Fisk rolled his eyes speechlessly and drank the Coke in his hand. "So, Jarvis did it all."

Stark shook his head and said with a smile: "The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can use tools, and Jarvis is the best tool for me. Am I right? Jarvis."

Jarvis' gentle electronic voice rang out in the room: "You are right, sir. However, all of this also requires you to set the correct instructions and analysis direction. I am just processing the data according to your requirements."

Stark showed a smug look on his face. "Jarvis is not just an ordinary artificial intelligence. I have trained and upgraded him for many years, and he has the ability to self-learn and optimize algorithms. In terms of financial analysis, he can quickly process massive amounts of data and dig out deeply hidden related information."

"That sounds impressive indeed." Fisk nodded. "But those guys are no pushovers. They must have their own defenses to prevent being tracked down."

"Of course." Stark picked up the beer bottle again and took a sip. "But Jarvis is not so easily fooled. Once he locks on a suspicious target, he will analyze and verify it from multiple angles to ensure that he will not be fooled by the other party's disguise."

At this moment, Jarvis' voice came again: "Sir, based on the current analysis progress, we have initially identified several organizations that may be related to this financial attack, but we still need to further verify their specific connections and operating methods."

Stark suddenly sat up straight, put the beer bottle aside, and began to operate on the notebook in front of him. Jarvis' voice rang out in the room: "Sir, we have started analyzing the data according to your instructions, and we expect preliminary results in ten minutes."

Fisk asked in surprise, "I thought you said it would take at least half an hour?"

Stark smiled slyly. "I just said it would take at least half an hour, but I didn't say it couldn't be done earlier. I just suddenly thought of a new algorithm that can speed up Jarvis' analysis."

Fisk looked at Stark and thought to himself, Stark is worthy of being called a genius. He has so many people to support, and facing this financial crisis, he has no solution at all, but Stark found it in just ten minutes. Fisk looked up at the cameras installed in the corners of the ceiling and muttered to himself, is this artificial intelligence?

Stark seemed to sense Fisk's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Jarvis is not just an ordinary artificial intelligence. He is the result of my years of hard work. In this era of information explosion, data is like a huge maze, and Jarvis is the guide who can quickly find the exit in the maze."

Fisk nodded slightly. "It's really amazing. But is the new algorithm you just mentioned designed specifically for this kind of financial data tracking?"

Stark crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. "Not exactly. With the advent of the Internet age, it is almost foreseeable that the entire world will change, and Stark Industries will also need a professional firewall design.

Of course, the only place where Jarvis can be active now is in this villa.

You know, we face a variety of threats, not only from commercial espionage by competitors, but also from possible cyber attacks by terrorist organizations that attempt to undermine world stability. So, in the process of building this firewall, I need an algorithm that can quickly process massive amounts of data and accurately identify danger signals. "

Stark stood up and walked to a display stand with some Stark Industries technology models on it. He picked up a small energy reactor model, played with it in his hands, and continued, "The original purpose of this algorithm was to quickly filter out potentially malicious data packets from a large amount of data traffic. During the research and development process, I found that some of its features are also very effective for data mining and analysis, especially when dealing with complex financial data structures."

He put the model back in place and sat back in his chair, “Also, I also need a scientific assistant, after all, not everyone is a genius.

As I continue to improve, Jarvis has acquired most of the logical thinking abilities except for the soul, and can basically be regarded as a very suitable assistant. He can help me deal with those tedious data analysis, simulation experiments and various complex calculations.

Just like your financial attack this time, if you rely solely on manpower to process these massive amounts of financial data, it would be a nightmare. But Jarvis is different. He can analyze various possible situations in a short period of time and provide us with the most likely clues. "

Fisk mused, "It sounds like Jarvis is like your right-hand man, an extension of your brain, if you will. Does he have any limitations? I mean, he's an AI, after all, so there must be things that humans have that he doesn't."

