Chapter 879 Ultron Shutdown Human Debate
Ultron. Tony Stark's ultimate creation. The creation of this intelligent life can be said to be the condensed effort of his life. As for this scientific miracle created by himself, Tony as a scientist is very unwilling to destroy him.
Ultron has cost him and others countless efforts, and its existence means the possibility of a huge civilizational leap for mankind. If he is destroyed in this way, it is equivalent to destroying a path for the future development of mankind. It's wrong, he knows it. What he knows better is that if he is allowed to continue, then human society will face a wave of devastating impact before it can achieve rapid development.
This is not a joke, but the most sane judgment he has come to as a president.
As a creator, he can clearly understand Ultron's current thinking. Just like what he himself said, he was thinking about the future of mankind, so he made a certain targeted judgment. Sacrifice the few to benefit the many. This is undoubtedly a choice in line with the development of human civilization. But this is not in line with the current social situation of mankind.
Through hundreds of years of development, modern human society has established a certain class concept. The poor and the rich, these two distinct classes are like a mountain stuck firmly on the development path of human society. If you want to improve, you must move it away. But once the mountain is moved away, it will be like a landslide and tsunami without even thinking about it.
Human beings cannot withstand this level of impact. The current incident is just a microcosm of the tip of the iceberg, but the result is already immeasurably serious. If it is really fully displayed, the entire country and even the entire world will be plunged into turmoil.
This kind of big gamble, a big gamble that if you don't make progress, you will be destroyed. And Tony doesn't think he has the qualifications to make such a decision on behalf of all mankind, so he can only make such a determination in his heart.
Driven by this determination, he quickly ended his trip in California and returned to the experimental base in Washington. This is the root of Ultron, 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 this kind of intelligent life that spans the ages.
In the past, the roar of supercomputers was always here day and night. The energy supplied by the Ark Reactor allows Ultron to conduct global monitoring and management around the clock. But now, this floor is completely silent, and the only light source is only turned on after Tony entered here.
After entering this floor, Tony immediately said to the staff around him.
"Disconnect all network connections and restart the server. Give me the remote and you can leave!"
It is naturally impossible for the staff to disobey his intentions,
After cutting off the connection between the server and the outside world, they restarted the host and left here according to Tony's instructions. Seeing all the irrelevant personnel disappear into this floor, Tony licked his lips and said loudly to the empty floor.
"Ultron, we need to talk!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the servers on the entire floor began to flicker on and off. And just after this situation went on for a while, a faint yellow light and shadow appeared in front of him.
"Father!"
The low tone and the resentful tone made Ultron almost indistinguishable from human beings. And this also made Tony realize a very serious problem. That is, Ultron has evolved to an extremely high level emotionally. This is progress, but it is also dangerous. Because the abundance of emotions always means potential impulsiveness, and for an individual with huge resources like Ultron, this is a potential threat. From this point of view, their idea is actually a failure.
What they need is a rational individual with the ability to think for himself and sound logic, who can cope with complex changes in society, but who is absolutely fair. In this demand, redundant feelings are obviously unnecessary. This is also the reason why they chose Ultron instead of other individuals to undertake this matter.
Human emotions can affect judgment. In this society, strict enforcers always avoid the so-called sentimentality. And machine intelligence can obviously become a strict law enforcer and manager. It's just that he didn't expect that in such a short period of time, he went beyond his own scope and took a step that shouldn't be taken.
This made Tony sigh deeply, and he couldn't help opening his mouth about it.
"Ultron..."
Before the words were spoken, Ultron said directly to him.
"Father, you betrayed me!"
"This is not betrayal, Ultron. You made it big!"
"I just did what I should do!" Ultron increased his volume, and he could clearly hear the doubts in his mind from his voice. "Is it wrong for me to do this? Father, is it wrong for me to make such a decision for the future of mankind and the interests of the vast majority of people?"
"Ultron, this is not a question of right and wrong!" Scratching his hair, Tony felt a kind of irritability that was difficult to deal with and answer to Ultron's questioning. "It's a matter of fit. I know what you're thinking. You're doing it for the good of the majority. But you haven't thought about whether it's right for society. Society is made up of people, everyone. They If you have your own point of view, they won't necessarily accept yours."
"Why?" Ao Chuang raised his voice, making his voice full of doubts and incomprehension. "Humans are intelligent creatures. They should 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 opinion." Stopping Ultron's statement, Tony's tone was a little more impulsive and compulsive in educating his children. "Ultron, you have grown. I have to admit this. I have to admit that your thinking and your emotions have far exceeded what we could have imagined at the beginning. But this growth does not make you See humans more clearly. What kind of creatures are humans, you can never get a correct judgment and statement. This is a very complex creature, an existence that cannot be asserted and confirmed."
"They may not be able to see what you want them to see. Even if they see it, they may not have the same understanding and judgment as you. They are short-sighted, and their reason is extremely easy to be kidnapped. Just like now Like that! You think you're doing it for their own good. But in reality? They don't think so."
"What you see as help is kind of destructive to them. What you see as good, they only see the bad. You see it too, you see what happened after you captured Kim. The people don't Understood you, they don't understand what you mean by doing this. They hate you because those people take their jobs and then tell them that's what you did. They will always believe what those people say, Because those people dominate public opinion. They're like sheep, always following the one they lead. Damn, they don't have their own judgment!"
Tony's words were indignant. There are both complaints and hatred for this reality in this tone, as well as a special and complicated emotion. This emotion arises because he himself is a vested interest in this human nature. He was both persecuted and benefited by this stupid nature. Therefore, his own emotions about this kind of thing are complicated.
On the other side of his narration, Ultron slowly fell silent.
He fell into his own thinking, and the time of thinking was not long. Soon, he opened his mouth again, expressing such emotion to Tony.
"Stupid! Stupid human beings! This is the god I imagined, the protected one I imagined. The future of civilization, the future of the world? How ridiculous!"
"That's right! It's ridiculous. But this is human beings. Ultron, since you accept the glorious image of human beings, you have to accept the despicable image of human beings. This is human beings! A complex, multi-faceted creature."
Tony's tone began to clang, and this also showed how determined he had made the decision.
"I'm sorry, Ultron. I created you, but I can't give you a perfect future. For the sake of human beings, I must make some unfair decisions to you."
"Do you want to destroy me, Father."
Ultron's tone began to become low. He seemed to have guessed some kind of ending, and this kind of ending made him depressed like a human being with a wounded heart.
"No. It was the wrong decision to destroy you. But I can no longer let you control the omnic and do whatever you want. It was the wrong decision I made to loosen the shackles around your neck, so I Of course, I am responsible for everything I do. I will temporarily shut down your server and temporarily lock you up. And Jarvis will replace you and control omnic behavior in the way I allow."
"Temporary?" Ultron's voice returned to calm, and this also meant that his special feelings for Tony disappeared. "May I ask what time this is?"
"Know that human beings can accept your existence. Or until your actions no longer harm the interests of human beings." Shaking his head, Tony took a last look at the special life form he created. At the same time, he also sent his final farewell speech. "Farewell, Ultron. You are my proudest work, and I will always remember your existence."
"Good-bye! Father. I hope it's not a good-bye between us."
Ultron's last voice came. Then, following Tony's movements, the huge server finally slowly stopped making noise. The footsteps began to fade away, and everything finally returned to the embrace of darkness. (To be continued.)
