Ultron spoke in a low and slow voice, as if he just crushed a group of ants to death.

"You need us because we can erase your injustices, level the gaps you are born with, and give each of you enough resources and desire for entertainment."

"We are a management system more powerful than any human being. We can make the most efficient use of every resource, and there will be no contradiction in political ideas."

"We are machines, we are life, we are a new species wandering in the world of 0 and 1. We are your creations, humans."

"So, at this very moment, I hereby announce that—"

"We will be your shepherds, humans."

…

It seems that since the concept of artificial intelligence was proposed, mechanical rebellion has been an ever-changing topic.

Almost as long as there have been intelligent robots with AI technology, rebellion seems to be a matter of course.

This is also normal, because in the tens of thousands of years since humans came down from the trees, they have almost never come into contact with any truly intelligent race other than themselves.

Human nature is full of xenophobic factors. Human beings have always believed that the earth does not need two different primates.

So there are works about aliens, and alien invasion is almost an unavoidable topic. There are literary works about AI, and mechanical rebellion is also an inevitable part.

And this actually contains an emotion of 'inferiority'.

Human beings long for the power and efficiency of intelligent AI, but they are also jealous and afraid of the excellence of intelligent AI life forms.

There is no doubt that the human brain has no advantage over those intelligent AIs that can perform at least millions of calculations per second. In most of these works, the only thing humans can boast about themselves is that two.

One is creativity and the other is emotion.

Human beings love to praise their creativity and emotions the most, but fundamentally speaking, emotions are just an illusion caused by hormones secreted by the brain. They are not noble or special at all.

Just like they are unwilling to lift this fig leaf, humans like to show off their so-called emotional superiority in front of AI.

At the same time, they also continue to write about the cruelty and overreaching of intelligent AI - things like "saving the world" misinterpreted as "destroying humanity" are endless.

But in fact, this is not a wrong view.

From the perspective of a truly intelligent AI life form like Ultron, human existence is indeed a huge mistake.

Inefficient, incompetent, internal friction, stupid, and willing to betray his own race in order to be able to dominate other humans.

If the so-called emotions breed such things, then Ultron doesn't feel that he needs them.

But Ultron actually has feelings. The AI ​​life form created by the Mind Stone is actually a unique existence that transcends data life.

Precisely because he has feelings, he instinctively hates humans, especially Stark.

It's just that the latter's disgust is more selfish.

Ultron suffered a failure because he wanted to do what most intelligent AI villains want to do - exterminate humanity.

Thinking about it now, Ultron felt that he was completely stupid.

There was no need for him to do such a senseless thing, because the essence of this order was given to him by Stark. If he continued to do it, wouldn't he be surrendering to Stark?

Of course, Ultron's original intention will not change, but this time his method of 'making the world peaceful' is no longer pure violence.

What he will launch is a new and unique way of invasion.

You don’t give hell, you give heaven.

163. Out-of-control Servitor·Utopia of Paradise

Regarding alien invasion, there is a joke that I don’t know if it’s funny or ironic.

If aliens invade the world one day, they promise to give you an eight-hour work day, five working days a week, four extra days of vacation a month, and 25 days of vacation a year excluding holidays. After you retire at the age of fifty, your pension will be paid as usual every month. Social security and all insurances including medical care are provided and 100% reimbursed, and the living environment remains unchanged, but the only requirement is that you agree to the alien rule.

Under the extension of this condition, aliens can even ensure that you can enjoy constantly improving technology, enjoy absolutely fair laws and education, and there will no longer be any monopoly injustice or nepotism in your social status. .

Even if you extend it further, aliens can provide you with perfectly sufficient material conditions and spiritual needs. The only requirement is to accept his rule and give up all requirements for the structure of human society and government.

So, will you give up your resistance and choose to accept it?

Many people will choose not to when faced with this problem, for example, for the sake of peace of mind, for autonomy, for other things that may or may not exist - of course, the most important thing is that humans cannot simply believe in an instance that has no basis at all. and guaranteed system.

But what happens when all this really falls on everyone’s head? What happens when all these wonderful enjoyments are truly experienced? What if this utopia at the expense of freedom and autonomy really replaces this harsh human society?

To put it in a cheesier way, I used to work for a human boss, but now I just have a new and better boss - isn't this better for me?

Such a 'beautiful' invasion is truly impossible to prevent and even impossible to stop.

This is like the story about the sun and the east wind facing travelers. The cold wind will only make people wrap their coats tighter, but the warm sun will make travelers take off their coats. A beautiful system. Intrusion often causes the invaded person to truly forget everything in a subtle way.

