So even with Stark's genius and so many "weird people", Nick Fury is pessimistic about their ability to capture an AI with a complete military system and command power.

So he prepared the second level of insurance - internal response.

After many infiltrations by Tony and Natasha, they successfully identified a group of people with lofty ideals who resisted the rule of AI. Most of them were elites in the upper class and had an incomparable dislike for Ultron and his AI. manner.

No matter how unpopular they were with Nick Fury before, these 'elites' are now at least on a human footing.

Nick Fury had no reason to refuse their help, just as he had no reason to refuse their request.

Those Skrulls' infiltration plans seriously damaged the foundation of America's governance structure. Although AI has perfectly taken over all responsibilities, it ultimately needs human rule.

Although these 'social elites' are a group of people that Nick Fury looks down upon, no matter how bad they are, they are more than enough to cope with this period of time.

With all preparations and exchanges in place, Nick Fury is ready to attack Chicago at midnight today.

Retaking this city with iron shoulders will play a vital role in retaking major cities in the United States. They need the newly built factories in this city and the super weapon testing site buried under Chicago.

Of course, the premise is that these are not controlled by AI.

At midnight, the Lemuria Star, which turned on its stealth stance, quietly approached Chicago.

In fact, this city has changed from what it used to be a year ago. Half of the area has been rezoned and factories have been built, giving it a flavor of London in the early 20th century.

But now, things seem to be changing here.

Looking around, the most visible thing in Chicago is the endless steel jungle. Countless steel buildings stand intertwined with each other. The tallest weather control tower in the center of the city even soars into the sky, quite reminiscent of Sauron's doomsday black tower in The Lord of the Rings.

And I don’t know if it’s a bad idea, but there are always some weird mechanical octopus sentries floating in the sky above this city. They look like a complete replica of the Matrix.

Looking down from the perspective of the Lemuria Star, Chicago is divided into two worlds, inside and outside the city.

Outside the city is a vast expanse of silver, while within the city is a brightly lit steel city.

From the sky above the city where lightning is rising and puffing with hot steam, looking at the air twisted under the heat, one can seem to feel the 'warmth' inside.

Looking down at Hill, she was very fascinated. After all, she was born in Chicago.

Retaking her hometown is quite a memorable act, although Hill understands that the biggest role of her and Lemuria Star is just to serve as bait and vanguard.

"About to arrive over the city." The agent on the bridge reported in a low voice.

"Get ready to start particle dispersion." Hill said with a cold expression.

To atone for his sins, and because he had to, Stark handed over almost all of his advanced technology to support them in taking back the United States.

Naturally, this also includes the preparation technology of GN particles. This super genius has already invented the method of preparing the TD filter layer based on the samples left by Mu Feng, and he has even 'improved' it to a certain extent.

Under the cover of the dark night, the hidden figure was suspended beneath the Lemuria Star over Chicago, slowly scattering some undetectable purple-black particles.

These particles flowed silently with the air, and soon followed the airflow and swept through the entire city.

Then, the next moment——

All the light in the city went out.

Whether it was the weather control tower reaching into the sky or the energy factory covering the entire city, all light was extinguished.

And those mechanical octopus sentries floating over the city also fell down one after another as if the power was cut off.

"Very good!" Hill waved his fist heavily.

What Stark invented is indeed reliable!

This kind of specially 'improved' GN particles can not only interfere with electromagnetic signals, but can even paralyze almost most energy sources within the range.

Through the 'inertization' of specific elements within a certain range to ensure the creation of a 'forbidden zone', in other words, this is an oversized enhanced version of the EMP bomb.

But it is clean, pollution-free, effective and quiet!

After ensuring that the particle dispersion completely shielded the mechanical lifeforms in the entire Chicago area, dozens of agents wearing shadow steel suits flew down quietly from below the deck of the Lemuria Star.

Under the cover of night, they turned on the thermal optical stealth device, completely integrated with the surroundings, and landed in Chicago silently with the help of weak airflow control.

"Flying Squirrel 1 arrives at its destination and begins action."

These agents quickly dispersed like a torrent, and Hill, who was unable to grasp the situation in real time due to the shield, was nervously waiting for the results.

About three minutes later, Flying Squirrel 1, which led the team, once again sent the communication permission.

But this time, they brought 'good news'

"What?" Hill was so shocked that he couldn't believe his ears.

All mechanical life forms in Chicago had been evacuated an hour ago.

…

Nick Fury captured the entire City of Iron Shoulders without any blood.

However, he didn't see many happy expressions. The suspicious agent king only felt deeply wary of the abnormal behavior of the AIs.

He felt that these AIs might have something terrible buried under Chicago.

However, no matter how he checked, everything here seemed very... normal.

As three aerospace aircraft carriers descended over Chicago with the Stars and Stripes flying, the entire city erupted in cheers.

People happily cheered that they were liberated from the rule of AI and were happy that they were the masters of this country again.

They even held a day-long party to celebrate this historic moment.

Of course, the ones who are happier are undoubtedly those 'superiors' before Nick Fury entered the city.

Although they were useless in this operation to retake Chicago, since they had already agreed, Nick Fury could not go back on his word.

Everything started again in full swing, and Nick Fury successfully took over the entire Chicago. He even took over the legacy left by AI-the large number of automated factories.

Factories that produce supplies and food day and night are exactly what they need now.

Nick Fury decisively rebuilt half of the "useless" factories into production lines for the production of automated weapons and equipment, and began to prepare for recruitment of those Chicagoans.

