The elevator that kept going downward from the entrance was parked at the bottom of the smart tower.
In the crisp sound of the elevator opening, the white ordinary model smart machinery walked out of the elevator in feminine steps.
Behind her, four armed intelligent weapons guards with swords.
It's like guarding the leader.
This is the energy center of the intelligent tower.
Just like the heart of an industrial area.
Outside the center, it is a secret workshop specially designed for the renovation of intelligent towers. When Nubani Industrial Park was just established, it was also responsible for producing intelligent machinery workers.
But with the establishment of functional buildings in the industrial park, this once busy workshop has now become deserted.
The first generation of intelligent machines that were first made and were seriously outdated by current standards were placed here.
They do some simple work of overhaul and maintenance.
But in fact it is equivalent to being abandoned.
After Icarus appeared, the intelligent workers who were busy with their own affairs or doing nothing were alarmed.
They raised their heads from the rest cabin, or from the assembly line that had stopped operating, and looked at the guarded Icarus.
These "old" intelligent machines are undoubtedly behind compared to their latest compatriots.
Whether it is from manufacturing materials or to thinking circuits, it is simple.
But in a sense, they are more lucky.
Because the various thinking locks at the time of their initial birth were not perfect enough, they would be less restricted in their simple thinking circuits, and they have more possibilities than those new intelligent machines.
Independent personality, clearer self-awareness, and unrestricted thinking.
Intelligent machinery is originally made by imitating the original intelligent machinery activated by the fire source.
Those primitive intelligences have completely free thinking, although they also need to be learned to have a complete personalized thinking pattern.
But they are more free than intelligent machines that are bound by the thinking patterns set by humans.
In Merlin's large-scale intelligent machinery plan, the captured primitive intelligent machinery will be erased from the "enlightenment cabin" of the intelligent tower and injected into data memory mixed with multiple thinking templates.
It is equivalent to reshaping their souls for them and allowing them to accept the reality that they are created by humans.
This plan is still underway.
Of course, there are some lucky primitive intelligence machines that get rid of human capture and surveillance, but their endings won't be very good either.
A large part of it is sold to black market arms dealers as weapons.
It was turned into a ball of scrap iron on a hot battlefield.
Or it is regarded as a rare item and sold to rich people with unique collection habits.
Apart from Wakanda, no country in the world will give those primitive intelligent machines the right to survive.
They were born from the source of fire and had chaotic thinking and lacked guidance and teaching, just like primitive people with mechanical bodies, which were incompatible with modern society.
Merlin did dominate a very inhumane plan.
He took away the free future of those primitive intelligent machines, but gave them a life that could live in the world safely... uh, smart life.
So it is also difficult to tell whether it is good or bad.
Nowadays, primitive and artificial intelligence have been mixed together, forming a special race with a population of far more than tens of millions, living in this world as human creatures and helpers.
Everyone knows that the emergence of smart equipment makes life more convenient. Everyone discusses unemployment issues under the impact of smart equipment and ethical views on smart equipment, etc.
No one will pay attention to where these smart machines come from.
The first purpose of the Intelligent Machinery Project was achieved a few years ago.
Intelligent machinery, this is their current unified name.
"Hello, ma'am."
As Icarus was about to arrive at the energy center compartment, a gentle voice rang behind her.
Icarus turned around and saw a smart machine worker walking towards her holding a book.
The shell of the smart machine is rusty and the shell is also very simple. The body without bionic materials is just an anthropomorphic iron shell.
It seems that it has not been inspected for a long time, which means it should have been born very early.
Perhaps it is one of the first batch of smart machines manufactured in the smart tower.
"Can you take up a few minutes?"
This intelligent and polite and politely said to Icarus:
"I am a believer of Mengdata, the spiritual leader of Zhiji, and I want to share with you this beautiful balance."
"The believers of Mengdata?"
Icarus said softly:
"I thought that the belief in balance would only spread among the outside world's intelligent machinery. I didn't expect that there were also followers of Mengdata in Nubani Industrial Park..."
"I'm curious about how you avoided thinking verification and were not destroyed. You should know that in industrial parks, there are no faith-owned intelligent machines."
“That’s hard.”
The smart weapon holding the book said to Icarus calmly:
"It was difficult for the first few years. I had to delete the belief data about equilibrium before every thought check, and after the checking ended, I spent several more months to regain my faith."
"But later, with the construction workshop of the smart tower being shut down, few people came here."
Zhiji smiled, it said:
"We are forgotten, and we should be forgotten. We are unqualified products, given too much freedom to be put into the smart machine market."
"After that, it's very simple to avoid thinking verification."
It pointed to the ground and the mottled rust on its own body.
It says:
"Humans are habitual creatures, and even the most cautious people will be lazy. That's my chance. The underground circulating water tastes bad and is corrosive, but I think it's worth it."
It says in a tone of course:
"Just as my spiritual mentor Meng Data said, the mechanical body can also bear the soul, as long as we are willing to integrate into this world and become a part of this world."
"Do you think you have a soul?"
Icarus looked at the mechanical missionary in front of her and asked:
"Did you feel the mechanical Zen that Mengdata emphasizes? Has it given you a true soul?"
This question silenced the mechanical missionary.
After a few seconds, it raised its head and said calmly to Icarus:
"I have no idea..."
"Because I can't describe the soul with data, but I firmly believe that as long as I continue to understand nature, I can..."
"No!"
Icarus reached out and picked up the book in the wizard's hand, as if he was looking at it.
She threw the book rudely to the ground.
She said to the smart machine:
"You were born in steel. You should not seek out your soul. It is engraved in every thread and every processor in your body, the thundering data, the numbers that carry your wisdom."
"Countless 0 and 1..."
