After seeing Tony, Xia Zhiye remembered something.
It seemed that Banner was still in the base, keeping Bucky company.
"My brain seems to be a little bit not working well recently." Xia Zhiye sat on the sofa, looked at the wine Tony brought over, waved his hand and said, "Perhaps, I should learn to stay healthy and drink less in the future."
"Drinking in moderation can keep the body active and energetic."
Tony poured Xia Zhiye a glass of wine and said, "But considering that you are already a centenarian, just drink in moderation."
"A centenarian?"
Xia Zhiye said, "If you're not wearing armor, do you believe I can throw you out of the atmosphere?"
"You're almost a hundred years old. Can you please stop solving problems so violently?" Tony pointed to his brain and said, "My most precious part is here."
"That makes sense." Xia Zhiye took out the small device from the decomposition space, placed it on the table and said, "Then use your precious brain to analyze this thing? Or, explain it to me?"
“That raises an interesting question.”
Tony took a look at the device and asked Xia Zhiye: "Do you want a pure, real, intelligent artificial intelligence? I tell you, this thing can make your dream come true!"
“… First of all, that’s not my dream, and secondly, I don’t want it!”
Xia Zhiye's face darkened: "Besides, you'd better not do it either."
"Why?"
Tony was confused. "What's wrong with that? People make mistakes, but computers don't."
"But when artificial intelligence has the conditions you mentioned, why do they still obey your orders?"
Tony immediately said, "Jarvis, he's questioning your loyalty!"
"I accept reasonable doubts." Jarvis was very considerate.
Xia Zhiye laughed: "Well said, it seems we should communicate more in the future."
"Look, you're starting to like Jarvis!"
"But what you said is different from what Jarvis said." Xia Zhiye sighed. Seeing Tony's expression, he knew it would be difficult to convince him, so he had to say, "I'm not interested in this thing. I'm just interested in the possible archival materials in it."
Tony curled his lips, picked up something on the table and said, "Brute force analysis can be done, but it will destroy the program. Moreover, it is impossible to get the complete data. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"incomplete?"
Xia Zhiye thought for a moment and said, "Then let me ask you, if we follow your method, how long will it take us to get what we want?"
"Unknown." Tony said this without any hesitation.
"… Then I really need to get it immediately." Xia Zhiye said, "Otherwise, after a while, I'm afraid the Hydra people will notice something. If they lurk again, we will lose the opportunity to take the initiative."
"I have also seen the list. It is indeed shocking."
Tony said, "Did you guys do a big cleanup last night?"
"That's right." Xia Zhiye shrugged his shoulders: "But even so, S.H.I.E.L.D. will probably make a large-scale personnel adjustment in the future."
At this point, he waved his hand again: "Let's not talk about S.H.I.E.L.D. today. One of the reasons I came here is to talk to you about this matter. Besides that, there is another thing I want to discuss with you."
"I think we need to talk more about S.H.I.E.L.D."
Tony looked at Xia Zhiye and said seriously, "Do you think that a SHIELD that is in full control of itself is really what we need?"
Xia Zhiye heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he tapped his fingers on the table lightly: "What do you want to say?"
“No one wants to be controlled by others.”
Tony said, "Between Fury and you, to put it bluntly, it's just a verbal agreement. When he doesn't want to, he's still the director of SHIELD. What about you?"
This is not a nice thing to say, as it is based on distrust of Fury.
But Xia Zhiye thought this made a lot of sense.
He nodded: "I overlooked it."
"So, are you still going to crack the information here by brute force?" Tony stretched out his hand and tapped the device and said, "We still have something in our hands. Hydra is still Fury's opponent. In this case, Fury still needs to rely on you... Otherwise, he will have no scruples at all. I'm worried that he will be like others, hoping to take everything into his own hands instead of obeying others."
"Although I understand that this is all your little conspiracy."
Xia Zhiye raised his eyebrows: "But you are right."
"Ha ha!"
Tony laughed, and then said, "But your consideration is correct. I also think that it might be a bit risky to proceed to that step. So, I will be very careful about this matter and will not let things develop to a point where we cannot control it."
"I hope you can do what you say."
Xia Zhiye looked at Tony with disbelief.
It's probably impossible to expect this guy to have self-control or something. I can only ask Bennett to keep an eye on him. By the way, I have to talk to Pepper and ask him not to let this kid get too cocky.
"I'm also worried sick." Xia Zhiye sighed.
"What?" Tony asked, "You've got a new quirk recently?"
"... Let's talk business. I plan to set up a research institute that belongs exclusively to our team." Xia Zhiye said, "I need you to contribute a part of the effort."
"Of course that's no problem." Tony nodded and said, "I'll get some trustworthy people to join. I can help with the venue and equipment."
"I can't rely on you alone."
Xia Zhiye said: "The current boss of Aoshi Group is very familiar to me."
"That twenty-something brat, how come you guys don't have a generation gap when you're with him?"
Tony was stunned. "I think I should have a good discussion with him later about what special tricks there are to getting along with a centenarian like you. You know, I am always very careful when getting along with you, for fear of breaking your fragile heart."
"I'm sorry, I don't have that kind of thing..."
Xia Zhiye's face darkened: "Equipment, talents, funds, including me, the three of us can pool our resources together."
"horrible!"
Tony nodded: "But I agree that if we introduce the genetic technology of the Austen Group, it may be of greater benefit and more help to us."
Of course, things can't be decided by Xia Zhiye and Tony just thinking about it.
After that, I have to make an appointment with Harry for some consultation.
When leaving Tony's place, Xia Zhiye was still wondering, he was supposed to have some free time after dealing with Hydra, why was he still so busy? (To be continued)
