American comics: Playing Spider-Man at the beginning, wandering around and losing contact

Chapter 178 Pentagon Action

It is not easy for a mutant to develop extraordinary powers from birth.

Out of a hundred humans with mutant potential, perhaps only one, or two, will be able to realize their awakened abilities.

Such a small probability is no less than one in a hundred.

Even Magneto, a level 5 mutant, was only able to gain control of magnetism in a desperate situation after his parents were killed.

Not to mention mutants who generally have weaker abilities.

It will take more than ten years or even dozens of years from awakening abilities to honing abilities and will, and this time is estimated at the minimum.

In Xavier Academy, even if the mutants receive professional and systematic training under Charles' arrangement, it will take several years of hard work to turn them into real fighters.

During this period, many senior mutants, such as Wolverine, are needed to set an example and pass on their own experience and skills in controlling power to the younger mutants.

Only in this way can we cultivate real flesh-and-blood mutant warriors.

However, when these mutants went to battle, they were often quickly eliminated.

However, this inefficient model is too slow for machines.

In an era where most things can undergo industrial revolution and be mass-produced, mutants should also be able to be mass-produced.

This is one of the inspirations for the development of the Sentinel robot and also its core concept.

Use technology to deal with the result of biological evolution, mutants!
The Sentinel robot has a hard all-vibranium shell, and its interior is composed of special particles, which can absorb most of the extraordinary powers and perform simulated imitation learning.

It is said that this is the result of extracting the genes of a mutant called Mystique.

But no matter what, the power of the Sentinel robot is unquestionable.

Due to their powerful destructive power and exaggerated side effects, nuclear bombs cannot achieve the goal of destroying the enemy on the mainland. In order to eliminate the arrogant villain mutants, the US government commissioned the Pentagon to develop the Sentinel.

And Bruce is one of the very few among these people who truly understands the truth.

Even so, he was able to obtain some information only after asking many people for favors and relying on the support of his family.

It can be seen how difficult it is to obtain intelligence on the Sentinels. But at the same time, it also indirectly proves how mysterious and powerful the Sentinels are.

Maybe a mutant can use his explosive power to destroy a Sentinel, but what about the second and third?
Imagine a fighter who one day invents a robot that can mimic his every move. How difficult would it be to defeat him?

Moreover, even if they really win, the robots will be updated and iterated. After learning from experience, can they still win?

The answer is obvious.

"Bruce... this is not something to joke about." On the other end of the phone, the general had a tense expression and looked very nervous.

The Sentinel robot has always been one of the Pentagon's most closely guarded secrets, and he only mentioned it to a very few people, including the president.

He couldn't help but feel nervous when Bruce mentioned this secret weapon so openly.

If the phone call was monitored, or a foreign agent received the message and passed it on, the consequences would be disastrous.

"... Don't worry, General. The phone call has been encrypted by me, so there's no way anyone else would know about it." Realizing the worry in the general's words, Bruce patted his chest and assured him.

But the general still seemed to be very vigilant and unwilling to give up. He ordered his men to track the source of the telephone line.

As expected, even with the Pentagon’s technology, it is impossible for a third party to intercept the call.

"Okay... Bruce, I'll trust you for now. For the sake of your family, tell me in detail what happened?"

Although he couldn't see the general's face, Bruce could imagine the general's ugly expression from his tone.

"The Sentinel robot... is indeed under development, but the progress is not yet complete. You suddenly asked this. Is the mutant you mentioned really so troublesome?"

Bruce shook his head: "No... It's not him, but a monster that followed him all the way. That monster is truly terrifying... Mutants still have reason, and there is a possibility of peaceful negotiation, but it is impossible to negotiate with monsters."

What he was talking about, of course, was Riot, the King of the Symbiotes who had followed Kailus here.

However, the general did not understand the meaning of Bruce's words.

Bruce's unclear words, like the Riddler, made him feel annoyed.

"Bruce, what are you talking about? Do you know what a sentinel robot means?"

In this world, it is impossible for anyone to deal with a large number of sentinel robots activated at the same time in a short period of time!
In terms of individual combat, they may not be able to beat the level 5 mutants, but the combat effectiveness of the Sentinel robots under group thinking will increase exponentially!

They can share information networks to speed up their evolution and evolve ways to fight enemy mutants.

It was like an invincible army that combined brute force and intelligence. How could such an army not be terrifying?
"No... General, believe me, I am definitely not joking."

Bruce's tone was extremely certain!
after awhile.

"Please take a look at the energy spectrum I sent to your IP address. The energy detected here is the enemy we are facing."

Bruce sent over the energy amplitude map of the symbiote riot that the system had previously detected.

Sure enough, after looking at the picture, the general's voice trembled slightly.

"This... this is really possible for life on Earth to exist?"

The life index of the riot has exceeded that of all creatures on Earth for billions of years! Not only humans, but even the best mutants cannot compare to it!
It is impossible to believe it until you see the results with your own eyes!
But now, he really appeared before the general.

"You're not mistaken..." Bruce shrugged with a wry smile, "Otherwise, I wouldn't be so anxious to ask you for information."

"According to my reasoning, only by using sentinel robots can we fight against this creature."

"But... the sentinel robot still has the last part of its research to complete. If it is dispatched at this time..."

After thinking for a while, the Pentagon general gritted his teeth and made the final decision:

"Okay...Bruce, I believe you."

"I'll have someone fly a helicopter and send a positioning device over. After the device lands, the sentinel robot will automatically track the location of the device and kill any mutants nearby."