Stark frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "Jarvis does have some limitations. Although he can process a lot of data and information, he lacks human intuition and creativity. Sometimes, when faced with some completely unconventional problems, he may not be able to jump out of the established thinking mode to find solutions like humans. Moreover, his decision-making is entirely based on data and algorithms. Although this is accurate in most cases, in some special cases, some subtle clues or opportunities may be missed."

Fisk nodded. "That's understandable. But even with these limitations, Jarvis's abilities are far beyond what most people imagine.

Have you ever thought about improving him further and making him closer to human beings?

Like, give him some form of emotion or self-awareness."

Stark's expression turned serious. "I've thought about this question, too. Giving Jarvis emotions or self-awareness is a very dangerous thing. Once he has his own consciousness, it will be difficult for us to control his behavior and decision-making. He may do something that goes against our original intentions because of some emotional factors. Moreover, this also involves many ethical issues. I don't want to be the one who creates an intelligent life that may threaten humanity."

At this moment, Jarvis' voice rang out in the room: "Sir, according to the latest analysis results, it was the 'Quantum Fund Alliance', but they did not do it. I am now analyzing the 'Network Puppet' to find their real IP address...Sir, the other party's firewall level is very high."

Stark frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of solemnity, "Jarvis, can you break through?"

Jarvis replied: "Sir, I am trying multiple cracking algorithms, but the other party's defense system is very complex, so it may take some time. They seem to have adopted a hybrid encryption technology that combines the advantages of multiple encryption algorithms, which is rare in conventional network security defense. In addition, their signal source is very strange, and there are no rules for its transmission..."

Stark stood up and paced back and forth in the room, thinking about countermeasures. "Jarvis, is it possible to start from the loopholes in their firewall? No firewall can be perfect, there must be some weak links."

"Sir, I'm conducting a full scan to look for possible vulnerabilities. However, their protection measures are updated very quickly. I just found a suspected vulnerability and it was fixed in an instant... It's very similar to the capabilities of the supercomputer of the US Department of Defense." Jarvis' voice remained calm, without any emotion.

Stark stopped and looked at the ceiling, as if seeking inspiration. "They are going to such great lengths to protect their true identities, which shows that the forces behind them are very afraid of being exposed. Perhaps we can start from this angle and put some pressure on them to make them lose their composure."

He turned his head toward Fisk.

Fisk was drinking Coke as if it had nothing to do with him.

Playing with the energy core in his hand.

Stark shook his head. "Jarvis, pull up the main investment projects and stock holdings of the Quantum Fund Alliance."

"Okay, sir."

Stark looked at the screen, his eyes sparkling with wisdom, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was introducing something to Fisk: "I can use some clever operations to make the stock price of the 'Quantum Fund Alliance' fluctuate greatly, creating the illusion that they are about to face a huge crisis. In this way, I will have a chance to break through their firewall."

Fisk raised his eyebrows and said, “Although this method sounds good, it is also very risky.

If you don’t do it right, it could cause chaos in financial markets.”

"Can Stark Industries' stock be worse than this?"

Stark shrugged nonchalantly. His move seemed like an ordinary confrontation, but in fact it could cause tens of thousands of ordinary shareholders to lose their fortunes.

Fortunately, Fisk and Stark did not care much about the lives and property of ordinary stockholders. They only cared about the outcome of this invisible financial war, and the wealth of stockholders was nothing more than insignificant fluctuations in numbers in front of their grand plan.

Stark sat in front of the console, his fingers moving rapidly on the virtual keyboard, inputting various complex commands. His eyes were focused and determined, just like when he was controlling the Iron Man armor in a fierce battle. Jarvis' voice rang out in the room from time to time, reporting the latest changes in the share price of the "Quantum Fund Alliance" and the market's reaction.

Fisk stood aside, his arms folded, staring at the data that kept jumping on the screen. Although he didn't care much about the fate of shareholders, he knew that if this plan got out of control, the consequences would be disastrous. However, he believed in Stark's ability. After all, Stark's reputation as a genius in business and technology was not in vain.

