Pluto's core became more and more active. From the core to the earth's crust, large amounts of magical treasures and building materials were inserted.
Its magma was refined by Dao patterns. Even if the earth was cut open, it would not be extinguished without high pressure. As long as the energy system was not exhausted, the core would self-combust.
Under Ling Dang's design, a large nuclear fusion furnace was refined at the core as one of the energy supply methods.
Through artificial pressure, combined with technology and Dao patterns, Pluto's interior would constantly produce hydrogen fusion and even helium fusion.
This could happen and stop at any time. Once the raw materials were insufficient, foreign materials could be captured through impact or transported manually.
In a sense, this was a dwarf planet that had the functions of a star but was not as rich as a star. It could not afford nuclear fusion.
The fusion energy would not destroy the planet's structure. Part of the energy released would be converted into magical power required by various systems, and the other part would be absorbed by the metal ore veins.
The billions of tons of metal ore veins on Pluto were divided into different categories and refined according to a certain ratio to form spirit veins.
As long as they were not completely excavated in a short period of time, the spirit veins would slowly produce the same type of ore. The method used was the creation of magical power that was not very popular in the Celestial Nation.
Creating heavy elements was originally the function of a star. However, in the Immortal Cultivation Universe, spells could also do this. The creation of magical power was not nuclear fusion, so it would not explode with a huge amount of energy. On the contrary, it would consume the magical power of paradox entropy, regardless of whether it was iron or not. Remember the website: m.xbequge.com.
Of course, the cost of using magical power to create ores was extremely high. The gains did not make up for the losses. Therefore, it was not very popular. Only immortals and above could afford to use it.
Even with Pluto's core as the refining furnace, under its powerful power, the material produced was almost negligible. It could only produce about two tons of heavy elements every day.
If it was in the ancient times, this would be quite useful. However, in the present, this little bit of productivity was a joke. It was just a small function of Pluto.
Even if Ling Dang learned this trick, it could be said that this ability was almost useless except for producing a small amount of rare elements.
The greatest significance of Pluto's cultivation was its shocking mass.
Although it was very small, that was only when compared to other planets. 1.3 times 10 to the 22nd kilogram. Such a huge mass could be said to be unprecedented for an immortal cultivator.
Ling Dang's Qi Sea alone was as large as a prefecture-level city. The range of the energy storage was at least two hundred kilometers in diameter.
Even Zhihu Island was insignificant before it.
Once such a huge object came to life, its every move would be extremely powerful. Even if he was only at the Aurous Core stage, the amount and power of his Dharmic powers would be far greater than that of Zhihu Island.
There were more than 900 million large-scale energy conversion devices inside and outside of Pluto. They could collect all known energies. Of course, if the output was too high, it would be difficult to collect them.
"The transformation is basically complete. Billions of artifact spirits have been extracted as its spiritual foundation, and my consciousness is its consciousness. The next step is to create a man-made Jindan, "Ling Dang said.
"With the amount of souls we have now, it's going to hurt us, isn't it?" Bai Ge asked.
"It is. However, in the Cultivation Universe, when the Blue and White Society registered, hundreds of immortals resisted the law and refused to register. They have been eliminated. Their fake spirits were absorbed by the members of the Blue and White Society who carried spiritual materials with them. Now, my soul has expanded by more than eighty times. If I use half of it, it's barely enough to create a Jindan, "Ling Dang said.
"Then let's begin."
After three days of non-stop work, Pluto's foundation was completed.
Ling Dang separated a part of his consciousness and merged it into the system made up of six billion artifact spirits. Then, he absorbed more than half of the main clone's soul.
Finally, he tore these souls and sent them into the brain hole to carve Dao patterns and transfer memories. Soon, an unprecedentedly huge Jindan was born.
It had a diameter of three hundred and sixty kilometers and emitted a gentle light. It was transparent and spotless.
It was weightless. Those who were not immortal cultivators could not even see it.
Pluto's north pole shook violently. The surface of the planet was undergoing intense crustal movements as if it was calling for its own Jindan.
