Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 971 25.89084. Supreme authority

The Onika Consortium has arranged very generous rewards for this charity draw.

Especially for the lucky winner of the grand prize, the trip to East Africa was richly arranged.

Tour the scenery of the Nigerian savannah, as well as the strange beasts in the nature reserve.

Of course, the highlight is on the third day. They will be sent to the world-famous Numbani Industrial Park for a tour similar to science popularization.

There is the world's first omnic industrial park, and now the omnic products that have begun to change the world have their initial starting point here.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, a black tourist bus slowly drove into the Numbani Industrial Park.

After passing through five closely guarded lines of defense, the children finally entered this place, which claims to gather the most high technology and the most mysterious place in the world.

"Look! Harry."

Peter almost pressed his face against the window of the bus, and he said to Harry beside him:

"Look at that lion! My God, that's a robot!"

"where?"

Harry, who had little interest in smart technology, also came over.

He followed Peter's fingers and saw that on the square lawn of the Numbani Industrial Park, a lazy mechanical lion was lying there basking in the sun.

It is no different from the lion in nature in appearance, but its skin and body are made of silver metal.

Those fine and constantly moving metal scales shine with a unique light in the sun, and the face completely composed of metal modules simulates the head of a lion.

There are also some metal-structured manes, and a constantly wagging tail with nested metal rings.

There are ruby-like things in the eyes of this lion, which look like eyes.

It also growls.

Roaring like a lion.

But in that roar, there was a metallic sound that couldn't be concealed.

Amidst the lazy roar of the mechanical lion, the children and parents in the bus picked up their mobile phones to take pictures.

There are lions in the zoo.

But such a beautiful big lion made of metal is really very rare.

The carriage also became a little noisy.

"Ma'am, did you make it?"

Peter turned his head to look at the commentator of the Onika Consortium beside him. It was a beautiful young girl in a black official dress.

She has probably been asked this question many times.

As Peter and Harry looked on, she gave a pretty decent smile and said:

"Yes, cuties, it was made by the engineers here in the second year after the Numbani Industrial Park was built. We regard it as the mascot of Numbani."

"Don't look at it looking fierce, in fact it is very timid, very docile, and a little shy."

"We call it Simba."

"Simba?"

Harry blinked and said:

"Lion King, your life here is really interesting. It's not as boring as I thought. I'm looking forward to the next visit."

"She's just lying to you, silly boy."

The faint voice of Icarus reached Peter's ears,

Peter immediately grabbed the sunglasses and put them on his face.

On the lens of Icarus, pieces of information were projected to Peter's eyes, and Icarus explained to him:

"That lion was not made by the engineers here. In fact, its origin is far beyond your imagination, Peter."

"It is the first flesh and blood creature in the world to be infected by the energy of the fire source. It has been noticed by SHIELD before the establishment of the Numbani Industrial Park."

"We have fully documented its entire process from being infected to fully transforming into a machine."

"It's not called Simba..."

Icarus snorted and said with disdain:

"It's called Nemoa, serial number 05084-7, which is the name your uncle gave it, and it comes from a monster in Greek mythology."

"The reason why it is so docile is because the engineers of the Onika Consortium closed its logical thinking circuit, so that it can only survive as a beast."

"But in fact, it has already been transformed into another life."

"A Cybertronian?"

Peter's eyes widened, and he asked:

"Is it a bestialized Cybertronian?"

"almost."

Icarus said:

"It probably won't deform, trust me Peter, it's definitely a lot more powerful than you think."

"In fact, in your uncle's vision, it is the sixth line of defense in the front area of ​​the Numbani Industrial Park, but it seems that it has never been activated."

"It was trapped and used as a mascot..."

"Oh, what a pity."

Icarus let out a sarcasm or a sigh of unknown meaning.

She stopped talking, and a few minutes later the tour bus pulled up in the parking lot in front of the industrial park.

Led by several omnics in receptionist uniforms and the young lady tour guide, Peter and his classmates were like an outing.

