A year ago, in order to take out the terrifying Cybertron Megatron, also known as Magtron, Merlin used the Cybertron artifact Tinder Source as bait to lead Magtron into the trap of the Berserk Attack.However, the ambush eventually went wrong, and in a desperate situation, Magtron personally exploded the source of the fire, causing the huge Cybertron energy to be dispersed around the world.After the end of the war, the World Security Council conducted a one-month investigation into Merlin's case, and finally under Pierce's protection, Merlin was cleared of all responsibility.But now that the problem has arisen, the World Security Council must find a way to resolve it.Merlin himself believes that he has his own responsibility in this matter, so he keeps track of it outside of work.And Fury didn't hesitate too much, and handed over the handling of this matter within S.H.I.E.L.D. to Merlin.Fury knows Merlin well, a subordinate with a strong sense of responsibility who will not turn a blind eye to the trouble he has caused.At present, within the World Security Council, these activated mechanical beings are referred to as "intelligent machines" to distinguish them from the Cybertrons.In fact, in addition to the first batch of sapient machines activated by the shards of the spark source, robots like Lola and Horus, which are almost identical to the Cybertrons, the second batch of sapient machines activated by the Tinder energy scattered around the earth are probably completely different from the Cybertrons because of the lack of energy gained.As far as Merlin knew, some of the second batch of intelligent machines, which were also scarce, had lost their ability to shapeshift.In the 8th month after the explosion of the Cybertron Tinder Source, the third batch of intelligent machines born in the third large-scale energy disturbance in the fire-contaminated area were basically no longer able to deform, and their appearance was closer to that of humans.They are like a group of self-intelligent robots that have broken away from the Cybertron life form and become a new kind of mechanical life.And now, in the results of the investigation of this matter, there is good news and bad news.The good news is that with the birth of batches of intelligent machines, the energy scattered on the earth by the source of fire is also dissipating, which shows that the energy that can give the machine real life will one day disappear invisible.And bad news and good news go hand in hand.According to the current speed at which the spark energy dissipates and the speed at which intelligent life is born, in Icarus's calculations, when the spark source energy completely disappears, it will give birth to at least 2 million self-aware robots...
Attention, is the least!
If the share of energy given to each intelligent machine continues to decrease, then the number of robots that are spawned is estimated to increase several times."
To put it simply, I think they're the difference between military and civilian supplies."
In the hall of the Pagassos base, Merlin and Fury walked up the stairs, while sticking their hands in their trench coats, their faces were full of indifference, and the director of the boiled egg with a blindfold explained: "You can think of it this way, Fury, just compare it with the third-generation intelligent machines we are currently containing, they have no companion weapon systems, and their bodies are completely made of metal at about 2 meters, which can easily suppress our soldiers in battle...
Think of them as military supplies. ”Fury nodded, the contrast was easy to understand, and he motioned for Merlin to continue."
I'll give you an analogy, for every one of these energies, you need to give it 10 energy.""
But in fact, if it is simply to make a piece of mechanical metal animate, it does not take 10 points, according to my current calculations, it may take 2-4 points of energy to activate a 'civilian product', I mean, it is weaker than the current third-generation intelligent machine, and it may not even be able to defeat the military, the kind that ordinary men can kill with weapons."
Merlin waved his hand and said to Fury: "It's equivalent to reducing the quality, but increasing the quantity, if this situation is expected to occur, then the number of 'civilian goods' intelligent robots we will face in the end is likely to reach 5 million...
This is a conservative estimate. ”"yes, I see."
Fury nodded, and as he walked forward, he said to Merlin, "But sheer numbers don't make sense, and if the 'civilian goods' that continue to be born after that start a mess, then we only need to send an elite army to deal with them easily, right?"
”"Theoretically, that's so."
Merlin pushed his glasses, and he said to Fury, "But you overlooked, Fury, mechanical life is characterized by being better at using data and mechanical tools than we do, and those civilian intelligence machines may not be good at fighting, but they can increase their strength by crafting more vassal weapons...
You don't think they even know how to use guns, do you?
”"One more point, about the existence of mechanical life."
Merlin held out a finger and shook it at Fury, and said, "Mechanical life will not die even if it is dismantled, as long as they still have the data module, they can be reborn in a different body, which is an advantage that we can't match." ”"So, I've raised the threat level of the Robotics Crisis that could break out in the future from S to SSS, I mean, I think we really need to take this seriously, at least from now on."
Fury nodded, he fully understood what Merlin meant, he turned his head to look at Merlin, and he said, "I know you're not a bastard who only asks questions and doesn't solve them.If you come and talk to me about this, that means you must have a solution, right?
”He raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and said, "We still have some time."
Let's talk about it in detail. ”Merlin glanced at Fury, he looked around, and said, "I'm more curious about why you called me here...""
You'll find out in a moment."
Fury gave a strange smile as he leaned against the railing and urged, "Tell me what you think, the World Security Council will meet in a few days to discuss this...
If your proposal is good enough, maybe we can get enough initiative in this matter. ”Speaking of this, Fury sighed, he said: "To be honest, I am indeed a little uneasy to leave this matter to the governments of the world to deal with freely, politicians think about the problem from a different angle than us, they are not professional after all...""
Okay."
Merlin reached out and pushed his glasses, and the next moment, the projection device on the Icarus frame turned on, and a small stereoscopic projection appeared in front of Merlin and Fury's eyes.It was an unfolded map of the world, with Merlin marking completely different symbols in the locations of the 24 severely infected and 16 mildly infected areas.He stretched out his hand, pointed to an infected area on the North American continent, and said to Fury, "My idea is simple, instead of waiting for the intelligence machine to break out, let's start intervening now."
