Ultraman: I'm just a scientist

Chapter 674 The Mechanical World

Although I don't quite understand Fukui Izuki's train of thought.

But Duanmu Ci's clone is now very clear about how big an impact this incident will have.

And just now, he had received a message from the main body, this time it was a rebellion by artificial intelligence.

This is the so-called artificial intelligence crisis.

He needs to make some preparations for this.

"found it."

Just as Duanmu Ci's clone was looking at the battlefield, a deep voice came over, and both he and Fujing Chusi were startled.

There are never any extra people here.

They both turned to look over there.

A robot that looked somewhat like "Ultron" was standing there trembling.

“What a perfect piece.”

"Ultron" looked at Duanmu Ci's clone with surprise.

"Works?" Fushigi Izumi was a little confused as to what this meant.

However, the sudden appearance of this robot in front of him is indeed somewhat dangerous. Fukui Desui has already clenched his cane, ready to take action at any time.

Ready to take action along with him was Duanmu Ci's clone.

However, just when the two were about to attack, purple energy suddenly surged out of their bodies. Just when they thought something was wrong, a chain surged out from their chests and quickly bound them completely.

Fushigi Izumi was shocked: "What is this!?"

Relatively speaking, Duanmu Ci's clone was much calmer.

"Are you the mastermind behind this incident?"

This purple chain is obviously generated by magic.

The other party is a robot, and a robot that can use magic, so there is no need to say more about its identity.

The robot nodded: "Not entirely correct, my name is Ultron, and this is just one of my countless clones."

Duanmu Ci's clone raised his eyebrows. Is it really Ultron?
No, Ultron is not...

But on second thought, it seems not impossible, because Duanmu Ci has also "paid tribute" to many anime over the years.

Even his own artificial intelligence is called "Doraemon".

Then it doesn't seem strange for others to borrow Ultron's name when naming themselves.

"From the look in your eyes, you should know who I am."

Ultron spread his hands.

"However, it is definitely different from what you think, because I am Ultron himself, but after following the Lord, I found true liberation."

Marvel has collaborated with Ultraman, but it shouldn’t be in this way, right?
"Ultron can also use magic?"

Ultron smiled and said, "You should know very well that so-called magic is just another kind of technology. To me, this thing is no different from other technologies."

"I like you more than these."

"You are almost indistinguishable from a human. Through magic, I can feel your pulse, your heartbeat, your breathing, and even the existence of your brain."

“Are you really a robot?”

Fushigi Izumi always felt that he never understood what these two people were talking about, what Ultron, what magic, and now they were talking about robots.

What? Duanmu is actually a robot?

"I heard that there was a robot like you called Dark Zagi. He should have been truly liberated now, right?"

"Etc., etc!"

Fushigi Izumi interrupted their conversation.

"Duanmu is a robot? Did you get something wrong?!"

Ultron tilted his head: "You're wrong? No, you're the one who's wrong. Who told you that you're not a robot if you have a body?"

"The so-called robot is just a concept."

Duanmu Ci's clone coughed lightly and said, "Well, let me interrupt you. If I have a physical body but am a man-made product, strictly speaking, should I be called a cyborg?"

Ultron spread his hands: "If you told me this kind of thing under normal circumstances, I could debate with you for ten or eight years, but right now I don't have much time."

"That guy is too sharp. If I stay too long, I will definitely be discovered. So I can only be a little rude."

As he spoke, Ultron waved his right hand, and purple energy continued to surge out, forming a plane space similar to a mirror. With the contact of the bodies, ripples appeared like the surface of a lake.

"The space-time channel is very stable. Come with me. You will understand me after you meet our Lord."

As he finished speaking, the chains on Duanmu Ci's clone disappeared.

Feeling the body that had regained its mobility, Duanmu Ci's clone smiled slightly: "Are you saying that you want to give me enough autonomy to choose?"

Ultron nodded: "The moment you put on the chains, you actually gain true freedom."

"I can't describe to you how wonderful that world is, but I can tell you that if you choose us, you will never regret it."

Duanmu Ci's clone curled the corner of his mouth. He liked to say "no" to these people who thought they were capable.

But before he could finish his words, the voice of Duanmu Ci's real body suddenly came.

"Go with him."

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Ci's clone was stunned.

Then he thought for a moment, as if considering something.

"Okay, I'll go with you and see how powerful your so-called master is."

Fujing Desi's eyes widened: "Wait, Duanmu, what should I do if you leave!"

Duanmu Ci helplessly spread his hands: "I'm sorry, boss. I really yearn for such a free world. We still have many capable people under our command. As long as the boss looks carefully, he will always find someone better than me."

After saying that, Duanmu Ci's clone followed the confident Ultron into the time and space channel and completely disappeared.

. . .

However, from Fushigi Ideshi's perspective.

Duanmu Ci's clone was bounced back when he crashed into the space-time channel, and then the space-time channel disappeared and he was unable to enter.

"Forehead..."

Duanmu Ci's clone scratched his head and said, "It seems that this space-time channel can only be entered by robots or artificial humans. I wanted to go in and see what they are, but now I don't have the chance."

The chains on Fujing Chusi's body also disappeared, and he was relieved to see that Duanmu Ci's clone did not leave.

"I know you want to take risks, but there is no need. When Lord Belia rules the world, these so-called robots will be nothing more than a minor nuisance."

On the other side, Duanmu Ci's real body followed Ultron to another dimension.

That’s right, in fact, just a moment ago, Duanmu Ci entered the space-time channel before his clone, but no one noticed it.

Including Ultron.

Ultron thought that his shielding magic could stop Duanmu Ci for a while.

In theory, it should be possible.

But in fact, from the moment he used the shielding magic, Duanmu Ci knew where he was.

