Time flies so fast that the massive internet data crash that caused a tremendous shock around the world is almost a year ago.

Overall, 2004 was a very calm year. There were few major incidents during this year, and at least no major incidents could be handled by Merlin.

He has become accustomed to the life of two points and one line between the home and the Trident Building. Merlin was initially resistant to the overall situation of sitting in the office. He didn’t feel like he could hide behind the scenes and make an order. People, but it turns out that Merlin quickly adapted to his new role.

Over time, he has developed new habits.

Now he will spend 1 day every week, accompanied by Sharon, to make a circle at the four mysterious object containment bases he manages.

Hearing work reports from S.D.O.L.D. and other subordinate departments once every half a month, occasionally interested, a surprise inspection will be conducted to punish those tired and unlucky eggs caught by him.

And every month, he will hold a regular meeting in the conference room of the Trident Building to summarize the work of the previous month and arrange the work of the next month.

It's like a spider lying on a cobweb that has been prepared. He doesn't even need to move, he can feel the vibrations from various places on the cobweb. He will identify those vibrations and the information transmitted on this network. Then focus on the sensitive information that needs attention.

Of course, his life is more than work, but also a real private life.

The withdrawal of the two girls from Xavier College went smoothly. Charles, or rather, mad attack, he did not stop it. This guy may not care about Merlin's careful thinking, but the children leave the place that is already unsafe, still Merlin was relieved.

Ruiwen and Lorna live at home now, but it is no different from going to school.

Every morning, I have breakfast and enter the mysterious house. I start learning under the supervision of Xuan Lan, just like being taught by a private teacher. I have to say that with the help of Xuan Lan, Mei Lin does not have to worry about the life and rest of the two girls. He relieved a lot of pressure.

And the more time the three people get along, the more intimate the relationship between Merlin and the two sisters.

Finally, the most important thing is that every 45 days or so, Merlin will disappear strangely for 2-3 days. Every time before disappearing, he will be full of vitality, and he will be exhausted every time he comes back. Occasionally there will be traces of frostbite.. .

Yes, it was his "Snow Country Dating" with his girlfriend. Elsa was "enthusiastic" every time, but the hoarfrost in her body would not be too "gentle" to Merlin.

The two can finally have a stable love life. Although they still gather together, they are much better than being unable to meet each other in two worlds.

As for the scene when the two meet each time...

Uh, it's "painful and happy".

In general, Merlin has not been bad this year. Of course, if the advanced frost protection agent made by Ms. Ye Naifa can last longer, it will be more perfect.

And, it would be nice if there were fewer smart machines that appeared like mushrooms all over the world.

"My Excellency Merlin, there are new communications."

In November 2004, Merlin was preparing meeting materials in the office a few days later. As a result, a communication request popped out of Icarus' lens.

Speaking of Icarus, this upgraded artificial intelligence is faster than the previous response and data processing, but for more than a year, Merlin has never been able to make it like the original... well, humane .

Compared with the previous Icarus, the current Icarus is like a cold auxiliary tool, very smart, but rarely makes people feel the existence of feelings.

This is probably the most regrettable thing for Merlin in this year.

"Beep, beep"

Merlin raised his head, the communication signal was connected, and Frey's face never saw a smile, as if the whole world owed him money. A face appeared in front of Merlin.

Along with the real-time image, there is also the left side of the area where Fury is located. On the lens of Merlin's left eye, a map of North America appears, projecting Fury's coordinate points in front of Merlin's eyes.

At the same time when the call program is started, several modules are started at the same time, including but not limited to communication encryption, recording, and identification.

It fully proves the powerful functions of Icarus, and is extremely cool, unconsciously data processing interface, although Merlin feels that this is a little overkill.

"Is there anything? Fury."

Merlin picked up a document and read it while asking:

"Aren't you talking about robots with the people of the World Security Council lately? What are you doing in Nevada?"

"Because there are more important things, Merlin."

Fury's voice sounded in Merlin's ear, he said:

"A project that I have been following has finally made gratifying progress. If you are not busy, you will come to Pagazoski grounds this afternoon. I have something to tell you."

"Ok?"

Merlin's movement over the file stopped, he looked at Fury, then pushed his glasses, he said:

"I feel like something has happened again, and it will eventually fall on me. Can I refuse?"

"Fery, you see, I'm quite busy now. I haven't been to Mei and Ben for several weeks. My little nephew misses me very much. If I don't pass, he will call the stranger uncle. Now..."

"You are coming, Merlin."

Fury frowned and said:

"This is an order, and I think you may not want to miss it."

"?"

Merlin looked at the confident Friey in the glasses with surprise. He said:

"Can such confidence increase my interest?"

He rubbed his chin, and after a while, he said to Fury:

"Okay, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I'll pass the job at hand."

"Okay, I'm waiting for you here."

After talking, Fury hung up the phone, Merlin pouted, he stood up, walked to the window, looking at the city below, he said:

"If you can say something clearly on the phone, you have to make it mysterious. It is impossible for him to change this life for his fault."

Merlin shook his head, he lit the cigarette, and as the smoke rose, his fingers pushed the frame of the bridge of his nose, saying:

"The third energy disturbance has just ended, Icarus, let me see the situation of the'Tinder' contaminated area."

At the next moment, on the two lenses, a rotating world map lay flat in front of Merlin's eyes. This map marked many red-stained areas and some light red areas, which looked like a bad stain. The game is the same.

Those red areas are all over the world, fragmented and seemingly illogical.

Icarus' gentle voice from Elsa sounded in Merlin's ears. She introduced to her master:

"The inspection of four infected areas in North America has been completed. Apart from the 1,175 intelligent robots that have been contained, no more intelligent robots were accidentally activated."

