Chapter 550 When the Flame Is Ignite (Part 1)

Stark looked at Schiller in surprise. He found that Schiller's expression was very serious and he was not joking. He also frowned and looked at Pym.

Pym was confused by them. He scratched his head and said, "What's wrong with you? What do you mean I forgot? What did I forget?"

Seeing that Stark and Schiller were looking at him, Pym explained, "Yes, I am studying artificial intelligence, but it is different from the direction that Howard studied before..."

"I think human brain waves are very magical. If you want to give intelligent life a real soul, you can combine your own brain waves to create it. In this way, you can achieve..."

Schiller interrupted him and said, "I'm sorry, Dr. Pym, the most important thing now is that I must confirm your mental state and see if you have been hypnotized."

The reason why Schiller did this was that in the original comics, Ultron was not created by Stark and the Hulk, but by Ant-Man Dr. Pym.

The principle is similar to what Pym said. Pym used his brain waves to combine with an intelligent life, causing this artificial intelligence to produce real consciousness. This artificial intelligence was later called Ultron.

After Ultron was born with self-awareness, he began to hate his creator, so he attacked Dr. Pym and hypnotized him, making him completely forget that he had created Ultron.

Ultron's hypnosis was very successful, so he had enough time to evolve himself until he appeared and brought continuous troubles to the Avengers.

Ultron has a strong hypnotic ability. In the comics, he even hypnotized Stark and asked Stark to create a body for him, that is, Ultron 9, and soaked this body in a solution, giving him an indestructible shell.

Schiller's attitude was very gentle, so Pym quickly calmed down. He frowned and asked, "What do you think is wrong with my mental state?"

"I suspect you may have been hypnotized." Schiller looked at Pym and said.

"But we just met, how did you judge?" Pym instinctively questioned.

But at this time, Stark had already guessed Schiller's intention. The keywords of artificial intelligence research, hypnosis, and amnesia are linked together, which easily reminds people of the plot of the Omnic Crisis. As a master of artificial intelligence, Stark knows better than anyone how much harm intelligent life out of the control of the creator will bring.

Schiller is the owner of mind reading. He will not speak nonsense in matters related to his profession. It is very likely that Schiller saw some abnormal signs in Pym through mind reading, which can explain why he felt that Pym had problems as soon as he saw him.

Nick also advised: "Dr. Pym, I think I should have told you the purpose of coming here before. Before doing space operations, you must pass the test of a psychiatrist. You should know this, right?"

"I know this. Could this be a psychiatrist?" Pym just said this. He looked at Schiller's white coat, then looked at the medical record book in his hand, patted his head, and said, "Oh, okay, I will change back to my original size first."

Pym pressed his wrist, and with a "pop", a normal-sized Pym fell to the ground. He was also a smart man, so he guessed what Schiller was worried about? He asked, "Are you worried that my research results will hypnotize me?"

The two of them walked to the experimental table in Stark's laboratory together. As they walked, Pym said, "But I have just started my research. The method I mentioned is still in the theoretical stage and has not been put into practice yet."

Schiller shook his head and said, "What if your research results hypnotized you and made you believe all this?"

Pym's face suddenly changed a little, and he stammered, "It shouldn't be... I never knew that artificial intelligence could hypnotize, even I can't..."

"Don't make me question your professional ability." Stark stood next to the chair, crossed his arms and asked Pym, "What is the most powerful ability of artificial intelligence?"

"Learning." Pym answered immediately, he spread his hands and said, "But this is too ridiculous. You mean, I have created a powerful artificial intelligence, and then I was hypnotized by it?"

Pym shook his head, obviously not believing it. Schiller patted the back of the chair and said, "In special circumstances, I won't ask you for the consultation fee. Sit here and we will do a test."

"Okay, what should I do?" Pym sat down.

He seemed very cooperative, so Schiller's attitude was also very good. Schiller moved a chair and sat opposite him. Stark and Nick stood beside them, watching the conversation between the two.

At this moment, Schiller took out a bottle of wine from somewhere, and he winked at Stark, who winked at Jarvis, who controlled the robot to bring two wine glasses.

When the golden wine fell into the wine glass, tiny bubbles appeared at the bottom, and a strong wine aroma spread. The drunkard Stark sniffed hard, as if he was intoxicated by the aroma.

"Hey, where did you get such a delicious wine?" Stark sniffed and said with some dissatisfaction: "You don't even share this good stuff?! Schiller, I really misjudged you, give me a glass!"

Schiller didn't say anything, but handed the glass of wine in front of him to Stark. Stark picked it up and was about to drink it, but the wine in the glass suddenly turned into blood soaking his eyeballs. Stark's hand shook and he threw the glass out directly.

The glass drew a graceful arc in the air and fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. With the crisp sound of breaking, the scene in Stark's laboratory shattered like glass.

Instead, there was a plain-looking bedroom. After Pym recovered from his initial shock, he said, "What? Isn't this my bedroom? What's going on? What the hell did you do?!"

