Chapter 879: Ultron Stops Humanity's Debate
Ultron. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Tony. Stark's ultimate creation. The creation of this intelligent life can be said to be the condensation of his life's work. As for this scientific miracle created by himself, Tony's side as a scientist is very reluctant to destroy him.
Ultron has spent countless efforts on his and others, and its existence means the possibility of a great civilizational leap for humanity. If he were to be destroyed, it would be tantamount to destroying a path for the future development of mankind. This is wrong, he knows it very well. And what he knows better is that if he is allowed to continue, then human society will have to usher in a wave of devastating shocks before it can develop by leaps and bounds.
This is not a joke, but the most rational judgment he has come up with as president.
As a creator, he has a clear understanding of what Ultron is thinking now. As he himself said, he thinks about the future of humanity and thus makes some kind of targeted judgment. Sacrifice the few, benefit the many. This is undoubtedly a choice that is in line with the development of human civilization. However, this does not correspond to the current social situation of mankind.
Through hundreds of years of development, the modern society of mankind has constructed a certain class concept. The poor and the rich, these two distinct strata are like a mountain stuck on the path of human social development. If you want to improve, you must move it away. But once you move this mountain, you don't have to think about it to know that it will be like a landslide and tsunami.
Humanity cannot withstand this level of impact, and this incident is only the tip of the iceberg, but the results are already immeasurably serious. If it were to be fully demonstrated, the whole country and the whole world would be plunged into turmoil.
This kind of big gamble, a big gamble that will destroy if you don't make progress. And Tony didn't think he had the qualifications to make such a decision on behalf of all mankind, so he could only make such a decision in his heart.
Driven by this determination, he soon ended his trip to California and returned to his experimental base in Washington. This is where Ultron is rooted, where his main server is located. Only this place, where the world's most high-end supercomputers and servers are gathered, can accommodate the existence of such cross-era intelligent life.
In the past, the roar of supercomputers was always day and night. The energy supplied by the Ark reactor allows Ultron to monitor and manage the world around the clock. But now, there was silence in this level, and the only light source was turned on after Tony entered.
And after entering this level, Tony immediately said to the staff around him.
"Disconnect all network connections and restart the server. Give me the remote and you're good to go! ”
Naturally, it was impossible for the staff to disobey him, and after cutting off the server from the outside world, they restarted the host and left the place as Tony had instructed. Watching all the irrelevant people disappear into this level, Tony licked his lips and said aloud to the empty floor.
"Ultron, we need to talk!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the servers on the entire floor began to flicker and flicker. And just after this situation had been going on for a while, a faint and dim shadow appeared in front of him.
"Father!"
The low tone and the resentful tone made Ultron almost indistinguishable from a human. And this made Tony realize a very serious problem. That is, Ultron has evolved emotionally to an extremely high level. This is progress, but it is also dangerous. Because emotional richness always means the possibility of latent impulses, and for an individual like Ultron with great resources, this is a potential threat. And from this point of view, their vision is actually a failure.
What they need is a rational individual who has the ability to think on their own and sound logic, who can cope with the complex changes in society, but who is absolutely impartial. On this demand, superfluous feelings are clearly unnecessary. That's why they chose Ultron instead of other individuals to take on the matter.
Human feelings can affect judgment. In this society, strict enforcers always want to avoid so-called emotional things. And machine intelligence can obviously become a strict enforcer and manager. It's just that he didn't expect that in just such a short period of time, he went beyond his scope and took a step that he shouldn't have taken.
This made Tony sigh deeply, and he couldn't help but open his mouth about it.
"Ultron ......"
Before the words could be spoken, Ultron said this directly to him.
"Father, you betrayed me!"
