34. Icarus. The Trouble with Young People
Merlin instructed Lincoln to take Lillian to the Trident headquarters to go through the induction procedures, and sent a message to Hitville, who had been promoted to the head of the internal affairs agent, asking him to advance Lillian's induction procedures, and it would be best to end before this afternoon.
He desperately hoped that Lillian would get into work as fast as possible.
Before leaving, Vivian left not much of the 20 parts of the witcher conversion neutralizer left, and that thing still has a shelf life. Merlin hopes that Lillian can configure a new neutralizer for him before the neutralizer loses its effect.
As for whether Pamela Lillian Esley is trustworthy, Merlin doesn't care.
Not to mention SHIELD's powerful intelligence capabilities, Merlin had already seen all the information about this girl before Lillian joined the company. Just say that in Gotham, there was no secret that could be hidden from Bruce Wayne's eyes.
Bruce was able to recommend Lillian to S.H.E.L.D. according to Merlin's request, which proves that Bruce also believes that this girl is harmless.
After finishing the first half of the day of work, at 11 o'clock, Merlin drove to a cafe near Columbia University. He parked his car in the parking lot and walked into the cafe. He saw Princess Su Rui sitting in the corner with a bored look on his face, as if waiting for someone.
Meilin walked over and sat in the chair opposite Su Rui.
“I came when I received the message.”
Merlin said to the foreign princess in front of her:
"Those pair of glasses are ready?"
"certainly."
Su Rui, wearing round-frame glasses, took out a box from her handbag and handed it to Meilin. While she picked up the spoon to stir the coffee, she looked casually at the entrance of the coffee shop.
She wasn't waiting for Merlin, obviously, she was waiting for others.
Merlin opened the box and found that there were glasses that were very similar to his previous frameless glasses, but the glasses had frames, and the legs of the glasses looked thicker than ordinary glasses.
Merlin picked it up and found that the thing was still a little heavy after buying it.
"Yeah, this weight."
Meilin looked up at Su Rui and said:
"You used vibrator?"
"Of course."
Su Ruisou shrugged and said to Meilin:
"This little thing has a lot of modules in it. Without vibrating gold, its stability is difficult to maintain. I know, it is very heavy, but for a superhuman like you, such a little weight should not be a problem."
The princess blinked and said:
"I asked my brother to customize this frame in Wakanda. Please wear it and try it."
Merlin lowered her head and quickly changed into these new glasses.
Although Su Rui said it very easily, such a pair of heavy glasses would not feel comfortable when they were on the bridge of his nose. It was like wearing a shackle, which even made Merlin's nose feel a little uncomfortable.
But its effects are outstanding.
The moment Merlin put on his glasses, accompanied by his blinking, a weird data loading interface quickly appeared on the lens.
Two seconds later, a mechanical woman's voice rang in Merlin's ears:
"The wearer is detected by the system activation, the authentication is passed in the iris authentication, and the permission is locked"
“Welcome to Icarus, Mr. Merlin.”
"Icarus?"
Meilin looked at Su Rui, who shrugged and said with a smile:
"I heard from my cousin that you have the habit of naming your favorite items, so I gave it a name, Icarus, Eye of the Eagle, isn't it good?"
"Yeah, that's not bad."
Merlin nodded, and in front of him, the various modules of the glasses called Icarus were quickly starting and loading, just like the glasses that Merlin wore before Su Rui. After a few seconds, on the left lens of Merlin, a circle similar to a scope began to float, and there was still a data stream jumping below.
Temperature, humidity, refractive index of light, and spectral changes all appear under the ring.
On the lens on the right of Meilin, Su Rui's face was quickly simulated by data. A 3D image began to appear in front of Meilin's eyes, and rows of information were jumping on the lens.
However, it is probably because the database is not connected, those characters are all garbled.
"You need to connect to the database to use."
Su Rui could probably guess what Meilin saw now. She took out another black thing, similar to the U disk, and placed it in front of Meilin. She said:
"Insert this thing into the data interface of a database, Icarus will automatically read the data. It has low-level deciphering programs, but if it is a database with high encryption, it needs to run some special unlocking programs."
