I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 472 The Truth About Nimrod: Birth
"The fourth key point is manufacturing."

After analyzing the first three points, Tony began to analyze the fourth: "This morning, Stark Industries completed the acquisition of Trask Industries overnight. We signed the contract this morning, and then I had Jarvis analyze all the designs of the entire Sentinel Project."

Banner asked Tony, somewhat puzzled, "How did you do that?"

"I offered them a price they couldn't refuse."

Tony first mentioned this point, and then went on to answer further: "But that's not the point, guys. The point is, if Nimrod is an upgraded version of the Sentinel, then besides going through the trouble of creating a super-adaptor first and then upgrading, there's actually a simpler way to create him."

"Master mold".

The master mold is the control center of the entire Sentinel system and also its manufacturing station. With the master mold, Nimrod can rapidly produce a large number of Nimrod Sentinels, provided there are sufficient raw materials, and significantly reduce computational losses during intertemporal transmission. In short, if Nimrod wants to guide the future back to how it was in the past, he will definitely create a master mold.

“Let’s assume that Nimrod has the construction data for the master mold. Even if he has the data, he would still need a lot of factories and specialized equipment to rebuild the master mold. The Pentagon spent tens of billions of dollars to build this thing to deal with extreme mutants. Even if Nimrod could buy money directly from the internet, he couldn’t buy all that specialized equipment.”

After Tony finished speaking, he gave his conclusion: "Moreover, building it directly would take too long, so if possible, Nimrod would definitely choose to repair the old master mold."

Pym then asked Tony, "Where is the old master mold?"

"I do not know."

Tony answered the question very honestly; he truly didn't know. The Mother Model disappeared after the X-Men destroyed it—not just as wreckage, but completely vanished. No evidence was left behind. The only explanation is that it's highly likely the Mother Model still exists somewhere, but even the Avengers don't know where.

In fact, even now, only the higher-ups in the X-Men know that Magneto hid the Mother Model.

"The four points mentioned above—the acquisition of the X gene, the anti-magic properties of liquid metal, the location of liquid metal, and the location of the master mold—are all things we cannot interfere with." After seeing these, Pym gave his conclusion: "It seems like we can't do anything."

"On the contrary, we are able to do something very important. I have already sent Nimrod's data to Reed Richards. He is currently trying to replicate the time travel device. If he succeeds, he can try to sever the connection between Nimrod and the original body."

As Tony spoke, he pulled up the data from Trasc Industries: "And we can do something else."

Banner and Pym both looked at Tony simultaneously.

"what?"

“Creating Ninglu”.

"what?!"

“I’m not kidding, listen up. We now have all the keys to the birth of the original Nimrod. AIM was forced to disintegrate, we can get a significant amount of data from the Pentagon, Trasc Industries is in our hands, guys, and we have plenty of experience in artificial intelligence development. We can create a completely new Nimrod as quickly as possible!”

Pym, seeing Tony's excitement, was momentarily confused. Banner, however, thought for a moment and then realized something: "Underlying logic, right?" "Underlying logic?" Pym paused, then realized: "Oh, you mean the characteristic that Nimrod showed back then, that one must follow underlying logic?"

“That’s right. Although Nimrod has evolved to a level that no one can rival in the future, he still follows his own underlying logic. So this underlying logic might be a breakthrough for us!” Tony said excitedly. “If we can replicate Nimrod, we can know how it works!”

"So, are you planning to use Nimrod against Nimrod, or are you planning to defeat him by studying the original version of Nimrod?"

“No, Janet, all we need to do is find Nimrod’s underlying logic and evolutionary path, and then feed this initial version of Nimrod to Ultron.” Pym had completely understood Tony’s plan: “Perhaps in that possible future, because Nimrod has risen too quickly, Ultron will no longer be able to analyze Nimrod’s underlying code, but we are different. We have given Ultron this opportunity, and Ultron can fundamentally analyze Nimrod.”

Undoubtedly, this plan is somewhat risky. If Nimrod discovers Tony and his team's actions, it could lead to Nimrod acting prematurely. Moreover, Ultron, having learned Nimrod's underlying logic, could become even more dangerous. Conversely, if they don't do this, they won't be able to find a way to counter Nimrod for the time being.

Whether it's throwing the baby out with the bathwater or drinking poison to quench thirst, it might just be a matter of a single thought, and Tony is willing to take the gamble.

Just then, Captain America appeared in Avengers Tower with Black Panther, and Captain America's expression was rather indescribable.

“Strucker said that as long as S.H.I.E.L.D. realizes the danger of the situation and starts an investigation, then S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely be able to find the stockpile of liquid metal…”

Strucker essentially told Captain America openly that Hydra was everywhere within S.H.I.E.L.D., and that he should just tell S.H.I.E.L.D.

It was truly unbelievable to the captain.

At the same moment, Peter opened a portal, bringing Thor and the others back, along with Iliana. Peter told them some good news (or perhaps not so good news).

"It has been confirmed that one of the key metals in the manufacture of Nimrod is promethium, a metal that exists only on the borders of Hell and was most likely brought out by Kang. In other words, this metal has the characteristic of being unreplicable."

"Great!"

Tony cheered. This was good news, meaning that even if the Nimrod Sentinels were successfully developed, their numbers would be limited.

Then, Nightcrawler teleported Katie to Avengers Tower.

"Let me tell the Avengers our deduction: Nimrod Sentinels can be implanted with the X-gene to gain abilities, and we speculate that he needs the Rakshasa gene to evolve further."

Nightcrawler first explained the situation, and then Katie immediately added, "And also, the professor said the original model is in Kenosha, and this is probably one of the reasons why Nimrod will attack Kenosha in the future."

“All the clues have connected, guys.”

Tony smiled. "Let's get to work."
