Machine Will (Part One)

Generally speaking, large-scale artificial intelligence can be divided into two types: industrial and virtual. The former is simple, such as the Matrix in The Matrix, Skynet in Terminator, and the three mother cities of the machine-shattered planet.

This type of artificial intelligence can mass-produce destructive machines, overwhelming everything with a swarm of machines; it's a classic case of "as long as I can draw blood, I can kill you."

However, this type of industrial AI has two drawbacks. One is that it is not very good at countering virtual technologies, such as Matrix, which was almost replaced by its own antivirus software. The other is that the subject is too big and is easy to be destroyed, such as Skynet, which was destroyed by a Terminator with explosives.

As for large-scale virtual AI, a typical example is the previous life of the high-level engineer, who directly created a virtual world that could be continuously iterated, requiring almost no external assistance except for the host machine being exposed in reality.

Especially after complete virtualization, mature stars become "computer power supplies", electron clouds covering galaxies become "graphics cards", cosmic magnetic fields become "central processing units", and dark matter becomes "hard drives".

The owner of a virtual world is so powerful that you might not even know it exists unless you want to.

The Gensokyo of the High School of Technology was once hailed as one of the ten most mysterious places in the universe.

However, the drawback of this virtual world is that its combat power is really not good. Although the senior engineer later chose to make up for it with a maid army, the "maid army" is not just about virtual technology.

Moreover, if even a corner of this virtual world is damaged, it can easily trigger a chain reaction.

The "machine will" belongs to the former category. It is similar to a farming version of "Skynet" or "Matrix". It is not as dangerous. Every mechanical civilization has numerous "machine wills" responsible for the production of billions of machines on each planet.

Therefore, in the universe, the "machine will" is also called the "production will," which is an important part of the mechanical civilization's dominance of the universe through manufacturing.

Transforming living people into 'AI' is not uncommon. Ironhide is a type of low-level AI, and androids can also be considered a kind of artificial intelligence, except that they possess human-like thinking. Rose is such an example.

There is also a task-oriented type of artificial intelligence, such as Miyamoto Sanzo's AI apprentice, now the assassin instructor Sasaki Jiro.

However, these are all personalized modifications. In this cyber test field, as long as the technology is in place, the difficulty is not that great.

What the senior engineer needs to do is turn Director Du into a large-scale AI.

The difference between large AI and ordinary AI is roughly equivalent to the difference between a faction leader and an ordinary player.

To put it more vividly, it's like the Matrix and the octopus robot it controls, or Skynet and a traitorous T-800.

Large-scale AI transformation involves not just one person, but an entire industrial system.

At this moment, the senior engineer appeared at Base One, wearing a safety helmet, and began to readjust various pipes, just like adjusting a person's blood vessels.

At Base Two, where most of the faction's "unique buildings" are located, the senior engineer began installing the "Industrial Intelligence Network," much like installing a brain.

This "industrial smart network" is somewhat like an upgraded version of "digital city," only more complex. It encompasses environmental parameters, energy system indicators, production system operations, and various technology development data. To address this, the senior engineer specifically purchased over a dozen advanced AIs without personality chips through the security team's channels to solve the computing power problem.

Then, within the Flame Gate, he began to manage the entire 'Internet of Things' with the spaceship's intelligence at its heart.

The "Internet of Things" composed of the three bases, after being manipulated by the senior engineer, seems to have transformed into the structure of the human body. The factory is the body, the various pipes are the blood vessels, the "Internet of Things" is transformed into the nervous system, and the hundreds of thousands of sensors, scanners, and monitors are transformed into the human body's sensing system.

The entire "Cable Oasis" seemed to have transformed into a gigantic body.

This body needs a subjective consciousness, a personality chip.

"Advisor, we've prepared what you requested," a hacker from the security team said indifferently on the virtual screen.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's alright. Although the workload is indeed quite large, this algorithm is very interesting and inspiring for us."

"Mechanical divinity" is actually an algorithm, except that this algorithm is compiled from neural signals and mimicry data.

This algorithm does not operate on computer systems, but rather on the human brain system.

Mechanical divinity: This algorithm can effectively distribute the instructions of the human brain into hundreds or thousands of parts and input them into different systems, which can significantly reduce the consumption of neurotransmitters in the human brain.

The algorithm is loaded into a helmet-style implantation chamber and can be directly downloaded into the brain through the cerebral cortex.

What the senior engineer needs to do is to perform neuromodification surgery on Director Du while downloading the data, so that Director Du's brain can adapt to the new "operating mode" and the integration of human, algorithm, and system.

If the experiment succeeds, Director Du will transform into "machine will" and manipulate everything in the system.

If the transformation is successful, Director Du's workload alone will be equivalent to that of a thousand people, and he can directly crush all the competitors.

For a workaholic like Director Du, this is the perfect makeover.

"You swear you won't put anything else on me?"

"I swear!"

"You swear you won't do anything to my character?"

"Only Cyber Hacker can manipulate other people's personalities; I'm just a prosthetic doctor."

While it sounds interesting to give Director Du a hidden personality, like a masochist, unfortunately, only advanced Cyber Hacker can program such a personality.

What a pity!

After confirming that the senior engineer wouldn't do anything wrong, Director Du, dressed in surgical scrubs, slowly lay down.

Interestingly, this super genius with three "talent templates" is extremely resistant to human modification. If "machine will" didn't involve any human hardware, Director Du might have refused.

"Let's begin."

Director Du lay down decisively and even refused anesthesia, because anesthesia would affect perception and interfere with the modification of "mechanical divinity" to some extent.

Although this has a negligible impact.

The senior engineer nodded, becoming extremely focused, and even gave himself a boost of mental energy.

The next moment, six robotic arms landed on Director Du's head.

With the algorithm injected into the "helmet-style implantation chamber," massive amounts of simulated data were directly poured into his brain. Director Du clenched his hands tightly, even squeezing out blood.

Thirty seconds later, Director Du's skull was removed and divided into dozens of pieces, each with a large number of neural networks attached to it.

The senior engineer was focused, his scalpel wielding him like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox. His "True Eye" could directly see changes in nerve signals, allowing him to adjust the nervous system accordingly.

At the same time, at Base One, Base Two, and Base Three, numerous signal lights illuminated, as if bodies frozen for countless years were gradually regaining their biological signals.

Director Du seemed to be having a dream, a very long dream.
