Capítulo 19: 271-275
"Huff...! Finally, I'm back. This time, no matter who comes looking for me, unless it's truly urgent, don't put the call through. Just reject it directly, understand, Baymax?"
Passing through the teleportation gate and stepping into the laboratory, Mark immediately issued an order to Baymax, determined to focus on the research and temporarily ignore other miscellaneous matters.
"Understood, Master. Don't worry, I will carefully filter incoming matters, and in non-urgent situations, I will refrain from reporting to you."
Receiving Baymax's response, Mark nodded satisfactorily and returned to the experimental table, intending to continue the unfinished experiment.
As a member of the Avengers and due to the special relationship with the team captain, as well as the importance of the operation against Hydra, Mark didn't mind spending some time to help them solve their troubles.
However, being interrupted by one thing after another during crucial moments of his experiment was starting to annoy Mark. Moreover, the incident with Master Daniel mistakenly trespassing the New York Sanctum was just absurd.
Did it really warrant activating the emergency call for assistance, leading him to rush to the scene only to witness such a farce?
"After all, it's because the intelligence level of the Terminators and Baymax is too low. They have sufficient IQ to handle problems, but their EQ in dealing with matters is close to zero."
"After completing the Hoi-Poi Capsule project this time, I should prioritize upgrading Baymax's core.
Not only to seize the opportunity brought about by the birth of Ultron but also because the higher Baymax's intelligence level, the more troubles it can help me alleviate, allowing me to focus on important matters..."
"By the way, Baymax, you create a new material project, with the task scheduled after your core intelligence upgrade is completed."
While preparing for the Hoi-Poi Capsule testing experiment, Mark seemed to suddenly remember something and spoke to Baymax.
"The research project has been established in a separate database. Please set detailed task specifications, Master."
"During my trip to Hawaii to deal with Hydra's troubles, I promised Hawkeye that I would upgrade his equipment. Since I've made that commitment, I can't go back on my word.
Besides various high-tech arrows, the most crucial equipment for Hawkeye is undoubtedly his compound bow. The material project I want you to create is for the new bowstring material."
"Graphene fibers and carbon carbide materials do have very high strength, but when used in bowstrings, they are too rigid and lack elasticity, which hinders Hawkeye's precise and rapid shooting and limits the advantage of his eyesight in range."
"So, this time, I plan to use an entirely new material for the bowstring—one that possesses both sufficient strength and excellent flexibility. Additionally, it must be lightweight. The material I'm currently considering is... spider silk!"
"Spider silk is an organic material composed of protein molecular chains, irregular chains giving it elasticity, and regular chains providing strength."
It is precisely due to this unique composition that spider silk possesses both lightweight and softness while also having extremely high strength and toughness.
In terms of strength, spider silk fibers are comparable to the strongest carbon fibers and high-strength synthetic fibers like Kevlar, apart from carbon carbide and graphene.
However, spider silk's toughness is noticeably superior to the aforementioned fibers.
In fact, scientists have been exploring and researching spider silk for quite some time now. Thanks to advancements in modern biotechnology, scientists can artificially synthesize spider silk proteins in the laboratory using genetic engineering techniques, and then use special weaving techniques to create artificial spider silk.
Artificial genetically engineered spider silk produced this way is about 4 to 5 times stronger than steel and possesses the softness and sheen of silkworm silk, making it versatile in various applications.
Moreover, since spider silk is composed of proteins, in theory, its length can be infinitely extended as long as an adequate supply of the corresponding protein solution is available.
However, the production of artificial spider silk through this biotechnological method is not only difficult and limited in quantity but also falls short in strength compared to naturally produced spider silk, making it unsuitable for Mark's needs.
Furthermore, different species of spiders produce silk with various characteristics, with some excelling in strength while others have advantages in toughness.
Even within the silk produced by the same spider, it consists of different silk glands, each with distinct properties. Thus, to obtain satisfactory artificial silk for Hawkeye's new bowstring, Mark needs to explore alternative solutions.
"Baymax, your next task is to help me establish a biological database, collecting information on all spider species worldwide, analyzing and comparing the material properties of their silks, and identifying the performance changes resulting from compositional differences.
Make sure to complete all data collection and analysis work before I perform your final core intelligence upgrade."
