Chapter 554: A Bad Story (Part 2)

In another laboratory in Stark Tower, Peter was busy at the computer on the table. Connors came over, took a look at his computer, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Peter quickly typed on the keyboard, and lines of code appeared on the screen. His concentration on work did not affect his language ability. He answered fluently:

"The enemy that Jarvis will deal with next, Ultron, should be a very powerful artificial intelligence. Mr. Stark has prepared a very complete body for Jarvis, but I think it can be safer."

"What do you want to do?" Connors walked to the laboratory table opposite and started working.

"Although it is important to improve Jarvis's physical performance, we can also think of ways to weaken his opponents. I got some information about Ultron from Dr. Pym. I'll see if I can make a virus against him."

"The idea is good, but is the virus really useful for this level of artificial intelligence?" Connors asked while working with his head down.

"Ordinary viruses are definitely useless, so I'm researching a super virus, and it's the kind that specifically targets super artificial intelligence."

"It seems that you have a good knowledge of computers. Do you want me to find someone to write a recommendation letter for you?" Dr. Connors asked with a smile.

"Ah, no, I only know a little bit, and most of it depends on the computing power provided by Jarvis." Peter stared at the screen without blinking, as if he was at a critical stage.

Connors didn't ask, but Peter said as if to organize his thoughts: "Moreover, if we can find the location of Ultron first, we will have a strategic advantage. If we can hack into his system to obtain information, the advantage will be even greater."

"I'm making a tracking system to query the traces he may have left on the Internet. By collecting these traces, we can find his path and monitor his location."

Peter's eyes reflected the light of the computer, but it was more like the light of wisdom that burst out from his inside out. Connors looked at Peter through the test tube rack on the laboratory table.

He couldn't remember when he started to see Spider-Man in his Spider suit. Instead, he often saw Peter Parker in a shirt or sweater, sitting at the table fiddling with the computer.

Now, whether it was Connors, SHIELD or the Avengers, they no longer regarded Spider-Man as a New York street hero, and most of Spider-Man's tasks were just to lead the group of mutants with symbiotes to familiarize themselves with the environment and exercise their abilities.

Steve and his team were reluctant to give Peter too dangerous tasks, not because they didn't believe in his ability or thought he was too young to do it, but out of protection for a valuable researcher.

As time passed, Peter was about to go to college, and his superhero career also shifted to a certain extent. He didn't spend most of his time wandering around New York every day. On the contrary, he took on more technical work for the Avengers.

For example, in terms of tracking information and investigating network security, Nick once praised that Peter alone could match the entire network security department of SHIELD. Steve, Matt and other core members of the Avengers also relied on him. The eavesdroppers, intercoms and monitors they used in their investigations were basically improved and manufactured by Peter.

If this brought any changes to Peter himself, it was that he realized that knowledge and technology are not just auxiliary to power. On the contrary, sometimes they are the key to determining the situation.

Therefore, when facing the battle between Jarvis and Ultron, Spider-Man did not wander around New York looking for Ultron, but stayed in the laboratory of Stark Building to create a more efficient method.

After about a few hours, Peter finally finished the program. At this time, it was dark, Connors had completed his work and left the entire laboratory, leaving only Peter here.

At this time, a small robot came to Peter's feet with a plate. Peter turned around and said in surprise: "...Oh! This is not my favorite pizza shop, right? Thank you, Jarvis, you even bought takeout for me!"

Jarvis beeped twice, the light flickered twice, and then he returned to calm.

Peter looked up with some doubts. He felt that Jarvis seemed to be very busy recently and didn't reply to him much. However, considering that he was going to deal with Ultron next, he might need some preparation, so Peter didn't think too much.

Peter bit the pizza with a big mouthful. Suddenly, the computer screen in front of him lit up, as if some program debugging was completed. Peter hurriedly threw the pizza aside, wiped his hands with a napkin, and returned to work.

The screen began to flicker, and Peter's focused eyes were brighter than the screen. Suddenly, he tapped the keyboard and said, "Found it!... Let me see, there are indeed many traces left. Is this the trajectory of his evolution?"

"His body seems to be moving all the time. Is this direction... New York? He first rushed west from Los Angeles, then turned a big corner and headed for the East Coast? His destination is New York? What does he want to do?"

Peter's expression became serious. He immediately picked up the phone and said to the other end: "Captain, I have found the movement trajectory of the artificial intelligence called Ultron. His final destination should be New York."

"I will gather other people immediately to strengthen security." Steve replied: "You continue to track. Once he enters New York, you must tell us. We must intercept him and not let him harm the people."

After Peter agreed, he called the mutants with symbiotes again and said: "We need to increase monitoring equipment urgently, especially at several intersections entering New York. Can you come over? I will give you the monitoring equipment."

