Chapter 494 Let Me Do It Myself (Please subscribe and read, monthly ticket recommendation!)
"Gideon, help me lock onto potential enemies around me, monitor the machine's operation, and report to me at any time!"

As a relatively traditional engineer, Pat did not take artificial intelligence very seriously, thinking that it was just a more efficient search engine.

Therefore, he handed over the repetitive work of the robot to Gideon, and he acted as the robot's brain to make judgments.

As a true artificial intelligence, Gideon does not operate in the same way as humans.

The programs running in the robots are only a tiny part of his huge data. He uses more computing power to monitor the flow of data on the network and help the Justice League do more important work.

Although Pat's words sounded somewhat commanding, as if Gideon was just a tool, he did not refute, but silently took over the other parts of the robot and acted according to Pat's ideas.

"You little brats from the Injustice Society, I'll treat you to a freshly-baked iron fist! Look at how powerful I am!"

Pat was very excited. He stretched out his palm, which was half the size of a person's body, picked up a soldier from the Injustice Society next to him, and threw him several hundred meters away with a little force.

He watched as the warrior of the Injustice Society turned into a small black dot in the sky, drew an arc in the blue sky, and then fell heavily to the ground.

"Humph, this is what happens when you're a bad guy!"

Pat cheered loudly among the robots, expressing his excitement to the fullest.

He has never actually been on the battlefield. During his time in the Justice Society of America, he has been in charge of logistics due to his outstanding engineering skills and physical fitness.

After the main members of the Justice Society of America suddenly disappeared, although he traveled to many places, he always used his real identity to show people, which made it even more impossible for him to take direct action.

Technically, this was Pat's first battle.

As a novice, he made the mistake that all novices make - he was too focused on attacking the enemy and forgot to protect himself.

"Open fire! Shoot at the robot's joints. This big guy is a sitting duck. There's nothing to be afraid of."

The battlefield commander of the Injustice Society did not panic just because the opponent took out a robot.

In today's world, aliens and superhumans are everywhere, and a small robot is nothing.

The soldiers of the Injustice Society heard the order from their superiors and quickly dispersed, using the buildings on this street as cover. Ordinary soldiers fired continuously with their rifles, forming a firepower network, but only to stop the enemy.

The real killer move is those soldiers carrying heavy firepower. The soldiers carrying heavy machine guns opened the bracket and stuck it into the ground, immediately forming a heavy machine gun position.

The specially trained machine gunner pulled the trigger, and a series of ion beams spurted out from the muzzle, hitting Pat's robot accurately and quickly.

This energy force based on particle beams is not only powerful and accurate, but also has little recoil.

The only drawback is that the energy consumption is too high, but the members of the Injustice Society built positions with buildings. After the machine gunners emptied a battery, ordinary rifles opened fire quickly to fill the firepower gap and buy time.

"Wait, this script is wrong!"

Pat was only happy for a few minutes before he was stunned by the ion beams flying from all directions.

Although the red ion beam did not break through the defense of the robot's shell, each attack left marks of burned steel on the shell.

The robot itself was shaken and flew around, swaying left and right, like a drunk man who couldn't control his body.

"I suggest you activate the flight function, climb quickly, and then attack from the air. The ion beam in the opponent's hand is far more powerful than kinetic weapons in a straight line distance, but the opponent's ability to react to the surrounding environment still depends on the quality of the user himself."

Gideon made a timely suggestion.

For him who came back from the future to the present, this human-controlled ion weapon is full of shortcomings, and he can easily come up with a series of solutions.

"Thank you!"

Pat was not a stubborn person. He took a glance at the data summarized by Gideon and knew that the suggestions given by artificial intelligence were very accurate.

"Help me calculate the remaining energy of the robot, how long it can last, and how many attacks it can launch from the air. I don't want to be shot down from the sky in the middle of my flight!"

He was prepared to act on Gideon's advice, but he also did not forget to provide relevant information to the artificial intelligence.