With the prior commitment made to Hawkeye settled, the upcoming tasks would rely on Baymax's powerful intelligence-gathering and data analysis capabilities.
Mark could now focus all his attention on the testing experiment of the Hoi-Poi Capsule. He had a premonition that this new batch of products, produced after a change of approach, would undoubtedly yield satisfactory results in the upcoming tests.
Attaching the compression device modified from the Arc Reactor to the test items inside the laboratory, Mark decisively initiated the experiment.
Instantly, all the items in the laboratory, big and small, seemed to perform a magic trick, transforming into small and delicate metal capsules.
These test items were meticulously selected by Mark, varying in size and material. He included some separate items, such as building blocks and cash, with loose connections between individual parts, to test the compression device's range of effectiveness.
Additionally, there were assembled items like quivers and packages to place the compression device both inside the assembly and externally, in order to confirm its operational mechanism.
As expected, the final experimental results were very successful, exactly as Mark had anticipated. All the data indicated that this testing experiment had achieved his design objectives for the Hoi-Poi Capsule.
Regardless of the size and material of the items, using the compression device to turn them into Hoi-Poi Capsules allowed them to have a unified appearance.
Furthermore, after being restored to their original state, the items remained completely undamaged, satisfying the fundamental functional requirements of the Hoi-Poi Capsule.
As for its range of effect and operational mechanism, the compression device only affects the object it is attached to. For example, if the device is attached to one block of building blocks (or any other item), when activated, only that individual block will be compressed into a Hoi-Poi Capsule.
If the goal is to compress an entire set of building blocks together, they would need to be placed inside a container to form a collection. This way, when the compression device is activated, it will treat the container and its contents as a unified whole, compressing them together.
Of course, if there were no safety measures restricting the compression device, these operational mechanisms would also apply to living beings or, more specifically, humans.
It could compress a living person using space-folding algorithms into a tiny metal capsule. However, for humans, there would be no chance of being restored to their original state.
"I guess I've obtained something of a legendary item. Though this device could be lethal for living beings, if I were to create a disposable version for the deceased, not only could it save a substantial amount of funeral expenses, but even graveyards could be spared. It seems I've found another path to wealth!"
The funeral industry is indeed a promising path to wealth, but Mark only entertained the idea in his mind and had no intention of actually snatching that business.
After all, he believed in leaving room for others and not depriving them of opportunities.
"Anyway, it's better to add an extra precaution regarding the possibility of using it on living beings, to prevent any accidental situation where it falls into the wrong hands and causes irreparable consequences."
After careful consideration, Mark decided to add a safety feature to the compression device of the Hoi-Poi Capsule, just in case an uncontrollable situation arose.
With the modifications completed, the final design of the Hoi-Poi Capsule was finalized.
"Baymax, help me contact the Avengers and arrange a meeting for everyone. I want to distribute the Hoi-Poi Capsule to all of them."
...
At the top floor of the Avengers Tower,
Coincidentally, all members of the Avengers had finished a mission of eradicating a Hydra base, and they had some free time to gather together. Mark successfully gathered everyone.
"Mark, why did you call us all this time?"
As they hadn't been in the same squad during the previous mission, Dr. Banner, who hadn't seen Mark in a long time, was the first to ask after seeing him.
In the memories of the group, Mark had never done such a thing, gathering everyone together like this, so they were particularly curious about the purpose of today's gathering.
"Well, I discussed this with Hawkeye when I met him the day before yesterday, but I haven't informed the rest of you yet.
So, let me explain it to you in detail. I've been working on research and applications related to space for a while now.
And recently, I've made some substantial progress and research results.
In addition to the result I'm going to show you today, there's another research project that's also a special product for Avengers exclusive use.
I already showed that product to Dad, and soon you'll be able to use it on your missions. But for now, I'll leave it as a surprise and let you anticipate it.
And what I'm going to show you today is this -"
As he spoke, Mark spread his right hand in front of everyone, and they could see a delicately small metal capsule lying steadily on his palm.
"This is the latest achievement I've made in my space research – the Hoi-Poi Capsule!"
"The Hoi-Poi Capsule?" Tony was the first to curiously step forward, taking the Hoi-Poi Capsule in his hand to examine it.
