After the first phase of the liquidation operation for Hydra, Merlin's focus shifted to the issue of intelligent machinery.

A few days ago, the negotiations under the charge of Agent Hill finally made progress. Wakanda agreed to initially join the Intelligent Machinery Plan with a squeamish attitude, which allowed the world's first Intelligent Machinery Center to finally start construction near the Nigerian prairie.

The newly established Onika Group is responsible for the specific construction work. The infrastructure of a super-large industrial park covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters has been started. There is no problem in this regard. Whether it is funds, workers, or even the staff of the future group are already in place.

But the trouble is that the most core technology required by the Intelligent Machinery Center is still under development.

Regarding the fully automatic production system that can automatically produce various types of intelligent machinery robots, including artificial intelligence programs that match the intelligent machinery center, etc., these technological aspects are still in a blueprint.

Merlin opened up Cybertron research data to many smart people, including Reed Richards, Tony Stark and Lex Luther, including the wreckage currently collected, and even the two first-generation intelligent robots, ghosts and murmurs in the S.H.E.L.D., which were constantly studied and observed by these scientists.

But in a short period of time, it is still very difficult to design a complete set of intelligent equipment centers by relying on humans.

In fact, this is equivalent to humans relying on themselves to complete a technological version of the "creation system".

If you just create a robot that looks similar to a smart machine, it is not difficult. The real difficulty lies in giving these newly born robots a basic, controllable, and able to grow self-logic and intelligence.

It is equivalent to giving them the most basic wisdom and giving them a mechanical soul.

To describe it in abstract and sensual words, human beings are trying to become "God of Creation". Because only God can do the thing that gives the soul.

But extraordinary wisdom is unimaginable to ordinary people after all. Dr. Reed has already had some ideas. After discovering that being given wisdom exceeds the ability of scientists, Reed and Tony came up with a second plan after several days of discussion.

Just after the inspection from the small grassland town of Nigeria, Merlin, who returned to New York, received a top-secret document sent from Dr. Reed's laboratory.

On Icarus' lenses, Dr. Reid explained their new ideas to Merlin in a very academic description, but Merlin had a headache when she saw those professional terms throughout the article.

He had to rely on Icarus to summarize and explain the meaning of this document for him.

“Copy and copy?”

Merlin looked at the conclusion that Icarus finally concluded, and he asked curiously:

"How are they going to get this done?"

"To put it simply, these scientists plan to select several 'personality templates' from various types of intelligent machines that have been contained, copy the thinking data of the selected intelligent machines, and then modify it slightly, and then copy them into the logical database of the new generation of intelligent machines that will be produced in the future."

Icarus explained:

"It is equivalent to humans only need to make intelligent machines bodies, and their souls are derived from the existing intelligent machines thinking mode. Because of the portability of data life thinking, this method has a high success rate."

"To give an inappropriate example, what they want to do is equivalent to digging out the brains of existing smart machines, copying hundreds of copies, and then putting them into a new shell. In this way, you can get hundreds of new smart machines."

The final summary of the Artificial Intelligence Girl:

"To be honest, this is a good idea. It can solve the difference between the new smart machine and the naturally born smart machine in the shortest time."

"I probably understand."

Merlin nodded, and he asked another question:

"But will not allow large-scale 'like' in the future smart machinery to appear? Well, let me think about the word biodiversity?"

“Your wording is very irregular and inappropriate.”

Icarus complained ruthlessly, but she patiently explained to Merlin:

"But I can understand your meaning and concerns. The scientists who submitted this plan obviously took this into consideration. In their plan, the number of data personality templates they want to extract is huge, and they will filter out the most suitable samples and then process them at the data level."

"They seem to design a special program to interlaced the various characteristics of the intelligent machine personality, just like a large-scale data combination, which can ensure that every newly offline intelligent machine has certain unique personality traits. If you don't understand it if I explain this, I'll give you a simpler example."

Icarus put a screenshot of a video game in front of Merlin, and she said to Merlin:

"For example, this text adventure game, when you choose a character, you can define the character's personality. It is done through different affixes. For example, 'wise', 'reckless', 'blunt', 'irritable', etc. As long as there are enough affixes, you can ensure that every character is unique."

"Oh, I'll understand if you say that."

Merlin snapped his fingers and said enthusiastically:

"So in the future, there will be a smart machine that is 'reasonable and irritable' and 's sensitive and incompetent'?"

""

Icarus didn't know how to answer Merlin's weird question, so she chose to remain silent.

But after a moment, she replied hesitantly:

"Yes, in theory, it is possible that there are two completely opposite character traits at the same time. But scientists have set up relatively complete detection procedures for this replication and reset system. They have contradictory character traits, which may lead to self-destructive smart machines. Perhaps they will be destroyed on the line."

"Yeah, it's pretty good."

Merlin said:

"If this plan is executable, then submit it to Fury. By the way, add a simple explanation, such as your previous examples. As far as I know, Fury's knowledge in this area is similar to mine. If I can't understand it, then he will definitely not understand it either."

“???”

Icarus cast a bunch of question marks on the lenses, and she asked in confusion:

"No, Director Fury will give some inspiring opinions every time he attends a seminar on intelligence. He doesn't look like a beginner in the data field."

“That’s because he has a private think tank.”