Su Rui said to Meilin:
"I am only responsible for helping you make glasses, and not for helping you hack into other databases. That is illegal."
"Well, I can understand."
Merlin nodded, and he turned his eyes to other places in the cafe. Beside him and Su Rui, there was an intellectual long-haired beauty drinking coffee alone.
In Merlin's gaze, the woman's information was quickly retrieved.
Her height, weight, body fat rate, skin temperature, and even the measurement information were all brushed on Merlin's lenses. And with Merlin's eyes blinking, the light emitted on the lenses changed color. Soon, Merlin saw her red sexy underwear through the woman's long skirt and saw her long red underwear.
Uh, I can't continue watching.
Meilin immediately withdrew his gaze.
His fingers slapped on the temples of Icarus' glasses, and the extra features were paused. He looked at Su Rui and said:
“Are there any other features I need to pay attention to?”
"have!"
Su Rui took a sip of coffee and said to Meilin with great enthusiasm:
"Thanks to the weapon module you gave me before, I have developed a lot of interesting things. I added a remote control module to Icarus. As long as it can be connected to a specific frequency, you can use it to control some machinery such as robotic arms in a factory, and some defense robots, etc."
"I call it Intelligent Mechanical Mode, in which you can take over all the mechanical equipment within 50 meters around. But as before, its AI level is limited and can only crack low-level encryption programs."
The princess pushed her glasses with some regrets, and she said to Merlin:
"Wakanda has regulations. I cannot load our advanced artificial intelligence onto external mechanical equipment. This can easily lead to some extreme consequences. You should be able to understand that the higher the level of artificial intelligence, the higher the intensity of constraints and monitoring, Wakanda has a mature data monitoring system, but the outside world does not."
"Well, I can understand the same sentence."
Meilin pushed the heavy glasses with satisfaction, and he said to Su Rui:
"I'm very satisfied, thank you, Su Rui."
"Since you are very satisfied, I'm going to trouble you with something."
Su Rui blinked in a weird way, which made Meilin feel that he was in trouble again.
Sure enough, the next moment, at Su Rui's call, a guy walked out of the cafe in a squeak, and sat next to Su Rui. He looked at his commander with some fear.
Yes, this is a S.H.E.L.D., and it is Merlin's subordinate.
Agent Rose, a sl.d.5-level field agent, was assigned by Merlin not long ago to secretly protect Princess Su Rui.
Merlin looked at Agent Rost expressionlessly, then looked at the hands he held with Su Rui. He rubbed his forehead with some headaches, and he said to Agent Rost:
"I sent you to protect her, Ross! The protection I mentioned is the defense mission of the agents! Not to protect you, the bastard!"
"Uh, sir, I'm sorry."
Agent Rose said with a sad look:
"But it's already happening"
"What's going on?"
Merlin pulled out a cigarette in a irritable state, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently. He said in a cold tone:
"tell me."
Agent Rose, 27, glanced at Su Rui beside him and said:
"Seven days ago, she went to drink with a group of classmates. I was responsible for protecting her, but as a result, I drank some too."
"Bang"
Merlin's fist hit the table, shocking Su Rui and Rose.
"You've been demoted, Agent Rose."
Merlin said:
"You are very unprofessional, which disappoints me that you are also an old member of sl.d. How could you make such a mistake? Forget it, I don't want to care about your personal affairs, but I want to remind you, Rose, and Su Rui."
Merlin said to her subordinates and the Princess Wakanda in front of her:
"Su Rui's identity is extraordinary. If you plan to take this opportunity to jump into the upper level of Wakanda, then I advise you to give up this mind in advance. Wakanda's country is very closed, especially the royal family, which attaches great importance to blood. Even if Su Rui is willing to continue with you, there is no future between you."
"As for you, Su Rui, you should think carefully about how to explain to your parents."
Merlin said:
"And although your brother has a gentle personality, I believe that he will not let you do whatever he wants in such a thing."
"So I'll keep you secret."
