"We still need something."
In the New York Temple at 177A Bleecker Street in Manhattan, New York, a group of superheroes who are well-known to the outside world are gathering together to discuss an artificial intelligence.
Looking outside from where they were sitting, they could still see many pedestrians coming and going. It seemed safe at all. After all, others could see the huge round table from the window as soon as they turned their heads. Not only that, There are many superheroes sitting around the round table.
This place belongs to the three major temples under the jurisdiction of Kamal Taj.
Kama Taj maintains a great guardianship, protecting the earth from other dimensions, and also shielding the earth from the sight of other races in the universe. The center of the great guardianship is in the Himalayas, but in order to better maintain the great guardianship, there are three fulcrums on the earth.
Located in Hong Kong, New York and London respectively!
It is Strange who is now in charge of the New York Temple, in order to prevent their secret society from being discovered.
Members of the Illuminati chose the New York Temple as their base.
This place is isolated from space by magic. To put it simply, they can see the outside, but the outside cannot see the inside. Even if they blow up the New York Temple, they can't be found outside. And because of the barrier node, Strange can open a portal to any place in the world here, making traveling both convenient and safe!
So choose here.
Strange is the boss here and he has the last word.
As for the mages inside the sanctuary, they are all escapists and don't care what they are doing here. Naturally, there is no fear of leakage.
Strange looked at the model of the latest artificial intelligence in the Roundtable Center: "What are we missing?"
Banner pushed up his glasses and said with great embarrassment: "We don't know... This is the key to the matter. We have tried all methods, but the intelligence of this artificial intelligence still cannot meet our requirements."
At this time, Harrison Wells, the head of the Los Angeles Star Laboratory, spoke next to him.
"It's not that we can't meet our requirements, it's that we can't meet Mr. Tony Stark's requirements."
The tone was full of sarcasm and dissatisfaction.
"Hey! Man, we are the smartest people in the world. We come together and do the best we can!" Tony completely ignored Harrison Wells's dissatisfaction.
After all, Harrison Wells did have reason to be dissatisfied.
For the Ultron Project, these people almost gave up most of their own things and worked on this project without sleep or food. More importantly, only a few of them know about this project so far, so they must keep it secret from the outside world.
Harrison Wells doesn’t have nothing to do. He is in charge of the largest private laboratory in the United States. He also has his own research projects and technical support for The Flash. He is very busy!
But now, he had to give up those things and concentrate on the Ultron project.
This has already made his colleagues in the laboratory complain. He hasn't seen anyone for a long time. If he hadn't used video calls from time to time to communicate with his colleagues in the laboratory, they would have thought something had happened to him.
If only that was it.
Nothing.
Harrison Wells also has scientific pursuits, no matter how much there is to complain about in Project Ultron. But there is one thing that really appeals to Harrison Wells.
That is, it will be the pinnacle of artificial intelligence technology in the entire world!
If successful, then the entire world's artificial intelligence technology will have a qualitative leap!
This has a fatal attraction for all scientific workers!
So Harrison Wells bit the bullet and got involved.
But no matter how attractive it is, it can't stand up to Tony Stark's criticism!
This is already the fifth edition!
It can be said that it is excellent in all aspects.
But Tony doesn’t dislike it enough!
"But you ask us to complete an impossible task! We can't do God's work! You ask us to create a soul! A living, self-thinking soul! This is the scope of God's work."
"No! Dear Harrison, as scientists, we are God!"
Tony said something very arrogant.
But this is precisely the ultimate dream of all scientists.
Do scientists really just seek truth and knowledge?
No, the birth of scientists is precisely the product of mankind's pursuit of God's footsteps.
What scientists pursue is omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipotence!
It is with this delusion that mankind has come step by step to where it is today.
So although Tony's words were arrogant, there was nothing wrong with them. ,
Few real scientists are true believers. But then again, people often say that the end of science is theology, and there is nothing wrong with this, because science has no end. In this journey with no end in sight, everyone has to wonder, who is it? Having designed this 'road', I can't think of any other answer except God.
