Chapter 1314: The Dilemma of Intelligent Machines Trust and Doubt
Tony and Big Brother reached a consensus, and in such a situation, the directors of the Heavenly Hammer Bureau naturally had no room to refuse. After all, they are just representatives of the three major powers placed in the Sky Hammer Bureau, and when the boss behind them decides something, the only thing they can do is to follow orders.
Mobilizing resources, mobilizing elite troops, and completing all the preliminary preparations as quickly as possible, this is what they can do. And for their actions, Tony is actually very relieved. Because he knew that Coulson was a trustworthy person, he was relieved and bold to leave everything to him. After all, he had more important things to deal with in this matter.
Mobilizing smart machines is not an easy problem to solve. It can be said that during this time, he has become a little anxious because of the intelligent machine.
I don't know which country's media is such a bastard that actually announced the killing of smart machines in India. And when such news came back to the United States, it immediately attracted a wild bombardment of public opinion. The inferiority of human beings makes it difficult for them to trust those who are not of our race very easily. This can be seen in the long-standing racial discrimination and oppression of mutants. Compared with other flesh-and-blood races, intelligent machines, which are completely different from human beings, are naturally more likely to arouse human disgust.
If before, because of the help of intelligent machines to social security, human beings have begun to gradually accept their existence, then now, the exposure of this news has completely ruined the efforts of intelligent machines. Although the government has made an explanation, saying that the problem of the smart machine is due to the development of a technological weapon that disrupts the smart machine, it can be avoided by waiting for the smart machine to upgrade accordingly. But the vast majority of ordinary people are still reluctant to buy it.
It was too scary for them to have such a potentially dangerous target nearby. Even if these machines have improved their lives and brought many beneficial changes to their lives, it is not enough to justify their trust in them. Because for the vast majority of people, a smart machine is just a tool. And for a tool, they really don't need to invest any emotion. It's normal to leave him behind when it's useful and sweep him into the garbage heap when he's not.
Of course, for Tony, who is a force to promote the intelligent machine, and who has almost regarded him as his own political achievement, this sentiment of the people is very undesirable. This is a waste of his hard work, and it is likely to bring back the poor state of public order that has begun to gradually improve. This is an unacceptable result for him, so he has been under pressure to forcibly keep the entire American intellectual machinery system.
But his behavior is a huge affront to the American people, who have always been democratic. Although they are no longer able to use all kinds of means to threaten Stark's authoritarian government as they normally do, this does not prevent them from secretly acting against the Intelligence.
Extreme acts of sabotage and violence have almost repeatedly happened to the intellectuals. People are treating the sapient machines that once guarded their safety in almost every cruel way they can imagine. Attack with firearms, ram them with cars, and even drag them to the furnace by dragging them. Because of this basic principle of protecting humanity, even if the sapient machines have the power to crush humanity, it will be difficult for them to resist the humans who are hurting them. As a result, human behavior has become more and more unscrupulous, and the rate of intellectual equipment damage in the United States is also increasing in an exaggerated curve.
And even so, Tony insisted on keeping his sapient. He believed that time would dilute this irrational behavior, and that his people would one day realize that the existence of intelligence machines for them was not as terrible as they thought. And when the time comes, they will admit their mistakes and re-accept the existence of the sapient machines.
It's a naïve idea, so naïve that until now, Tony didn't see the slightest possibility of such a hope coming true. Originally, he wanted to hold on for a while and see if things could turn around. But now, because of that plan, he had to change his mind.
Because it was a secret operation, it was impossible for him to start the factory to continue to produce more intelligent machines. And because it was a secret operation, it was impossible for him to inform other countries that he had brought in the smart machines that had been thrown into the warehouse for scrap from them. If he wants to do it, he can only draw it from these intelligent machines in his own country. Because the United States is the country with the most dense distribution of intelligent machinery, if you want others not to notice, this is the only way to do it.
