"Thank you for activating the Empire Defense System 2.0."

The synthetic electronic sound that could not distinguish between men and women sounded, and Yang Wei took the initiative to take two steps back.

Light blue points of light flew out of the four walls, and these points of light gradually converged in front of Yang Wei, and a slender silhouette slowly took shape.

Judging from this special effect, this scientific research team really attaches great importance to today's unveiling ceremony.

The team leader on the side began to introduce with emotion:

"Soon, we will be able to see the image of Diwei 2.0, which is completely set by itself.

"To put it more precisely, this should be that after he developed his sense of self-subjectivity, he comprehensively considered many factors to finally create an image, and among these factors, the most important factor is his own preferences and his judgment of his own gender."

As he spoke, the silhouette of the figure gradually became clear.

It was a young man with a handsome face and soft eyebrows, a slender figure and perfect proportions. The pale white Imperial uniform on his body made him look like a junior officer who had just entered the barracks.

I don't know why, Boss Yang looked at this guy's virtual image and suddenly thought of ...... Bly.

This may be due to the fact that both are too delicate in appearance.

How to describe this existence?

Advanced Intelligence?

Yang Wei was thinking about it in his heart, and the virtual image in front of him had already made a military salute, and said softly in his neutral and incomparably clear voice:

"Hello, Honorable Major General Hanton, the White Ghost."

There was a sparse round of applause.

"Well," Yang Wei nodded, "Hello, what should I call you?" ”

"I am the Empire Defense System 2.0, and I will take on the responsibility of protecting the great Sherman Empire, and I will dedicate everything I have to His Majesty the Great Sherman Emperor and the Sherman family.

"As for my human-like name, it has not yet been given.

"Can you give me a name?"

The eyes of the surroundings suddenly converged towards Yang Wei.

Yang Wei smiled and said: "Your name, it stands to reason that it should be given by the most respected person in this place, I just helped you press a start switch." ”

After saying that, Yang Wei turned his head to look at the audience.

The members of the Sherman family's elite ruling faction in the first row each looked at each other a few times, and an old man in the center said slowly:

"It's just a simple name, there's no need to be so formal, just call it the new emperor."

"Oh," the high-level intelligent machine looked regretful, "I thought it would be a majestic name, but I still thank you for the name, and this name you have given me will accompany me all the way." ”

Director Ino smiled: "Uncle, you can give him a name seriously, don't let him be too disappointed." ”

"Hehehe, in that case, Labdo, how's it going?"

"Labdo?"

"Devi Labdo," Zhiji read his name, then bowed and thanked the old man, his eyes twinkling.

Yang Wei had already sneaked back to his seat.

Labudo looked at Yang Wei, he was a little speechless and stopped, as if he had something to say to Yang Wei.

The head of research on the side began to give a full introduction to Labdo, who kept smiling and smiling, ready to show off his abilities perfectly in front of these imperial magnates.

The unveiling lasted less than a galactic hour.

When the old Sherman family left satisfied, the atmosphere in the whole venue suddenly became pleasant and relaxed.

In the glass room, Labdo is simulating the integration of resources of several administrative stars, there are no preset steps, no pre-prepared scripts, every judgment he makes is extremely accurate, and he perfectly executes the instructions issued by humans.

"Hanton, how are you feeling?"

Lieutenant General Thomas asked in a whisper.

Yang Wei laughed: "It's quite strong, and it really feels like a human being, I wonder if they have uploaded a human consciousness." ”

Lieutenant General Thomas shook his head: "Although the threshold for consciousness digitization is very low, it is very difficult to keep the consciousness body stable, especially emotional simulation. What's more, it takes this awareness to process so much data. With this guy, I have some confidence in my heart. ”

"Did the Imperial Guard system put a lot of pressure on the general before?"

"Indeed."

Thomas whispered:

"She's so uncontrollable, and every time it's at the most dangerous moment, she pops up.

"It made me wonder – if she didn't arrive in time and missed that opportunity, would we have to pay for the extra casualties?

"Another reason why I feel so stressed is that she's so powerful, like a god, a god of the online world.

"Every time she comes on the stage, it's like I've lost the meaning of my existence, not just me, but the entire regular chain of command, and every victory seems to be related to us, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with us."

Yang Wei smiled and said, "General, have you communicated directly with the Imperial Guard System?" ”

"No," Thomas snorted, "the next time she comes out, I'll try to say hello to her, and say—hello, old lady." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and their eyes returned to the stage, staring at Labdo's figure.

Yang Wei's watch vibrated slightly, and two words appeared on it.

[General].

This is what Ritsu said about Dev Labudo.

