Chapter 270 – 28. Let’s Take a Break
Eun-kyung nodded slowly.
The annihilation of humanity. It’s definitely not entirely wrong. Civilization has almost collapsed and is barely maintaining itself.
“That is correct. Listening to Gayoung, it seems like it wasn’t at a level that humanity could handle.”
“Yes. So, considering all things, my guess is that the NPC wants to remove His Excellency, but is unable to do so.”
“But then why did they bother to kill me when I went up to space? Even if I kill him anyway, he will be resurrected.”
“Well. Since they don’t know what will happen in the future, didn’t they kill them with the intention of at least reducing the death count? Or there’s something you shouldn’t see.”
“Something you shouldn’t see…”
What on earth is that?
“The concept of seeing is different from that of an ordinary person like me and yours. “Your Excellency, ‘seeing’ is virtually synonymous with ‘editing.'”
“Ah. I see. Because if I recognize something, I can edit it… But if it was something I could edit, it wouldn’t be able to kill me so quickly.”
“They must have put restrictions on it. For example, ‘Only living things that come up into space with their bare bodies can be killed with a single blow.’ The cases where these conditions are met are extremely limited, right? The power will increase accordingly.”
“Hmm… Is it something like that?”
It may seem a bit far-fetched, but it is not impossible.
In fact, Eunkyung is also making good use of the increase in power due to this limitation.
“And even if editing is impossible, it can still be called ‘information’. “I guess they didn’t want to give out meaningful information in any way.”
“I see.”
Eun-kyung, who thought she had obtained good information even though it was a private interview, brought up another topic.
In any case, we cannot know this problem unless we go into space and experiment several times.
“Are the suit mass production and autonomous combat robot development going well?”
“Ah. Please come this way.”
Lee Ga-young took his safety glasses and guided him to another place.
This time, it was a space that Eun-kyung was familiar with.
“This place.”
A huge space with suit production facilities.
Previously, through concept editing, I made time pass 10 times faster just in this room.
“As the time has increased 10 times, the power required has also increased 10 times and the resources used have also increased 10 times. “It was a headache trying to solve this bottleneck, but we came up with some temporary solutions.”
“Oh, how?”
“It’s simple. All we have to do is produce the amount of power that is less than the required amount due to the bottleneck within this room.”
“Uh… That is… Is that possible?”
Easier said than done.
Gayoung answered as if it was nothing, but even Eunkyung, who was ignorant, could tell that this made no sense.
Basically, suit production facilities are limited to consuming a lot of power and resources to improve performance, and the amount of power consumed by one production facility is almost equivalent to the power consumed by 2–3 skyscrapers. 〈 Br〉
But even as time passes 10 times, the amount of power required exceeds 10 times.
But can that amount be solved within this space?
Does that make any sense?
Grinning.
Gayoung smiled eerily in front of Eunkyung, who was lost in doubt.
When Eun-kyung let out a “Huh” Laugh at the smile that strangely reminded her of Yul, she began her explanation.
“Do you remember how I suggested removing human brains and using them to create AI and combat robots?”
“Yes… “I remember it because it was so absurd.”
“I applied it a little bit.”
“?”
I don’t even know.
What on earth does power production have to do with the human brain?
I’m sure it’s not something like the Matrix movie where humans’ bioelectricity is extracted and used.
“What does the system recognize as an ‘owner’?”
“Yes?”
“The owner is a person who has been given special powers by the system, so to speak, and has a ‘stigma’, right? So the question is, where does that stigma belong? It is the same question as where is the essence of human beings.”
“What is that…”
“Is it in the heart? Or maybe it’s in the brain? Or even that? Kidneys?”
“What on earth are you talking about?”
“To put it in the extreme, all organs other than the brain and genitals are merely accessories. It is a device that is attached to maintain the brain. Humans only need a ‘brain’. Oh, of course, there is also the saying that thoughts and personality are determined by intestinal microorganisms and the environment of various organs, but that is ultimately a matter related to ‘values.’ If you ask where the ‘existence’ called ‘I’ ultimately belongs, ‘the brain’ is the closest answer. And actually,”
She pushed her buttons.
