Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chapter 570 Does Machinery Have a Heart? [Requesting Recommendations and Reading]

Bova covered her head with her arms and began to scream in pain.

"what!"

"what!……"

The terrifying sound waves spread out in concentric circles, overturning the theater and blowing off people's skulls.

The crown's corpse ornaments all flew up.

Waves of energy spread out and struck the ground, causing violent explosions.

This made 2B miserable, and he immediately shouted:

"What did you say to her? Why did she act like she was going to fight to the death?"

Chen Hong opened his eyes and withdrew from Bova's consciousness data.

Another set of self-awareness and emotional data has been obtained.

"This robot's emotions have reached an extreme dead end, its logic is chaotic, and it's beyond saving."

Reopening is recommended.

Chen Hong flicked his finger, firing a golden beam of light that precisely struck Bova, physically destroying and annihilating her.

A broken sphere radiating golden light fell down.

"What is that?" 2B asked.

"Answer: It is a fragment of the core of a mechanical life form," the auxiliary machine's mechanical voice replied.

"Its structure was detected to be similar to that of plant cells."

"Plant cells?"

2B was quite surprised that a mechanical life form with a body of steel could actually contain plant cells at its core.
Chen Hong wasn't surprised; when he hacked into Bova earlier, he had already scanned and analyzed her from top to bottom.

They have mastered the core structure of mechanical life forms, the logic of AI algorithms, and the evolved self-awareness and emotion modules.

However, this Beauva is not perfectly evolved. Although she has the beginnings of emotions and persistence, she has clearly not yet evolved to the level of a human.

Not to mention the ideal state of perfect emotion that combines reason and beauty, which is something most humans cannot achieve.

"It seems we still need to guide Adam and Eve to evolve into perfect mechanical life forms."

If mechanical life forms could possess both mechanical rationality and human sensibility, they would be a race with immense potential, even in the universe.

Perhaps it could develop into a unique intelligent machine civilization, surpassing even the legendary Purge Agreement.

Just then, a small robot carrying flowers came out and stared blankly at the vanished songstress robot.

"mom, Mom, Mom……"

The little robot dropped the flowers from its hands and slumped to the ground.

Another robot came out and stood protectively in front of the little robot; it was his mother.

The robot mother looked at Chen Hong and 2B in horror and began to plead.

"We just came to see the show..."

"Please..."

"Don't kill us, don't kill us..."

As Chen Hong approached, the robot knelt down and kowtowed to him.

"Please, please..."

"At least... spare my daughter..."

2B looked somewhat conflicted, glancing at Chen Hong as if she wanted to say something but couldn't bring herself to speak.

The robot mother showed a look of despair.

Chen Hong, who had been calm, suddenly smiled, as if the ice and snow on a snow-capped mountain were melting in the sunlight.

"Do not worry."

"I would never kill unarmed children and mothers."

"You have broken free from the network of mechanical lifeforms, possess self-awareness and emotions, and are now independent life forms."

A new era is about to begin.

This war, which has lasted for thousands of years, should finally come to an end.

"Thank you...thank you."

The robot mother kowtowed repeatedly to Chen Hong, then quickly pulled her child away, preparing to return to the village to hide.

She had a premonition that the world was about to change drastically.

She didn't want her children to go to the battlefield with her. If they went to the battlefield, she and they would just be cannon fodder.

Even those special, enormous mechanical life forms would explode one by one, let alone these mass-produced cannon fodder, who are just consumables.

Their village, weary of the endless war and appreciating the beauty of flowers, awakened to self-awareness and spontaneously formed a village in order to resist the endless mechanical army and androids, seeking a peaceful paradise in the chaotic world.

“9S…”

2B looked at Chen Hong, wanting to say something, but couldn't say anything.

At this moment, she felt Chen Hong's gentleness and emotion, not the cold, mechanical program with red eyes.

However, YoRHa soldiers are forbidden from having emotions.

"Perhaps, he really is somewhat similar to humans?"
At least, in matters of the heart, they are somewhat alike…

That's all 2B can think.

The two returned to the camp together.

the other side.

Adam and Eve sat at the long table.

The two were completely naked, except for the extra pair of underwear they wore at birth.

Adam was holding a book and reading it slowly.

Eve, bored, held a red apple, propped her chin on her hand, and spoke listlessly:

"Brother, why bother with something as troublesome as underwear?"

"According to records, humans live with their genitals covered. Just shut up and put it on, Eve." Adam's calm words carried a hint of impatience.

“Well then, why must we eat this plant?” Eve asked, looking at the red apple.

"The book says that humans gained knowledge by eating this fruit."

"Shut up and just eat."

"I understand. Since you've said so, I'll do as you say."

"But if I do that, will my brother play with me?"

Bored Eve wore an expectant expression.

Adam frowned slightly, but nodded nonetheless: "Mm."

"Haha, then I'll try my best to eat it."

Eve took a bite of the red apple and ate it with relish.

Although the apple didn't provide him with much energy, nor did it truly bring him intellect.

But as long as his brother is willing to play with him, it's worthwhile.

"Hey, brother, why do you use such a primitive and inefficient method as flipping through a book?"

Why not just transfer the data directly?

"Eve, you can't truly understand a book unless you turn the pages yourself."

"If you want to understand humans, you have to imitate them and get similar feelings to them."

"I understand," Eve said dismissively, showing no desire to learn what she was learning.

Not to mention that Adam was trying his best to imitate all human behavior, attempting to explore the mysteries of humanity and understand human emotions.

2B and Chen Hong, carrying some resources from the camp, went to a village of mechanical lifeforms that the androids had befriended to make a trade.

This is a village that has broken away from the robot army and yearns for peace.

From afar, they could be seen raising a white flag in surrender, indicating their lack of will to fight.

A special mechanical life form that looked like an old man or a wise man came out to greet them.

"Hello, I am Pascal, the village chief of this village."

Pascal led the two into the village.

"I heard you used to have dealings with the resistance?" 2B probed to find out more.

"That's right, we are all peace-loving beings who understand each other, trade with each other, and maintain good relations."

We mechanical lifeforms excel at precision work, so the resistance trades resources like oil and steel with us in exchange for high-precision technological instruments.

Items salvaged from the battlefield were brought to our village, and after some repairs, they could be reused.
