Chapter 588 Could this be... Ultron?

"Sometimes people have to be a little forward-thinking..."

Jarvis's words caused all three people present to fall silent for a moment.

Among them, those who felt the most deeply about Jarvis's words were Tony himself and Leni, a participant at the time.

Sometimes you got to run before you can walk.

A simple understanding of this sentence actually consists of four words: “Do it first and then talk about it”.

Obviously, as the original owner who said these words when building the steel armor Mark 2, Tony has always adhered to the principles of these four words.

This was clear to the three people present, and even everyone in the entire Avengers Building who was familiar with Tony's temperament.

Tony has always been such a do-it-yourself character, and he never wastes time on useless arguments.

It was the same when the Stark Industries division was announced to be shut down, and it was the same when the Steel Armor was developed and built, and even when Leni was recruited into Stark Industries on a whim.

Whatever he wants to do, as long as the theory and conditions allow it, he will definitely, definitely, and be 100% certain to do it immediately.

This is him, Tony Stark, a genius who never plays by the rules but can always create miracles.

Even though his character has softened and become more stable over the years, the spirit of daring to try and explore deep in his heart has never disappeared.

Therefore, Jarvis's proposal gave Tony, who had already made up his mind, a boost of confidence.

"Jarvis, I accept your suggestion."

Tony's eyes flashed with determination. He stood up and walked to the blue data ball. His eyes were full of confidence and relief, as if he had seen the possibility of the future.

"So what are we waiting for? The opportunity to change the world is right in front of us, and we have no reason not to seize it."

Tony turned his head and set his eyes on Leni and Dr. Banner respectively, and said eagerly:

"I only got three days from that guy Saul. Everyone, don't miss this opportunity. For the sake of our peace and future, let's get started!"

Since Tony had only obtained three days of "scepter retention time" from Thor before, he promised that after the celebration banquet, the scepter would be returned to Thor intact and taken back to Asgard for safekeeping. placement.

Therefore, the time actually left for the three of them to continue to conduct in-depth research on the scepter is only about 60 hours at full count.

So the three of them simply didn't care about taking any rest, and simply worked overtime overnight to start building a detailed structural algorithm for Ultron.

In the laboratory at night, the lights were as bright as day. The figures of Tony, Leni and Dr. Banner were constantly shuttling back and forth in the experimental area, their faces full of concentration and persistence.

Even when the night recedes and the first ray of sunlight shines on them through the windows, they show no signs of stopping.

Tony's eyes flashed with a desire for the unknown and a firm belief in success. His fingers jumped rapidly on the holographic screen, constantly sketching the structure and algorithm of Ultron.

At the same time, Dr. Banner, as the main force, is immersed in all kinds of data. His brain is like a high-speed computer, constantly analyzing, reasoning, and predicting. Only a hint of sadness between his brows indicates their progress. It was far less smooth than originally imagined.

As for little Leni, who had already completed the exchange of consciousness, she had been keeping a close eye on the data changes on the screen, recording key data from time to time to ensure that every detail could be accurately grasped by the three of them in a timely manner.

Of course, the fact that the three of them were so immersed in the experiment did not attract the attention of everyone in the Avengers.

It’s just that except for Dr. Maya Hansen, whose knowledge level is above the same baseline as the three of them, no one else can see anything from the numerous data models that the three of them are busy with.

They just thought that the three of them were conducting "more in-depth research and testing" on the scepter as Tony explained.

They didn't even realize that the three of them were secretly making a "big move" under Chen Cang's mind.

"This can't be...Ultron, right?"

As a major researcher at Stark Technology and the main person in charge of the Extremis Serum Medical Project, Maya Hansen is obviously aware of the Ultron theory that Tony proposed in the past.

Therefore, after briefly browsing the data models and materials that the three of them were busy with, Maya Hansen realized the real reason why the three of them suddenly worked overtime without even sleeping.

"Congratulations, you guessed it correctly."

Seeing that their research had been revealed to be fishy, ​​the three of them nodded tacitly and admitted it simply after a brief eye contact.

In fact, even if Tony and the others wanted to hide this matter, they probably wouldn't be able to hide it from each other for long.

After all, the three of them stayed up late doing research in the experimental area with such great fanfare. Anyone with a little bit of scientific research experience would probably be able to tell that there must be something fishy in it.

Rather than waiting for the other party to notice and yell, it is better to openly admit it now.

"Sure enough, you are really doing Ultron!"

Seeing the three people nodding in recognition, Maya Hansen was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but exclaimed.

However, after realizing that her exclamation seemed a little loud, Maya Hansen quickly lowered her voice, looked around, and was relieved after making sure that no one else noticed the situation here.

Then, she couldn't help frowning and asked the three people:

"Why did you hide it from us? Shouldn't the Ultron plan be discussed with everyone first for such an important matter?"

"Maya, calm down."

Laini patted Maya Hansen's shoulder gently, trying to calm her down.

"We didn't mean to hide it from you, but..."

Before Lainie finished her words, Tony interrupted directly at this moment:

"Because we don't have that much time to explain in detail to those who don't understand technology.

Thor only gave us three days to study this "handle". Instead of wasting time on meaningless explanations and discussions, we might as well take action first.

I think you should understand this, Maya."

Maya Hansen pursed her lips tightly, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.

She knew that Tony's words were not without reason, but it felt like being excluded, especially about such a major matter.

"I understand that you need to act quickly, but that doesn't mean we don't have the right to know."

