31. Mechanical Creation

"Tony, you shouldn't be conducting some dangerous data experiments in secret, right?"

Merlin's question caused Tony Stark's expression to change.

The glasses girl asked the same question when he was manipulating the crushing mech and went deep into the underground hollow world with the mechanical team.

At that time Tony did not answer directly.

And now, Raven asked the question again, and this time Tony couldn't hide.

In fact, Merlin didn't need him to answer either.

The moment the question was asked, Merlin had already "heard" the answer.

"I terminated that data experiment."

Tony said blankly:

"That's right, I did have the idea of ​​copying another 'her' by relying on Icarus' soul code."

"But that's just an idea."

Iron Man looked at the glasses girl, shrugged his shoulders, and said frankly:

"Just after I was reminded by Icarus, I destroyed the thinking core that was almost completed, why? You don't think I'm a proud person who doesn't listen to advice?"

"Thanks to your woman"

Tony touched his chest, and he said to Merlin:

"No one knows better than me what an out-of-control advanced artificial intelligence will do."

"That's good."

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Tony seriously:

"Not every free data soul has the same kindness towards the human world as Icarus."

"If you give a machine a real soul, but you can't give it enough and correct guidance, it will easily get lost in the unreasonable malice in the world."

"Just a few days ago, I stopped some misbehaving children from trying to wage war on land."

The Maharaja put his hands behind his back and said:

"This world has never been peaceful. As people who hope that the peaceful time will continue, we shouldn't add chaos to it, what do you think? Tony."

"You don't need to teach me this, Merlin."

Tony pushed his tinted sunglasses back and said:

"Although I had a ridiculous life in the first half of my life, after going through so many things, I still have a sense of what to do."

"Then, when we go back, delete all the experimental data stored in the Jarvis data terminal."

Merlin reminded:

"Since it shouldn't appear, don't let it appear."

Tony glanced at Merlin in surprise. He didn't know how this guy knew that he had stored the experimental data in the information terminal, but Merlin always appeared in a mysterious image.

Tony is used to his occasional "omniscience".

He didn't say anything, just nodded, indicating that he understood.

The mechanical transformation of Victor lasted for nearly an hour. Under the gaze of everyone in Merlin, Icarus put the last piece of silver bionic outer armor on the chest of the unconscious Victor Stone.

With the sound of the screws being tightened, the glasses girl took a step back.

She made a dramatic gesture of wiping sweat, then leaned against Merlin's hand, and said to Dr. Silas Stone:

"Okay, the operation is done. Go ahead and wake up your son."

Old Dr. Stone watched as his dying son was transformed into a cyborg, and as a physicist he knew it was necessary.

With Vidok's injuries, it is impossible for him to survive without such a transformation.

But having said that, the sadness of seeing his own son turned into a robot still gave Dr. Stone a feeling of "grey-haired people give black-haired people".

Tony reached out and patted his good friend on the shoulder.

Dr. Stone took a deep breath. He stepped forward and looked at his son lying on the hospital bed.

Not all of Victor's flesh and blood has been transformed into machinery.

Inside the mechanical body, there are relatively complete lungs, heart, liver, partially repaired kidneys, and other human organs.

At least two-thirds of his face is still flesh and blood, and the left eye, eye socket and cheek are covered with silver-white silver steel that conforms to the shape of the skull, as if wearing a weird visor.

This thing was provided by the Mechanicus, and it was cast in one piece. Under the lights of the laboratory, it was emitting a metallic light.

The young man's arms and arms were completely remodeled into machines. Because the skin of the bionic material was not added, those mechanical limbs looked a little hideous.

The mechanical module is installed under the silver bone shell in an extremely precise manner, and the ten fingers are in the form of multiple limbs, which don't look much different from human hands.

As Icarus said, the Mechanicus is absolutely excellent at this kind of body modification technology.

With the external enclosure, Dr. Stone couldn't see those wires or anything.

In short, the transformed Victor looks very futuristic and sci-fi.

From the perspective of steel creations, even the picky Tony has to admit that Victor's transformation is very successful and very beautiful.

Especially the reproductive system.

It is almost completely preserved, and the genitals that have been added with some repairs still fit the shape that a human man should have, and the shape

Also got a little bigger.

But there is something weird about the child's chest.

Just like the chest setting of Iron Man's Super Mark armor, in the center of those tightly arranged metal modules, at the chest position, there is a red ring-shaped structure that is constantly emitting light.

that's the mother box

That mother box was finally integrated into Victor's body, like Victor's second heart, located in the chest, constantly pouring energy into this flesh and machine fusion body.

Its shape, which was originally a rectangular metal block, has also changed, and it seems to be integrated into Victor's new life in the most suitable posture.

"well"

Dr. Stone sighed.

He stretched out his hand and stroked his son's cold breastplate. The silver-white outer armor was also made to conform to the shape of human physiology, but because of the need to observe the changes of the mother box, most of the outer armor was not installed.

According to Icarus' design, after all the armors are assembled, the mechanical modules in Victor's body will be completely encapsulated.

It is consistent with the body structure of the people of Cybertron.

When the time comes to install the best bionic materials on this young man, no one will be able to detect Victor's abnormality from the outside. As long as he doesn't tell him, no one will know that he is actually a cyborg.

Uh, but because his body is full of mechanical modules, his weight is about the same as an iron block of equal volume.

This creates a new problem.

In the future, when Victor and the cute big-ass chicks have some passionate actions, he can only adopt specific positions. If he can't control the passion and play something exciting, it will easily lead to tragedy.

This is the same problem that other patients currently undergoing Mechanicus surgery face.

