Chapter: 274

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...
