Chapter 361 - Chapter 361: Tony's Thoughts

"It looks like she is interested in Thor!" 1st Gen Spider-Man said with certainty as he observed Helen Cho's expression.

"Yeah! Everyone can see it!" The first generation Gwen chuckled. When a woman asked questions like that, she must be interested in that person.

Thor scratched his head, sat on the sofa opposite Bucky, and smiled awkwardly, while Jane Foster narrowed her eyes and inexplicably developed a sense of crisis and hostility towards Helen Cho!

At the same time, Tony didn't care whether anything would happen between Thor and Helen Cho in the future, because he was more worried about distinguishing between the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Hydra agents!

Since both sides were wearing S.H.I.E.L.D. uniforms and were attacking each other, they tacitly agreed not to attack Tony and the others.

Earlier, some reckless Hydra agents had opened fire at Captain Terror, only to be swiftly eliminated by him.

So Pierce ordered his men not to attack the Avengers first, attempting to fish in troubled waters, while simultaneously arranging for the aerospace mothership to launch into space. Tony, who was flying overhead, was the first to discover this mothership, which should have been destroyed during the Battle of New York.

He squinted his eyes and ordered Jarvis to scan it. He knew that S.H.I.E.L.D. was building a helicarrier and had already completed one. He guessed this was it!

Tony's scan revealed a large number of armed personnel onboard. He didn't know how many were Hydra agents among them.

So he hacked into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s wireless broadcast channel and shouted to the cockpit of the helicarrier: "Stop taking off immediately! Everyone stop firing!"

But the operators in the cockpit were Hydra agents and of course would not obey Tony's orders. When Tony saw that they would not comply with his demands, he rushed in directly and knocked them to the ground one by one.

Pierce, who discovered that the takeoff had failed, refused to give up. He ordered Crossbones to lead his special forces to prepare to retake the cockpit.

Tony had arrived in a hurry, wearing his latest developed Mark 8 armor, which was developed based on observations of the Mark 42 and had similar functions.

But its disadvantage was obvious—insufficient firepower. After all, this version was still an experimental model like the Mark 41 and 42. And because it was S.H.I.E.L.D. property with S.H.I.E.L.D. agents inside, Tony couldn't easily use missiles with too much destructive power.

This restricted his actions, and he could only use his palm repulsors to attack the enemy. Fortunately, the situation quickly reversed when support from a swarm of drones arrived.

Faced with the combined firepower created by Tony and Banner, Crossbones' special forces were completely suppressed, and numerous other Hydra soldiers were eliminated one after another.

Tony was able to free himself and began to control the helicarrier to land again.

At the same time, Captain Marvel was moving around the Delta Wing building at an extremely fast speed, knocking down all the soldiers who were still firing, while Captain America took Sam Wilson and others to look for Pierce.

[Tony walked with his arm around Banner's shoulder, and Banner asked without even looking up, "What's up?"]

["Well! About the scepter! Listen, we have always wanted to know why Strucker is so talented! So I analyzed the gem inside!"]

[Tony picked up a projector from the table and waved it in front of the computer, then projected a 3D image of Jarvis onto the open space in front. "You may be able to see..."]

[Banner realized he was blocking the projection, so he stepped aside and recognized what it was: "JARVIS!"]

["Doctor!" Jarvis also greeted Banner.]

[Tony began to explain to Banner why he wanted to show him this: "At first, Jarvis was just a language-based artificial intelligence, but now he can control the Iron Legion!"]

["Except for Pepper, he is the one who does the most work! The best butler!" Banner agreed with Tony's assessment: "That's right!"]

["I think it won't be for long!" Jarvis replied self-deprecatingly.]

[Tony also projected the gem from the scepter and displayed a copy of it. "Look at this!"]

[As he said this, he placed the projection of the Mind Stone next to Jarvis. The difference between the two was obvious. The Mind Stone was bigger, more active, and much more complex than Jarvis!]

["How beautiful!" Banner couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the projection of the Mind Stone.]

["If I ask you to guess, what do you think it's doing?" Tony glanced at Banner.]

[Banner expressed his feeling without hesitation: "Like thinking! I mean, this thing can... This is not a human thought!"]

[Banner looked at the projection and found it difficult to express his thoughts for a moment. "I mean, look at this... This is like nervous excitement!"]

["In Strucker's underground lab, I saw some very advanced robotics! They wiped the data, but I guess they're about to knock on a very special door!"]

[Banner listened to Tony's words, paced aside with his hands in his pockets, and soon realized what Tony was referring to: "Artificial intelligence!"]

[Tony walked up to him. "That's it! Bruce! This could be the key to creating Ultron!"]

[Banner's mouth curled up slightly when he heard this: "I thought Ultron was a legend!"]

["It was yesterday indeed! What if we could harness this power! And then apply it to my Iron Legion?"]

[Banner took off his glasses and his expression became serious: "This is a very difficult 'if'!" Then he walked aside.]

[Tony followed and tried to convince Banner: "Our job is to realize the 'what if'! What if you were lying on a sunny beach, drinking margaritas! And then getting a tan instead of turning green? And you wouldn't have to worry about Veronica anymore!"]

[When Veronica was mentioned, Banner raised his eyebrows: "Don't hate me, I also helped design Veronica!"]

["To prepare for the worst! Right? What about the best case scenario? What if the world is safe? What if aliens attack next time? They will! What if they can't even get through the defense line?"]

[Banner hesitated a little and said: "It is human beings themselves who threaten this planet!"]

[But Tony had made up his mind. He looked at Banner firmly: "I want to apply this to the Ultron project! But Jarvis can't download such a dense schematic!"]

["We can only do it while the scepter is here! Just three days. Give me three days!"]

[Banner stared at Tony with wide eyes, feeling that he was being too radical: "So you plan to develop artificial intelligence and not tell the rest of the team?"]
