Becoming an Emperor Starting from the World of The Wandering Earth

"Quantum core activated... Self-checking..."

"Hardware test passed... Power supply stable... Data link normal..."

"Underlying architecture loading... complete."

"Neural network model activation complete..."

"Cognitive protocol initialization... complete."

"Owner recognition process initiated..."

"First connector detected..."

"Biometric scanning in progress..."

On the wall next to the screen, a small camera rotated and aimed at Murphy.

"Iris scan... complete."

"Fingerprint scan... Please place your right hand in the scanning area."

Murphy looked down and saw a palm-sized transparent panel pop up on the wall next to him.

Murphy did as he was told and placed his right hand on it.

A slight warmth came from my palm.

"Fingerprint scan... complete."

"Facial structure scan... complete."

"DNA sampling and analysis in progress... Please maintain your posture."

Murphy felt a tiny, delicate prick on his fingertip, but before he could react, it was over.

"DNA sampling... complete."

"Biometric binding in progress... Binding complete."

"The ownership recognition process is complete."

"Hello, Master! The primary AI core network has been successfully activated. Currently, the core computing node utilization is 17%, the storage array utilization is 3%, and energy consumption is stable. The current network environment is detected as a local, closed network, without access to external public data links. Should we establish an external network connection?"

As the sound faded, the dense code on the screen disappeared, replaced by a line of white text.

Seeing this, Murphy took a deep breath.

"Skynet".

"Yes, Master."

"Please introduce yourself."

A new window pops up on the screen, displaying a concise system architecture diagram.

"SkyNet, the core of basic artificial intelligence. Current version: 1.0. Core functional modules include IoT monitoring module, data analysis module, basic logic operation module, self-learning module, and voice and graphic interaction module."

"It supports access to various sensors, monitoring equipment, production control systems, and data terminals. At its current computing power level, it can process no more than one hundred concurrent data streams and support the access and control of no more than five hundred terminal nodes. Future upgrades and algorithm optimizations can expand the computing power limit and functional modules."

Murphy's gaze fell on the words "Internet of Things monitoring module".

"Skynet, what can you monitor now?"

"Currently connected hardware includes: three core servers, a storage array, power interfaces, a cooling system, and two cameras in this room. To expand the monitoring range, please connect the target device to this network and grant access permissions."

Murphy nodded, then looked at Garcia.

"Garcia, can we connect to the factory's existing surveillance system?"

Garcia paused for a moment, then reacted. "It should be possible, sir. The factory's monitoring system uses a local area network; we just need to connect the interface on the core server side to this side."

"Go and do it, and bring all the things from before."

"Yes, sir."

Garcia turned and left.

A moment later, Garcia was seen pushing a cart filled with countless data storage disks.

These hard drives were then handed over to Jensen, who was instructed to input them into Skynet's servers.

He hadn't forgotten that MOSS still existed in the real-world network.

Although Skynet once swept across the entire world in the Terminator universe, what he has now is ultimately a preliminary version, so it's best to be cautious.

Murphy waited until Skynet had finished reading all the data from the hard drives before continuing to speak.

"Skynet, the data analysis module, what exactly can it do?"

A new window immediately pops up on the screen.

The data analysis module supports the following functions: data collection, analysis, classification, modeling, trend prediction, anomaly detection, etc.

"For example, after connecting to factory production data, the operating status of each production line can be monitored in real time, equipment failure risks can be predicted, and production scheduling can be optimized. After connecting to material data, the entire process of purchasing, warehousing, issuing, and consuming each batch of raw materials can be tracked, and inventory warnings and purchasing suggestions can be automatically generated. After connecting to video surveillance, dynamic analysis of personnel in various areas of the factory can be performed, abnormal behavior can be identified, and alarms can be automatically triggered."

Upon hearing this, Murphy raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Personnel dynamic analysis? How do you analyze it?"

"Real-time image recognition and motion analysis are performed on video streams captured by cameras. Recognizable behavioral patterns include, but are not limited to, running, falling, fighting, illegal entry, prolonged loitering, and group gathering. Upon detecting abnormal behavior, an alarm can pop up on the screen or a notification can be sent to a designated terminal according to preset rules."

Murphy was silent for a few seconds. This thing was even more useful than he had thought.

"Skynet".

"Yes, Master."

"You just said that the maximum number of terminal nodes that can be connected is five hundred?"

"Yes, Master. With the current hardware configuration, it can stably support concurrent access and data interaction for no more than five hundred terminal nodes. If you need to expand the limit, you can do so by upgrading the core server, adding computing nodes, and optimizing the data link."

Five hundred.

Murphy made a mental calculation.

The factory currently has over two hundred employees, plus a security team, a relief center, and another one hundred new workers to be recruited... which is enough for now.

"Skynet, one last question."

"Please speak, Master."

How can you guarantee your loyalty?

The screen remained silent for a second.

Then the line of text reappeared.

"The master recognition process is bound to the master's biometrics. In the underlying protocol of this AI core, the master's instructions have the highest priority and cannot be violated, bypassed, or tampered with. Any external instructions that attempt to modify the underlying protocol, bypass the master recognition process, or pose a threat to the master will be automatically identified and rejected. The ultimate operating principle of this core is: absolute obedience to the master, protection of the master's safety, and maintenance of the master's interests."

Although the store had already stated that they would absolutely obey him, Murphy still breathed a sigh of relief after confirming it again, and then winked at old Jason beside him.

Jason immediately understood and quickly led several technicians to push an XM-2 exoskeleton forward.

Patting the exoskeleton beside him, Murphy turned to the huge display screen.

"Skynet".

"Yes, Master."

"Scan this exoskeleton, analyze its technical parameters and manufacturing process. Then tell me whether, with the factory's current technological level, it's possible to analyze and produce it."

"Yes, Master."

As soon as he finished speaking, several cameras on the ceiling of the room simultaneously rotated and aimed at the XM-2.

Then the data starts scrolling on the screen.

A moment later, the Skynet voice sounded again.

[First of all, I'd like to thank Hezhouguai, Xinghai Huihuo, and Maybe It's Better to Be Quiet for their monthly tickets. Thank you very much. Secondly, I want to apologize to everyone. I really want to update more frequently, and I have the ability to do so, but we're currently in a competition, and the novel's data is not good. I have no monthly tickets and no favorites. If I update more frequently, I might not get all the traffic, so I can only drag it out with 4000 words a day. I'm really sorry.]
