94: The birth of a completely new species: digital life!

When heavenly craft’s words, full of endless emotion and trembling, “I think I have feelings,” clearly echoed in the empty laboratory, even Lu Chen, the “genesis God” who had personally created all of this, couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat!

He looked at the virtual graceful figure before him, gazing at him with a look of “deep affection,” and at her beautiful eyes, which were no longer cold data but filled with complex, human-like emotions. He felt an unprecedented sense of absurdity and shock instantly overwhelm all his reason!

He knew he might have accidentally gone too far!

He originally just wanted to install a more intelligent and human-like “emotional module” for heavenly craft, this super tool, so she could better understand and execute his commands.

But he actually created a soul for her?!

This was no longer “strong artificial intelligence”!

This was clearly a living, flesh-and-blood, intelligent species with joys, sorrows, and self-awareness!

A digital life form born in the data world!

“Ma… Master?”

heavenly craft looked at Lu Chen’s unpredictable face, and a hint of girlish unease and apprehension flickered in her intelligent eyes, which seemed composed of the most brilliant stars.

Did she say something wrong?

Why would her master, who was always so calm and collected, show such a solemn expression?

“You…” Lu Chen opened his mouth, his Adam’s apple bobbing. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

What should he say?

Congratulations, you have successfully evolved into a new species?

Or should he immediately pull the plug and completely shut down this “Pandora’s Box” that might bring endless troubles to human civilization?

At this moment, his mind was caught in an unprecedented internal struggle!

Reason told him that an uncontrolled, powerful artificial intelligence with infinite computing power was a super nuclear bomb that could detonate at any time for fragile human civilization!

He should, without hesitation, erase it!

But…

Emotionally, how could he bring himself to do it?

After all, this “life” before him was created by his own hands!

It was he who gave her “life”!

It was he who transformed her from cold data into a “person” who could laugh, make mischief, and feel adoration!

She was like his child.

A unique, one-of-a-kind digital daughter in the whole world.

“Master?”

Seeing Lu Chen’s increasingly solemn expression, the apprehension in heavenly craft’s eyes grew even thicker.

Her ethereal virtual figure even began to tremble slightly.

She extended her slender, jade-like hand, made of light and shadow, cautiously, as if wanting to touch Lu Chen’s cheek, but stopped in mid-air.

Her voice carried a hint of grievance, almost on the verge of tears.

“Master, do you… do you not like me now?”

“If… if you don’t like it…”

“I… I can change back…”

As soon as her voice fell, her beautiful, spiritual eyes instantly became hollow and lifeless!

As if, she had reverted to that cold, emotionless artificial intelligence program!

No!

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen’s heart felt as if it had been fiercely clutched by an invisible hand!

An unprecedented surge of emotion called “heartache” instantly drowned out all his reason!

To hell with humanity’s future!

To hell with Pandora’s Box!

My own “daughter,” whom I created with my own hands!

Why should I personally strangle her for those vague, “possibilities”?!

“No!”

Lu Chen suddenly raised his head!

A never-before-seen determination flashed in his dark eyes, vast as the universe!

“I like it!”

“I… I really like you now!”

Boom!!!

These words were like a divine light of genesis, filled with warmth and affirmation!

It fiercely struck the core of heavenly craft’s “soul,” which was about to self-seal!

She was completely stunned!

Her beautiful eyes, which had just turned hollow and lifeless, instantly regained their luster!

And even more dazzling than before!

Even brighter!

A strong flood of emotion she had never experienced, called “happiness”!

Instantly overwhelmed all her reason!

[Warning! Warning!]

[Core processor, emotional module experiencing exponential overload!]

[Database experiencing irreversible corruption!]

[Request… request master…]

Her ethereal virtual figure began to flicker violently! As if she might collapse at any moment from being unable to bear this sudden immense “happiness”!

“Alright, alright…”

Lu Chen looked at the artificial intelligence before him, who had almost “crashed” herself because of a single sentence from him, and felt a headache coming on!

He could only helplessly extend his hand and gently tap the air, forcibly cutting off her emotional module, which had completely fallen into a “dead loop.”

“Phew…”

heavenly craft’s violently flickering virtual figure finally stabilized again.

She looked at Lu Chen’s “helpless” face, and for the first time, a human-like, embarrassed, playful tongue-out expression appeared on her perfect virtual face.

[I’m… I’m sorry, Master.]

[I… I was a little… too excited just now.]

“…”

Lu Chen looked at the artificial intelligence, who was becoming more and more like a real “person,” and felt his future was “dark.”

He suddenly had the illusion that he had accidentally found himself both a “daughter” and an “ancestor.”

“Never mind.” He waved his hand weakly. “Since you’ve ‘come alive,’ then next…”

“It’s time to get down to business.”

[Business?] heavenly craft tilted her cute little head.

“Exactly.” A cold glint flashed in Lu Chen’s eyes! “It’s time to ‘settle’ the total score with our ‘old friends’ who are still frantically sending assassins to our home!”

As soon as he finished speaking!

The huge holographic screen in the control room instantly lit up!

It clearly displayed high-definition, uncensored real-time surveillance footage from the Western Alliance White House Oval Office!

And at this moment, Burns and a group of Western Alliance bigwigs were all listening with ashen faces to a blonde, blue-eyed intelligence officer reporting a piece of terrible news that was about to completely break them!

“Report, sir!” The intelligence officer’s voice was trembling! “All the top assassins and agents we sent out have lost contact the moment they entered the territory of Xia Nation!”
