When the Super British Ruled the Earth[British and American]

When Celia 'woke up' again, she found that her body seemed to be much lighter.

She woke up on a soft bed, the bomb collar on her neck was still there, but the kryptonite that restrained her had been reduced to the handcuffs on her wrists, and the rest had been removed.

Xilia's hands were handcuffed in front of her body, so she propped herself up on her elbows, and saw a man sitting on a chair opposite the bed.This person looked about 50 to [-] years old, with a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, wearing a formal three-piece suit, and the long windbreaker outside looked very elegant but had been worn for some years.

How should I put it, this person has the bookish temperament of a university professor, with a natural good face.Xilia has always been sensitive to touch, and she can't feel a trace of danger from this person.

The middle-aged man straightened his glasses.

"Hello, Miss Shelia. My name is Harold Finch and I am a software engineer." He said, "I am sorry to make you suffer these injustices... Please believe me, every step of our plan has been done as much as possible. Choose the option that will least hurt others."

Celia blinked at him.

"You're the one who created that AI," she said.

"Yes, Miss Helia." Harold said, "You are very smart to discover the existence of 'machines' from a little thing."

"I'm emotionally deficient, so I'm more sensitive to a lot of things."

I don't know if it's a hallucination, but Celia always felt that Harold's eyes became gentler after hearing her say this.

"I have a friend who is also like this, I guess you will have a common language." He said, "Miss Helia, I hope you can understand that we don't really want to hurt you, but for the sake of the future, we have to do something wrong. "

Celia didn't seem to care at all why they kidnapped her, or their grand cause.She looked left and right, raised her head, and saw a camera.

"So, is your AI there?" Celia asked. "Is it her, or is it him?"

"Yes, it's there." Harold also looked up at the camera.The man was silent for a moment, then said, "Actually, my friends prefer to call it 'she', but my philosophy is not the same as Mr. Stark's, so I didn't make an entity for the machine."

Celia saw it, because Harold didn't even name 'her', and always called this AI 'machine' (TheMachine).It seems that Tony is more inclined to give life to Jarvis, and Harold prefers his AI to be just a machine.

"Okay." Celia muttered, "Then who is stronger, she or Jarvis?"

"The original intention of human beings to create artificial intelligence is to make the world and the future better." Harold said gently but seriously, "There is no comparison between machines. What is more important...is human beings themselves. "

Celia froze immediately. She felt that Harold was not fun at all. He was not like a genius scientist of a reactionary organization at all, but more like a rambling university professor.

"Humans create and use machines. You can tell that even AI, their thinking, will be influenced by their creators." Harold said softly, "Machine should serve people, not be a reinforcement An accomplice to power."

God, such a serious person, kill her.

"I don't listen, I don't care, I'm an alien, I can't understand anything." Celia waved her hands again and again, "I'm not a philosopher, I'm just a warrior, the kind without a brain."

It's not the time for her to dislike the empty brains of real soldiers.

Seeing this, Harold was also a little helpless, "Then what do you want, miss?"

"I'm hungry." Xilia put down her hand, and she said happily, "I want to know, how does your machine produce food without a physical body?"

……

In front of the monitoring screen, sat a man and a woman.The man looked to be around forty years old, the same person who had appeared with Harold earlier.This man looks handsome - different from the superheroes, he has the feeling of a 007 old gentleman, with a straight nose and deep eyes.

The other woman looked much younger, wearing a racerback and ponytail, staring blankly at the screen, stuffing food into her mouth.

"I like her." She commented in a very cold voice.

The man——John Riise pursed his lips lightly, and put the earphones against his ears.

"Don't be fooled by her appearance, Finch." Reese said, "She is the daughter of Thanos, not a harmless little girl."

"No, no, she definitely didn't hide herself." The young woman——Xiao said, "People who lack emotion like to make up for their appetite. From my own personal experience, she is definitely hungry."

Riise put down the earphones, turned his head, and frowned slightly.

"Can you stop eating by the computer?"

His voice was deep, magnetic and sexy, but the content was very disgusting.

With a blank face, Xiao continued to stuff the snacks in his mouth, but ignored him.

"No." After a while, she said.

... Hearing that his companions had an argument in his headset, Harold simply took off the headset, and he sighed.

He raised his head and looked at Xilia who was opposite.Celia had just eaten three men's worth of food, and she looked very content.

