46. ??Onika Group
“This plan…”
The big bald Lex Luthor is a very patient person. He stood by the window and read the plan without a name in his hand. After reading it, he whispered:
"It's interesting."
The wise man looked back at Fury and said:
"You must have been sorting out and planning a long time to create this huge and complete plan... I have to admit that I underestimated S.H.I.E.L.D.."
"It's okay."
Fury didn't care. He said while playing with the badge of the Future Technology Foundation in his hand:
"People who are not familiar with us will always underestimate us and will not face us until we are punched in the face. This is normal, we are used to it."
"A group that spans national and geographical concepts, specializing in researching and developing artificial intelligence and new mechanical products to usher in the era of intelligent machinery..."
Bruce Wayne threw the plan aside, he glanced at Fury, then at Merlin, and said:
"It sounds very feasible. Are you planning to slowly penetrate the public's ideas?"
"Yes, at the beginning, it was semi-intelligent equipment, sweeping robots, smart speakers, etc., then it was primary intelligence, fully autonomous driving vehicles, intelligent service systems to help patients with paralysis, and finally robots, used to replace dangerous industrial production positions, as well as mechanical servants, etc.."
Merlin briefly said:
"This has a complete hierarchical system. People's fear of strange things comes from the unknown, so they need to be promoted step by step. But this kind of thing cannot be done by the official, and this will be interpreted by the media as some very bad signs, so it is most appropriate to leave it to the commercial system to operate."
"But even Wayne Industry, or Lakes Group, Stark Industry, or even Wakanda, can't do this independently."
Merlin said:
"We need everyone to form a consortium. You are all carefully selected and have proved their position in the previous Cybertron War. Of course, this consortium only needs nominal capital injection, and its daily operation is controlled by us under the supervision of the World Security Council. But all the profits obtained from your investment will be returned to you."
"When it first appeared, you also need to use your energy to get it on track quickly."
"Wait, I have a question!"
The smart man Reed frowned and looked at some information in the plan, he asked:
"You are planning to tamper with the birth information of smart machines, completely separate their origins from the Cybertrons, and make them set as products of human development of artificial intelligence to eliminate people's fears and concerns about smart machines. I can understand the reason for this, but I doubt that with our current technology, can we complete this large-scale data level...well, 'brainwashing'."
"After all, as far as I know, there are already quite a lot of smart machines in the world now."
"Good question!"
Fury snapped his fingers, he looked back at Reed, and he said:
"We can't solve it, so that's why you're here, the world's number one smart person, we need your wisdom to solve this problem, and I also believe that you can complete this task."
"Well."
Reed didn't expect that he asked a question and put himself in the language trap Fury had prepared in advance.
He was a little hesitant. He was a neutral. He had no good feelings for smart machines or had no dislikes. However, this kind of thing that eliminated smart machines data memory on a large scale always felt a little panicked.
Prince Tchara, who stood beside him, also expressed opposition:
"Wakanda has promised to protect the lives of all intelligent machines entering our borders and willing to abide by Wakanda's laws. This large-scale memory removal will make them feel uneasy."
Princess Su Rui also spoke:
"And I think you underestimate the wisdom of smart machines, especially the first and second batches of smart machines born. They have reorganized energy to improve their personality modules. They are not stupider than humans. To be honest, they are smarter than most humans. This simple "brainwashing" is difficult to achieve in terms of technology and ethics."
“About this question…”
Merlin and Fury looked at each other, and he placed a three-dimensional projection instrument on the table, and the next moment, the projection was turned on.
In the projection, George, sitting on a floating chair, faced with a strange intelligence.
The reason why it is said to be weird is that this smart machine is reading...
When reading a real book, it is filled with all kinds of classics.
"Mengdata, do you have any experience in studying in the past few days?"
George asked in the picture.
"Please don't bother me, sir, I'm thinking about the relationship between the soul and the body... Do we have souls? How should we recognize the concept of the soul? Most importantly, if there is no soul in our mechanical body, then how should we give birth to souls?"
"Ah, this problem is too difficult, my logic processor cannot handle such a problem..."
The intelligent robot turned a page of the book and said:
"I have to draw wisdom from human history... Please don't bother me."
"Swish"
The projection ends here.
Meilin looked at Su Rui and asked:
"Tell me, Su Rui... do you think smart machines have souls?"
"this..."
Princess Su Rui, who has always been smart, said she could not answer, and a trace of splendor flashed in Lex Luthor's eyes, obviously, Mr. Luthor understood.
"Reid, you are the smartest person in the world. Tell me, does smart machines have a soul?"
Merlin looked at Mr. Reid again, who shrugged and replied:
"I don't know. Maybe I can only answer your question after I have studied the knowledge of Cybertron."
"All right."
Merlin looked at Techara again, and said:
"Your Highness, you promise to protect the personal safety of Zhijiao. This is great, it is great, it is kind, and it is kind, but the problem is that the birth of every racial civilization must have its own unique culture and civilization view. For a group of creatures that only use data to simulate personality, their memories, their cognition, and I mean, do these things they simulate have meaning?"
"I'm a wizard, everyone."