They switched to smaller smart cars and began to tour the well-ordered industrial park.

"Children, please follow me!"

The tour guide took the children to an omnic storage warehouse, and gave everyone a special black brooch, which was an entry sign for temporary permissions.

She said enthusiastically to the children:

"Next, I will take you to the omnic exhibition hall, where you can see full models from the humble first-generation omnic to the most advanced 7th-generation omnic."

"Peter."

In the introduction voice of the young lady, Icarus suddenly said to Peter:

"Your uncle has stored something here, and I want to get it back...Although I am very sad, but child, it is time for us to say goodbye."

"Ok?"

Peter, who was concentrating on observing the omnic guards around him, was a little overwhelmed by Icarus' request.

He looked around and whispered:

"Is it something important?"

"Yes, quite an important thing."

Icarus said:

"He asked me to keep it safe before he left."

"Then what do you mean by goodbye?"

Peter asked again:

"Sister Icarus, won't we meet again in the future?"

"Maybe, maybe not."

Icarus chuckled, and she projected the anthropomorphic face she designed for herself on her lens.

It was a very beautiful lady's face, every part of the face conformed to the perfect golden ratio, there was also a pair of eyes very similar to Elsa, a head of blue long hair, and a lovely bridge of the nose.

With a farewell smile on that face, she said to Peter:

"I'm sorry I failed to protect your uncle, Peter, this is my negligence. It's time for me to fulfill my final mission."

"Little cutie, you must take care of yourself in the future, and then take care of your Aunt Mei."

"You are a little man now, don't let other people bully you in the future, I will hide the 'fortress' under your bed, and activate it if you encounter danger."

"Sister Icarus!"

Peter felt that something was wrong, and he wanted to say something to keep Icarus, who had made up his mind.

But the latter has clearly made up his mind.

"Sorry, Peter."

"Snapped"

A blue electric arc popped out from the frame of the sunglasses, and Peter's sunglasses fell off his face amidst Peter's cry of pain.

Everyone else turned to look at Peter, who was covering his face, as if he had fallen, and was hugged by an omnic guard with sharp eyesight and quick hands.

"The child is unconscious."

The omnic guard said to the nervous Aunt May and Harry:

"But don't worry, his vital signs are intact, please come with me, there is a medical room specially prepared for emergencies."

The teacher who led the team also rushed over, but in the panic, no one noticed.

An omnic guard, who was supposed to guard the children, was leaving the exhibition hall quietly at a rather relaxed pace.

It jumped on a smart car parked outside the exhibition hall and drove all the way to the smart tower deep in the industrial park.

Along the way, 14 internal defense lines were passed, but no one was alarmed at all.

It seemed to have been given extremely high temporary authority, and it came to the front of the smart tower unimpeded.

"Snapped"

The white omnic jumped off the smart tower, it looked around humanly, and then in a special frequency band, it asked:

"Horus, have you got the thing?"

"Hold on."

On the other side of the communication band, Horus' response was mixed with the sound of certain explosions and bullets hitting steel.

Cybertronian Mech Knight replied:

"Sky Eye will hide them very well, I need a little time to break through the underground defense..."

"Execute, Icarus, I will join you in 27 minutes at most."

"Ok."

Icarus responded briefly.

She manipulates this normal-sized defensive omnic in a "possession" manner.

It steps up the steps in front of the smart tower with the steps women should have.

But at the moment when the omnic stepped into the first step, at the entrance of the smart tower in front, hundreds of defensive weapons were activated amidst the sound of mechanical collisions.

Like a giant Cybertronian transformed.

Cracked ground and walls, black, traditional firearms loaded with pointed bullets.

A pulse rifle with a flashing internal arc, and even a radar-like sonic emitter.

Four fully armed, wearing special armor, holding high-frequency vibrating knives, and black combat omnics with V-shaped red goggles, walked out from the entrance of the smart tower with heavy steps, and said a word in front of Icarus. row out.