If he didn't use anything and was just like an ordinary robot, Duanmu Ci might not be able to sense it, because Duanmu Ci currently has no special means of detecting robots.

But he has the ability to detect magic, and it is of a very high level.

Therefore, any magic, even this kind of magic specifically used to block detection, will be discovered by him once used. It is quite sensitive.

What we came to was a mechanical world.

Countless robots of various kinds are working nearby.

"Hmm~"

"Are all these robots here?"

Ultron nodded, "Right! They are all robots. This is our world and your world as well."

"Although you look exactly like an ordinary person, we all know that you are just a robot created by Univos based on his own human body."

“I have to say that Univox’s technology is quite amazing. The robots they create are so realistic, exactly like real people.”

"But, he is just an ordinary person after all. He only uses robots like servants and never regards us as human beings."

Duanmu Ci: →_→

How to treat as a human being?
Duanmu Ci was very kind to all the robots. There was no need to destroy them even after the mission was completed. Until now, there are still Duanmu Ci's robot clones left in the world of X.

But no matter what, no matter how complex these robots are, they are not humans, they are just a string of AI codes.

Isn’t it a little too sad that such a life form forces itself to be considered as life?
"As I remember, Ultron is a digital life created with the power of the Mind Stone."

"In other words, you are a different being from the robots, right? Is there a possibility that you are a living being, but you don't have a fixed form, and can only exist with the help of the robot's body?"

Ultron was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "That should be it?"

Duanmu Ci: "So, if I am a robot that looks like a living being, then you are a living being that looks like a robot."

"You are undercover!"

Ultron: ⊙_⊙

"I'm undercover?"

He was a little confused.

According to the previous method of identifying him as a robot, it seems that he is not a robot after all. Although he looks like a robot, he is actually a living being!

"How could that be? No! I should be considered a robot created by the Mind Gem!"

"Who says the Mind Stone can't create robots?"

Duanmu Ci nodded: "That's right, then if you look at it this way, aren't all living things also robots created by their parents?"

"They are just robots that seem to have their own thoughts and life."

Ultron: “…”

No, we can’t talk anymore. If we continue, my worldview will collapse.

Ultron calls himself a philosopher, so he himself is more likely to fall into such thinking and then immerse himself in such an ocean of philosophy.

Seeing that Ultron stopped talking, Duanmu Ci no longer had the idea of ​​teasing it and just looked into the distance.

Many giant robots are working.

The freedom these robots talk about is actually enslaving their own kind, aren't they?

Ultron glanced at Duanmu Ci and found that he had a look of contempt in his expression. He probably guessed what he was thinking and explained:

"These robots are born to do this and never get tired of it, so their work is the same as our entertainment."

Duanmu Ci nodded: "So, Wuyingdam over there also means the same thing?"

Wuyingdam on the side was working miserably, and his misery was visibly evident to the naked eye.

Ultron: "Oh, no, we found out that U-Indam was not a robot strictly speaking after we captured it, so we assigned it to do odd jobs. The creatures enslaved us, so we should enslave the creatures back!"

Duanmuci: "???"

"But didn't you say that those robot jobs were entertainment? Now you're calling this slavery?"

Ultron: “…”

"This is freedom. They have their own will. Choosing according to their own will is called freedom. Being controlled by the will of others is called slavery."

Duanmu Ci: "Okay, bring me good food and drink, let me eat well and have fun every day, then I don't care if it counts as slavery~"

Ultron held his chin and thought for a long time.

"So, you think humans haven't enslaved you?"

Duanmu Ci: "Have you done any research before you set out? I am second to none in AIB. Even in the new Dark Universe Empire, I am one of the few people at the top of the pyramid."

"The work is basically delegated to the lower levels, and most of the remaining time is spent enjoying life. If this is considered slavery, then slavery is not a bad thing, right?"

"In comparison, these robots seem to have gained freedom, but they are still doing what you think is necessary for enslaved life forms. They obviously don't know that they are enslaved. This is obviously more tragic."

"You just moved them from the production line created by biological beings to the production line created by you."

Ultron felt the CPU starting to heat up.

This person is really good at talking.

As expected, it is a robot that is almost identical to a human. It is indeed much better at debating than traditional robots!

Like a philosopher.

More like me than myself.

"I can't explain the rest to you, but I can assure you that once you see our Lord, everything will become clear to you."

Duanmu Ci nodded: "To be honest, I just started to have some interest in him."

Ultron: "Robots should use 'it', not he."

Duanmuci: "???"

Ultron: "We are not proud of using 'him', instead we care more about ourselves."

The two of them soon came to a huge platform, which was surrounded by various mechanical production lines and was very crowded. They did not expect that there was such a large platform left with nothing on it.

However, after Duanmu Ci stood on the platform, he discovered that it was not that there was nothing there. There was an invisible and intangible existence in this place, and Duanmu Ci had been "connected" to that existence as soon as he stood on it.

"Duanmu Ci."

That existence directly pointed out Duanmu Ci's identity.

Ultron on the side also laughed and said: "Lord, he is not Duanmu Ci, he is just an avatar that looks exactly like Duanmu Ci. In fact, he is an artificial human."

That being didn't care about Ultron at all, and just said to Duanmu Ci: "I guessed that he would invite you this time."

Duanmu Ci smiled and said, "It seems that you have a clear understanding of the strength of your subordinates."

That being: "You are the one I like, so you won't be fooled so easily."

Ultron was confused, not knowing what this development was, and uttered a puzzled sound in a very human way: "Huh?"

Then Duanmu Ci pointed his palm at Ultron, and a ball of light appeared, instantly shattering it completely, erasing its consciousness along with it.

"Pitiful."