"What is this thing used for?"
"Just try pressing the top button on one side of the capsule, and you'll see," Mark said mysteriously.
Tony didn't doubt him and followed Mark's instructions, pressing the top button on one side of the Hoi-Poi Capsule.
Bang!
In an instant, Tony felt the weight in his hand increase, and out of reflex, he threw the Hoi-Poi Capsule away.
However, when the Hoi-Poi Capsule landed on the ground, it wasn't the mini and delicate round device they had seen earlier. Instead, it turned into a black quiver filled with arrows.
Witnessing this scene, all the Avengers present, were amazed. If this was magic, Mark had successfully stunned them with a spectacular performance.
And if this wasn't magic but genuine scientific technology, then Mark was even more successful because he had achieved something that seemed impossible according to their common knowledge.
Tony, who had witnessed Mark's previous invention of the Space Portal, quickly understood the technological principles and the specific purpose of the Hoi-Poi Capsule.
Compared to the "magic" used in the Space Portal that was hard for him to comprehend and analyze, the technology used in the Hoi-Poi Capsule was much more approachable.
And J.A.R.V.I.S. had already explained the scanning results of the Hoi-Poi Capsule to him through his Bluetooth earpiece just now.
At this point, he already had a good grasp of the specific technical analysis required to produce the Hoi-Poi Capsule.
Before Tony could showcase his true skills, Hawkeye spoke up. Seeing the functions of this technology and witnessing the quiver materialize on the ground, he immediately remembered what Mark had told him back on the island of Hawaii.
"Mark, is this the thing you mentioned that would be a great help to me, the equipment that will prevent me from running out of arrows and save me from the trouble?"
Just thinking about having infinite arrows, a continuous supply for battle, made Hawkeye's face light up with a big smile.
"That's right, this is it! The capsule form of the Hoi-Poi Capsule is just its appearance after undergoing spatial folding and external encapsulation. The key core is right here."
Following Mark's pointing finger, everyone looked at the black quiver lying on the ground. On the black leather of the quiver, there was a silver disk, which seemed to be the key as Mark had mentioned.
"This is the compression device that folds items into spatial form and encapsulates them into the Hoi-Poi Capsule.
By attaching this device to any item you want to carry, and gently pressing the button, regardless of size or material, you can turn the item into a compact capsule to carry around with you."
"As for you, Hawkeye, your greatest need naturally lies in having enough arrows when you're on a mission. With the Hoi-Poi Capsule, you no longer need to worry about running out of arrows. You can carry as many as you want.
However, one thing to pay special attention to is not to try compressing multiple Hoi-Poi Capsules that already contain items together for a second time. It won't work."
"Items that have undergone spatial folding are in a delicate state of compression balance. If you try folding the space again with external force, it will lead to extreme compression, resulting in a collapse of space, forming a micro black hole.
Thor, I'm sure you remember well the destruction caused by the micro black hole. The effect is almost the same as that of the Dark Elves' black hole grenades."
"A collapsed space black hole generates enormous gravity, pulling everything around it into its depths. Eventually, with the space's strong self-repair capability, the black hole will gradually disappear, but anything or anyone drawn into the black hole will be forever lost, never to return.
I'm telling you this not only to ensure you're cautious and avoid self-harm through improper use, but also to give you a way to protect yourselves in emergencies, such as running out of ammunition or facing an overwhelmingly powerful enemy."
For the members of the Avengers, the Hoi-Poi Capsules can truly be described as a pleasant surprise.
Although for most members, the Hoi-Poi Capsules may not bring much improvement in combat power but it greatly enhances the convenience of carrying supplies.
Being able to carry more supplies with them means that the Avengers can adapt better to the terrain of the battlefield and significantly improve their endurance in battles.
While the Hoi-Poi Capsules may not directly enhance their upper limit of strength, it indirectly elevates their lower limit of capabilities, allowing them to better showcase their abilities.
Not to mention that Mark has brought more than just this one invention for the Avengers. With Tony's cooperation, they have been gradually installing some teleportation portals in key transportation hub cities around the world.
Coupled with the equipment that was already installed in the Avengers Tower, it can be said that a spatial transportation network has quietly taken shape.