He built this robot himself, and no one knows the strengths and weaknesses of this big guy better than him.

"The energy used by the robot is provided by several different systems. The energy sources are all fake ones I made based on the props of the Justice Society members. They have never been tested in actual combat. I don't know what problems this big guy will have."

Although Pat said that his work had not been tested in actual combat, he activated the flight function without hesitation.

Gideon did not complain about his rash action, but just cooperated and activated the robot's weapon system.

The mechanical parts on the tall robot's face and shoulders began to operate. After continuous reorganization, a firing port was formed on the face and two cannons rose from the shoulders.

hum!
The energy system inside the robot was running, drawing energy from several different energy sources and mixing them together to form three golden energy beams that were emitted directly forward.

The robot's head spun, and the largest energy beam rotated 360 degrees, sweeping across the entire street. The blazing energy split the house in half, forcing the Injustice Society's soldiers to constantly use their right legs to find a more stable position to avoid attacks.

The two cannons on his shoulders adopted a burst-fire method, rhythmically emitting small beams of light to the surroundings, forcing the soldiers of the Injustice Society to be unable to even raise their heads.

After doing this, Gideon shut down the robot's weapon system, which was already glowing red and smoking.

Pat was absolutely right, the weapon system he created did have many shortcomings.

The biggest drawback is that the weapon's energy system cannot be adjusted. If the enemy cannot be quickly eliminated, the robot itself will be damaged by the weapon system.

Gideon only activated the energy beam for less than a minute, and the parts of the weapon system were almost scrapped.

"That's enough! My flight system is ready!"

Pat saw the weapons system failing, but he didn't care.

The robot's energy beam system was originally just for the sake of numbers. After all, before this, he had not participated in any conflict for almost ten years.

Click, click...

In the mechanical transformation business, the robot's hands and feet have jets opened, which are used to provide power for ascent.

A wing-like structure emerges from its back, and the jet nozzles on it can move freely. This is a device used to adjust the robot's flight direction.

"take off!"

Pat shouted, and the jet nozzles on the robot shot out long tail flames and thick smoke, which hit the ground and then spread outwards, rolling like waves.

The robot rose slowly at first, and Pat ordered Gideon to strictly control the power output.

This was no joke, if he wasn't careful, the energy system would explode. At that time, without the help of the soldiers of the Injustice Society, he would become a firework in the sky.

If something like that happened, he would surely be regarded as a disgrace in the history of superheroes and would forever be made a laughing stock by future generations.

Pat didn't want to see that happen. Although he was confident in his left bias, he still watched Gideon's constantly updated data with fear. His heart was in his throat and never fell back into his stomach. "This guy is trying to run!"

The commander of the Injustice Society looked at the slowly climbing robot and immediately made this judgment.

Although just a minute ago, his team was suppressed by the lasers fired by the robots and couldn't even raise their heads.

"There must be something wrong with this guy's weapon system. He can't fire lasers for a long time. If he chooses close combat, he will be surrounded by us, so he wants to escape from the sky."

This is what the commander thought and reported.

Although his analysis process was completely correct, the results he obtained were very different from reality.

"Release the drone immediately and intercept the target. The people above are counting on getting more information from the target, so we must not let him get away."

The commander ordered his subordinates to convert all ground positions into anti-aircraft positions and fire at the sky in an effort to shoot down the robots in the sky.

The soldiers of the Injustice Society immediately got busy, changing their positions from resisting lasers to anti-aircraft ones.

"Hey, what are they going to do?"

After Pat climbed the robot to 150 meters, he obtained a relatively stable energy output power. He was sure that the robot would not explode, so he became bolder.

The originally leisurely robot immediately turned from an old man into a Maserati. Not only did it whiz around in the air, it was also able to change direction freely, which was even more exaggerated than those birds of prey that were born with a pair of wings.

Of course, Pat alone is not enough. What is more important is that Gideon uses his computing power to continuously calculate various situations so that the robot can achieve this step.

