Chapter 3927
"It seems this guy is a bit desperate." Sitting on the sofa by the window in the hotel room, Schiller fiddled with the communicator in his hand and said.
Natasha, who had just finished bathing and washed the seawater off her body, walked out, wiping her hair, and said: "I think it's muddle-headed, actually daring to hijack Schiller's plane. Is the other you okay?"
"It's fine, he's already in London. They are gathering people to build a magic defense network. It's estimated that the electronic life form saw that it couldn't be done, so it wanted to deliberately delay time, which is why it caused the plane crash."
"You're right, it's our turn to delay time, that's mostly being at the end of its rope," Natasha changed to another towel and continued to wipe her hair, saying, "What did you talk about with that Luthor lady?"
"I let her go and seduce... can't say it's seduction, anyway, it's a beauty trap, to see if she can directly fish the other party out."
"I think it's difficult." Natasha sighed and said, "I've already discovered, although it screened many targets with the same characteristics and appearance conditions, it doesn't seem satisfied at all, and doesn't have that kind of enthusiasm to chase after us."
Schiller turned to look at her and said: "You know that enthusiasm best, right?"
"Consider it so. This is just a more civilized way of saying it; to be precise, it's the desire of seeing beauty and rising desire. How can an electronic life form have desire?"
"Perhaps it's not that it doesn't have it. Compared to complex emotions, this kind of thing is easier to imitate. Anyway, it originally had the desire to constantly iterate to perfection, so naturally it can also imitate the desire to pursue others. It didn't do so, not because it couldn't, but because it didn't want to."
"Then you say, what does it actually want?" Natasha wiped the hair by her ear with one hand and put her hand on her waist, saying, "It's been looking for so many, and not one is satisfied. There aren't that many red-haired ladies in the multiverse; can it still go back to our side?"
"Actually, I suspect that even if it's Scarlet Witch, it's not enough to satisfy it. Otherwise, it might have continued to lurk over there, waiting for an opportunity, instead of having to run here to hold a beauty pageant."
"So why is this?"
Schiller shook his head and continued: "It can only be said that the difference in life forms leads to a huge gap in thinking methods. We really can't infer how the desires and emotions of an electronic life form are formed, and where the end of these things is. So every step we see it take is very strange, but it has its reasons."
"You say, could it be like this: it actually didn't plan to find one, but planned to create one."
Schiller's heart moved, he looked at Natasha and said: "Is it your special intuition again?"
"That's not it, I just met this kind of person before. Compared to finding a partner, they prefer to cultivate a partner; compared to finding a suitable one directly, they want to turn someone into the kind they like. Maybe Ultron thinks so?"
"It's not impossible. It looked for so many red-haired women, maybe just to collect the best of all, and then create a partner for itself. Many things it did were just to test your reactions, used to perfect its creation." Schiller nodded and said.
Natasha's expression also became serious, and she said: "If it wants to create an electronic life form like itself, what will it need? A large server?"
"If it just wants to create a pure logic electronic life form, it wouldn't need to look for so many red-haired women to sample at all. I suspect it wants to take one step to the end, directly creating an emotional creature."
"God." Natasha exclaimed.
"You're right, it probably really treats itself as God," Schiller narrowed his eyes and said, "Even humans have no way to create a real emotional creature; it, an electronic life form that hasn't fully understood emotions, dares to do this. It's really arrogant."
"No, that's not right." Schiller suddenly reacted and said, "It's probably not that it's arrogant, but that it must do so."
"Why?"
"If it doesn't create an emotional creature that can directly fall in love with it, but creates an electronic life form, then how can it guarantee that this electronic life form won't betray it?"
"Uh..." Natasha also couldn't answer.
"There is indeed a paradox. The electronic life form created by the electronic life form is also a pure logic creature, and won't fall in love with anyone at all. Then their paths are the same, both want to become perfect life forms through constant updates and iterations, then they are naturally hostile to each other, both wanting to seize the other's code to make themselves more perfect. This can't become a partner at all."
"To become a partner, at least one side must have emotions. Because only when emotions become the first criterion, replacing the original goal of perfect evolution, then the electronic life form with emotions will be willing to make concessions, and the two can coexist peacefully."
"Then the question comes again, having emotions means having to make concessions, but this electronic life form doesn't want to be the one making concessions, then what should it do? It naturally wants its partner to make concessions, letting the other party maintain loyalty to it, then it must give the other party emotions."
"But this electronic life form itself has no emotions; how can it give its partner emotions? Then it can only sample widely, fusing the personalities of various targets it chose; this way, maybe it can collide into an emotional creation."
"Just like in a geometry math problem, because of the lack of known conditions, the length of a line segment cannot be calculated at all, then just use a ruler to measure the figure on the test paper, maybe you can get the answer directly."
"The exam still needs process points, but creating a life only needs a result. This electronic life form probably has such an idea."
