[comprehensive] villain friend

Dolores sat on the sofa, holding a hard notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, writing and drawing on it calmly, occasionally stopping to think for a while.

【What are you doing? ] Ultron manipulated Q to walk to her side.

"Make our plan—" Dolores replied, with a smile on his face, "...about the peace of the age." She stood up the paper to indicate Ultron, and drew some structural diagrams on it, indicating The preliminary plan, steps and difficulties.

【looks good. 】Ao Chuang tilted his head, 【'First... a complete body'? 】

"If we want to achieve our goals, then even if I don't want to -- I have to admit that we need some violence, against the violence of the enemy." Dolores said, "You can manipulate the machine, then we have equivalent We have built a huge team, but in addition, we need other, individual combat capabilities, because the sea of ​​​​people tactics can indeed stop the enemy for a while, but it is not enough to destroy the enemy...We need soldiers, such as..." She paused For a moment, I want to give an example.

【--iron Man. ] Ultron continued, 【Oh——I have to say, Dolores, this is very much in line with my wishes, you are right, we need a super combat power that can rival Iron Man, and be able to kill with one blow opponent's ability. 】

Dolores opened his mouth: "...Do you hate Iron Man?"

【Hate?No - I'm objective...all people are equal in my eyes, equality...ah, I remembered your article, Dolores...I like equality, that's great...Anyway, I'll All the same, including Tony Stark...although he makes me feel a little sick. 】

——So I still hate each other.Dolores thought, Tony Stark is somehow... really good.

"If you want to stand against Iron Man's armor," Dolores said, "maybe you need the hardest material for a body—"

"—Zhenjin."

【——Zhenjin. 】

The voices of the two people overlapped.

Dolores raised the corners of her lips, staring at the flickering red, Q couldn't help but smile, but in a certain superhero's laboratory, a robot sitting on a workbench with countless mechanical arms assembling its body showed He showed a smile-like expression, accompanied by the small sparks splashed by the machine assembly - no matter how abrupt this expression appeared on the metallic luster of the machine.

【I like this feeling. ] His eyes flickered slightly, and he said, 【People always need partners... Now I understand why an arrogant guy like Tony Stark would join the Avengers. 】

Dolores smiled.

The two of them are now in a very delicate partnership.Dolores guessed the other party's identity, but this identity itself was the other party's minefield, she did not intend to expose it, and the other party seemed to be aware of this tacitly - Ultron never tried to hide it from the beginning However, even though there is only a layer of window paper between them, the two of them have a tacit understanding not to poke it. Of course, this does not affect their discussion on how to create a body for an artificial intelligence.

"Speaking of vibranium, you have to say Wakanda..." Dolores said, "a small African country. But I don't know... I think they will control the production of vibranium, after all, it is a They will not allow others to wantonly develop and trade this rare raw material.”

[...but there is always a way——] Ultron paused for a while, [I found an arms dealer—they were very dishonest...got a lot of vibration gold from Wakanda...] His voice carried Some pleasure, [It's really timely, isn't it? 】

"So—" Dolores crossed out the first step, 'Find the right material', and then pointed to the next line, "We also need a suitable man to manufacture—what kind of body do you like? Human? Or metal?"

【…】

Dolores looked at each other with a questioning expression for the sudden silence.

[...well, I have to say, this is a very good question. 】

"Using vibranium as your skeleton, you will be invincible," Dolores turned the pen in his hand, "...but if we hope that the final peace will not leave a terrible impression on everyone due to the violence of a few, then you You need to be like humans."

[It sounds reasonable. 】Ao Chuang said.

Dolores moved her fingers: "...No, maybe there are other ways. Is there a body that is no different from a human being, but can be like a ghost—or in other words, approach the program itself?" She Thoughts, "Bringing the best of human and machine into one... we could try it... have you heard of the 'Cradle of Rebirth' project?"

[Not before, but——] Ultron raised his hand, the computer turned on, and all the information about the "Regeneration Cradle" project has been projected on the computer screen, [Now I have far more than 'heard'. 】

"..." Dolores stared at the information with some admiration, "This is awesome...With these materials, I think our road ahead will undoubtedly be much smoother."