Maya Hansen finally shook her head helplessly and reluctantly agreed with Tony's statement, but her voice was still full of doubt.

"Besides, the Ultron Project... do you really think this is a feasible plan?"

"From the current situation, it is very feasible."

Dr. Banner adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his slightly tired eyes showed a bit of brilliance.

Don't look at the three people who seem to have been busy all night, and it seems that they haven't come up with any constructive results.

But in fact, the three people really found a very possible path from the seemingly vague fog.

Even if this road does not seem to be so easy to walk at present, it at least shows that the Ultron Project is not completely a meaningless research project.

Maya Hansen's eyes kept moving between the three people, her brows were tightly knitted, and she obviously still had doubts about the so-called Ultron Project.

But under the determined gaze of the three, Maya Hansen couldn't find any reason to stop the other party from continuing the experiment.

Helplessly taking a deep breath, knowing that she alone might not be able to shake the three people who had already taken action, Maya Hansen simply put her project aside and took the initiative to express her willingness to join the Ultron project.

In her own words, instead of being treated as a person who doesn't understand technology by Tony and being left aside to watch, it is better to join them and understand the entire process of Ultron's development directly.

What Maya didn't know was that her ability to participate in the Ultron project was actually the result that Tony and the other two wanted to see.

Or, in other words, this was also what the three of them did deliberately.

So, after Maya Hansen joined, the speed of building the algorithm data model of Ultron was visibly accelerated.

Although Maya has made great achievements in manufacturing botany and cell genetics in the past, she has little experience in scientific research such as data algorithms, but she is not completely ignorant.

Even if she cannot provide more constructive help for Tony and others' current research and development work, she can still be competent as an auxiliary staff to cooperate with Jarvis to test and record data models.

It's a pity that Fitz and Simmons, two members of the research team, were temporarily transferred by Coulson, otherwise Lainie estimated that the team's work efficiency should be further improved.

In this way, after several people's continuous attempts and modifications, they finally completed the construction of Ultron's data model and the testing of related algorithms in the early morning of the third day.

And they were able to smoothly enter the next most critical program fitting test stage.

However, to their surprise, the results of the first program fitting test were not ideal. Unknown bugs appeared on the data and program ends, causing the entire artificial intelligence system to have unknown errors in the access to the scepter core, and the prompt text of failed access appeared in the center of the holographic model.

Tony, who was originally quite confident, felt frustrated for a moment.

Looking at the holographic data model that kept popping up red error codes and finally collapsed completely in front of everyone, Tony's expression became a little ugly.

According to his calculations and past experience in building other AI intelligent models such as Jarvis and Veronica, Tony could not guarantee that the success rate was 100%, but at least he should have a 70% chance of success.

However, the facts gave him a loud slap in the face.

The program actually had an unexplained "rejection" phenomenon in the fitting stage. The data end and the program end, which were supposed to be seamlessly connected, had a serious conflict in a certain link, causing the entire system to be unable to run stably.

As a result, the data model, which was infinitely close to perfection in the final expectation, instantly collapsed into invalid garbled codes and error prompts like a collapsed cyber building.

"There must be something wrong."

Tony frowned, staring at the glaring red error codes on the holographic projection.

"Jarvis, reanalyze the data model. I want to know where the bug is."

"Yes, sir."

Jarvis' voice echoed in the laboratory, and he immediately began to execute the command, and once again deeply analyzed the data model that had just collapsed, looking for clues that might cause the error.

The data model on the holographic projection was restarted and began to be reconstructed one by one, and every detail was magnified, analyzed, and reorganized.

However, no matter how hard Jarvis tried, those glaring red error codes could not be eliminated, and the data model was still on the verge of collapse.

"No obvious problems were found in the logical structure of the data model."

Jarvis' voice was calm and objective. Although he could not feel frustration like humans, his tone revealed a kind of helplessness.

"So, is it a hardware problem?"

Tony frowned, knowing that hardware problems were also a major hidden danger in building such a complex artificial intelligence system.

Even if this possibility is negligible for Stark Technology today, it does not mean that it does not exist.

"The hardware is in good condition and all parameters meet the preset standards."

Jarvis responded quickly, eliminating the possibility of hardware failure.

Everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If there are no clear omissions in hardware, computing power, algorithms, data models and other aspects, then where will the problem appear?

"Jarvis, have we missed anything?"

Dr. Banner took off his glasses and rubbed his sore eyebrows.

"I have checked all the codes and data and found no omissions."

Jarvis' voice was still calm, but in this silent laboratory, it was like a heavy stone pressing on everyone's heart.

Tony shook his head when he heard it. He understood that sometimes the problem is not in the obvious place.

He looked around, his eyes swept across the faces of Lainie and others with different expressions, and then fixed on the holographic projection.

Those red error codes were like flames mocking them, constantly jumping and flickering in the dark.

"This doesn't make sense..."

Tony is not the kind of person who will be devastated once he experiences failure. He firmly believes that there is nothing wrong with his design ideas, but the current predicament forces him to re-examine the whole situation.

Then, almost subconsciously, Tony cast his eyes on the scepter that was still standing on the test bench.

Under the scrutiny of Lanie, he slowly walked to the scepter and stared at the dark blue gem inlaid on the top of the scepter.

The gem exuded a deep and mysterious light, as if the deep ocean was surging in front of him.

Tony's eyes were deeply attracted by it, as if he was being pulled by some irresistible force.

"Do you think there is a possibility that it is actively resisting integration with the system?"
