"Damn it! Why hasn't this guy Allen arrived yet? He couldn't have forgotten the time he agreed with me, right?"
Looking at the dark grocery store in front of him, Tony·Stark, who had been waiting for almost half an hour, subconsciously took out his mobile phone and wanted to dial one of the emergency contact numbers.
His patience has never been very good.
And there are always others waiting for him. This is the first time that he has to let go of the pigeons by himself.
Just when his finger was about to press down, the lights of the grocery store suddenly brightened, and the closed door opened.
"Sorry, I just went to Kamar-Taj and accidentally communicated with Sorcerer Supreme for a while."
Allen Although he said "Sorry" on his lips, the expression on his face was unapologetic, and he just stood at the door casually.
In fact, he deliberately let Iron Man stand for half an hour longer, while he hid in the dark and observed with great interest the other party's crazy appearance.
Fortunately, Tony·Stark did not notice the flash of playfulness in Allen's eyes, and asked very curiously, "Looking for Sorcerer Supreme? What did you talk about?"
"We talked about some topics about time." Allen replied with a shrug.
"Time?!"
Tony was stunned when he heard this word.
Because he didn't understand at all that two of the most powerful mages in mankind, when they got together, they didn't talk about mystery and magic, but instead talked about an extremely complex and entangled topic like time.
Allen smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's time. In this exchange, I got a lot of inspiration and gained a new understanding of the relationship between time and the universe. Well, you are not interested in this topic anyway, so come in quickly and pick out what you want. I believe that after I have been away for so long, the magic metal reserves you have on hand should have been exhausted long ago. What's more, I don't want to be photographed by those annoying reporters and media, and I will have to cleanse their memories one by one."
"That's true."
Tony nodded happily, took Pepper's hand and walked in.
Although a few years ago he still enjoyed standing in the spotlight, accepting interviews from various media, and making headlines from time to time.
But with the intervention of capital forces in the past two years, and their systematic suppression and smearing of Captain America, Iron Man has seen the true nature of the other party, leaving only endless disgust and disgust.
Even though major capital media have been praising him recently, he just doesn't accept any form of interviews, and he doesn't even appear in public.
"Long time no see. I heard Tony say that you went to the universe?" Pepper Poz took the initiative to say a few words in a polite tone.
As Iron Man's close girlfriend and business partner, she has seen the terrifying thunderstorms that gather when Allen is angry, and she is very clear about the amazing and terrifying power hidden in that short body.
"Yes. I teamed up with an alien lifeform that looked exactly like a raccoon and called himself Rocket, and another Treants named Groot to reward Gold Hunter. Later, I also participated in the destruction by the way. Kree Empire's actions. This is a very interesting experience. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will introduce them to you. You must know that Rocket is a true master of mechanical manufacturing. He can easily make a bomb that can sink a warship with a few batteries and metal garbage."
Allen did not hide anything. He openly told what he had done in the universe and what kind of people he had met.
Of course, he deliberately ignored the parts related to Power Stone and Thanos.
"A raccoon? Are you serious?"
Tony·Stark, who was shopping for magic metals on the shelves, couldn't help but interject.
Allen smiled and asked, "Do you think I'm joking?"
"Well, this universe is really crazy. There are intelligent creatures that look exactly like raccoons." Tony complained softly.
He had an extremely funny feeling when he thought about cute creatures like raccoons that could walk upright on two legs and be proficient in various advanced technologies to make weapons and explosives.
In order to prove that what he said was true, Allen took out the personal terminal used during space travel and directly projected the appearance of Rocket and Groot.
moment!
A furry and very short raccoon and a tall and strong Treants appeared out of thin air in their sight.
When Pepper saw Rocket for the first time, he subconsciously covered his mouth and exclaimed, "Wow! Oh my God! It's so cute! Which race was born on this planet of your companion?"
Allen corrected meaningfully. "No, he is not a naturally born intelligent creature, but was created through extremely cruel biological experiments. In the vast universe, there are many civilizations that have very advanced biotechnology, and creating life is as easy for them as eating and drinking."
"Like those Inhumanss created by Kree on human beings for experiments?" Tony·Stark asked with a serious expression.
"Almost. You can understand that in the eyes of advanced civilizations in the universe, the earth is a bit similar to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Europe treats Africa, the Americas and Southeast Asia the same as the natives. In their eyes, such backward Earthlings is not worthy of being called a "human" at all, it is just an animal similar to a human being. It is as if the "noble" white people were God's chosen people and deserved everything on earth. Do you still remember how the Europe people treated the indigenous people in these places?" Allen said with a touch of ridicule.
"Wars, conquests, plunder, colonization, and genocidal massacres. Well, it seems that we are not qualified to blame Kree." Tony·Stark sighed helplessly.
Compared with what the Europe people did from Age of Discovery until modern times, Kree's experiments with primitive humans on the earth to create Inhumans is really not that crazy.
At least they are far from causing tens or even hundreds of millions of human deaths.
"So in my opinion, the essence of civilization and rule is violence, and all morality and laws are external means to fool ordinary people. Although it looks glamorous, if it encounters real violence, it may not last even a second and will collapse. Just imagine, is there any precedent in human history that overturns violence through law and morality? The answer is no! No! Violence can overturn morality and law, but only violence can overturn violence. If you really want to change the world, you must start by mastering violence."
When he said these words, Allen clearly "saw" the restlessness and uneasiness deep in Iron Man's heart.
