Hearing Maeve's words, Lauren frowned.
He immediately said to 2B, "Scan her body immediately and see if there are any abnormalities."
"Yes!" Hearing Lauren's command, 2B immediately activated scanning mode.
In just a moment, she discovered a signal source in Maeve's subcutaneous tissue.
"Reporting, Boss, an electronic device has been installed under her skin. It looks like a miniature bug. The signal source has been cut off!"
"No wonder. It seems this woman wasn't completely stupid. She finally provided a clue before she died."
"Boss, have you found the mastermind?"
"Yes, it should be him."
"Who is it?"
"Alexander Pierce, the Minister of the World Security Council."
"Then I'll go kill him now!"
Hearing Lauren's words, 2B had a murderous look and was about to act immediately, but was stopped by Lauren.
"No need to rush. This guy Alexander is the leader of the Hydra organization. Killing him won't be easy, so I'll upgrade your body first to increase the success rate." Lauren thought for a moment and said with a serious expression.
The reason he wasn't in a hurry to kill Pierce was, firstly, he did plan to upgrade 2B to better deal with the Hydra organization, and secondly, because just as Maeve died, a system notification sounded in his mind again.
[Congratulations, Host, for participating in the event of tracking the real mastermind and successfully killing the event planner - Maeve. You are rewarded with 1 blueprint for the reconnaissance robot 9S.]
Anyone who has played Nier: Automata knows who 9S is. He is Miss 2B's partner, a reconnaissance robot.
His main responsibilities are enemy reconnaissance and hacking attacks. His close-combat ability is not strong, but he is very good at information warfare.
And Lauren is currently lacking an AI for information warfare, so he wants to create a super AI that can be scheduled in real-time.
This way, it can assist 2B in combat at any time.
As for the reconnaissance robot 9S, he is also in his creation plan.
But not now. After all, time and energy are limited, so he can take his time later.
And even if he were to create him, he would change 9S's gender to female.
After all, if a male robot were to accompany Miss 2B on missions every day, wouldn't that just be looking for trouble for himself?
Moreover, he not only plans to create 9S in the future, but he also plans to create more general-purpose combat robots later, preferably by going for a 'zerg rush' strategy.
This way, he can go further in the Marvel World and stand more firmly in his position!
With this thought, he immediately locked himself in the laboratory again.
Time flew by, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
During this half month, he devoted himself to research almost forgetting to eat and sleep.
After unremitting efforts, he finally completed the creation of the super AI - Alice.
And Alice's main program was installed in two different locations.
One is in the underground secret Base of the manor where he is located, and the other is on a satellite in low Earth orbit. One on the ground and one in the sky, complementing each other.
No matter where he is, he can call upon it at any time and have the super AI - Alice perform various data analyses for him.
Not only him, but 2B's mechanical brain can also connect to the super AI at any time.
Thus, in the future, she can not only rely on her own mechanical brain for tactical analysis but also have Alice enhance the analysis.
This will greatly enhance her computing power, naturally allowing her to unleash even stronger combat capabilities.
After all, the strength of an AI depends on its computing power!
However, due to the limitations of current technology, it is still impossible to manufacture ultra-high performance chips.
Therefore, the performance of 2B's mechanical brain will naturally be limited by this.
But because a super AI doesn't need to consider volume issues, performance can be stacked using a large number of chips.
Thus, its computing power is naturally incomparable to that of 2B's mechanical brain.
And during this half month, he not only created the super AI - Alice, but he also made simple upgrades to 2B.
He installed anti-gravity devices on Miss 2B's feet.
Thus, 2B can walk in the air briefly using the anti-gravity devices, somewhat like the Moonwalk in the One Piece World.
Besides making simple upgrades to 2B, the bat suit he had been thinking about was finally completed.
Not only the bat suit, but also the accompanying batmobile and batplane were created by him.
Moreover, his bat suit also has anti-gravity devices embedded, so it can fly for short periods.
In the laboratory, 2B looked at Lauren, who was wearing a black bat suit, with eyes full of shock.
"Boss, is this the bat suit you were talking about? It's so cool!"
The bat suit Lauren created is very different from Batman's in the DC World. Firstly, the bat suit in the DC World is half-masked, and its form is more like defensive armor, while Bruce mainly relies on his own combat abilities to defeat opponents.
However, the bat suit Lauren created covers the entire face, and its overall form is more mechanical. Its surface also has light yellow glowing strips embedded, looking full of technology and having a strong cyberpunk style.
Of course, these glowing strips can be adjusted freely. Once in a dark environment, they will automatically become hidden, making it difficult to see his whereabouts with the naked eye.
In addition, Lauren did indeed install a large amount of high-tech equipment on the suit, such as being connected to the AI - Alice, equipped with the same military goggles as Miss 2B, and miniature laser emitters.
There are also retractable steel claws, anti-gravity devices replacing the gliding cape, and even miniature bombs with various uses.
Combining all of the above, it is clear that Lauren's bat suit is more aggressive, like a mobile arsenal, somewhat similar to Tony Stark's Iron Man Suit.
Of course, this is just saying the style is similar. Their manufacturing process and overall structure are completely different, and the combat power they can unleash is also completely different.
As for which is stronger or weaker, it is currently unknown because they haven't been compared, but one thing is certain: the design of Lauren's bat suit is definitely much cooler than the first-generation Iron Man Suit, and even cooler than the bat suit in the DC World!
This is also why 2B was looking at Lauren with amazement at this moment.
"There's something even cooler! Alice, open the ceiling immediately. I want to test fly the anti-gravity batplane!"
Listening to 2B's praise, Lauren smiled with a hint of smugness.
Immediately, he ordered the AI - Alice to open the steel ceiling of the underground Base.
At the same time, a black bat-shaped flying machine descended from the sky and slowly landed in front of Lauren and 2B.
