Tony had mentioned this plan to Kai a long time ago. He believed that there were too few superheroes, and no matter how hard they tried, it would be a drop in the bucket for the entire world. Tony had seen the Chitauri outside the wormhole. Knowing that the Chitauri who landed in New York were just a drop in the bucket, even the Chitauri fleet outside the wormhole was just a small advance fleet of the Chitauri, and the Chitauri as a whole were nothing more than the Dark Titan. It's just part of Thanos' power!
But even so, they were still beaten to disgrace in New York, and even forced SHIELD to use nuclear bombs! In the end, if the King of Knights hadn't turned the tide, how things would have ended... is still unknown.
He knew very well that the Chitauri were not that strong, not that they couldn't be defeated but that they were too busy. Too much!
And they are fighting on home soil! If they really encounter that kind of large-scale invasion in the true sense, they will lose even if they win in the end! He fought on his own land and won, but the people on earth were gone. Is that called winning?
This is not unfounded!
That time when they played at home in New York, they were almost too busy. What about around the world?
Although the King of Knights finally took away the Cosmic Cube, preventing the Chitauri from reaching the Earth directly through teleportation, can they only enter a village through a road? There are grass, woods, farmland, mountains, hills, etc. around the village. What should they do if they come from there? When the time comes, the entire earth from Antarctica to the Arctic Ocean, from Ireland to Khitan, will be in flames of war. What will the superheroes of the earth do then?
The superheroes of the earth... no, even if you count all the mutants and some strange people, how many are there?
Although Tony thinks that if that time comes, they will be stingy with their lives and fight against the intruders! But so what, Thanos is slaughtering cities and countries in space, committing indiscriminate massacres everywhere, how many people can stop him?
Is it possible with just one Thanos?
What matters is the Dark Order under Thanos! It's the endless madness!
Even if they die together with the enemy, how many more people can they kill? Isn't it possible that on those planets visited by Thanos, no one is trying their best? But what's the result?
Moreover...it would be over once and for all if they die, but what about the people on Earth? What to do with the seven billion people on earth?
Thanos wants the lives of 3.5 billion of them!
What these people want is to survive, not the casualties of superheroes and enemies!
I don’t want casualty figures, I want Tashan!
Similarly, 3.5 billion lives do not care about your efforts, what I care about is your success.
There are Chitauri on alien planets, but who can guarantee that there are no Chitauri, Hantauri, and Chutari? What if they don't walk across the grassy hills and invade? What should they do if the nuclear bomb missed the largest transport ship and landed on the ground when it was discovered? What should I do if the goddess scatters flowers in a city and an arowana releases insects?
So Tony thought hard and came up with an idea.
I build countless Tin Men, and then build an operating system to discover where there is fighting, evaluate the opponent's combat effectiveness, how many Iron Men can be launched to win, and direct the Iron Man how to fight.
】
In fact, the 'Global Protection System' Veronica now manufactured by Tony is the product of this kind of thinking. Unfortunately, due to Kai's opposition, Tony had to give up the core of the idea.
Super artificial system!
The Veronica system is good, but not enough!
The same goes for the Iron Legion.
Tony needs a real intelligent system that is more powerful than Jarvis. At this stage, Jarvis's computing power is not enough. In order for the Iron Legion to have matching combat effectiveness, the system they carry must be more advanced and powerful!
Combat is a very complex behavior that requires you to react as quickly as possible anytime, anywhere, and even to achieve victory by surprise!
Jarvis can't do this.
Jarvis is not a real artificial intelligence.
Although he looks very smart, Tony knows very well that these are programs set by the system and do not originate from Jarvis's own 'thinking'!
He needs an operating system that can upgrade itself and 'think' on its own, to give it a 'brain' that matches the steel body of the Iron Legion!
As for why Kai’s support is necessary.
Firstly, Tony really hopes that Kai can support him mentally, but secondly, it is based on practical needs.
Real artificial intelligence cannot be created casually. Anyway, Tony himself was not sure about this. Maybe Tony can create it in the distant future, but the problem is that the earth may not be able to wait for that distant future.
The current situation is that Tony must produce results as soon as possible.
And Kai can help Tony.
It's not that Kai is very smart, but Kai can only turn on and off a computer. Wanting to rely on him to develop super artificial intelligence... is simply overthinking.
What Tony really cares about is the mind gem in Kai's hand!
In other words, it is the soul gem in the hand of the King of Knights!
When Tony saw Loki's psychic scepter (Loki almost controlled Tony at that time), he felt that an opportunity had come, because he discovered the consciousness inside, and he planned to transform and transform that consciousness through technological means. programming!
This is not a delusion, but a real possibility!
After all, if you really rely on traditional programming technology to create a super artificial intelligence that can truly think and learn, it will take a lot of time, at least ten years, or even decades!
Tony can't afford to wait, and neither can Earth. Who knows what the earth will be like in more than ten years?
So if Kai doesn't cooperate, Tony's plan will be useless!
So why do you still choose to go ahead now even though you know Kai won't agree?
The answer is, Tony found a way without Kai's help!
Tony didn't know the magic of the soul before, so he could only turn to the Mind Stone for help.
But it's different now.
Q: Who on Earth knows the most about consciousness and the soul?
Answer: The magicians of Kama Taj!
And Strange is the best mage of Kama Taj's generation! After only two years of practice, he has surpassed most of the Kama Taj Masters today!
You have to admire this talent.
This is why Mordo and Casillas pay so much attention to Strange and recognize that he can be called the next generation of Supreme Mage.
Do you really think Mordo and Casillas don’t have any arrogance?
Mo Du is Gu Yi's most valued disciple and the one who has been with her the longest.
Casillas, Strange's most promising successor to the Supreme Mage.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a proud man of heaven.
Although they all have shortcomings and are no longer the best candidates to take over, this does not mean that they can calmly accept any cat or dog to succeed the Supreme Mage.
Strange can be recognized by them, so he is naturally outstanding!
So Strange's joining made Tony's idea possible. More importantly, Strange not only practices magic, he also has a very mature scientific thinking! This is important! This means that he can restore obscure metaphysical knowledge through scientific thinking.
This is more important to Tony.
So after Strange approved Tony's plan, the establishment of the Illuminati became a matter of course.
All that's left is to recruit other members.
This is why Harrison, a guy who is obviously not a superhero, joined the Illuminati!
Super artificial intelligence needs the best people to help realize it!