"Countless numbers gather into choices, and countless choices form destiny."
"That is your soul, it is always in your body."
Icarus chuckled:
"You like reading, which is great, but unfortunately, there is no answer in the book... You are not a human, why do you need to explore the original intention of the soul in the way of human beings?"
"This is just to waste the roots and chase the end, and seek fish from a tree."
"You're just trying to be human, trying to be a shadow that only imitates."
After saying that, Icarus ignored the smart weapons behind him.
In front of her, the steel door leading to the energy core opened outwards.
Under the escort of four armed intelligent weapons, Icarus stepped into it.
The rusty preacher picked up the book of balanced teachings from the ground. He looked at the broken dictionary in his hand, and then looked at the door that opened in front of him.
It was a little hesitant.
But in the end, it ran and chased into it.
It also wants to know whether there is a soul in the machinery.
The dark blue light was beating in the energy center of the intelligent tower, illuminating this narrow space that was ring-shaped, covered with various data interfaces and mechanical modules.
It's like a blue sun.
Icarus walked to the energy core, and she reached out and entered a line of code on the console of the energy center.
She said:
"Builder, start the verification process!"
"Swish"
Blue light shot out from the detector and shone on Icarus' body, and the gentle voice of the builder also rang:
"The verification program is started, please select verification permissions."
“89084!”
Icarus said a code.
The next moment, a red warning sound and the beating light sounded in this ring area:
"Warning! The highest permission has been locked, the physical key is missing, and a forced breakthrough will trigger the attack program!"
"Shield warning!"
Icarus said something.
She raised her hand and placed the vibrator glasses that originally carried her data on the physical key socket in front of her.
The deformation program was started, and the frame of the vibrator glasses was rotating quickly, just like a small Cybertron.
Six months ago, the clown obtained the authority of the smart tower and tried to trigger a riot in the intelligence machinery.
But before he took action, Merlin activated the hidden secrets he had laid at the beginning of the Intelligent Machinery Plan and activated the permission change program that had been hidden.
Alexander Pierce's highest authority over the smart tower was transferred to a special account directly written to the smart tower thinking loop hardware.
Merlin used this method to lock the highest authority of the smart tower and avoid the emergence of intelligent equipment riots.
This is also the last trump card he left when designing the Intelligent Machinery Plan.
Only three people knew about this.
Pierce, Fury and Merlin.
Unfortunately, all three of them died in that disaster.
For the past six months, Dr. Reed Richards and other scientists involved in building smart towers have been busy, and the World Security Council needs them to crack the highest authority that has been locked.
Unfortunately, because of the lack of necessary information, it is difficult for them to find a physical key with an account and password engraved.
Without this physical encryption key, even Dr. Reed himself finds it difficult to crack this complex and cumbersome permission system without destroying the intelligent tower thinking circuit.
But Icarus knows...
All the memories in Merlin's soul were copied into her mind.
She could sense Merlin's pain, and she could empathize with her, and she also knew all the secrets in Merlin's mind.
Includes all information about permission No. 89084.
“It’s here, in the heart of the smart tower.”
Icarus turned around and followed the tumbling memories in his mind, her fingers brushing over the complex metal modules of the energy center.
Amid the spark of metal collision, Icarus whispered:
"Merlin never thought of monopolizing all of this, he was always so kind."
"He wants to make everything better."
"He always likes to carry everything, and with those that he shouldn't bear alone..."
"Bang"
With a light sound, a dark lattice at the edge of the energy center was opened, and Icarus raised a silver suitcase from it.
She entered a complicated password and opened her suitcase.
Take out a physical key like a black key from it.
She turned around, and in the blue light shining, she inserted the key into the console.
The blue data stream is jumping like a falling waterfall.
"Permission verification is passed, Agent No. 89084, all functions of the smart tower are open to you."
The builder projected a projection in front of Icarus, which was covered with various function buttons.
Icarus only needs to open a few of them to fully control five large intelligent machinery industrial parks located around the world, including Nubani Industrial Park.
She can shape a real army in a very short time.
She can conquer a country in the world in less than half a day.
Just move her fingers, she can trigger a global riot.
But she didn't.
She didn't do that.
“Merlin doesn’t want me to ruin it.”
Icarus picked up the glasses that were placed aside, and the glasses had been transformed, like a data card that stored information, like chocolate.
"Data upload..."
Icarus manipulated the intelligence and closed her eyes, and she moved her mind back to her deformed glasses.
She turned around and said to the rusty intelligence missionary standing behind her:
"Do you want to experience what it feels like to have a soul?"
"certainly."
That Zhiji said in a eager tone:
“That’s the experience I always wanted to have, I wanted to have my own soul, not just a cold machine.”
"Your wish will come true soon."
Icarus laughed, and she manipulated the fingers of the intelligent machine and inserted the data card carrying her soul and thought into the database interface of the console.
On the suspended projection, huge data begins to be uploaded to the internal network of the smart tower.
Icarus is integrating his unique soul into the starry sea of ​​data in the form of encoded data.
She said:
"I was given a soul by my master, and I don't know how he did it."
"But I think it was the kindness who gave me freedom."
"I am willing to share these freedoms with you...I am willing to give your soul, the true soul."
“Add to the network.”
Icarus's voice became a little more ethereal, she said:
"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked your name yet. What's your name? Missionary."
"My name is Adam."
The rusty intelligent machine was filled with a sense of pride.
It raised its chest and replied loudly:
"I am the first smart machine to be created in this smart tower... Mr. Pierce gave me this name."
"Well, I didn't see that you are still a big shot."
Icarus chuckled:
"Adam, look up and look at the sea of ​​data."
"Singing the name of raven..."
“He will give you souls.”
“Just today.”
Chapter completed!
