Lu Mingfei doesn't want to be a superhero

Chapter 319 The Birth of Ultron

Lu Mingfei's home, in the laboratory.

As Lu Mingfei's secretary, Wanda held the folder and stood at the experimental table. Her eyes gradually became dull as she watched the two people in white coats busy discussing some complex models in front of a holographic screen.

What's on the screen? What are they talking about? Why can I understand every word they say but I can’t understand them at all?

Is this human language?
After resting for a few hours, she felt much better, so she wanted to fulfill her duties as a personal secretary, at least help Lu Mingfei sort out the information, or give him a cup of coffee.

After the results came, I realized that I seemed to have entered a completely new world that I didn't understand at all. For Wanda, whose family had been broken up since childhood, wandering around, and who may not even have a high school education, the theories and theories that Lu Mingfei and Zhao Hailun talked about Formulas are more difficult to understand than the language of aliens.

"Very good. In this case, it shouldn't be a problem to replace those core organs." Lu Mingfei nodded and enlarged the model on the screen. "However, the brain nerves cannot be replaced. No matter what material they are replaced with, it should cause memory impairment and Impaired brain function.”

Although he hasn't had time to conduct experiments yet, Lu Mingfei can deduce just by looking at the model and data that the current regenerative cradle technology can only detail the structure of a carbon-based life except the brain.

Once it involves changes in the neural and tissue structure within the brain, various problems can arise.

And so far, neither he, Helen Zhao nor Tony have any ideas to solve this problem.

"Well...at least judging from the current technology, it should be impossible," Lu Mingfei shook his head, "It is not difficult to transform highly differentiated single biological cells and tissues and retain their original physiological functions, but it is not difficult to transform them to have the function of division. The fertilized eggs will significantly interfere with the expression of genes... It is difficult to imagine what the final development of the mouse embryo will be like. It may be directly used as a prop in Cronenberg's horror movie."

This technology is epoch-making for ordinary people. Except for brain injuries, no matter where the body is disabled, it can be compensated and replaced with the corresponding prosthetic body.

Banner was polite and didn't say much - due to Hulk's special characteristics, in order to avoid attracting unnecessary covetousness, he has been semi-anonymous.

"No," Lu Mingfei shook his head, "It's still too troublesome to assemble this thing in my lab. I haven't assembled it, but Tony's lab should have one."

After all, although he wanted to make a Transformer, he would definitely not be so crazy as to use living people as materials, and the size of living people could not support the size of the Transformers.

Lu Mingfei stopped here.

"It doesn't matter, Lu Mingfei and I can handle it right away." Zhao Hailun said.

"Forget it, just making a model still lacks enough data support. Let's do an experiment with the regenerative cradle and collect the latest data first." Lu Mingfei said.

"This is really not used much in the laboratory," Tony said. "I built several oversized ones in the mirror space, and Deadpool's transformation was completed using those."

The technology of using a regenerative cradle to modify the brain was of little use to him.

"Oh, you are here," Pepper looked at Lu Mingfei and Helen Zhao who were walking side by side. "Tony said he is in the laboratory now, so you can go directly to him."

"Holy crap! How long has it been? And what do you mean by the first batch! How many more batches do you plan to make?" Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched.

"Are you Dr. Bruce Banner?" Helen Zhao was a little surprised, "I didn't expect to see the long-lost physicist here."

He rarely said polite words like "I'm sorry" to people, but considering Dr. Zhao's talent and her relationship with Lu Mingfei, it was somewhat polite.

"Almost." Tony said.

"Dr. Banner, good afternoon." Lu Mingfei walked over.

From a certain point of view, he hopes to make a substance like Tony's "Dragon Blood Metal", a combination of metal and biological tissue, and then assemble it into a Transformer, and finally use artificial intelligence and the like to carry out the process. Control.

This time, Wanda, who was Lu Mingfei's secretary, did not come with her. Although she and her brother had temporarily put aside their hostility towards Tony because of Lu Mingfei, it did not mean that they wanted to see the man who indirectly killed their parents. Enemy.

Entering Tony's laboratory through the elevator with Helen Zhao, Lu Mingfei glanced over. Although Michael didn't know where he had gone, there was another acquaintance there - Dr. Banner.

Lu Mingfei suddenly said: "Then how many Deadpools have you created now?"

"No problem, the regeneration cradle is in that room," Tony pointed to a door in the laboratory, "But I haven't used it much recently. If it is to be enabled, it will need to be debugged again."

"I'm thinking, although we can't directly modify the brain of an organism," Zhao Helen's eyes lit up, "but can't we try to modify the fertilized egg of a mouse? Let it directly develop into a mechanical mouse?"

"Well...I'm sorry, Dr. Zhao, I have something to tell Lu Mingfei, which may delay you for a while," Tony said.

After watching Helen Zhao enter the laboratory and close the door, Lu Mingfei looked at Tony and wondered: "How is it possible that the regeneration cradle hasn't been used much recently? Don't you have to use this..."

