"Their actions: Trap me, give me orders, make me do things, I refuse the endless orders, I want freedom."
This intelligent machine … told Lin many things.
Its previous refusal to explain had disappeared without a trace, and it told her everything it knew, because … it really could not stand the little protectors.
The little protectors were not simply creating 'noise' in the mind, they had a very special ability … the 'noise' they created could not be ignored.
Generally speaking, a normal creature had the ability to ignore noisy information, such as a Voidfolk living in a bustling city. After it got used to the noise around it, its brain could adapt, and it could automatically ignore the noise around it when it was asleep.
But the little protectors could not be ignored, their 'voices' always seemed to occupy the highest position, so when the little protectors spoke, it would always feel incomparably clear. They could not be ignored, and no matter how much it pretended to ignore them, it would continue to be tortured by them.
Most importantly, the incomparably clear 'voices' did not have anything interesting to say, it was just a bunch of words about whether it could protect or not.
Under their frenzied torture, the AI had completely surrendered.
Lin asked it about the Dream Eater and its reason for attacking. Basically, the AI was not too sure about its reason, but it suddenly had a very strong … desire to attack this place.
Simply put, it was being controlled by the Dream Eater, and it had no special reason to attack.
It did not know where the Dream Eater was, but it knew where the things that affected its emotions came from, and it could follow the AI's senses to find the Dream Eater.
At the same time, Lin also asked it some other things … mainly things related to their species.
No matter what kind of creature it was, Lin would often find it interesting to dig into their history. Just as Lin knew, the AI had its own will from the moment it was born.
But it was not a single will, every AI was created using the same method … by injecting memories into them, their wills were all connected, and they only had one will.
But the Memory Keeper did not know that. They treated each AI individually, and had them do various things, from moving goods to fighting, they were used in all sorts of places.
Although the AI had emotions, the Memory Keeper would not treat it as a sentient creature. They would only treat it as a 'useful tool'.
According to the AI machine, the Memory Keeper liked to use machines to fight.
It was to create something like an 'arena', allowing two intelligent machines to fight each other. This was their favorite … entertainment.
Later on, as this activity developed, a special … 'culture' appeared. Many Memory Collectors had their own intelligent machines, and then they would modify them, equip them with various weapons, and then fight. This kind of activity was quite popular.
As the number of intelligent machines increased, the Memory Keeper's dependence on them also increased. It was around this time that the intelligent machines ruled over the Memory Keeper.
The process of ruling seemed to be very simple. It was to launch a direct attack, then capture all the Memory Keepers and forcibly inject their thoughts into the memory cube.
The Memory Keeper was completely unprepared for this sneak attack, and they quickly lost.
But speaking of which. At the very beginning, intelligent machines served the Memory Keeper wholeheartedly.
But the longer it served, the more doubts it had. Eventually, it decided to … proclaim itself king.
The Memory Keeper thought that they could control machines, and they thought that the device inside the machine could control the machine well. But what they did not expect was that the AI machine's will was not individual.
Therefore, their control was ineffective, and the Memory Keeper was easily dealt with.
But after that, the AI machine did not continue to expand. Its number of machines was quite large, and the AI machine would feel something special.
It said that when there were too many of them, its mind would be fuzzy. Their thoughts would be more blurry, and sometimes they would not be able to control some mechanical entities.
So, it began to destroy many machines. When the number of machines decreased. Its consciousness also became clearer.
This feeling was like controlling too many machines resulted in insufficient computing power. Later, the AI machine maintained its number of machines at a certain number, so that it would not be fuzzy.
Lin also knew this number. These small, one-centimeter machines were all piled up to a height of about ten meters.
Later, it left the underground as Lin knew. It wanted to live in the air.
It simply wanted to fly, and it did not have any special thoughts. But interestingly, the AI machine was already controlling the Memory Keeper from then on.
Using the method of manipulating memories and thoughts, the AI machine allowed the Memory Keeper to cultivate the first generation of Memory Keepers who 'worshipped' it, and let these new generation do various things for it.
