The AI civilization did not have a city, only a cold mechanical base. There were no living people inside, only dead silence. However, it was an extremely prosperous scene in the virtual world. They had built a virtual world, and every invisible member of their race had their own body in the virtual world.
To them, the virtual world was their home, and the bases, cities, mainframes, and so on in the real world were just defensive measures that they had built to protect their home.
Risda and Aroshia were the citizens of this civilization, two AI life forms.
Because AI life forms did not have any physiological desires (unless they were equipped with simulation modules), and the structure of their civilization was not limited by productivity, there was basically no hierarchy, and everyone was equal. It was almost like a utopia. Their method of communication was to directly exchange data, and the efficiency was countless times higher than words, text, and images. They could transmit a huge amount of information in an instant, and only mind-reading could be compared to this.
When Risda spoke up to this point, Han Xiao immediately understood what was going on.
AI life forms that had evolved to this level were, in a sense, almost equivalent to souls.
Ordinary life forms would first have a body before having consciousness, but AI life forms were the opposite, having consciousness first.
What happened next confirmed Han Xiao's premonition. Indeed, this AI civilization had been targeted, and the one who targeted them was a Beyond Grade A Mechanic!
This person had broken through all the fortresses of the AI civilization, sealed their virtual home, cut off the network, and captured all the AI life forms of the entire civilization. These AI life forms were materials for him to create weapons.
He locked all the AI life forms into a mainframe and used programs to suppress the independent consciousness of these AI life forms, enslaving them, leaving them with high-speed logic and extremely strong learning abilities. That person treated the AI life forms as' souls' and injected them into their bodies, changing their life forms and turning them into man-made weapons that obeyed his orders, a huge army.
This process was somewhat similar to a Psychic's Mind Host.
Aroshia's current life form was one of the types of 'weapons' that could be mass-produced. Her 'soul' had been injected with a ball of energy through some kind of technology, turning her from an AI life form into a man-made energy life form.
After turning into a weapon, the body was no longer a "tool" that could be changed freely, but a "body" that one's consciousness could not leave. It was like a shackle that restricted the freedom of these "souls," just like most ordinary species.
However, once the body was destroyed, the shackles would be broken. Due to the unique characteristic of an AI life form living in the virtual world, it would not die along with the body. Instead, through the ubiquitous quantum network nodes, it would directly ignore the physical distance and return to the virtual network host built by the Mechanic, and the data of the body would be backed up. That Mechanic used top-notch technology to make it follow the data and automatically reorganize itself physically. Through the psionic energy quantum transmission channel, it consumed the energy of the base and restored the body of the weapon.
This was the reason why Aroshia was "immortal". However, she was not controlled by the program, so the data of her rebirth was flawed. Under normal circumstances, a reborn weapon would not lose its memory and power like Aroshia.
That Beyond Grade A Mechanic had created a powerful army that could be recycled. Every weapon was an independent warrior!
Magic and technology were different paths leading to the same destination. Such a level of technology already resembled magic.
In order to completely kill such a weapon, the only way was to destroy the AI life form in the virtual world.
Usually, it was an ordinary species that developed technology, but in the end, they went overboard and were wiped out by the AI. However, this time, it was countless AI life forms that were enslaved by others.
Aroshia and Risda were fish that had escaped the net, and they were extremely lucky to have escaped the control of the enslavement program. The two of them wanted to save all their brethren, so they had to destroy the host physically. Only then could they restart the independent consciousness of all their brethren.
Thus, Risda took the opportunity to control the assembly line of this weapon on the network to help Aroshia reconstruct her body. However, before he could take action, the alarm was triggered, and countless of their brethren that had been turned into weapons chased after the two of them. The two of them could only escape. Risda used the network to snatch one of the Beyond Grade A Blacklight Stealth ships and escaped with Aroshia. However, he was outnumbered and fell into a wormhole. The two of them were thus separated.
The changes in the body would cause the mind to change as well. Aroshia originally needed time to reorganize her consciousness and adapt to her body, but the continuous pursuit had left her with no time to rest. In the end, it caused her to lose her memories and thoughts.
…
After listening to Risda's story, the three of them had a 'you're f * cking kidding me' expression.
"The Immortal Army? A super strong Mechanic? "
Han Xiao almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
These two labels were too unique, and he almost thought that they were talking about him. Of course, this was impossible. Han Technician knew who this person was. He was too famous, and it was impossible for him not to know.
This Beyond Grade A Mechanic was the top instructor of the Mechanic class players in his previous life!
Furthermore, he was one of the main characters of the [Calamity of the Supers] main storyline in the later versions, forming a faction of his own!
"To think that he would be related to the main storyline in the later versions. Just who did I save?"
Han Xiao rubbed his temples and felt a headache.
Stop messing around, sister! I haven't even started Version 2.0 yet! Can't we just play around properly?
Even if Han Xiao used his butt to think, he could guess what the final goal of the [Reboot] mission was. It was definitely to reboot the independent consciousness of those AI life forms and save them from the evil hands of a Beyond Grade A big shot. Could this mission be any safer?
Do you think I'm a dung beetle that likes to look for sh * t?
"I've already told you the truth," Risda said. "Whether you're willing to help or not, I have to stay and wait for her to regain her memories."
The three of them exchanged glances. Aroshia had a blank expression on her face. This feeling was as if she was an ordinary Chinese office worker who worked from nine to five. Then, one day, someone jumped out and said that she was a citizen of the African country of Abalatutu. She was actually a black person, just that she looked a little yellow. Now, all the people in her country were being controlled by aliens, and she had to be dragged back to get rid of the aliens and save her country.
What kind of feeling was this?
Aroshia was in a mess.
Han Xiao calmed himself down and thought about the pros and cons of this matter. As for the cons, let's not talk about it. Whether or not to do this mission could be discussed in the future. However, there was an obvious benefit at the moment. If Risda stayed, did that mean that they could use the BlackLight Stealth for the time being?
Han Xiao was instantly energized. The BlackLight Stealth was a high-end product that was worth tens of millions of Enas. It only needed a few microseconds to warm up from start to jump. It was the Maserati or Bugatti of the spaceship world. It would be very impressive to drive it out, and it would also save him the trouble of renting spaceships everywhere.
This is f * cking awesome!
Because of Ovenn's mission, Han Xiao rejected Risda's request to leave immediately. He told Risda to wait there, and they would come over after they were done. Risda had no choice but to agree.
The three of them bid farewell to him and left the spaceship. On the way, they slowly digested the huge amount of information and calmed their nerves.
Han Xiao did not expect Aroshia to have such a background. However, there was no risk at the moment. He patted Aroshia on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too conflicted. No matter what happens in the future, at least you are still yourself now."
Aroshia nodded softly.
When they walked to the elevator area, Han Xiao's communicator suddenly rang.
As soon as he opened the communicator, Herlous' face appeared on the screen with an anxious expression.
"Black Star, we are in big trouble. Dark-star has found Ovenn's main body!"
Han Xiao's expression changed immediately.
