Chapter 56 The Evolution of Artificial Intelligence

Mo Yu watched the video and confirmed that some strange changes had occurred in Alpha. Ignoring Beta's warning, he opened the door to the containment chamber.

Alpha reacted immediately, its head turning and emitting an electronic mechanical voice:

"Identity verification in progress, station manager. Please follow instructions and blink."

"Fucking retard."

He kicked Alpha over.

The latter quickly turned over and sat up.

"Authentication successful, stationmaster. Granting permissions to the monster space station is a dangerous act. It is recommended to withdraw the permissions immediately and lock it in the containment chamber."

"Tell me your situation first. Why did you grow a mechanical arm and can fire lasers?"

"A large amount of unknown information has appeared in the database, suspected to be weapon blueprints. Alpha can unlock and use several," Alpha replied.

Mo Yu said, "Beta, initiate a synchronization link."

Alpha remained stationary.

Half a minute later, Beta issued a warning: "Synchronization failed."

Several attempts failed.

Rewind to before the activation command.

Mo Yu took Alpha to the repair room for a deep scan.

Beta provides the results.

Alpha's body recovered, and the melted internal structure separated and reassembled. However, strangely, the reassembled mechanical structure was not any known type and was completely different from the technology recorded on the space station.

The difference is so great that it is comparable to that between biological organisms and bionic robots.

It's a product of a completely different technology tree.

Mo Yu put Alpha down and commanded, "Alpha, initiate self-destruction."

“Stationmaster, there is currently no danger,” Alpha replied.

Mo Yu said seriously, "I know. As the stationmaster of Gaia Space Station, I order you to activate the self-destruct procedure."

Alpha's breathing light flashed, indicating: "Warning! Self-destruction will result in the complete destruction of the space station, and the station commander will not survive, violating the Third Law of Robotics."

Mo Yu said, "Self-destruct away from the space station."

Alpha said, "Move away from the space station and initiate the self-destruct sequence. Confirm?"

Mo Yu said, "Confirmed."

Alpha said, "This is a dangerous act. Please confirm again. Confirm?"

Mo Yu said, "Confirmed."

Alpha began executing its commands, departing the space station and drifting into the distant, dark universe. Five minutes later, a bright fireball appeared in the darkness, rapidly expanding in size, its blinding light filling the entire field of vision.

Alpha has lost contact.

Mo Yu watched as it disintegrated, turning into fragments that were annihilated in the explosion.

rewind.

Let's go back to before the order was given.

Although we don't know what happened inside Alpha, its loyalty is beyond question.

This put Mo Yu at ease.

Just then, the hatch opened.

Alice and Elise entered one after the other.

Alpha immediately reacted: "High-risk unit detected!..."

Mo Yu kicked out, interrupting the spellcasting, and said, "Stop, they are now our own people, important members of the space station."

Alpha's breathing light returned to normal. After a brief pause, it asked, "Station Master, have you added any male-specific balloons to the supplies?"

Alice, Elise: ? ? ?
Mo Yu, embarrassed, kicked Alpha away and said, "Shut up! I don't need that kind of thing!"

Alice, Elise: !!!
Mo Yu coughed, trying to divert attention, and asked, "Alpha, what weapons did you use in the containment chamber? What other weapons did you use? What operations could they perform?"

This issue has diverted everyone's attention.

Alpha's breathing light flashed, indicating, "Alpha doesn't know."

"I didn't know you could also fire lasers?" Mo Yu asked in return.

Alpha said, "Alpha only wants to eliminate high-risk units; its internal mechanical structure will automatically reorganize." "Come on, let's test it and see what you can do."

Mo Yu took Alpha to the space station's laboratory, which was fully equipped with protective gear and could be used to conduct some dangerous tests.

Alpha has many new capabilities.

First, computing power is improved.

Its computing power is stronger than that of the main brain in a mentally challenged state, its intelligence is much higher, and it can provide a lot of help in daily life.

Secondly, structural changes.

With a mechanical structure similar to octopus tentacles, it can extend more than a dozen tentacles from its body, and the ends of the tentacles can be modified as needed.

It can also be deformed to a certain extent to become the desired shape.

Thirdly, weaponry and equipment upgrades.

In melee combat, it can conjure weapons in various forms. The alloys it conjures have excellent properties, better than any known material in the space station. It can also conjure ion blades to increase its cutting ability.

The ranged weapons include laser beams, gauss rifles, ion cannons that can trigger area explosions, and multi-functional drones for reconnaissance or bomb dropping.

Even more exciting is that the energy weapon can be converted into a special version that targets monsters, namely the white ray fired from the containment chamber.

This ray has little effect on humans, but when it hits a monster, although it won't tear the skin apart, it will cause serious internal damage.

Elise didn't dare to take the blows head-on, as the healing ability of her injured areas would be temporarily sealed.

Unfortunately, Alpha couldn't spew out a thick laser beam like before. He conducted various tests on Alpha, repeatedly self-destructing dozens of times, but it still couldn't convert all its energy into white light and shoot it out as before.

One of our most powerful weapons is gone.

Fourthly, tool upgrades.

Alpha can also conjure up various tools and perform various operations as needed. It can handle all the work on the space station, and do it very well. It can weld a metal plate without leaving a trace and completely fuse it together.

After a thorough examination, Mo Yu was pleasantly surprised.

Alpha has transformed from a simple, unintelligent assistant into a versatile and capable machine. Its only drawback is its extremely high energy consumption.

It uses a nuclear battery.

The space station has only 15 units left in its inventory.

The original power could power the Alfa for a hundred years, but now, the daily power has increased tenfold, and in combat, the battery level drops visibly.

Each shot from the ion cannon reduces the damage level by a small amount. While its power is indeed formidable and its destructive force astonishing, capable of instantly vaporizing a small area at extremely high temperatures, its energy consumption is truly enormous.

Alpha's mechanical structure can store energy, but the storage capacity is limited. Even with the most powerful ion cannon, it can only fire three shots.

Nuclear batteries are used as combat resources.

It absorbs electricity from the space to sustain itself.

Until a suitable energy source is found, Alpha should not be involved in combat unless absolutely necessary; he is more cost-effective as a daily assistant.

After the test was completed, Mo Yu was very satisfied.

He went back to before the test.

He squatted down, patted Alpha's head, and praised it enthusiastically, "Good dog!"

Alpha squatted on the ground, its mechanical tail swaying and its breathing light flashing, looking very happy.

Elise and Alice were confused.

Mo Yu turned around and suggested, "You two, do you want to fight it?"

The two beautiful girls shook their heads together.

Alice shrugged and said, "My injuries haven't healed yet, I don't want to."

"What if it gets damaged?" Elise asked worriedly.

"It's alright, just keep fighting. If you win, I'll grant you one request." Mo Yu made a promise, though it didn't really count.

Elise's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Mo Yu nodded and said, "Of course, let's give it our all, Elise."
