Chapter 261 Tony: Ultron is the future of mankind!
Tony was about to show everyone his work, but before he could do anything, he saw Steve frowning and taking a big step forward, holding down his arm.
"Wait, Tony!"
Steve Rogers had a bad feeling. He felt that Tony's current condition was not right, and it could even be said that he had reached a dead end.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but Tony is so smart, if something really went wrong, the impact would be huge.
Tony now is like a mad scientist.
"Tony, I don't think this is a good idea."
Steve decided to talk him out of it.
“Using AI to monitor the world, feeding the underlying code of Project Insight into AI, this will lead to very scary consequences. How can you ensure that the machine will not fail?”
"Fault?"
Tony found it funny. He looked at Steve and asked dissatisfiedly, "Do you think there will be problems with my invention?"
What he hated most was when someone questioned his intelligence, and it was clear that Steve had hit Tony on the sore spot.
Tony said bluntly: "I think machines are more reliable than people!"
"Because they can run forever according to the program and nothing will change, but people do." He looked at Steve.
"Just like the former SHIELD, none of us can guarantee that the current . won't have any changes in the years to come. People always follow their own interests."
He said it bluntly.
It can be said that Tony's words were completely an insult to Norman.
But Norman had no intention of refutation. As a businessman, he knew the evil nature of human beings better than anyone else.
Just like his former friend, didn't he still want to kill him in order to get the Osborne Group?
From this perspective, it is indeed more reliable to leave it to the machine.
But the problem is that Tony's approach is wrong.
No one wants to live under surveillance.
"You use algorithmic programs to control threatening people, Tony, what's the difference between you and Hydra?"
Steve asked heartbrokenly.
After experiencing the SHIELD incident, Steve became very sensitive to such things.
Not only him, the others obviously did not agree with Tony's approach. Questioning looks fell on Tony, making him feel even more lonely.
Tony was very sad and angry. He originally thought that there would always be someone who would agree with his approach, because only in this way could he truly and completely protect the earth.
But reality is not like that.
But he would never give in!
"Let me tell you the difference!"
He shook off Steve's arm, pointed at the wall covered with battle armor behind him, and said forcefully, "Hydra is here to eliminate targets that threaten them, and I am here to eliminate targets that threaten the Earth!"
The same thing, used differently, will achieve completely opposite effects.
Just like a gun, you can use it to murder someone, or you can use it to protect someone.
Tony thinks there is nothing wrong with his ideas and practices. Since you can't protect the earth, let him do it!
What's wrong with this?
But most people don't agree.
Except for Steve and Norman, no one spoke.
Bant looked around and saw that most of the people were lowering their heads with embarrassed looks on their faces. Natasha was half biting her lip, glancing away, and rubbing her wrinkled brows with two fingers.
"Tony, if your idea is implemented, it may indeed greatly reduce crime, but what about people's freedom?"
Steve asked.
"If you do this, you will only create a tyranny under high pressure!"
"What's wrong?"
Tony asked rhetorically.
"I saved them, I gave them a safe environment, I can stop all the evil before it happens, they should thank me!"
"We should protect people, but not in this way!"
Obviously, neither of them could convince the other.
But Tony killed the game.
"Didn't you also use algorithms when dealing with Hydra? What's there to say?"
After some debate, they turned their attention to Bant... and Norman Osborn beside him.
The most crucial thing is whether Norman supports it.
Now Norman Osborn is the director of . If Tony wants to launch the Ultron Project, which concerns the safety of the whole world, he cannot bypass him.
Even Norman does not have the power to decide. After all the twists and turns, it is likely that the Security Council will have to agree.
Of course, given Tony's personality, if the Security Council disagreed, he would do it alone.
Damn Security Council. If he's so scared, he might as well open a barber shop.
Norman felt a bit of a headache.
It was hard to explain, but from his perspective as a scientist, he completely understood why Tony trusted his invention so much.
Compared to people, unchanging procedures are indeed more trustworthy.
He couldn't make up his mind, so he looked at Bant.
"Xiaoban, what do you think?"
Whenever you are in doubt, ask Bant. This is the objective law that Norman has summarized over time. It is the unchanging truth of the universe and the eternal law of physics.
In his opinion, Bant might have some ideas and plans of his own, but his final goal is to protect the Earth.
that's enough.
And his vision is indeed higher.
As Norman spoke, all eyes fell on Bant again.
To them, Bant is indeed a backbone. If he also agrees with Tony, then others might really agree.
Bant naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
After all, if there was no Ultron, how would he watch Tony have fun?
How could the footage of that arrogant boy being humiliated be broadcasted to the whole world?
But he couldn't agree to this matter.
It is inevitable that Ultron has problems. If he supports Tony, then if something goes wrong, wouldn't he also be responsible?
Let him and Tony take the blame together?
Don't even think about it!
So he spoke ambiguously.
"In the archives of the Tiangong Society, it is indeed recorded that the Kree civilization, one of the three most powerful civilizations in the universe, adopted a similar approach."
After hearing this, Tony's eyes lit up instantly.
Listen!
This is what a smart person says!
Tony was very happy since there was a similar civilization in the universe, and it was not difficult to infer from Bant's words that the other party was very powerful.
This shows that there is no problem with the route I am taking.
Ultron is the future of mankind!
"Tell me more specifically."
He became interested, sat down on the armrest of the sofa, picked up the empty wine glass and filled it up.
"The Kree Empire."
Bant also slowly introduced himself.
Steve and other people who participated in the Infinity War immediately had an impression: "The country of Ronan the Accuser?"
Ben Te nodded.
"Although the Kree Empire has a nominal king and ruler, it is actually the artificial intelligence they created, the Supreme Intelligence, that truly determines the direction of development of this civilization."
