Chapter 358 Chapter 632 Chapter 633 Creating a new AI for the [PPDC Organization]
"Next, as long as the time is right, the entire [S.H.I.E.L.D.] will be at my disposal..."

Eddie Brock sat on the sofa, picked up the wine glass and took a big gulp. The wine flowed down the corners of his mouth, but he had no intention of wiping it.

Instead, he stared intently at the TV, which was broadcasting the news on the "Clarion Daily Channel," as if that was his imaginary enemy, and then muttered to himself with a grim smile:
"Karl Mara, just wait for me. We will meet again soon."

"But this time, I will use my actual actions to make everyone understand one thing: those who look down on Eddie Brock will pay a heavy price!!"

…………

……

[PPDC Organization] In the laboratory at the headquarters.

It is spacious and bright here, with various instruments and equipment flashing indicator lights and making slight buzzing sounds.

Tony Stark, who had just arrived, was wearing a stylish suit and holding a cup of steaming coffee. He drank it boredly while jokingly saying to Reed Richards, who was sitting in front of a computer not far away wearing blue light blocking glasses and working hard like a "coder":
"So... in other words, this time, Nick Fury and Stek Pentecost have officially made peace for some unspeakable reason?"

He raised an eyebrow, a playful smile on his lips.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I remember not long ago, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the PPDC were secretly fighting over funding ratios and other issues... I didn't expect them to put aside their differences so quickly and work together to develop the Titan Hunter Mech Project. Congratulations!"

Tony Stark said as he began to pace around the lab, the coffee cup in his hand swaying slightly with his movements.

Reed Richards, who was constantly debugging data on his computer, pushed up his glasses and stared intently at the data on the computer screen, continuing to type on the keyboard without looking up. "From what I understand, it seems that the influence of the last 'Titan Cataclysm' that occurred in [Washington] has forced these two stubborn guys to join forces."

Obviously, the two stubborn guys he was referring to were Nick Fury and Stek Pentecost.

"I don't think it's that simple?"

Tony Stark sneered, then took out a high-tech 'crystal plate phone' from his pocket and tapped it lightly.

Then, a holographic projection was used to project in mid-air the scene of the corpses of several [Titans] including [Ghidorah] being publicly auctioned at an auction site, as well as a long string of astronomical figures.

The holographic projections were so lifelike that it seemed as if the auction scene had been moved into the laboratory.

"Not long ago, in order to successfully acquire the remains of these Titans from the Subspace Corporation, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the PPDC spent a fortune, spending tens of billions of dollars... Tsk tsk, that's enough for me to build more than a dozen new sets of Mark Armor!"

Tony Stark shook his head, a trace of emotion on his face.

Although he is a real tycoon, he still thinks carefully before making such a big move worth tens of billions of dollars.

After all, the landlord’s family tradition is not blown directly by the wind, right?

"Besides, I originally wanted to participate in this auction and buy a Titan corpse for fun? But Nick Fury told me I had to give up..."

It is not difficult to hear from what he just said that Tony Stark is very disgusted with Nick Fury's strong tactics.

After all, he is not an employee of S.H.I.E.L.D., so isn't this black guy meddling too much?

"If you're complaining about not receiving consulting fees for this recruitment."

Reed Richards finally raised his head, pushed his glasses down, and said sarcastically with a gloating look, "I suggest you go directly to Nick Fury instead of complaining to me here!"

"Oh, come on!"

Tony Stark waved his hand dramatically upon hearing this. "Nick Fury is a classic miser, incredibly stingy... He hasn't even paid for the design of the standardized upgrade plan I developed for the Helicarrier's power system."

As he spoke, he paced back and forth in the laboratory, his leather shoes making crisp sounds on the floor.

"But then again..."

Tony Stark suddenly stopped, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Reed Richards with interest. "I remember you were busy developing that space exploration project before. How did you get brought here?"

Reed Richards' fingers paused on the keyboard, and a helpless smile appeared on his face... It's all tears if I talk too much!
He couldn't possibly tell Tony Stark that he didn't want to join S.H.I.E.L.D., and was finally "invited" back by Nick Fury using threats and inducements, right?
"Ahem." Reed Richards coughed twice and cleared his throat to hide the embarrassment on his face. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get down to business..."

"This time, our mission is to help the [PPDC Organization] develop a new type of intelligent AI specifically designed to assist the pilots of the [Titan Hunter Mech] in combat."

"Wait a moment."

Tony Stark raised his eyebrows, his eyes revealing a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction, and asked with a somewhat strange expression, "Nick Fury and Sturk Pentecost don't trust me?"

"Huh?" Reed Richards was stunned by the other party's sudden words. He asked in confusion, "Tony, why do you say that?"

Tony Stark unconsciously raised his voice a few notches, and replied in a somewhat hostile tone, "Otherwise, why don't they just buy artificial intelligence from me?"

"Besides Jarvis, I also have several other combat-tested AI assistants."

"Tony, don't worry."

What Reed Richards really wanted to say in his heart was: Tony, you are right, they... no, actually it is Nick Fury who does not trust you, so this time he specially asked me to lead the development of this new AI artificial intelligence.

But obviously he couldn't say that, nor did he dare to say that...

