The high-temperature gas continuously dissolved its metallic body, raising a large amount of white smoke, completely engulfing Ultron’s form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn’t fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So powerful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultron walked out from the white smoke, lavishly offering praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the high-temperature plasma would continue to dissolve the metal for a while, and black smoke kept rising from its body, making it still hard to see its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the metal body protruding from the black smoke, the damage was far less than Lille had estimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shield protruded from Ultron’s chest, a circular shield with a Union Jack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s my shield!\" Captain Carter exclaimed, clutching her bleeding arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The paint on the surface of the circular shield dissolved under high temperatures, the pigment evaporated and liquefied, ultimately forming a chaotic, multicolored skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal legs stood firm. Ultron’s remaining half head emerged from the black smoke, one hand catching its dripping metallic liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, this is your shield. Thank you for delivering a 67-year-old package.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille’s controlled robot stepped out from the cave simultaneously, with smoke rising exaggeratedly from its gun barrel—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made sense now. Ultron was created during a battle a few weeks ago when the Iron Soldiers had completely removed AI combat restrictions, leading to unforeseen changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille also knew about this process: In the Cyberpunk World, many AIs were indeed born in unregulated work environments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder they couldn’t retrieve the shield; it was stolen by Ultron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this case, the Kermandgo that Tony Stark cried out about might have died at Ultron’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultron pointed to the surrounding Atlas soldiers: Frank had just crawled out of the rubble, one leg already openly fractured, the white bone piercing through the skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conditions of the other teammates weren’t much better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining 16 Iron Soldiers, under Ultron’s instruction, pointed their repulsion cannons at the still-struggling soldiers, making everyone hesitant to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultron was about to show off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille quietly watched the robot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a dangerous critical entity, Ultron had an obvious personality flaw: When it believed the situation was under control, it liked to show off and talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the shield was not all-powerful. It seemed Ultron’s small mind hadn’t learned enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as well, Lille needed to cool down the gun barrel and await the secondary effects of the weapon, so he simply stayed at the cave entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultron raised one arm, pointing at Lille:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How interesting, you claim not to be a war monger, yet you have made all war preparations, enhanced prosthetics, military exoskeletons, atomic energy, and just like me...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Artificial Intelligence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultron pointed for about two seconds, perhaps hoping the Little Octopus controlling the robot would greet it, but it didn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it immediately retracted its arm, walked a few steps forward: \"Okay, anyway, the biggest pacifist in Mei Country mastering and deploying large amounts of military technology already proved one thing...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultron approached step by step, and two Iron Soldiers walked two steps forward, knelt on either side of the road, and opened all safety buckles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It casually pulled out a few parts from the two Iron Soldiers, patching its plasma cannon wounds, and then plunged its hand into the Iron Soldiers’ fuel tanks—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah... High-energy concentrated oil, this stuff! This is awesome! I can make it more powerful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille found it a bit funny: Had Ultron fried its brain?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how powerful fossil fuels were, with nuclear energy available, it still went for oil?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be because Tony hadn’t created a nuclear reactor that changed its preferences?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultron, like an addict, drained all the fuel from the two Iron Soldiers. This so-called \"high-energy concentrated oil\" underwent some kind of transformation inside its body, its chest glowing like a nuclear reactor!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It walked up to Lille, pointing the repulsion cannon at the robot’s head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With this batch of fuel, and driving you off this land... I can start my plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A plan to eliminate war.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The repulsion cannon gathered energy, making a slight buzzing noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille stared intently at Ultron’s pipelines. On its metallic body, especially around the wounds from the plasma cannon, the metal had undergone subtle, almost imperceivable changes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultron’s \"wound\" heated up again due to the repulsion cannon’s function, the radiation-tainted metal slightly hardening, drawing closer to the body’s core—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodbye...!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sizzle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultron’s head suddenly erupted with massive arcs of electricity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the moment Lille had been waiting for: Radiation energy would accumulate in the electronic components, semiconductors would experience voltage shifts and current leaks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Ultron’s on-site modifications caused the radiation-tainted metal to release high-energy radioactive particles again, directly hitting the electronic components, generating a single-event effect—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined, they produced an electric pulse within Ultron before it could react!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gun barrel had cooled down, lifted again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You talk too much! Attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultron’s head was blasted to pieces, unexpectedly causing the entire Ultron network to lag!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the moment Ultron was distracted, Captain Carter sprang into action, rushing straight for the shield!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a second, five plasma cannons hit the Iron Soldiers. Ultron snapped out of it, seeing Lille reaching a large hand toward him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Lille was going to invade it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, as an AI, Lille couldn’t overcome this AI in a one-on-one network confrontation, but Lille had AI too! And more experienced!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the Little Octopus, limited by remote transmission, couldn’t instantly defeat this AI, but it could certainly lock Ultron here via the network and invade its servers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Little Octopus: Boss, you guessed right, it is indeed the Sixth Fleet detachment of Somalia.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Little Octopus: Done, the stationed officers are probably dumbfounded.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near an unnamed port at the Somali port of Gellekayu, the Wakandan coast patrol saw something unbelievable—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stolen Mei Country warship!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ship, Prince T’Challa swallowed: Unexpectedly, the Mei Country people weren’t fabricating the scenario of \"losing a warship\"; their warship was actually stolen by the Somalians!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The signal from Somalia to alert him came from here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[T’Challa: Lille? You guessed right, the warship is indeed here...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: Great, I remember that warship is in good condition. I’ll find you a user manual from the Defense Department.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[T’Challa: Uh?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: The Sixth Fleet stationed at Gellekayu has been taken over by me. Whatever you do, they won’t know.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: Now, you have two choices. The first is to return the ship to the Mei Army, but they definitely won’t thank you and might slander you instead.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: The second choice, form the African Union Navy First Fleet now, and declare that the Mei Army Sixth Fleet detachment violated Somali sovereignty—]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: Attack their ships, capture their officers, and send the parts and people back together.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[T’Challa: Huh??]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>T’Challa’s head buzzed with question marks, but Lille had more to say:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: By the way, and there is no transitional Somali Government anymore. Somali Government officials are all on the African Union warship.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[T’Challa: Huh???]\u003C\u002Fp>",1179,"2026-06-03T12:33:12.910Z","2026-06-03T12:33:19.802Z",1,"novelbin.me","e50ea0f30e46de74fbae9b054d5c9c2c50c126d0b38242476edd451d2baeaebb","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-441","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-439",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
