1643, Essex
The redoubt walked out of the basement. Its appearance had greatly changed. At least, it now looked like a robot. It had a hydraulic transmission device, a high-power battery, and a hanging spring on its waist and hip.
The redoubt now looked like a robot from the world of Robopunk. It had a triangular head, a trapezoid upper body, and a pair of thick mechanical legs. Its feet were spread out like a frog, firmly grasping the ground. It also had four arms, and each arm had three joints. It was very flexible.
"Redoubt! Did you hear that? We're going to be rich!! "David looked at the redoubt and laughed.
"Being targeted by the Guardian Group might not be a good thing." The redoubt walked over and handed David a very detailed design. "This is the design for this job. Just give it to the company."
David took the design excitedly and said, "That's great, redoubt!
That's amazing! It's all thanks to you that we can live such a good life! You don't have to worry about the horse race. Just use your design to apply for a job at a machinery manufacturing company. The income is good and the source is legal! "
"An annual income of 20000 dollars is not bad in this era. But we need more money next. The parts I need to perfect my body are not available in the market. "The redoubt said very stiffly.
"No problem, redoubt. You are a member of our family. No matter what you want, we will do our best to help you!" Alan walked over and held the redoubt's cold mechanical arm. A pair of innocent eyes stared at the ferocious-looking robot.
As the electric motor hummed, the redoubt's head turned. The half metal face faced Alan and stretched out its other hand to gently stroke Alan's head. It said, "The Guardian Group and Tang Yu are both variables. But if I want to return to my previous self, I can only rely on the strength of the Guardian Group. But Tang Yu, he will kill me, and he will kill you. "
"How can that be? Isn't Tang Yu an energy tycoon who recently rose like a supernova? Why would he make things difficult for insignificant people like us? "David smiled disapprovingly.
"If you choose to accept me, I will bring you a different life, but it will also bring you relative danger. Let me emphasize again, Tang Yu will kill us." The emotionless electronic voice of the redoubt was like a heavy hammer pounding on the hearts of this family.
David and the rest immediately panicked. "Then … Then what should we do … A person like Tang Yu can easily crush us … This …"
"Hehehehe, everyone calm down. The Redoubt is a robot after all, and its language module is straightforward. How about I explain it to them?" A magnetic voice came from the basement, and a man wearing a gray cloak walked up from below.
Although the man was tall and sturdy, he was well-dressed and had the style of a European aristocrat. His black hair was neatly combed back, and the collar of his cloak was raised high. He looked dignified, and with his magnetic voice, he looked like a king. However, his face was a little pale, and there was a very conspicuous red diamond mark on his forehead!
"You … Who are you? Why are you in our house? "David was shocked when he saw the man.
The man smiled and said, "Don't panic, I'm here to help you. My name is Nathaniel Essex, the owner of the Essex Company in the United Kingdom. Of course, if you can call me Mr. Jinx, I will be very happy. I'm also attracted by your unique products, and I'm very fortunate to have met the revered existence of the Redoubt. "
"Mr. Jinx!! You … the redoubt? Him? "David was stunned for a moment, and he turned to ask the redoubt.
"He won't hurt us," the redoubt replied.
Mr. Jinx shook hands with David and said, "Let me explain the situation to you. Tang Yu is a criminal from the future. The sentinel robots he developed will destroy the entire world in the future, but although he was defeated in the future, he used a time machine to return to the 60s and wanted to make a comeback. The redoubt returned to the present to eliminate Tang Yu and the sentinel robots from the source. But in the process of teleportation, it was attacked by Tang Yu, and the redoubt was heavily damaged, leaving only half of its head. But its mission hasn't changed. It will always be to eliminate Tang Yu, eliminate the sentinel robots, and save the world. "
David's family nodded doubtfully.
"So, this is the reason why Tang Yu was able to rise in power in such a short time. He knows there is shale oil in the Permian Basin, and he also knows where there are opportunities in the United States in the 60s. If I'm not wrong, his accomplice is actively provoking an all-out war between the United States and the Soviet Union. Once he achieves his goal, the world will be finished. Interestingly, this accomplice of his was a former colleague of mine. He wanted to recruit me, but I rejected him. That's right, his name is Sebastian Shaw. "
"The redoubt is the only one who can stop Tang Yu, but not like this." Mr. Jingye pointed at the redoubt. "In this world, only Tang Yu's Guardian Group can repair the redoubt. So, in order to eliminate Tang Yu and the Guardian Group, we must first join them!"
David's face was pale. He quickly waved his hand. "I'm just an ordinary person. Saving the world is too far away from us … really … we …"
Mr. Jingye still had a charming smile on his face. He said in his magnetic voice, "No, from the moment you met the redoubt, you were no longer ordinary people."
"No … we …" David still wanted to refuse, but Alan pulled on his sleeve.
"Dad! Saving the world, defeating the evil demon, isn't this the dream in everyone's heart?! That was great! Let's defeat Tang Yu together and save the world!! "Alan jumped up.
"No, it's not as simple as you say it is … Tang Yu is a man with billions of US dollars in assets. He can easily summon 1000 men like Ian to beat us into a pulp with just a flick of his finger! And the redoubt said that he really wants to kill us! "David said anxiously. His wife grabbed his arm in fear.
"So you need my help. Even though my Essex company has just started and isn't as powerful as the Guardian Group, there are some things that only we can do. For example, changing your memories. " Essex took out two sparkling crystals and said, "I'll preserve your original memories and then implant a new set of memories in you. This new memory is flawless and can perfectly eliminate Tang Yu's suspicions. After he stops watching you, I will return your original memories to you. "
"Changing memories? That's impossible! I won't allow it! "David retorted.
"This is the only way to live. Nathaniel Essex won't hurt you, I promise. If he wants to, I will stop him! Trust me, "the redoubt said.
"I trust the redoubt! I trust it! Dad! Think about our lives before, and think about our lives now! Did the redoubt hurt us? "Alan said loudly.
"There's no time to lose. Since the Guardian Group has proposed a takeover, Tang Yu will be here soon. We don't have much time," Mr. Jingevil said.
David hesitated for a long time. He looked at Alan, then at the redoubt. Finally, he nodded lightly and followed Mr. Jingevil into the basement.
The redoubt didn't follow them down. Instead, it turned and walked towards the forest in the suburbs. At that moment, a sentence echoed in its computer program: Destroy the Guardian Group, complete the extraordinary mission, become — 'L'!!!