"But our technology simply cannot meet your requirements! Now this design is already our best!"
Harrison Wells didn't lie either.
Science has no limits.
But the technology is there!
Can't you just say something and let's implement it immediately?
That's not called science, and it's not even theology. Let's just change it to metaphysics!
The six people sitting here now are considered the top scientists on the planet. If they can't do it, then at least no one on the planet can do it.
This thing is not about practicing martial arts. There is a hermit master hiding in the deep mountains and old forests. Once he takes action, he will shake the world and get things done.
You have to eat your food step by step, but it turns out that Tony doesn't follow scientific logic at all.
They have to come up with something that is beyond their technical level.
This is not alien technology, at least there is a reference.
They don’t even have a reference!
how to do?
"I agree with Harrison's statement, Tony, you are completely making things difficult for us." Banner also said.
Even Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards, who had always supported Tony, no longer sided with Tony.
"That's right, Tony, we can gain experience first. Level up slowly."
"Reed...even you don't support me, you know the reason why I do this!" Tony felt very depressed.
Tony felt that he was really not being picky, let alone being mean.
His Ultron is not for his own selfish reasons, but for the sake of the entire world.
Tony has always had a sense of insecurity, especially after learning that the outside world was spying on the earth, he became even more unable to calm down. The earth may be invaded at any time. Because Tony has been to outer space and seen the Chitauri outside the wormhole. Knowing that the Chitauri who landed in New York were just a drop in the bucket. In this way, a group of them were in a hurry. They were not unable to defeat them but overwhelmed.
At that time, the portal was small and limited to New York.
They made do.
But when Thanos really comes, will Thanos only come from one place?
The earth has no cover. He can invade the earth from anywhere in the world. What is more likely is that he will launch a full-scale attack and send huge numbers of troops from all over the world. Until then, how the people of the earth can cope with it will still depend on a few of them. ?
What's that enough for?
He knew in his heart that, let alone Thanos, even if the Chitauri were coming, they couldn't defeat them. He has been thinking about a question, what should he do if he loses?
Because you will really lose. What I mean by losing does not mean that you cannot win, but that you fight on your own land. Even if you are really lucky and win. But the people on earth are gone. Is that still called winning?
And more than that, he wanted to change the world.
The more Tony becomes a superhero, the clearer he understands the limitations of superheroes.
They can't change the world!
So he wants to change the world.
how to change.
That's the original intention of Project Ultron!
Stark wants to build a robot that can learn on its own. In this way, there is no need to rely on superheroes to run around the world to maintain order. Instead, only Ultron is needed to control countless robot armies to fight against the invaders. At the same time, Ultron's computing power, which surpasses all human beings, can handle crises that arise anywhere in the world anytime and anywhere, so that there will be no situation where evil occurs, but superheroes cannot catch up!
And how good is an artificial intelligence?
It will always follow the rules without any deviation, will not cry, will not get tired, and will not slack off!
These benefits are things that superheroes like them can never do!
The current design is good, but not enough!
not enough!
What they want to do is artificial intelligence that can change the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is the god of the new world!
A new God who is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipotent on earth!
Reed supports Tony's idea.
Reed would rather be a scientist than a superhero.
Being a superhero has never been out of hobby, but out of responsibility. Science is his belief.
If the world is safe, he can naturally go back to the laboratory and do his own research with peace of mind.
But now even Reed doesn't support him, and Tony feels a little numb.
He looked at Arthur.
Arthur has been doing nothing... he doesn't understand anything.
Completely blind.
"Don't look at me! I've got all the supporting technologies for you from Atlantis. If you can't get it, you really can't get it."
The technological level of Atlantis is much higher than that on the surface, and Arthur also obtained many new technologies through his mother.
"Can't your mother use her strength any more?!"
Arthur understood what Tony meant, blaming himself for not trying his best.
but……
"Tony...you have to understand one thing. That is that my mother is the queen!" Arthur said helplessly.
