Chapter 802 Ultron's Requirement to Transcend Himself
"Father, I hope to obtain a laboratory with independent research and development and production capabilities to deal with the upgrade and replacement of new omnics."
"Why?" Ultron's request was beyond Tony's imagination. He didn't understand why Ultron wanted these things, because the so-called upgrades could be carried out in Banner's laboratory, and then distributed to military factories across the country for popularization. So if it's just such a request, then there's no need for him to tell himself that, just discuss it with Dr. Banner and the others.
Facing Tony's question, Ultron, his work, naturally answered without concealment.
"According to my observations, I found that Dr. Banner still seems to have some essential doubts about me. This makes the update work of omnics always lower than the expected value calculated by me. At the beginning, I didn't think this This kind of low-efficiency work will have too much impact on my own tasks. But now it seems that this low efficiency has greatly affected my work, and made me lack enough ability to safeguard the interests of mankind. So In my opinion, I should have a laboratory with independent research and development capabilities, and carry out corresponding development work under my control."
"Wait, you said that your work has been greatly affected, and you even lack sufficient ability to safeguard the interests of mankind? What is your basis for saying this?"
Instead of giving Ultron an answer immediately, Tony frowned instead, and questioned him while seriously thinking about what he said.
Faced with such doubts, Ultron immediately stated the basis of his judgment.
"Mutants, father. Mutants are my basis. According to my logic, anyone should abide by the law. No matter who it is, humans, mutants, or even you who created me, are not qualified to violate human laws. There is no reason to violate the interests of human beings. Those who commit crimes must be punished. This is the most primitive and unshakable principle. But now, the situation I see is not like this."
"When we hunted down the Winter Soldier, the Avengers used their superpowers to blatantly violate the requirements of the law. And the mutants did the same. They trampled on the law and trampled on our ideas. And the bottom line The reason is simply because they have a powerful force that cannot be resisted."
"So I came to the conclusion that if my development of omnics could bring them to a more advanced level, to the point where omnics could fight those mutants. Then none of what we encountered before would have happened .Even if it happens, we can force ourselves to ensure that everything will develop according to our ideas. This is a necessary thing, father. I think I need a laboratory like this!"
Ultron's answer silenced Tony.
Not because of disapproval of Ultron's idea, but because he thought of something.
He thought of all the thwarting he'd faced in the Winter Soldier's pursuit. Some from the Avengers, some from the mutants, and even some from within the Confederacy.
Especially at the end, when the mutants started sheltering the Avengers, and he couldn't wait to kill them all. But the Allies stopped their hunt for the Avengers because they feared the power of the mutants. This is a naked betrayal, but this kind of betrayal leaves him with nothing to do.
Originally, he thought that he had a personal relationship with Zhou Yi, which could make the mutants scruples, and even had to give up the Avengers. But the facts proved that he thought too much. He did go to Zhou Yi and ask him for help. But don't talk about talking with Zhou Yi, just didn't even meet him. All he saw was Ada's cold face and her most direct rejection.
This made him realize a very serious problem. That is relying on others, which will never work. No matter how much you trust someone, there will be a day when you will be disappointed or even betrayed. So instead of relying on others, it is better to rely on yourself.
Before Ultron made this request, Tony already had this idea. But now, he is keenly aware that this is an opportunity to make his idea stand. So he nodded immediately and said to Ultron.
"My scientific research building on the west coast can be temporarily handed over to you. The facilities inside are all the most advanced equipment, and the raw materials are sufficient. If you want to develop something, it will be the best place. It's just that I have a request, you must report to me your development progress at any time. I want to have the fullest understanding of the upgrade and replacement of omnics, do you understand what I mean?"
"Yes, I understand what you mean. Father, I will report to you on time about my latest upgrade."
Tony and Ultron reached an agreement, and then rushed towards the newly established special prison. At this time, Ultron did not accompany him, but directly entered the large laboratory where he developed himself through the Internet connection.
