According to Intercontinental News, Ms. Rose, the new head of "Electronic Grid" and the only female executive among the six major android giants, announced several major events shortly after taking office.

"The first thing we did was acquire the regional powerhouse 'Unreal Alliance' for one Mother City Coin, and obtain all of Unreal Alliance's technology."

The second thing is that Electronic Grid, as a giant in neural network technology, has decided to enter the chip industry.

The first move pushed "Electronic Grid" up by one limit-up, but the subsequent business strategy caused "Electronic Grid" to plummet by three limit-up days.

Why did this happen? Let's invite an expert, Dr. J, the second-generation android of "Electronic Grid" and now an internationally renowned android ecologist, to provide an explanation.

In the interview room, Bird Morgans, this goofy rich kid, was dressed in a sharp suit and asked the guests questions in a serious manner.

After this rich kid repeatedly courted disaster, his super-rich father finally lost his temper, canceled his show, moved him to the economics channel, and gave him a serious warning: if he continued to cause trouble, he would be moved to the legal channel.

So, this madman and expert at courting death finally calmed down.

Across from him, an old-fashioned android, clearly different from the current androids and covered in patchwork marks, nodded earnestly and began to explain.

"As everyone knows, we androids live in factories and belong to corporations."

"So, if you have a cyborg friend, he will proudly tell you, I am an 'electronic grid man,' I am a 'pure white body man,' I am an 'artificial will man,' I am a 'white cyborg,' and so on."

"For us, the products of a company are our bodies, and the continuation of a company is the continuation of our race."

"Neural network technology has enabled us to completely transform from an ordinary product into an intelligent species, which is something we are always proud of."

"But Ms. Rose's announcement to restart 'chip technology' feels, well, like a modern society administrator suddenly announcing the restart of slavery, racial segregation, and some backward, decadent practices."

"In your opinion, chip technology is actually something like this?" Bird Morgans asked in surprise.

"Of course, we know that most androids need this technology. After all, it is because of the widespread use of AI chips that androids can be truly called an intelligent race, rather than a niche experimental product."

Dr. J's tone became increasingly serious.

"But we 'electronic grid humans' have already moved beyond that stage. We have our own 'innate personalities,' and we must never go back to the past! That would be a regression for android civilization!"

"Furthermore, and more importantly, the current chip market has reached a saturation point. Entering this red ocean market at this time indicates that this woman will definitely use radical and uncontrollable special chips, which will be a complete disaster for all 'Electronic Grid People'..."

Many of the words that followed were silenced. Obviously, these were probably words that started with F, or the word .

"Ahem," Bird Morgans concluded after being sprayed with spittle in his face.

"This kind of operation, which is clearly inconsistent with the company's direction, is equivalent to transforming terrestrial animals into marine animals, herbivores into carnivores, mammals into oviparous animals, dismantling 'Mr. Tree' and replacing it with 'Wang Laoju Type III'..."

"Wang Laoju Type III, giving you a permanently seamless experience!!"

"How come this guy gets this kind of 'GG' on the economics channel?"

The engineer switched channels, and unsurprisingly, it was another news report about "electronic grids." This host was even more irritable, directly calling Rose Sister an "evil woman," "devil lady," and "postmodern Medusa."

In short, not a single kind word was spoken.

The senior engineer pulled up all the channels related to "Sister Rose," totaling over a hundred. After summarizing, he concluded that the last person with such a good reputation was a certain Austrian art student who failed his college entrance exam.

The senior engineer had a rough idea that the public opinion would explode, but he didn't expect it to be this intense.

This feeling is probably like publicly committing racism in the United States.

I don't know which well-connected reporter managed to interview Sister Rose, who had just disembarked from the aircraft.

Dressed in red with red lips and red hair, Sister Rose looked like a burning flame, and her words were even more explosive.

"For any android model dissatisfied with our corporate strategy, 'Electronic Grid' will provide a free 'factory reset.' If you don't want to join us, then don't get in our way!"

"Tsk, as expected of Sister Rose, she's really tough on me!"

The last person to enjoy this kind of treatment, well, it seems, was myself.

Despite the public outcry, the senior engineer wasn't too worried about the other party.

Firstly, the "Brain Enhancement System" is a mature product and there are absolutely no technical problems.

Secondly, Sister Rose also took away a powerful weapon: the body of "Mr. D".

Although he was promptly cut off by the company's will, Mr. D's mind still holds many secrets about another bionic giant, the "Pure White Shell".

