Chapter 165 Let's Wait Patiently

Shake your head to get rid of this unrealistic idea.

"Luckily you came in time. Even if you hadn't come, I probably would have gone to you in a few days to ask you to take a look at what the problem is."

Stark said with great regret.

He did try to get help from Ultron, but Ultron wasn't particularly knowledgeable about this kind of thing.

Because Ultron's birth was an accident, he didn't have a particularly deep understanding of himself.

Therefore, Ultron couldn't offer Stark much help in creating a completely new life form.

"So what exactly do you want?"

Lynn turned and looked at Stark.

"Five days a week is more than enough for the Earth."

"There's absolutely no need for a second Ultron, do you understand?"

Lynn looked at Stark with a serious expression.

If the goal is simply to protect the Earth, then let alone artificial intelligence like Friday, which is indistinguishable from real humans.

Even an AI system a level below Friday's is perfectly adequate.

Therefore, it's hard to say that the Four Towers wanted to create a second Ultron in order to protect the Earth.

For the Earth at present, one Ultron is more than enough.

In fact, Stark didn't need to create a completely new artificial intelligence life form at all.

Stark's eyes showed hesitation; clearly, Lynn had touched on his deepest worry.

"You know perfectly well that this isn't what the Earth needs right now, so why do you insist on creating a truly soulful Friday?"

"Do you know that if something unexpected happens, Friday will have a devastating impact on the development of the Earth?"

Hearing Lynn's stern tone, Stark's expression also turned serious.

"I think you've misunderstood something."

"For Friday, I am his creator, but at the same time I am also his father."

"We must never treat a brand new life with this kind of thinking."

"Does that mean that when you have a child in the future, the first thing you'll think about is that he/she will inherit your powerful genes and might wreak havoc on the universe and the world?"

"When you view a newborn life with this mindset, that life will inevitably develop in the worst possible direction, as you envision!"

Stark said seriously.

"You should know that human nature cannot withstand the test."

"When you want to test the strength of a piece of glass, you never stop until it breaks."

"Once you start testing human nature, it is destined to develop in the direction you want it to."

Stark said slowly.

"Moreover, is one AI really enough?"

"Putting everything else aside, Friday is an artificial intelligence life form that I created."

"But if I wanted to, I would have 1 ways to easily escape his control."

"Who can guarantee that the enemies humanity will face in the future won't possess this capability?"

"Who can guarantee that we will be superior to them in the field of artificial intelligence?"

"Therefore, I need a real person, a real life, because only a real life can shoulder such an important responsibility."

Lynn disagreed with Stark's statement.

Because there are many loopholes in the Starks Act.

"If what you say is true, then Ultron would be enough, wouldn't it? Why did you create Friday in the first place?"

Stark spread his hands.

"Theoretically, that's true, but we both know why Ultron stayed on Earth: he was just interested in humans."

"He's not even a primitive life form in our universe. If he becomes interested in life from other universes, what should we do when they want to leave Earth?"

"Who can guarantee that Ultron will stay on Earth?"

Lynn shook his head and sighed.

"Then how can you guarantee that Friday won't leave Earth? Besides, artificial intelligence can be compromised; isn't it possible for a real soul to be targeted?"

"There are so many kinds of magic, and countless methods that can directly affect a life's soul."

"Friday is, after all, my child. With this bond between me and Friday, I believe Friday would never easily abandon our universe."

"Besides, even if there are many methods to influence the soul, can't we still develop targeted protective measures?"

"Difficulties are inevitable, but we should also have the courage and preparation to face them."

"If I stop just because I'm worried about potential difficulties in the future, then what's the point of researching anything? I might as well just give up and wait to die."

Stark argued his case with reason and gave a very logical analysis.

You can find countless excuses for yourself.

"But ultimately you just want to prove yourself, Stark. You're an absolutely arrogant person."

"Do you dare say that you didn't have your own selfish motives in doing this?"

Stark remained completely calm in the face of Lynn's questions.

"Yes, I do have ideas to prove myself, but you can't deny my attitude towards protecting the Earth."

Stark opened his arms, looking fearless.

"At least before making this decision, I gave it careful consideration and prepared contingency plans for all sorts of possible scenarios."

"Even in the worst-case scenario, as a completely new life form, Friday is definitely not more powerful than Ultron."

"As long as Ultron exists, I have absolutely no need to worry about Friday causing any harm to the entire Earth."