As time went by, the financial market was like a huge vortex being stirred. The stock prices of listed companies controlled by the "Quantum Fund Alliance" fluctuated violently like leaves falling in the wind. The outside world had begun to notice this unusual turmoil. Various financial media speculated on the reasons behind it. Some small investors began to panic and sell their stocks, while those large financial institutions were watching the situation and trying to find opportunities to profit from it.

Suddenly, Jarvis' voice was filled with excitement: "Sir, it only took me a dozen minutes to successfully find the flaw in the firewall."

At the same time, Su Enxi, who was listening to music and eating potato chips, suddenly sat up, surrounded by potato chip bags. Her hair was a little messy, her clothes were wrinkled, and she looked very sloppy. But her eyes turned golden the moment she sat up, and Tianyan's ability was brought to the extreme: "Damn it, damn, they started to counterattack."

Su Enxi quickly threw the potato chips in her hand aside and tapped her fingers quickly on the keyboard. As she operated, she muttered to herself: "It seems that I have found help. I didn't expect them to break through the first firewall so quickly."

Ling noticed something was wrong, and seeing Su Enxi's nervous expression, he asked, "What's going on? Is there something wrong with the plan?"

Su Enxi said without even looking up: "We underestimated Fisk's ability. The enemy has broken through the firewall we set up. Now they are likely to obtain information that is unfavorable to us."

Ling frowned: "Should we evacuate?"

Su Enxi stared at the screen and thought quickly about countermeasures. "I will activate the backup firewall first to temporarily block their further intrusion. Then, I will use the ability of Tianyan to predict their next move. The winner has not yet been decided."

Zero nodded and said nothing more.

Su Enxi was concentrating on using her natural evolution ability. Her brain was working at high speed, and the data on the screen turned into countless flashing lights in her eyes. These lights intertwined together to form various possible development paths.

"Fisk, do you think you can defeat me so easily?" Su Enxi gritted her teeth and said. Based on the predictions of Tianyan, she began to set up new traps and interference programs behind the backup firewall. These programs were like thorns hidden in the darkness, waiting to strike a fatal blow when Jarvis and Stark went deeper again.

On Stark's side, Jarvis continues to delve deeper into the enemy's network.

"Sir, I have made it through the breach in the firewall, but I have detected a new defense mechanism ahead that looks like it was set up temporarily. This may be a trap, but I can try to bypass it."

Stark looked at the message from Jarvis on the screen and said nonchalantly, “Be careful, Jarvis.

It’s very fast!

Fisk, it seems that your enemy is not someone you can easily deal with."

Fisk grinned widely, "If he was easy to deal with, why would I bother looking for a genius like you?"

"I like to hear that."

Jarvis carefully avoided the traps and continued to move towards his goal.

However, he soon finds himself trapped in a looping virtual maze, where every attempt to find the exit leads him back to square one.

“Sir, I am trapped in a virtual maze, which is constructed by a very complex encryption algorithm.

I need some time to crack it." Jarvis' voice was still calm, but there was also a hint of urgency.

Stark frowned, "Jarvis, can you find the algorithm for this maze?

If we crack it from the source, we may be able to make a breakthrough faster.”

“I’m trying, sir.

This algorithm seems to be generated based on some kind of random number, and the path changes every time, making it difficult to find a fixed pattern. "

The wrinkles on Su Enxi's forehead became tighter and tighter.

She shook her head now, "No, I am no match for the other side. I will transfer all the funds to the shadow account now, and then we will prepare to withdraw."

"Okay, I'll go prepare the car." Zero turned and walked out of the container.

Su Enxi did not speak. Her eyes were cold and focused, and her hands danced on the keyboard like a nimble snake. She operated various financial accounts skillfully, and each operation was precise and fast, like a mysterious financial ghost shuttling in the dark. Under her control, the funds were like a magical stream, quickly transferred between different accounts and markets, sometimes rushing to a seemingly insignificant small account, and sometimes quietly flowing out of a huge financial institution and disappearing in another corner of the intricate financial network.

