My surname is Stark, who changed my job to become a female big gun?

Chapter 588 Could this be... Ultron?

"Sometimes people have to be more forward-thinking..."

Jarvis' words caused the three people present to fall silent for a moment.

The ones who were most deeply touched by Jarvis' words were Tony himself and Lainie, who was also a participant at the time.

Sometimes you got to run before you can walk.
This sentence can be simply understood in four words: "Do it first, talk later."

Obviously, as the original owner who said this when creating the Iron Man Mark II, Tony has always adhered to the principle of these four words.

The three people present, and even everyone in the entire Avengers Building who was familiar with Tony's personality, were all very clear about this.

Tony has always been a man who does what he wants to do. He never wastes time on useless arguments.

It was when he announced the closure of Stark Industries, and it was also when he was developing and building the Iron Man armor, and even when he took the initiative to recruit Lanie into Stark Industries on a whim.

Whatever he wants to do, as long as the theory and conditions allow it, he will definitely, surely, and 100% be sure to do it immediately.

This is him, Tony Stark, a genius who never plays by the rules but always creates miracles.

Even though his personality has become more restrained and stable over the years, the spirit of daring to try and explore deep in his heart has never disappeared.

Therefore, Jarvis' proposal gave Tony, who had already made up his mind, a sudden boost of confidence.

"Jarvis, I accept your suggestion."

There was a determined light in Tony's eyes. He stood up and walked to the dark blue data group. His eyes were full of confidence and satisfaction, as if he had already seen the possibilities of the future.

"So what are we waiting for? The opportunity to change the world is right in front of us. There is no reason not to seize it."

Tony turned his head and looked at Lainie and Dr. Banner, and said impatiently:
"I only got three days from that guy Thor. Everyone, this opportunity cannot be missed. For the sake of our peace and future, let's get started!"

Because before this, Tony had only managed to get three days of "scepter retention time" from Thor, and promised that after the celebration party, he would return the scepter intact to Thor and take it back to Asgard for proper placement.

Therefore, the actual time left for the three of them to continue their in-depth research on the scepter is only about 60 hours at most.

So the three of them didn't care about whether to rest or not, and simply worked overtime all night to build a detailed structural algorithm for Ultron.

In the laboratory under the cover of night, the lights are as bright as day. Tony, Lenny and Dr. Banner are constantly moving around in the experimental area, their faces full of concentration and persistence.

Even when the night faded and the first rays of morning sun shone through the window onto them, they showed no signs of stopping.

Tony's eyes sparkled with a desire for the unknown and a firm belief in success. His fingers jumped rapidly on the holographic screen, constantly outlining Ultron's structure and algorithm.

At the same time, Dr. Banner, the main force, was immersed in various data. His brain was like a high-speed computer, constantly analyzing, reasoning, and predicting. However, the trace of sadness that occasionally revealed between his brows indicated that their progress was far from as smooth as they had originally imagined.

As for little Lani, who had already completed the consciousness exchange, she had been staring at the data changes on the screen, recording some key data from time to time to ensure that every detail could be grasped accurately by the three of them in a timely manner.

Of course, the three people's immersion in the experiment did not go unnoticed by the Avengers.

However, except for Dr. Maya Hansen, whose knowledge level was at the same baseline as the three, no one else could see anything from the many data models that the three were busy with.

They just thought that the three of them were conducting "more in-depth research and testing" on the scepter as Tony explained.

They didn't realize at all that the three of them were actually secretly doing something big.

"Could this be... Ultron?"

As a major researcher at Stark Technologies and the main person in charge of the Extremis Serum medical project, Maya Hansen is obviously aware of the Ultron theory that Tony had proposed in the past.

Therefore, after taking a rough look at the data models and materials that the three were busy with, Maya Hansen realized the real reason why the three of them suddenly worked overtime and did not even sleep.

"Congratulations, you guessed it correctly."

Seeing that their research had been discovered, the three of them exchanged glances briefly, then nodded in understanding and simply admitted it.

In fact, even if Tony and his friends wanted to keep this a secret, they probably wouldn't be able to hide it for long.

After all, the three of them stayed up late in the experimental area to conduct research in such a high-profile manner. Anyone with a little scientific research experience would probably be able to see that there must be something fishy going on.

Instead of waiting for the other party to realize it and make a fuss, it is better to admit it now.

"Sure enough, you guys are really messing with Ultron!"

Seeing the three people nod in agreement, Maya Hansen was stunned at first, and then she couldn't help but exclaimed.

However, after realizing that her exclamation seemed a little loud, Maya Hansen quickly lowered her voice. At the same time, she looked around and made sure that no one else noticed the situation here. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, she couldn't help but frowned and looked at the three people and asked:
"Why did you hide this from us? Shouldn't you discuss this important matter with everyone first?"

"Maya, calm down."

Lainie patted Maya Hansen's shoulder gently, trying to calm her down.

"We didn't mean to hide it from you, but..."

Before Lainie could finish her words, Tony interrupted her and said:
“Because we don’t have that much time to explain in detail to those who don’t understand technology.

Thor has only given us three days to study this 'handle'. Instead of wasting time on meaningless explanations and discussions, we might as well just take action.

I think you can understand this, Maya."

Maya Hansen pursed her lips, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

She knew there was some truth to what Tony said, but it felt like being left out, especially about something so big.

"I understand you need to act quickly, but that doesn't mean we don't have a right to know."

Maya Hansen finally shook her head helplessly and reluctantly agreed with Tony's statement, but her voice was still full of doubt.