In front of the fire defense line that was enough to level a small town in an instant, the omnic controlled by Icarus stood there alone.

It will be completely destroyed in the next moment.

"Final warning! Unknown authority! Exit the smart tower immediately!"

An indifferent voice sounded from the ready-to-go defense line.

Those firepower nets locked on the target, and the four black omnics also clenched their swords like warriors.

The white omnic didn't back up, nor forward.

It holds the vibrating gold glasses that have transformed into a prototype in its hand. In this mechanical body, Icarus calmly looks at the big battle in front of him.

There was nothing in her heart.

"Permission display..."

Icarus manipulated the omnic to raise his hand, and a set of data was sent to the data core of the smart tower.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

"click"

During the suffocating wait, the four black omnics had already walked in front of Icarus. They raised the high-frequency combat knives in their hands, and prepared to kill the out-of-control ordinary omnic in front of them according to the crisis management process.

Icarus did not dodge or dodge, letting the buzzing saber slip.

"buzz"

Four high-speed vibrating knives stopped around the omnic controlled by Icarus.

In front of its eyes, the sharp blade was almost attached to its forehead.

"Swish"

The four black omnics retracted their knives at the same time, and the dense defensive firepower in front of them was also shut down.

They were put back into the storage bin, and in front of Icarus, the road to the smart tower was unimpeded.

"The authority has been confirmed, welcome back, Mr. Merlin Riley."

The gentle voice of the smart tower's artificial intelligence "builder" sounded in Icarus' ears, and the closed door of the smart tower slowly opened.

Guarded by four black armed omnics, Icarus walked up the last step with graceful steps.

It turned to look at the monitor placed in front of the door of the smart tower.

It seems to be able to see from the black lens, the expressions of shock on the faces of the scientists in the main control room who are urgently trying to destroy the highest authority.

On the simulated cheek of the white omnic, a smile was outlined.

Icarus reached out and tore off the monitor lens.

In the midst of sparks, she holds it before her eyes.

she says:

"Ask the outside world for help... Dr. Reed Richards."

"This is your last chance."

"click"

The monitor exploded with sparks in the clasp of the five mechanical fingers.

Then it was thrown on the ground like being thrown garbage.

---------

"What happened to that omnic?"

In the main control room of the smart tower, Dr. Reed looked back at the people behind him in surprise, and asked:

"Why is Merlin's locked authority reactivated?"

"I'm watching!"

Tony Stark, wearing brown sunglasses, was checking the data stream on the computer in the main control room.

After calling up the data interaction interface just now, he let out an exclamation:

"Not only the data key, but even the body scan, fingerprint and iris detection results are completely consistent with Merlin Riley. If I hadn't seen that omnic with my own eyes, I would even think that Merlin was resurrected."

Tony turned his head, he said doubtfully:

"But that omnic, does it have such things as irises and fingerprints?"

"It's fake data."

On the other side of the main console, Bruce Banner, wearing glasses, said solemnly:

"The data packet sent by that omnic contained some kind of virus-like information..."

"It modified the data cognition of the 'builder' and reactivated the locked permissions without us noticing."

"But it made us turn to the outside world for help... what does that mean?"

Banner looked at Dr. Reed at the front.

The latter stood blankly in front of the holographic projection. He looked at the data shining like a blue waterfall in front of him, and said in an unbelievable tone:

"That's what I mean..."

Tony and Banner immediately walked over to Reed, and the three smartest people in the world looked at the extremely active data that was beating on the projection.

In the blue light they were like three statues.

"The highest authority has been activated, some data is being uploaded..."

Dr. Banner took off his glasses, and he looked at the smart tower construction program activated around the main control room in astonishment.

In a civilization of constantly turning mechanical modules, he felt as if he was in the stomach of a living metal giant.

"God, a real soul, a data soul..."

He looked at the beating data, his body was shaking, and the glasses in his hand fell to the ground.

他 说:

"Omnics are going to evolve...no, they've already."

"Just today."
