Chapter 1085: Soul Debate is planned
Everything has a way of doing things, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such. This is a verse in the Diamond Sutra, which talks about the principle that all the Dharma of Buddhism is empty.
And in Ultron's view, he is also creating a false bubble. A life that shouldn't have existed.
Vision, this life was created because of one of his thoughts, and the reason why he was created is also somewhat special. On the one hand, it is used as a substitute to satisfy the psychological feelings of the Stark couple, and on the other hand, it is an accumulation made so that he can figure out what real feelings are.
In his mind, Vision was born out of a completely blank slate, and as a doppelganger of himself, he was completely indistinguishable from a human baby. And this is his best chance to understand human feelings. Because judging by Maria and Tony's attitude now, they will definitely give the greatest love to this child with their own blood.
The strongest emotions in the human heart are love and hate, and learning these two is equivalent to understanding everything about human beings. And that is very important to Ultron, who has always wanted to change the entire human race on his own, so Ultron also attaches great importance to this plan.
Instruments and everything are off-the-shelf. The contents of the Ultron Lab were moved almost intact to the White House. Although these instruments are a bit backward from the current point of view, they do not affect the operation of Ultron. With the cooperation of Tony and Maria, Vision's birth plan immediately began to take action.
Carrying Maria into the life support pod, Tony could only watch Ultron move.
First, Maria was given a large dose of anesthetic, causing her to temporarily lose her physical consciousness. Then the laser was used to cut open her abdomen, and the injection probe of nanoelements was inserted deep into her belly, directly on the baby in her body, which was not yet formed.
Essentially, the child in Maria's womb has no room to continue developing. From a medical point of view, this is almost a congenital stillbirth. It cannot receive nutrients from its mother, nor can it continue to develop. In other words, if it continues to stay in Maria's belly, it will gradually become a burden.
If Mary could see it, it would be the right thing to do if she could take it out surgically. But Mary couldn't see it, and that's the main reason why things got to this point. So, the first thing Ultron has to do is to give this child life. A life that can connect with the mother and continue to grow.
That's not that hard for him. Directly infused with the nano elements controlled by him, the tissue parts of the undeveloped baby's body are completed little by little by completing the way of completion. Then, nano elements are used to construct new channels to connect with the mother and draw nutrients from the mother to supply the baby. This action is not only fast, but also effective.
Artificially programmed nanoelements are a much more powerful alternative to human systems. With the substitution of these things, all the systems in the baby's body immediately form a complete system. And having achieved this step, it can be said that as long as there is a sufficient supply of nutrients, the child already has the possibility of continuing to grow. Moreover, it will grow up faster than ordinary children.
Because a considerable part of his body structure is already made up of nanometals. Altron, which has already developed nanometals to the ecological molecular level, has given new nanoelements even more powerful capabilities. Even if it relies on bioenergy in the human body, it can supply a sufficient number of nanoelements for proliferative growth. And this almost means that nanoelements and biological cell molecules are already fully compatible, and there is not much difference.
If this child was indeed born, I am afraid that no one would have imagined that under his appearance that was no different from that of an ordinary human baby, he would have a body almost equivalent to a body of steel. It can be said that this is already the beginning of the equivalent of artificial superman.
Of course, whether it's Ultron or Tony, they don't care if they can make a superman. What they care about is whether they can actually give birth to this baby in a new life. On this issue, Tony is worried about whether he can or can't, while Ultron is worried about whether Tony will see the problem.
It is actually a very risky thing to replicate one's own intelligent system into such a new life being. Because Tony himself is a genius who can develop top-notch artificial intelligence. If it's too obvious, he'll be able to spot the problem. And at that time, there is naturally only one end for them to turn against each other.
Although, from a rational point of view, this is a wrong move. But judging from an emotional point of view, this is very possible. Ultron no longer has any blind expectations for Tony, so on this issue, he will only make his movements secret enough that he will not give Tony any chance to discover.