Merlin pulled out his wand and shook it, and he said to the others:
"I can answer you from a magical level that intelligence instruments have no souls. At least at this time, they have no souls. The Mengda Tower you saw before is a special intelligence instrument. We have transformed its logical circuit and made it have the ability to think emotionally. This is really difficult to do, and we have spent a lot of time."
"Anyway, I mean, before Mr. Mengdata's thinking about the body and soul of the Zhiji, and before it truly realizes the meaning of the soul, the so-called personality and memory of the Zhiji are just a bunch of data."
"Although I'm a bit cold to say this, it's the truth. I can tell you, the Cybertrons, that in this world, no one knows these mechanical lives better than me... The 'compatriots' in their eyes are robots that are given meaning of survival, and have sound personality traits and self-logic corrections."
Merlin spread her hands:
"From this point, even in the eyes of Cybertrons, smart machines are just tools that can move and think. Do you think we are persecuting smart machines? No, wrong! We are helping them complete the evolution of truly becoming soul creatures!"
"We are helping them!"
When Merlin finished speaking, Fury reached out and knocked on the table, and he said:
"Of course, Mr. Reed and Wakanda have enough time to think about our suggestions, and now it's time for us to discuss the specific matters."
"There is a very important part of this plan, which is the equipment we call the 'intelligent equipment center'."
Fury said:
"The function of this device is to simulate the process of naturally producing intelligent machinery from fire sources to realize the independent production of intelligent machinery by humans. We cannot use a scam to fool our people. Before intelligent machinery is accepted by the public, we must complete this central program that can continuously produce intelligent machinery, or artificial intelligence."
"If we claim that we created the smart machine, then we must do this! Everyone, the scam will be exposed one day, but the truth is not afraid to stand the test."
"Based on the current data, we infer..."
Merlin said:
"The number of intelligent machines born naturally may be between 2 million and 5 million. This number is not too large. But if the intelligent machine center is really developed, the number of intelligent machines in the future will greatly increase. What can 5 million robots do? Even if they all have souls, they are just a minority. If we hope that intelligent machines will truly change our social form and future, then 10 times more of their number is not enough... they have more!"
"What I want to tell you is..."
Merlin supported her hands on the table, and he said seriously to everyone in front of him:
"Don't think that the Smart Machine Project is just a meaningless scam, it's not!"
"In addition to helping smart machinery truly integrate into the earth's civilization and avoiding the future smart machinery crisis, it is also a progressive push for human scientific and technological civilization."
"We hope that our world will become better in the future, and the development of technology will also make our expectations a reality. We say we want to open the door to the new era, and we are doing this too!"
"Everyone, you are the wisest, smartest, and most visionary people in human civilization. We hope that you will also participate in this action, use your power to push it, monitor it, judge it, correct the steps and rhythms brought by the intelligent era, correct the dangers that may arise, and ultimately, lead the world into a more advanced era little by little."
Merlin glanced at Luther and said with a smile:
"Our civilization is excellent. It does not require the intervention of external forces or the promotion of seedlings. But I do not think that the Intelligent Machinery Plan is an interference with civilization. This is a reinforcement for the Earth's civilization, because one day, those Intelligent Machinery will stand with us and announce loudly that they are also members of the Earth..."
"They were born on Earth, and they had nothing to do with the Cybertrons. They were our fellow races... It is our innate responsibility to help them become better and to help them recognize the meaning of their existence."
"What do you think?"
Merlin said this very well and was very inflammatory, but unfortunately, the people in front of him were not those young people who would be casually incited. The people here all have their own ideas and wisdom. Each of them will not be stupider than Merlin, nor will they lose their own thoughts by Merlin's words.
So the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Until several minutes later, Luther put the paper in his handbag, and he told Merlin and Fury:
"I need to think about it for a while... I think you can understand it."
"Me too."
Tony Stark glanced at Merlin and said:
"This is so big that I don't want to participate anymore. You are doing something quite dangerous and planning for the future... Humph, I think you will mess it up."
"What are you afraid of if you mess up?"
Merlin teased:
"Isn't Tony Stark still coming on the stage at the last moment to complete a finale turn of the tide?"
"I'm not interested."
Tony snorted proudly, he stood up and grabbed the document casually, he said:
"I'm going to accompany Potz, women are just trouble... Wait for me to hear from you, I will reply as soon as possible."
"I need to hand over the documents to my father."
Techara and Princess Surui also announced their farewell, and he said seriously to Merlin and Fury:
"No matter what the result is, we will give you an answer as soon as possible."
"OK."
Merlin watched the people in the room leave one by one, and in the end he and Fury were left. He shrugged at Fury, then reached out and grabbed it lightly under the table, and three eavesdropping devices of different shapes were thrown on the table.
Well, Tony one, Bruce one, and the last one should be Su Ruifang.
He said to Fury:
“It’s really a headache and annoying to deal with these clever and overly smart guys.”
“But they are the only ones who are capable of getting involved.”
Fury sighed, he looked at Merlin and said:
"Now I need to wait for the news... Oh, by the way, I gave the name to the brewing consortium."
"Omnica Group, what do you think?"
Merlin rubbed her chin and savored the name:
"Are you able to do anything?"
Chapter completed!
