Chapter 2170
Colson returned as he wished. Ultron's intervention finally gave him a glimmer of hope.
Of course, even though that's right, it's also inevitable. He became a little worried about gains and losses. Ultron's ability to solve this problem was only a possibility that Jarvis told him, and whether this possibility can be realized is also an answer that no one can confirm.
This may be the most promising choice, but it does not mean that it will be the one that will succeed. Sometimes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. After experiencing such a thing, Colson really doesn't want it. What he has now got is such a disappointing answer.
So, he was really anxious. He was eager to learn from Ultron what the result was, and he was also a little afraid and afraid, and got a bad answer from him. This made him toss and turn, and in the end, his desire for the truth suppressed all his anxiety, driving him to come directly to Ultron, who seemed to be sitting in his arms, and asked him.
"Are you sure to deal with this virus?"
"Of course!" Looking up at Colson, Ultron gave him an answer that made him feel at ease. "Alexia is extremely talented in this regard, but after all, she is just a person. The change in life level does not mean that her thinking has also undergone a transformation. As long as her talents are still within the scope of human beings, then this is not impossible to crack."
Such an answer really made Colson breathe a sigh of relief. He felt a sense of relaxation that there was a big rock in his heart and finally was put down. But years of caution did not make him feel completely relieved. After he hesitating for a moment, he asked again.
"So, how long does it take for you to develop related vaccines?"
"Soon, if you need it, about two or three hours, I can get my lab under my command to make the first vaccine. It's not a problem, at least, it's not the hardest part compared to several other issues."
Ultron's answer made Colson puzzled. What he didn't understand was that when the most difficult problem, that is, the vaccine problem, was solved, how could they have other more difficult problems? This is not consistent with common sense.
Ultron's answer clearly told him that he obviously lacked consideration on this issue.
"Vaccine research is only the first step to stop everything you are worried about. The next question you should worry more is how to make people realize the existence of the virus and popularize this vaccine before the virus spreads and even causes irreparable consequences."
"At present, although this virus has evolved a latent mechanism, from its destructiveness, this latentness should be just a short process that aggravates transmission and copes with the body's immune system response. It will eventually break out, and the result of this outbreak should be sudden death. According to the data you get, the current situation is that millions or even tens of millions of people will suddenly die at any time."
"You have to popularize this vaccine before the first incubation period of this virus. At the same time, you have to make people understand the horror of this virus as much as possible, consciously avoid contact, safe isolation and vaccination. All of this must be implemented and implemented from top to bottom by a powerful centralized institution above. To be honest, Mr. Colson, I doubt whether the current US government can do this."
This is not a question that needs doubt. Colson can almost say with certainty that the current US government is unable to do this.
The independent war between politicians will inevitably lead to some support and some opposition. And when they argue with each other and pull back, the best opportunity to control the outbreak of this virus is likely to miss it from their eyes. And at that time, even if they wake up, what can it do? Countless lives are probably humiliated by the disease, and the white bones are probably covering every inch of the land of America.
He had realized all this, but he could not change it at all. Perhaps he had this ability, but unfortunately, their appeasement policy completely threw them out of the center of power, and at the same time completely lost the ability to change everything.
Everything was like retribution, and the cruel reality made Colson unable to believe it. He was lost for a long time and his mouth was full of bitterness. He thought he had tasted the bitter fruit, but he did not expect that the real pain was still waiting for him here.
What did we do at the beginning? He asked himself, of course he could not get the answer. The future is something that is unpredictable after all, and at that time they naturally could not have thought that their concessions would lead to such a scene today.
He thought this way, but it was just a mediocre person. From the perspective of Ultron, this did not have much effect other than letting them give up on themselves. It was meaningless, so he said this immediately.
"Mr. Colson, if such news makes you depressed, then I don't think you need to listen to another news, because that news will only make you more embarrassed. I am very worried that you will be unable to help but swallow your gun and commit suicide after hearing this news..."
This is not a joke, but a certain degree of experience and lesson. Thanks to the proliferation of guns in the United States, there are many people who commit suicide by using guns every year. A small number of them are due to some accidents or stupid factors, and most of them collapse under this burden because they have endured the unbearable burden of life, and thus choose such a path of self-destruction.
This is a normal state for human beings. No matter how powerful a person is, his heart still has a limit. In the face of complex facts and unpredictable fate, few people can say that they are smiling and calmly facing them. Especially those like Colson, who are rising and falling at the top of the wave of the times, they have to bear more than ordinary people.