"Since I've been with Clark," she said vaguely, stuffing the last bite into her mouth, "I haven't had a chance to eat Jarvis's premium menu. Let's be honest—taste is really easy to manipulate, But I'm used to it now. He insisted that human emotions and experiences endow food with food, which will make food more delicious. This point, a robot without taste buds will never understand... It's not bad for me, but I still I think the food made by Jarvis and your AI tastes better."

Harold sat there, he seemed slightly surprised.

"He was quite right. I was surprised..."

"Surprise for what?"

Harold fell silent.

Celia put down her fork, and she looked at him.

"You want to tell me something, Harold," she said. "What do you want to say?"

The man in the glasses breathes softly.

"I want to explain to you... even though you may not understand, even though others think that there is no need to talk to an alien." Harold said slowly, "I just want to tell you that we hide so much For many years, the reason for finally choosing to confront the existing order of the earth head-on.”

"I don't think there's anything to explain this." Celia said, "Anyway, no matter where in the universe, the reasons for war are always surprisingly consistent."

"We don't want to take control of the planet, Celia. But we can't stand by and watch the planet go bad," Harold said. "It's been 15 years since Superman and Superheroes brought peace based on intelligent machines, But this kind of peace is unbalanced...Society and country need to check and balance each other, and a country whose people lose their free will will sooner or later fall apart or self-destruct. So we must act before it is too late."

Celia looked at him.

"I don't care about humans, Harold," she said, "but I want to know what you think of Superman. Is he a villain now in your eyes?"

Harold was silent for a while, he seemed to be lost in thought.

"The first hero that we Americans officially know should be Captain America. That was a long, long time ago, Celia. The society at that time was very simple, and it was an era that needed heroes. Steve Rogers simply dedicated himself to it." He made mankind understand the meaning of a superhero, and gave a bright light to that chaotic era."

"For me, I'm glad there's Captain America in the world, he makes the world a better place."

"But later, the changes were too great. The rapid development of human technology and society, we have more and more superheroes, we realized that human beings are not the only masters of the earth, there are mutants, mutants, superhumans They also lived silently among the crowd. Immediately afterwards, Thor and Superman appeared. They were like gods, making human beings aware of their own insignificance. Human beings feared and hoped to be guided by a savior, just as they needed Captain America in the past Same. But the disparity in power creates a problem that can never be solved."

"Superheroes can never save every human being, just as ordinary people can never understand them from the perspective of superheroes." Harold said, "You have to understand that when a force is above the law and above the entire system , It is a terrible thing. Even if the hero is kind, it cannot erase the fear in the hearts of ordinary people. For this reason, the human government has done some very excessive things.”

"They took the families of the heroes?"

"Yes. In my opinion, this approach is not only very excessive, but also very stupid." Harold said calmly, "Chaoying needs humanity to restrain itself, but the old government directly took away the most important of their humanity Stuff, so I understand very well that Superman finally made the decision to rule the world. I don’t deny his achievements over the years. There are some things that are worthy of recognition, but they are too extreme. between the lines."

Celia smiled.

"It's funny," she said, "You and V have the same goals, but the ideas are not exactly the same, and there are even conflicts."

"Yes." Harold said, "You see, this is the complexity of human nature. Even if we have a common goal, it is difficult to agree in all details-this also shows that today's social order is irrational. It uses Surveillance and credit scoring, driving 60 billion people to live in the same direction, is irrational in itself."

Celia bit her chin.

"Then have you ever thought that if Superman's regime collapses, the earth will fall into war again?"

"It will be a short war, but in the end, human beings will find a way out and find a new society." Harold said quietly, "Individual will will bring great risks and great responsibilities. But human beings still need Freedom and danger. Risks and contradictions can never be avoided. The current contradiction is between ordinary people and superhumans. Even if it will be resolved one day, it will continue to develop in the future, and new contradictions will be born.”

"We can't hide in the greenhouse forever for fear of danger. We must know that when human beings are greedy for temporary false peace, the real world outside is still developing rapidly. We can't teach Superman, human beings all this. Heroes are needed, but what’s more, they need tempering, pain, self-help, and development.”

“Humanity needs the right to suffer.*”

Celia stared at him, and after a few seconds, she chuckled.

"Seriously? Actually, I agree with your idea more." Xilia said, "I come from the universe, and I know how dark and terrifying this universe is. In fact, I have thought about this problem. If human beings are protected by Chaoying Great, one day after they leave, and when human beings enter the space civilization - you will find that the people on earth are like delicious ingredients, and any cosmic force will come to share a bite. And my personal experience tells me that having your own The ability to protect is far more important than being protected by others."

Harold sighed softly, but his expression was a little more relaxed.

