Natasha first checked the internal parts of these dolls, hoping to find serial numbers or similar clues that could be traced.
These doll robots operate on batteries and can attack the nearest person like landmines, and after the attack, there's even a simple performance.
That's their programming.
These doll robots are disposable, so they should be mass-produced, which means a large number of identical parts are needed, like capacitors or diodes, all of which should have manufacturer's numbers.
She wanted to find this.
Although it wasn't her first mission in Japan, she didn't know Japan's national conditions were entirely different from other places.
During World War II, the industrial type of major Western countries was centralized and intensive, such as Germany's Ruhr Industrial Area, the United Kingdom's Liverpool, and the United States' Pittsburgh.
In these places, large factories were densely distributed, personnel specialization was strong, assembly line operations, high production capacity, standard specifications, the only drawback was the fear of bombing.
In the later stages of World War II, Germany's Ruhr District was bombed to pieces by the Allies, and the German Army's industrial capacity dropped by 40%.
In Japan, large military products were produced by a few factories, like warships.
But other small parts, like lights used on aircraft carriers and tracks used on tanks, were subcontracted to countless family-style workshops.
This is called 'buntan bukin' in Japan, a division of labor method with Japanese family culture characteristics.
A decentralized industrial system is more resistant to air raids or other destructive activities, but the downside is that quality control is difficult to ensure, even with the same parts, every family and every one has slight differences.
Now these electronic parts in Natasha's hand clearly seem to come from an unknown small workshop, and since they are made in Japan, there are no valuable markings on them.
"Tch...."
A meaningless sound came from the girl's mouth, she threw the parts into the snow and ruffled her hair.
Robots that appear and disappear without a trace, with no traceable clues, left her a bit at a loss.
"Why are you standing in the snow daydreaming?"
At this moment, a large hand landed on her head, and Natasha's previously icy expression instantly thawed like spring came after winter, she turned around and hugged the newcomer's arm.
"Boss, why are you here?"
Unlike how other spiders call Su Ming.
Natasha and the few like Dotti have their special names, Natasha insists on calling Boss Deathstroke just like Gin.
Actually, Gin just got used to it, having followed him for so many years, changing her way of addressing him was impossible.
Su Ming looked at the Japanese dolls scattered all over the ground, roughly understanding what had happened, and judging by appearances, Wolverine might have suffered a loss with these robots.
Although these things were not quite like those in Su Ming's memory, their style suggests they should be the prototype of the future 'Shiva' robots.
And Shiva robots, simply put, are Japan's unique, monkey version of Sentinel robots.
Actually, that's not accurate because it was born earlier than the US version, but it's weaker. Who cares who wore it first? The weak one is the embarrassed one.
However, it wasn't as strong as the US version of Sentinel, its main feature being cheap, dense deployments every time, and equipped with various biological weapons or toxins, extremely unpleasant.
They can be turrets, landmines, and in the future, there are even spider-leg and flying types, just like Lego toys, freely combinable.
Who manufactured them, even Su Ming doesn't know, but any force that could be related to Japan basically had them in hand.
In the future, an ordinary person with money could buy one on the black market.
Yes, these mobile toys, originally designed just to serve tea in hot spring inns, evolved to perform music, and later, to kill humans.
Now it seems they are in the initial stage, only equipped with hive-type poison needle launchers, without the most Japanese feature, the 'kamikaze' device.
But seeing the blood loss on the ground, has Logan's self-healing ability been suppressed? Does this mean that these Chiben are coated with anti self-healing poison?
Uh... got it.
Su Ming let Strangulation stretch out a tentacle from his heel, picking up a few Chiben from the ground and keeping them.
The anti self-healing poison, along with a sample of Wolverine's blood, was obtained simultaneously.
The purpose of finding Wolverine had been accomplished, even smoother than expected.
Natasha was safe and sound, with some interesting things in her hand, too.
Did they really think he was so eager to help Wolverine? As Wade's cheap cousin, how could he help this guy? Heh heh....
While Strangulation handled the task, Su Ming talked to Natasha as if nothing happened: "Are you crazy? Coming to Japan alone? Don't you know that the defeated countries of World War II are still the most chaotic places now?"
"I know." Natasha sighed, "That's why I wanted to find Logan, to take him to the United States... Although he didn't respond, I feel his chance to leave here is not great."
"Oh? Looks like he found a Japanese woman."
Su Ming pretended to be confused while knowing the truth. The reason they could rush here, wasn't it because the Yamamoto Family was loudly publicizing having a foreigner marrying into the family?