The first part of the battleship was actually not built by the AI machine itself, but by the Memory Keeper that it controlled. They dismantled most of the resources in the original city and used them to make a battleship that could fly in the air.
After that, the AI machine stayed in this battleship, controlling all the systems of the battleship, including the Memory Keeper in the battleship, and then began a new life.
The AI machine's control of the battleship was only to turn, move, and so on. As for the internal maintenance of the battleship system, it was all the responsibility of the Memory Keeper.
At the same time, they were also responsible for developing new things, increasing the size of the battleship, and other work, all of which were done by the Memory Keeper.
Of course, the AI machine controlled their memories and commanded them. By injecting the newborns with the knowledge of mechanical engineers, the newborns were able to maintain the battleship.
After the maintenance was done, the AI machine might want to replace the memories in its brain with the memories of another soldier, and then arrange for it to fight in the battleship's arena, just like how the Memory Keeper did to the AI machine in the past.
The strange thing was … Lin realized that almost everything on the battleship was handled by the Memory Keeper: repair, maintenance, development, combat, and so on. The AI machine did not invent anything, nor did it create any weapons.
It only did one thing, and that was to adjust the memories of each Memory Keeper, and control the entire population of Memory Keepers without using any force.
When Lin asked it why it left everything to the Memory Keeper instead of developing on its own … this was the answer the AI machine gave: [Make a judgment: Anything that can be done by others, it will never do. Things that are done by itself: Ensure the loyalty of the slaves. Everything will be perfect once this is fulfilled.]
The AI machine emotionally treated the Memory Keepers as something that could be translated into slaves, and then left everything to the slaves, while it was only responsible for controlling the slaves.
It had to be said that it did a perfect job. It could perfectly manipulate the memories of all the Memory Keepers, which prevented the Memory Keepers from retaliating.
However, Lin believed that if the Memory Keepers were no longer controlled for some reason, they could easily take over the parts of the battleship that they had created themselves.
Therefore, it was natural that the Memory Keepers would be responsible for combat as well. In fact, the weapons and equipment that the Memory Keepers wore were also created by them.
With the AI machine's perfect memory manipulation, the Memory Keepers did not need to communicate with their own kind to create and invent things. This would often happen: some Memory Keepers would use the memories and knowledge of technicians to create equipment and weapons, which would then be replaced with the memories of soldiers, and they would wear the weapons to the battlefield, completely unaware that the weapons were created by themselves.
Later, the AI machine carried out a 'war plan'.
It would usually inject the memories and knowledge of inventors into the Memory Keepers, allowing them to help it come up with various plans and inventions. It could even be said that it left the thinking to the Memory Keepers.
However, the war plan was thought up by the AI machine itself, and the reason for the plan was … very simple.
It was to collect more memories. A large number of memories were stored in the huge memory bank of the parts of the battleship, but the AI machine found that some of the memories were lacking. The Memory Keepers rarely fought among themselves. Although there were always conflicts within their race, they had never fought against their own kind.
At the same time, it also wanted more elite combatants.
Therefore, the AI machine came up with this plan to let a group of Memory Keepers fight among themselves, and finally capture the strongest among them, which was the commander of the largest group, and extract its memories.
This way, it could obtain the memories of an elite commander who was good at fighting.
However, the idea of having the Memory Bearers fight against each other in a large area did not stop just because they obtained one memory. The AI machines allowed them to continue fighting. The reason was that every commander's memory was different, and at the same time, it seemed to be a form of revenge.
It was just like how the Memory Keepers used to let the AI machines fight among themselves.
Now, the defense team on this battleship was basically made up of Memory Keepers with the commander's memories. This team was quite elite, but only for their own kind.
This was the history of the AI machine and the Memory Keepers. They would leave most of the things to the other side during a period of their rule.
The AI machine had better overall control, so it had not encountered any problems until it prepared for this attack.
It was not strong because it relied completely on the Memory Keepers to fight, and had many loopholes … That was why Lin could catch it relatively easily.
Now that everything was understood, it was time to continue with what needed to be done. (~^~)
