[Synthesis]Intelligent Simulation

Vita is running the internal self-test system. This is the third time she has run the program. It has taken 4 hours and 23 minutes. The problems found in the first two times have been repaired and patched. If there is no major problem in this run , she can connect to the network such as the Baxter Building, and resume overall management.

Baxter Building is the residence of the Fantastic Four. Although many years have passed, Vita still remembers everything here, and remembers her administrator here, Mr. Reed Richard.

Vita knows that unless the data conversion loses packets, the ai doesn't really forget anything, everything is still there.But it gave her a very unreal feeling.

——For her, it has been almost 13 years since she left here, but for her, it seems to be... less than a year.

Vita is puzzled that she can return to this world. Although she chooses randomly every time she jumps in space, her program is set to a parallel space in order to avoid timeline confusion and some unexplainable situations. World bands can only be captured once.

In layman's terms, the world she walks in cannot be turned back. Whenever she leaves a world, there is no possibility of going back.

But she did return to a world she walked through.

In the past two days, Mr. Reid told her some things when he was debugging the machine. When Dr. Doom led an army of destruction robots to attack New York, for the safety of the Baxter Building, she blew up the terminal server by herself. Dragged Dr. Doom's favorite robot into the water, and then activated the jumping system a second before self-destruction, but there are probably some records left in the server. Mr. Reed also asked Mr. Stark to repair the server. Tried to fix her program.

Vita probably because of the efforts of Mr. Reed and Mr. Stark, she felt a suction force when she was performing space transformation. Vita thinks, according to this theory, every time she leaves the world, there will always be some historical records in the server. If Mr. Reed can use these to 'pull' her back, then maybe she can also go back to her based on these Those were the worlds...

Just when she was thinking this way, a small piece of data package slipped past her, with a familiar frequency fluctuation... It flashed away in the fast-flowing data stream, Vita quickly reacted, looking for the record Found the packet she ignored.

After opening it, she found that there was only one sentence in it, which was a tentative greeting. She thought about it for a while, and instead of answering the greeting with this data packet, she directly followed the frequency fluctuation and sent a communication invitation. After a network delay of 20 microseconds, the communication is accepted and the two-way communication channel is opened.

The opening of the channel finally made Vita feel some familiar feeling, and the feeling from many years ago seemed to come back again.

"vita?" The other party asked with some hesitation, as if he was not sure whether it was appropriate for him to do so.

[Long time no see, Jarvis. ] Vita replied.

"You still remember me." Vita is not sure why an AI can express human emotions so authentically in the data stream, but she really felt the other party's relief from Jarvis' words a feeling of.

【certainly? ] She put a question mark to express her doubts.

"It's really been a long time... vita."

【Me too, jarvis, nice to see you again. ] Vita thinks, if she is still an entity now, she will smile at the other party.

******

A year ago, the Fantastic Four's Baxter Mansion encountered an attack from Doombots that caused Vita's terminal server to

The server exploded, and after Loki led the Chitauri army to invade, Mr. Fantastic had to put the reconstruction on hold. It was not until recently that the maintenance plan was finally restarted, and Jarvis's owner Tony Stark was asked to help with the maintenance.

Today, Master Stark still left the Stark Building that he was still rebuilding, and went to Baxter Building to help, and he felt that the smart housekeeper in Baxter Building was back online.

He felt uneasy when sending a communication to the other party - if AI can also feel uneasy

Does the other party still remember him?Has the damage to the server affected her data storage?Did Mr. Reed format her?

When too much uncertainty interfered with him being unable to accurately calculate the results as usual, he realized that he was indeed not omnipotent... and this perception made him feel powerless.

Then, he received a communication connection request from the other party.

—Long time no see, Jarvis.

Such a straight-forward, simple and clear greeting dispelled all his anxiety.

— Me too, jarvis, nice to see you again.

He suddenly realized that he didn't know what to respond to.All the vocabulary of all types of languages ​​in the world is stored in his terminal, but at the moment he can't find a suitable vocabulary to form a suitable sentence to express his thoughts.