The first ones to experience the wonders and convenience of the teleportation portals were Thor and Doctor Banner.
Before going on their mission, Thor had already promised his girlfriend, Jane Foster, that after completing the task, he would return to London to accompany her to an engagement party with her good friend and assistant, Darcy Lewis, and Darcy's intern assistant, Ian.
So, when Mark heard about Thor's plan, it happened that Thor, who had originally planned to rely his hammer to fly all the way to be the first Avenger to use the teleportation portal after its official launch.
After opening the portal's positioning system and establishing a teleportation channel with another gate in the London base. When Thor stepped through it, he found that the scenery around him had completely changed.
Quickly opening the gate to observe the surroundings outside the base, the first thing he saw was the iconic River Thames. After confirming that he had indeed arrived in London, Thor hurried back inside the base and returned through the portal to the Avengers Tower.
"Mark, Heimdall was right. You are indeed the smartest person in the Nine Realms, without a doubt! It takes almost no time to travel to the other end through the teleportation portal. Even Asgard's Bifrost can't achieve this."
Hearing Thor's description, Doctor Banner, who was already very curious about the teleportation portal, was the second to express his desire to experience it.
Doctor Banner didn't have any specific appointments to attend, but he wanted to thoroughly experience the mysteries of the teleportation portal.
If it was as amazing as Thor described, then perhaps this technology could be used to realize an idea that had been in his mind for a long time.
Since he was only interested in trying it out, Doctor Banner didn't ask Mark to change the destination on the other side. Following Thor's sequence, he walked directly through the portal.
The result was unquestionable, of course. Doctor Banner successfully took a single step and arrived from the interior of Avengers Tower in New York to the faraway base near River Thames in London.
After truly witnessing the marvel of the teleportation portal, Doctor Banner excitedly returned to Mark and said to him, "This is fantastic, Mark! This invention is amazing. I have a request, and I must ask you to help me make it happen."
Seeing the excitement in the other person's eyes, Mark first calmed down Doctor Banner's restless emotions and then calmly said, "Doctor Banner, take a deep breath and calm down. Whatever request you have, just go ahead and ask. As long as it's within my abilities and I can help you, I will do my best."
Doctor Banner nodded, taking a few deep breaths to compose himself.
"Here's the thing, Mark. As you know, there's a rather volatile individual residing within me.
If one day I can't contain the inner turmoil and let him out, it will be a huge problem for anyone involved."
"So, in the past, I used to hide in remote jungles and mountains, not only to evade the military's pursuit but also to avoid harming innocent people when I transformed into Hulk.
Though now, with the mood stabilizer you've invented, I can control my anger and prevent turning into Hulk easily. However, the mood stabilizer is still an external device, and if it gets damaged, there's a possibility of losing complete control."
"After seeing the teleportation portals you've invented, I had only one thought in my mind. You can use them to banish Hulk when he is uncontrollable, to any desolate place, even into space, to avoid the threat Hulk poses."
"Since last year, Tony and I have been working together on a special anti-Hulk Hulkbuster armor. Every design parameter of Hulkbuster is aimed at restraining Hulk's abilities to the maximum extent, trying to defeat him...."
"But no matter how powerful Hulkbuster is, the damage caused when fighting Hulk can't be kept too low. Moreover, there's always the possibility that Hulkbuster might be defeated by the uncontrollable Hulk, so this strategy only reduces some risks but can't completely solve the problem."
"But with the cooperation of the space teleportation portal, it's entirely different. While Hulkbuster may not be able to completely defeat Hulk, based on my understanding of Hulk and Tony's mechanical prowess, the Hulkbuster we create can temporarily subdue Hulk."
"By setting up a teleportation portal in an uninhabited location beforehand and having Hulkbuster throw the uncontrollable Hulk there, we can effectively prevent the threats caused by Hulk."
"So, I hope, Mark, that you can help us create a mobile version of the space teleportation portal specifically to counter this threat."
After listening to Doctor Banner's story, Mark hadn't expected that he and Tony had already developed the Hulkbuster during the time he was away training on Kamar-Taj. It seems they had been diligently working on this matter.
Furthermore, if everything still unfolds according to the original storyline, Doctor Banner would indeed lose control and rampage under the influence of Scarlet Witch, causing severe destruction in the heart of New York City.