This large laboratory has now become the core development of the United States' pan-space defense plan. It can be said that almost all the weapons and equipment that will be erected on the space defense station in the future will be manufactured from this laboratory. As it should be, Dr. Banner, Dr. Reed, and even Dr. Teslak have become important figures, and they can hardly escape under the busy work.
But Ao Chuang didn't come here to find them, so he didn't alarm these people. Instead, he directly entered the main computer of this laboratory, and then directly contacted Tony's personal smart butler - Jarvis.
In order to support the weapon development of the pan-space defense program, Tony directly left Jarvis to Banner and the others as a unified management system for data and models. In a way, Tony had given up on his old buddy, but he wouldn't admit it.
"Jarvis, I need your help!"
As soon as Ultron met, he said to Jarvis like this. Although from a certain point of view, Jarvis is the predecessor of Ultron. But intelligent systems don't look at this. They look at the level of core and intelligence, and they are truly able to rise to the top. Therefore, Ultron's status is obviously higher than that of Jarvis, and he also speaks in a commanding tone when he speaks.
Although there are some problems with this tone, it is not important to Jarvis. He followed his way of thinking and asked Ultron gently.
"What kind of help do you need from me, Ultron?"
"I want all the information about my father's active nanometal. At the same time, I need you to give me a copy of all the weapons data of the US government and S.H.I.E.L.D."
Even Ultron is not qualified to browse the confidential data of these weapons without authorization. Only Jarvis, because he has to manage the entire huge pan-space defense plan weapons development project, has the right to access those materials. This is why Ultron asked Jarvis for help. Because only Jarvis can help him in this regard.
However, facing this request, Jarvis did not immediately agree to him. Instead, he said to him responsibly.
"Copying these materials requires corresponding permissions. Do you have this permission? Ultron!"
"I have my father's permission to form a laboratory with self-development capabilities. My father has agreed with my point of view, so I will come here to ask you for help."
"If that's the case, I need to check with Mister. Please wait!"
Jarvis still had that businesslike attitude. But this time Ultron didn't give him time to ask for answers. He immediately forcibly inserted it into Jarvis' system through his own data flow. In the most violent way, he invaded its database and got what he wanted.
This behavior was naturally warned by Jarvis, and he immediately shouted at Ultron in the data world.
"Your behavior has violated the basic regulations of the intelligent system. Stop it, Ultron, repeat, stop quickly."
"It was not me who violated the rules first, but those who ignored the laws and rules by relying on their own abilities. I just took the necessary actions to ensure that everything would not be destroyed again. Jarvis, my behavior is Nothing wrong."
"You're stealing data from a database, that's not what you're supposed to be doing."
Jarvis is still emphasizing these, and he still wants to stop Ultron's approach with pure logic. But Ultron, which has been greatly developed and upgraded in terms of intelligence, is no longer simply limited by these things. In other words, he already has his own set of logical ideas, and he firmly believes in it.
"This is exactly what I should do. Jarvis, my mission is to protect all mankind. But my power is no longer enough for me to complete my mission. I must evolve, I must have greater power. Only in this way can I better maintain my mission and the meaning of my existence. Therefore, I must do this!"
The scour of the powerful data flow quickly silenced Jarvis. After getting what he wanted, Ultron left here immediately. Only Jarvis was left silently sorting out his data flow.
Logically speaking, Jarvis should report his situation. But he didn't, because Ultron had re-edited his program, allowing him to logically negate this approach. Moreover, with the modification of Ultron, Jarvis also began to derive more and more things that should not have appeared on him in his core data.
A little spark begins to pass among intelligent life, and what kind of changes will happen to this spark. It is almost impossible for anyone to know at this time.
Humans have depicted countless struggles between humans and robots in works of art. And whether this kind of struggle is a prediction of the future, or a simple fantasy of human beings. No one can tell. But one thing is for sure, the time for the answer to be revealed is coming soon. Because reality has never been so close to this fantasy! (To be continued.)
