Dizziness, accompanied by darkness coming in waves like a tide.
"I am..."
Ivan Ivan Vanko shook his head in pain.
"Am I not dead?"
The memories before coma resurfaced, and Ivan Ivan Vanko was a little surprised and confused.
The extremely violent large armor of Lee Stein was still vivid in his mind. He still clearly remembered that he turned to escape, but was caught up by Lee Stein and punched to pieces.
It was not just the armor that was broken, but his own body as well!
The whole body was torn into pieces by the violent force with a "tear" like a rag, and various body fluids burst out and splashed in all directions. Even if I think about it now, the nerves of my body will subconsciously feel a faint pain.
"Am I not dead? Or the people from Hydra took me back and made some changes?"
Ivan Ivan Vanko frowned, full of doubts.
Perhaps because of his previous experience, his first reaction was to check his surroundings.
The dark alley, and... the garbage pile beneath me!
"This is the alley where I fell after being hit by Lee Stein's large electromagnetic cannon!"
Suddenly awakened, Ivan Ivan Vanko looked at his body with some horror.
His body was covered with black burn marks and congealed blood scabs.
It turns out that the pain in my body was not neuralgia caused by the memory of death being too deep, but a real injury - the same injury as the last time I fell!
"Ivan·Ivan Vanko?"
A hoarse, deep voice sounded that was very familiar to Ivan Ivan Vanko.
"That Hydra member from last time!"
Ivan·Ivan Vanko was shocked in his heart.
Although the specific reason is not clear yet, judging from the current situation, it seems that he has really traveled through time under the influence of some kind of force and arrived at the last night.
"Who?"
Ivan Ivan Vanko, who was thinking a lot in his mind and had not yet determined the situation, finally decided to act cautiously and controlled his body to react exactly like last time.
As expected, this Hydra member still started to win over him.
He did not refuse. Putting aside his inner vigilance and doubts, Hydra's resources and technology were indeed indispensable to him now.
"If the timeline is really reversed for some reason... it seems that we can't be as impulsive this time as before..."
"Haha, size is strength... If I remember correctly, the Calamity Demon God plan in Hydra Base is now their main project. If I take the initiative to help them improve it, these madmen will definitely not be stingy with resources..."
The confusion gradually faded away, and Ivan Ivan Vanko, whose thoughts were a little confused, followed the hooded man to the snow mountain base again.
Assign labs, dormitories, assistants... those same processes.
Ivan Vanko did not dare to reveal his familiarity with the base, and tried his best to play the role of a stranger who was slightly unfamiliar. It was not until the two assistants, a man and a woman who were actually surveillance, were dismissed that he finally settled down again.
[Beep! The host consciousness has returned to stability, Mechanical Overlord System officially begins binding...1%...5%...10%...]
"Who! Come out!"
Ivan Vanko, who had finally relaxed his body and mind, was suddenly startled and jumped up from the chair.
This time he was no longer acting like before when he faced Hydra hooded man, but he was really shocked.
The laboratory was empty, he was the only one, and... the voice had no source at all, it seemed to come directly from his mind.
[System binding completed! Intelligent assistant starts running!]
[Hello host, I am the intelligent AI Red Queen of Mechanical Overlord System. I am very happy to serve you!]
"What system, get out!"
Ivan Ivan Vanko, who had just experienced death and various strange phenomena, shouted angrily and looked around for possible sources of sound.
[Sorry, Red Queen has no physical body and cannot complete the action of "rolling". Red Queen relies on the existence of Mechanical Overlord System, and Mechanical Overlord System has been bound to the host and integrated into the host's brain, or soul.]
"Brain? Smart chip?"
Ivan Ivan Vanko didn't reply, but he felt even more frightened inside. He directly found some scanning equipment and started to scan his whole body.
Smart chips sounded wonderful, but he didn't think so.
As long as it is an electronic device, there is a possibility of being hacked. Especially for him who is proficient in information technology, he is very aware of the hidden dangers of this thing.
And since this thing is implanted in the brain, who can be sure whether it interferes with thinking or body functions.
[Host, there is no need to look for it, this system is created by high-dimensional life, there is no physical hardware, and low-dimensional life cannot observe it.]
While Ivan Ivan Vanko was scanning himself, the electronic synthesized voice calling himself Red Queen was also chattering in his mind.
And the fact is just as Red Queen said, he tried all kinds of methods to scan himself, but he couldn't find any foreign objects in his body that didn't belong to his body.
"What the hell are you?"
