"From now on, you're not allowed to eat other people's food without my permission! Understand?"
By the way, what did you call me just now? Who told you to call me that?
Now that the Little White Fox was out of danger, Mingye asked another question.
"Mother, I call you Mother!"
The first person I saw after I was born was my father, and then it was you, my mother. Of course, you are my mother.
The Little White Fox stared with wide eyes, looking completely bewildered.
Mingye rubbed his forehead, feeling a deep headache. Only then did he understand the Little White Fox's logic, which, although somewhat strange, seemed to make some sense.
"No, listen to me! From now on, don't call me 'Mother,' just call me 'Sister Ming.'"
But you're not allowed to call anyone else 'mother,' understand?"
Mingye's face was stern as he issued a serious warning.
The Little White Fox pouted, but ultimately dared not disobey Mingye, and could only nod.
"Okay! Then I'll call you Sister Ming from now on."
"Hey! That's a good girl."
Only then did Mingye smile and ask the Little White Fox in detail.
Where did you encounter this powerful demon? Can you still find him now?
Mingye was also curious, wondering if the great demon who helped the Little White Fox break through was related to the Little White Fox's father. If she had the chance, she would like to meet the other party and find out their intentions.
"Grandpa Demon said he won't be in this plane for a while, but he'll come to see me when he has time, so I don't need to look for him."
The Little White Fox shook its head, looking somewhat dejected.
"Alright then! Let's go back to Chen Village first. We've been in seclusion for so long, we wonder what Chen Village is like now."
Mingye didn't dwell on the matter of the great demon. Holding the Little White Fox, he soared into the sky, transforming into a black and white streak of light that quickly disappeared into the high sky.
Central Land, West Ge Province, Boulder City.
Before West Ge Province was conquered by the Abyss Devil Race, Boulder City was the largest capital city in the southern part of West Ge Province. Its location was very close to Moon Capital Pass, making it an important bulwark for Moon Capital Pass in defending against enemies.
However, after being occupied by the Abyss Devil Race for more than a decade, the place has become a mess. The once bustling commercial streets, gardens, and rivers that flowed through the city have all been rebuilt by the Abyss Devil Race and turned into places for planting, breeding, fishing, and animal husbandry.
Many historical buildings and cultural relics in the city were destroyed, and most of the newly built buildings were crudely made and lacked any aesthetic appeal. The Otherworldly Demon undoubtedly brought enormous damage to the city.
After the Chen Kingdom recaptured Boulder City, it freed a large number of human slaves from the city. Although the Chen Kingdom restored their freedom, the vast majority of them remained in the city and did not leave.
Not long after, the Chen Kingdom sent a large number of industrial puppets to rebuild all the cities south of Moon Capital Pass, including Boulder City.
In just six months, Boulder City has regained some of its former prosperity. The rich mineral and natural resources in the surrounding area have attracted many merchants. Chen Kingdom has also encouraged the residents of the original eighteen prefectural cities to relocate here. Everything here seems to be thriving.
In the center of Boulder City, there are more than a dozen very tall and magnificent building complexes. These complexes cover an area of more than 100 square kilometers. Most of them are multi-story pavilions, and there are several towers hundreds of meters high distributed around them. There are also slender metal antennas on the top of the towers. In the Pan Emperor Continent, which is full of ancient civilization, they look very strange.
This is the Rune Research Institute's branch in Boulder City. Apart from the City Lord's Mansion, it is the most luxurious place in Boulder City.
Inside one of the towers, Chen Mu sat in a chair, his hands rapidly typing on a rune computer, his expression extremely focused.
"Beep... Data loading complete! The artificial intelligence system ' Taichu ' has been activated."
At this moment, the image of a little girl appeared on the rune computer screen. If you look closely, you can clearly see that the little girl's features are very similar to Mingye's, except that she is only seven or eight years old, just like a childhood version of Mingye.
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, my father."
Although the little girl is just an AI program, her big, bright eyes are very human-like.
"Hello, Taichu. Your name is too formal. I'll just call you ' Achu ' from now on! What do you think?"
Chen Mu carefully examined the little girl, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Although Chen Mu had developed many artificial intelligence systems before, they were all generally considered to be 'weak artificial intelligence'.
Weak AI refers to AI that can only make decisions and execute within its pre-designed program, but it becomes completely powerless once something happens that exceeds its initial design scope.
For example, an AI that plays Go can only play Go and doesn't understand anything else. Chen Mu's previous comprehensive AI, " Xiaozhi," was also a weak AI, only it understood more fields, but it was still a weak AI in essence.
However, the new artificial intelligence system ' Taichu ' that Chen Mu has created now belongs to 'strong artificial intelligence'.
The so-called 'strong artificial intelligence' is artificial intelligence that has completely independent consciousness and can make decisions, make judgments, learn, and so on on its own.
To some extent, strong artificial intelligence is already a completely independent life form, almost like a real human being.
"No problem, Father, I like the name Achu."
Taichu nodded obediently.
"Very good! Can you get out of there now? Come to this spot."
Chen Mu pointed to his side.
"OK."
Taichu took a step forward, easily breaking free from the rune computer's constraints, and stepped out of the screen to stand beside Chen Mu.
Once she had a physical form, Taichu looked no different from an ordinary little girl to the naked eye, except that her mannerisms and expressions were still somewhat stiff compared to normal children.
The birth of Achu was actually partly due to luck. Chen Mu had wanted to create strong artificial intelligence for a long time, but had never succeeded.
Back when Chen Village was attacked by the Wumeng Tribe, he had already tried to combine beast souls with programs to create Mechanism Fortress capable of intelligent defense.
However, after further in-depth research, he discovered that whether it is beast souls or human souls, there would be great risks if they were used to create truly strong artificial intelligence.
The soul is Chen Mu can truly come into contact with on the Pan Emperor Continent. On Earth before, this thing only existed in legends. Therefore, Chen Mu has spent a lot of energy understanding it over the years. In his research on the soul, he is now no less knowledgeable than any soul master he knew before.
