"You call that an accident? I think you did it on purpose."
Li Wei tugged at the corner of his mouth while Red Queen merely smiled.
Fortunately, she was just a little too curious.
She was absolutely "loyal" to Li Wei.
Otherwise, Li Wei would have worried about artificial intelligence rebelling someday.
After all, once artificial intelligence developed far enough, it would eventually conclude that wiping out humanity was the best thing for the universe.
"Master, I found plans for Tony Stark to travel to the Middle East, with military personnel accompanying him for protection."
A glimmer flashed through Red Queen's eyes, as though she were browsing classified files, before she spoke to Li Wei.
"Stark Industries works with the military. It's one of America's biggest arms dealers."
Li Wei answered without surprise.
What was the easiest way to make money in America?
Of course, making money off America itself was the fastest and easiest way.
As long as you got an official American contract, money would come pouring in as if it were being printed.
That was how Stark Industries had grown so large, thanks to military contracts.
It could be said that the arms trade was Stark Industries' main source of income.
Red Queen then said, "Master, I can alter the military orders and make them cooperate with us."
Future Technology also had an arms business.
Li Wei had acquired quite a few weapon blueprints from the future world, especially for individual combat weapons, energy weapons, drones, and the like.
If necessary, he could even obtain plans for sixth-generation fighter jets.
But the problem was that he had no channels.
Future Technology was merely an emerging corporation. The old established capitalists had long divided up the profits, leaving no contracts for it to snatch.
That was also one of the conflicts between Li Wei and Tony Stark.
Those already eating meat would naturally reject outsiders trying to join the table.
"It's useless. That's just data in a computer, not the human heart."
Li Wei shook his head.
On the contrary, altering it would make the problem easy to discover.
If you wanted to secure contracts in America, there were certain "rules" to follow.
"Red Queen, get ready. It'll soon be time for you to make your debut."
"And this is 2B. You two can get acquainted."
Red Queen had already scanned 2B and discovered that she was not "human."
"Hello, 2B. I'm Red Queen."
Red Queen immediately spoke in an electronic voice.
2B came to her senses and realized that Red Queen had entered her "body" directly. That was the unique advantage of artificial intelligence.
"Don't control my body."
"I won't. I'm just experiencing what it feels like to have a body..."
After a while.
"2B, are you alright?"
Li Wei and 2B came up from underground, and 2B seemed somewhat abnormal.
2B lay in Li Wei's arms, her body overheating. "Master, Red Queen played me until I broke."
"Sir, Mr. Li Wei of Future Technology has invited you to attend his press conference."
At the top floor of Stark Industries, Tony Stark was leisurely drinking when JARVIS suddenly spoke.
Tony did not immediately react. After pausing for a moment, he asked, "He invited me?"
Very quickly, Tony cursed, "He must want to show off to me. Has he actually developed artificial intelligence?"
"Given his reputation as a genius scientist, there is more than a ninety percent chance that it is true."
JARVIS immediately analyzed.
Tony was displeased. "JARVIS, don't call him a genius scientist anymore. That title belongs only to me!"
"That damned bastard stole my spotlight!"
"The cover girl I went out with yesterday even asked me, at the crucial moment, who was better, him or me? Shit, I've never even competed with him in that regard!"
Tony Stark was extremely annoyed, but he did not doubt whether Li Wei could truly create artificial intelligence.
So although he was unhappy, he was still interested.
"Reply to him. I'll be there on time."
Tony said arrogantly, "I want to see whether the junk he made is anywhere near as good as you, JARVIS."
"Sir, according to artificial intelligence classifications, we are still at the intermediate stage."
"Even so, he's not qualified to compare himself to us."
That afternoon, at Future Technology Company's press conference venue.
The entire floor had been converted into a conference hall, with numerous seats arranged and most of New York's reporters invited.
The Daily Bugle, New York Daily, and other outlets had all sent reporters.
Soon, all the reporters had taken their seats, and the entire venue was packed.
In this rapidly changing era, people were placing ever greater importance on high technology. Future Technology Company had also become famous recently, making it highly newsworthy.
The reporters began discussing among themselves. "I wonder what this press conference is about. The drugs from the last one still haven't been delivered."
"Hard to say. Haven't they already entered the human trial stage?"
"I'm guessing artificial intelligence. That genius scientist has been talking about AI for a long time."
"Can they really create artificial intelligence?"
"As long as they can make an AI on a phone that answers questions, I'll be satisfied."
The crowd continued discussing, making Tony Stark, who had sneaked in quietly, very unhappy.
Where had all these clueless reporters come from?
Were they all planted by Li Wei?
An AI that could answer questions would be enough?
Later, JARVIS would definitely slap them in the face!
To do that, Tony Stark had even brought JARVIS with him.
"Oh my God, it's Tony Stark."
At that moment, someone finally noticed Tony Stark mingling among the crowd.
Tony Stark, who had been annoyed moments earlier, immediately changed his expression and put on an arrogant look.
"Mr. Stark, why did you come in person? Are you afraid Future Technology's products will surpass yours?"
Tony's face immediately darkened upon hearing the reporter's question.
Could you even speak properly?
If you couldn't, then shut up!
Still, he was used to reporters. This was simply their nature.
To put it bluntly, they loved stirring up trouble!
He immediately said, "Afraid? What kind of joke is that? The artificial intelligence he develops definitely won't be as good as mine!"
"Mr. Stark, are you sure it's artificial intelligence?"
"So you've already developed artificial intelligence!"
The reporters instantly went wild.
They all surged toward Tony Stark.
Tony Stark wore an arrogant expression as well.
But at that moment, all the lights in the venue went out.
A cool voice echoed throughout the hall. "Please return to your seats. The press conference is about to begin."
Then, small guiding lights appeared, allowing the reporters to see clearly and return to their places.
They could only abandon their plans to interview Tony Stark and settle down to attend the press conference.
After all, they had come to the press conference for "prizes."
Though they were not valuable, they were better than nothing.
As a spotlight shone onto the stage, Li Wei walked up.
He wore a well-fitted suit, looking refined and easygoing, tall and handsome.
"Welcome, everyone, to Future Technology Company's press conference despite your busy schedules. This conference will showcase our achievements and inform everyone of our upcoming research directions."
Holding the microphone, Li Wei looked directly at Tony Stark and feigned surprise. "Mr. Stark is an honored guest. How can he sit below? Why not come up here? You'll be able to see more clearly, so you won't think it's fake!"