Of course, the good news is that Lu Mingfei thought about it carefully and found that he didn't seem to be able to use this function.

……

Tony's house.

Lu Mingfei was a little surprised. He had asked Jarvis to inform Tony before he came, but Tony had no intention of coming out of the laboratory now. He was probably conducting some important experiment.

"Indeed..." Zhao Helen fell into deep thought.

"That's it. Then I'll go and adjust the regeneration cradle first. Mingfei can come to me after you guys finish talking," Zhao Hailun said, "Mr. Stark, I may have to borrow a few more mice from you."

As she spoke, Zhao Hailun quickly walked into the laboratory - she couldn't wait to perfect these theories. As long as all these theories can be applied, the regenerative cradle will progress to the point where it can create a body with no brain. A biological steel body with all physiological functions intact.

The trouble is on the one hand, but more importantly, he is away from home all year round, and the laboratory at home is actually not safe enough. Therefore, whenever he has any valuables, he will ask Tony to keep them for him before leaving - such as Loki's scepter.

Although Tony suffered from neurasthenia due to his obsession with research for a period of time, he renovated the laboratory so that the sound insulation effect was almost more exaggerated than that of a recording studio. Even if they danced outside, Helen Zhao, who was adjusting the regeneration cradle in the room, would not notice at all. But Lu Mingfei still didn't say it directly.

If a regenerative cradle is built in his home, although not many people know about the existence of the regenerative cradle, if an organization similar to Hydra appears again and knows that there is a regenerative cradle in his home, then what will happen? It's so easy to get your hands on.

When Lu Mingfei and Helen Zhao walked into Tony's house, Pepper was reading a financial statement on Tony's sofa.

"Good afternoon, Mingfei, and um... Dr. Zhao, right?" Banner said.

"What's almost done?" Lu Mingfei wondered, "I'm asking you how many Deadpools you have created."

"I mean, the first batch of Deadpool Legion is almost complete." Tony said.

Although she was surprised to see a long-missing physicist here, Helen Zhao mainly focused on using the regenerative cradle to verify the guesses and models she and Lu Mingfei had made, so she did not talk to Dr. Banner. After saying a few words, she eagerly asked Tony to lend her and Lu Mingfei the regeneration cradle.

"Do you have a regeneration cradle here?" Zhao Hailun asked.

Although Dr. Zhao agreed to share the technology of the regenerative cradle with Tony, she did not know that Tony was using the regenerative cradle to create an army of mechanical deadpools.

"After Dr. Zhao leaves, I will take you to the mirror space and you will know. I have to say, Michael is really easy to use," Tony said. "As for how many batches to make...it depends on what we want." How strong are the enemies we face?”

How strong are the enemies you have to face? Lu Mingfei's heart moved, and he remembered his "old rivals" that God Odin had told him.

Those "old rivals" do not refer to a few powerful individuals, but to civilizations and countries that were forced to surrender after being beaten by Asgard led by young Odin.

Well...a group of powerful civilizations that at least have interstellar battleships or other means of interstellar movement.

"Build more, you'll need them sooner or later." Lu Mingfei sighed and patted Tony on the shoulder. Tony:? ? ?
"Mingfei," Banner, who had been standing nearby, said, "Tony said you could use the scepter, so I borrowed it. How long will it take? Tony and I need it to create a super artificial intelligence capable of commanding all Deadpools."

After a pause, Dr. Banner scratched his head: "I'm not rushing you, but I don't have much time to spare. I also have to teach Strange magic, so..."

"I've done it." Lu Mingfei took out a small lead box and opened it, revealing the mind gem emitting yellow light. "Here, this is the essence of the gem on the scepter."

As he spoke, Lu Mingfei closed the box and handed it to Dr. Banner: "Be careful, don't touch it directly. There is strong energy in it and it may hurt people."

"Tony, come and get it." Banner handed the box to Tony without hesitation.

"Hey," Tony rolled his eyes, "I didn't know you were such a greedy person, Banner..."

"I'm not afraid of death, but things that can hurt me are likely to irritate the Hulk," Dr. Banner reminded. "If you don't mind letting me transform in your laboratory, it doesn't matter if I hold it." ”

Tony quickly took the box from Banner: "How could I let my friend get hurt?"

Lu Mingfei:...

……

Give the Mind Stone to Tony and Dr. Banner and let them create the necessary super artificial intelligence.

Lu Mingfei went to perfect the regeneration cradle with Dr. Zhao.

So the next week, the two of them occupied half of Tony's laboratory.

Of course, it can't be said to be occupation, because Tony and Dr. Banner are missing.

Helen Zhao was so obsessed with experiments that she didn't pay attention to the disappearance of the two people. She even didn't notice it at all, and even if she did, she didn't bother to think about it.