"S.D.O.L.D.'s agents are shifting their positions to South America, where the order system is weaker, and many awakened intelligent robots have fled there."

"The search in Northern and Southern Europe is ongoing. According to the report of Agent Gattler, they have found at least 344 smart robots in escape state. They are pursuing the target, but the last arrest operation failed due to accidental leaks. ."

"The progress of the affected region in Asia is unknown, and SHIELD does not have enough power there, but according to the efficiency of the ancient eastern country, the search speed there will only be faster than SHIELD."

"Finally in Africa, Wakanda is also carrying out the containment of intelligent robots. They did not cooperate with SHIELD, and compared with the surveillance strategy of SHIELD, Wakanda people are more inclined to protect these born on Earth. Intelligent robots, if nothing unexpected, Wakanda may become a hiding place for these awakened intelligent robots in the future."

"Well...it doesn't look optimistic."

Merlin frowned, looking at the world map stained on the lens, he said softly:

"Is the result of the ecological comparison of these areas infested by the power of tinder coming out?"

"The first phase of the emperor organization's research on the ecology of various regions has ended. According to their report, in the 24 heavily infected areas around the world, whether it is an ecosystem or a biological system, there have been changes over time."

"Two weeks ago, near the end of the third energy disturbance, Dr. Vivian saw a semi-mechanical lion on the grassland of East Africa. Obviously, this was a sign of a change in life."

Icarus put a weird photo on Merlin’s lens. In the photo, a male lion was patrolling his territory, but the limbs of the lion had changed into mechanical metal similar to the Cybertron Form, one of its eyes has also become a metal gem, and the tail is composed of layers of metal sheets.

The lion didn't seem to have much pain. It didn't seem to feel his changes. He was still hunting leisurely. This shows that the energy of the fire seed source's transformation of the flesh and blood creatures does not cause a painful chain reaction.

If only the animal is infected, the problem that Merlin is most worried about is that the infection will spread to humans, but at present, there is no such sign.

"New changes are happening...new waves have emerged..."

Merlin looked at the picture and said softly:

"How does human society respond to this?"

"There was no overreaction."

Icarus posted several forms, and she replied:

"Of course, this is more because the information control carried out by SHIELD and the governments of various countries has blocked the news of the emergence of intelligent weapons. However, there are still sporadic sightings, and some lace tabloids have long reported this. Thing."

"In addition, Lord Merlin, I need to remind you that, compared with the sample 7 months ago, you should not hard to find that in the 24 severely infected areas and the 16 mildly infected areas, the residual energy of the tinder is mechanical and low-level. The speed of transformation of intelligent life has become faster and faster, which means that the energy may have adapted to the rules of the earth."

"Advancing at this speed, maybe in a few years, the world will usher in a big explosion of intelligent life. By that time, even if the World Security Council comes forward, it will not be able to suppress this explosive news, ordinary people will eventually Exposure to this mechanical life, and their reaction to it, is difficult to determine."

"Well, this is indeed a matter of concern."

Merlin nodded, he said:

"But Coulson made a very constructive suggestion to me, maybe we can talk to Fury this afternoon, and we still have time. If we are well prepared, the outbreak of intellectual life in a few years will not Will affect the order of civilization, maybe..."

"We can make it a good thing."

Despite Merlin's confidence, the artificial intelligence Icarus seems to have different opinions on this. She posted photos of several kinds of intelligent mechanical life found on the lens. She told Merlin:

"IMHO, Lord Merlin."

"I think you have underestimated the possible impact of the life of smart machines on this world."

"They are not intelligent robots. Although their power is far inferior to the real Cybertronians, if they come together to form a military group, they are still a powerful challenge to the world's existing force system. ."

"At present, we have discovered intelligent machine life with associated weapons, which means that they are also evolving. Although relative to the first batch of awakened intelligent machine robots, such as'ghost','murmur', and'Lola', new life The individual power of the Zhizhi has become very weak, but their number is increasing day by day."

Icarus said:

"Obviously, this is the result of the spread of the energy of the tinder causing the energy to disperse. But the impact of 100 weak armed intelligent machines on society is obviously more terrible than 10 powerful intelligent machines."

"According to my observation of human civilization, if the number of alien life is rare and mild, it will not affect the existing order, then humans will welcome them generously."

"But if the number of foreign life is large and unstable, the first reaction of human beings is to resort to force. I mean, if it is a matter of the life of the intelligent machine, if the handling of SHIELD and the governments of the countries appears slightly If it is wrong, then it will directly lead to an order disorder in the whole world."

"I suggest, Your Excellency Merlin, you'd better put more energy into this matter."

"Well... the logic is perfect, there is reason, there is no rebuttal"

Merlin nodded and said to Icarus:

"Thank you for your suggestion, Icarus, I will first modify my plan with Coulson... In addition, I like your active state of mind and continue to maintain it."

"Thank you for your compliment, Lord Merlin."

Icarus' voice returned to a calm state, she said to Merlin:

"I will continue to work hard."

"In addition, a new email has just been put into your mailbox. It was sent by your three disciples. They just completed a mission assigned by the Assassin Alliance. Now in New York, they want to invite you for a meal... There seems to be something to tell you."

"Oh, Leila, Victoria and Miles?"

Merlin nodded slightly, he said to Icarus:

"Contact them for me. At 9 o'clock tonight, Mick Hall, I should have some leisure time at that time. In addition, continue to pay attention to the "Tinder" situation, Icarus, tell me immediately in any case."

"Okay, Merlin."

"Call me Merlin."

Merlin waved his hand. He returned to the desk and continued to work on today's work. He had to finish processing the documents on the desk before 3 o'clock, and he would meet Fury in the afternoon.

Alas, I don’t know what the mysterious guy hides...

To be honest, Merlin is also curious.
