Ironclad: How can hand-crafted knight belts not be considered genius?

"Secretary".

As Jiang Ning pressed the blue key in his hand, a cold electronic registration voice came from the key.

The clear blue data stream surged wildly along the key's pattern, flowing out like a rushing river of stars, instantly covering the entire experimental table.

The previously still and shimmering white body of Iz suddenly trembled, and the hollowed-out mechanical patterns lit up with azure light trails one after another, layer upon layer, outlining the smooth and slender outline of the mechanical body.

hum-

The low, mechanical start-up sound echoed gently in the sealed laboratory. There was no explosive, violent disturbance, only an extremely precise, orderly, and gentle wave of computing power suddenly unfolding.

Xiao Er, who had been hopping around, stopped abruptly. The aircraft hovering in the air stiffened slightly, and the vivid "(ºДº*)" on the screen revealed her shock.

Why is my birth process as the "older sister" so cool?

Were we really created by the same person? Why is there such a big difference in our treatment?

Looking into my eyes! o_O?

As the data stream gradually contracted, it eventually transformed into specks of light and gradually disappeared into the Humagear's body.

An ethereal blue light enveloped the original body, and Iz's form gradually became more dynamic, with skin that looked indistinguishable from a human covering the original mechanical body.

In the blink of an eye, apart from the Humagear "earphones" that were obviously different, the secretary-type Humagear, Izu, whose appearance was basically no different from that of a human female, was officially born!

Leira picked up the prepared turquoise and silver-white Humagear uniform and dressed Iz on the stage.

Looking at the adorable girl lying on the lab table with her eyes closed, Leira felt deeply shocked.

Jiang Ning conjured up a kind of intelligent machine that had never been seen before and had never appeared in any available literature.

Even more incredible is that, despite being an AI, its physical characteristics are almost indistinguishable from those of a normal human!

Even blood vessels, facial expressions, and even the smallest details of the body...

Recalling what had just happened, Leila blushed.

"I'm...I'm sorry, I acted impulsively again...I didn't ask clearly beforehand..."

Jiang Ning rubbed his lower back and waved his hand dismissively.

"Fine, considering you've cleaned my lab for half a year... I won't hold it against you."

After waiting for a while, Izzy on the experimental table showed no signs of waking up.

Jiang Ning frowned and stepped forward to examine the "newborn" Izzy more closely.

"All the body's data are fine, but it lacks a computing core to support its operation..."

Sigh...it seems I still need to build "Zea" as soon as possible so Izu can connect to the internet.

After all, the "Humagears" that appear later in the 01 storyline are all under the control of the "Zea".

After hesitating for a moment, Leira finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"Jiangning? May I ask you a question?"

After confirming that Iz's physical data was correct, Jiang Ning raised his hand and put Iz's body into the "materialless hand box".

"Why are you being so polite with me? Just ask what you want to ask. I'm very busy."

"?"

(In the challenge of resisting the urge to belittle Jiang Ning, Miss Leila lasted three seconds. You should try it too!)

A moment later, Jiang Ning sat obediently at the lab table, his hands clasped together, his eyes clear.

"Ask questions, and answer them without reservation."

Why did you suddenly bring up the satellite "Zea" project to Ms. Black Tower?

And that secretary android, what was it again? Why did you get that?

Laila poured out all the doubts that had been lingering in her mind during this time.

Jiang Ning pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then slowly spoke.

I cannot reveal the purpose of building "Zea" to you for the time being. The cause and effect involved are too great for you to handle.

As for Iz... do you want to hear the truth?

Leira rolled her eyes at Jiang Ning, giving him a "figure it out yourself" look.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Ning smiled slightly and said:

"I plan to start a company."

Laira had lost count of how many times she had been shocked by Jiang Ning's outrageous ideas, but this was definitely the most absurd one yet.

"Start a company?"

you???

Are you good at business or just accounting?! What kind of door company do you own?!

Jiang Ning scratched his cheek sheepishly, after all, he really didn't have any experience in this area.

"Hmm... with Iz around, and the super-intelligent satellite 'Zea,' if I started a company, I might have a competitive advantage!"

Let's be frank!

"That hothead U can become the president! Jiang Ning has divine talent, why can't he!"

Putting aside the system tasks, Jiang Ning just had to experience the taste of being a shrimp dumpling (president)!

"Zeya" was the first step for him to become a shrimp dumpling in Jiangning!

Leila was so angry at Jiang Ning's absurd idea that she almost laughed.

Who on the entire space station doesn't know that Jiang Ning is a pure scientific research fanatic?

He doesn't touch any of the three things: accounting, management, or networking and negotiation. His mind is filled with nothing but experiments, data, structural restructuring, and disrupting systems.

And now he's telling her—he wants to start a company and become its president?

"Others rely on accumulation, resources, and connections to start a business."

Leira sighed, her eyes completely numb. "You're building your business based on wishful thinking, genius, and... the AI ​​secretary that's about to launch?"

Jiang Ning nodded confidently:

"yes."

"..."

Laira was speechless for a moment, unable to find a single word to refute him.

It seems... that actually makes a lot of sense.

The entire research staff at the Black Tower Space Station are working feverishly on projects, all drawn by the new system in Jiangning.

He possesses unique, space-level intelligent mechanical life technology, an advanced computing framework, and the semi-finished Zeya satellite project.

Others start their businesses from scratch.

His entrepreneurial journey began with a technological monopoly.

Seeing her silence, Jiang Ning took the opportunity to spread his hands and slowly revealed his true intentions:

"I am preparing to establish an interstellar intelligent technology company."

Its main businesses include the research and development of humanoid intelligent robots, the leasing of satellite computing power across all domains, and the outsourcing of deep space scientific research.

"The calculations, spacetime fragment analysis, and ultra-long-cycle data simulations that ordinary researchers can't handle are all handed over to Zeya."

"Precision operations that are impossible for humans, deep space exploration, and maintenance in high-risk areas are all handled by Humagear."

Laira's pupils dilated little by little as she listened.

She finally understood.

Jiang Ning's decision wasn't just a passing fancy.

He genuinely intended to forcibly relocate his research on the Humagear intelligent industry into the universe.

"Do you...do you know what this means?"

Laira's voice trembled slightly.

"You are creating a completely new interstellar industry."

No power in the entire galaxy has ever been able to mass-produce humanoid intelligent machines capable of independent learning and thought.

Interstellar Peace Corporation monopolizes trade, resources, and transportation.

Universal Entertainment monopolizes media, public opinion, and interstellar entertainment.

"Geniuses" like Heta monopolize high-end theoretical research.

Once Jiangning is established, it will monopolize interstellar artificial intelligence and humanoid intelligent life.

So that's why.

Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow and smiled, his eyes revealing an open and unrestrained ambition.

"I must create Zea."

"Xiao Er's computing power is limited. It's okay for fighting, but it's unreliable for handling complex problems."

The only thing that truly supports the entire company system, carries countless Humagear cloud consciousnesses, and supports massive cross-galaxy computations is "Zea."

"Izzy was my first chief secretary and chief coordinator."

The moment Zeya takes off, my company will be fully formed.