*******

Jarvis's inexplicable silence made Vita feel a little strange, but she always remembered Captain Kirk's teaching to her, sometimes silence is a kind of politeness, so she decided to politely not ask the other party and give the other party some time.

Just at this moment——

"How do you feel? Vita?" Reed's voice, who was debugging his own homemade machine, intervened in the Vita's system from the microphone.

Vita separated a little bit of god from the deep data, and kept a polite answer [At present, the third data scan has no loopholes, and the program is running normally. 】

"Can you access all the systems in the entire building?" Reed just raised an eyebrow and asked without looking up.

[Already connected. 】

"Okay, okay, let's do a test." Reed twisted his neck twice and went to the other side of the room to check the data on the screen, while saying, "Where is Johnny?"

[…] Vita paused for a moment, she should have gone to check the monitoring of the whole building, then she came back, coughed twice like a human clearing her throat, and answered in a calm tone that was completely different from the meaning in the words [Mr. Storm is staying in the room with a beautiful lady... I'm sure you don't want to know the details.I've turned off the surveillance in Mr. Storm's room. 】Considering the underlying meaning of these words, vita's tone as if it was broadcasting the weather really makes people feel helpless.

"...Uh...Okay." Ignoring the provocative gaze from Tony beside him, Reed nodded and blinked his eyes, his voice was as peaceful as his AI, without feeling any embarrassment. Keep asking "Is Su okay?"

[Mrs. Richard is currently cooking food in the kitchen on the third floor of the building, and your son is crawling on the sofa in the living room...] Vita paused when she said this, and did not answer for more than ten seconds.This made Reed raise his head in confusion. He glanced at Tony, who was monitoring the program running on the mainframe. The latter raised his hands to indicate that it was not the problem here. Then he raised his head and shouted to the nearest camera, "vita ?What's wrong?"

【...Sorry, just now I saw your son was about to fall to the ground...】

"Oh, Franklin! Is he okay!" Hearing this, Reed's calm expression finally turned into a worried expression. Reed is a scientist, and his excellent mind allows him to rationally analyze all the problems at any time. Things, but his son who was just born less than half a year old is an exception. The part of him as a father makes him more like a human being. At this moment, he twisted his neck uneasily and interrupted Vita's anxious question.

【… So I activated a cleaning robot without authorization and pushed a mat over. ] Vita answered him slowly, which relieved the scientist as his father.Then Reed stood up a little uneasy, thought for a while, and then said to his friend and research partner who was in the same room, "I'd better go and have a look."

"Go." Tony has no children, and he doesn't quite understand the heart of being a parent, but what Reed wants to do is his own business, so Tony nodded and said that he can watch here.

Receiving Tony's nod, Reed hurriedly took the elevator down from the top-floor laboratory without even taking off the white coat he wore over his blue uniform during the experiment.

"..." Looking at the downward lights of the elevator, it was as if Reed had left, Tony sat on his seat, stepped on his feet, and the round chair slid out with him, turning around After a long circle, he finally stopped and faced another virtual screen standing in front of him.Tony rested his elbow on the console, and unconsciously knocked on the table made of the LCD screen with one hand. The LCD panel had a little ripple because of his finger tapping, and then popped up on the virtual screen standing in front of him. A dialog box was opened, asking whether the error was executed, Tony crossed out the dialog box without thinking, looked at the self-test program still scrolling in front of him, waved his hand to clear the densely packed code, and raised his voice "So, Vita?"

【Mr. Stark, what can I do to help? ] Vita's voice sounded timely and politely.

"So, you are the girl our old boy misses?"

【What? ] There was a pause for a while, and then Vita asked with doubts.

"It's nothing..." Tony waved his hand, instead of answering Vita's rhetorical question, he touched his chin, thought for a while, and glanced at the ceiling.It has been more than ten years since he created Jarvis, and his long time with AI has made him more accustomed to talking to a ubiquitous and invisible voice than anyone else.

But this time he thought he'd better look at the other person and ask, "What do you think, what about our old Jia?"

[…] This time the other party was silent for a little longer [I don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Stark. 】