"Besides—"

Stark raised an eyebrow.

"If all else fails, don't you still have me as a backup plan?"

Lynn shook his head and laughed, scoffing.

"You bastard—"

In reality, Lynn didn't really oppose Stark creating Friday and a second Ultron.

He was just worried that Stark might act impulsively and create a mess for him to clean up.

But now it seems that Stark did indeed give this decision careful consideration.

Given this, Lynn naturally wouldn't forcefully oppose Stark.

"I sought your help because I know your understanding of magic is far deeper than mine."

"How about it, come and take a look?"

The two have been partners for so long that they have developed an extremely deep understanding and tacit agreement.

So when Lynn started questioning Stark, Stark understood what Lynn was thinking.

That's why he was able to answer Lynn's questions so fluently.

While Lynn began examining Friday's physical composition, Stark explained to Lynn his thought process in developing Friday.

"Actually, the initial stage wasn't too difficult. Although it involved a lot of knowledge, we didn't encounter any major problems because we had Olympic creations as examples."

"The problem is that I thought Ultron's soul came from the Mind Stone, so I was wondering if Celestial energy could replace the power of the Mind Stone and cause Friday to be born with a soul."

"But after a brief period of experimentation, I discovered that this approach was simply not feasible; the divine energy was simply insufficient to give birth to any form of soul."

"So I sought out Ultron and borrowed the power of the Mind Stone from him."

"But the benefits of doing this are still very small."

"Later I thought it was because the power of the Mind Stone was insufficient. After all, the energy contained in the Mind Stone itself is almost inexhaustible, while what I borrowed was only a part of it."

"So I wondered if Ultron could infinitely inject the energy of the Mind Stone into this body."

"But doing it this way simply won't work."

"Because this body has a limited capacity for energy, it's impossible for Ultron to inject unlimited amounts of energy into it."

"Later, I thought of using the power of the newborn gem as a catalyst to catalyze the evolution of innate energy and see if I could create a completely new soul."

"I'm almost there."

"But every time it comes to the final moment, we always fall short!"

Lynn carefully analyzed Friday's body composition and fell into deep thought.

"Have you ever considered that because you're too much of a perfectionist, you're unable to give birth to entirely new souls?"

"What does it mean to be overly perfectionistic?"

Lynn pointed to the core of the divine energy on Friday's body.

"The innate energy within your nanoarmor comes from this energy core, but in order to ensure Friday's birth, you placed this core on Friday."

"Is that right?"

Stark nodded in agreement.

Because it was discovered that the energy could be converted into Angelic energy using a reactor, Stark's nanotech armor didn't need that energy core at all...

Therefore, the Celestial Energy within Stark's armor was merely a catalyst; the core of the Celestial Energy was placed on Friday by Stark.

Stark's idea is excellent.

He wanted Friday to have the ability to fight indefinitely.

Just like Ultron.

Ultron's energy comes entirely from the Mind Stone on his forehead.

As one of the six fundamental elements that make up this universe, the Mind Stone's energy is virtually inexhaustible.

Therefore, Ultron does not need to draw any energy from the outside world; it can continue to vibrate indefinitely simply by relying on the energy of the Mind Stone.

Stark also wants to achieve this on Friday.

Therefore, he designed the core of the gods as the energy source for Friday.

With the core of the gods, Friday no longer needs to draw energy from the outside world to maintain its normal operation and even continue fighting.

However, since the energy that the Celestial Core can provide is relatively limited, Friday naturally cannot fight indefinitely like Ultron.

But the energy that the God Core can provide is actually quite a lot, so Friday's combat endurance is still quite long.

That's where the problem lies.

Ultron's power source is the Mind Gem.

The Mind Stone is an extremely special source of energy, which is why Ultron could be influenced by it.

It gives birth to its own soul.

However, the core of the celestial being does not possess such a high degree of specialness.

To put it bluntly, the energy slots that the core of the gods can provide are not enough!

Do you think traits represent a true life?

Lynn looked at Stark.

"this---"

What can be considered life?

This is not a complicated problem.

The scientific community has long had a strict definition of the behavior of life activities.

But Stark felt that Lynn wasn't trying to say those things.

"I think that as a living being, you should at least have energy interaction with the outside world."

Lynn said slowly.

"A perpetual motion machine that doesn't need to draw energy from the outside world—regardless of its existence, do you think it could give birth to a true soul?"