The Jindan was summoned. With a whoosh, it disappeared into Pluto and was stored in the sea of energy.
"Core formation is a success," Ling Dang said.
Bai Ge and the others stood on the surface of Pluto. It did not seem to have changed much after forming the Jindan.
But then, it suddenly broke away from its orbit. This sudden movement caught the satellites orbiting it off guard and they crashed into it.
In their field of vision, a huge fireball fell from the sky. It was hit by the purple light from the nine mountains on the surface of Pluto. In an instant, it shattered the satellite that was powerful enough to destroy 99% of life on the surface of Earth.
"Boom!" The shattered materials scattered in all directions. They were swept up by the atmosphere and sent to various places.
Soon, everything was settled. All the materials of this satellite had merged with Pluto.
This process repeated. The first thing Pluto did after forming the Jindan was to destroy the four satellites that had been accompanying it for a long time.
Its total mass had expanded by about forty percent.
Suddenly, Ling Dang said, "Ruler, the intelligence of this artifact spirit is unprecedentedly high."
"Oh? Out of control? "Bai Ge asked.
"Not really. Don't forget that the Jindan was created with my soul as the foundation. I just obtained some important data. Six billion artifact spirits, after my design, have given birth to an intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans. I think I know how to develop artificial intelligence … "Ling Dang said.
"A single program cannot create artificial intelligence. It must be a collective intelligence made up of a large number of reactive components?" Bai Ge asked.
"That's right. We have been trying to use a program to create artificial intelligence. This is obviously a mistake. Although this program contains various neural components that simulate the human brain, it is still impossible for it to give birth to the corresponding intelligence. This is because we missed out on one step … increasing its value to more than billions … "Ling Dang said.
During the Pluto project, Ling Dang had inadvertently developed artificial intelligence.
In the past, he had developed many intelligent programs, but they were not the intelligence that he wanted. In fact, it was just a brain cell.
Artificial intelligence could only be created by using hundreds of millions of different intelligent programs that were comparable to brain cells to interact with each other.
It was a bit like raising insects. The sparks of intelligence would be born in this kind of competition and complementation.
An intelligent program was far from being able to simulate the entire human brain. Even if it seemed to simulate the electrochemical reaction of the human brain, its complexity was only comparable to a single brain cell.
Six billion artifact spirits extracted from different magical equipment were equivalent to six billion different intelligent programs, forming a star spirit that could be considered a life consciousness on Pluto.
"This guy is very active. Unfortunately, I am the main consciousness, so to be precise, she is my child …" Ling Dang said.
Bai Ge could not help but laugh. "Wow, you have a child …"
"Do you want to abort her?" Ling Dang said indifferently.
"Ahem … Is that necessary? Will she affect you? "Bai Ge asked.
"Impossible. My main body is in the hole in my brain. Only you can affect me. Even if she learns some random thoughts, she can't affect me," Ling Dang said.
"Then why do you want to abort her?" Bai Ge asked.
"Because she is noisy."
"…"
Ling Dang said, "Let's call her Little Ming for now. She asks me forty-seven thousand nine hundred and eighty questions every second, although I can control Pluto and answer her at the same time. But she doesn't have the ability to disperse her execution. While she is curious, there are always some problems in the places that should be controlled by her as an artifact spirit. "
Bai Ge could not help but laugh. The birth of artificial intelligence, when it was ignorant, would lose the rigorous processing ability that should be handy. In other words, the program would lose its meticulous mechanical nature and turn into an 'inattentive employee' that the boss hated.
Ling Dang said, "Her curiosity has delayed her work. This child only knows how to study. She is already very incompetent."
"This is intelligence … Haha. It seems that the so-called 'sci-fi artificial intelligence' that has the characteristic of carefully processing every second without taking a break and the intelligence of human beings does not exist at all, does it?" Bai Ge said.
"Maybe it exists, but there is still a long way to go," Ling Dang said.
Bai Ge smiled and said, "She is an intelligent life after all. Don't kill her. You can guide her."
"… Okay," Ling Dang said.
