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 a virus 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 leave 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.

So, 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 the pizza shop I like most, 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 about it.

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 flash continuously. Peter's focused eyes were brighter than the screen. Suddenly, he tapped the keyboard and said, "Found it!... Let me see. It really left a lot of traces. 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 call other people immediately to strengthen security." Steve replied: "Continue to track him. 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 symbionts again and said: "We need to urgently increase surveillance equipment, especially at the intersections entering New York. Can you please come over? I will put the surveillance equipment The equipment is handed over to you.”

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

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

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

Lan Ling, the leader, said with a serious face: "I have seen many civilizations that were destroyed due to out-of-control machinery. Some of them are more advanced than humans, but..."

Lan Ling shook his head, looking a little sad, as if he was remembering 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 robots?"

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

"The intentions of these commands are good, but the underlying logic followed by the robots makes them rigidly follow these commands while achieving maximum efficiency."

"For example, I once saw a civilization. The bottom-level order they set for their machine butlers was to ensure the safety of their masters. But in the end, all the machine butlers rioted together and built a huge nest cage. , and then imprisoned everyone on the entire planet.”

"Every grid above is completely enclosed, oxygen and food will be supplied regularly, and there will be no external dangers, because the entire planet has been emptied by the machine steward."

"In this way, they did fulfill the bottom-level order to ensure the safety of the master, and at the same time achieved the highest efficiency, but in the end, as you can imagine, 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 feelings..."

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

"Do you think this is right?" Peter looked up and asked.

"I don't know. Humans are a magical race. You regard emotions as so important. This is both a good thing and a bad thing."

Several symbiotes took the box containing the parts from Peter's hand. Before leaving, Jarvis made two "didi" sounds, seemingly saying 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 caught it! I should be able to hack into his system along here..."

The crackling sound of the keyboard was like the sound of rain outside the window, and the screen kept flashing, but Peter's brows furrowed more and more tightly. He said to himself: "What's going on? Why can't I invade?... Try another method. try."

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

"What's going on??? Why does he seem to be able to predict my actions??? The defenses are all targeted... No, it's not possible, 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 tail he left on the network and found the path to invade his system. However, I tried more than 20 intrusion methods, and he cracked them all. Moreover, his cracking was very targeted. It’s like I 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, and you will know after reading it."

As he spoke, he typed on 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 wrinkled. He frowned and his expression became solemn.

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

Stark felt himself becoming anxious again. He put his elbows on the table and covered his forehead. After hesitating for a long time, he called Luo Ji and said, "Luo Ji, I may need your help..."< huo.

"What's wrong?" Luo Ji picked up the phone and looked back at Frigga. Frigga smiled at her. Luo Ji turned around and walked out of the door, still holding half of the unfinished garland 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 very unaccustomed to speaking like this, and he spoke haltingly.

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

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

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

Stark smiled bitterly, like a parent who received a child's childish comfort but knew that this could not solve any real problems, but then Jarvis' voice came:

"Sir, I have a plan..."