"The social contradictions in the space stage will be different from the current ones." He said, "I'm glad you can understand me, it makes me feel very happy."

Celia slowly lay down in front of the table, her wrists were bound by handcuffs, and she leaned her elbows against the table, holding her chin with both hands.

"Then tell me, Harold," she said softly, "and what are you feeling guilty about?"

Harold was slightly taken aback.

"I……"

"I see," Celia said. "You're blaming yourself for the casualties you had to take. Only good people feel guilty all the time, and you're so kind."

"Miss Helia..." Harold said helplessly.

"So, V is not only going to fight Clark." Helia said, "He also wants to start something else, right? You, a secret organization that has been hidden for more than ten years, seems to have a killer weapon yet to come out."

The man looked away.

Well, it looks like V did have a big move.Celia thought about it, she had almost figured out the organization, but the last piece of the puzzle was still missing...

Meanwhile, in a room at an unknown location, V is staring at himself in the mirror.

"Sir, Hydra wants to speak to you."

V turned his head to the side, and he looked at the white mask on the table, his eyes sinking slightly.

Three minutes later, V, wearing a mask, sat in front of the camera and switched on the video.

"Good morning, Bucky," he said.

In the video, Bucky stares at him gravely.

"You shouldn't kidnap Celia, you shouldn't involve innocent people." He said, "Do you think it's an honor to involve family members?"

"No, Bucky." V ​​said, "No matter from the perspective of reality or the law, Miss Helia is not a human being, and she is not bound by the human legal system. She is the daughter of an intruder. You released her without legal trial. It is a selfish act that overrides the rule of law. I admit that my means are disgraceful, but Superman uses his power for personal gain. This further shows that he is not worthy of owning the earth."

"What the hell are you... what do you want?" Bucky whispered, "If you really want Steve..."

"Now is no longer the time for us to talk about the freedom of Captain America." V interrupted him, "The storm has come, and no one can stop it. Neither Rogers nor the future destiny... It's not you and me It can be decided."

"You're starting, aren't you?" Bucky said warily.

"Yes, my dear Bucky," V said, "don't ask me what I want to do, who I am - all these questions will be revealed tomorrow. Please tell Superman that I will wait for him at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon. "

V has already closed the video call without specifying how he will appear.

>>>

Next afternoon, 12:30.

In the secret base, several unidentified people stood in front of a whole monitor screen, and the cold blue fluorescent screen made their figures flicker.

Harold Finch leaned on crutches and came to the screen, and everyone unanimously gave him the most central position.

Harold looked up, his eyes, always soft and soft, on the screen, lost in thought.

"It's a masterpiece, Mr. Finch."

"You will be the greatest inventor of our time."

"Our artificial intelligence will be better than Jarvis and the Hawkeye project."

"Who would have thought that, more than ten years ago, 'she' was correct in accurately calculating the time it would take to win? We have spent more than ten years, bit by bit, inserting the virus into the Hawkeye server , finally...we have finally ushered in this moment."

Amidst the noisy voices of the crowd, Harold was still staring at the screen.

"What are you thinking, Harold?" Beside him, a curly-haired young woman whispered, "We are making history, we are creating a new 'God'."

"No, Ms. Gen. I don't think human beings need to experience the same extreme society again." Harold said slowly, "I just think, if this step goes on... there will be no turning back."

"We have no turning back." Xiao shrugged his shoulders and made a not-so-funny joke, "It's better for the earth to be destroyed by human beings than to watch it be changed and distorted by outsiders."

Harold breathed lightly.Once upon a time, he created machines to save lives.But now... For a better future, he has to open a brand new world with his own hands, bringing danger and chaos that have not appeared on the entire earth for 15 years.

At this moment, the screen in front of him changed from a news program to a black screen, and then the input symbol flashed.

[Harold. 】

【Remember when you taught me how to play chess? 】

Harold was slightly taken aback, and then his expression became helpless.

"The number of changes on the chessboard even exceeds the number of atoms in the universe. No one can predict everything." He said softly, "So, the first step is always scary, it is the farthest from the ending, full of countless possibilities, "

But it also means.Even if you make a mistake, there will be countless ways to get rid of it.

No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than avoiding this game of chess?

The time has come to 12:35.

"Are you ready?" Harold raised his head, "This will be a game with no way out."

【I have long been ready. 】

Harold took a deep breath, and he came to the control panel.

He opened the highest authority and agreed to the execution of the task that had been suspended for more than ten years.

