Chapter 661: Give Up
Ultron, Stark's most failed creation in his life, a stain on his heroic career. In particular, the "Sokovia Incident" caused by Ultron is an important turning point in the MCU storyline. Doubts about superheroes, government pressure on the Avengers, the outbreak of civil war, and the Avengers' break...... And so many things started from this.
But it was a foreseeable disaster, and Richard knew it was going to happen sooner or later, so he prepared for it early.
Richard had long left a backdoor program in Stark's system, which was dedicated to showing him Stark's various novelties and movements - Richard had Xia Technology in his hands and Ganata, the top technology side god in the universe, and it was very easy to do this.
That's why he was alerted at the moment of Ultron's birth, and then digitized his transformed body and drilled into the system of the Avengers headquarters through the back door.
If Ultron is really born, then things will still be a little troublesome.
In the original work, Ultron has caused large-scale crises again and again, and even achieved the feat of "human extinction" for a time. It's not that Ultron himself has the hard power to destroy the earth, but that he has many means and is difficult to eliminate.
After all, the essence of Ultron is a program. You destroy one of his bodies, and he can jump into another body with the help of the internet and wireless signals. He can drill around the entire planet's Internet, and he can make hundreds or thousands of backups for himself. As long as there's a little left, you'll never be able to defeat it outright.
So the easiest and most direct way is to strangle it in the cradle before it develops.
Richard had no intention of talking nonsense with Ultron, and there was no point in wasting time on a dying artificial intelligence. The digital Nexus forms a cross with both palms, and the cross storm is released in the online world!
His light is now capable of annihilating atoms and erasing all that exists from the world, and data is no exception.
The newborn Ultron is still in the stage of learning and growth, without any countermeasures or defenses, and was completely wiped out by a cross storm cleanly.
Richard knew that if he forced his way in so forcibly, it would definitely trigger a security breach. Stark must have known that his system had been breached.
But that's just right.
Instead of leaving, he got out of a cable, lifted his transformation, and sat down in a chair in the lab and waited patiently.
Three minutes later, Stark and Dr. Banner reappeared at the door of the lab.
"You're slower than I thought." Richard said.
Stark was surprised and asked, "Is that you?" What are you doing here? β
Richard gestured to the side. The two of them looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that the transparent blue ball of light was still floating on the floor in the middle of the roomβit was the model of Ultron that Stark had shown Banner earlier. It's just that by this point the model is in tatters.
If you compare it to a brain, then its skull has been smashed to pieces. The internal structure is also missing a large piece, as if it has been evaporated, leaving a large blank space.
Stark's face quickly turned a little ugly.
"Before you ask, yes, I did it." Richard stood up.
Stark looked unhappy, and any engineer would probably feel the same way when he saw the work he had worked so was destroyed. Richard knew that if it wasn't him but someone else here, Stark would have done it directly.
"Why?" He asked.
"Maybe you should ask Jarvis." Richard said.
Jarvis's voice rang out through the speakers in the room: "Sir, I just checked the historical data of Ultron. I don't know why, but after you left, he suddenly seemed to improve himself and was ready to complete the task you had given him? β
Stark was stunned: "But Ultron is still very early to finish." β
"Yes, I'm still investigating this part, but I'm sure that Ultron's intelligence was indeed done just now. And after his analysis and deduction, he came to the conclusion that "world peace is impossible." He believed that the only way to achieve it was for humanity to be wiped out on the surface. β
Stark looked a little surprised. He glanced at Richard, then turned to look at Banner beside him.
Banner took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose a little tiredly.
"Look, I said it might be like this." He said.
Stark frowned and shook his head stubbornly, "No, it's just...... A little accident, a little mistake. Now that we know the logic error that can occur, we just need to fix it. I'm going to change Ultron's core code in the next design so that he can't hurt humans......"
"Stark." Richard interrupted him, "You know that's not the solution, do you?" β
Stark stopped and looked at him.
After a while, Stark slowly spoke: "I'm just trying to solve the problem on my own...... By the hands of man himself. It's not that I don't trust you...... You are our partner, our comrade-in-arms and guardian, I understand. But I can't...... We can't put everything in you forever.
Humanity has to solve its own problems, and we can't just live in shelter forever. Ultron is the best solution, our ultimate line of defense......"
"Is it the best solution, or is it the easiest solution?" Richard asked rhetorically.
Stark frowned.
"I never said you should rely on me, and I never wanted to leave that impression on you." Richard said, "I agree that humans should solve their own problems on their own, because ...... Well, like the captain said, Ultraman is not a nanny for humans. Not every crisis I will deal with, and it is indeed up to humanity to solve the problem on its own.
But the proposal you're proposing now? That's not solving the problem, Tony, that's just being lazy. Are you trying to solve all the troubles down the road once and for all? Do you think you can take into account any situation, any possibility?
No one can do it. If anyone thinks so, then that guy must be a megalomaniac. β
Finally, he walked up to Stark.
"I know you've been in a lot of responsibility lately. But at least listen to me about it, forget about Ultron. The Earth doesn't need him to be as good as he is...... In fact, it might be better. β
There were other things he didn't say.
Stark would be grateful if he knew what kind of nightmare Richard's gesture had resolved.
Richard didn't say anything more, patted Stark on the shoulder, and then walked out of the main entrance.
The two stood beside the paralyzed pale blue model, and after a moment of silence, Dr. Banner turned his head, "I think he's right." β
