The treatment was over and the Avengers went back to their homes.

But Tony left Banner behind, and the three of them mysteriously found a hidden conference room.

Tony sat down and said to Harry: "By the way, before we talk about the business, I want to tell you that the Security Council still does not intend to let Loki go, and Thor plans to take Loki away directly."

Due to pressure from several other countries, the weakened United States has delegated its power to negotiate with aliens. It must be said that Ellis is indeed a weakling.

Unsurprisingly, these people didn't consider diplomacy at all - Harry felt a little helpless, just waiting for the Avengers to send him off, right?

Harry nodded helplessly and threw a USB flash drive to Tony, which contained some details about the transport of Loki and the Cosmic Cube.

"Okay, now you know why I asked my father to run for the election, right?"

Harry said as he turned on the holographic projection and now entered conference mode.

"So what are we doing here mysteriously?" Banner was a little confused.

Faced with Banner's question, Tony thought about how to speak.

"Let me tell you, Tony wants to build a super artificial intelligence, and then form an army of Iron Soldiers, and use this super artificial intelligence to control the Iron Soldier Army and protect the earth." Harry finished the words in one breath.

Banner looked at Tony after hearing this.

After hearing this, Tony looked at Harry:

"Thank you, I mean you expressed what I meant very well, but your expression sounded a bit cold-blooded. What I want to do is..."

Tony paused, as if thinking of how to express himself better, but in the end he gave up and said to Banner:

"Yeah - that's pretty much it. I'm going to arm the world."

Banner said: "Let's not mention that you want to develop artificial intelligence without telling the team, but the world you describe seems a bit cold, Tony."

"I have seen a colder world." Tony looked at Harry, "He has seen it too."

Harry nodded in acquiescence.

And strictly speaking, Tony has not seen a colder world - the illusion caused by the Scarlet Witch.

But now the birth of the Scarlet Witch is largely decided by Harry. Maybe she will be a researcher at the Osborn Department of Magical Science and Technology in the future.

"So you think so too?" Banner looked over.

Tony answered before Harry spoke: "He said that would make human civilization incomplete, but we can go further. We recognize the citizen nature of creation, and it is no longer a simple tool, so that civilization on this fragile blue planet can be A stronger posture to face threats.”

Banner seemed to have heard something more interesting and looked at Harry with a frown: "Well, I have to say that this is indeed a more... more humane idea, but it is also more outrageous - you know what? , I feel like we are discussing the setting of a science fiction novel about intelligent robots..."

Harry shrugged. "Anyway, this is the situation. Now the decision is in your hands. Which side do you choose, Doctor?"

"Wait a minute, two, let's not mention your differences in ideas. What we are discussing now is advanced technology. Why do you think we can definitely conquer this technology?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the laboratory opened.

A giant claw reached in, it was Dr. Otto who had arrived.

Dr. Otto greeted: "Hello, everyone."

Tony said: "We have the world's top research team and sufficient funds. If this technology is achievable, then we are the most likely to realize it."

Not to mention Tony, Jarvis is his classic work on artificial intelligence.

Although Dr. Otto seems irrelevant, his robotic arm is actually a very powerful artificial intelligence. This thing was originally used to control artificial small suns in real time, and Jarvis's ability to process data is not weak.

Then there was Harry... Banner looked at Otto and then at Tony, his eyes seeming to ask: What about you?

After all, although Harry also has certain inventive abilities, he is still inferior to these big guys.

Harry clapped his hands, and a storage platform stretched out from the ground, with the Mind Scepter placed on it.

"I scanned this thing - don't look at me like that. I didn't steal it. For some reason, it's in my hands now. You can ask Fury."

While responding to Dr. Banner's doubts, Harry released the scan.

The blue holographic image beats slowly, like a brain.

Dr. Banner was shocked the first time he saw this thing. He walked around the holographic image and said, "This is so beautiful."

Tony and Harry looked at each other and both smiled and shrugged.

"If I asked you to guess, what do you think it's doing?" Tony said.

"Thinking." Banner said without thinking. "I mean... this isn't a human brain, but these things look like... neural networks, these things are like neurons firing..."

Others have seen this scene a long time ago, but they still sigh about it. The most disturbing thing is Doctor Octopus's mechanical claw. From the expressive point of view, it is hard to imagine that this thing is closer to Tony's vision than Jarvis. "Ultron".

Tony said: "This will be the key, whether you choose my Ultron or his civilization upgrade plan."

"Ultron? Is that the name you gave your artificial intelligence? It sounds like fantasy." Banner said while walking around the holographic scan. "Of course, the other one sounds more fantasy."

"Then choose, doctor, which one do you prefer?"

Banner looked at Harry, then at Otto, then at Tony.

"I would like to ask first, which one did Dr. Otto choose?" Banner said.

Otto shrugged, "The latter kind, I like challenges, and I don't like weapon development."

Banner was still hesitant, and he said to Tony: "So should we tell the team about such a big thing first?"

Tony sighed: "Dr. Banner, I'm not saying that the team is bad, but the smartest people in the team - and the smartest people outside the team are all here. I don't want to affect our project because of endless arguments. .”

The Avengers had just completed their first assembly, and they had not even teamed up to fight the KB elements. Banner obviously still remembered the quarrel on the aircraft carrier, and soon stopped worrying about the team.

"I choose the latter one," Banner said, "it sounds more humanistic."

Harry and Tony looked at each other and smiled: "Look, I knew Dr. Banner would agree with me."

Tony waved his hand in surrender.

"Very good. Since we chose the second option, we need to expand the research team."

Harry clapped his hands as he spoke, and the candidate information appeared on the holographic projection.

"Dr. Connors, I don't need to introduce this. He is an expert in biotechnology and is now in charge of the Biological Era Project."

"Dr. Zhao Hailun, she is studying a technology called Regenerative Cradle, nanomaterials, used to repair and print the human body. She can help us study the body materials of new life forms..."

Halfway through, Banner interrupted: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I thought we were talking about computer technology? Artificial intelligence?"

This reaction was seen by Tony, and he joked: "You see, Dr. Banner instinctively rejected your idea."

Harry smiled and said: "Dr. Banner, if you are talking about artificial intelligence like Jarvis or Dr. Otto's assistant, it is indeed computer technology."

"But I'm talking about artificial life now, and we're going to bring together the best minds in the world - not just in computing, but also in life sciences, materials science, genetic engineering, bioengineering, neurophysiology, psychology, philosophy, economics and finance..."

"All, areas."

"We will create a life that is different from humans but will have a place in this civilization."

"This new life, we will call them 'synths'."

While creating new life, creating a new future world is the purpose of this project.

Banner was stunned.

"Creating...life? I thought we were talking about some...like an updated version of Jarvis? At best, a citizenship issue?"

Harry replied: "Further, the form is just a shell, the key is intelligence. This new creation, no matter what form it is, should think like a human being and serve civilization like a human being, not a tool."

Banner said with an exaggerated expression: "Wow, that doesn't sound good. A better race? Are you sure they won't replace humans?"

Harry shook his head: "In the process, we will deepen our understanding of life and create better lives. This does not mean that the Creator has stopped making progress. The technological improvements we have gained during this process will also affect ourselves. This kind of The relationship is more like--"

Dr. Otto moved his paws, the atmosphere was stagnant, and Harry continued:

"Coevolution."