Merlin whispered:

"Every time he made the 'inspiring' view, it was proposed by scientists in the think tank, and he just repeated it. Fury is like this. He hopes to show his ability to control the situation on various occasions. But considering that he is the director and his attitude will directly affect many things, this disguise is understandable."

"Okay, let's just come here."

Merlin took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. He said to Icarus:

"It's time for me to get off work. Let's talk about the rest tomorrow."

"I'm actually very confused."

As Merlin stood up and was about to leave the office, Icarus asked:

"In my data interaction interface, there is always a sign of time, and it is definitely the most standard time. You just need to open your eyes to see the time, but why, every time you look at the time, you have to take out your pocket watch?"

"Well"

Merlin reached out and pushed his glasses, and he replied:

"It's just used to it and this pocket watch has special meaning, Icarus, it's hard for me to explain this to you."

This answer silenced Icarus for a few seconds, and as Merlin walked out of the office, she replied:

"Yes, it's hard for me to understand. Even if I can drive a starship alone, some of the human minds are still too complicated for me."

"This is a good thing, Icarus."

While returning to his home with the shapeshift spell, Merlin said to his smart assistant:

"You are beginning to be interested in human thinking patterns, which means that your own personality patterns are gradually improving. Maybe one day, you will understand my behavior that seems to be unnecessary in your opinion, and by that day, you will have the same soul as me."

"Swish"

Merlin appeared in his living room, but his expression became weird.

In front of him, on his sofa, Lorna and Riven were chatting with a weird guy, a raccoon walking upright, wearing small power armor, full of mane?

Next to the raccoon, there was a strange tree-like man sitting. The guy sipped the chilled beer with his finger vines while staring at the TV with his own eyes, which was filled with blue cats and brown mice running around.

The stupid dog Frank lay on the side, enjoying his new can, and there was an indescribable sense of happiness on his silly face.

Merlin also noticed that Gugu was quietly lying on the edge of the second floor, as if he was secretly observing the two new guys. But Gugu did not pounce on the same as before, and it seemed that it was also very interested in the two "guests".

"Merlin!"

When he saw Merlin coming home, Lorna reached out to greet Merlin. After the child became a big girl, he became much more polite. Of course, he would occasionally stick to Merlin as before.

"Oh, you're Merlin?"

The rocket raccoon, who was carrying beer and bragging with two girls, also jumped up from the sofa. It looked at Merlin, and it said:

"Frank said you'll pay me and Groot a considerable commission, so don't let us waste our time, come on and start counting the money."

As he spoke, the guy took out something like a calculator from behind and pressed the thing out loud.

"Uh, who are you?"

Merlin glared at the stupid dog Frank, then looked at the little raccoon and the tree man.

"My name is Groot."

The tree man stood up, waved to Meilin politely, and stretched his vine arms, as if he was going to shake hands with Meilin. Its expression was honest and looked quite cute.

"My name is Merlin, Merlin Riley."

Merlin glanced at the flowery "hand", and he reached out and held it with the vine.

"Oh, my name is Rockets."

While pressing the calculator, the raccoon said to Merlin without raising his head:

"Your world is not as bad as I thought. In fact, it is pretty good. The air is fresh and the trees are shaded. Although the technology is a little behind, the original food is really great! The beer tastes very good, I like your two sisters very much. Although Miss Riven doesn't like talking, I can feel that she is a wise person."

"Think about it!"

The guy kept talking a lot, then turned the calculator in his hand toward Merlin. It blinked and said to Merlin:

"The commission for this mission is 322,456 stars. For the sake of my good relationship with Frank, I will remove the fraction of it for you. Just give me 322,450 stars."

"Oh, is that? You can wait a moment."

Merlin gently made a pause gesture to the Rocket Raccoon, and then he looked at the stupid dog hiding aside. He gestured and said:

"Frank, don't you think you should explain it to me?"

"Don't listen to it."

After eating the canned food, the silly dog ​​licked his lips and said to Merlin:

"I gave it a boat, and we didn't need to pay any extra. It just brought Groot to the house as a guest, and after dinner, it could drive it out."

"No, I'm talking about other things."

Merlin walked to Frank's eyes, he squatted down and patted the silly dog's head, he said:

"Your trip looks very lively, and you even found a reply from your new friend Carol?"

"Oh, here."

The silly dog ​​tweaked his collar with his paws, and there was a black iron box.

Merlin took off the box, and he turned his head to Riven, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book and wearing round-frame glasses, said:

"Riwen, please entertain these two guests for me, and I'll come here later."

"You go and do it."

Riven waved to Merlin without raising her head. Riven's personality was already very calm. She was already a reassuring girl. So Merlin looked at Lorna again and said:

"Lorna, don't drink too much wine for the tree people, give the raccoon some food, I won't cook tonight."

"Oh, OK."

Lorna responded obediently, and Merlin waved to the raccoon and the tree man, then walked up to the second floor, closed the bedroom door, and opened the iron box.

There is a letter inside.

From the other end of the Xinghai, a letter from his ex-girlfriend.

"well"

Merlin sighed, and he stretched out his hand and spread the letter. To be honest, he had a rare tension and worry inside. Alas, I don’t know what kind of reaction Carol would make after confessing Elsa’s existence?
Chapter completed!