After all, his life and future now rested in Nick Fury's hands. He quickly tapped away at the keyboard, then pulled up a video of the Battle of Washington on the large screen in front of him. "Tony, take a look at this... During the Battle of Washington, the MUTO Hunter exhibited many serious problems."

What was playing on the big screen was the horrifying scene of [Scylla] using [liquid nitrogen] to freeze the cockpit of the gigantic [MUTO Hunter Mech], and then using its tentacles to forcibly stuff the two pilots into its mouth from the outside and devour them.

"Help me..."

"Commander Stek, save us..."

Inside the cockpit of the MUTO Hunter, two pilots cried out in terror, their voices echoing in the laboratory, giving people a chilling feeling.

After the cockpit was destroyed and the two pilots were swallowed up, the entire [MUTO Hunter Mech] immediately lost power and collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut, raising a cloud of dust.

"If something happens to the Ranger piloting the mech, the entire Hunter Mech will completely lose its combat effectiveness."

Reed Richards' tone gradually became serious. He stood up, walked to the big screen, pointed at the screen, and said earnestly:

"So Mr. Stek Pentecost hopes that we can use [Jarvis] as a prototype to develop a new AI intelligent system that can autonomously take over the mecha and continue fighting in critical moments when the pilot is forced to go offline!"

"So..." Tony Stark pinched his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said thoughtfully: "They actually want a more powerful version of [Jarvis]?!"

"No." Reed Richards shook his head decisively, his expression serious and determined. "What they need is an upgraded AI that is far more powerful than [Jarvis]!"

"I've calculated before that the information processing capacity of the Titan Hunter Armor is at least hundreds, if not thousands, of times greater than that of the Mark Armor."

"Such a high-density data torrent is simply unbearable with Jarvis's current underlying architecture..."

Tony Stark's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this. His originally cynical look instantly became serious, and there was even a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

He nodded continuously and said, "Reed, you're right. In fact, not only does the [Titan Hunter Mech] need a new AI, but even my [Iron Legion] also needs a new AI butler that is more powerful and more comprehensive than [Jarvis]."

"Huh? What is the [Iron Legion]?"

Reed Richards looked at the other party with a puzzled look on his face, his eyebrows twisted together, his eyes full of curiosity. No, man, what new tricks are you going to do this time?
Tony Stark smiled mysteriously, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "This is a great idea that I've recently come up with... I want to use my [Mark Armor] as a prototype to create an army of intelligent robots with autonomous defensive capabilities to prevent threats from aliens and protect the safety of Earth."

As he spoke, he gestured with his hands in front of him, trying to use words and actions to show the other party the powerful mechanical army he had begun to build.

"However, as the number of members of the [Iron Legion] gradually increases, the problem of [Jarvis]'s insufficient computing power becomes increasingly obvious. Obviously, its current computing power is not enough to support the scale I envisioned..."

At this point, Tony Stark's expression became a little solemn. He paced back and forth in the laboratory, as if thinking about the solution to this problem.

"And your words just now have just enlightened me. If we can create a more powerful intelligent AI and apply it to the Iron Legion, all problems will be solved."

He suddenly stopped and looked at Reed Richards with a confident smile on his face. "Of course, this way, Nick Fury and Sturk Pentecost won't have to pay me any extra consulting fees!"

"Uh... so you're planning to use the bus for personal purposes? But you don't want Director Nick Fury and Mr. Stick Pentecost to know?"

Reed Richards asked uncertainly, a hint of worry in his eyes.

"That's absolutely right, but do you know why?"

Tony Stark didn't shy away from the question and said bluntly, "Because I don't have time to engage in a 'campaign debate' with the two of them, and I don't want to hear anyone telling me that 'this practice is against the rules' and other nonsense..."

"My vision is to protect the world to the best of my ability. I don't want the scene of the Battle of New York to be repeated... and my armor and machines are my most loyal soldiers!"

His voice was firm and powerful. Reed Richards looked at him with a hint of sympathy, his eyes full of concern. "Tony, you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself."

"For a playboy... no, I mean a scientist worth over 100 million, you've done pretty well."

"I believe that protecting this world is not something that can be accomplished solely by one person or one organization... Sometimes, letting go can be a wise decision."

"For example, the alien invasion that occurred in Greenwich and the demonic invasion from Hell that occurred in front of the Empire State Building... Weren't they perfectly resolved by Mr. Karl Mara and the Subspace Corporation without the involvement of S.H.I.E.L.D."

Reed Richards tried to persuade Tony Stark in his own way not to put too much pressure on himself.

"Do not."

Tony Stark interrupted firmly, "On the question of how to protect the Earth, I agree with Nick Fury... We both don't trust Karl Mara!!"

As if he was unwilling to dwell too much on this sensitive topic, Tony Stark changed the subject and began to paint a rosy picture for Reed Richards, just like a gold medal lecturer in a pyramid scheme.

A warm smile returned to his face. "Reed, use your brain and imagine boldly."

"If this idea of ​​mine ultimately succeeds, then the next time an alien army invades Earth, there will be no need for the Avengers or the Subspace Corporation to intervene...

Even if we just lie on the sunny beach, drinking [margaritas] and enjoying the sunbathing and the beauties in bikinis, those intruders will be beaten to a pulp by my 'intelligent steel guards'.

"I always believe that this fragile blue planet we live on needs my plan to protect it!!"