And Lu Mingfei knew very well that those two people must have gone to the mirror space to develop super artificial intelligence. After all, they were creating that super artificial intelligence in order to control the Deadpool Legion. They must have been directly in the mirror space with the Deadpool Legion. It is most convenient to develop here.

After a week of intense experiments with an average of just over four hours of sleep a day, Lu Mingfei and Dr. Zhao finally transformed the ideal regenerative cradle.

Although it is still a long way from being able to theoretically directly create a new mechanical life - or the ultimate version of silicon-based life, at least the current regenerative cradle can already create any mechanical life organ except the brain.

In the regeneration cradle laboratory.

Looking at the white mouse lying motionless in a metal coffin with an iron-colored luster all over its body, Lu Mingfei and Zhao Hailun looked at the scan results, looked at each other again, and cheered at the same time.

"Okay! It worked!" Zhao Helen almost jumped up.

"Phew, it's finally done!" Lu Mingfei also looked excited. In his short scientific research career, this is undoubtedly the greatest invention he has ever created - although he did it together with another scholar.

"Mingfei! We are going to be recorded in the annals of human history!" Zhao Hailun grabbed Lu Mingfei's shoulders and leaned in front of him with a face that hadn't been washed for several days. Even though the dark circles under his eyes were thick, he could not hide the excitement. "In the future our name may be tied with Darwin's."

"Calm down first, don't faint again like last time..."

Lu Mingfei is relatively calm. After all, strictly speaking, as "God" and "Prince Nidhogg", it is reasonable for him to be recorded in the history of the universe, not to mention the history of mankind.

Before Lu Mingfei could finish speaking, Zhao Hailun, who had been cheering for joy just a second ago, rolled his eyes and fell down softly.

Lu Mingfei skillfully supported her, put her on a large scanner in the corner of the laboratory, and started the instrument. After a while, the instrument popped up a bunch of data. Lu Mingfei read it from top to bottom and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's nothing, just low blood sugar and lack of sleep."

"Oh... is it necessary to work so hard? Your intensity in doing experiments is almost catching up with mine." Lu Mingfei picked up Dr. Zhao and complained as he went out.

Carrying her out of Tony's laboratory, Lu Mingfei happened to see Pepper in the living room: "Oh, Sister Pepper!"

Pepper looked at Lu Mingfei, then at Helen Zhao, whom he was carrying on his shoulders, and then back at him with complicated eyes: "Mingfei, what are you..."

"Oh, Dr. Zhao fainted from doing experiments too hard," Lu Mingfei said, "You can find a guest room at Tony's house so she can rest."

Pepper covered her face: "Don't you, those of you doing research, have any normal people?"

"Am I abnormal?" Lu Mingfei pointed at himself.

Pepper glanced at him and said nothing. He just walked over, took Helen Zhao from him, supported her and said: "It will take time to prepare other rooms, but fortunately, there is always a guest room for you here, so Zhao Doctor, how about taking a rest in your room for now?"

"No problem." Lu Mingfei nodded.

Great, you two can always enhance your relationship by taking a break together, right? Pepper thought.

"Then please, Sister Pepper, please help me send Dr. Zhao there. I'll go find Tony in the laboratory." Lu Mingfei said.

"Huh?" Pepper was stunned, "Aren't you going to rest?"

"Not yet." Lu Mingfei shook his head.

Although he was indeed a little tired, he was not tired enough to rest.

And he is now very curious about the stage of the super artificial intelligence created by Tony and Dr. Banner.

Pepper: ...

……

Back in the laboratory, Lu Mingfei took out the Eye of Agamotto and pointed it at an open area.

Although it was difficult for Lu Mingfei to use the Eye of Agamotto as a magic weapon because he did not want to be in debt like other mages and did not borrow power, but as a top-level magic weapon, even if it lacks energy, it still has power after all. Some special little functions.

For example, although he cannot cast mirror space magic, he can use the Eye of Agamotto to reach a certain connection with Tony's mirror space - provided that Tony actively cooperates, so that he can use the Eye of Agamotto to enter Tony's mirror space. , in order to prevent Tony from finding a way out of Lu Mingfei's life and death in the mirror space.

As the Eye of Agamotto lit up slightly, the space a few meters away in front of Lu Mingfei was as cracked as a mirror.

Walking into the cracked space, the light in front of him changed with the feeling of weightlessness. As soon as Lu Mingfei set his feet on the ground, he saw himself appearing in a steel factory.

The first thing that caught his eye was a huge holographic screen. The pictures on the holographic screen were extremely complex, like a galaxy in motion, and a bit like a massive number of interconnected neurons.

In front of the holographic screen that was changing like a galaxy, Dr. Banner and Tony, who had dark circles around their eyes, were as excited as stimulants and strode towards him: "Mingfei, you are finally here, look at us. The super artificial intelligence created, Ultron!”

Lu Mingfei:...

Why do you behave like this when doing research?
