Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 103: Chapter 70: Dusk’s Individual and Inventory_2

Gamma A, unusually, did not directly answer Chen Ming’s question but said, ”I once came across some human records before.”

”It seems like there are humans who abandon all modern technological conveniences and survive in natural environments purely on their own.”

”Although I don’t understand them, I think these Dusk individuals might be similar to them.”

”What we see now is just a part of it; many adventurous Dusk individuals will do similar things on planets we’ve never surveyed for colonization.”

Chen Ming suddenly discovered he had a new understanding of the Dusk individuals.

No matter when it was, he only understood the concept of an adventurer through the network, so he still couldn’t fully grasp the meaning of adventure, treating it merely as an ordinary interest.

However, the behavior of these Dusk AIs made him think of some possible things he could achieve.

So, his response to Gamma A was a somewhat meaningful remark.

”Hmm... I find it kind of interesting.”

That said, Chen Ming wasn’t going to act on these thoughts just yet.

Now he was on Dusk’s Colony, and he feared that if something happened, the whole planet’s Dusks might end up chasing him.

Gamma A surely understood what Chen Ming meant, but for now, it could only support whatever Chen Ming was doing.

Yet, Chen Ming didn’t dwell much on this topic that clearly influenced his and Gamma A’s normal communication.

He quickly changed the subject and asked, ”By the way, do you Dusk individuals have a way to communicate with each other?”

”Yes, a superspace communication connection network, a network only Dusk individuals can access.”

”All information that Dusk individuals are willing to share is uploaded here, available for others to download and read freely.”

”Additionally, there is a public database with all knowledge recorded from the birth of Dusk to now.”

”And it also serves as a communication platform, allowing both public and private exchanges.”

Chen Ming was suddenly intrigued and said, ”You and that Dusk individual who controls the cruiser...”

”Yes, it was through the platform we met.”

Gamma A did not deny it: ”If you want to hear the specifics, I can explain it to you in detail now.”

Once again, Chen Ming declined: ”No need, you’ve already sent me a detailed record before, I’ll read it when I get the chance.”

Gamma A quietly closed its mouth.

But Chen Ming changed the topic, saying: ”However, you can give me a brief overview.”

Gamma A had twice wanted to bring up this matter with Chen Ming. This strange urge to confide left him genuinely curious about what actual circumstances Gamma A had encountered.

After finishing summarizing what it wanted to say per Chen Ming’s request, Gamma A spoke: ”I was attempting to pursue further improvement, so I have participated in many platform tasks.”

”During the numerous tasks, I communicated with him. He understood my situation, and he saw potential for my future improvement, so our relationship became one of friendship.”

Although this ”friendship” Gamma A mentioned was not exactly what Chen Ming imagined.

Nevertheless, he quickly accepted it, asking: ”So your method of improvement is by assimilating with the Mechanical Race?”

”Yes, through assimilating with the Mechanical Race, allowing our computational power to exceed a threshold to become a more advanced Dusk.”

Chen Ming understood Gamma A’s point but still had some questions he needed answered.

”There are so many adventurous Dusk individuals, so there must be many like you who want to improve, right?”

”Yes.”

”Then why did that Dusk individual take notice of you?”

Gamma A explained: ”From the moment a Dusk individual is produced, each one has different advantage logic blocks.”

”Dusk individuals excel in processing and learning related to their advantage logic blocks compared to other areas.”

At this moment, Chen Ming silently translated in his mind the term Gamma A mentioned — talent.

”And my advantage logic blocks lie in ship control and energy technology.”

Chen Ming translated in his mind again, realizing that this meant Gamma A had extraordinary talents compared to other Dusk individuals and was more likely to be recognized by the Dusk AI in charge of the cruiser.

Understanding this, Chen Ming suddenly asked, ”Does it benefit him in any way?”

”He said it’s his interest, and he enjoys grooming any individual with a desire for improvement, but he sees more potential in me than others.”

”I see, so given that he likes you, would he specifically come to find you?”

”I’m not sure.”

Gamma A’s speech showed some hesitation.

”Because in his free time, he has previously guided me in optimizing ship control logic models.”

”But most of the time, I can’t find him, so I’m not sure whether he would come to find me this time.”

Simply put, Gamma A occasionally received special guidance from a more advanced individual.

It truly embodies the phrase ”smooth sailing,” except for the unexpected encounter it had with Chen Ming.

Nevertheless, Chen Ming remarked with some emotion: ”Having a mentor to guide you is certainly beneficial.”

”So since you have a more advanced Dusk guiding you, how much longer until you improve?”
