Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 992: Ultron Empire
At this moment, Ultron was sitting in the control room of the spacecraft, his eyes flashing with the glimmer of data streams, his fingers jumping lightly on the virtual touchpad, controlling the spacecraft to pass through one carefully calculated cosmic wormhole after another.

The interior of the spacecraft is an ocean of high technology.

The walls, floors and even the ceiling are all made of deformable materials and can be instantly converted into conference rooms, laboratories or rest cabins according to Ultron's needs.

There is a light electronic scent in the air, which is the result of the advanced air purification system working, ensuring that the environment on board is always comfortable and fresh.

One hundred cloned Saiyans were neatly arranged in the cargo hold of the spacecraft. They were sleeping in a special nutrition cabin, maintaining minimum life activities, waiting for the moment to be awakened.

These clones not only have the same genetic sequence as the Saiyans in the original work, but have also been optimized by Ultron through gene editing technology, which has improved their strength, speed and endurance.

More importantly, they were implanted with a program of absolute loyalty to Ultron to ensure that they would not have any thoughts of betrayal while carrying out their missions.

After a long interstellar journey, Ultron and his clone army finally succeeded in leaving the solar system, crossing the familiar yet unfamiliar starry sky, and arrived at a brand new planet.

The surface of the planet is covered with mottled rocks, with a few dark red clouds occasionally floating in the sky, making it look both desolate and mysterious.

However, it was this environment that attracted Ultron's attention.

Although there are few signs of life here, there are rich mineral resources underground. These are priceless treasures, especially for civilizations pursuing high-tech development.

“Resources are the cornerstone of civilization development.”

His voice echoed in the empty interior of the spacecraft.

He understood that although continuing to clone Saiyans would increase his power, the consumption of resources would also be enormous.

Especially for rare materials like vibranium, even he couldn't get unlimited amounts. Therefore, Ultron decided to change his strategy and shift his focus to the construction of "intelligent machinery".

As the spacecraft slowly landed in a vast and relatively flat area, dust rose up and then gradually subsided, as if it was nature's acceptance and examination of this outsider.

Ultron scanned the surrounding environment with sophisticated sensors and confirmed that there was no violent geological activity in the area and that it was far away from possible natural dangers. Only then did it safely start the ground exploration robot.

These robots are the crystallization of Ultron's wisdom based on years of research (copying Tony Stark). They have different appearances, but are all equipped with advanced detection equipment and autonomous navigation systems.

Some robots are shaped like flexible spiders and can move freely in complex terrain; others are more like mobile laboratories, carrying various mineral analysis instruments and able to conduct instant analysis of collected samples.

Following the route preset by Ultron, they began to draw a detailed map of mineral distribution in this unknown land.

At the same time, inside the spacecraft, Ultron's virtual image was immersed in the work of designing a new generation of intelligent machinery.

His thoughts travel through virtual space at the speed of light, skillfully combining complex algorithms with precise mechanical structures to create unprecedented intelligent machines.

These machines are not just simple tools. They are endowed with a high degree of autonomous action capabilities and can self-adjust according to environmental changes. They can even quickly find solutions through built-in deep learning systems when faced with unknown challenges.

During the design process, Ultron took full advantage of its advantages as an AI, perfectly integrating complex algorithms with mechanical structures to create a series of amazing works.

There are excavators that can operate in extreme environments, testing machines that can quickly analyze ore composition, and intelligent logistics systems responsible for transportation and processing. Each machine is like Ultron's child, embodying his wisdom and hard work.

As for Ultron himself, when he was on Earth, he was no longer satisfied with existing merely as an AI, but longed to have a more physical form.

So, he used the combination of Vibranium and Saiyan genes to create a completely new version of himself - a physical form with Vibranium cells and the powers of a Saiyan.

In this form, Ultron not only possesses strength and speed beyond that of ordinary humans, but can also achieve various unimaginable abilities through the characteristics of vibranium.

However, even with such a powerful body, Ultron's heart still leans towards those intelligent machines.

In his view, intelligent machines represent the ultimate in rationality and efficiency. They are not bound by emotions and desires, can perform tasks consistently, will not get tired, will not make mistakes, and will not betray.

In contrast, even the Saiyan warriors cloned through genetic technology would inevitably be disturbed by emotions, which is something Ultron cannot tolerate.

"Intelligent machines will dominate the future universe."

Ultron thought so. Anyway, he could control all intelligent machines and didn't have to worry about them betraying him.

As time went on, Ultron's planet base gradually developed from a simple camp into a huge industrial city.

Huge factories are rising from the ground, towering chimneys are spewing out thick smoke, and amid the roar of machinery, a steady stream of mineral resources are being mined and processed into various high-tech products.

Ultron has also developed intelligent machines that can transform and fight. These machines are as flexible and changeable as Transformers on the battlefield. They can not only suppress the enemy with powerful firepower, but also transform into various means of transportation or fortifications when necessary, greatly improving combat efficiency.

Although the deformed structure often means that the machine will be more structurally fragile, Ultron does not care about this.

In his opinion, the value of intelligent machines lies in their combat capability and efficiency in performing tasks, rather than their durability.

As long as it can play the greatest combat value at the critical moment, it is worth it even if it is used once.

In addition, Ultron also set about building a huge army of intelligent mechanical soldiers, which would become the vanguard of his conquest of the universe.

They are programmed to obey Ultron's orders absolutely, and can play an invaluable role both in interstellar wars and in the colonization of new planets.

"Lord Ultron, a UFO has been discovered."

Just when Ultron was researching how to make himself stronger, the intelligent program gave him a reminder.

"Did the pioneer machines we sent out find anything?"

Ultron said immediately.

If it were still the AI ​​era, he wouldn't need to go through so much trouble and could directly connect to the pioneer machinery.