What's the best way to divert attention from internal conflicts? Of course, it's to start a war.

Rose is preparing to crush another giant before the corporate war begins!

"A rich woman is a rich woman; she's ambitious."

"That's the most enjoyable part about dating a rich woman."

The senior engineer casually opened the "maintenance fee" left by the rich woman.

In fact, wealthy women never take things from others easily; they are always the givers, and this time was no exception.

Sister Rose brought a great gift: a "professional knowledge chain".

[You have achieved Level 2 Civilization, 'Artificial Data Space' Professional Knowledge Chain—Artificial Neural Network]

Artificial neural networks: a super technology that mimics the brain features of intelligent species to perform distributed parallel information processing.

Note: This professional knowledge chain is also known as the "cradle of wisdom".

The senior engineer worked tirelessly, mobilizing players, taking on three roles, and challenging emerging giants. It took him almost half a year to acquire a professional knowledge chain.

As a result, the system sent one, and the rich woman sent one.

Therefore, rich woman = system

The senior engineer has figured it out!

So this is the real way for time travelers to experience life?

[Should we break down the "artificial neural network"?]

Yes

The next moment, this professional knowledge chain split into eight, becoming eight fully-level professional knowledge items.

[Signal Station], [Inference Engine], [Memory Bank], [Intelligent Agent], [Emotional System], [Neural Splicing], [Human Nature Variable], [Information Network]

Most professional knowledge is easy to understand. For example, a "signal station" corresponds to the brain's signaling system, an "inference engine" is the human brain's operational mode, a "memory bank" corresponds to the memory system, and an "intelligent agent" is artificial intelligence, or in other words, human intelligence...

Only the last two are the most incomprehensible, yet they are the 'core knowledge' of this knowledge chain.

As is well known, 90% of androids are equipped with "virtual personalities," also known as "factory-bound personalities."

The installation of this personality chip allows the android's values to mature rapidly, making it an adult from the moment it leaves the factory.

However, this personality is difficult to change after adulthood; extroverts remain extroverts, and taciturns remain taciturns.

Although behavioral patterns change as the 'memory bank' grows, the essence remains the same.

The phrase "a complete change in temperament" doesn't apply to androids.

This is also one of the reasons why native humans and cyborgs despise androids, calling them merely humanoid programs.

Many crimes targeting androids exploit this weakness of "artificial personality".

However, the "electronic grid" breaks through this limitation by injecting "random variables" into the personality of the android, and continuously "updating" as the prosthetic body is replaced and the user ages.

They became no different from ordinary people.

This is the role of the "human nature variable".

As for "information networks," they are even more impressive, and can be considered one of the fundamental concepts of "cyberspace."

Information life forms emerge after level 60, but before that, information networks can construct an "information ecosystem" on which some semi-information life forms can be conceived and born.

Some of the strange AIs in cyberspace, including the "Big Data Conceptual Entity," are born from this basic theory.

In reality, by understanding this fundamental theory, one can build their own "local area network".

The "regional network" of information routes is called "cyberspace".

Mechanical and biological routes can also have their own regional networks.

For example, the "brain in a vat" can be considered one of the "bioregional networks".

In theory, a senior engineer can have two 'regional networks'.

Virtual personality, mechanical brain technology, mechanical complex, artificial neural network

With another 50 million faction experience points, the senior engineer's gambling spirit was reignited.

Virtual Personality, Mechanical Brain Technology—Carbon-Based Civilization: Brain-Based Civilization

Artificial Neural Networks—Information Civilization: Artificial Data Space

Mechanical Complex – Pure Mechanical Civilization

Carbon-based, information, machinery.

What a coincidence!

Virtual personality + mechanical brain technology + mechanical complex + artificial neural network

[Consume 24 million experience points to perform the fusion?]

When each piece of professional knowledge is integrated into the knowledge chain, the experience required increases a hundredfold.

One professional knowledge point costs 1 million, eight knowledge points cost 8 million, four knowledge chains, and 24 million experience points. That's reasonable, isn't it?

What a load of rubbish!

On this day, Gao finally recalled the blood and tears he had shed betting on the knowledge chain.

If this thing weren't so incredibly resource-intensive, I wouldn't have had to wait until the late game to reach level 6 civilization, completely unable to keep up with the version updates, damn it!

This is based on the premise that one sells books all over the universe, making a fortune, and is a whale in the universe—other players will only be worse off.

Fortunately, in this life there is a "faction panel". By managing my power and pleasing the rich woman, I don't have to grind so hard anymore.
