Chapter 279 Before the Crisis
Nick Fury stared at the Rubik's Cube in the center of the metal instrument. In his heart, he always regarded this small earth cube as one of the core cornerstones of S.H.I.E.L.D.

The Red Skull, the leader of Hydra during World War II, got it from a church in Norway. It is said that the Rubik's Cube is the most precious gemstone in Odin's treasure house and has incredible power.

The Red Skull Schmidt used it to develop energy weapons, which almost caused the Allies to retreat on the battlefield. If Captain America hadn't led the Roaring Commando to destroy Hydra's lair in one fell swoop, creating a chance for victory in the war, perhaps the giant wheel of history It will boom into another trajectory.

Later, Captain America Steve Rogers crashed into a glacier while driving a plane, and the Rubik's Cube was salvaged from the deep sea by Howard Stark, and was kept by the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Scientific Strategic Corps, until Nick Fury took over The director is determined to restart the research plan of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.

"See what activates the Cosmic Rubik's Cube?"

The black director was suspicious of Dr. Selvig's explanation. SHIELD had kept the cube for many years, and such a strange phenomenon had never occurred before.According to the calculation model on the computer, the Cosmic Rubik's Cube releases interference and radiation, and the value continues to rise, and will soon break through the highest peak.

In Dr. Selvig's cognition, this is not a good phenomenon, and the headache is that they can't find any effective way to turn it off for the time being, they can only observe and wait.

"No one has been in or out, the doctor is innocent."

Hawkeye Button, who stayed on a high place overlooking everything, slid down the rope. He was the guard of the experiment center and was also responsible for monitoring everyone.

Nick Fury, who has always been suspicious, couldn't just hand over the Rubik's Cube to others with confidence. He vaguely felt that there was a turbulent undercurrent hidden in S.H.I.E.L.D. The scattered ghosts of the Third Reich.

Since the defeat of World War II, Hydra fell apart, and some people moved to the prosperous Red Empire, and began to hide for a long time until the former Soviet Union collapsed.At that time, S.H.I.E.L.D., which was still the Scientific Strategy Corps, absorbed and digested the cutting-edge technology and basic strength of the Third Reich, and at the same time exposed huge flaws.

Even though the black bureau chief has been committed to the division of authority levels and strict secrecy measures since he took office, it seems that he can't get rid of the ubiquitous Nazi remnants.

"If there is a problem, it will definitely not be on our side, sir." Barton said seriously. "Dr. Selvig said that the Rubik's Cube is a door to the other side. What if this door is bidirectional?"

The words of Deli's subordinates caught Fury's attention. He just wanted to use the Rubik's Cube to absorb infinite energy to create cutting-edge technology, just like the Red Skull Schmidt did before, but he ignored the risks involved.

The black director stroked the blindfold. He would never forget the painful lesson of that secret invasion. Not only was the S.H.I.E.L.D. Bureau severely damaged, but it even lost a reliable comrade-in-arms, a brave and fearless heroine.

"Dr. Selvig, do everything possible to close the Rubik's Cube!" Fury ordered loudly, then turned to look at Hawkeye Button, "Speed ​​up the speed of evacuation, it will still be like this after four or ten minutes, ruin it!"

The black director looked at the Rubik's Cube, without the slightest hesitation in his eyes. He couldn't let Rubik's Cube attract unknown powerful enemies.Long before he was the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Fury knew that in this vast universe, there was more than one brilliant civilization on the earth, and human beings were not a unique species of life.

But before Nick Fury could react, the energy released by the Rubik's Cube broke through the peak, a burst of dazzling blue light burst out, and the entire underground base began to shake.

The vortex-like space channel expanded and opened, and strong fluctuations swept past, like water waves spreading, and a figure kneeling on one knee loomed.

…………

Stark Mansion.

Tony, who buried his head on the workbench improving "Ultra", let out a long breath, raised his hands and stretched his waist. Sitting for a long time made his body look rusty.

After adding and perfecting with Reed day and night, Tony finally designed an almost perfect artificial intelligence program framework based on the smart butler Jarvis and the Red Queen provided by Sean as a reference.

In Tony's vision, Ultron should have unparalleled computing power, connect to the online world on this planet, be able to grab data from the Internet all the time, and learn more knowledge-in simple terms, it has the ability to keep up with Human beings have the same ability to learn, not only to understand, but also to use it.

This is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough for artificial intelligence. Usually, AI can only judge with mechanical thinking, and cannot have the same real perception as humans, so there is the advent of the "Turing Test".

As early as the last century, Alan Turing, the ancestor of artificial intelligence, first proposed the concept of "machine thinking". In 1950, he published a landmark paper, "Can Computers Think?" 》, and later put forward the famous Turing experiment.

A person asks a computer a question, and another uninformed person tries to distinguish between a person and a computer from the answers.If the computer is not identified, it means that the Turing experiment has passed.

This process seems simple, but no matter how powerful the program woven by the computer is, it still lacks human comprehension, and will gradually reveal its own flaws in constant inquiry, especially for creative and real-understanding issues.

For example, "The cat sat on the blanket because it was warm - what is warm?" In this sentence, the general artificial intelligence will fall into a logic trap, because it cannot accurately identify the pronouns, and cannot associate cats, blankets, and warmth. come together.

What Stark has to do is to create an artificial intelligence that truly has the ability to think, not only to answer such basic questions, but also to form independent thinking.

Rubbing his astringent eyes, Tony leaned back in the chair, and looked at the densely packed virtual projections with eyes that appreciate art. The huge amount of information constituted a huge data flow, and gradually outlined a blurry face.

It was the most perfect creation that existed in Stark's mind.

Ultron.

He and Reed want an artificial intelligence that breaks through the complex calculation of 0 and 1, breaks through mechanical thinking, and truly thinks like humans.

Therefore, in addition to building a computing framework, these two world-class top geniuses have to weave a meticulous and complex "logic network", so that through uninterrupted data calculations, Ultron will gradually evolve self-awareness.

"You will be a shield to protect the world."

Tony whispered softly, his eyes gradually softened, as if looking at his own child.

If it had to be described in a more precise way, it would be the newborn he and Dr. Richards co-created.

Although Ultron only has a simple embryonic form, like a toddler, Tony firmly believes that it only takes a short period of time before it will gradually grow up and perform its due mission.

"Good night."

Tony waved his hand, and the countless virtual projections were canceled and dispersed, the lights in the laboratory were turned off, and only a computer in the center was still continuously calculating data.

In a dark environment, the computer's red dots flicker like blinking eyes.