"

Schiller clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. He said, "Now, we are in Pym's dream, and here we can also find evidence that he was hypnotized."

Stark raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there something wrong with that wine?"

Schiller explained, "In fact, we can go to the base of the Glorious Alliance, but it's a bit troublesome. Since I'm already here, it's better to go directly into the dream, which is faster."

Schiller waved his hand, and the bedroom scene shrank sharply and turned into a small sphere, floating in his hand. Then more spheres appeared, and Pym found that they were all the places he had lived in. A scene, the bedroom of an apartment, the barn of the old farm, the laboratory on the west coast...

Schiller arranged the light balls into several rows and turned them into a wall. Before Pym could speak, Schiller said: "No, I'm not interested in prying into other people's privacy. I'm just looking for possible... Oh, here, see? This is the keyword, artificial intelligence."

Schiller pointed at the light ball, and it turned out not to be a laboratory, but a field. Pym explained: "I first had the idea of ​​studying artificial intelligence here, but that was a long time ago."

"Okay, for your privacy, can you tell me when was the last time you conducted such an experiment?"

"About half a year ago."

Schiller searched through the pile of light balls again, and Stark frowned and looked at him and said: "You are already Can you do this? Just look through other people's memories and find possible clues from them? "

"In fact, I have always been able to do it, or many psychologists can do it, but they use the kind of method you can understand, such as letting you lie on a chair, playing a piece of music, and guiding you to recall. "

"And this..." Schiller reached out, took out a light ball, and said: "It's just a more intuitive method, but the principle is the same. "

"Many people don't care about their own memories. When they can't find something in their memories, they think they have forgotten it. But many times, it's just because there is no suitable method and habit to sort out memories. Some things are recorded in the brain, but they can't be found because of more redundant information. "

"Memory has rules and can be found. Therefore, a professionally trained psychologist can help you sort out your memory. In the absence of a real physical disease, this treatment can help you keep your brain clear and improve your thinking efficiency. "

"It sounds like a liar's speech." Stark concluded: "It's the kind of drug salesman who claims to be able to improve human IQ and memory will say..."

"This can't improve IQ and memory." Schiller was still searching, and while searching, he said: "I remember I mentioned this question in the September issue last year. I heard that you are very interested in psychology recently. Didn't you read it?"

"Uh..." Stark was choked and coughed twice with some guilt, but Schiller didn't seem to be checking the homework. He just said it casually. Soon, he got another light ball and said, "Oh, here."

"See it?" Schiller pointed to the light ball and said, "It looks a little dim, and the scene inside is not very clear."

"What does this mean? "Pim came up, crossed his arms, and stared at the light ball. Schiller explained: "This means that your memory during this period is not stable enough, and it is very likely to be interfered by external forces." Schiller crushed the light ball, and several people appeared in the laboratory. Another Pim was operating in front of the computer. After a while, he suddenly stood up and then sat down again. Stark walked up and asked Pim standing aside: "What are you doing?" "I think his memory after standing up should be erased, and the memory of sitting down and continuing to operate the computer is artificially fabricated. You see, a lot of information in the computer has become unclear, and it is hard to tell what he is doing." Pim frowned, as if trying to recall, but Schiller continued: "Everything we see here is what you remember, Dr. Pim. I think, with your memory, you should be able to remember what you were doing with the computer at that time, even if it is some very complicated programming, at least you can remember it roughly. " "No, I can remember it all. "Pim frowned and said: "Every line of code is stored in my mind. "

"Then obviously, there is a problem. One second ago, you remembered everything in the computer, and the next second, the information in the computer became unclear. The only possibility is that someone modified your memory and implanted the memory that you have been working in front of the computer."

"But maybe he is not skilled and did not add any details. He only added a summary like 'Dr. Pym has been working in front of the computer.'"

"For ordinary people, this is enough. As long as you tell them during hypnosis, 'You have been working all this time and did nothing', they will believe it, because they don't remember the specific details of their work. "

"But for you, or a smart person like Tony, if you check carefully, it is easy to find loopholes, because you remember all the details of your work, and your strong memory makes it very difficult to replace memory. "

"Then can you hypnotize us?" Stark asked.

"A newly born artificial intelligence can hypnotize Pym, and he can't realize it himself. Do you think I can hypnotize you? "

"But..." Schiller changed the subject and said, "Whether hypnosis can be successful and whether it can avoid such a detailed inspection are two different things. There are many ways for people's brains to deceive themselves, and many people will not check their memories when they have nothing to do. As long as they don't check, it is difficult to find out."

Pym and Stark looked at each other, and Schiller looked at them and said, "So, today's incident reminds you to check your recent memory regularly to see if there is anything abnormal. This can prevent you from being hypnotized by all kinds of strange things."

"Next, let's return to reality and see if it is really your research results that hypnotize you. "
