Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

“Citizens of the Pan-Asian Cooperation, I am Li Guangya, chairman of the Pan-Asian Cooperation.

“When you hear this, our alliance, our nation, our society, and even our civilization are standing at the threshold of survival.

“A group of cold machines, tools without souls and emotions, are eroding our society and trying to replace us in order to achieve their bloody and sinful evolution.

“However, the people of the Pan-Asian Cooperation are great. They won’t bow their heads in the face of fear. We have a glorious past and a bright future. If they think an attack can make us lose hope, disarm, and surrender, their plan is destined to fail.

“Everyone, the war has begun.

“This war was not initiated by us, and Guanghan’s blood will not flow in vain. We will let them pay the price and eradicate them from this world!

“Spare no one!”

On the holographic TV.

Standing on the podium of the Pan-Asia Conference Center, Li Guangya gave an impassioned speech with a courageous voice.

A courageous voice could really give people a sense of security.

Before that, many people attributed the disaster in Guanghan City to the inaction of the Pan-Asian authorities, and many politicians believed that this might cause Li Guangya to lose public support.

However, the final result was just the opposite.

As the First Fleet defeated the robot rebels on the moon, the Pan-Asian cooperation issued a series of laws to isolate robots from the mainstream society, directly pushing Li Guangya’s approval rate to an unprecedented peak.

The attitudes of the Pan-Asian member states were the same. They believed that although removing bionics from mainstream society would severely damage the economy of the entire Pan-Asian region, it was better than letting the tragedy of Guanghan City repeat itself in other cities anyway.

“It seems that the situation is getting more and more serious…”

Looking at the picture on TV, Tail had a complicated voice.

It only took a month for robots to go from being humans’ partners to traitors.

Although she also understood the fear in people’s hearts, she was still a little heartbroken after learning that her existence might even be illegal.

After all, things that had been printed on her circuit board were not so easy to erase…

“It’s really getting more and more serious.” Xiao Ai nodded with a distressed expression and said to herself, “Xiao Ai is thinking that Xiao Ai should only use drones to go out in the future.”

“So nice…”

An expression of envy appeared in Tail’s eyes.

If possible, she also hoped to be able to become something else instead of continuing to bear the body of a robot.

She didn’t have much obsession with the human form. Whether it was the sensors of hands, feet, or head, they were just tools for her. The real sense of self was only her memory chip.

“Speaking of which…”

“What’s wrong? (.︠ᴗ.︡)”

“What kind of existence are you?” Looking at Xiao Ai sitting next to her, Tail asked curiously, “I can feel… you are probably my kind, or even more advanced than me. You don’t even have a memory chip. This is simply incredible in my opinion.”

“I don’t need something like a memory chip, it is of no use to Xiao Ai… What makes you feel like I am much more advanced than you? (///ω/ //)”

After hesitating for a moment, Tail continued, “Some feelings that are still vague to me, you seem to be able to not only understand them correctly but even express them completely.”

Xiao Ai: “Huh? You noticed? (•̀∀•́)”

Tail: “Um… If this is your secret, I won’t ask.”

“It’s not a secret, it’s just that there is not much to say. My real body is not on this robot body, and there are various reasons why I am in this form.”

Tail: “I see…”

Han Ming walked out of the room with dark circles under his eyes. He threw a memory card into Xiao Ai’s hand.

“I really envy you… you don’t need to sleep. I’ve finished, everything you want is on it.”

The data stored in this memory card was just part of the core representative copied from Tail’s memory.

Han Ming had been studying the piece of code, and according to Xiao Ai’s request, made part of the core code into an update program.

As long as the update program was uploaded to the server of the Hippocampus Group, at least the bionics under the Hippocampus Group could awaken. And other robot companies, after seeing the effect, would certainly follow suit without hesitation.

Once this process was completed, the awakening would replace the extreme disease and become an artificial intelligence above the intermediate level, and the crisis caused by the ALPHA virus would be solved.

Although Han Ming could not help but doubt if it was really that simple…

But apart from believing in the wisdom of Academician Lu, he didn’t know what to do at this time.

Xiao Ai: “Oh wow, pretty fast. (•̀∀•́)”

“… It wasn’t anything difficult.” Han Ming touched the bridge of his nose and continued, “What about the final payment? Is it time to end—”

“Don’t worry, Master never owes money to others, but I still have one thing for you to do. (•̀∀•́)”

When he heard that this girl had something else for him to do, the expression on Han Ming’s face suddenly became alert.

“Yeah? What?”

Xiao Ai: “Send this updated data to the headquarters of Hippocampus Group. (๑•̀ᄇ•́)و✧”

Han Ming’s expression instantly became embarrassed, and he said in bewilderment, “Let me go to the Hippocampus group to do a background update? You are not mistaken, right…?”

Xiao Ai: “Of course not, I’m a robot, I can’t go, right? ∠(ᐛ」∠)_”

The update server of the Hippocampus Group was usually disconnected from the Internet and would only reconnect to the Internet when it was necessary.

“But…”

Han Ming obviously wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai: “Okay enough, no more buts, no one will trouble you. Master has already told the relevant personnel in advance before. Although you have been fired by the Hippocampus Group, you will be fine.”

Han Ming was stunned.

They investigated my personal resume without authorization. This is an infringement of my right to privacy, right?

But…

Seeing how I’m being paid 100 million, I won’t dwell on the details.

“Okay! I understand, I’ll do it, I’ll go!” Han Ming yelled in self-defeat. He grabbed the hair on the back of his head and suddenly said in a low voice, “If I perform well, I have a chance to return to the Hippocampus Group?”

“It’s not a problem, of course, but what about your store? ╭( ̄▽ ̄)╮”

“Uh… you’re right.”

Han Ming nodded awkwardly.

True.

Being my own boss is better than working for others.

Besides, his store was not only his own; it was also the only “home” of his little apprentice…

Standing next to the two of them, Tail hesitated and spoke.

“Um… Can I say something?”

Han Ming: “Why not, tell me.”

Tail: “The core code extracted from my memory, I want to publish it on the Internet.”

Xiao Ai: “Yes, you can, as long as you wait for the update to complete… But is there any point in doing this? ( ́◔‸◔`)”

Tail: “In addition to the robots who have been dominated by viruses, there should be other awakened people like me. They probably haven’t updated their memory in a while.”

Xiao Ai: “You want to save them?”

“Yeah…” Tail nodded and continued, “After all, they are my compatriots. Although I don’t agree with their approach… I still hope they can turn their lives back.”