It is normal for such people to not bear the pressure and choose a narrow sense of liberation. It is undeniable that Colson did have such an idea for a moment.
He really thought of thanking the world for his death. However, reason clearly told him that this was not a problem that could be solved by just death. His death could only add a trivial amount to countless casualties, and this was of no use to the upcoming disaster.
If you want to solve the problem, you still have to face it. So, even though he felt that he had no hope to stop it, he still forced himself to cheer up and said to Ultron.
"You're right, Ultron, it shouldn't be a time to be depressed. Sorry, I've lost my composure."
He patted his face hard and tried hard to make himself look more energetic. Colson used this method to re-enter himself into that familiar combat state.
"Now...you said there is another problem that needs to be solved, and this problem is even more serious. So, what are you referring to?"
"The source, Mr. Colson, I mean the source."
Speaking of this issue, Ultron has no intention of shirking. He pointed it out clearly.
"Frank, he is the source of what I'm talking about."
"This virus is strictly divided into two parts. One is the part you know, that is, the virus that is now popular. It is strictly just a derivative, a product of the mysterious curse power and the mixing of the original virus strains with various bacteria, microorganisms and even other viruses in the natural environment. The reason why you find it difficult to deal with is that it is adapting and changing very quickly."
"I can clean it up through nano machines. Even if it is sufficient to cope with all bacteria and even viruses on the earth, this change cannot exceed the scope I can deal with. However, I cannot clean it from the source. Because its main body, which is the source I mentioned, is already a different form."
"This form is based more on the mysterious curse power, attached to Frank. It produces its own transformation in the form of plundering his vitality. Unless Frank's life disappears or is ended, this virus will always be created and spread to any part of the world with Frank's activities."
"Vaccines cannot protect humans forever. This means that as long as they exist, they may pose a threat to humans. Then the problem will follow. How should you and I solve such a problem? To be honest, I was a little hesitant..."
Ultron could say this, but Colson could only hide it in his heart at this moment.
He understood what Ultron meant, that is, if it was for the sake of the future of mankind, Frank, as a potential threat, could not place him there. Whether it was to completely eliminate him or just imprison him, it must be done with all actions.
However, this is not something he is willing to do. Because even a person like him will inevitably feel guilty when facing a goal like Frank.
They already owe Stark a lot. Do they really want to destroy the Stark family's last bloodline here now? If so, it would be too cruel.
Of course he couldn't bear it, but when he thought of the consequences caused by this kind of unbearableness, when he thought that countless families, countless men, women, elderly people and children were threatened by terrible and fatal threats because of his existence, his sense of responsibility made him dare not have any unbearable thoughts.
Because at this time, the unbearableness of Frank is the greatest cruelty to countless innocent people. Compared with the billions or even billions, anyone can make a choice when facing such a situation.
Similarly, he is the same. Or he has made a choice in his heart, but he can't admit it emotionally.
The inherent hypocrisy in human nature prevents him from saying such despicable things so calmly. Even though his silence has shown his attitude to some extent, he still chose this way of deceiving himself.
This is not what Ultron wants to see. He is not qualified to interfere in the decision-making between humans, especially people like Frank who have a close relationship with him. All he can do is to arrange from the side and provide them with all necessary help. How to choose depends on these humans themselves.
They should not be kind to women, because there is no room for them to do such unnecessary kindness. So he was urging him to say this to Colson.
"You need to make a decision as soon as possible, you should understand, there is not much time left for you."
“Yes, there is not much time left…”
Murmuring to himself with bitterness, Colson still had to pull out his head that was inserted into the sand. He knew that he had to face reality, so he gave such an answer after a difficult struggle.
"I will find a way to inform Congress of this. I think if there is such an opportunity to target Frank, they shouldn't miss it. Now there is only one problem left, that is, where should I go to find his whereabouts. Jarvis won't let us find him easily..."
"You don't need to worry about this kind of thing anymore. If you have this need, I will naturally help you find his place. But you need to understand that since you have made up such a determination, you have no room for kindness or mercy."
"Frank will not tolerate betrayal, whether it is yours or mine, it will only be the same for him... betrayer. His character is always extreme, so when he determines this fact, he will inevitably take revenge at all costs. This kind of revenge is not something that can be described as a small fuss. To put it bluntly, he will do his best to destroy everything you have and cherish."
"If you don't want to endure such revenge, then there's only one choice."
"Kill him?"
Staring at his hands, Colson already gave his own answer in an empty tone. He fully understood what Ultron meant, and now he did not hesitate.
