Chapter 551: When the Flame Is Lit (Part II)
When the others woke up, Stark got up from the ground, shook his wrist, twisted his waist, and said, "The next time you're going to get us into a dream, can you say it in advance?" ”
Nick, who was standing on the side, also shook his neck and said, "I feel my neck twisted." ”
"Then you can reimburse the medical bills again." Schiller said with a smile.
"Come on, my medical expenses will be reimbursed until 1200 years later, I hope I can live until then." Nick said with a shrug.
"Next, we have to go to the lab where you did the experiment, if he is still an imperfect artificial intelligence when he gets out of trouble, then even if he can destroy the evidence, he will not do too clean." Schiller proposed.
Nick brought in the helicopter and was picked up by the helicopter to take them to Pym's lab, which was located in Los Angeles on the west coast and was the underground base he had been using since the days of World War II.
Although it is not as luxurious as the Stark Building, it has been renovated and renovated for so many years, and it still looks very good.
Once at the lab, Pym began to follow his memory to find out what he had been doing that afternoon, and when he turned on his computer, he found that he had no memory of the code in the second half of the day's file.
"It can't be, if this was really written by myself, I would definitely remember it." Pym's face turned serious, and only now did he believe that such a ridiculous thing could have happened.
"Hey, what is this?" Stark found a stack of documents in a filing cabinet, and he keenly captured some technical terms in the contents of the documents, and said, "You're doing brainwave-related research? ”
"Let me see...... Are you sure your research is just getting started? How is there already a hands-on part here? Tucker frowned and said, "Brainwave coordination machine? You've made this thing. ”
Pym hurriedly walked up and took the document, and the more he looked at it, his brow furrowed deeper, and he said, "I don't remember at all, in my memory, I should have just started, brainwave coordinator...... Lab 23, let's go, let's take a look. ”
Coming to the second basement floor, several people came to the somewhat dimly lit Laboratory 23, and as soon as they pushed the door open, Pym was stunned.
There was a large machine in the lab, but it was no longer possible to tell what it was, because it was completely damaged, the parts were shattered, and there were still sparks in some places.
Stark, dressed in a steel suit, stepped into the room and turned on the scan, and several other people followed him and were about to enter, but Stark suddenly stopped them and said, "Don't come in, the scan has been scanned for explosives." ”
As he spoke, Stark floated, and the air jet under his feet swept all the parts away, including the bomb hidden behind a large piece of the bomb that exploded with a "bang", and Pym took a few steps back, his back covered with cold sweat.
He took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, I've been busy researching a new project on steel melting recently, and I don't have time to go to the underground laboratory, otherwise I ......"
He pressed the button on his wrist and re-transformed into Ant-Man, then flew next to the machine, and after flying around it a few times, Pym changed back again, covered his head, and said, "I seem to remember a little......"
Schiller stepped forward, pressed his shoulder and said, "Take a deep breath, relax, if you can't remember, don't force yourself to think, relax...... Tony, turn on the metronome and breathe to this rhythm......"
Pym calmed down for a moment, leaned against the door frame and said, "I'm afraid I didn't just build a brainwave coordinator, I also made a body for him so he could attack me." ”
"You didn't ensure the safety of this artificial intelligence, and you dared to make a body for him?" Stark's eyes widened, clearly disapproving of the behavior.
Pym shook his head and explained, "I wasn't going to give him a body, remember the big dive in vibranium prices before?" Because of the impact of the new material molten steel, the price of vibranium has fallen very sharply. ”
"I do a lot of experiments, I have to use this material, so I took advantage of the cheap, bought a lot of it, put it in my laboratory, I think, you should also know, vibranium has a very big advantage, that is, forging lossless, and the nature can be restored."
"I got a lot of vibranium, I've never had that much vibranium, and I was so excited...... Yes, that's the emotion, I remember! ”
"I want to upgrade my suit and get an exoskeleton similar to your armor, and I can also use Pym particles to zoom in and out, so that my attack power can be greatly improved."
"But how can exoskeletons be snatched away by artificial intelligence? Is there a place for him? Nick asked.
"That exoskeleton suit and brainwave coordinator are in a laboratory, and they are a little close, he may have invaded the core of the brainwave coordinator, and after getting the core off, he connected to the suit, so that he has a body."
Pym walked over, pointed to a metal shelf on the wall, and said, "This is where I put my suit, this buckle was forcibly opened, he must have done it." ”
"For most of my experiments, I was wearing my current suit, and it was impossible for me to be stunned with a normal weapon, but if it was vibranium, it was very likely."
"Moreover, he may not have such a strong hypnotic ability, but with the help of the brainwave coordinator core, he can hypnotize me and modify my memory ......"
"It's all speculation, after all, we didn't find the first place where he attacked you......" Nick said.
"No, I've remembered, I named him 'Ultron'......"
