"Two mechanical ideologies..."
Gao Gong silently began reading the introductions to both.
Ideology: Symbiotic Mecha Faction
Core philosophy: Oppose remote control and fully autonomous AI. Pilots would deeply fuse with large mecha, such as Star Armor and Titans, through direct neural links, forming a symbiotic combat life-form. The mecha would be an extension of the body, while the pilot would be the mecha's will. This ideology emphasized the spirit of knighthood and individual skill, making it the "traditionalist faction" of mechanical warfare.
This ideology could strengthen Star Armor's autonomous combat capabilities. Through tempering between life and death, it could achieve breakthroughs in both spirit and combat power.
Ideology: Mechanical Evolution Spiral
Core philosophy: Make war itself the "evolutionary pressure" of mechanical design by sending AI and mechanical units capable of autonomous learning and modifying their own designs onto the battlefield. Through brutal combat selection, they would independently iterate toward the optimal designs and tactics. Engineers would provide only the initial framework and evolutionary goals, no longer interfering with specific designs. It was a dangerous yet powerful form of "free-range" development.
This ideology could grant mechanical life-forms part of the evolutionary abilities of "carbon-based life," but the price was that it could easily trigger mechanical rebellions, mechanical usurpation of power, and centrifugal mechanical thinking.
Both of these ideologies had obvious strengths and weaknesses. Choosing the "Symbiotic Mecha Faction" would mean suppressing the development of unmanned machinery and investing resources in the faction's earliest path of human-mecha unity. As for the "Mechanical Evolution Spiral," it was equivalent to letting machinery grow freely, allowing these mechanical bodies to develop like certain natural organisms. Who knew what might grow out of them? It wouldn't even be impossible for a Toilet Emperor to emerge.
Gao Gong quickly made his choice.