It's just that he obviously did this to cause a lot of consequences that went against his intentions. For example, to send the wrong signal to the people that they have compromised on the issue of intelligent machinery. In other words, let others think that even he has lost confidence in intelligent machines.
Either way, it could have a huge negative impact on him. And this will put the Stark government, which is already nervously planning to deal with the consortium, into a huge disadvantage.
Tony didn't have a choice, though. He knew very well what a terrible outcome it would be if Hydra was allowed to develop. It can be said that the whole world, including the current United States, will have a huge shock because of the expansion of Hydra's power. And compared to that situation, he would prefer to endure some more local labor pain at this time. At the very least, it would prevent him from falling into even greater trouble and pain in the future.
It was his choice, and it wasn't easy to make, because he had to convince not only himself, but also Ultron, the de facto master of the machine. It can be said that the hardest hit in the entire intellectual machinery turmoil is Ultron.
The presence of the Wisdom Machine is very important to Ultron, if you want to find a metaphor to describe the relationship between them. Then the intelligent machine is like the worker bee in a bee colony, and Ultron is the core peak mother in the whole hive. For Ultron, the machine is his tentacles, a tool for him to spread his will and action all over the world. And under the premise that the whole world is clearing out intelligent machines, the space that Ultron can move is naturally greatly squeezed.
In this case, the United States can be said to be a piece of Ultron's own land. With Tony's escort, he can ensure his freedom of movement on American soil anyway. But once Tony extracted most of his intelligence into India, it would be equivalent to cutting off his last piece of land, which was naturally a situation he was unwilling to accept. So when Tony explained this to him, he immediately objected.
"I don't understand, Your Excellency. Why would you do this? If you give me the right to do so, I can quickly mobilize the productive forces to produce the quantities that meet your needs, and we don't need to mobilize these American intelligence machines at all. This will weaken my grip on the domestic affairs of the United States, and it will also weaken your power within the United States. Such a stupid choice, I really can't think of any reason to do it! ”
"The reason is simple, because I have to guarantee that this operation is secret. And I don't want to touch the nerves of other countries. ”
His face was serious, and Tony was also uplifting when he spoke.
"The whole world is now rejecting the existence of the Intelligence, even though we know that it is a Hydra ploy against you. But you have to admit that this ploy is very useful. When the intelligent machine is caught in this situation of not being trusted, there is actually very little we can do. In such a situation, I can't increase the production of smart machines with great fanfare. You should know how many pairs of eyes are watching us. Once we do something that goes against the tone of public opinion around the world at this time, then what should those people think of me, and what should they think of intelligent machines? I don't think you want the machine to be the protagonist of a new conspiracy theory, a basis for my political enemies to discredit me for dictatorship. ”
As a community of interests, this is a matter of course. Ultron, who couldn't think of how to solve this problem, could only choose to accept this statement after a moment of silent thought. Of course, Tony also promised him that he would definitely not give up such an important tool as the intelligence machine. At some point in the future, he will definitely have to bring the intelligence machine back. And it was this assurance that gave Ultron the confidence to choose to accept Tony's approach.
Convince Ultron, and the rest will be much easier. It is nothing more than an upgrade of intelligent machinery. And such a thing doesn't need Tony to do it himself, with Ultron here, it is not a problem to complete the upgrade task against the Hydra means at all.
Originally, those smart machines on duty in various countries belonged to the old type of machines, and taking this opportunity to upgrade them could not only guard against the attack methods of the Hydra, but also ensure that the role of the smart machines during the mission in India became even greater, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
Tony could theoretically leave this matter alone and leave it entirely to Ultron. But instead of doing so, he took it upon himself to join the upgrade program. And the reason why he did it was because he didn't trust Ultron himself as much as Coulson.
It's funny to say that Coulson betrayed him, but he trusted Coulson. And for Ultron, who can be fully believed, he can't fully believe it. This is the root of the human nature that remains in his body. He knew that, but he didn't want to change it. Because in his heart, he was still a human being.
It's something that's supposed to be done by humans, isn't it!