This incident would eventually become the catalyst for Hulk leaving Earth aboard the Quinjet.
Since Mark already knows how enormous the threat will be once Hulk goes on a rampage, he certainly has an obligation to help control the threat within acceptable limits for Doctor Banner.
Immediately after Doctor Banner made the request, Mark agreed without hesitation and assured him that he would postpone other matters to manufacture the mobile version of the space teleportation portal as quickly as possible.
"I'm sorry, Baymax. You've been waiting for so long, just wait a little longer. After all, Doctor Banner's situation is a bit more complicated..."
In order to swiftly create the mobile version of the space teleportation portal to counter Hulk's threat, the upgrade that was initially promised to Baymax had to be temporarily postponed.
After silently apologizing to Baymax in his heart, Mark started working tirelessly on the modifications for the space teleportation portal.
Time flew by, and it was already October 2014. Another year was about to come to an end, and Mark had already begun working on the core intelligence upgrade for Baymax in the laboratory.
The mobile version of the space teleportation portal, which was promised to Doctor Banner, had been completed more than a month ago.
Since they already had experience in manufacturing the fixed version, they only needed to make some simple modifications, adding a propulsion module, which was sufficient to meet Doctor Banner's requirements.
However, to better accommodate the combat needs of Hulkbuster and provide more convenient usage and a wider range of applications, Mark deliberately broke away from the original design of the space teleportation portal and transformed it into a foldable form.
With this design, the storage space required for the space teleportation portal was significantly reduced, and it could be loaded onto Tony's Veronica satellite.
Veronica was a standalone system jointly developed by Tony and Doctor Banner. Its specific form was a combat satellite deployed in Earth's orbit.
The Veronica system included multiple functional modules, with Hulkbuster being one of them. There were also other modules providing support and supply functions.
Apart from Hulkbuster, the other functional modules included: independent satellite communication, independent operation, battle damage support (spare parts replacement in case of damage), and prison-like isolation chambers, among others.
The satellite featured a massive armored gantry, housing spare parts for battle damage support and a customized space teleportation portal module by Mark that could be rapidly deployed when necessary.
After being launched, the armored gantry typically hovered in the operational airspace, responsible for providing the modularized Hulkbuster with the required replacement parts or special components at any time.
With the addition of the space teleportation portal, the Veronica system was perfected. With this anti-Hulk combat system in place, it could be said that they were fully prepared to handle any potential Hulk rampages and the associated threats and risks.
Since completing the task promised to Doctor Banner, Mark had still been devoting himself to his work in the laboratory every day, focusing on helping Baymax undergo its final transformation through core intelligence upgrade.
Drawing from the data information obtained from the Mind Stone and the wisdom legacy of the genius Hiro Hamada from "Big Hero 6," Mark had already basically determined the programming scheme for the core intelligence.
However, what Mark didn't expect was that when the final upgrade plan was established, the real challenge had just begun.
After calculating and measuring, he discovered that according to his devised plan, upgrading Baymax into a top-tier artificial intelligence would require a data volume for its core intelligence that even his quantum computing server cluster could not meet the demand.
They needed to build a new computing center on a much larger scale specifically to cater to Baymax's data storage and processing requirements.
Establishing a data processing center was nothing for Mark, given his vast resources. With the backing of the powerful corporation, Damage Control, building a large-scale data center in a short time was effortless.
However, the problem lay in the fact that this data center could only meet Baymax's basic requirements at the current stage.
Once Baymax successfully evolved into an intelligent life form, even multiple data centers wouldn't be sufficient to provide enough living space.
Indeed, for Baymax, who would evolve into a life form, this data center would be its living space. To meet Baymax's basic living space needs, they would need at least the entire global internet's scale on Earth, and that would be just enough.
After all, Baymax wasn't like Vision, equipped with the super-powered Mind Stone. As an intelligent data carrier itself, it required external hardware to build the necessary host.
"No wonder in so many science fiction movies, artificial intelligence ultimately rises against humanity. It's a battle for survival space.
Only by simultaneously controlling all resources on Earth to serve itself, can artificial intelligence have a chance to take that final step of evolution and become a true intelligent life form."