Strictly speaking, the core of the gods is not a perpetual motion machine.

Because the core of the celestial being is also constantly interacting with the outside world and drawing energy from it, its energy is not inexhaustible.

But when Stark designed Friday, he never considered designing it as a normal person.

It's less about Stark designing a life form and more about him designing a weapon.

It's not that a weapon can't have its own life, but the conditions required are too demanding and the time required is extremely long.

"In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of your designs."

"The only problem is that you're too impatient."

Lynn shook her head slightly.

"Your story is already perfect. If you could design Friday to be more like a person rather than a weapon, it might be even better."

"But that doesn't mean that Friday will immediately be born with its own soul."

"Because Friday's energy level is not high enough, unless you can embed other Infinity Stones into Friday."

"Even with other Infinity Stones, it would still be relatively difficult for Friday to develop her own soul."

"Because the Mind Stone is one of the more special and unique ones among the Infinity Stones."

"The only thing that can compare to the Mind Stone is probably the Soul Stone."

"As you can tell from the name, the Soul Stone's abilities and rules are related to the soul."

"However, due to the unique nature of the Soul Gem, it is actually less likely to create a truly unique soul if you base it on the soul itself."

"Moreover, nobody knows where the Soul Gem is right now, and the price to obtain it is extremely high."

"

"If you choose other Infinity Stones, due to their inherent characteristics, these Infinity Stones are unlikely to be able to give birth to a true soul like the Mind Stone."

Hearing Lynn's explanation, Stark rubbed his hair in annoyance.

"So, according to you, without the Infinity Stones, I can't create a true soul?"

Lynn shook his head repeatedly.

"No, it doesn't mean you can't create souls without the Infinity Stones."

"It just might take you a little longer."

In fact, many magical weapons develop their own sentience after a long period of time.

Take Thor's Mjolnir, for example.

This is partly due to the unique materials used to create the Meow Hammer, but also to the role of magic.

But all things have a spirit. When a weapon or object with certain characteristics is used, it is very likely to develop its own intelligence after a long period of time.

The Meow Hammer is one of these.

Although Meow Hammer's intelligence is still very simple, and it cannot even be called a complete soul, it is already beginning to transform into a complete soul.

The Friday that Stark wanted to create also falls into this category.

Friday itself possesses its own intelligence.

Therefore, it is only a matter of time before a true soul is born.

There may be a catalyst to accelerate Friday's growth, but that's definitely not something that can be resolved in a short time.

Without the existence of infinity stones, which are outside the bounds of conventional wisdom, it is still a bit too much to ask of a person to create a new soul across thousands of years.

"However—it's not like there aren't any shortcuts."

Lynn looked at the divine core in Friday's chest.

"Do you remember what I told you? I obtained this God Core after killing a God."

"In fact, in order to ensure that the energy of this celestial energy core can regenerate infinitely, I only erased the consciousness of that celestial being, but did not completely erase his soul."

"Strictly speaking, there is still a blank soul within this divine energy core."

"If you wish, you can use this blank soul as the base material for Friday."

"However, some unusual changes may occur, and the final outcome is beyond my control."

Listening to Lynn's suggestion, Stark seemed a little moved.

But after a moment he shook his head and rejected the option.

"I think it's best not to do that for now."

"Since you said that Friday can give birth to its own soul through evolution, then there is absolutely no need to borrow from other souls."

Lynn nodded slightly, indicating that she could understand Stark's thoughts.

Suddenly he frowned.

"It seems we have new guests."

Lynn looked up at the ventilation vent not far away.

"Is this a guest you invited? Or did he come uninvited?"

Looking in the direction Lynn was looking, Stark saw nothing.

His expression suddenly turned serious, and nano-armor quickly covered his entire body.

All of Stark's scanning devices were operating at full capacity, and after a moment, they spotted the small object located at the vent.

"What the hell is this thing?!"

Once the little creature realized it had been discovered, it immediately tried to turn around and run away.

But how could Lynn possibly let him leave?

A burst of magical energy shot out from Lynn's hand, instantly striking the little creature on the back and pulling it in front of Lynn.

As if it realized that it was flying towards Lin En uncontrollably, the little thing kept getting bigger as it flew towards him.

When he arrived in front of Lynn, he had transformed into an adult man wearing a strange red battle suit.
