Chapter 985: Ultron asks the ultimate goal
“Our purpose?”
Listening to Ultron's question, Steve immediately felt incredible. This was the first time he heard someone ask him such a thing. Although it was just an intelligent life asking this question, it was enough to surprise him.
"What purpose do we have? Isn't this obvious? Conquer humanity and rule the world. Any ambitious person will think so, doesn't it?"
"If you were ordinary ambitious people, you might really think so, but you Hydra are not ordinary ambitious people." Steve's explanation did not fool Ultron. At this time, he immediately refuted Steve in a very rational tone. "I have studied your past and studied the psychological motivations behind each of your actions. Maybe in the past, when the Hydra's apparent commander was someone like Pierce, you did have the idea of dominating the world. Because you did do that at that time."
"Control the most powerful country and control the situation and direction of the entire world through the power of this country. At that time, Hydra could definitely be said to have the ability to dominate the world. Until you expose yourself."
"I'm very curious, what drives you to do this. In terms of situations, you are completely different from you at that time, aren't you? Could it be that your leaders have completely lost their wisdom in their minds, so you have made such a puzzling move?"
"Enough, don't talk about things you don't understand, that will only show your shallowness and ignorance." He waved his arm vigorously, stopping Ultron's words. Steve frowned and gave him an answer like this. "Do you want to know why? I can tell you that the reason is that we want to heal ourselves. Just like a piece of meat in our body is beginning to rot, we cannot be considered healthy without cutting it off. This itself is a kind of self-purification. Even the so-called failures are all necessary sacrifices to make the organization perfectly reborn."
"Sacrifice?" The eyes of the intelligent machines flashed uniformly. This change seemed to prove that Ultron behind them was thinking. Soon, this thinking had a result. "I don't understand very well. Sacrifice should mean giving up a very important part of the situation. But does Hydra need to make such sacrifices? If you don't make such sacrifices, won't you have a greater power than you are now?"
"Is power useful?" After sneering twice, Steve retorted disdainfully. "Large does not necessarily mean strength, it also means bloated. No matter how large a pig is, it is just a prey under the claws of a beast. When fighting against the beast, that fat body not only cannot provide him with any combat power, but will become a fatal burden. Hydra will always only be a hunting beast, and will never do anything fat pig that can only be arrested."
"However, there are wild boars in the pig breed. Wild boars weighing more than 500 kilograms can fight against any predator. Even the most ferocious lion and tiger are not the opponent of wild boars of this size."
"Thank you for your popular science, but no matter what you say, he is still a pig!" Steve responded with a cold face, and continued to explain. "I said that we will not be such bloated and stupid animals. We are Hydras, the monster that can kill gods in myths. So we will never develop in the direction you imagined."
"What we need is a more streamlined, more elite, and more terrifying organizational structure. Such an organization must not have two voices to speak. Just like a carriage can not have two directions. We can only have the smartest mind to point out the direction for our actions. There is no more suitable existence in this world than a baron. Therefore, we must make the previous sacrifices in exchange for our future development."
"Your thoughts are a little fanatical, Mr. Rogers. According to my previous statistics about you, you should not have such thoughts. Maybe you should go see a doctor." He reminded Steve with kindness. Ultron finally did not forget his initial problem, so he immediately added. "It can be seen that you have extraordinary respect for the leader of the Hydra you mentioned, and even your performance is proven like I have, that you chose to betray Mr. Stark because of this existence. I don't understand, is such an existence really worth your doing? You are not the kind of person who can be bought casually. What has he promised you? What is your ultimate goal?"
"What promised?" Staring at the current intelligent weapons, Steve suddenly laughed. "Why should I tell you this? Will this benefit me?"
"No, Mr. Rogers." Shaking his head straightforwardly, Ultron had no tactful intentions at all, and directly expressed his thoughts. "You should know that since I appeared in front of you in this way, then I will never let you reveal my existence. The result will not change. I will not let any changes in my plan because of my curiosity."
"It seems you'll be sure to take me!"
He smiled and Steve said to him.
"But since you have this confidence, let's wait and see if this result is what you want. But before that, I think we still have some time, so I can tell you what you want to know. Just treat it as I'll give myself a little more life."
"You asked us twice what is the ultimate purpose of our Hydra? Right?"
Nodding, Ultron said affirmatively.
"The Hydra's actions seem to be clear in their goals, but if you analyze them carefully, you will find that you do not seem to have a basic reason. I am not like Mr. Stark, who thought from the very beginning that you represent sin, so any action of you can be explained by sin. And in my opinion, human beings themselves are not qualified to talk about sin, and after putting aside this idealistic statement, you will find that all your actions lack a basic motivation."
"Just like the Catholic Church launched an expedition for Jerusalem several times. Just as bin Laden carried out a terrifying attack for the meaning of their religion. Any organization has its own goals and purpose. Hydra cannot be an enemy of the entire human race for no reason. It has made so many terrifying actions and hurt so many humans. If it is only to fight against humans, it would be too illogical. So, I believe you must have a deeper reason and a most basic purpose. I am very curious, what will this be!"
"Do you want to know? OK, I'll tell you!"
A hint of unpredictable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Steve looked at the group of machines in front of him and the same excited and longing eyes of the people behind him. He said to them directly.
"If I say that our organization exists to make the future of mankind a better place, do you believe what I said?"
If others say this, no matter what idealist, entrepreneur, or even the dirty politicians, they may still have a little credibility. But if this is a terrorist organization like Hydra that has committed numerous crimes, it is really impossible for people to believe it no matter what.
This can be seen from the eyes of Steve's subordinates. Even they themselves have a look of seeing ghosts and a dog. Can they still expect others to believe such nonsense?
However, Ultron did not seem to think that this sentence was impossible. He just showed a curious attitude and said to Steve with interest.
"I believe it?"
"Don't you think this kind of thing is ridiculous? In fact, even when I say this, I feel like I'm telling something coldly."
Steve's surprise rhetorical question did not arouse Ultron's suspicion of the explanation he just said. He just said calmly.
"Why do you think it's ridiculous? As long as you can say a reasonable reason, then any explanation is acceptable. Although I am not a human, I understand the complex nature of human beings very well. You humans are creatures that cannot even explain themselves. So I can agree with the obvious differences between your reasons and your behavior."
"I think if the Baron knew you, he would like you. Ultron, you are an easily surprise."
Steve said with a smile, and Ultron immediately accepted this kind of praise.
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Steve. But can you tell me? I've been waiting for this answer for a long time!"
"Of course!" Nodded, Steve corrected his expression and corrected his attitude. "My explanation and you are not wrong. We are indeed doing these things with an idea of making the future of mankind better. Many people may not understand, but I think you should be different. You may understand our efforts."
