"how about it?"
In the office of the Director of SHIELD, Merlin looked at Fury in front of him.
The latter had just finished reading the "Superhero Registration Act" sent by Merlin, and the afternoon sun shining through the window into the office. In the reflection of the light, the expression of the halogen egg director seemed to be a little subtle.
"To be honest?"
Facing Merlin's inquiry, Fury pouted, he glanced at Merlin and commented unkindly:
"not very good."
The halogen egg director patted the text in his hand. He said slowly:
"Compared to a mandatory, highly binding bill, what you handed me is more like an'proposal'. You want to include superheroes in the new system and do it for them like shaping order for aliens It’s a good idea to set up rules of action, but your bill is a little too idealistic."
"Ideal?"
Merlin frowned and asked:
"What do you deserve?"
Fury held out his finger and waved in the air, he said:
"About the rules of conduct of the heroes, the rules and regulations you listed."
"I feel a taste of "secret association" from your plan. I mean, you don’t allow the heroes to show their heads in the public, ask them to do things in a low-key manner, and ask them to be as sage-less as they are. To be honest, this is unlikely."
Fury stood up. He carried his hands on his back and looked at the scenery outside the window. He said bluntly:
"I can actually understand your thoughts. You hate those who are under the banner of heroes. They also hate those who are high-profile and always want to attract people's attention. You are used to acting in the shadows. These are agents. Lifestyle, but not heroic."
"People can't do anything without doing two things, one is to support their families and maintain their lives, the other is self-realization and the pursuit of life meaning. I think people who can run as superheroes have their own unique ideas. People, they may not care about money, but people’s praise and pursuit may make them go further on this dangerous road."
Looking back at Merlin, he asked:
"In order to win people's affirmation and appreciation, aren't people who ran to fight crime not heroes? Like to stay in the spotlight and be praised and chased to do good things, isn't it a good thing?"
"In this society, Merlin, when people judge one thing, most of them are indifferent. For us, as far as this bill is concerned, as long as those guys are doing good deeds, as long as they don't cause trouble, Then they can do whatever they want with their lives. We have no reason to interfere. I don’t think it’s necessary to interfere."
"Everyone has their own ideas, and they have their own reasons for choosing to be a superhero. The classic heroic complex is suitable for some people, but not for all."
Fury turned around and said to Merlin:
"But to be honest, the idea of ​​superhero professionalization is really great. Professionalization means being monitored, a system that is closely linked to the official, and it is easier to be accepted by countries, and superheroes are independent of political affairs. , This is a pretty good idea, it can avoid many problems."
"But asking them to register information will not be so smooth."
Fury leaned on the desk, arms folded, and said to Merlin:
"People hate being monitored. People fear that their hidden secrets will be exposed. Everyone needs some private space. This is human nature. This is understandable. No one wants one more shackle, especially for superheroes. Most of them are not professionals, and it is difficult to accept life under such surveillance, especially from official surveillance, which will greatly encourage conspiracy theory."
"So we have to do it step by step, Merlin, I mean, take it slowly, or change the way."
"I feel you have an idea, Fury, come and listen."
Merlin urged.
Fury shook his head, he said to Merlin:
"I will show you something. That is my solution to the superhero situation. To be precise, Pierce first proposed it."
Merlin glanced doubtfully at Fury, who took a document from the drawer and handed it to Merlin. He told:
"This is a draft like your registration bill. It was discussed several times within the World Security Council, but it has not been passed. The parties are very divided. In short, you can take a look first."
"Pierce proposed?"
Merlin looked at the document in his hand and the words "Insight Plan" were written on the cover. He looked up at Fury and said:
"Your two bad old men really have something to hide from me."
"We hide a lot of things, Merlin, more than this one."
Fury shrugged, he whispered:
"Pearce a few years ago, when superheroes first appeared, he anticipated the troubles this new group would cause. The current situation confirmed Pierce’s original concerns that superheroes became more and more active and have become a Social issues that cannot be ignored."
"Merlin, I ask you, what do you think is the most basic reason for the birth of superheroes?"
Merlin looked down at the file and he replied casually:
"In addition to the personal desire to perform, perhaps more people choose to stand up and fight evil because of their dissatisfaction with the social environment."
"What the unscrupulous media preached, what they saw, what they experienced firsthand, all kinds of unjust situations, rampant crimes, unbearable threats, and incompetent police, bought judges, bad guys Of impunity and so on."
"Of course, this is an deliberately amplified illusion."
The expression of Merlin who was looking at the document changed a bit. He seemed to see something terrible. While reading through the contents of the document, he continued to say to Fury:
"It's good or bad in this era. Let's just say, people's eyes are obviously more attracted to big events. People in this era receive information more than 100 times faster than before, and the media and network responsible for delivering information to them are just as good. And peace is boring, so only those eye-popping news, those crimes will be discussed."
"But actually?"
"Even in Gotham City, which has the worst security on the East Coast, less than 3% of people are engaged in criminal activities. In other words, more than 97% of the residents are ordinary people, but this does not prevent people from taking Gotham called it the capital of crime, as if there were no good people in that city at all."
"People say that they want to see the truth, but ironically, people only believe in what they are willing to believe... People think they are smart, and so do the superheroes."
"Perhaps in their eyes, a city is hopeless, but from a higher level, most cities are inconceivable peacefully. Before they appeared, the worst of those cities might be gangsters. . And after they appeared, the biggest unrest in those cities was the superheroes themselves."
"Well, it's very pertinent and straightforward. But those superheroes probably don't like this statement."