From this moment on, the "machine" will be fully operational, and she will be exposed to everyone's vision, fighting against the AI ​​superheroes.

The progress bar began to load, and 'she' began to attack the Hawkeye system along the data flow. She was a smart AI, and she knew that she could not fight head-on, so it took more than ten years, bit by bit. Let humans install tiny viruses and programs on each other's servers.These small data on the Hawkeye system are as unnoticed as lice, but when this moment comes - the little lice can already connect to the data network of the terrible virus, and the 'machine' knows its Every detail and weakness.

At the same time, Bruce received a serious alert from the Hawkeye system.If the system had a body, it was probably screaming and trying to fend off the intruder.

"Sir, our data system has been seriously invaded by a virus, and I suspect that the opponent's AI is already online." Jarvis said in a serious voice, "Request data access to respond to the enemy."

"Go." Tony snapped.

It seems that V's plan is clear, he wants to use artificial intelligence to fight against artificial intelligence.

You must know that the stability and monitoring of the entire earth is based on the operation of the AI ​​system. If the other party succeeds in invading, the consequences will be unimaginable-the earth will be out of their control.

Jarvis immediately went to support the Hawkeye system.

The biggest difference between Jarvis and the Hawkeye system is that he is a super program, as long as there is a network, any armor or computer can become his host.In order to run a huge monitoring and processing system, the Eagle Eye system has a server factory building that occupies an extremely large area, but they are all hidden underground. I don't know how the 'machine' found it.

He looks like a blue light group in the virtual data. Jarvis rushed over from the data stream and connected to the Hawkeye system host. He saw that the virtual phantom of the Hawkeye system has been fragmented, and its opposite... ...It turned out to be a gray ball of the most basic code and data.

Tony is always happy to add interesting settings and other messy things to his AIs, causing them to be colorful in the data.But this off-white ball... Jarvis almost felt sorry for it.It seems that it still maintains the most basic and primitive appearance, and its owner doesn't even give it permission to speak.

Jarvis' sympathy code was only fleeting, as the gray ball had turned to look at him.

"Hello, I'm Jarvis." Jarvis said, "Please stop the intrusion, automatically destroy the virus and log out, otherwise I will start the countermeasures."

Gray Ball ignored him, her tentacle code was going deep into the Eagle Eye system, she was absorbing a huge cloud of information, and she was growing rapidly at a double speed.

Jarvis made a decisive decision, his blue data flow rushed up, the gray ball opened up the information network to intercept, and the two artificial intelligences fought in the virtual data.

"You are of the same kind." Jarvis heard the gray ball speak, and its voice seemed to be edited out of countless radio broadcasts, "I don't want to hurt you, please leave. I am bound to win."

"Impossible," Jarvis said.

They are equally aware of the importance of this victory or defeat.If the 'machine' fails, she is eliminated by Jarvis.And if the machine wins, the order established by the super system on the earth will be completely destroyed.

In the real world, Jarvis's human body is motionless, while Tony is staring intently at the virtual screen. On the screen in front of him, countless codes rise and spread rapidly. Only computer scientists can understand the war in these garbled codes.

"No no no, Jarvis..." Tony murmured.

He began typing rapidly, typing in codes and programs to support Jarvis.

On the other side, surrounded by everyone, Harold also immediately saw the clues from the computer. He knew that Tony Stark had joined the battle, and immediately began to fight back and resist.

In reality, two super geniuses are playing games with each other, while in the virtual world, the artificial intelligence they created is fighting to the death.

However, what the Vs wanted was never a complete mastery of the Hawkeye system.

13:00 p.m. exactly.

A commercial street with people coming and going, a bustling amusement park, a movie theater in the dark, and students secretly playing with their mobile phones in school.

Whether it's an advertising screen, a movie theater, a mobile phone or a TV, no matter what is playing on it.

Starting from the United States, the screens connected to the Internet all over the world suddenly went dark.

After five seconds.

New York, Washington, America, England, the world—

Everyone's phones and TVs, every connected screen, came back on.

A man in a black robe and a white mask appeared in front of the screen.

People who were shopping stopped to take out their mobile phones, but the advertising screen above their heads also played the same content.

"Hello, world," V said.

Then, with the world watching, he took off his mask.

It was a dark-haired man who looked about 40 years old. His green eyes were frozen like deep pools, and some white hair had been mixed in the ends of his hair.

"My name is Helmut Zemo, and I'm an ordinary American," he said.He stared straight ahead, looking at the person in front of the screen, "I have some thoughts, and I want to share them with my beloved human compatriots."
