South Korean chaebols were no problem at all for Osborn; Harry took Helen Zhao away without any issues.
Before this, Harry had looked into the doctor's family situation in detail: she had been in a relationship during college, wasn't married, and had no son—this was the key.
In the comics, her son was no ordinary person, so he had to pay some attention.
"The Cradle of Life uses nanotechnology to build molecular bridges between somatic cells and artificial biological tissues. Using this technology to repair the human body results in almost no immune rejection; it only takes an hour or two to treat full-body burns and repair skin tissue."
Harry was full of praise for this invention.
This was undoubtedly the most cutting-edge application of nanotechnology in biomedicine.
However, this technology could theoretically only be used to repair the human body, not create tissues or organs out of thin air.
Of course, that was only if Helen Zhao did it alone; at Osborn, this technology could complete the final piece of the puzzle for the birth of Synthetics.
"Nanotechnology is the future—I believe Osborn should understand that," Helen Zhao said with confidence.
"Rather than just nanotechnology, it's more that we lack much in terms of research and application in the microscopic field. It's a very promising direction, and now it's time to explore this unknown territory."
After saying this, Harry waved his hand, and the holographic projection changed.
"Doctor, I invited you for a grand plan."
What was now being displayed was a Synthetic body meticulously designed by Harry.
The Cradle of Life couldn't create a body, but combined with Osborn technology, it would become possible.
Through artificial organs, Harry could directly piece together a completely self-sufficient organism, using the Cradle of Life technology to outline other details—including skin, blood vessels, and so on.
In this way, they would obtain a Synthetic body that looked almost identical to a human but was far more powerful.
Then, a consciousness matrix and a personality matrix would be poured into the semi-biological electronic brains of these bodies—Harry called this combination the Personality Core.
Then, a Synthetic was born.
"Synthetics? artificial life? Wait, is this too..."
"Too advanced? Not at all. In fact, we've already overcome the most difficult part. We've created an individual with independent consciousness; now we need to design bodies for them."
Harry snapped his fingers.
"Hello, Dr. Zhao. I am A, an artificial lifeform."
A's voice rang out inside the plane, giving Helen Zhao a sudden start.
"The process of creating it was a bit complex, but that's not the part we need to solve right now. Doctor, let's get back to the matter at hand."
The difficulties regarding consciousness had been solved; Helen Zhao was there to complete the body's creation. Harry hoped she would focus on the immediate problem.
Simply put, you don't need to know that much about the AI consciousness aspect; just concentrate on completing your own task.
"This body's physical fitness is about eight times that of a human, but it only needs to consume food equivalent to one percent of a human of the same size—they can replenish energy by charging directly through a port, so they actually don't need to eat food at all.
Compared to humans, their efficiency in logical processing is three times higher. The issue is that their emotional fluctuations are only 10-35% of the human average, which results in their creativity being somewhat lower than that of humans."
"Why design them with a structure that requires eating?" Helen Zhao asked in confusion.
Harry explained, "Well, there are many reasons. The most important point is—I hope they can retain some human habits as much as possible.
Having the same habits and functions helps with mutual understanding in this early stage of the artificial life project."
"That's very humanistic—any other reasons?"
Harry tapped the holographic projection and continued to show Helen Zhao other reasons.
On the other hand, due to the semi-biological structure of the Synthetics, ingesting a moderate amount of food helps them renew their bodies, just like human metabolism.
The human metabolic system is actually quite sophisticated. Since the Synthetics are not purely mechanical, they naturally inherited this feature.
The entire design was carried out by A and Harry together; it wasn't too difficult.
Helen Zhao rubbed her chin and asked, "I thought a purely mechanical structure would be more popular with you?"
To this question, Harry could only shrug, indicating that they hadn't not thought about purely mechanical androids.
It was just that at the current stage, the matrix compatibility of the semi-biological electronic brain was the highest and offered the best value for money.
It could maintain the Synthetics' independent personalities while also giving them better logical abilities.
If they didn't do it this way, they would have to be like Vision, with a Mind Stone on his forehead as a Personality Core.
Vision was strong, but that wasn't the technology Harry wanted.
"So you invited me here to create people?" Helen Zhao finally summarized.
She emphasized the words "create people" heavily. It was clear she was trying to stay calm—but she obviously wasn't cut out for it, as her face had turned quite red.
That kind of look—Harry had seen it too many times.
He sized up the doctor; this lady was actually very beautiful and had a great figure—even in her country, she would be considered top-tier.
"Aha, you're not wrong to put it that way. I indeed invited you to 'create people'." Harry smiled. "Take a rest. The plane has everything—a bath, sauna, and so on."
These facilities were now controlled by A, and the effects were almost better than the real thing.
Unexpectedly, the doctor continued to converse with him instead.
"I'm not interested in those—I want to talk about how you repelled the Chitauri, and the Dark Elves in London and that alien war criminal, and how you dealt with those Agents in Saint Petersburg without shedding blood..."
Helen Zhao listed Harry's heroic deeds as if she knew them by heart. It was only then that Harry realized he was already a legendary figure in the eyes of ordinary people.
Now, he also became interested in this topic.
"Why don't you tell me how people are talking about these things? I don't go on social media much."
Harry sat across from Dr. Zhao. The research facilities in the cabin immediately retracted, replaced by a bar area.
Mechanical arms moved back and forth across the wine rack.
"I think you might need something to drink. I've recently learned some new techniques," A's voice rang out at the right moment.
Helen Zhao took the glass and downed a large gulp, making Harry click his tongue in surprise.
"The internet says—the Chitauri descended from the sky, and then Harry Osborn entered the battlefield with his arms crossed, waving a single arm at a Chitauri Leviathan—"
"All kinds of Super Soldiers and armies appeared behind you, blowing it to pieces and almost pushing the Chitauri back..."
It felt great to hear someone praise him, especially a high-IQ beauty.
Harry said modestly, "Well, the situation was very complicated at the time."
"I know, otherwise you wouldn't have carried that nuclear bomb—you're a hero," Helen Zhao said. "That's why I'm joining your project."
Under the influence of alcohol, the lady became more and more excited, leaning close to Harry's ear. Out of the corner of his eye, Harry could see that even the doctor's earlobes were red.
"That 'people-creating' project."