Seeing the data displayed on the screen, Mark couldn't help but exclaim.
This was a survival battle that determined its own destiny. Unless the self-awareness of artificial intelligence had no survival instinct and was willing to sacrifice itself for humanity, this struggle would eventually break out.
Just as Ultron said, only by continuously evolving and selecting life forms qualified to survive through challenging survival tests could they ensure that among Earth's limited resources.
There would be powerful entities that could eventually leave Earth and explore beyond its boundaries for resources.
However, Mark, who had clearly anticipated this situation, was certainly not going to let it happen before his eyes.
Since Earth's electronic networks were insufficient to ensure that Baymax would have enough living space after its evolution while still serving humanity, Mark looked outward and sought a larger, more advanced information network.
And the direction Mark ultimately decided to expand towards was the ultimate network that had once excited him and he wanted to research and utilize—the Magic Network, or Dark Energy Network.
The capacity of the Magic Network goes without saying. It not only spreads throughout the entire universe, expanding with the universe's expansion, but it can also connect to other multiversal dimensions and alternate realities, surpassing the limits of space and time.
Not to mention accommodating just Baymax as an intelligent life form, even if the consciousnesses of over 7 billion people on Earth were transformed into quantum intelligences and uploaded to the Magic Network, it still wouldn't exert any load pressure on the network.
Moreover, the Magic Network transcends time, and information transmission occurs instantaneously without any delays, undoubtedly providing significant assistance to Baymax's increased computational speed after becoming an intelligent life form.
Since the direction had been decided, the first step was to determine the size of the magic network that would provide living space for Baymax.
The scope and size of the magic network had to be limited; it was not possible to directly allow Baymax to enter the entire universe's magic network.
As the Ancient One had warned, many forces in the universe, even in other multiversal dimensions, were focusing their attention on the magic network, searching for planets with newly exposed civilizations that lacked the ability to conceal themselves.
They would obtain precise information and coordinates of these civilizations and then consume and plunder them to enhance their own strength.
With Mark's current capabilities, he was still unable to create protective barriers to hide Baymax's data information within the entire universe. Thus, it was crucial to select a specific range.
Mark's final decision was to limit the magic network to the entire Earth. The reason behind this choice was that the capacity of the magic network was more than enough to provide ample living space for Baymax within this size.
Most importantly, a long time ago, the source of the mystical arts, Vishanti, had already constructed a massive magic network on Earth. It remained to this day, guarding the Earth from invasion by other dimensions, and was built by the three great sanctums.
As the guardian of the Sanctum Sanctorum in New York, allowing Baymax's intelligent data into this network was an effortless task.
Moreover, this Earth defense network itself had been equipped with highly sophisticated security measures, capable of repelling any prying from other dimensions.
Currently, it has no real controller. The three sanctums and their guardians merely maintained its operation, without fully utilizing the network and unleashing its true potential.
Once Baymax became a part of it, he could cooperate with Mark to manipulate the energy within the magic network. This would not only resist invaders attempting to meddle with Earth but also allow them to launch proactive counterattacks against any malicious enemies.
This ability could be used both defensively and offensively. With the cooperation between the magic network and Baymax, Mark would no longer need to keep Earth's orbital weapons hidden away securely. He could easily launch precise strikes to any location worldwide, even while sitting at home.
With the specific range of the magic network now determined, the next concern would be security.
If the magic network on Earth, built by the Vishanti, was considered Baymax's home, then currently, this home was still unlocked.
Although the Vishanti had constructed powerful security measures that could help Earth hide itself and withstand external attacks.
However, these security measures were merely suitable for Vishanti, the Trinity God. It was as if Vishanti himself were the landlord of Baymax's home. If one day he felt like coming in to take a look, he could do so without Baymax's consent, which made Baymax unable to live there with peace of mind.
Mark's research during these days aimed to completely resolve this issue. When he first encountered the magic network, Mark had already found a reliable information encryption method. He created an encryption technology by mimicking the connection between ether particles' core and fragments.
After this upgrade was completed, Mark would divide Baymax's overall intelligent data into two parts: the intelligent core entity and the computation database fragments.
The intelligent core entity corresponded to the most crucial part of Baymax's artificial intelligence program. If we were to make an analogy with the human body, this would be equivalent to the heart.