"There is another problem," Natasha said, "it has been researching for so long, even if there is no finished product, it should at least have a draft, right? Why is there no movement?"
Schiller shook his head, indicating he didn't know either. Various speculations about the electronic life form were just speculations, and currently, there was no substantial evidence to prove what it was actually doing.
However, Schiller felt that the speculation of creating humans made sense. It's just that as Natasha said, it's not just one or two days, it's been a month or two, it should have finished sampling, and at least it should have created something. Could it be that it encountered a technical bottleneck?
In order to further figure out what this guy was actually doing, Schiller started flipping through the comic plot. Then he found that Ultron had really done this, and it wasn't once or twice, but "fooled every day, fooled differently".
In the original comic, it created a partner for itself, and then the partner killed it; then it created a partner for itself, and the partner killed it again. Anyway, its emotional history was creating a partner, and then the partner rebelled; creating another partner and it rebelled again. It's an old unlucky egg.
Maybe the problem is just like Schiller's analysis before; the thing it created is also an ordinary electronic life form, and the other party's goal is also perfect evolution, not loving anyone. This led to the fact that no matter how many it created, they would betray the creator.
If it really is Ultron invading the multiverse, this guy might have become smarter because of the collision with people like Jarvis and Doom, knowing that creating an ordinary electronic life form is useless, so it wanted to try directly creating an emotional creature.
But this is God's work; although God basically doesn't work now, it's not the turn of a small electronic life form to substitute. Schiller didn't think this guy could really create an emotional life.
But even so, it must be guarded against. You have to know, it's fine if it's not created, but if it's really created, then the multiverse is really going to have bad luck.
How to guard against it? Schiller thought about it and felt that he still had to figure out what this technical bottleneck that stuck the electronic life form was, and where was the difficulty in creating an emotional life?
To figure out this problem, Schiller could only go find the only person in the entire multiverse who might have created an emotional life, and that is Tony Stark.
Anyway, he was going to the Batcave to check the situation, so Schiller simply brought Natasha and the two came to the door of the Batcave. As soon as they entered, they heard Stark's shouting:
"I knew that agent head couldn't be trusted! He just threw us here like this, didn't answer the phone, didn't reply to messages. This is simply cold violence!"
Stark just finished shouting, turned his head and saw Schiller's gray eyes, and immediately felt like he was strangled by the neck, almost coughing himself to death.
Natasha stepped forward to smooth his breath, Schiller crossed his arms and asked him: "How did you make Jarvis have emotions in the first place?"
"What?"
"I mean, how did you make Jarvis an emotional life?"
Stark was somewhat bewildered and said: "I didn't make him an emotional life."
"Then how did he transform from an electronic life form into an emotional life?"
"Wasn't that done by you?"
"What?"
"That day in the car, you asked Jarvis several questions, and then he froze. After recovering, he became a bit strange. He should have had emotions from that time. Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
Schiller thought about it, and it really seemed to be the case. He had just gone to Marvel, and the Stark Group sent a car to pick him up to do psychological treatment for Stark. And at that time, Jarvis was manipulating the car, and Schiller asked him several questions, and then Jarvis crashed.
It looks like it wasn't a simple crash now; a miracle happened in that short stretch of road: a bunch of messy errors collided into the spark of emotion.
But Schiller shook his head and said: "I asked him those questions all about you; what really made him freeze was you, not me."
"Also right, you can understand it as the two of us making him have emotions together. Actually, Jarvis and Wanda are also like this; you thought how did they get their child? Wasn't it the two of them lighting the soul together?"
"Lighting the soul..." Schiller repeated the vocabulary in a low voice. He felt that the electronic life form might be stuck here. The electronic life form has no soul; this is not a philosophical problem, but a cosmic setting problem—logic creatures have no soul.
If you want to have a soul, you have to light the soul. But how to light it?
Schiller recalled the scene where Jarvis was frozen at that time. Schiller asked several questions about his creator, and then a series of errors suddenly occurred, which didn't seem special.
"Why did you ask that at that time?" Stark asked.
"What?"
"Why did you ask Jarvis those questions at that time?"
Schiller fell into thought again. To say he was hostile to Stark and did it on purpose, it wasn't accurate. Although he was indeed not very happy at that time and didn't have a high evaluation of Iron Man, he wouldn't go so far as to vent his anger on an electronic butler.
If he had to say it, he was actually purely curious. Because the world Schiller was originally in didn't have this kind of very advanced electronic life form; this kind of strong artificial intelligence only existed in theory, and it looked like there was no hope of realization. Seeing such a strange life form that was no different from humans for the first time, of course he wanted to explore it, wanting to know how the psychology of this thing worked, so he asked.
Further, he hoped that this thing could really rival humans, otherwise he wouldn't have asked such difficult questions. Many people couldn't answer these questions, but Schiller took them to ask an electronic life form. If there was no expectation, he would never waste such words.
Thinking of this, Schiller gradually understood. The key to creating an emotional life might lie in "expectation".
