Earth time, 22077 AD.

Thanks to the efforts of countless cyborg androids and human researchers.

There has been a lot of progress in the progress of the [Strong Artificial Intelligence Experiment].

The thinking mode of intelligent AI is no longer as fixed as before, but has begun to slowly become more changeable and flexible.

It's getting closer and closer to the biological ......

And with the continuous generation of large amounts of data, this trend is accelerating.

And this performance, in addition to the benefits.

It has also once again caused a great deal of unease among humans.

They feel like they're playing with fire, and it's a terrifying fire that can easily burn themselves!

Therefore, within the Human Federation, the voice of opposition to strong artificial intelligence, which was originally forcibly suppressed by the federal government, has directly germinated again.

A large number of scholars, including government officials, have repeatedly opposed further research.

They feel that they are digging their own graves.

But due to the intervention of Ra behind the scenes with the help of various hidden forces.

Despite the opposition everywhere, the [Strong Artificial Intelligence Experiment] is still going on in an orderly manner.

Besides.

During this time period, there is another incident that has also attracted widespread attention.

【Psionic Person】

For this special group, since it was officially recognized thousands of years ago, the vast number of human societies have always been quite concerned.

After the initial period of strangeness.

With the increasing standardization and comprehensiveness of the education of the relevant abilities of the [Psionic Ones], the incidents related to their power loss of control are decreasing year by year, so their existence has long been accepted by the general public.

No longer see it as an outlier.

Instead, they slowly regarded them as the gifted chosen ones, the lucky ones, and a direction of evolution for humans.

Countless mediocre ordinary people are envious and jealous of their power from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, strong, long-lived, healthy, intelligent, and even good-looking are generally better than ordinary people.

With such excellent conditions, whoever comes over will be sour.

And now the various observations and experiments on the [psionic ones].

There's a whole new discovery.

That is, after a lot of repeated tests, a certain laboratory found that some [psionic abilities] with special abilities actually have the ability to identify directions and predict dangerous disasters in advance in subspace!

They call it Subspatial Perception!

And this kind of discovery can be said to be great news for subspace navigation where there is a probability that people and ships will disappear at every moment.

It means that every time you go on a subspace voyage, you only need to bring a certain type of [Psionic Person], you can greatly avoid the risk of sailing!

All of a sudden, a large number of companies and government departments began to spend a lot of money to coax those special [psionic people] with quick hands and slow hands.

Their value began to climb directly at an extraordinary speed!

It's even more expensive than a spaceship.

The official is also quite interested in this capability, and believes that it is a strategic capability.

Without hesitation, it is listed as one of the key research topics in the future!

I look forward to seeing how each researcher works out.

In this way, decades passed slowly.

This is accompanied by the birth of a special human baby with a third eye on its forehead.

And it was confirmed that he possessed [subspace perception] far beyond that of other psionic beings.

Those who possess the ability to navigate in subspace and predict subspace disasters are considered to be semi-evolutionary in a sense.

Together with the baby, they were gradually separated from the category of psionics and became a special group of evolutionaries.

And their group is called "Navigator" by human society.

Means a member who navigates a spaceship during a subspace voyage.

Gradually, after the successful birth of the first complete body [Navigator], more and more Navigators began to be born all over the Human Federation.

This situation, after detailed investigation from all sides, is believed by various experts to be the result of human genes being infected by subspace energy.

It belongs to the special evolution that is beneficial!

Countless people call it a treasure gifted by the gods to human civilization in the dark.

In this way, with the continuous birth of those [Navigator] babies, a large number of special facilities and equipment that can assist their [Subspace Perception Ability] have been developed in advance.

Including the official, there are countless people in the Human Federation who are looking forward to their growth.

In the current Human Federation, tens of millions of humans go missing every year while navigating subspace, and the various resources lost are even more incalculable, let alone searchable.

There have even been tragedies when there were foreign wars, and thousands of space warships were swept into subspace storms without being spared, which made people grit their teeth in anger but helpless.

It can be said that the frequent occurrence of various accidents in the subspace is the largest and most unpredictable non-man-made disaster that the Human Federation is currently facing.

And these ever-increasing [navigators] are the most effective solution, and they are the indispensable existence of the Human Federation on the road of interstellar journey.

Therefore, their existence is completely a collection of thousands of favors!

--------

Earth time, 22311 AD.

Although the number of [Navigators] is still very rare compared to the entire Human Federation, after hundreds of years, their existence is no longer new.

Basically, there are several Navigators on each colony star.

During this period, a lot of research has been done.

Scholars have discovered that the [Navigator]'s [Subspace Perception Ability] is actually a heritable bloodline ability.

It's just that compared with marrying ordinary people and having children, it can only be inherited with a small probability.

After they marry other [navigators] and have children, the chances of successfully passing on their abilities to the next generation will be many times greater!

So, in many cases, there will be policies to encourage them to marry other navigators.

Of course, in the face of this kind of thing, there will naturally be [navigators] who say that Lao Tzu is no, I just want to marry ordinary people!

In this case, the federal government will not interfere excessively, after all, there is also a probability of heredity, and there is no need to force it.

And this time period, located in a cutting-edge laboratory deep on Mars.

As an intelligent AI begins to think spontaneously:

Who am I?

Where am I?

Where am I going?

What am I going to do?

.........

This philosophical question, and deeply tangled.

A large number of cheers began to spread through the laboratory.

They know that the [Strong Artificial Intelligence Experiment] has made breakthroughs after hundreds of years of conduct.

The whole project is coming to an end!
