"At the same time, should we ascertain what intentions this android life form has towards us? Why is it attacking, uh, Mr. Jarvis?"
"Only the three of you have the ability to verify these things and provide an answer."
Chapter 438 Missile Defense Research Institute and Umbrella Corporation
Ophelia, Carol, Tony, and the others were all taken aback by the sudden appearance of the android life form and were momentarily flustered.
At this crucial moment, experience proved invaluable, demonstrating Professor X's composure and steadiness.
And just as Professor X said.
First, we need to determine whether the intelligent life forms are real, what their origins are, and how to investigate and prevent them.
The most suitable people for this task are Tony, Reed, and Dr. Banner.
Ophelia quickly calmed down and said, "That's right, Professor X is right. Now is not the time to panic. Tony, why are you so sure that it's an intelligent life form?"
"I don't mean to belittle you, but there are always people more capable than you in this world."
"Although the three of you are among the world's most brilliant minds, as far as I know, the Sullivan Group's artificial intelligence technology is no less advanced than yours..."
Ophelia's words were already quite tactful.
In fact, the two major artificial intelligences of Dragon Ball Island and Sullivan Group, one is Magic Mirror and the other is Zola, are already top-level strong artificial intelligences that are a combination of immortality and technology.
However, Raine had sufficient means to restrict and weaken the two major artificial intelligences.
Even so, either the Magic Mirror or Zola, the two major artificial intelligences, could easily surpass the research results of Tony and his two companions.
However, just as Ophelia raised her questions...
Tony, however, said firmly, "Ophelia, I admit there may be people in the world who are smarter than us, but any human-operated hacking method is an intrusion using a complete program."
"No matter how sophisticated a hacker's program is, a program is still a program, and everything operates according to its own rules and patterns."
"However, this intrusion involved completely random code changes."
"Throughout the entire process, those codes didn't even have basic program combinations; they directly stole, no, it should be said, plundered Jarvis's core code."
Tony's explanation was already quite straightforward.
However, this explanation was still somewhat obscure to Carol and Professor X, who were not very knowledgeable about networks.
Dr. Banner saw through it and explained with a wry smile, "To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy, a program is like a standardized army with predetermined orders. It can only mechanically complete a certain task. Even if there is a behind-the-scenes manipulator, it is necessary to break through the firewall to continuously issue orders."
"And those codes are more like a group of flexible and resourceful agents, each acting independently with their own flexible methods, while also sharing a telepathic connection and will."
"How should I put it? It's like a group of living elves, or maybe bandits, who knows?"
Both Tony and Dr. Banner, two great sages, have made the same assessment.
The probability of intelligent life forms has exceeded 60%.
Then everyone's eyes turned to Dr. Reed.
After a series of operations, Dr. Reed performed preliminary repairs on Jarvis and brought him out of his 'sleeping' state.
"Jarvis, what exactly happened just now?"
“Sir, Mr. Reed, I sensed a companion like myself. I think they sent a communication signal, but they are stronger and more agile than me. I'm sorry, I can't resist.”
"No, you've done very well. We just need to know who they are and where they're from."
“Sir, I need authorization to indiscriminately intrude into other network domains.”
After hearing Jarvis's words.
Tony, Reed, and Banner all looked at Ophelia.
Ophelia: "..."
These three bastards never asked for my permission when they caused trouble before, and now that I have to clean up the mess, who are they trying to fool by pretending to be well-behaved?
After a brief moment of hesitation.
Ophelia gritted her teeth and said, "This is for the Earth, for all of humanity. I believe no one with a conscience would refuse this request. Let's begin."
Let's start by addressing the issue of moral blackmail.
If it gets exposed later, we can just go along with this and make up nonsense.
Upon hearing Ophelia's words, Tony, Carol, and the others silently gave her a thumbs up.
Then, Tony and his two companions, together with Jarvis, began searching the entire internet.
If it's just Tony and his two friends, there's no doubt that this will be an extremely long process.
But with Jarvis, and with Tony supplying massive amounts of energy at any cost, Jarvis's computing power became terrifyingly exaggerated, causing upheavals across the entire internet with incredible speed.
In less than two hours.
Countless organizations, businesses, and companies around the world have been attacked online.
Such a cost-nothing search naturally yielded remarkable results.
It only takes half a day.
Aside from those local area networks that had been completely disconnected from the network, Jarvis hacked into almost all the databases around the world, obtaining three suspicious targets.
The Sullivan Group, America's military missile defense research institute, and the headquarters of the Umbrella Corporation.
Without a doubt, the Sullivan Group can be ruled out.
If it were the Sullivan Group, there would be no need to plunder Jarvis's core code in any way. They are too powerful, so powerful that they don't care about the small amount of progress Tony and the others have made.
The remaining two targets are much easier to investigate.
Ophelia scanned the two targets back and forth, then asked, "Does anyone here know anything about this Umbrella Corporation?"
Tony shrugged and said, "I need to ask Pepper; she's the president of Stark Industries now."
Everyone gave Tony a disdainful look, but Tony didn't care.
However, before Tony could contact Pepper...
Dr. Banner timidly raised his hand and said, "Um, I know a little bit about the Umbrella Corporation."
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Dr. Banner.
Dr. Banner looked slightly embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, Tony, I helped them develop the Umbrella Corporation's artificial intelligence, but I can guarantee that Red Queen's intelligence level is definitely not at the level of intelligent machine life."
"Moreover, Umbrella Corporation's main business has never been internet technology, but biotechnology. The reason they developed artificial intelligence was only to assist in the calculations of biological experiments and the company's internal operations."
"I swear, this is a very good company and there is absolutely no harm in it."
Chapter 439 Genesis Corporation, Terminator T
Dr. Banner, and everyone else present, were clearly unaware of the Omniverse fusion or the origins of the Umbrella Corporation.
For everyone present.
Umbrella Corporation is just a promising, suddenly emerging biotech company.
This caused the Umbrella Corporation to be quickly and temporarily overlooked.
Immediately, everyone's attention turned to America's military missile defense research institute.
Unlike the originally very powerful American military.
Following a series of major events and crises, the military did not play a particularly significant role, and even played a rather ugly role on several occasions.
So after the vast majority of the corrupt and powerful on Earth were swept away.
Today, America's military has fallen to the level of a third-rate force, and even on America's own soil, it is not as powerful as the Earth Special Forces under the Security Council.
Missile defense systems and troops are essentially America's last line of defense and its main base.
The Missile Defense Research Institute was initially established as a fundamental national policy long ago, after modern missile technology was constantly updated and iterated, and became increasingly threatening to 603.
It's not just America; almost every country in the world has such a department.
However, no one expected that even Jarvis could not breach the firewall of the Missile Defense Research Institute.
In a sense, this is also the place where intelligent machine life has the highest chance of hiding.
Of course, this is just suspicion, without any evidence.
Left with no other choice, Ophelia prepared to use the name of the Security Council to leverage the influence of the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D., and other parties to request an investigation from America's military.
However, just as Ophelia was preparing to take action...
Jarvis's voice rang out again soon after.
"Sir, Your Excellency the Speaker, gentlemen, I think you need to watch this video!"
After Jarvis finished speaking.
A video projection quickly appeared in everyone's sight.
"Is this the Bai residence?"
"Yes!"
As the question-and-answer session ended, the audio from the video quickly followed.
