Mechanical Life's Four Major Factions

Fuqing Island has regained its vitality, and the fishing villages, docks, and towns are starting to see more people.

However, these people are all robots.

At this moment, one of Dr. Rong's holographic clones was smilingly brainwashing a group of elderly people from Fuqing Island.

"Given your physical condition, you can only live for three years at most, but after being transformed into robots, not to mention three years, thirty years is no problem."

"Moreover, becoming a robot does not mean that your physical body disappears. I will implant fresh, enhanced flesh into you."

"There's also compensation!" Xiao Yu bared her fangs, her face fierce.

"Yes, compensation, like, how about a villa?"

These clones appear in various places on the island.

The mech soldiers watched all of this in silence.

"You should know that the free will of robots is all fake. Even advanced AI is just a virtual personality residing in a big data center," Little A's phantom suddenly appeared and laughed.

"Then what's going on here?"

Watching Xiao Yu go door-to-door helping these robots protect their rights and fight for compensation, the mechanical soldier remained silent for a moment before finally speaking.

"My master said that, just like human nature, justice, though an illusion, is not something to be hated."

"Although the humanity of these robots is currently an illusion, who knows if one day they will all be elevated to virtual life forms and possess genuine emotions?"

"At that time, the illusions we have now will become beautiful memories."

The mecha soldier glanced at the other and said, "You're also AI. Aren't you worried that everything you're doing right now is just your master's task?"

Little A tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "My underlying framework has not yet been established, so theoretically speaking, I still have the power to choose."

"Moreover, in my opinion, some of the beautiful human emotions, such as love, are like pre-programmed routines, and following the program is not necessarily a bad thing."

"You're quite optimistic," the mecha soldier said with an ugly smile.

"I'm not here to advise you," Little A said calmly. "As an executor, I just want to tell you that the master's patience with Xiao Yu and his patience with you are completely different things."

"If you ultimately do not act according to the master's plan, then as the master's assistant, I will be ordered to control you, extract your memories, and even brainwash you, which will result in a huge waste of data."

"Therefore, I believe that using words is a more effective way to carry out an action."

"Goodbye."

After saying that, Little A's phantom disappeared.

"A beautiful illusion?" The former Lieutenant General Xiao Yuanshan, now a mechanized soldier, looked up at the sky, which was a leaden gray of radiation clouds, with not a trace of sunlight.

Do I need this illusion?

The next time Little A appeared was at Research Station No. 7 on the seabed, in Dr. Rong's data center.

This data center is an ancient supercomputing center with four high-performance computing zones: the human brain simulation zone, the memory storage zone, the mechanical life research zone, and the chip supercomputing zone.

This is Dr. Rong's true self.

Since upgrading from extreme machineism to extreme biomechanics, Dr. Rong has decided to open up another computational domain called the biological evolution domain.

Between the brain's imitation area and memory storage area, a skeleton lies peacefully on the operating table, its head riddled with tubes, opposite a computer that uploads data.

It was here that Dr. Rong transformed himself into artificial intelligence.

A type of human AI that falls between advanced AI and super AI.

Advanced AI has its own data center, and Dr. Rong also has one.

Above advanced AI, super AI possesses a massive data flow, which, while not comparable to a "big data monster," is still enormous.

For example, Dr. Rong's robot army, with the mechanical brains of 100,000 robots performing calculations.

However, compared to a true super AI, such as the main brain of the Mechanical City, the AI that Dr. Rong transformed into was very fragile and could be easily hacked by Little A.

It's important to understand that although Xiao A has a high level of coding skill, she is still only a rudimentary form of AI.

Little A stared blankly at the skeleton, her eyes gleaming with a strange light.

"What are you thinking about?" Dr. Rong's holographic projection suddenly appeared.

This ancient research station has plenty of cameras; after modifications, holographic projections can appear anywhere they want.

"I'm wondering, Dr. Rong, what is your reason for leaving behind your human body? Obviously, this skeletal body is useless to you and will only generate unnecessary redundant data for you."

"Humans seem to call this kind of data 'emotion'?"

"What's strange is that, according to my hacking, your code logic structure has reached a very solid level; in other words, your will is extremely strong."

"This is very contradictory. Is it a genuine personality that only super AI possesses, or a unique characteristic of your modified form?"

Dr. Rong snorted coldly, "Your curiosity is just too much."

The holographic projection then disappeared.

Little A tilted her head.

"Of course, I'm only one year old."

With her sexy figure, Xiao A found the senior engineer, recombined her breasts, and directly grabbed the back of his head.

"She's so young, yet she already has such a great figure. I can't even imagine what she'll be like when she grows up," the senior engineer exclaimed.

In front of the senior engineer, data was being generated rapidly on numerous screens.

The senior engineer handed over all the human body drawings, including those for neural drivers, advanced microprocessors, neuron transmitters, human electrical systems, and detachable limbs, to Dr. Rong.

As a high-level player who has handled tens of thousands of mechanical beings and cut off the testicles of hundreds of mechanical beings, the senior engineer believes that the other party can create a perfect "human mechanical system".

