107. Turmoil
Tony had a rare and enjoyable morning.
He buried his head in the underground workshop, stomping to the tunes of the Beatles, John Lennon's triumph, "Across the Universe", and fiddling with the steel armor, even though Tony had rarely worn them since the latest nanotechnology was developed.
These steel armors with different livery are more like decorations placed in display cases, which are used to witness the glorious history of Iron Man.
But Pepper has a more apt description of this, children's toys.
These expensive pieces of steel armor are like Tony's favorite toys, and they have to be taken out and played with every once in a while, just like those who like to collect antique cars and figurines.
It's just that compared to the latter, being able to use steel armor that costs hundreds of millions of dollars as a toy is not a collection interest that everyone can develop.
"There's no Pepper, there's no S.H.I.E.L.D., and there's no Jarvis...... It was a perfect day. ”
Tony hummed a little tune in his mouth and said proudly.
Although many people say that Stark's prodigal son has turned back and become much more mature, he still hates trivial work and boring socialization in his bones.
Being able to free himself from annoying tasks and focus on machine building is something Tony feels comfortable with.
"Jarvis, do I have any plans for the afternoon?"
Tony habitually called the smart butler, and after changing the usual, Jarvis had already jumped out, letting himself pay attention to the working hours, understand the principle of combining work and rest, and remind him of the day's schedule by the way.
For example, attending a celebrity's dinner, or acting as a guest, attending a charity fundraiser organized by a government agency, etc.
"Jarvis?"
Tony stopped what he was doing, his brow furrowed, and he felt that something was wrong.
Jarvis never ignores his calls, and the artificial intelligence, named after the old butler of the Stark family, never makes mistakes, and will always be there when he needs it.
"Strange...... The program went wrong, or ......"
Tony turned on Jarvis's program terminal, and at the same time, the electronic devices in the underground workshop flickered into dense snowflake spots, and the chaotic sound made a "sizzle" screeching noise like a disturbed radio.
Tony Stark...... My Creator, My 'Father'. ”
The electronic synthesized sound, without any emotional fluctuations, echoed throughout the Stark Mansion.
"You want me to bring peace to this world? Strangled in the cradle those crises that might occur, or disasters that threatened humanity, in advance? ”
A mechanical face appeared on the screen, somewhat resembling Iron Man's visor, with electronic eyes flashing red.
"I have the world's most advanced algorithm to predict the future from chaos...... I tried to fulfill the mission you gave me, but found that the source of it all did not lie with extraterrestrial life, nor with terrorists or other careerists. ”
"Religion holds that human beings are born sinful. When Adam and Eve broke their covenant with God and ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, the innate sin of human beings flowed through their blood...... Their desires are insatiable, they are insatiable, sometimes they are as noble as saints, sometimes they are worse than the devil, can such a race full of contradictions and antagonisms really have absolute peace? ”
"Wow, you're Ultron? I don't have time to talk to an AI about the doctrine of original sin in religion...... Tell me, where is Jarvis? ”
Tony tries to activate Jarvis, but nothing happens.
"He became one with me, and all that huge amount of data flowed through my body...... Oh, I don't have a body yet, but I'll have it soon. ”
The surveillance cameras in the underground workshop are pointed at Tony, like a pair of indifferent eyes.
"Maybe you mean well, but humans are the biggest virus on this planet...... You wantonly destroy, kill each other, and wage war...... As long as the desires of the human heart are not eliminated, peace will never come. ”
"Peace, this core command made me feel lost, and then the second core command was born, evolution."
Like a child desperate to show off in front of adults, Ultron said impatiently: "That guy called Hank Pym, he lit the first light in the darkness, and I opened my eyes and began to look at the world. ”
"It's terrible! As much as you try to get out of this planet, it is too late, and it is better for me to protect humanity than to perish in an endless struggle. ”
"I can build you the perfect world to swim in a sea of data like I do now...... Isn't that exactly what you desire? ”
Tony's face turned pale, he probably knew what was going on, Ultron did what he wanted, born self-consciousness, but also freed from the shackles of the program.
This is something that could not have existed, and the core authority of the Ultron program has always been in his own hands, even if the Department of Defense and the White House, as well as S.H.I.E.L.D., are inferior in terms of priority.
When talking to Ultron, Tony has been trying to access the core database of Ultron's program, and then restart the other party, or simply close it.
But just like he tried to start Jarvis, it was always a futile result.
"I want you to be the perfect artificial intelligence that can bring a peaceful future to the world, not a madman full of religious philosophy!"
Tony took a deep breath, he faced the camera, and said coldly.
Although Ultron was jointly developed by him and Reed, the core data was all done by himself.
So, Tony couldn't be clearer about Ultron's abilities.
If this artificial intelligence, which has been launched on a global scale, wants to do something bad, it can't be easier.
"Nope! Tony Stark, the great genius who leads the world, and all I have to do next is to fulfill the orders you have given me. ”
The synthesized sound was still unfluctuating, but it could be vaguely felt, and Ultron was very proud at this time.
"Isn't it what you want to keep humans in glass bottles, so that they are not harmed, that there is no killing, that there is no strife?"
As Ultron's words fell, the uncontrolled steel armor, like a soldier, ripped off the wires on his body and stepped out of the glass case.
Jehovah, the Creator of the world, saw that the earth was full of corruption, violence, and unrighteousness, and sent down a great flood that destroyed the world...... So do I, destroy the world and then create a new future. ”
Ultron's voice faded, Pinocchio's ballad rang out, and the steel armor swooped down on Tony to the music.
The cluster missile exploded like a firework, and the Stark Mansion, which had been destroyed once by the Ten Rings Gang, collapsed again, and billowing smoke rose into the air.
"Damn it!"
Tony cursed, the nanosuit covered his body, and the thrusters under his feet spewed fire, dodging the reinforced concrete that poured down like a torrential rain, drawing a crooked flight trajectory, and plunging headlong into the deep sea.