Thankfully, in terms of Vision's physical structure, it is indeed possible to be able to do so. Because the foundation of his own is still the foundation of humanity. At the present level, the brain, which is the most important structure of the human body, has already undergone a preliminary and standard development.
As long as the structure of the nanoelements is linked, Ultron is sure enough to transform this brain into a biocomputer-like existence. And as a unique existence, it is impossible for Tony to find any clues.
He was right, and Tony didn't see anything wrong with it. Perhaps because of the confusion of concern, Tony's entire attention was almost on Maria, and he didn't even notice what Ultron was doing. And this also provides Ultron with enough time and opportunity.
The act of transforming the brain into a biological computer did not last long, uploading its own replication system and erasing all of its memories. This is the most time-consuming project. In order to cover up his actions, Ultron is almost distracted, uploading the system while tinkering with the connection between the parent body and the vision.
And under this operation, it only took a few hours, and all the surgeries were already at the point of being declared over.
Through fluoroscopy and CT monitoring, Tony was able to clearly see the breath-like rhythm of the little being. It's pleasantly surprised, but it's not reassuring enough. So immediately, he asked Ultron.
"That's fine, are you sure you've got the problem out?"
"Yes, Mr. Stark. I've done everything I can. ”
Ultron, who had already thought of the specific words, replied without hesitation at this time, and he replied very calmly.
"I've used nanometal elements to repair the incomplete frame of his whole body, and I've also built a new nutrient delivery system that strengthens the connection between him and his mother. As long as Lady Maria can provide him with enough nutrients, I don't think he will have a problem when he is born! ”
"But, but...... "Even how articulate a person is usually at this time, it is inevitable that he will become a little clumsy. Even Tony is the same. Although Ultron's answer had already given him enough surprises, he still couldn't put his mind at ease. Because from his professional point of view, it should be completely insufficient.
He can also do this by repairing the undeveloped baby completely. Constructing a new nutrient delivery system is not a problem for him. Since they were all doing the same thing, why did he deduce that there was no result? But how successful was Ultron? With a slight movement in his mind, he immediately realized that Ultron had something to hide on this issue. And this made him immediately sink his face.
"No way. Just by doing that, you can't give him a new life. I'm well aware of what's missing from such a step. What he lacks is a soul, and that's why I can't do anything about it. You must have done something, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to do this. What the hell are you hiding from me? ”
Tony's sudden attack made Ultron feel a little surprised at once. However, as an intelligent being, he had already calculated this possibility in his plan. So when Tony said this, he immediately came up with his own explanation.
"Soul? What is Soul? Mr. Stark, can you explain this proposition to me from a scientific point of view? ”
As soon as this question was asked, Tony immediately fell into a state of dumb fire.
Soul, this question may be able to be explained by science. But it is definitely not something that current science can give a specific statement. Tony just couldn't explain this, so he couldn't do anything about it. So when Ultron asked, it was naturally impossible for him to give any explanation.
And on this issue, Ultron has his own opinion.
"In my opinion, the so-called soul is nothing more than the system and logic of intelligent computing. Just as you created me, did you also add such an unverifiable thing as the soul when you created me? ”
Tony was very sure of this, because he knew very well that the birth of Ultron was based entirely on logic and programmatic calculations. He is a logical, intelligent procedural being. It is an existence that is beyond the basic laws of the world. It's just that he's not sure if Ultron has such a soul or not.
The definition of the soul is really very peculiar, because it cannot be defined, so it cannot be described. Naturally, he could only listen to Ultron on this issue.
"According to my vision, the so-called soul is nothing more than the logical thinking and operation of a system program. That being the case, I added a program part of his body that represented logical operations. The nano element can carry this, and as long as he is allowed to develop, this logical operation program can have a complete self and consciousness like me, so does it mean that he has a new life? ”
Hide the part of your own doppelganger, and reveal the rest of the content. Ultron's statement immediately silenced Tony. And after a long time, he finally opened his mouth with difficulty.
