Tony wasn't very satisfied with the draw, but Bronski wasn't in his complete form yet.
Harry had specifically designed a set of Neural Armor for Bronski. Because many inhumane and controversial technical methods were used during the neural implantation process, this armor was completely integrated with his body.
The internal design referenced the Winter Soldier's bio-energy arm; Bronski's movements would accumulate power and charge the armor, suppressing his abnormal desires.
Compared to the Hulk's infinite potential for strength, the advantage of a conscious Bronski lay in his ability to use various weapons designed by Osborn. He was a soldier now, and soldiers had logistical support.
Piece by piece, the armor was fitted onto Bronski's body. He now looked like some kind of war behemoth stepped out of mythology.
"The design of this armor seems a bit inhumane," Tony commented from the side, a sentiment shared by Banner.
Harry remained noncommittal: Neural link armor was an upgraded version of force-feedback armor. From a technical standpoint, this armor was much better than the force-feedback mode of the mark armor.
Osborn had better conditions to research this technology, so naturally, he had to try it.
The research on Bronski was of extraordinary significance. As a unique individual who was both human and monster, he provided a wealth of invaluable data for Neural Interface Technology.
Harry said, "So Mr. Bronski has earned his reward; this is a transaction."
"Hmph, but it's not like I had much of a choice." Bronski sniffed.
"Do I need to remind you that the people you killed didn't have a choice either?"
Everyone looked at each other and stopped dwelling on the topic.
"Bronski, the next period of time is yours—you have half an hour today to talk to your ex-wife. Just use the armor to communicate when you need to," Harry said.
A combat AI was embedded within the armor, which also served a surveillance purpose.
Harry turned his chair around; he now had other matters to discuss with Tony.
With a wave of his hand, Harry brought Bone in.
"Good afternoon, Boss."
He wanted to talk about the ctOS upgrade.
"Over 40 states and more than 70 cities have agreed to implement ctOS. We need to upgrade our software. Bone, show us your results."
Bone nodded, and a massive city model materialized in the room—it was New York.
Above the model, the data structure of ctOS was displayed: a giant, constantly shifting rectangular solid composed of countless small cubes.
As needed, they could lock onto any single person in the city.
The city was colored in various hues based on the probability of crime in the current district. The improved Bellwether System could find almost all potential criminals.
"So you've really done it—predictive policing," Tony praised with a nod.
Given enough data, there was no doubt Stark could have achieved this as well, but those resources were currently in Harry's hands.
Harry said:
"But it's not a permanent fix. It's impossible to just send these potential offenders directly to mental hospitals or prisons. So, for the next step, I've already convinced the Mayor of New York to establish a 'Crime Prevention and Resolution Department'."
"Through economic aid and employment assistance, we can humanely solve the problems of these high-risk groups."
Hearing this, a look of surprise appeared on Tony's face. To be honest, he hadn't thought that far ahead; in his mindset, you just catch the criminals.
As for why they committed crimes, that never seemed to be part of the consideration.
Regarding this, Harry continued to explain, "If they are criminals who have already committed a crime, there's no problem in arresting them. But if we take measures just because of data predictions..."
"Have you ever read the novel '1984'?"
Tony shook his head. "No, but I can read it now. Jarvis, help me find this book."
The novel's author constructed an extremely oppressive future society where the rulers used similar means to monitor everyone, control their thoughts, and invented a crime called 'Thoughtcrime'.
In other words, as soon as you have the thought of breaking the law, you are a criminal.
A large-scale control system like ctOS had the full capability to turn such a hypothetical into reality.
Under Jarvis's explanation, Tony rested his chin on his hand and said, "I see what you mean. But I must say, it's beyond my expectation that you would notice such a problem."
Of course it's beyond your expectation—you and Captain America are like two opposite poles in this regard.
Harry said, "I'm a businessman, but I want to keep the business going as long as possible, you understand? Now for the next part, where is your super AI model?"
Tony smiled confidently, and a model resembling a brain full of sulci and gyri appeared in the room. At its core was a luminous body wrapped in data.
"I copied a portion of the matrix from Jarvis as the starting matrix—I believe this thing can achieve the effect of forming a personality, and I also believe there is no AI with a 'personality' more suited to handling this network than Jarvis."
"The only question is where should we put it? Traditional computers are very inefficient at running this AI, falling far short of my expectations."
Tony finished and looked at Harry. Now it was time for Harry to provide a solution or a direction.
Harry also waved his hand, and a set of files floated before them.
"I found this in AIM's research materials, a project called MODOK."
"Some AIM scientists believed that through biological enhancement technologies like Extremis, they could transform a person into a living Biological Computer. This kind of computer would be 100,000 times faster than traditional computers."
"However, what they proposed was just a concept. I followed their line of thought and completed the remaining theoretical research."
The computational principle of a Biological Computer is to use bio-chips composed of protein molecules to replace semiconductor chips, use organic compounds to store data, and use the changes in single and double strands of protein molecules for calculation—it's quite powerful.
Both Tony and Bone understood the concept of Biological Computers and therefore knew the shortcomings of such technology.
That is, it was very difficult to extract information from them.
"I won't say much more about Biological Computers; you both know. And we don't need to extract information; this AI will automatically complete the calculations and then automatically send out commands. We're just finding it a vessel."
"As for how it operates internally..."
Tony took the initiative to finish the sentence: "It's as difficult to quantify as human consciousness."
The two looked at each other: it was as if it had been planned—they were really about to reverse-engineer life.
After looking over Harry's supplements to the MODOK project, Tony patted Harry on the shoulder: "You're really starting to look like a boy genius now."
Harry said helplessly, "Terrible dad joke, Tony."