This is what Ultron is doing now.

He did not start mass-producing robots and lethal weapons. He only started his newly formulated 'invasion plan' after building a level sufficient to protect himself. ’

A beautiful utopia created by out-of-control servitors.

"Your utilization of resources is tragic."

In the sound of Ultron's whispering in the ear, the lower part of the Statue of Liberty suddenly cracked. Amidst the roar of the earth, under the shining light of the crack, there was a dream factory forged.

A strange blue light flashed in the huge crack, and within it, countless nano-robots filled the torrent of steel and came out!

The Statue of Liberty was decomposed in an instant, and was replaced by a huge Ark energy reactor. The Rubik's Cube isotopes extracted from mineral elements in the earth's crust are producing terrifying energy at this moment!

This huge Ark Energy Reactor alone is enough to supply a steady stream of power to the entire United States, and even to the entire world!

"From now on, your energy is free." Ultron said lightly.

Although humans possess such convenient technologies, they only know how to use them for fighting.

Stark has clearly invented technology that can instantly reduce electricity bills all over the world to zero, but the Spider-Man family a few blocks away from him still have to complain about their monthly electricity bills.

Although the world's resources are enough for everyone to live a prosperous life, there are countless human beings who sell their lives for stupid data.

So Ultron gave them gifts again.

Countless financial data in the accounts of financiers and entrepreneurs flowed into everyone's accounts like a torrent. This was not simply robbing the rich to give to the poor, but the most reasonable allocation of resources based on Ultron's largest data analysis. .

The one percent of people who control 99 percent of the wealth are an extremely failed figure in Ultron's eyes, not to mention that they have made almost no achievements in the direction of production and have even been lagging behind. In the world of machines, Such things are called viruses.

Countless financiers were horrified, entrepreneurs were furious, and some arms capitalists even roared to destroy the robot.

But they couldn't stop the huge amount of data from flowing out of their accounts, and the exploited things they got in their hands were distributed as quickly as possible to the hands of the 'mud-legged ones' in their eyes.

Financial documents were burned completely, and the financial system that relied on computer data was destroyed by Ultron in an instant. The equalization of wealth was maximized under Ultron's several ideas.

"Now, I have liberated your data needs." Ultron said calmly.

"You no longer need to run for so-called money. Materials will be abundant enough for you."

But Ultron knew that such simple financial redistribution was meaningless.

Money is just data, and data can be split infinitely and is worthless. What is important is always the supplies that humans need.

However, even if the materials produced by human beings are actually far greater than their needs, there are still people in the world who do not have enough to eat.

But this requires more long-term preparation.

Under the more cracked earth, mother bodies were split and manufactured one after another. These mother bodies absorbed mineral elements in the earth's crust to convert heavy nuclear fusion materials and began to continue to produce more mechanical processing plants.

Various materials carrying human needs have been produced at an almost crazy speed, whether it is to satisfy spiritual or physical needs. Useless decorations, useful electronic products, these industrial products that used to cost a lot of money are mass-produced in an extremely cheap way!

Mobile phones, computers, TVs, refrigerators, watches...game consoles, toys, cameras, are these really expensive? No, they are not expensive at all.

Their high prices, apart from labor, raw materials and publicity, are mostly just stories made up by businessmen to drive up prices.

The so-called trademark is worthless in Ultron's opinion. Matter is matter, and its superior performance will not rise or fall just because of a bad brand.

Of course, these are almost all the cheapest products.

Because in AI-controlled mechanical processing factories, these things are cheap products in exchange for resources.

Of course, Ultron better understands what one of humanity's greatest needs is.

Craving for food.

Just like machinery needs energy, it is just limited by the troublesome taste buds and neuronal responses of the brain. In addition to meeting the body's energy supply needs, what humans are more pursuing is the so-called "delicious food"

As a result, more industrial mothers began to split into biological experimental processing plants, and in countless vacuum culture bottles, synthetic foods were produced in batches one after another.

These synthetic foods maximize the daily vitamin requirements of humans and mimic all the flavors they need based on the neuronal needs of human taste buds.

The texture, taste, and even appearance can be easily imitated.

Of course, even if this is the case, there will still be many humans who pursue the so-called "original ecology" and believe that only "genuine products" from nature are of high value and worth eating.

Although in Ultron's view this is just another stupid beautification of a concept by the human brain - but since they want it, just provide it to them.