The curtain in one corner of the room went up.
“!!”
Countless cylindrical exhibition stands,
Countless amounts of brains inside.
The brain had dozens of wires and all kinds of sensors attached to it.
Lee Ga-young spoke to Eun-kyung, who was surprised by this grotesque scene, with a faint smile.
“A ‘brain’ is enough for the system to recognize you as an ‘owner.'”
“No, what the hell,”
“These are owner slaves with lightning-type skills. I produced it with Seoyul’s permission. Of course, in order of ugliness.”
She was frowning and winking with one eye, but she was not visible to Eun-kyung.
Rather, it was because she saw an absurd scene before her eyes.
“Her… So now, are you saying they are constantly using lightning-related skills? Are you making up for the lack of power with that?”
“Yes. The brain’s command system is ultimately an electrical signal, right? Thinking and using skills are all made up of electrical signals. If we catch it and replace it with the command we want, it will work as we want. For example, ‘Use lightning skills constantly. Something like ‘Reset the cooldown to LP.’ LP is supplied from outside.”
“Wow what. I really feel like a crazy bitch.”
“It is an honor to hear from you, Your Excellency.”
She smiled softly and operated her button again.
The curtain came down, blocking out all the disgusting scenes.
“The amount of power they produce is inevitably unstable, so it goes through transformation, stores it in batteries, combines it with power delivered from outside, and eventually starts the production equipment. With this, the power problem was solved.”
“… How did you resolve resources?”
“There weren’t many resources. It’s just a matter of opening wider channels to receive resources and spreading them around like crazy. Of course, if production facilities continue to increase in the future, it may become a problem.”
“Haha…”
I felt it to some extent.
Lee Ga-young had a strong feeling from the first time she saw the female scientist, and the more she talked to her, the more she felt that she was not a normal person.
But I never thought it would be this bad!
“That… Anyway, this means that production has increased, right?”
“Yes. “It’s not exactly 10 times, but it’s increased by about 8.7 times.”
“Why not 10 times?”
“Due to the time gap with the outside world, there is a bottleneck in sending resources in, and there is also a bottleneck in taking them out. And things like basic testing still have to be done externally.”
“I see.”
“And let’s see…”
Lee Ga-young operated one of her large monitors.
Knock knock knock. She tapped on her screen keyboard and finally opened one of her files and called her Eun-kyung.
“This is data related to autonomous combat robots. “For now, I have the framework, albeit crudely.”
“Oh.”
In the executed video, an android built based on a suit was seen making quite dynamic movements.
“Actually, imitating human movements is easy. Developing combat AI and incorporating it is difficult. Of course, maintaining the robot’s strength is also a challenge.”
The robot showed dynamic and agile movements as if it were demonstrating Taekwondo, and suddenly took off with jet propulsion.
However, I couldn’t stay there for long and quickly came down to the floor. In the meantime, I landed wrong and broke my ankle.
“Anyway, it’s being made to a usable level. If weapons are mounted here, it can be used as a general war weapon. Of course, I don’t think this level of performance is what His Excellency wants.”
“It will be much better after my editing. The performance will be better than if I give it my own identity.”
“Yes. But that doesn’t allow automation.”
Lee Ga-young tapped the screen again to turn off her data and touched the area between her eyes.
“We need more time to achieve the desired performance. And… “If you want to have the same appearance as a human, it will take time.”
“Great job. First, it is important that an autonomous robot with a certain level of functionality has been created. “You can use it even after my editing.”
For editing efficiency, it would be best to create a space owner, but the reason he decided to create an autonomous robot in the first place was to ensure that his women would never experience ‘death’ again.
Especially death that involves terrible pain.
If this can be prevented, it is very welcome that a robot that can be used to some extent even if its performance is somewhat inferior has been developed.
“Is there anything you need? “What do you want?”
“What do you want?”
“Yes. Anyway, didn’t you do an excellent job?”
“Ah.”
Lee Ga-young thought for a moment and spoke hesitantly.
“Could it be that you hug me…” “Can’t you commit it?”
“?”
When she asked for a hug, she even deliberately corrected herself because she was afraid of people would misunderstand that it was something like a hug.
