Leo had already had the idea of building a mechanical army a long time ago, but at that time he was suffering from various obstacles and could not break through, so he had to put it in the back of his mind.
After he recently obtained Pym particles, this idea came to his mind again.
With Pym particles, the mechanical army is already easy to carry.
Moreover, his mechanic panel contains a variety of weapons, so it can be said that the technical obstacles are gone now.
However, there are still financial obstacles to building a mechanical army!
Leo is increasingly discovering that the profession of mechanic is simply a waste of money!
The manufacture, use, and maintenance of mechanical weapons all cost money.
The Viper armor he is currently wearing consumes a lot of electricity every day.
In the end, he had to steal...
However, the large-scale Ark reactor is almost completed, and the energy problem will finally be solved.
But now Leo only relies on the company's "meager" income, and it is impossible to support the expenses of a mechanical army.
As the saying goes, a man cannot be rich without external wealth, and a horse cannot be fat without night grass.
Raw materials, weapons, ammunition, and mechanical instruments worth billions of dollars are now in front of Leo, and they are still ownerless. Of course, he wants to take them.
But how to take these things away?! Leo was worried about this matter at this time.
These things are not currency or gold, they are real goods.
Their size filled dozens of caves, and they weighed tens to hundreds of tons when moving. It would take several months for Leo to slowly resist them.
Moreover, Leo is not the only one who is interested in this base.
The US military has probably sent people to search nearby. After all, they knew the coordinates of this base earlier than Leo.
If it takes at least half a day or as long as one day, this place will definitely be exposed.
When the time comes, they will legitimately take these valuable things as their own.
With such a large amount of wealth, Leo, who was short of money and supplies, certainly didn't want to give it up.
So he held his chin with his hand, sat on Dr. Zola's hibernation device, and started thinking about whether there was any way to transport these supplies quickly.
Suddenly, an idea flashed across his mind.
The smile reappeared on Leo's face. He raised his hand and put on his helmet. After shrinking himself to the size of an ant, he flew out along the cave and soared into the sky.
Looking at the direction, he was actually speeding towards New York City.
Leo was very anxious at this time, and his flying speed was even faster than when he was chasing the missile just now.
So it only took ten minutes for him to fly back to the El Building and get into his laboratory.
In the laboratory, he returned to normal size, took off the Viper VI with a wave of his hand, shrunk it, and put it into his pocket.
Eh?!
When Leo returned to the laboratory, he suddenly felt something strange, as if something was missing in the laboratory.
By the way, where's Stim? Why didn't you hear its "buzz~buzz~buzz~" sound?
Leo, who was doubtful, began to look around the laboratory with his eyes as he walked.
After waiting around for a while, Leo finally found Stim in a corner of the laboratory.
There is a network port next to the corner, and Stim is "lying" here at this time.
Leo squatted down and was as tall as Stim.
"Stim, Stim?"
Leo waved his hand in front of Stim's eyes.
But Stim remained silent.
Leo frowned, looked at Stim carefully, and found that Stim's colorful light eyes had been closed at this time, and the work indicator lights on his head were all out.
Stim turned off automatically!
Boom!
"Stim, wake up!"
Leo tapped Stim's head twice with his hand, trying to get Stim to restart.
But it still didn't move.
Could it be that this guy is out of battery?!
Leo was very puzzled. Not only did the power supply provided by Stim have a large capacity, but it could also charge itself. Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen!
In the end, Leo was helpless and could only bring a laptop, then he pulled a stool and put the laptop on the stool.
He then removed the outer cover on Stim's round head, then integrated two thumb-thick wire heads into it and inserted them in.
Immediately, dense parameters were displayed on the laptop, clearly identifying Stim's current status.
[Energy remaining 87%...
All hardware tests passed...
…
Checking core database...
An unknown exception was found and self-repair failed. Please troubleshoot manually...】
"Fuck!"
Leo suddenly made a sound of surprise.
The test results shocked Leo. Stim's core data was in a mess. There were actually two types of data in it, and they were tangled up.
Moreover, these two types of data are extremely active, and are rapidly generating all kinds of redundant data, which is almost overwhelming Stim's hard drive storage.
Leo frowned and activated his mechanical power all over his body. He stared at Stim and activated his mechanical insight and mechanical analysis skills at the same time.
In the special mechanical vision, there are two light groups of different brightness but similar color on Stim's body, which are colliding with each other.
Like a general when two armies are facing each other, he fights back and forth in the enemy camp.
At the same time, a system prompt also popped up in front of Leo's eyes.
[The parsable target "Multifunctional Intelligent Robot Stim" has been found. Do you want to start parsing? 】
"yes!"
Leo thought silently in his heart.
【Under analysis...】
[Analysis completed...]
With the help of the mechanic system, Leo finally figured out what happened to Stim.
Another type of abnormal data that appeared in Stim's core database turned out to be Dr. Zola's consciousness!
However, this consciousness is somewhat incomplete, only about half of Dr. Zola's consciousness data.
But just this half of the consciousness data can already compete with Stim for control of the robot's body, and the battle is evenly matched.
Leo's brows furrowed even more tightly at this time. He stared at the notebook on the stool and tried to type in the code several times, but finally stopped.
Now Stim's consciousness data and Dr. Zora's incomplete consciousness data have been tightly intertwined.
If Leo forcibly deletes data, he can only delete both types of data together.
Equivalent to formatting.
In that case, the personality that Stim has developed now will disappear, and the person who wakes up after the restart will be the original version of Stim with a arrears IQ.
Leo has been with Stim for over a year.
When he works alone, he is only accompanied by a "buzzing" artificial intelligence.
So he doesn't want to erase Stim's existence.
Leo looked at the computer screen for a long time, and finally could only sigh, took a hard drive with the largest capacity in the laboratory, and connected it to Stim's storage device.
Providing Stim with a broader battlefield is the limit of what Leo can do.
In the end, whether Stim's consciousness is preserved or Dr. Zola's consciousness prevails depends on Stim's own fate.
After working for so long, Leo had been delayed for more than ten minutes.
At this moment, he is also racing against time with the U.S. military to compete for the wealth in the Hydra base.
So he could only put aside the matter of Stim for the time being and prepare to use Pym particles to create a huge storage box that can be shrunk.
But before Leo went to work, he suddenly thought of something.
Who knows whether Dr. Zola will win in the end? It would be a big deal if Dr. Zola wakes up after winning and controls the robot body to cause trouble in Leo's laboratory!
The next moment, Leo flew to the side of the mechanical tentacle arm, put on the engineering suit, and then turned back to Stim.
He is like the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, and also like a group of demons dancing around.
In less than thirty seconds, Stim had no arms or legs, leaving only a big round head and a pillar-like torso.
Moreover, the signal transceiver in Stim's body was also removed by Leo, so that he could not control various equipment in the El Building as usual.
In this way, no matter who wakes up in the end, they can only stay there and stare, patiently waiting for Leo's trial.