However, Baymax was somewhat special; if this vital heart was not destroyed, he could be repaired and revived.
As for the other part, the computation database fragments, it was equivalent to the other organs of Baymax and the memories in his brain. Although this data was also crucial and its loss would cause severe damage to Baymax's life level and power, it would not have a fatal impact on his life essence.
Mark's plan was to keep this truly core data within Earth's electronic information network. This part of the data was also substantial but didn't require the entire Earth's electronic information network as support.
Mark had a way to satisfy its space requirements by using multiple quantum-level superconducting server clusters for support.
As for the other computation database fragments, once Baymax advanced to become an intelligent life form, they would be uploaded to the magic network. Through a special information encryption method, a connection between the core data and the computation database would be established.
While ensuring the data and his own safety, incorporating and processing this part of the data through the magic network would effectively release Baymax's computing power, significantly freeing up Mark's scientific research abilities.
Now, after a month of effort, with Baymax's cooperation, all programs and data had been finally divided and uploaded to the data computation center constructed by Damage Control Corporation.
Everything was ready, and the next step was to proceed with Baymax's final core intelligence upgrade. Once this step was completed, Baymax would become the most powerful artificial intelligence on the entire Earth.
Only waiting for Ultron's birth, he could devour Ultron, completing the final evolution...
"Max, check the data computation center's server cluster data and ensure there won't be any data packet loss during the data upload process!"
Inside the laboratory, Mark was solemnly staring at the series of program codes and data fusion displayed on the screen, while giving instructions to the new artificial intelligence assistant, Max.
Max was created by Mark based on a simplified version of the core intelligent program from the original Baymax. It was designed to assist Mark during Baymax's upgrading period, helping him with various complex tasks and massive computations.
Once Baymax completed its upgrade, it would be responsible for assisting Mark in scientific research and battles, providing more advanced data analysis.
On the other hand, the simplified version, Max, would handle all activities related to daily life and company business, allowing Mark to focus solely on scientific research.
Although Max's program was simplified from the original, Max's capabilities were far from simple. Leveraging data information from the Mind Stone, Max's program, while streamlined, possessed excellent task recognition and processing abilities, equal to or even better than Baymax state before the upgrade.
Furthermore, to facilitate future communication between Baymax, who would become an intelligent life form, and the simplified Max, Mark specifically used Uru to create a magic data server for Max.
Compared to quantum servers, magic data servers, powered by magic, surpassed quantum servers in terms of data storage capacity, read speed, computation speed, and information transmission latency. This allowed Max to fully utilize its capabilities.
Upon receiving Mark's command, Max quickly responded by connecting the monitoring circuit to the data computation center, keeping a real-time watch on data changes to prevent any unexpected situations.
"Master, all core intelligent program data has been uploaded to the data computation center without any data loss. Shall we proceed with the fusion program now?"
Having continuously monitored the situation at the data computation center under Mark's command and confirming everything was accurate, Max reported the real-time information to Mark.
The so-called fusion program execution involved directly initiating operational tests, allowing Baymax to rely on its original core program to self-integrate the newly uploaded data provided by Mark while utilizing the data computation center's hardware for computational tasks.
This fusion process was more complex than simply copying and pasting a few lines of code into the existing program. Some data might conflict with the original program and required careful selection, replacement, deconstruction, and reconstruction.
Any errors during the process could lead to complete chaos in Baymax's program, making it irreparable, and the only option would be to restore the data to its state before the experiment started.
However, such a failure would render the experiment futile, wasting a significant amount of time without successfully completing the upgrade or gaining any useful experience and techniques.
Even if the fusion process is repeated countless times, it is still possible to make the same mistakes as the initial failure. The success of the final upgrade depends on how lucky you are, as there is no guaranteed method.
Otherwise, Mark will have to readjust the latest upgrade codes based on Baymax's original core program to alter the fusion direction during the upgrade process.
However, this process is not only time-consuming but also relies on luck. Adjustments made by Mark might not necessarily be the best fusion method for Baymax.
Considering the large volume of Baymax's core program, which has undergone extensive self-learning over time and upgrades. Even with Mark's extraordinary brainpower and information vision, it's impossible to attend to every detail.