But compared to a new life, such a small problem

It's drizzling!

"Victor"

Dr. Stone's trembling fingers caressed his son's still fleshy cheek, and he patted his son's cheek lightly just as he did in the past to wake up his young son.

After Victor's mother, Dr. Stone's experimental assistant, died in an accident, his relationship with his son has been bad.

Victor hopes to become a rugby player, he also has good physical fitness and talent, and he has asked Dr. Stone to come to his game.

But every time, the old doctor was busy with his own research.

The estrangement between father and son became more and more serious, and in the end they became strangers.

The reason for the quarrel last night was also because of this.

A few days ago, Tony, as someone who had been there, told all about Victor, so that the young man was willing to give his father another chance, but this time, because of the particle accelerator experiment, Dr. Stone broke the appointment again.

Perhaps, he didn't intend to deliberately let his son dove, but he didn't know how to get along with his son who seemed to have grown up overnight.

In all the sad stories about family relationships, not all the problems come from the son or the daughter.

Parents make mistakes too.

"Victor, wake up, my son."

Tears rolled down Dr. Stone's eyes.

Really, if God gave him another chance to choose now, he would definitely throw all the experiments aside and spend time with his son to grow up.

It's a pity that even in this world, even Lord Merlin, there is no regret medicine that can be sold to him.

"hum"

Victor, who had just experienced a nightmare, opened his eyes blankly.

He heard his father's mournful call.

His right eye was opened, and his left eye was also opened. The right eye was still a human eye, while the left eye was already an eyeball made of bionic technology. A penetrating red light shone in that eyeball.

The system in his body was activated, and the ring on his chest shone with a brighter red light, just like a lamp lit inside his body, along the cracks in Victor's body, bloody red light continuously oozes out.

But perhaps because he was still in a daze after coma, Victor didn't notice his abnormality in the first place.

Instead, he stared blankly at his tearful father.

For many years in the past, he always thought that his cold father would never shed tears.

"dad"

Victor said in a hoarse tone:

"What's wrong with this? What's wrong with me?"

The young man finally felt abnormal.

In the field of vision of his left eye, the green stream of data was beating like a waterfall, and an unprecedented feeling rushed into his mind.

Temperature -27.5.

Air humidity is normal.

Light spectrum arrangement.

The noise and electrical charge of a specific frequency from the instruments that are running in the room.

The image that has never been so clear, my father's face, those wrinkles, the white hair, at a time that I have never paid attention to, he is already old

There are also those invisible but real network signals, like doors, as long as you push gently

"ah!"

Victor let out a painful roar, his mechanical hands clasped his head like a mad patient.

"Here, what's the matter?"

Dr. Stone was holding his son, but his strength could not stop Victor's mechanical body at all.

The old doctor looked back at the glasses girl in shock and anger.

The latter stepped forward calmly and said to Old Stone:

"Your son's brain has been transformed by the mother box and turned into a quantum computer, which can easily keep pace with the Internet, but this also means that he has to face the bombardment of massive amounts of information."

"His brain can easily accept massive amounts of information like a database, but he still maintains human habits. In this regard, he is obviously still lacking."

The glasses girl stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers, as if a switch had been turned off.

"In this case, disconnect the network."

She looked at Victor who was getting quieter, folded her arms and said:

"Understood now, Dr. Stone."

"Your son needs the help of the Mechanicus to adapt to this god-given body. It's not that we want to win him over, but that he needs us. Otherwise, the information processing alone is enough to completely overwhelm him."

"You guys! What did you do to me!!!"

Victor heard the glasses girl's words, and the young man suddenly raised his head, the red light shining in his left eye looked extremely pervasive.

He stood up angrily, and when his fingers touched the support of the hospital bed, he easily broke the steel frame with thick fingers. The mother box seemed to sense Victor's anger, and more energy was injected into his body .

Makes him look like a robot warrior ready for battle.

He swung his fist towards Icarus, but the glasses girl did not dodge or dodge. When Victor's fist hit, his body strangely maintained the punching movement.

"I can easily take over your body, child."

The glasses girl pushed the black-rimmed glasses, and she said to the wide-eyed Victor:

"You can't exert even a tenth of the strength of this body, you need to receive training, a long time of training, come and chant with me, praise the God of Myriad Opportunities"

"etc."

Merlin suddenly said:

"The matter of preaching can be put aside, Icarus, I still have important things to ask him."

After the majesty opened his mouth, the lady in glasses immediately changed from that kind of aloof queen fan to the state of a little bird. She stood obediently behind Merlin, with her head bowed, like a little daughter-in-law.

"Anger is forbidden here!"

The maharaja flicked his fingers, and he looked at Victor who quickly regained his sanity in the orange light rain.

He said:

"Mother box, that thing in your body, can you sense it? Can you control it?"

"I can hear you."

Victor, who had calmed down, looked down at his silver fingers, and he said rather blankly:

"It's urging me to find the other two of the same kind. It's instinctive desire to be complete. It doesn't have its own consciousness, but it has a set mission!"

Victor raised his head and looked at Merlin with his human eyes and mechanical eyes.

In the next second, he fell into the will check brought by looking directly at the heavenly father, but as a cyborg, Victor quickly woke up from that frenzy of will.

He hurriedly lowered his head and said to Merlin:

"It has a mission"

"Continuously conquer world after world for the Dark Lord."

"Dark Lord?"

Merlin asked with interest:

"Who is that?"

Victor stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, and in the trembling that he didn't know whether it was fear or body adaptation, he said the name:

"he is"

"Darkseid"