The next step is to counterattack Washington, which cannot be done without enough troops.

Although the three aerospace carriers are sufficient in terms of mobility, they still need to produce more small and medium-sized air force equipment to ensure the control and suppression of other large cities.

However……

Nick Fury's recruitment plan has encountered huge obstacles.

The source of this obstruction is neither external nor internal. It is simply that no matter how great the conditions they offer, no one is willing to enlist in the army.

To be honest, with the current level of military technology in the United States, there is actually not that much need for recruiting people to go to the battlefield.

But their enemies are AI life forms, and Nick Fury naturally has a hard time trusting automated weapons.

He had to once again raise the conditions for joining the army. According to Rhodes, the conditions offered by Nick Fury ten years ago were at a level that could make the Pentagon explode in anger.

At this point, Nick Fury has recruited a very small number of retired soldiers.

But he didn't seem to notice...

The real trouble has just begun.

171. The unruly people below zero

“Chicago has a population of three million, and you’re telling me there’s a serious labor shortage?!”

Nick Fury slammed the table and looked at Hill blowing his beard and staring like he was about to shout "Fuck Fuck" the next moment.

"That's the fact. It's seriously not up to standard with the labor force we need." Hill responded with an ugly look on his face.

They took Chicago for its factories, its resources, its super weapons and—its people.

Chicago's population is not among the top in the United States, but three million people are enough to fulfill Nick Fury's vision of rebuilding the social management system and meeting the labor demand for some positions.

Under the premise that fully automated machinery cannot be trusted, human labor is indispensable.

But to be honest, he doesn't need much labor force at this stage. After careful calculation, only more than 20,000 people are enough.

This number is not much. Even before the seven days of AI rebellion, the number of civil servants in Chicago far exceeded this number.

However, Hill now told him that three million Chicagoans could not meet the demand for 20,000 labor positions...

"Give me a reason, Hill."

"None of them want to work," Hill sighed.

"AI did not take away the virtual reality brain computers they distributed to them for free before leaving, so most people spend most of their time in the virtual world every day."

Hilton paused and then added:

"This is especially true after we reduced the public relief materials distributed to everyone. The number of voluntary workers before we came has gradually decreased."

"So they stay in bed all day surfing the internet?"

Hill nodded.

"So even those who are willing to work are required to work an eight-hour day?"

Hill nodded.

"Even if we tell these idiots that it's minus 50 outside, they still want hours and entertainment from me?"

Hill nodded.

"A bunch of unruly people! Damn...wait a minute, who is maintaining law and order in Chicago now?"

Nick Fury opened his mouth as if to curse, but soon he said with a horrified look on his face.

"It's Stark and some of our agents...but to be honest, the effect is mediocre." Hill sighed.

"It is inevitable that a large number of idle people will lead to more crime problems. But the problem is that we do not have 100% AI monitoring capabilities for criminals."

Nick Fury's expression became even more embarrassing. He held his forehead with one hand and knocked on the table with the other hand.

To be honest, if their current situation is compared to history, it is actually very close to the period of "Black Friday" after World War I.

Because of the economic crisis, a large number of unemployed people have impacted society, causing serious public security problems.

The solution to this problem is also very simple-increase jobs, or use work-for-relief to solve the problem of redundant population.

But the crux of the problem appears here.

It’s not that Chicago doesn’t have redundant jobs. With the current extreme demand for manpower from the ‘Republican Army’, there are as many jobs as there are.

As for banknotes, that's a better solution. Nick Fury is now almost a member of the only remaining military organization in the United States. He can print money without the Fed!

But even so...the core of the problem is still here.

Before they arrived, Chicago under AI control implemented a 'utopian system'.

Yes, it’s not socialism, it’s not capitalism, it’s not feudalism, it’s not any doctrine or system that has been proven successful in the world.

It’s a ‘utopian system’ that only exists in fantasy

Even though people in Chicago must accept the fact that they are controlled by AI, under the control of AI, they have maximum control of materials and sufficient conditions to achieve their goals, and even those who want to eat and wait to die, whether they are virtual Still satisfied with reality.

In terms of public security, there is no possibility or basis for any crime in Chicago where AI fully controls surveillance. It can be said that except for the initiative changing from humans to AI, this is an almost perfect condition.

Afraid of comparison in everything.

Nick Fury is also trying his best to provide Chicagoans with good enough living conditions, but how can people who have enjoyed every second of Utopia be willing to return to reality?

Human nature is fragile and easily enslaved and manipulated. In fact, for the vast majority of people, what is unacceptable about enjoying a paradise controlled by AI?

"... Prepare to march to Washington as soon as possible."

Nick Fury was silent for a long time, and finally could only give this answer.

…

The golden-red steel suit streaked across the sky like a meteor, and the screen in front of Tony accurately located the target of crime in the city.

Arrive near your target, fire your long-range knockdown weapon, and land in a cool superhero pose.

This is how Iron Man's perfect daily security work is completed.

"Are you okay? Two little ladies."

Tony frivolously asked the two girls he had rescued. Under their feet was a man who was about to do something wrong to them.

Tony was ready for thanks and kisses, but all he got were looks of deep hatred from the two girls.

Tony was stunned. He watched the two girls running away from him like the plague, and stood there without speaking for a long time.

"Did I do something wrong? Do they know that I made those robots?"

At night, Tony was lying on Pepper's lap in the mansion, looking at his girlfriend's face and murmuring:
