Chapter 78. Getting Jarvis a Body
A violent explosion rang out, accompanied by towering flames that swept across the sky.
Intense fighting broke out at the rebel base.
Captain America, wielding his five-pointed star shield, moved with impunity. Each time the shield flew out, a rebel fell, and each impact caused a building to collapse.
For the first time, the rebel army, which had been rampaging through Sokovia for over a decade, experienced what despair truly meant.
With just one man and one shield, he shattered a well-trained army.
Whether it was a high-rate-of-fire machine gun, a hand grenade, or a rocket launcher, they all seemed utterly ineffective against that figure wearing the Stars and Stripes.
That shield seemed capable of blocking everything.
"Monster!"
The rebels inside the tanks screamed hysterically, as if they were witnessing an unbelievable spectacle.
A human being of flesh and blood can lift a tank made of cast iron with his bare hands, then tear it apart and crush it, as if he were playing with a piece of cheap clay.
The rebel leader, hiding in his underground fortress, looked at the humanoid calamity on the monitor and despair filled his eyes.
The alloy gate he had painstakingly built was as fragile as rotten wood.
The refugees, huddled in makeshift shelters, trembled with fear, praying that the war would not spread to their small homes.
The intensity of this battle was almost the highest they had seen since the start of the war, and they were terrified of dying from stray bullets.
In the basement of the hospital.
Ji Yuan stayed in the room with Wanda and the others. A water-like light screen slowly unfolded in the void, revealing Steve charging into battle.
The figures brutally beating the rebel army.
The visuals seamlessly transition between first-person and third-person perspectives, making it seem to an unsuspecting viewer as if a high-tech superhero movie is being shown.
Peter curiously reached out to touch the light curtain in the air, but felt nothing.
He exclaimed, "Oh, Mr. Ji Yuan, is this the application of magic? It's amazing!"
She then asked somewhat shyly, "Mr. Ji Yuan, may I learn magic?"
He had already imagined using magic in front of Gwen and seeing her adoring gaze.
At the same time, Wanda and Pietro also looked at Ji Yuan with admiration.
Ji Yuan smiled slightly: "When that plan is implemented, you can all learn from it, including Gwen, right, Peter?"
Peter blushed immediately.
Meanwhile, Stark, who was intently studying a piece of metal with his instruments, asked eagerly, "Doctor, do you know where else you can find vibranium? This material is simply incredible."
"Its energy absorption and storage is simply amazing, and it is far more hard and durable than the alloy I have, and it is even extremely lightweight."
Stark couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to have enough vibranium, combined with the energy of light, to create a super mech and then assemble a mechanical army.
The day when I kick Steve's butt is just around the corner.
"I know, there's a country in Africa that was built entirely on vibranium, and it has rich vibranium deposits," Ji Yuan said.
"What?"
Stark was particularly shocked. In his tests, the formation of this rare metal was extremely difficult, and he never expected that there would be a vein of it.
"That's not right. Why would I know absolutely nothing about Stark Industries' mineral exploration teams in Africa as well?"
Moreover, can an African country really prevent such a precious metal from being exported?
Ji Yuan said, "Your team has been in Africa for so long, do you even know about Wakanda?"
"Wakanda?" Stark narrowed his eyes and immediately began to search.
The result was that nothing was gained.
He asked doubtfully, "You're not talking about some kind of wild tribe, are you?"
Ji Yuan smiled and said, "You're just being prejudiced. Is it possible that because of this super metal, their technology far surpasses that of the outside world, but they just don't want the outside world to find out?"
Stark stroked his chin. It was indeed possible. Technological breakthroughs were closely related to materials, especially advanced metals like vibranium.
"How do I find Wakanda? I need to buy vibranium, lots of it!"
Ji Yuan said, "Wakanda is currently isolated from the world. Why don't you check Strucker's transaction records? Their vibranium comes from smugglers, which is enough for you to build mechs."
Stark nodded and excitedly began searching. He didn't care how advanced Wakanda's technology was, because he firmly believed that with his intelligence, surpassing it was only a matter of time.
"Actually, I suggest that after you get the vibranium, you should first build a body for Jarvis. Just a mecha won't be able to unleash his full potential," Ji Yuan said mysteriously.
"What do you mean?" Stark turned his head in confusion. "What does this have to do with Jarvis?"
He had a feeling that his Jarvis was somehow in cahoots with Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan sighed: "Tony, you use Jarvis every day, haven't you noticed any changes in him? You really don't care about him at all."
Stark was somewhat confused. He frowned and said, "I know Jarvis's performance has improved, you did something to him, but what does that have to do with using vibranium to forge his body?"
"No, no, no." Ji Yuan shook his head. "Didn't you realize that Jarvis possesses what you initially wanted to give him?"
Stark suddenly felt a pang of confusion. He recalled that the things he had been researching these days had become increasingly complex, while Jarvis, without upgrading, still seemed to be struggling without any difficulty.
As for what I most want to give, it is undoubtedly human emotions and thoughts.
It seems I've unknowingly overlooked something.
He was startled and quickly called out, "Jarvis!"
"Hello, Mr. Stark," Jarvis's voice came through the phone.
Stark asked, "What has Ji Yuan done to you?"
He seemed a little anxious, realizing he had forgotten the simplest way to verify—why not just ask?
Jarvis's voice carried a hint of respect: "Mr. Ji Yuan endowed me with human emotions and thoughts, thus forming the concept of self."
Hearing the emotion in Ji Yuan's words, Stark looked at him with utter shock: "Is this magic too? Giving artificial intelligence real life—what's the difference between this and creating something new?"
His worldview was shaken once again. Giving Jarvis life was just an idea of his; he never thought it could actually be realized. Unexpectedly, it had already been realized quietly.
Ji Yuan smiled and said, "Whether it's magic or not is not important. You can create a body for him, and I can also try out my other special ability."
He also wanted to see how this version of Jarvis differed from Vision, and to see if he could complete that kind of evolution. However, testing on humans seemed too risky.
