"Get up." He solemnly declared in the dark room.
This is a room that no one other than him can enter at any time. What is gathered here are the alchemical products he created with the ether particles of the Philosopher's Stone. All the creations in the cultivation vat have some unexplainable soul connection with him. . The artificial people wake up from the viscous nutrient solution that is about to dry up. They have perfect looks and figures that can make everyone feel ashamed, as well as fair and rosy skin and bright white long hair, but their unchanged facial expressions make people feel ashamed. shudder.
The unnatural aura caused by excessive perfection makes them like a tool, a doll, rather than a living person. But anyone who knows the alchemical engines and magical metal skeletons in their bodies will not question the power hidden under their fragile appearance. When they put on the power armor prepared by Salomon, they will become sharp knives that cannot be underestimated on the battlefield. .
The artificial people followed Salomon's order and walked out of the culture tank, walked into the collective bathroom next to the room, and washed away the viscous nutrient solution still hanging on their bodies. When they came out dripping wet, all the culture tanks disappeared, replaced by white bath towels and a set of clothes and shoes. They dried themselves off, but the odor of milk, blood, and grease in the nutrient solution couldn't be completely masked by body wash and shampoo.
Salomon was not disappointed by the indifferent expressions of the artificial people.
Intelligence is not so easy to cultivate. Now artificial people know who Salomon is, who Dinah is, and their mission, but they have never experienced a real dialogue. The alchemical core does not provide emotions. The subsequent life in the Eternal City will teach them many things. They have enough free will to behave like real humans, but the mission given to them by Salomon will limit them. their lives and behaviors.
For example, how to fight, how to communicate, and how to deal with emergencies. What things should be known and what should not be known. Dinah would teach them, and Salomon would teach Dinah, since she was their commander.
"Each of you will have a name." He felt the emotional connection coming from the artificial people. Although weak, it is like a smoldering fire. With just a breath, his creation will burst out with uncontrollable passionate emotions towards him.
This is the weakness and strength of Homonculus. They have absolute loyalty and a series of problems that absolute loyalty brings.
"As long as you are loyal to your mission, you will earn my respect. When you put on your clothes, you will meet your commander, and she will teach you everything you need. Be confident, girls, don't be confused, your Service will continue until the end of time.”
Next, the android legions will undergo shooting training and swordsmanship training. Wakanda is already speeding up the production of the weapons and equipment Salomon needs. With the help of the Princess of Wakanda, bolters and bullets that cannot be used by ordinary people began to be mass-produced. This small rocket-propelled tungsten core bullet is the most powerful weapon of the Android Legion. Although it has not been tested, the power of the bolt gun and the benchmark M430 grenade launcher should be similar.
As for the close-quarters combat that has been criticized by T'Challa and Su Rui, the knight's long sword and short knife have become reliable helpers for the android legions.
"Close combat is the mainstream." Salomon preached his combat philosophy to T'Challa, "I am not afraid of bullets and flamethrowers. The only thing that can challenge me is close combat. In future battles , combat is not all beyond visual range, because many places do not have satellites for guidance. Some enemies are not afraid of fire and radiation, and then it is time for the long sword to come into play."
The Wakanda royal family, which did not add long-range weapons to the Black Panther armor, could not refute Salomon's approach, because Wakanda also prided itself on its superior close combat capabilities.
T'Challa pointed to the circular building and asked, "Is this the training ground you prepared for those machine girls?"
"Yes." Salomon said, "Swordsmanship requires constant practice. I have been practicing swordsmanship and spearing for many years, just like you. No matter how the times change, nobles must practice these skills."
"You also know how to use a spear?" T'Challa looked at the training tools placed aside, with an eagerness to try in his tone.
"A shorter Spartan spear." Salomon was not offended by T'Challa's challenge. Instead, he wouldn't mind a friendly match with T'Challa. As the cooperation between him and Wakanda deepens, frictions in concepts and culture are inevitable, and a harmonious game can alleviate some conflicts.
For example, Su Rui has withdrawn from the actual process of genetic modification. She is now only responsible for theoretical work and auxiliary work of gene alchemy. The experimental process is still in the hands of Ms. Maya Hansen.
"Where's the shield?"
"Buckler."
"It was heavy, and I chose to use a Kikuyuno shield and a short spear. You get a sense of the craftsmanship that comes from Wakanda."
"I'm looking forward to it," Salomon said with a smile. After this game, he will hand over the decomposition force field copied by Stark to researchers in Wakanda for further replication, and then the android army will be fully equipped.
Then he will take the artificial human army to help the artificial intelligence solve a small problem as a reward for "opening up" to the artificial intelligence.
Then, he will have the preparations to control all information in human society.
It sounds no different from the villain in the comics, Salomon laughed to himself. If his purpose is exposed, then in the eyes of Stark, Steve Rogers and SHIELD, Salomon will become a typical villain in the comics, and finally defeated by the heroes of justice.
But the problem is, Salomon doesn't think he will lose.
————————————
The departure of the android maid had a great impact, and the most direct impact was that the witches ate Hawaiian pizza for a whole week. Although it was just lunch, it was intolerable to the witches. It's not that serious, it's just that the witches' mischief in the kitchen made the pizza even more unpalatable - but the French beef gravy that Dinah was going to make ended up on Salomon's head, and there was no such sauce. , many French dishes cannot be made.
Bayonetta is responsible for keeping an eye on the beef bones and various meats in the oven, ensuring that the ingredients do not burn when the fat is fully roasted. Joan of Arc was responsible for cutting the vegetables, and then throwing the chopped vegetables into the meat ingredients that Salomon had prepared. As for Salomon, he was sorting out the various stocks he had put in the refrigerator. You don’t need to add too much water to cook French beef gravy, but stock is still necessary. In addition, white wine is also necessary when stewing meat.
French beef gravy needs to be simmered for three or four days to achieve the perfect taste, so this kind of thing can only be performed by artificial humans who don't need too much sleep. Those were the times when the entire apartment was filled with the appetizing aroma of beef juice.
Now because of Salomon, the android maid had to do another thing. This resulted in Salomon being kicked out of bed by Bayonetta amid Joan's ridicule, and the chubby Cheshire Cat lay in the witch's arms, occupying Salomon's original position.
The Cheshire Cat purred and turned over, not caring at all about his master's embarrassment.
"This is your punishment for not coming home on time for dinner, Boya." The witch said with a smile, "This is the only cat today."
The witch's pun made Salomon smile helplessly. Once Bayonetta started talking about adults, she would not stop easily.
This evening is sure to be quite enjoyable.