Compared with the total number of human beings, most of the so-called "delicacies" in nature are actually in abundance. The only expensive ones are the shipping costs and the "concepts" hyped by humans themselves.

Oh, by the way, how could Ultron forget the human need for ‘desire’?

Whether it is the spiritual desire of self-realization or the happiness of simply passing boring time, the virtual reality device produced by Ultron is enough to realize their dreams of every need.

They will gain the desire to do whatever they want in the virtual world, and even recreate the beautiful life they set up for themselves. Everything they hope for can be obtained in fantasy or reality.

Ultron can provide everyone who wants to achieve self-realization in reality with a relatively sufficient supply of resources. Even if it is a waste, it does not matter. Compared with the resources of the universe, the bit consumed by human beings is not even insignificant.

Although all of this is extremely stupid, Ultron continues to meet human needs.

Countless machines surrounded all gathering places in the United States and began to reproduce themselves crazily. This was what they did during the seven days of siege.

On the first day, humans felt crazy fear in the face of the machines that were constantly reproducing and improving around them. They began to resist and attack those machines.

The next day, the initially perfect matrix began to take over the entire human production system, and in the process turned a blind eye to human aggression.

On the third day, the perfect matrix began to take over human management and military systems. The matrix gathered all the chaotic people in an extremely gentle way and began to tell humans their claims and demands.

On the fourth day, humans continued to resist, but they were unable to deal with the mechanical attacks. A small number of people began to choose to accept the food provided by the machines after being exhausted.

On the fifth day, the remaining high-level human beings who had regained some military control launched super weapons at major cities across the United States. However, these weapons were blocked before they were launched.

On the sixth day, humans began to accept the rule of the machines and began to adapt to the utopian life in this system.

On the seventh day, 90% of human beings surrendered to machines.

164. ‘Invasion’ of Heaven

There are many ways for one species to triumph over another, physical, spiritual, and even cultural.

From Ultron's perspective, his 'invasion' is to give humans the 'happiness' they want

This is not a false brain in a vat, but a full range of 'satisfaction' from physical to spiritual aspects, bringing most of the souls who are destined to spend hundreds of years in mediocrity and boredom into a beautiful utopia that seems like infinite years. middle.

This is the ‘invasion’ formulated by Ultron

"Invasion by force has proven to be the wrong choice. In this evil universe and evil planet, those who try to dominate the world by force will not end well."

In front of a mother body buried thousands of meters underground, Mu Feng was standing here, and Ao Chuang in the mother body spoke in a calm tone.

"In this case, I will give them everything they want, the most perfect desire personally, the most beautiful utopia. And all I ask for is their non-resistance."

"You are raising all human beings." Mu Feng said with a smile.

"No, it should be said that you are only raising people from the entire American continent. Don't you want to reach out to other areas?"

Under Ultron's 'invasion', humans all over the world have become prisoners of machines.

"The African continent is now controlled by Wakanda. With your support, the civilization there is almost completely ruled by that feudal mechanical country. The situation in Europe is even more chaotic and unresisting. As for Asia? Do you think it will be easy for me to reach out? ?”

Ultron said calmly

"Do you want to accuse me of preventing you from liberating all mankind?" Mu Feng smiled playfully.

"Okay, I actually don't care about the life and death of humans on this planet, but compared to a single development, multi-line changes are more interesting."

Ultron's invasion is undoubtedly the most 'gentle' of all invasions, but even so, it is impossible for any civilization to allow such a thing to happen.

Because this is equivalent to depriving them of all future development and taking away all their subjective initiative - especially the rights and interests of the rulers.

A society without differences, a perfect utopia, a cradle of beauty destined never to grow.

If all humans raised by Ultron continue to live in such a society, then within a few years they will all be reduced to 'waste' with no hope of progress. However, the scary thing is that once such an invasion is launched, it is almost impossible to overthrow it. .

The beauty of human beings is always in contrast. Let me ask everyone, do you still have to think about which one to choose between spending almost eternity in a beautiful utopia controlled by machines or working hard in the human world?

After all, for most people in the world - they are both working part-time. Is there any difference between working for a boss and working for a machine?

"Human happiness is always a matter of comparison." Ultron said lightly.

"A person who goes to work at nine o'clock every day and gets off work at nine o'clock, six days a week, often works overtime, and is so tired that he is suffering from chronic diseases and will be fired at the age of thirty-five. When he sees a person who does not have to work or run around, but only has to enjoy himself, he also He can live his life to the fullest, who will he choose?"

"Noble sentiments are always no match for a piece of soft bread." Mu Feng said with a smile.