You don't need to ask to know that he is one of the few people in the world who really wants to promote the establishment of a united human government.
Among them, Ultron Project is a test of International Security Council.
If successful, he will become the sixth person in addition to the five most powerful countries on earth to have the power to change the world situation.
"I will seriously consider it."
Tony·Stark pondered for a moment and quickly nodded solemnly.
After a while, he took a large number of magic metals with different properties from the shelves, as well as some materials and gems necessary for enchantment.
The total amount is enough to create a magic Iron Man Armor of about one thousand.
In addition, this guy also chose a ring with protection and teleportation functions for Pepper.
With the frequent occurrence of supernatural events on the earth, and Hydra lurking around the world, Iron Man is more concerned about the safety of his girlfriend than ever.
If possible, he even wanted to send Pepper·Boz to Sky City to live there.
When I first wanted to buy a piece of real estate, I had this in mind.
After all, there is no safer place in this world than Aelionteu.
But unfortunately, Allen has no plans to sell Sky City real estate, let alone accept too many outsiders.
Even Mantis currently has a temporary residence qualification.
After paying the money, Tony·Stark obviously felt relieved, and then continued to test, "How have you considered what I told you last time?"
"You mean about Supreme Intelligence?" Allen stared into Iron Man's eyes with a half-smile.
The latter nodded without thinking, "Yes! That's it. I need this advanced super artificial intelligence with the ability to learn and update itself."
"You have to understand that Supreme Intelligence later made Kree High Council an empty figure, allowing them to worship themselves like gods. To put it bluntly, the so-called Kree Empire is a puppet government under the control of Supreme Intelligence. All Kree are like bees or ants in a colony. Worker ants and worker bees only know how to mechanically obey the decisions and orders given by Supreme Intelligence. I don't think that with the current level of technology and development of mankind, we can control such a powerful artificial intelligence. Compared with Supreme Intelligence, your J.A.R.V.I.S. is like a fertilized egg, and it has not even begun to hatch."
Allen pointed out the problem without any hesitation.
As the saying goes, if you take a big step, you will easily get caught.
The development of science and technology is never achieved overnight. It needs to start from basic science and extend to practical applications.
If something goes wrong in the middle, the technology tree will be skewed.
What's more, even Sky City, a super artificial intelligence with independent consciousness and thinking ability like Supreme Intelligence, dare not easily create and put it into use, let alone a relatively backward Earth.
And even if there were no accidents when Tony·Stark made Ultron this time, Ultron did not have the idea of destroying mankind, but faithfully performed the duties of the original design.
Then the final result will be the same as Kree Empire.
After all, laziness is human nature.
When an artificial intelligence that is absolutely rational and can ensure the rapid development of society and technology is put into use, the most likely thing is that humans will leave more and more complex and heavy tasks to it, and they will slowly lose their thinking and management capabilities.
Such a self-destructive human society is not what Allen wants to see.
But Tony·Stark obviously didn't think so, and still insisted. "I will not give artificial intelligence too much autonomy and decision-making power like Kree. At any time, it will only play an auxiliary role, not replace human beings in making decisions. Don't worry, I know what I am doing."
"Are you sure?" Allen raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Of course! Very, very sure!" Tony·Stark answered directly in the affirmative.
You don't need to ask to know that he is determined to build a super artificial intelligence to defend the earth, and he will not look back until he hits the wall.
"Very good! I hope you don't regret the decision you made. Here, here is the core information you want about Supreme Intelligence. After reading it, destroy it physically immediately. I don't want this stuff to be spread everywhere."
With that said, Allen gave the other party a special memory the size of a palm.
Tony took it over excitedly, briefly looked at the interface, and asked in an uncertain tone, "What storage medium and reading method does this thing use?"
Allen replied nonchalantly, "Biotechnology! In fact, Supreme Intelligence is not a semiconductor or quantum computer as you think. On the contrary, it is a living biological computer. Kree When originally created it, they put all their science, philosophy, military, ideas, etc. into it. To put it simply, they were trying to create an omnipotent god that transcended themselves. I hope the same mistake will not happen again with you."
"Biological computer? That sounds very challenging! Thanks for the reminder, I'll pay attention."
Tony·Stark felt like he had found a treasure. He was in an extremely excited state and did not listen to Allen's warning at all.
After all, that's what his character is, proud, arrogant and defiant.
Unless you taste the bitter fruits you have sown, you will never be able to self-examine and reflect.
"Just take care of yourself. If something goes wrong this time, I won't wipe your ass for you."
After saying this, Allen raised Teuchi, snapped his fingers, and teleported Iron Man and Pepper directly from the grocery store back to their new home.
Looking at the familiar layout around him, Pepper Poz opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief. "I... we returned home directly from New York? Is this a magical teleportation?"
"I don't know. I didn't feel the fluctuation of magical energy. Maybe it was some other special ability. Damn, this guy is getting more and more invisible."
Tony had obviously been used to it for a long time. He immediately took the memory in his hand and went straight to the underground private laboratory.
He can't wait to see what the core technology of Supreme Intelligence is.
In contrast, Pepper is very interested in the protective ring he just got. He is constantly testing its defense power and teleporting over short distances. He is as happy as a child who gets a new toy.
As the saying goes, if you are not one of the same family, you will not enter the same family.
In terms of life, the two have many similarities.
It's just that they didn't notice each other.
