Yang Ming and Carters just walked up and down the street, blending into the crowd and observing everything around them.
Almost all the prominent walls are filled with billboards, and even if some walls are not covered with display screens or floor plans, they are often spray-painted with graffiti.
The streets are full of idle people wandering around, talking to each other, and from time to time conflicts and fights break out.
There were also large-scale gang fights, and gunshots were heard from a distance.
However, the pedestrians and vendors on the street seemed to be used to it and were still doing their own things.
In the dark alley corners, you can notice some homeless people sitting on the ground begging.
"It seems that the social atmosphere here is not very healthy."
Although the prosperity of the city's buildings is visible to the naked eye, the residents living in it seem a bit too aggressive.
[Theia: I simply scanned something even more incredible.]
"What's wrong?"
Although Theia still faces the problem of system incompatibility and needs to be cracked, her scanning device operates in one direction and can be used directly.
[Theia: The humans here are not normal people. Although their overall internal structures are quite similar, they are obviously modified creatures. 】
"Transformation? I also noticed that these so-called old humans seem to like human body modification."
Yang Ming carefully recalled what he had just seen and said,
“I just overheard that they called those modified equipment ‘magic machines’.”
[Theia: In fact, it is a prosthetic body. It is not unusual to just install a prosthetic body. Our new humans have also popularized this thing in history, but they obviously have a more fundamental difference, that is, their bodies do not
It is not a normal genetic structure.】
"Not normal genetic constructs? You mean, they are robots?"
If this is the case, it would be interesting. Human beings on this planet have abandoned their biologically inherited bodies and directly embraced mechanical bodies.
In this way, the triple star corresponds to the three ascension tendencies. The Star of the Wild God represents mechanical ascension, Ino Luxuan represents genetic ascension, and the Flame Spirit Star represents spiritual ascension.
When you think about it, these are quite logical.
[Theia: Well, how should I put it? It’s not exactly a robot, it’s not a pure mechanical body. The whole body is made of a lot of bionic materials, and it actually retains a lot of its biological nature. 】
"Then what do you think they should be called?"
[Theia: Let’s call it ‘bionic person’. This word already fits their definition very well.]
"I don't care about the name. These humans still have mechanical structures, right? What does it have to do with you intelligent beings?"
The reason why Yang Ming asked this is because of course an intelligent agent is also a kind of machine, but it is a machine with self-awareness and self-learning capabilities.
Obviously, androids also have self-awareness and self-learning functions, which are no different from humans.
[Theia: The difference is huge. We are servers and they are terminals. The level is more than a little bit higher.]
This tone sounds quite proud.
But this already gave Yang Ming some direction. He asked:
"Then you say, these androids should also have a main server responsible for managing them, right?"
[Theia: Nine times out of ten, there will be. I understand what you mean. There will indeed be a server center, and that will probably be where the emperor is.]
"Yes, that's what I think. We have to follow some clues to find the server, and then we can meet the emperor."
[Theia: This is an idea. How about you find a way to contact them first? 】
Since he wanted to make contact, Yang Ming chose to ask Yang’s opinion first:
"Yang, what do you think?"
"Hmm... I want to know how these bionic people gained consciousness?"
[Theia: I speculate that the technology of consciousness uploading is used. Considering that the emperor also has an evil spell called 'soul diversion', it cannot be ruled out that these consciousnesses are the emperor's diverted souls. 】
"You mean, she recycled her soul and redistributed it to the android?"
[Theia: It can be understood this way. In fact, we new humans can also use this technology, and the principles are much the same.]
The soul recovery technology of new humans can be realized through life support devices. The recovered souls will be put back into the culture cabin and attached to the newborn fetus.
Yang wanted to figure out the relationship, mainly because he wanted to determine whether the other party was a human being.
This is very important, because Yang Ming will also face the 'curse of shameful death'. When facing the hostile old humans, how to deal with it will be a problem.
"Yang..."
"Don't worry."
Before Yang Ming could speak, Yang took the lead and said,
"Just think of them as human beings. You just don't need to show mercy when you meet someone who is hostile."
In this situation, we can still find some reasons for psychological comfort. After all, their souls will be recycled to the emperor after death, waiting to be re-introduced.
"I understand, but then again, the emperor must have absolute control over this world. Why does it seem so chaotic here?"
In other words, why do you deliberately simulate such a chaotic scene when you can clearly control it?
This is really puzzling to Yang Ming.
[Theia: These androids will have cognitive impairment, and some abnormal things will be recognized as normal, and vice versa. In general, it is all to allow them to fight endlessly. 】
"Is it necessary to go to this point?"
Such endless battles are ridiculous from the perspective of the entire human alliance, because there are simply too many resources in the universe to be used up.
If it is just to maintain operation, the emperor can just seek support from the alliance. Moreover, this planet does not seem to be lacking in resources, and its technological level has reached a high standard.
[Theia: The reason for this is that I'm afraid I have to meet the emperor herself and confront her face to face. However, this world is not as disorderly and chaotic as you think. It is more like a performance. Many things may just go wrong.
A cutscene.】
Theia should have started to connect to the surveillance system and observe the surrounding situation. She will have a better understanding of what is happening now.
As for Yang Ming, his first goal is still to meet the emperor and ask the truth about everything face to face.
Before that, I must act decisively and not waste too much time.
"Ordered chaos, ha, that's really weird."
Thinking of this, Yang Ming no longer hesitated and said,
"No matter what, I will focus on the mission."
Later, Yang Ming began to take Carters with him, preparing to intentionally intervene in certain disputes to learn more about what the old humans in this world were like.