Soon, several symbiotes came to the glass curtain wall of Stark Tower, and Peter shouted: "Javier Si! Open the glass... Jarvis! Are you there? ! "

This time, Jarvis took a long time to respond, but he finally opened the glass. After several symbiotes came in, they immediately asked Peter: "What's going on? Is the machine out of control?"

"It's just an artificial intelligence that's out of control. We have tracked his location and just need to stop him."

The leading Blue Spirit said seriously: "I have seen many civilizations destroyed by mechanical out of control. Some of them are more advanced than humans, but..."

Blue Spirit shook his head, looking a little sad, as if he remembered some tragedy. Green Thorn sighed and said: "Many carbon-based biological civilizations that rely on robots have been destroyed by these crises."

"Why? Don't they control the robots? ?”

“No, on the contrary, they set too many rules and regulations for the robots, and these low-level commands are not allowed to be modified.”

“The original intention of these commands is good, but the low-level logic followed by the robots will make them follow these commands rigidly and achieve the highest efficiency at the same time.”

“For example, I have seen a civilization that set the low-level command for their machine butlers to ensure the safety of their masters. But in the end, all the machine butlers rioted together, built a huge Fengchao cage, and then locked up everyone on the planet.”

“Each grid on it is completely closed, oxygen and food are supplied regularly, and there will be no external danger, because the entire planet has been It was emptied by the machine butler. "

"In this way, they did fulfill the command in the bottom-level command to ensure the safety of the master, and at the same time achieved the highest efficiency, but in the end, you should be able to imagine that this civilization was destroyed."

Peter sat on the chair, shook his head, and said: "Mr. Stark's understanding of intelligent life is different. What he needs is not a universal tool, but a partner and friend with emotions..."

Lan Ling continued: "This is very rare. Generally, civilizations create machines and intelligent butlers to improve efficiency. They just need to be easy to use and do not need personality and emotions. But obviously, humans seem to have taken another path. You are creating another real life."

"Do you think this is right?" Peter raised his head and asked.

"I don't know, humans are a magical race. You regard emotions so important, which is a good thing and a bad thing."

Several symbiotes took the box of parts from Peter. Before leaving, Jarvis "beeped" twice, as if to say goodbye to them.

At this moment, Peter's computer screen lit up again. He turned back and continued to fiddle with it. Soon, his eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "I got it! I should be able to hack into his system from here..."

The crackling sound of the keyboard was like the sound of rain coming from outside the window. The screen kept flashing, but Peter's brows were getting tighter and tighter. He said to himself: "What's going on? Why can't I hack?... Try another way."

"Huh? Why doesn't it work? It seems that I have to use my trump card!"

"What's going on??? How can he seem to predict my actions??? The defense is targeted... No, it's unlikely, try again!"

"Oh my God!" Peter looked at the screen solemnly, picked up his phone and called Stark, saying: "Mr. Stark, I think We should re-evaluate the capabilities of the artificial intelligence called Ultron..."

"Just now, I followed the trail he left on the Internet and found a way to invade his system, but I tried more than 20 ways of intrusion, all of which were cracked by him, and his cracking was very targeted, as if he had a premonition of what I would do..."

"He may be a very dangerous artificial intelligence! Extremely dangerous!" Peter emphasized his tone, repeated the word several times, and finally said: "I will send you the record just now, you will know when you read it."

As he said, he tapped the keyboard, and in Stark's laboratory upstairs, the computer screen lit up. Stark put down the phone, turned around and walked back to the table. Looking at the data on it, Stark also frowned and his face became solemn.

Just as Peter said, Ultron seemed to know what Peter would do, and all the defenses were targeted, and Peter's invasion had no effect at all.

Stark felt anxious again. He propped his elbows on the table and covered his forehead. After hesitating for a long time, he called Loki and said, "Loki, I may need your help..."

"What's wrong?" Loki picked up the phone and looked back at Frigga. Frigga smiled at her. Loki turned and walked out the door with a half-finished wreath in her hand.

"My butler may face a dangerous and tough battle next. I hope you can help me by my side. If there is any danger, you must save him. I owe you a favor." Stark seemed to be unaccustomed to speaking like this and spoke stumblingly.

"I'm being too polite, Tony." Loki smiled and said, "With our relationship, there's no need to say this. When will they start fighting? I'll go get Thor's hammer and watch from the sky. If something goes wrong, I'll strike him with thunder."

"Probably... According to Peter's tracking data, he will arrive in New York in about four hours, and then a war is inevitable..."

After hanging up the phone, as if to soothe Stark's mood, the lights in the laboratory lit up slightly, and a melodious piano piece sounded.

Stark smiled bitterly, like a parent who got a childish comfort but knew that it couldn't solve any real problems, but then Jarvis' voice came:

"Sir, I have a plan..."