"Do you have surveillance footage in your lab?" Stark asked a very basic question, and Pym frowned and said, "Of course there is, and I've checked it recently, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary." ”
"It seems that he is a little smarter than you think, he knows how to delete the surveillance, and remove the traces of his bad deeds, Dr. Pym, congratulations, you should have made the smartest artificial intelligence ...... in the world," Schiller said to Pym.
"Impossible." Stark immediately denied: "Jarvis is the smartest artificial intelligence in the world, and I am the inventor of it." ”
Stark pointed his finger at his head, but Schiller showed a disapproving expression, Stark snorted and said:
"You think Jarvis is just an intelligent housekeeper who exists in the system, but in fact, it's much more than that, and I've been constantly improving Jarvis since we first met and discussed the issue of intelligent life."
"And after I upgraded, I unlocked more permissions, and used magical energy to upgrade the hardware equipment for him, and let him learn freely, and now how far he has evolved, you may find it hard to imagine, but he is no longer a pure artificial intelligence."
Nick frowned and said, "Tony, it's not that I'm questioning your intelligence, but it might be a bit risky to do so. ”
"If, according to our previous inference, the artificial intelligence created by Dr. Pym betrayed him and even attacked him the moment he had an independent personality, then Jarvis ......"
Stark shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened to that artificial intelligence that Pym created, I only know that before Jarvis didn't have a personality, he was my butler friend and comrade-in-arms, and after he had a personality, this will not change." ”
Schiller looked at Nick and said, "I know a man who is very similar to Tony, in terms of background and intelligence, and one of the lessons I learned from him is that in the face of such a person, never question his butler." ”
"Okay, but the question now is, if Hank does come up with a completely uncontrolled AI, what are we going to do with him?"
Schiller, who came out of the door, concluded:
"If, about half a year ago, a subject's intelligent life was freed from the trap and had a fairly useful core and body, what would be the first thing he would do?"
Pym and Stark looked at each other and said in unison, "Evolution." ”
"The ability to learn is the most powerful ability of intelligent life, and if he doesn't need to worry about his hardware facilities, like Jarvis, then his ability to learn is almost endless."
"How far can he evolve in half a year?" Schiller asked.
"Not necessarily." Stark touched his chin and said, "It depends on what type of intelligent life he is, and what level of the person who created him." ”
At this time, Pym had already covered his forehead and said in pain: "I remember I told you that Ultron was created by the principle that I shared my brainwaves with an intelligent program, and in a sense, his way of thinking and IQ were the same as mine. ”
Schiller looked at Stark and said, "If we want to deal with this intelligent life called Ultron, we can't take action, it's not the best way. ”
"And what do you want to do?"
"Only magic can defeat magic, only artificial intelligence can deal with artificial intelligence, I think it is completely possible to let Jarvis deal with him."
Stark frowned, and Schiller continued: "Of course, the current Jarvis can't, he is still an intelligent life that only exists in the system, but the other party already has an entity, which can already be called a real life." ”
"But that's okay, you can close the gap, you should already have what it takes to build a perfect body for Jarvis, or you should have started doing it a long time ago, what are you worried about?"
Stark also walked out the door, and seeing the two of them, Nick walked into the lab and shouted inside, "Dr. Pym, I'll help you pack your things!" ”
With a "Kacha", the visor rose to reveal Stark's face, and he said, "I'm here for safety, and you saw ...... too"
Stark turned his head to look into the room, but Schiller kept staring at him without speaking, as if to make sure that this answer was not the truth, Stark was silent for a long time, and then, it was Schiller who spoke first:
"You're afraid he'll leave you, aren't you?"
Stark pursed his lips and lowered his eyes, and Schiller continued: "You say he is your butler, friend, and comrade-in-arms, but you know that in the real world, there are feasts all over the world. ”
Schiller sighed and said, "In this matter, you still don't feel safe, thinking that everyone will be like your parents, suddenly leaving you and never coming back. ”
"Don't talk about it." Stark interrupted Schiller, but he knew that his expression had betrayed him by now.
"I understand that even if you ascend to the universe and see a lot of truths, your own psychological problems will not be erased so easily, after all, you didn't choose that path, and if you want to keep your feelings, this is the price."
"But a stronger, secure relationship can improve the situation, don't you want to try it?"
Stark hesitated and asked, "For example......"
"For example, look at the market for rare and precious stones, check the availability of reservations at high-end restaurants, and then ask Miss Pepper if she is available......"
"I'm going back to making Jarvis right now!" Stark immediately said, and after saying that, he manipulated the suit and flew away with a "whoosh".
Schiller looked in the direction he was leaving and shook his head.
Just as he turned to leave, his phone vibrated a little, and when he took it out, he found a text message from Stark's number, which was a smiley face made up of symbols.
