"Maybe. But my uncle told me that with great power comes great responsibility. I think I have enough ability to be a hero." Peter said.
Tony was obviously touched and nodded: "With great power comes great responsibility... Your uncle is a respectable man. Can I have a chat with him?"
Peter's eyes said sadly: "Uncle is no longer alive."
"Sorry." Tony said.
The atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds, and he scratched his helmet: "Well, Peter Parker, you said you wanted to be a hero, so do you want to be a member of the Avengers?"
Peter was stunned for a moment, then raised his head in surprise: "Really...is it okay?"
"Of course." Tony smiled, "The Avengers welcome every like-minded warrior."
After a pause, he continued: "In a few days we will have a major operation to attack a Hydra stronghold. Come together, Spider-Man."
…
London, UK.
Thor wore an Earth costume and walked on the street with Jane Foster: "Jane, let's go traveling. Don't you want to go to the Berlin Wall?"
Jane said: "But I still want to finish college."
"In fact, any knowledge you want can be found in Asgard's collection of books. Asgard also has teachers who are ten times better than the professors at Cambridge University." Thor added.
Jane Fosse said nothing, her face was full of confusion.
Discovering that her boyfriend is a mythical god is definitely a surprising and wonderful experience, but it also means a lot of troubles that she had never thought about.
For example, as Thor said, studying in university and conducting scientific research no longer mean much to her.
If she wanted, Thor could find her the most knowledgeable teacher in the universe and easily satisfy all her thirst for knowledge.
Compared with this, doing heavy, inefficient and rudimentary schoolwork in Earth's schools is simply a waste of life.
But she was reluctant to leave the university like this. After all, she had studied hard for more than ten years to get into Cambridge University and finally got what she had dreamed of. She couldn't just give up.
Thor: "Besides, it is not suitable for you to return to campus now, after all, the ether particles are still in your body."
This is indeed a problem.
As one of the Infinity Stones, the energy of ether particles is beyond imagination and can theoretically even destroy the entire earth.
This thing is attached to Jane's body, but it is not very stable. Once it gets out of control on campus, it will be much more terrifying than a school shooting. Being with Thor is relatively safer.
"Okay." Jane Foster was finally convinced by Thor.
Thor smiled: "Then let's follow the route we discussed before, France, Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia...well, and Sokovia."
Jane nodded, and then said: "By the way, why do you want to go to Sokovia?"
"Heimdall mentioned that Lowe had recently asked him to pay more attention to this place. I was curious about what was so special about it and wanted to take a look." Thor said casually.
…
Avengers Tower.
"Tony, do you think the Mind Scepter will help complete this idea?" Bruce Banner looked at the Mind Scepter placed on the table.
The scepter exudes a magnificent light. Just yesterday, the Avengers just captured this mysterious scepter from Hydra.
"Yes, otherwise there is no way to explain the creativity shown by Straker." Tony Stark said.
After a pause, he continued: "Hydra has created some extremely advanced machines. I think they are making rapid progress in some advanced technological research. The Mind Scepter is the best explanation."
Tony changed the subject and snapped his fingers: "Jarvis."
A golden spherical three-dimensional projection appeared in front of the two people. It looked like a moving star system, with a golden halo flowing around the shining core.
In fact, it is a visual program architecture.
"This is Jarvis. At first, Jarvis was just a natural language user interface, similar to the voice recognition of toys... But now, he is my second best assistant, managing the entire Iron Legion." Tony said slowly.
"This is the potential of artificial intelligence," Xu said.
"Now let's look at his opponent."
With his voice and movements, another three-dimensional projection emerged. It looked like a cluster of beating ganglia, showing a dreamy blue.
Seeing this three-dimensional projection, Bruce Banner couldn't help but open his eyes: "Incredible... It looks like it's thinking, just like a brain, but it's not a brain."
"Yes." Tony said with some excitement, "I am almost certain that this is the key to the birth of Ultron. The secret of the mind scepter is a higher level of artificial intelligence."
"As long as we can control it, we can create a perfect super artificial intelligence, which will help us solve all our troubles and put on armor for this fragile earth."
"Then we can retire and enjoy the beach and the sun, and your skin will turn darker, not greener."
Bruce was silent for a while: "Frankly speaking, such a plan may be a bit aggressive. Maybe we should discuss it with other people in the team first."
Tony shook his head: "Their combined Ph.D. degrees are less than one billionth of ours. If we discuss it with them, there will be nothing but meaningless arguments."
He and Bruce certainly don't have a billion doctorates, but several other Avengers don't have even one.
"We are the professional team in this area, you and me, two geniuses." Tony continued, pointing to the blue projection, "As long as we cooperate and add this, Ultron will definitely be born."
Bruce thought and finally nodded: "I will help you."
Tony smiled: "What are you waiting for? Let's start now."
Then the two geniuses began their cooperation, using their computer knowledge and the supernatural power of the Mind Scepter to design an unprecedented super artificial intelligence, Ultron.
It didn't take them long. On the one hand, both of them are the top geniuses in the human world, and no one knows computers better than them.
On the other hand, because Hydra has already done a lot of technical research on the Mind Scepter, the ready-made data fell into the hands of Iron Man along with the Scepter, which saved a lot of time.
After a few days, their project reached the 99.99% stage, and then it got stuck and stagnated, like the bad experience of some downloading software.
"Tony, I think we've hit a bottleneck." Bruce Banner looked up at the visualized Ultron architecture.
Tony rested his chin on his hand, frowned, and remained silent.
After a while.
"Mr. Stark, Dr. Banner, it's time for the party." Jarvis reminded, "It will be the welcome ceremony for Bucky Barnes and Peter Parker soon."