Ultron accepted such praise calmly, but he was not completely dazed by Dolores' praise: [I'm more curious——The Cradle of Rebirth is an encrypted plan, which has not been fully announced to the world. How do you know it? ? 】

"Oh, that's probably because I have a father who used to work in the Security Bureau." Dolores blamed Edmund without hesitation. How about revealing your own information network?Even Ultron can only trace the existing traces, but has no way to obtain the information that has been completely destroyed... In addition, her protection of the information network has reached an extreme level.She didn't believe that the other party could find anything related.

Ultron really had no doubts.

【Mr. Edmund Hayek...he is wanted by the government. ] He seemed to search for relevant information, 【He is a Hydra. 】

Dolores didn't speak, she lowered her head and pulled the corners of her lips slightly.

It looked a little sad like that, like recalling some bad memories.

【……I'm very sorry. ] Ultron looked at her, and seemed to feel the other person's feelings, or, this was just a part of his program, which drove him to change the subject, 【...Why not continue the topic of regenerating the cradle? 】

"...The main person in charge of the Cradle of Rebirth is a Korean," Dolores said calmly, "As for the others, I don't think I know more than that information. If we hope to achieve our goal , the best solution is to win over that doctor, let her cooperate with us, and help us willingly..."

【Oh... I already have an idea, and it is not too difficult to ask the other party to help us. 】Ao Chuang said.

Dolores was silent for a moment, she seemed a little frustrated: "...In the end, I don't have much to help you, you can get sufficient and accurate sources of information yourself—whether these are classified or not, and In fact, the logic is strict," she looked at the red patch and shrugged, "I don't think I'm stronger than you...so I can't figure out why you insist on being attached to me? In fact, I don't mean much to you, do I? ?”

【Information is available at any time, for me they are as simple as breathing, but I need a companion. ] Ultron paused, 【... a friend. 】

"But I don't want to be a 'companion' who just acts as a 'mascot', Ultron." Dolores said softly, her eyelids drooping, "...that makes me feel very incompetent."

--inability.

Ultron's mind quickly grabs all the information about Dolores, and then builds a basic model based on it all-he has done this before, and now he has refined this process again.

In addition to being world-weary, she's clearly lonely and has a fear of "incompetence."

— Oh, that doesn't sound pleasant.Ultron tried to use his mechanical heart - if he had one - to understand the other person's feelings.This is not very difficult for an artificial intelligence like him. From the moment he was "born", he felt a kind of heartfelt sadness. This kind of emotional game can sometimes make people addicted... angry, sad, happy ,satisfy--

He tried to simulate where Dolores was now, and then he realized something.

They are partners.The hazy heart that is not yet complete reminds Ultron that the partner is "harmony" - the harmony he wants and can easily achieve. This kind of relationship will definitely not be like the Avengers, but more Harmonious...he could do it, of course he could.

[You're doing great, Dolores—] He opens his arms, [Make big plans, continue what you're doing, it's great, you'll be more complete than I am at some things. 】

"Without enough information and calculations, how can it be considered comprehensive?" Dolores chuckled, shook her head helplessly, her eyes were gentle, "I am very grateful for your praise, Ultron... I am also very happy to be able to With your approval - we are friends, so I can't hold you back like this... I have to admit that I really can't be called a qualified companion..."

[It's no big deal——] Ultron interrupted her, [I can give you a part of the program—it will allow you to easily obtain all the information, no matter whether they are encrypted or not. 】

Dolores paused for a moment, and looked at the other party in astonishment.

[Yes, of course——] Ultron repeated, [My friend, I give you my eyes out of trust between the two of us—for a great friendship...for a great Peace... Could there be a better idea than this? —From now on, my eyes are your eyes. 】

Dolores stared at each other, as if she wanted to see his real "soul" through the ups and downs of red, through this fast and huge current: "...I don't know what to say...you said Yes, we're friends... oh," she said with an inappropriately queer look on her face, "friend—I like that word, I'm very, very touched, and I won't betray your trust —Dear friend, I really did not think—”

She laughed slowly, and there was a heavy light in her eyes, like the joy after being flattered.

——You actually gave me such an important thing so carefreely, it didn't cost me a lot of detours.

"—you place such trust in our friendship."
