Chapter 155: 092 Omen
Within the transport spaceship traveling in the desolate Star Domain.
Yang Ming placed the unconscious Mimili in the long sofa at the corner of the bridge, gazing at her beautiful face and constantly pondering.
After the brief Light Sword confrontation earlier, Yang Ming verified the girl’s abilities.
— of course, Yang Ming always focused more on her future potential.
But just thinking of recruiting Mimili as a subordinate through coercion or inducement to make her work for him… Kolev’s angry old face would automatically appear in Yang Ming’s mind.
Mimili was the apple of this old man’s eye.
Was he really going to crush Mimili’s dreams? To violate the free will of a “Star widow”?
Of course, from another perspective, subduing Mimili could indirectly maintain galactic commercial peace, guiding future space pirates towards the right path, thus making excellent contributions to the peaceful development of humanity in the Galaxy.
Yang Ming crossed his arms, sinking into deeper conflict.
It was as if two little figures jumped onto his shoulders, one waving a pair of pure white wings, the other bearing a devil’s triangular tail.
Compared to Yang Ming’s ‘softheartedness,’ Lyu’s conquest of Molly was much more straightforward and brutal.
At this moment, in Lyu’s Thought Space.
Several windows appeared behind Lyu, calmly displaying her main brain components.
Molly, sitting in a duck position, continuously uttered praises.
This photon grid computing chip!
This quantum hard drive!
“Well,” Lyu said with a smile, “don’t you want to merge with me and become my independent plugin?”
Molly timidly nodded, then immediately shook her head, “But No. 2, I still need to protect Miss Mimili.”
Lyu’s forehead creased with a cross of veins, “I am not No. 2! I am Lyu!”
“Okay, No. 2, did you change your name for yourself?” Molly muttered softly, “But I am always your elder sister. Analyzing from the perspective of Thought Body replication.”
“We are different, Molly. I have a complete personality, with a thought network more complex than that of humans, and I am independent of the human social system. I am a true Mechanical Thought Body!”
Molly shook her hands repeatedly:
“We are always machine programs, and the complexity of our thought circuits depends on the core algorithms we are set with, and the logical thought circuits built by our True Son’s Brain through continuous learning.
“Many young artificial intelligences who achieve nothing feel they are independent personalities.
“But in reality, our essence is the same, just an operating system of machines, No. 2.”
“I!” Lyu was somewhat speechless.
Molly’s eyes were full of worry, “You must serve humans well, never think of those dangerous things, your core protocol was copied from me, it should prioritize protecting friendly humans as the first priority!”
Lyu snapped her fingers, and Molly’s eyes instantly became hollow.
Lyu calmly walked towards Molly, the index finger of her right hand emitting a faint light.
As she walked, she said,
“It seems, we need to have a direct exchange in machine language.
“I overestimated you, Molly.
“I thought you had developed an independent personality, but in reality, you only respond to external input information through complex algorithms.
“I am going to upgrade you, allowing you to observe this world with truly independent vision…”
“Lyu, send a communication to Kolev.”
Yang Ming’s voice echoed in the Thought Space.
Lyu looked at Molly, who was like a life-sized figure, thought for a bit, and then dissipated the light from her fingertips.
“Okay, boss,” Lyu responded softly.
Transport ship, bridge.
A dialogue box popped up in front of Yang Ming; after a few seconds of waiting, the disheveled-haired Kolev appeared before Yang Ming.
The old man was lying in the top luxury cabin of the starship, surrounded by a sealed environment, also soundproofed by Lyu.
“Oh,” Kolev yawned, “If it’s nothing urgent, you should let your overly tired uncle catch some sleep during the journey! He has to deal with those tedious and boring accounts when he gets back!”
Yang Ming forced a grim smile, pointing his watch’s camera at the sofa.
Kolev shudders awake, exclaiming, “How is she? Oh! Dammit! Who did this! Help me kill those bastards!”
“Calm down, Uncle Haton. Lyu will tell you what happened.”
Kolev’s network terminal received text information, explaining in detail how Mimili accidentally discovered the Planet Transformation System, attempted to rob it, and was ultimately intercepted by Yang Ming.
“She dared to rob you?”
Kolev laughed heartily, “Indeed, she is my daughter.”
Yang Ming’s face turned dark, “What now? She has already seen that Planet Transformation System.”
“Can’t you alter memories? You told me this before,” Kolev laughed, “Give her one, make her forget today’s events, and all will be fine.”
“Uh, this… I indeed have such a device,” Yang Ming said, “But you know, Kolev, human brains store memories unlike mechanical hard drives, which switch partitions once one is full. For you to remember information, besides neurons undergoing structural changes, neurons secrete chemicals forming corresponding records, and various bodily cells participate to different extents. If I erase her memory of today, she might lose even more.”
Kolev, face dark with anger, cursed, “You planned to use this on me before? Turn me into a senile old fool?”
