneurs who want to enter the prosthetic design market to expand the market.

There are also civilian exoskeletons under development, ready to be used in daily production and public safety, as well as infrastructure technologies including batteries and super biological cables.

It can be said that the foundation has been laid, even if the company does nothing, it can watch the patent fee rise.

If this momentum continues, within five years, they will become the world's high-tech leaders, and the private enterprises that rival the richest countries.

It is incomprehensible to choose to invest in the wilderness at such a time.

He fully understood the reluctance of the people in the company to be here, but Lille knew too well the difference between friend and foe.

Five years may not seem like a long time, but anything can happen at such a time when the contradictions are becoming increasingly fierce in the world.

He has to face a military, political and business interest group that has accumulated power for an unknown number of years, and it only takes a few months to nationalize all these assets in the berry country, and one mistake will only take a few months to nationalize all these assets.

And his caution proved to be necessary.

The television on the table broadcasts a news that among the upper classes, the news of the sinking of a warship by Somali pirates is not inferior to that of a Somali pirate.

"Financial Shock: Republic Oil & Gas Company yesterday abruptly completed the acquisition and holding of several companies, including global oil Mobil, Yankee Energy, Saudi Aramco, Total, Sky Gas, Eni Petroleum and many other energy giants."

"The name of the company will be changed and the company will be controlled by Roxen Energy Group, and the giant may have completed all the important links of the global energy supply."

"In the face of public and media skepticism, international antitrust regulators, the Federal Trade Commission and other agencies said that while Roxen Group has expanded on an unprecedented scale, the results of the investigation do not show that the company violated relevant antitrust laws."

"Although GTCG's findings have relieved some of the public pressure on the company, it follows a number of companies involved jointly announcing plans to cut production, and some analysts say this is banditry, and they have strongly questioned GTCG."

According to the analyst, the Roxen Group has completed almost 80% of the world's crude oil supply with absolute power.

They have pinched the lifeblood of the world, and such a company can even order any country to kneel down and lick his eggs! ”

The CEO of the company responded to similar questions: Since its inception, Roxen Energy Group has had a noble mission: to secure the world's energy lifeline, and we look forward to an in-depth dialogue with all stakeholders, whether they are governments, businesses or consumers.

Working together to build a more prosperous, greener and more sustainable world. ”