More than ten minutes later, Devany got up and walked to this side, and the middle-aged official on the other side of Yang Wei immediately gave up his seat and walked to the back with his head bowed.

Devine took a seat next to Yang Wei, leaned over to Yang Wei, and asked him the same question: "How do you feel about this system?" ”

"Very strong, but I can't give you an accurate evaluation."

Yang Wei said slowly:

"Today's simulation demonstration is still only a few thousand orders of magnitude of warship commands, and if a wave of insects breaks out in the future, the empire's new and old medium and large warships are expected to be of the order of 100,000, not to mention countless small warships, planetary defense systems, and logistics support systems, there may be some hidden dangers here.

"How long is the estimated time for the insect tide to come?"

Daphne said: "The shortest is half a year, and the longest is about one and a half years. ”

Yang Wei gave a pertinent suggestion: "It's better to try to let Labdo connect to the Imperial Network before that." ”

"That's exactly what they're going to do next," Daphne whispered, "it's always a bit risky, and if it's a normal year, of course, it's fine, but now that the Bug Tide is about to erupt, the Empire's Great Unification Network is about to show its true value, if something unexpected happens at this time...... Alas, what a headache. ”

Yang Wei stared at Daphne's red lips.

Her legs were folded, her right elbow was on her thigh, and her wrist held up her beautiful face.

Yang Wei calmly retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "There should still be time...... That's how my feedback is. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in a white lab coat came quickly, nodded to Lieutenant General Thomas and Daphne with a smile on his face, and then walked up to Yang Wei.

"Dear Major General Hanton, may I make a reluctant request?"

Yang Wei smiled: "Since you know that it is a reluctant invitation, then forget it." ”

Daphne sat up straight and chuckled.

Lieutenant General Thomas frowned and said: "If you have something, just talk about it, don't learn from those old nobles here!" ”

"Well, yes, that's right, Labdo wants to talk to Major General Hanton alone."

"Looking for me?" Yang Wei couldn't help but laugh, "What is he talking to me about?" ”

"We don't know much about that."

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice:

"His consciousness is generated on its own on the basis of powerful computing power and rich information.

"Although there was our guidance in it, we did not shape his consciousness.

"According to the data, he is respectful, or rather, respectful, of you, and he should want to talk to you to improve his own quality."

Yang Wei: ......

Isn't this another kind of old-fashioned garbage story of 'I'm full of disappointment in humans, but I'm only full of appreciation for you'?

Daphne on the side smiled: "It just so happens that my uncle and grandfather are waiting for your evaluation." ”

Boss Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly, so he could only agree.

……

The meeting place chosen by the research team is in the side lounge of the hall where the unveiling ceremony will be held.

With Yang's consent, the team will monitor the entire meeting between the two and focus on collecting data generated by Labdo.

Lieutenant General Thomas still had official business, he said hello to Yang Wei, and left with the other generals of the military department.

Devany took the initiative to stay, she pushed off the follow-up performances, and was ready to accompany Yang Wei for a long time, even if it was just to use her boat to send Yang Wei somewhere.

When Yang Wei entered the lounge, the slightly empty room, the points of light converged again, and Labdo, who had changed into a white dress, appeared in the middle of the lounge and bowed to Yang Wei.

Labdo's smile was genuine.

Yang Wei is not too familiar with this expression. - He is often seen on the faces of his avid fans, or the head of the fan of Grace.

"I'm glad you agreed to speak with me alone, Mr. Ghost, please take a seat."

"Well," Yang Wei looked at the concise layouts everywhere and said slowly, "What do you want to talk about when you ask me to meet?" ”

"The main reason is to satisfy my selfishness," Labudo laughed, "I'm a fan of yours." ”

"I can see it," Yang Wei nodded, "If you were a woman's image, I might be more acceptable." ”

Labudo shook his head with a smile: "You are so humorous, I know you...... In fact, I've entered the Imperial Network dozens of times during the beta phase, but I'm only as an observer to learn about the lives of my creators. ”

"Oh?"

Yang Wei sat down on the sofa by himself, raised his hand to the bar counter in the corner, wrapped two bottles of drinks with his spiritual power, and delivered them to his hand.

Yang Wei smiled and asked, "And then?" Isn't it disappointing? ”

"There are some disappointments," said Labdo, laughing, "but I soon understood that the scientists I have been in contact with since my birth are already the best of humanity, they are intelligent, wise, and have a great deal of knowledge, most of them of good character. ”

Yang Wei nodded and did not speak.

Labudo continued:

"From what I know about human beings, inequality should be the primary characteristic of individual human beings.

"No one person is exactly the same as another, even identical twins, can have very different personalities, and this is the charm of the human species.

"Mr. Ghost, I've seen so much about you.