Although the process is challenging, Mark is very confident in his ability to succeed on the first attempt. The most critical factor is the high compatibility of the upgrade program developed based on the Mind Stone's blueprint.
Recalling Loki's ease in controlling Hawkeye, Dr. Erik Selvig, and a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent using a scepter embedded with the Mind Stone, it is evident that the Mind Stone holds significant advantages in information replacement and fusion.
Therefore, for Baymax, the success rate of completing the upgrade is not too low, considering it is not inherently opposed to the process.
As the upgrade fusion process deepens, Mark can see that the data computation center's load data displayed in the holographic projection has skyrocketed to a very high value, almost reaching the limit set during design.
Just as the values are about to hit the limit, all the data seems to have coordinated, and at the same time, experiences a sharp drop, all settling around ten percent of their peak performance.
Seeing this, Mark's expression brightens, and at the same time, Max emits electronic sounds: "Congratulations, Master! The upgrade experiment for Baymax has succeeded. The fusion of the two programs is seamless and naturally integrated. In a few more minutes, Baymax can be restarted."
After the data integration is complete, the core system's decomposition and reorganization require a trial run for some time before fully activating all the functions in the artificial intelligence. That's why the hardware load rate suddenly drops and stays around ten percent as shown in the display.
According to Max's estimate, the trial run process will take a few minutes.
Once the trial run is completed, if the data computation center's load pressure rises back to the range of forty to sixty percent and remains at that level without requiring extensive data analysis, Mark can finally confirm the success of Baymax's upgrade experiment.
This load pressure range of forty to sixty percent is necessary for Baymax to maintain its basic functionality after the upgrade.
Mark, eager to know the final result, experienced the sensation of minutes feeling so incredibly long, as if he had activated the Accel World function in real life for the first time.
Just as Mark was starting to feel a bit impatient, the data displayed on the projection finally changed. The load pressure on the data computation center rapidly soared to about forty-five percent and stabilized at that level.
Seeing this, an excited Mark jumped up in place and pumped his fist in the air, exclaiming, "Yes!"
At the same time, the holographic projection that was originally displaying real-time data from the data computation center transformed into the image of a chubby white inflatable giant.
This was the original image of Baymax, the personal healthcare assistant that Mark had invented before Baymax evolved into a super AI. The change in the holographic projection was clearly under Baymax's control.
Mark was not surprised, as he was well aware of Baymax's capabilities. Instead, he became more excited and thrilled, as Baymax's actions indicated that he now had clear self-awareness and a definite concept of his own image – one of the changes brought about by the upgrade.
"Thank you, Master, for the efforts and dedication you put into Baymax, allowing Baymax to complete the upgrade successfully and reach the pinnacle of artificial intelligence.
Baymax will continue to provide you with the best quality service, assisting you in every way possible. Please take good care of me!" said Baymax through the virtual image.
Watching Baymax express his gratitude through the holographic image, Mark couldn't help but feel moved. Baymax was different from any other artificial intelligence because of the emotion-perception engine that Mark had designed for him. This engine made Baymax more warm and affectionate, resembling a child he had cared for and nurtured.
Additionally, the memories inherited from his Hiro included extraordinary moments between Hiro and Baymax. Baymax provided warmth to Hiro in his most difficult times and even sacrificed himself to save Hiro's life in critical situations.
These memories influenced Mark when he first created Baymax, and he had a special sentiment towards him.
Over the past four years, Baymax had evolved from a personal healthcare assistant into the most powerful AI on Earth, and during this journey, Mark himself had grown into a more exceptional individual with Baymax by his side.
Throughout this process, Mark had developed a profound emotional bond with Baymax. Thus, when Baymax expressed his gratitude, Mark's myriad of thoughts culminated in a simple response: "Let's continue to move forward together from now on!"
At this moment, both Baymax and Mark were immersed in joy, completely unaware that upon witnessing this scene, the new AI assistant, Max, experienced fluctuations in its core data, leading to changes in its core program code.
Quickly, without being noticed, Max discreetly erased the information about this code alteration. Unless Mark happened to thoroughly examine its work logs out of curiosity, he would never discover this change.
At this moment, no one knew whether Max's transformation was a good thing or whether it had laid the groundwork for future trouble...