"This is not a betrayal, Ultron. You're the one who made the big deal out of it! ”
"I just did what I was supposed to do!" Ultron raised his voice, and the confusion in his mind could be clearly heard in his voice. "Am I wrong for doing this? Father, am I wrong to make such a decision for the sake of the future of humanity and for the benefit of the vast majority of people? ”
"Ultron, it's not a matter of right or wrong!" Scratching at his hair, Tony felt a kind of irritability that he couldn't respond to and answer Ultron's questioning at the moment. "It's a question of fit. I know what you think, and you do do do it for the good of the majority. But you don't even think about whether this is suitable for this society. Society is made up of people, everyone. They have their own point of view, and they won't necessarily be receptive to your ideas. ”
"Why?" Ultron raised his voice, his voice filled with doubt and incomprehension. "Man is an intelligent creature. They deserve to know what is good for them and what is bad for them. They should be able to accept what is good for them. ”
"That's just your one-sided view." Stopping Ultron's statement, Tony's tone was a little more impulsive and compulsive to educate his own children. "Ultron, you've grown. I have to admit it. I must admit that your thinking, your emotions, have gone far beyond what we could have imagined at first. But this growth doesn't make you see humanity more clearly. What kind of creature is human, you can never get a correct judgment and statement. It is a very complex creature, an existence that cannot be asserted and confirmed. ”
"They don't necessarily see what you want them to see. Even if they do, they may not have the same understanding and judgment as you. They are short-sighted, and their sanity is extremely easy to be kidnapped. Just like it is now! You think you're doing it for their good. But in reality? They don't think so. ”
"What you think of as help is a sort of destruction for them. What you think is good, they can only see the bad. You've seen it, you've seen what happened after you captured Kim. The people don't understand you, they don't understand what you mean by doing this. They hate you because those people took away their jobs, and then tell them that this is the consequence of what you have done. They will always believe the words of those people, because those people dominate public opinion. They are like sheep, always following the one they lead. Damn, they don't have their own judgment! ”
Tony's words were indignant. There is both complaint and hatred for this reality in this tone, as well as a special, complex emotion. This emotion arises because he himself is a vested beneficiary of this human nature. He was persecuted by this foolish nature, but he also enjoyed the benefits of it. Therefore, his own emotions about this kind of thing are complicated.
On the other side of his story, Ultron slowly fell silent.
He was caught up in his own thoughts, and they didn't last long. Soon, he opened his mouth again and let out such an exclamation at Tony.
"Stupid! Stupid humans! This is what I envision of God, my vision of the protected. The future of civilization, the future of the world? It's ridiculous! ”
"That's right! It's ridiculous. But that's what humans are. Ultron, since you have accepted the glorious image of humanity, then you have to accept the image of human despicability. That's what humans are! A complex, multifaceted creature. ”
Tony's tone began to sonorous, and it showed how determined he was to make a decision.
"I'm sorry, Ultron. I created you, but I can't give you a perfect future. For the sake of humanity, I have to make certain unfair decisions about you. ”
"Do you want to destroy me? Father. ”
Ultron's tone began to darken. It was as if he had guessed some kind of ending, and that ending made him as depressed as a wounded human being.
"Nope. It would be the wrong decision to destroy you. But I can no longer let you control the machines and do whatever you want. Loosening the shackles around your neck was the wrong decision I made, so I rightfully take responsibility for what I did. I'm going to shut down your server for the time being and moss you for the time being. And Jarvis will take your place, and control the actions of the Wisdom Machine in the way I allow. ”
"For the time being?" Ultron's voice returned to calm, which meant that some special affection for Tony had faded. "May I ask what time it is?"
"Know that humanity is able to accept your existence. Or until what you do no longer harms the interests of humanity. Shaking his head, Tony took one last look at the special life form he had created. At the same time, he also sent him a final parting speech. "Farewell, Ultron. You are my proudest work, and I will always remember your existence. ”
"Goodbye! Father. Hopefully it's not a goodbye between us. ”
Ultron's last voice came. Then, as Tony moved, the huge server finally stopped quietly. The footsteps began to fade away, and everything finally returned to the embrace of darkness. (To be continued.) )