Fury nodded. He clearly agreed with Merlin. He responded:
"Pearce's statement at the time was exactly the same as yours. I really think that the two of you think about the same way most of the time. You can always grasp the essence of the problem."
"The fundamental reason for the birth of superheroes is that the official forces that were supposed to perform their duties failed to do their jobs, perhaps because of the incompetence of the police, perhaps because of corruption at the upper levels, and the direct reason for their birth was because of the rampant crime. "
"People don't want to endure worse and worse social atmosphere, they instinctively seek change, and superheroes come into being. People want to see superheroes fight crime, because watching criminals being knocked down by guys in fancy clothes is better than criminals. It was more exciting and more dramatic for them to be taken away by the police."
"Superheroes also seem to be born to stand in the spotlight. Their strange and strange abilities, their speeches, and even their styling will lead to heated discussion."
Fury recalled his discussion with Pierce on this issue, he said:
"People started to worship superheroes instead of police officers or firefighters performing their duties. Encouraged by the superheroes' halo, any bad things will be attributed to the government. The credibility of the government began to collapse rapidly, and the social environment became worse. So Heroes are more active, and people adore them more."
"This is a vicious circle... Superheroes have already appeared, it is impossible to make them disappear, but we still have a chance to break the vicious circle that will appear in the future..."
"We can stop crime, we can curb those unstable factors from the source, only we need to make up our minds."
Fury pointed to the file in Merlin's hand and said to Merlin:
"The Insight Plan was born because of this."
"Relying on the worldwide monitoring system and the innovation brought about by Cybertron Technology, the insight plan can already be pushed into specific applications."
"The armed insight mothership will stay above the stratosphere. Every three ships form a group. The three groups form a continental monitoring system, which is connected to the ground communication database. Artificial intelligence is responsible for information response."
"Every time a crime occurs, the request for assistance signal is sent to the command center. After confirming the situation through the monitoring near the crime site, according to the level of crime threat, the insight that the mothership will project non-lethal or lethal weapons from the stratosphere, extremely accurate, weapons The projection error is within 30 cm."
Fury made a fall, he said:
"A pulse bomb that stuns a thief, or a bullet that can kill a robber, depends on how much harm those criminals cause and the environment they are in."
"The police don’t need to draw guns and shoot at the gangsters. They just need to determine the location of the crime. The rest can be handed over to the ground control center and the mothership. The incompetent law enforcement system will be brought into the new technology. Of innovation."
"Of course, crimes such as high-rise buildings or certain buildings may still require the help of superheroes. After all, artificial intelligence is not omnipotent, there are some flaws that can be understood, and I believe that with the advancement of technology, these flaws Will also be made up."
"And this system can be further strengthened, Merlin."
Fury spread his hands and said to Merlin, who didn't say a word:
"According to Pierce's plan, when the insight plan enters the second phase, and after more spacecraft carriers are deployed, we will delegate the response authority to each police station."
"People used to rely on the police to protect themselves, which is flawed... because the police always show up afterwards, like the fox has stolen the chicken and then you catch it. People have to rely on themselves to protect themselves, like Just like holding a gun legally, crime will be prevented before it starts."
Fury made a button press gesture, he said:
"In the near future, everyone can rely on the insight mothership suspended in the sky to protect themselves and protect others who are about to be injured. When everyone can call the thunder from the sky through the alarm phone, everyone will It’s a superhero."
"By that time, the costs and risks of criminals will increase exponentially, and the crime rate will mostly drop. When the criminals are reduced, the social atmosphere will naturally improve. At that time, the sociality caused by superheroes The problem is no longer a problem."
Fury smiled, he said:
"It sounds incredible, right? But I consulted Dr. Reed and George, and they told me that thanks to the update of Cybertron's data module, this system is already technically feasible."
"But that doesn't mean it can work in other ways, Fury."
Merlin did not show an approval expression on the face. On the contrary, he had a serious face. He put the documents in his hand on the table. He said to Fury:
"Not to mention the ability of the weapons launched by the mother ship to fight those super criminals, let's say its safety, Fury, how can you ensure that such weapons will not be abused? How do you ensure that the weapon system of the mother ship is controlled? Will artificial intelligence not be tampered with?"
"An error that only requires one character will cause terrible things to happen, and as soon as an error occurs, the system will immediately lose value."
"Fery, IMHO."
Merlin stood up and he seriously said to his director:
"This plan is too extreme, and it is very risky."
"Put the gun on top of the world, treat everyone as a pre-selected target, and correct them when they hurt others or hurt themselves. This sounds good, but you and I know that there are many things in this world. Hard to define, we have all seen enough special cases."
"What if an innocent person is coerced to attack others?"
"What if a father chooses to commit a crime because of the kidnapped child?"
"What if they are manipulated by super criminals to do bad things?"
"Can we just give them a bullet? No, we can't! Our duty is to accept orders, obey orders, execute orders, but we have to be clear about what is right! Fury, this is what you taught me!"
Merlin pointed to the document and said to Fury:
"The biggest problem with this plan is, Fury, we can't use data to judge who should live and who should die."
"If allowing people to hold guns does not allow them to protect themselves, then even if you push the response button of the Insight Mothership into everyone's hands, you can't stop the crime."
Merlin stared at Fury. He said:
"These two things are essentially the same way of thinking, but only in different ways."
"And don't you feel it? Fury, the mode of insight planning, with a little change, will become a weapon of repression..."
"You just said that it was proposed by Pierce?"