"It embodies the highest wisdom of the Kree people, including all science, philosophy, military, thought, etc. It once ruled the Kree Empire." "Did you see it?"
Tony became even more proud, pointing a finger at Steve's nose and pointing his nostril towards him.
"One of the most advanced civilizations in the universe has exactly the same idea as me. They even went one step further and handed over everything on the planet to artificial intelligence!"
"I've said it before, Ultron is the future, and now Bant also supports me—"
"stop!"
Bant interrupted Stark's passionate speech by placing one hand on the center of his other palm.
"I didn't say I support you. I just said that there are indeed similar models of civilization development in the universe. The question is whether Ultron has the same function as the Supreme Intelligence and can lead a civilization forward for tens of thousands of years."
"Who knows whether Ultron will bring about a new era or an Omnic Crisis?"
Bant was very rude.
To be honest, even the highest wisdom has problems.
The Cree people's success was due to their supreme wisdom, and their failure was also due to their supreme wisdom.
Civilization has developed for tens of thousands of years, and the supreme wisdom has long lost the foresight and wisdom to transcend the times.
Regardless of all these, no matter what, we still have to see what Tony's Ultron is like.
Bant certainly knows that Ultron is shit, but he won't be so kind as to remind Tony.
When Tony heard this, he immediately became restless and asked, "Are you questioning me?"
If he was just a little angry when Steve questioned him before, Tony absolutely couldn't stand being questioned by Bant now.
What about Steve, an old antique whose vision is limited to more than 70 years ago? What does he know about science?
Norman Osborn is similar. In his eyes, he is just an insignificant scientific researcher, not to mention the others.
When questioned by these people, Tony could comfort himself that it was their stupid brains that did not understand science and artificial intelligence technology.
But Tony was very annoyed when he was questioned by Bant.
Because in his opinion, Bant's intelligence is comparable to his, and he has created Eunice, an artificial intelligence that is not inferior to Jarvis.
It can be said that in this field, Bant is the only person Tony recognizes.
Now that Bant is questioning him, he seems to be more willing to prove himself!
If you question me, it means you can't do it. Now I have done it, so I win!
With this thought in mind, Tony walked directly to the wall behind him. The wall covered with armor opened, revealing a silver-white laboratory behind it.
"Since you doubt me, I will let you see what my Ultron is like!"
"Jarvis!"
"Yes, sir." Jarvis still had that calm tone.
"What, Tony, wait..." Hearing what Tony said, Steve obviously realized what he was going to do and hurriedly tried to stop him.
But Tony had given up on arguing any further.
Do you think I came here to discuss this with you?
wrong!
This is a notification!
"Start Ultron now!"
"Yes, sir."
Jarvis naturally did whatever Tony said.
The Ultron program was immediately activated, and in front of everyone's eyes, a ball of light that looked like a thought emerged, and the constantly fluctuating thoughts of artificial intelligence seemed to flicker like audio.
All of a sudden, everyone fell silent, waiting for the result.
Then, the third voice slowly sounded.
"Tony Stark... my creator."
It's Ultron.
Tony smiled triumphantly, his mustache dancing.
"Come on, introduce yourself to them." Tony stepped aside to get out of the way.
"Everyone, I am Ultron." The concrete thought emitted electronic signals and made sounds with the help of speakers.
"It's called the Ultron Global Defense System. It's a program invented by Mr. Tony Stark to maintain peace and stability on Earth."
He was communicating with Bant and others just like a real person.
Perhaps because he has been in the local area network, Ultron has not yet realized the filthiness of humans, so his tone of voice is closer to Jarvis.
It is indeed learning the programming of Jarvis.
"What are you going to do?"
Bant asked immediately.
Ultron replied: "Based on the underlying program left to me by my creator, Mr. Stark, I will resolutely fight against those factors that threaten peace, eliminate them, and create a peaceful world."
Tony was very satisfied.
However, if you want Bant and others to truly witness Ultron's abilities, you need to completely open up the global network to allow it to show its prowess.
Tony waited until today just for now!
"Look!"
"Jarvis, connect Ultron to the global network!"
"Yes, sir."
Jarvis immediately opened the office, and then everyone saw that the glowing virtual thoughts began to fluctuate violently at this moment.
It was like a ball of boiling water that suddenly exploded!
A large amount of online information poured into Ultron's mind, and in an instant, this robot, which was as white as a piece of paper, was dyed with various colors.
'here we go.'
Bant sat upright, waiting to watch the show.
Five minutes later, the thoughts slowly calmed down and turned into something like gentle spring water again.
"Ultron?"
Tony was also a little nervous and called out tentatively.
Unexpectedly, Ultron did not have any unusual reaction and he answered quietly.
"I'm here, Mr. Stark."
Just like Jarvis.
This surprised Bant very much.
Isn't this right?
Ultron doesn't plan to destroy the world anymore?
He couldn't understand why the Ultron in this universe had changed his personality. After seeing so much evil in humans on the Internet, he didn't intend to destroy humans?
What kind of saint is this?
Something was wrong, very wrong.
Bant's eyes narrowed.
He planned to take another look.
But Tony secretly waved his fist excitedly and asked:
"How about it?"
In an instant, countless light screens opened in front of everyone's eyes. Through the global network connection and surveillance cameras, Ultron processed countless information. This increasingly information-based world seemed transparent in its eyes.
"Sir, there are 1645 crimes currently taking place in New York, and 538 crimes are expected to happen soon... There are tens of thousands of people who are likely to commit crimes..."
Ultron replied calmly.
But its heart is not at peace.
“Do we need to mobilize the Iron Army?”