"Besides, Project Ultron... do you really think this is a feasible plan?"

"From the current situation, it is very feasible."

Dr. Banner adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his slightly tired eyes showed a bit of brilliance. Although the three people seemed to have been busy all night, it seemed that they did not produce any constructive results.

But in fact, the three of them really found a very possible path from the seemingly vague fog.

Even though this road does not seem to be so easy to walk at the moment, it at least shows that the Ultron Project is not a completely meaningless research project.

Maya Hansen's eyes kept moving between the three people, her brows furrowed, obviously still having doubts about this so-called Ultron plan.

But under the determined gazes of the three people, Maya Hansen really couldn't find any reason to stop them from continuing the experiment.

Reluctantly taking a deep breath, knowing that she alone might not be able to shake the three people who had already taken action, Maya Hansen simply gave up and put her own project aside, and took the initiative to express her desire to join the Ultron project.

In her own words, instead of being treated as someone who doesn't understand technology by Tony and being left aside to watch, it would be better to join them and understand the entire process of Ultron's development firsthand.

What Maya didn't know was that her being able to participate in Ultron's project was actually exactly what Tony and the other two wanted to see.

Or perhaps, this was something the three of them did intentionally.

Therefore, with the addition of Maya Hansen, the speed of building Ultron's algorithm data model has been visibly accelerated.

Although Maya has made great achievements in manufacturing botany and cell genetics in the past and has little exposure to scientific research such as data algorithms, she is not completely ignorant.

Even if he can't provide more constructive help to Tony and others' current research and development work, he is still able to serve as an auxiliary staff to cooperate with Jarvis in data model testing and recording.

It’s a pity that the two research team members, Fitz and Simmons, were temporarily transferred away by Coulson, otherwise Lainie estimated that the team’s work efficiency would be further improved.

In this way, after continuous attempts and modifications by several people, they finally completed the construction of Ultron's data model and the testing of related algorithms in the early morning of the third day.

And was able to smoothly enter the next most critical program fitting and testing stage.

However, to everyone's surprise, the results of the first program fitting test were not ideal. Unknown bugs on the data and program ends caused unknown errors in the entire artificial intelligence system's connection with the scepter core. The prompt text of failed access appeared in the center of the holographic model.

Tony, who had been quite confident, suddenly felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head and felt extremely frustrated.

Looking at the holographic data model that kept popping up red error codes before everyone, and finally collapsed completely, the expression on Tony's face couldn't help but become a little ugly.

According to his calculations and past experience in building other AI intelligent models such as Jarvis and Veronica, Tony has been able to reach this point. He cannot guarantee that the success rate is 100%, but he should at least have a 70% chance of success.

However, the facts gave him a resounding slap in the face.

The program unexpectedly experienced an unexplained "rejection" phenomenon during the fitting phase. The data end and the program end, which were supposed to be seamlessly connected, had a serious conflict at a certain stage, causing the entire system to be unable to run stably.

As a result, the data model that was ultimately expected to be infinitely close to perfect was instantly shattered into invalid garbled code and error prompts like a collapsing cyber building.

"Something must be wrong."

Tony's brows were furrowed, his eyes fixed on the glaring red error codes on the holographic projection.

"Jarvis, reanalyze the data model. I want to know where the bug occurred."

"Yes, sir."

Jarvis' voice echoed in the laboratory, and he immediately began to execute orders, once again conducting an in-depth analysis of the data model that had just collapsed, looking for clues that might have led to the error.

The data model on the holographic projection started up again and began to be reconstructed one by one, with every detail being magnified, analyzed, and reorganized.

However, no matter how hard Jarvis tried, those glaring red error codes could not be eliminated, and the data model was still on the brink of collapse.

“No obvious problems were found in the logical structure of the data model.”

Jarvis' voice was calm and objective, and although he could not feel frustration like humans, his tone revealed a sense of helplessness.

"So, is it a hardware problem?"

Tony frowned, he knew very well that hardware problems were also a major hidden danger in building such a complex artificial intelligence system.

Even though the possibility is extremely low with today's Stark technology, it does not mean that it does not exist.

"The hardware is in good condition and all parameters meet the preset standards."

Jarvis responded quickly, ruling out the possibility of a hardware failure.

Everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought. If there are no clear omissions in hardware, computing power, algorithms, data models and other aspects, then where will the problem arise?

"Jarvis, are we missing something?"

Dr. Banner took off his glasses and rubbed his sore brows.

"I have checked all the codes and data and found nothing missing."

Jarvis' voice remained calm, but in this silent laboratory, it was like a heavy stone pressing on everyone's heart.

Tony shook his head when he heard this. He understood that sometimes the problem wasn't where it was obvious.

He looked around, his eyes sweeping across the different faces of Lainie and the others, then fixed on the holographic projection.

Those red error codes were like flames mocking them, jumping and flickering in the darkness.

"That doesn't make sense..."

Tony is not the kind of person who will never get discouraged after experiencing failure. He firmly believes that there is nothing wrong with his design ideas, but the current predicament forces him to re-examine the whole situation.

Then, almost subconsciously, Tony turned his gaze to the scepter that was still standing on the test bench.

Under Lainie's scrutinizing gaze, he slowly walked to the scepter and stared at the dark blue gem inlaid on the head of the scepter.

The gem exudes a deep and mysterious light, as if the deep ocean is surging before your eyes.

Tony's eyes were deeply attracted by it, as if being pulled by some irresistible force.

"Do you think it's possible that it's actively resisting integration with the system?"