"It's because your mother is the queen!" Tony didn't understand, maybe he didn't care, but the meaning was very obvious. Your mother is the queen, the co-owner of the Seven Kingdoms, and she is the largest under the sea. What kind of technology she wants to give, it's not even a minute. ?
Arthur felt that he could no longer communicate with him.
"She is the Queen of Atlantis, not the Queen of Earth! You can't let her harm the interests of Atlantis, right? Even if she is the Queen!"
"How can this be said to harm the interests of Atlantis? This is for the interests of the entire earth!" Tony felt that he was too narrow-minded.
Now Arthur couldn't communicate with him at all.
"Well, Strange, open a portal, this guy can't listen to anyone anymore."
Arthur didn't bother to talk to him.
It would be hurtful to say anything more. Things between humans and Atlanteans were the most difficult for him to deal with when he was caught in the middle. Of course he could explain it, but such an explanation would only make Tony above him think that he was biased towards Atlantis. It was okay to mutter some words in his heart, but once he said them, he couldn't take them back.
So Arthur simply didn't say anything.
Just left.
It will be fine once they calm down.
Sure enough, Arthur's departure made others very dissatisfied.
"Tony! You did it wrong!"
"I'm doing this for the benefit of all mankind, what's wrong with me?!" Tony was stunned, a bit like Nick Fury.
Start getting into trouble.
"Isn't Arthur for the benefit of mankind! How much technology has he brought back? Why do you say that to him!" Banner directly accused him.
Fortunately, Tony didn't completely become Nick Fury.
Know good or bad.
"I...I...I know there is something wrong with my words, but...Atlantis..."
"That belongs to someone else from Atlantis! Does it have anything to do with you? Does it have anything to do with us?" This time it was Harrison Wells who opened fire.
As a scientist, I am also very particular about patents.
Someone gave you Atlantis technology for free, but a ghost came to you as a result. Instead of being grateful, you blamed others for not being able to get more!
What, someone else is your father?
Even your father doesn't do things like this.
"I...I...I" Tony also woke up now, and he realized what he had just done.
"It's enough that someone else's queen is willing to hand over technology to us. There are so many countries that want Atlantis' technology but others don't care. It's better for you to want someone else's sensitive technology... You're doing something wrong. "
This time it was Reed.
Tony was a little overwhelmed.
"My fault, my fault, I was talking out of my mind."
Seeing Tony apologize, it was hard for the others to say anything.
Banner was a little worried and said to Tony: "Tony... there is something wrong with your current state. We all know what you are worried about, but you are too anxious and even a little obsessed!"
Tony was awake, but not fully sober.
Banner ignored Banner's worries, believing that he had everything under control. But what happened just now made him know how to speak.
"I know, I know, haven't I been confused by the massive amount of data? I know clearly what I am doing. Let's keep the topic on Ultron."
Tony then said: "Is there really no other way?"
As he spoke, he looked at Strange.
Strange has been silent and can only shrug at this moment: "I have provided all the help I can provide. No matter how much I do, I can't help it. I can't be allowed to read those strictly forbidden magic books. ?I can tell you that that is impossible, unless you intend for me to kill the Sorcerer Supreme."
At this moment, Strange is not the Strange who has become the Supreme Mage, and he does not have the courage to do anything nonsense.
But it can be seen from his words that this guy doesn't take rules... that seriously. It's entirely because there's a big boss pressing down on it.
Tony clicked his tongue. He was indeed starting to lose consciousness, but he was not going to challenge Ancient One.
"Is there really nothing we can do?"
Strange thought about it for a while, and finally thought of a way: "I have a way, but..."
"any solution?"
"It's very troublesome."
"Tell me something."
"You know about the Infinity Stones, right?"
"ah?"
Tony was a little surprised to know that the trouble on the earth was really because of those things.
"I know that the Mind Stone is on Earth. If we want to create an artificial intelligence with self-thinking, the best way is to use this stone. It should be able to give the creation a mind!"
Tony was silent after hearing this.