Su Rui didn't care much. She held Agent Rost's arm while saying to Merlin:
"I am also an adult. I have the power to decide my life. I do not inherit the throne and do not need family marriage. This is not as terrible as you think, Merlin."
"I said, I'm not involved in this."
Merlin said expressionlessly:
"I have no intention of breaking you up, but you'd better restrain yourself. You're going to move out of my house, right?"
"Well, we've rented a house."
Su Rui said:
"Not far from your place."
"Oh, young people now."
Merlin rubbed his head with a headache. He stood up and said to the two of them:
"You guys do whatever you want Ross, from today on, you can transfer to civilian work and stay at the headquarters to work. I want to warn you, don't think about promotion before I get angry!"
After saying that, Merlin ignored Su Rui's cheers, and under Agent Rose's gratitude, he turned around and left the cafe.
He threw this terrible thing aside and drove toward the Trident headquarters.
While turning on the steering wheel, Merlin inserted the USB drive Su Rui's to his into the speaker jack of the console of the car. A few seconds later, on the lens of Icarus, the 3D model of the car was captured.
"The intelligent machine mode starts awareness capture mode and the automatic driving mode is turned on, please set the destination."
As Icarus' mechanical sound was improving, Merlin tried to release the steering wheel, and the car began to drive automatically. After the destination was set, Merlin leaned on her seat, folded her hands on her abdomen, and said softly:
"Icarus, let's have a soothing song."
A moment later, a serenade full of tranquility echoed in the carriage. Merlin's car rolled up the fallen leaves on the side of the road and drove smoothly towards the Trident headquarters.
There is an information station for the S.H.E.L.D. database where Merlin can connect to the S.H.E.L.D. database.
Of course, just a database is definitely not enough.
Moreover, the artificial intelligence of this pair of glasses also needs to be improved. Merlin doesn't want to fight the enemy with a defective product. The best thing is that there is a guest on the Ghost Base who is very good at handling data problems.
—
Time flies so fast, and in a blink of an eye, a month has passed.
As 2003 approached, in the mechanical laboratory of the ghost base, Merlin stood aside, looking at George, who was sitting on a floating chair, and was manipulating two robotic arms to finalize Merlin's vibrating glasses.
"I improved its intelligence and wrote programs for it that can perform deep learning on its own, but the growth of artificial intelligence takes time, Merlin."
George has recovered from his previous frustration.
He is now recuperating, waiting for a test of mutation in his body, but his withdrawal problem is probably not changed. He usually stays in his own room at the ghost base and occasionally chats with the gorilla Winston.
However, the wisdom contained in his big head was indeed terrifying. The high technology in the glasses made by Su Rui for Meilin was quickly figured out in a month.
“That mysterious Wakanda has a very high level of technology.”
George said to Merlin while floating flexibly in the air:
"Their achievements in data processing have even surpassed those of .m, which surprised me. There are indeed many secrets hidden in this world that we don't know."
"So I often say that the job of sl.d. is to watch the craziest performance in the world in the front row."
Merlin watched George manipulate the robotic arm and put a chip into the small window in the frame of his eyes, and he said to George:
"What are you thinking about when I gave you the suggestion I gave you before? Are you going to be our consultant?"
George's movements stopped at this moment, and the slightly melancholy big head whispered:
"I haven't thought about it yet."
"Anyway, wait until the mutation test is over before talking about it. Your Icarus has been upgraded."
George, a big head, manipulated the small robotic arm on his suspended chair, handed Icarus to Merlin, and said to Merlin:
"You have your own artificial intelligence now and use it well. Merlin, this is my most proud invention so far. The research results of m in data science are concentratedly reflected in this chip, representing the future!"
Merlin nodded, and he put the eye on. With the blink of an eye, the familiar data interface appeared in front of him again, and the loading speed was obviously much faster than before.
"Welcome back, Mr. Merlin Icarus is honored to serve you."
Icarus's voice was even much better than the previous stiff feeling, like a real person talking to Merlin.
According to Merlin's request, George changed Icarus's voice to the kind that made him feel very comfortable.
Elsa's voice.
Merlin reached out and pushed his glasses. As the green data stream was rushing, he whispered:
Chapter completed!