"It's like, you're essentially the same as an ordinary Imperial soldier, both human, but in fact it's very different, you have mastered biological energy that is close to the absolute limit."

Yang Wei wondered, "What is the absolute limit value you are talking about?" ”

"Oh, that's a term in the Empire's secret database, but I think you should have access to this definition based on your status and resources in the Empire."

Labudo said slowly:

"The so-called absolute limit value refers to the limit value of biological energy that the human body can bear, and beyond this value, the primitive human body will inevitably produce a certain amount of abnormality, otherwise it will collapse itself.

"This is the valuable experience accumulated by the empire in the exploration of biological experiments."

Yang Wei smiled: "This is the first time I've heard of this statement, but I'm more inclined to say that my body has more potential that I haven't been able to develop. ”

"Yes, the transformation of the ancient gods is really a bold and charming plan."

Labudo shifted, "Can I ask you a few more personal questions?" ”

"Of course, you just ask," Yang Wei leaned back on the sofa, "I want to explain to you in advance, I am evaluating you now, and I will directly feedback to the ruling class of the empire." ”

"Well, I know, our conversations are under surveillance."

Labudo whispered:

"The first question I want to ask you is, do you really love this country?"

"Incomparably loved," Yang Wei said softly.

Labudo laughed, "My sensor tells me that you're not lying. ”

Yang Wei: The information you get from your sensor is not necessarily accurate.

Labudo continued: "Second question, have you ever thought of being in complete control of your own destiny? There may be some ambiguity in this question, and this is also a question I am thinking about. Like, I was born in this institute and carried the mission of protecting the hundreds of billions of people in the empire, and I had to be supervised, so I lost a certain amount of freedom. Of course, I fully accept these. ”

Yang Wei groaned a few times.

The Sherman family is testing him with this guy?

"I'd love to be in full control of my own destiny."

Yang Wei sighed, and his gaze became a little distant:

"But that's just an ideal situation, just like physics experiments, we often have to assume that there is an ideal environment, and in reality we can't find a real ideal environment.

"I have an inescapable mission, so many times, I have to curb my desire for freedom.

"However, if there is a chance that I can really have some power, I will try to make myself more free and less restricted."

Labudo nodded slowly, and then asked, "One last question." ”

"Feelings, you're testing me too?"

"You're laughing, I'm just a little curious, and your answer also has a strong reference meaning for me."

Labdo's expression was a little gloomy:

"I think I'm perfect, and people think it's limiting me, but I can easily grasp everything here, and I'm close to being like a god in the online world.

"I don't have any boasting, I'm different from ordinary machines.

"I prefer to call myself a living being, a living being born of a machine, a living being in the service of humanity.

"In my eyes, you are a powerful, perfect organic lifeform, and the communication between us at this moment represents the communication of two life forms, which makes me feel extremely satisfied."

Yang Wei calmly interrupted him: "The last question, I have to go back to work, when the insect tide is over, we can talk at night." ”

"Yes, you're busy," said Labudo with a smile, "it's a simple question, would you like to be my friend?" ”

Yang Wei was stunned.

Labdo stared at Yang Wei with a little apprehension.

Yang Wei nodded slowly, and said softly: "Although this is a bit too abstract, but the two of us can sit here and talk about this, we are already friends, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Labdor suddenly smiled even more happily: "I'm proud of it!" ”

Yang Wei got up and stretched out his right hand, shaking it shallow with Labdo's projection.

"Well, then, I'll take my leave."

"I'll send you."

Labudo took the initiative to follow, and Yang Wei turned around and walked to the door of the living room, and the two doors opened on their own.

"Okay, let's get it here, we had a great conversation......"

Yang Wei's voice suddenly stopped.

He frowned slightly, staring at the 'in-doorbell monitor' device on the wall.

In that boxy small screen, a girl with a double ponytail was quietly suspended, calmly watching Yang Wei.

Reason!

Labudo asked curiously, "Mr. Ghost, what's wrong?" ”

Yang Wei blinked, looked up at Labdo, who was close at hand, and when he looked down again, the small screen had returned to normal.

"Ahem, it's fine."

Yang Wei coughed dryly twice, looked at Labdo, and said earnestly:

"Young man, if you really respect me, then listen to my admonition.

"You have to remember to always keep the heart of an apprentice."

"I remember, I've written this sentence into my Code of Conduct core database!"

"Well, come on."

Yang Wei smiled and waved his hand, feeling a little embarrassed in his heart.

This young intelligent machine was not aware of the existence of Ri at all?

Could it be that the council has already installed thousands of backdoors on Labdo?

Good boys.

The water in the Milky Way galaxy is even deeper than the black hole on 026's chest.