After working for a long time, Ivan Ivan Vanko felt deeply powerless when faced with such an unknown object that was invisible and intangible.
Perhaps a little resigned to his fate, he lay back on the chair in his laboratory, intending to have a good talk with the unknown life form in his mind.
[Host, I have said it before, I am the intelligent AI Red Queen of Mechanical Overlord System. As for Mechanical Overlord System, you can think of it as a special "software program" created by high-dimensional life forms.]
[Host, please rest assured that this system is not hostile to the host. You were already dead and were reborn through the reverse timeline of rewards bound to the system. If the system is hostile to you, there is no need to do anything extra.]
"I was resurrected by you?"
Ivan·Ivan Vanko was shocked.
He had no doubt about Red Queen's claim that he was dead. After all, the feeling of being torn apart by Lee Stein was still vivid in his mind.
[To be precise, it is Mechanical Overlord System who resurrected you. Considering the uncertainty of the status of the intelligent life form bound to the system, Mechanical Overlord System will be given a rebirth number when binding to the host, and Red Queen is just the intelligent AI of Mechanical Overlord System.]
"Number of rebirths? Does that mean you can also resurrect other people?"
Ivan·Ivan Vanko's breathing gradually became heavier.
His father Anthony Ivan Vanko has always been a pain in his heart. His father's words "I'm sorry, I can't leave you anything" when he was lying on the hospital bed before his death have almost become a nightmare that he must face every night.
[The Mechanical Master can resurrect you, and naturally can resurrect anyone else, but the rebirth reward is only for you, and your rebirth times have been exhausted.]
"I understand, what is your purpose? Or what price do you need me to pay?"
After receiving this answer, Ivan Ivan Vanko became even more emotionally unstable, but he forced himself to calm down.
He had to pay a price, which he expected. He never thought that pie in the sky would fall. The most expensive things in the world were often the "free" ones. If Red Queen really agreed to him unconditionally, maybe he would have to doubt the authenticity or consider the pros and cons.
[Mechanical Overlord System is manufactured for Cybertron civilization Unicron and is used to collect different knowledge of each civilization. This system follows the principle of equivalent exchange. Any host contribution including humanities and customs, social systems, scientific and technological materials, etc. will receive contribution points, among which scientific and technological materials have the highest value.]
[Correspondingly, by consuming points, the host can also purchase or randomly draw various rewards such as scientific and technological information stored in the system database, cross-dimensional equipment support permissions, cross-dimensional item delivery, etc.]
[The number of rebirths is cross-dimensional remote device support and is limited to the host's personal use. If you want to resurrect other designated characters, the host needs to spend more contribution points to purchase timeline retrieval, carbon-based life positioning, carbon-based life resurrection and other permissions for mixed use.]
"Knowledge? Points?"
Ivan Ivan Vanko's eyes flickered and he decided to give it a try.
He turned on the computer, and after some tapping, he easily broke through the restrictions of Hydra Base and connected to the Internet. Then he searched through the search engine and found a lot of common knowledge such as humanistic customs and textbooks and chose "Upload".
He didn't see any action from the AI named Red Queen, but a "scanning completed" sound came directly into his mind, and at the same time it reminded him that he had gained a thousand points.
"Let me draw a lottery."
Maybe the value of these materials is too low. It's obviously a lot of stuff, but it's just enough for a so-called random draw.
[Okay, deduct one thousand points and start random drawing...]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining three-star technical information: Glory Type III Wireless Power Base. The host can access the obtained technical information at any time on the retina screen.]
"Is it true? This kind of technology..."
With the guidance of Red Queen, a display screen projected onto the retina was controlled to open a solitary folder. Inside, there were extremely detailed technical descriptions and experimental data, and even the development process was clear at a glance.
After just a cursory glance, Ivan Ivan Vanko was shocked.
He now really believed that the system that appeared inexplicably in his mind was really the product of other civilizations.
At least he had never heard of this extremely perfect wireless transmission technology that he saw now.
Machinery, energy, and networks are what he is good at. If this kind of technology appeared on Earth, there is no way he would not have heard of it.
What's more, once this kind of wireless transmission base appears, it will undoubtedly set off a huge era change on the earth, just like the change from the steam age to the electric age and the information age. It is impossible to be so quiet.
"Better try the so-called delivery of physical items again..."
"This kind of thing that appears out of nowhere out of control must not let down our guard, but... maybe we can make use of it for the time being. Anyway... I can't do anything about it."