Coulson gave me an initial suggestion, I refined it, and now I have two ideas. ”"First of all, the birth of intelligent machinery requires raw materials, and if there are not enough metals and machinery within the range of energy disturbance, these energies will instinctively spread farther away."
Merlin stretched out his hand and made a burst gesture, and he said to Fury, "And the greater the spread, the smaller the energy dispersed on each activated intelligence machine, and the weaker the intelligence machine is born."
That's where we can operate. ”"Set up a storage base at the edge of each infected area, place a large number of scattered mechanical raw materials in it, and empty the metal materials in the infected area as much as possible, so that the rhythm of the birth of every intelligent machine life is in our hands.This would weaken the intelligence and make containment easier. ”"Of course, this idea is a bit too idealistic, it requires a lot of resources and government support, and it doesn't work for all infected areas," Merlin said. ”Pointing to Germany, Russia and South Korea, he said: "For example, here, the Eichenwald region in Germany, the Caucasus region in Russia, the infected areas in the South Korean Peninsula, and so on, these places are already in densely populated areas or have an industrial base, and these countries are not going to be able to relocate people from these areas because of future disasters." ”"Hmm...," Fury looked at the world map in front of him, rubbing his chin, and said, "Yes, this can be submitted to the World Security Council, and I think they will accept it."
What about the second suggestion?
”"The second is for these infected areas that are not easy to deal with."
Merlin moved his fingers as he said, "My idea is that you can suggest that these countries reorganize large industrial zones in infected areas.What I mean by this is that if the birth of intelligent machines is unavoidable, then it is necessary to control the new intelligent machines as soon as possible. ”"The government will come forward to set up a national industrial park with an official nature, on the one hand, to avoid the impact of the news of smart machines on the social order, and on the other hand, to curb the possibility of smart machines hidden in human society.""
Wisdom machines have their own minds, and when they were first born, their minds were like blank sheets of paper, and if they could communicate well, then they could be placed on the spot, I mean, to become workers in industrial parks, or whatever."
Speaking of this, Merlin smiled, and said to Fury: "Replace flesh and blood life with intelligent mechanical workers, to achieve the dual result of population migration and containment, a group of workers who do not need to be paid, I guess those capitalists will be happy." ”"What else?"
Fury's one-eyed spark of thought shone as he asked, "Your advice is very practical, but I still have some doubts, about the existence of the Intelligence, you know, we can't keep the news from it, the people will know about the existence of the Wisdom Machine." ”"Well, I've thought about that too."
Merlin said succinctly, "But this one is easy to solve.The people's concern comes from their ignorance of intelligent machines, they will see intelligent machines as another life form, and they are worried that these new beings will impact their lives, so in terms of propaganda, we need to change this definition, I mean..."
Merlin pushed his glasses, and he said slowly: "From now on, find some social activists, find a few scientists, some capitalists, to advocate the technological trend of artificial intelligence and robots." ”"Get people to accept the existence of intelligent robots and think it's a good thing."
He snapped his fingers and continued: "This is a rehearsal, a kind of psychological implication, once this ideological transformation is completed, we don't even need to wait for it to be completed, as long as there is a part of the people who support this trend, then we can release the news about the intelligent machine little by little." ”"Of course, in this propaganda, there can only be one explanation for the appearance of intelligent machines...
It was humans who created them. ”Merlin emphasized: "They first appeared in human society in the form of tools, not as independent life forms. ”"And then find some human rights activists, women's rights, animal protection organizations, environmental protection organizations and so on, and let them come forward and fight for the rights of intellectual machines...
Anyway, they have a very idle day, and they wish there was this kind of thing to increase their popularity. ”"I don't think I need to say the rest, you should be better at this than me, I won't do it."
Merlin shrugged his shoulders as he looked at Fury, "In my plan, there's only one focus...
It must be done gradually, not to make the people disgusted or afraid of the intelligent machine, and most importantly, to stop the possible signs of violence within the intelligent machine in time, they all have the ability to think for themselves, and I hope that this matter will end peacefully. ”"So what I mean by this is that when necessary, we can elect pacifists, moderates like Professor Charles, from within the intellectual community, as we do with mutants."
Merlin waved his finger and said: "It may take years, even more than ten years, for a machine leader with enough prestige, a leader of a machine who is willing to integrate into the human order, and lead the machine to become a member of the human order, but I believe that as long as the World Security Council does not fool around, this matter is not as difficult as we imagined." ”"You expect them not to fool around?"
Fury chuckled, and Mr.
Director seemed very uneasy about his superiors, and said, "Well, I'll submit your proposal to Pierce, and I'm sure Pierce will agree to the plan."
You're really impressing, Merlin, the agent who always tried to solve everything with his fists in the past, has grown to the point where he can plan such a plan. ”The director reached out and patted Merlin on the shoulder, and he said, "Alright, it's almost time, come with me." ”"What are you going to do?"
Merlin said, "Is it finally time to reveal the secret you've been keeping secret?"

That's what I'm looking forward to. ”Although he was expecting, in fact, Merlin's tone did not fluctuate, like a stick reading, Fury did not answer him, instead, he led Merlin all the way to a control room, in front of the two of them, there was a monitor, and on the screen of the monitor, it was a very strange scene.It was a house, and the overall layout was what it looked like in the 40s of the last century.And on the bed in that house, a blonde man in a vest and military trousers was lying there, seemingly asleep.Merlin's eyebrows furrowed at the sight of the man's face, and he looked back at Fury, and he said, "He's waking up?"
”"Hmm...
His physiology had normalized, his brain waves were active, and Dr.
Foster told me that he was awake..."
Fury looked at the monitor, and he said, "It's been a few hours." ”()