Pat was excited and ready to fly higher and attack the enemies on the ground, or simply leave and find Martin.

The air supremacy is in my hands now, and I have the final say on what to do!
At this moment, he saw the soldiers on the ground begin to transform their positions and released a number of drones, rushing directly towards him.

"This is a great opportunity to get rid of these guys at once!"

Even if Pat wasn't well versed in tactics, he could tell the difference between being disciplined and being flustered.

The soldiers below are now switching hurriedly from ground-to-air defense, and the defense at this time can be said to have been reduced to the lowest level.

"Gideon, prepare to dive! After we take out these guys, we'll go find Martin and wipe out the Injustice Society's old rival once and for all!"

"Yes, the weapon system is being activated!"

Gideon accepted Pat's order and then asked, "Mr. Pat, do you need someone to take over the weapons system?"

"why?"

Pat didn't understand what Gideon meant at first, but he quickly realized it and refused: "Thank you for your kindness. But I'm already forty years old and I know what it means to take responsibility. These people are my enemies, so I should end their lives."

"This is not only a respect for the enemy, but also a responsibility to me!"

"I have received your order."

Gideon responded to Pat in a businesslike manner, without making any profound comments. Although he could think like this, he rarely showed this side to others.

Under Pat's instructions, Gideon began to increase the robot's energy output power. The tail flames from several jet nozzles increased sharply, and the exposed energy circuits on the robot also emitted a golden light.

Gideon adjusted the jet of the back propulsion system to dive mode, and the robot drew a golden upward concave curve in the sky, looking like a golden meteor.

"Isn't this guy trying to escape?"

The commander of the Injustice Society was not a fool. When he saw the golden meteor in the sky, he knew that his previous guess was totally wrong.

But he was too late to regret. He grabbed the assistant beside him and changed the order, saying, "All drones are switched to self-destruct mode. The goal is not to escape, but to launch a dive attack on us."

"Everyone, open fire. Pour all your firepower into the sky. I want to see the sky dyed red by the light of our weapons!"

The commander rushed to the nearest position, pushed aside the machine gunners, grabbed the ion beam machine gun, and fired wildly into the sky.

Although the soldiers' brains had not yet reacted, seeing their commander attacking the sky so frantically, they followed the army's habit, followed their commander's actions, and also fired into the sky.

The commander of the Injustice Society's team did exactly what he said. The ion beam rushed into the sky, directly dyeing the entire sky red.

But the Pat robot was not overwhelmed by the red beam.

The golden meteor is made more conspicuous!

Not only the few streets where Pat lived, but the entire community saw the red in the sky and the swooping robot.

These self-deceiving people in Blue Valley finally realized that uncontrollable things had happened in their quiet lives, most likely the news reported on TV - the battle between superheroes and super villains.

"The appropriate attack position has been reached!"

Gideon promptly reported the current altitude to Pat, while controlling the two small cannons on his shoulders to shoot down the drones that attempted to launch suicide attacks.

"Forgive me, old fellows!"

Pat was still at least 150 meters above the ground, but through the images transmitted by the machine, he could clearly see every moving soldier on the ground.

He whispered something to himself and pressed the launch button.

The robot's energy system operates at high speed, transferring energy to the launch port on its head.

Then, a golden beam of light fell from the sky, like a huge pillar smashing into the ground, and a mushroom cloud rose.

All the soldiers melted in the high-energy beam. The exoskeletons failed to protect their bodies and finally merged with the weapons in their hands, turning into a mass of charred unknown matter.

"Thirty-five percent of the energy available for maneuvering remains!"

Gideon controlled the robot to fly over the mushroom cloud of the explosion and reported the robot's condition to the frightened Pat.

"Let's go find Martin!"

Pat swallowed a mouthful of saliva from his dry and smoking mouth, and at the same time suppressed the fact that he had just killed dozens of people.

boom!
But before he could react, he felt dizzy, and then there was a violent collision, and there were cracking sounds in several parts of his body.

"Warning, encountering an unknown low temperature attack!"
