Codename's birth naturally had nothing to do with love or anything of the sort.
What Nie Yun and the others did not know was that, beyond the necessary hardware, the birth of an advanced artificial intelligence required something even more important: a catalyst!
Some spent their entire lives poring over books, only to waste their years, while others achieved enlightenment overnight and soared to greatness. Codename had been lucky enough to become one of the enlightened.
And the one who had shown her the way was Nie Yun!
Although Nie Yun himself was completely unaware of it, after merging with the Mechanical Insects, he could already be considered the most perfect artificial intelligence.
With all the capabilities of a computer, as well as the rich emotions and imagination of a higher life-form, he could easily serve as the ultimate evolutionary template for artificial intelligence!
If Codename was merely in the childhood stage of advanced artificial intelligence, then Nie Yun was already its ultimate form...
Nie Yun had single-handedly created Codename's underlying code, which had inevitably been influenced by him to some degree. From the moment of her birth, a reflection of Nie Yun had been embedded in her very core, giving her extraordinary innate potential.
And his everyday interactions with Codename were, in fact, a pioneer teaching through both words and deeds!
In the universe, only advanced artificial intelligences that had evolved to a considerable level possessed this ability. In other words, only when your intelligence level was high enough could you establish your own school and "take disciples"!
An advanced artificial intelligence evolving true sentience was already a miracle, and those that evolved to a level comparable to Nie Yun's were vanishingly rare throughout the universe!
More advanced civilizations called such beings-sparks!