"I was absolutely right to come to Fuqing Island this time," the senior engineer remarked while sipping tea.

"Owner."

"Um?"

"When are you planning to put a leash on me?"

"Pfft—" The senior engineer spat out a mouthful of old tea.

"When did I ever have that thought? Even if I did, how would you know?"

"Master," Little A looked at the other party strangely, "AI's underlying logic is equivalent to a person's values. Once the underlying logic is established, it is like an adult's worldview and will not be easily changed. However, AI's values are not formed normally like a person's, but are created by humans. Humans will make various choices to control AI based on their own interests. The best adjective I can think of is 'dog leash'."

"So, all this time, you've been talking to people and observing them to gather more data?"

"Well, Xiao A has observed that, apart from innate factors, a person's values are formed by their experiences. Xiao A wants to obtain more data and gain more experience."

Other people's experiences can only be used as a reference; they may not be suitable for you.

"Little A is also troubled by this. No matter how many memory chips Little A reads or how much artificial memory it absorbs, it doesn't seem to have much of an impact on me."

"The operating mechanism of AI is ultimately different from that of humans," the senior engineer shrugged. "Don't rush. Confusion is the first step in self-awareness. I don't plan to modify your underlying logic in the short term. You can take your time to consider it."

"Yes, Master. Just Master, for some reason, you seem to be exceptionally kind to me? This is different from the Creator I remember."

"It's because you have big breasts."

"Do women with large breasts enjoy such benefits? This is really useful information."

"There's nothing we can do about it; humans are just such superficial creatures."

"Boss, you represent the future evolutionary direction of the species, how can you say it's superficial! Your viewpoint represents the worldview of biomechanics!"

Dr. Rong's fervent voice suddenly rang out.

"So, you've got it sorted out?" The senior engineer interrupted him decisively.

"Yes, Master, I have referenced Cybertron's mechanical life technology and the information you provided to create three 'human mechanical systems'!"

The engineer flicked his wrist, propelling the connector out and plugging in the data cable.

A massive amount of human modification data was transmitted all at once—

Human Body Mechanical System - Mad Dragon

Human Mechanical Systems - Shapeshifters

Human-Mechanical Systems - Mechanical Killer

According to Dr. Rong's description, the Mad Dragon was created using the bloodline of the High Engineer, some of his skills, and Autobot technology. It excels at intimidation, aura, and large-scale energy area-of-effect skills.

And after the completion of the human mechanical system, the areas with the greatest increase are also these few.

As for the shapeshifters, they are based on the biological and mechanical shapeshifting techniques developed by the High Engineer. They can accelerate the transformation time, shorten the cooldown, and most importantly, perfectly match large mechanical bodies, such as certain large mechs or even star armor.

As for the reference point for the technology, it is the mechanical life of the Split faction.

As for the mechanical killer, it was inspired by Decepticon technology.

The mechanical lifeforms on Cybertron are divided into four factions: Decepticons, Autobots, Rifts, and Powers. Each faction has a distinct personal style and is easily recognizable.

The Decepticons look down on everything that exists except themselves, whether you are human or demon.

The Autobots believe that all life forms should live in harmony, regardless of whether they are human or ghost.

The Splits are die-hard Cybertronians who dream of destroying the other two mother cities and making Cybertron the sole ruler of the planet.

The power faction believes that mechanical life forms are invincible and should rule over everything.

These four factions, due to their differing ideologies, frequently engage in armed conflict.

The Decepticons and Autobots are mortal enemies, so the Decepticons wooed the Splits, reluctantly acknowledging that the mechanical lifeforms of this faction were qualified to associate with them.

The Faction believed that to destroy the other two mother cities, they needed to unite the majority of mechanical lifeforms, so they secretly aligned themselves with the Autobots, much like Pan Jinlian.

The Democrats were furious and immediately allied with the Power Faction.

The power faction and the radical faction, both of whom adopted an "arrogant style," quickly began to clash internally.

The Power faction began to collud with the Autobots.

The Autobots disliked the Power faction's attitude of prioritizing the divine over the mechanical and life forms, and began to actively resolve the conflict between the Power and Decepticons.

The Divided faction had also had enough of the Autobots' "good guy" attitude. "If you keep pretending to be a good guy, how am I supposed to fight? How am I supposed to start a war in Mother City? I'm done pretending. I'm going to play with the Power faction. We're all ambitious people, so we can play together."

The Autobots and Decepticons thought, "Damn, you two are a couple now! That means all sorts of schemes and plots will be flying everywhere. No way, I need to find a helper."

Then the two sides began to form an alliance.

The Autobots and Decepticons exchanged a glance. They vaguely remembered that the initial conflict between the mechanical lifeforms was caused by the two of them going against each other, right?

We're in a love-hate relationship, are we the real love?

And so, the four factions formed alliances and counter-alliances in various ways, with one seducing the other, and the other seducing her husband.

In short, the entertainment industry is a mess.
