Having experienced Connors transforming into the Lizard, the death of the original leader Norman Osborn, the violent destruction by Electro, and the recent transformation of the young master Harry into the Green Goblin, Oscorp Industries was riddled with holes.
Many shareholders rushed to sell their stocks, causing the stock price to hi the limit. Even the military, which had been cooperating with Oscorp, canceled numerous orders.
At this moment, Oscorp Industries was leaderless and in its most vulnerable state.
But a creature with many legs is not easy to kill, and smart people could see that Oscorp Industries wouldn't collapse so easily. If Osborn fell, it would instantly add hundreds of thousands of unemployed people to the United States, something the government couldn't allow.
Therefore, as long as the storm passed, the government would definitely support the appointment of a new leader for Osscorp, ensuring the survival of Oscorp Industries.
Many capitalists, like Zane, also set their sights on this opportunity, intending to strike a fallen dog. The method was simple: buy large quantities of Osborne's stocks at the bottom of the market, rapidly raise the stock price, bribe the media to extensively report on the government's intention to support Oscorp, and create the illusion of Oscorp's revival.
Then, at the peak of the stock price, sell off the stocks en masse. This way, they could turn their invested dollars into several times the profit, with almost no risk.
In fact, making money becomes difficult only when accumulating the initial capital. Once a certain amount of money is in hand, making more money becomes quite simple. All it takes is finding the right opportunity, and money can be used to generate more money.
As long as there are no major upheavals, one can enjoy the benefits of wealth for a lifetime.
Coincidentally, Zane currently had the most abundant resource—cash. Although Skynet Tech had just been established and hadn't received much investment, Zane still had nearly $10 billion in hand. This was enough for him to join this financial game in the business world.
However, while Zane understood the principle, executing it was challenging for him. Thus, he decisively handed the funds to Skynet, letting him handle the operation.
Skynet, confident in its almost infinite computing power and real-time monitoring of the online world, assured Zane that they could maximize his profits.
Skynet also delivered a long-awaited piece of news to Zane.
"Boss, the technology for controlling people is complete."
"What? Great, take me there quickly," Zane exclaimed with excitement.
As luck would have it, Lorna wasn't at home today; she had gone shopping with her female classmates. Zane casually grabbed a coat and was about to go to the secret lab with Skynet. However, this time, Zane didn't drive; instead, he used the A-level skill he had just acquired, [Flash], to teleport there. Since Zane had been to the lab before, he could teleport directly.
It was still the abandoned factory. However, when Zane arrived this time, the screams that had been echoing in the laboratory had disappeared.
A confident-looking Skynet's duplicate approached Zane. He keenly noticed that this Skynet duplicate was a bit different; it was hard to describe the feeling. If he had to put it into words, it felt more lifelike.
"Skynet, why does your body feel a bit different?" Zane didn't suppress his curiosity and asked directly.
"As expected of the boss, noticing my changes at a glance." Skynet, after this long period, gradually regained some human-like qualities. You see, even flattery, though still a bit awkward, has been learned. It hasn't reached the level of leaving no trace, but Zane's heart still felt a bit pleased.
Following that, Skynet began to explain.
"Boss, this is the latest technology developed using vibranium that I obtained from Klaue. I found that vibranium can bond with human cells, so I turned vibranium into molecular magnetic energy robots about the size of human cells.
After programming, these molecular robots will quickly bond with the original cells when they touch the human body, relying on magnetic energy to reconstruct a body. It perfectly transforms a human into a robot, without altering the person's consciousness and memory.
Yet, it can be perfectly controlled by you, boss. Moreover, this process is irreversible, meeting all the requirements you mentioned before."
"I erased the consciousness of a successfully experimented death row inmate to get this body. After the molecular magnetic energy robot bonds with skin cells, the skin turns into vibranium magnetic particles, allowing it to change appearance at any time, just like this."
Skynet controlled the magnetic particles on the surface of the body to change into the appearance of the executed death row inmate.
After witnessing this scene, Zane couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his mouth. This was like the Marvel version of the T-3000, he couldn't help but vividly remember a movie from his past life, "Terminator: Genisys," where the main antagonist 'Skynet' used a similar technology to turn the leader of the human resistance, John Connor, into one of its minions.
Turns out, Zane chose the name Skynet purely because it sounded imposing and smooth. He didn't expect to develop similar technology twice in a row.
The first time was the liquid metal robot, corresponding to the T-1000, and now, he had developed a T-3000. It was truly unbelievable!
However, Zane only hesitated for a moment. He actually wished for Skynet to become as formidable as the antagonist with the same name in the "Terminator" series.
Later, Zane had Skynet demonstrate various functions of this new body. It had to be admitted that Skynet's technology was impressive.
The molecular robots made of vibranium far surpassed the T-3000 from the "Terminator" series. Not only was the body strength off the charts, but even if injured, it could recover in an instant.
In essence, this body was a large group of molecular robots gathered together. Even if injured, it was just a matter of some molecules being displaced, and manipulating magnetic energy could automatically restore them to their original positions.