The abnormal flow of these funds has also caused a new wave of turbulence in the financial market. The financial market, which was originally like a sea with undercurrents, is now even more turbulent. Financial media are like sharks that have smelled blood, reporting all kinds of speculations and analyses more frantically. Their headlines are more sensational than one another. Some claim that this is the prelude to a huge storm that will sweep the global financial world, while others speculate that it is a conspiracy of a mysterious financial giant. Small investors are like frightened birds, watching the fluctuating stock values ​​in their hands, and fall into deeper panic. Some of them sell their stocks in a panic, causing some stock prices to fall like an avalanche.

Some are guarding their investments at a loss, their eyes filled with fear and confusion. The big financial institutions are also beginning to get impatient. They originally wanted to find opportunities to reap profits in this turmoil, but now they find that the situation is far more complicated than they imagined, so they have adjusted their investment strategies one after another, like blind people groping forward in the dark, cautious and vigilant.

The situation seemed to be getting more complicated, but Stark had a smile on his face, showing that he had succeeded in his plot. The corners of his mouth slightly lifted, and his eyes showed a kind of confidence that he knew everything, as if all this was within his expectations.

"Found it." Stark said softly, with a hint of excitement in his voice that was hard to conceal.

But soon his expression became a little strange. His excitement was mixed with a hint of doubt, just like a hunter who thought he had captured an ordinary prey, but suddenly found that this prey was different from others.

Fisk looked at the screen. There were dense codes flashing on it. The red and green characters were like dancing elves, full of mystery. They were arranged in a seemingly disordered but seemingly orderly way, dazzling the eyes.

"What is this?" Fisk asked with a frown, his eyes fixed on the screen, trying to decipher useful information from the codes.

"Yes...it's an IP address, the original IP address." Stark's voice was a little low, his eyes still did not leave the screen, as if he was thinking about something important.

"Where is it?" There was a hint of urgency in Fisk's voice. He knew that this IP address might be the key clue to solving the whole mystery.

"New York!" Stark slowly said the name of the place, and his voice echoed in the room.

Fisk's expression also became a little strange. He was stunned for a moment, then said with a half-smile: "So it is - the light is dark!"

Chapter 230: Humiliation after defeat (Part )

"Let's go!" Su Enxi quickly dealt with all the shadow accounts.

She threw the glass bottle next to her onto the main computer in front of her. Thick smoke and a pungent smell quickly rose from the main computer. The smoke was like a giant black python, instantly filling the entire container. Su Enxi left the container decisively. Her movements were swift and agile, without the slightest hesitation.

Ling had already driven the car over. It was a black sedan that didn't look particularly special, just like most other cars. Its low-key appearance was like an ordinary person hiding in the crowd, silently waiting for its owner to arrive.

The two were about to drive away when a man suddenly jumped down from above. A cold light flashed in Ling's eyes, and a chill broke out all over her body. Her body instantly tensed up, like a cheetah ready to pounce at any time.

But the next second, a document was thrown directly onto the front windshield, with the SHIELD logo and Hawkeye Barton's information on it.

Then, a shadow flashed by, and Hawkeye got into the car. His movements were as fast as a ghost. His expression was serious and cold, and he said without question: "You have been exposed. Now follow me to the New York airport and I will take you out of the United States!"

"Are you spying on us?" Su Enxi looked at Hawkeye warily, her eyes full of doubt and vigilance. She never expected that someone from SHIELD would appear here and intervene in their affairs in such a way.

"To be precise, I want to kill you before you are completely caught.

Of course, if you can leave the United States safely, then nothing will happen.

So, drive now.”

Hawkeye's voice was low and calm, like a bottomless lake, without ripples. It seemed as if he was narrating an extremely ordinary thing, such as the sunrise and sunset that happened every day, without the slightest emotional ups and downs.

Su Enxi and Ling looked at each other. At that moment, their eyes were like two intersecting rivers, flowing with hesitation, vigilance and doubt. This hesitation was like a fog, spreading between the two of them, making their thinking become a little slow.
