Silicon-based life has been mentioned in many science fiction works, which is another kind of life form completely different from humans with a carbon-based structure.
The silicon-based life blueprint that the system extracted from the remains of Hades is completely blank, with no consciousness inside...or a soul.
With the humility of Consus, Aletheia carefully separated part of her soul and blended it into the liquid metal, and something magical happened.
Under Aletheia's active control, the liquid metal began to squirm and expand outwards, eventually turning into a female body with a somewhat dull expression.
When it first took shape, due to the limited amount of soul that Aletheia put into her silicon-based body, this new body looked very metallic, and it would most likely be called the police as a Terminator when walking on the street.
...Or maybe you are being treated as a cosplay girl and asking for your contact information.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the silicon-based body, Aletheia completely integrated her soul into it.
The skin that was originally glowing with metallic luster gradually became soft under Aletheia's optimization, and it no longer looked any different from a human being.
Yongzhen curiously poked the arm of Aletheia's new body, and a very natural dent appeared where the finger touched.
"So amazing."
Yongzhen said in amazement: "If no one told me that this is a silicon-based life form, it would be impossible to see the flaws even if I get close to it."
The face and figure that Aletheia made for her new body were exactly the same as her own. After her soul was completely integrated, she examined her new silicon-based body with weird movements that normal people could not do.
Specifically, Aletheia can turn her head back 180 degrees, bend forward and back at a large angle that humans cannot complete, and observe her whole body.
After the preliminary test was completed, Aletheia became more playful and turned her hands into a hammer and a screwdriver, and then into a laser drill and a two-handed sledgehammer.
"It's very good. I'm very satisfied with this new body."
Aletheia, who got a new toy, showed a satisfied smile on her face: "It saves me from having to change tools with the robotic arm, which is a waste of time."
Lu Xiao shrugged noncommittally: "Test it yourself slowly, take it easy and don't collapse the basement."
Aletheia waved her hand and said: "Of course not, this is my laboratory, and I still have many important projects to study."
"You guys should leave first. After I get used to my new body, it's time for me to start my own job."
Aletheia studied under Hephaestus.
In Zero Dawn, Hephaestus is one of Gaia's subroutines, responsible for assisting Gaia in designing and building mechanical beasts.
Although the world view is completely different, Aletheia's Isu mentor was also responsible for similar work.
Hephaestus is the most famous contemporary Isu weapon craftsman. The weapons he has produced include but are not limited to the Holy Sword of Eden. He also designed various automatic defensive energy weapons for the Isu people.
To put it simply, what Aletheia inherited from the school of Hephaestus was the "weapon craftsman" profession in the broad sense of the Isu civilization.
She doesn't only build cold weapons. All items related to weapons are within the scope of Aletheia's duties, which of course also includes various high-tech unmanned weapons.
Most of the places Lu Xiao had been to before were fantasy worlds. Aletheia lacked enough materials, as well as tools and equipment that could process powerful materials.
Although the technological level of the Zero Dawn world is far from reaching that of the far future, it is at least much more advanced than the main world where Lu Xiao lives.
Aletheia also brought back the mechanical beast she transformed in the Zero Dawn world, and also hacked a large amount of information from Homer's database.
It only takes a period of precipitation for her to fully analyze the technology tree of the Dawn of Dawn world, deeply process the existing metal materials in the main world, and achieve the super alloy strength required by the mechanical beasts, which can be used to create her own mechanical army.
.
Considering the convenience of portability, these mechanical armies cannot be made too large, and their individual combat effectiveness may not be too strong, but sometimes quantitative changes can also lead to qualitative changes.
Having a mechanical army that is completely obedient to one's own side can at least ensure that Lu Xiao can do something even when surrounded by a large number of enemies, and even turn defeat into victory.
However, Aletheia, who has just obtained a silicon-based body, still needs some time to adapt. She also needs to establish the necessary production lines before she can continuously produce automated mechanical weapons.
What happened to the old humans in the Zero Dawn world is a lesson worthy of vigilance.
After returning to the main world, Lu Xiao asked Aletheia and Consus to increase monitoring of artificial intelligence research projects in various countries to ensure that humans who like to seek death would not cause trouble in the main world.
…
After leaving the basement and returning to the living room on the ground floor of the manor, Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen took off all their equipment and took a shower as usual.
After walking out of the bath, the two of them put on their home and casual attire, basically put aside their tense nerves in the mission world, and slept together until dawn.
After getting up the next day, Lu Xiao first started to check the progress of the renovation of Monteriggioni Castle.
Under Aletheia's heavy reward mechanism, the construction team recruited from the local area is very efficient.
They have drawn relevant drawings, made all preliminary preparations, and started laying the foundation for Auditore Manor.
Since the epidemic has not completely dissipated, Aletheia has discussed with the Italian tourism department and temporarily closed the castle to the public during the renovation period.
When the Auditore Estate began to be constructed, another construction team was also renovating the castle's exterior walls at the same time, and the progress was going smoothly.
While Lu Xiao and Yong Zhen were relaxing and resting in the main world, the world situation began to change.
The general election is approaching, and Wang Dong, who is lagging far behind in the polls, is becoming more and more crazy with anxiety.
In order to win the support of conservative voters at home, and to divert the pressure caused by the unfavorable fight against the epidemic and anti-racial demonstrations, he began to frantically shift blame abroad.
As the world's second largest economy, China, whose economy is still developing rapidly, has naturally become one of his first choices.
Due to the unstable situation abroad, Lu Xiao's parents called many times hoping that he could return to China.
Lu Xiao's patient explanation failed to dispel their worries. After discussing with Yongzhen, Lu Xiao decided to temporarily return to China to meet with his elders, and a face-to-face explanation could reassure them.
Lu Xiao left the problem of purchasing air tickets to Aletheia. This small problem in life does not take up much of her computing power.
After several transfers, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen returned to Rongcheng, an important town in southwest China, hand in hand.
The meeting with my parents went smoothly, and face-to-face conversations are much more effective than phone calls and video calls.
After experiencing the baptism of the Zero Dawn world, Yongzhen's acceptance of modern technology has basically reached the standard, and Lu Xiao finally felt relieved to take her home to show her to her elders.
After learning that their son had found a girlfriend after a few years, the two were overjoyed and diluted their worries about the epidemic and situation abroad, and entrusted Yongzhen to help take care of Lu Xiao in Italy.
In addition to comforting her parents when she returned to China this time, Lu Xiao originally planned to go to Japan with Yongzhen to let her see how far contemporary Japan has developed. Unfortunately, she was unable to achieve her goal due to the impact of the epidemic.
After staying in Chengdu for a few days to rest, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen boarded the plane again to return to Italy as their parents saw them off.
When she returned to the manor, Aletheia had adapted to her new body and began to drastically transform the mechanical beast she brought back from the Zero Dawn world.
A machine in the form of a beast is not conducive to hiding in the crowd. At Lu Xiao's suggestion, Aletheia decided to transform it into a human form so that it could follow Lu Xiao and disguise itself as a butler or bodyguard when there was no need to fight.
After returning from the trip, Lu Xiao regained her relaxed attitude and began to patiently interrogate the system about the situation in the next world.
