Chapter 951 – [Planet of the Beasts]
Elizabeth seemed to have too much blood in her head, so she calmed herself down and finished her story. Even so, it seems a bit too much for her to give her body in exchange for research.
She said that she would let me know about the study and that she would schedule it aside after she was ready. It’s me. If she analyzes my abilities a little more and increases her utilization plan, she agrees because it’s enough for her to benefit from that.
“Then, we’ll see you again soon. At that time, I’ll go find the necessary analysis equipment.”
“No, are you coming?”
“Shouldn’t someone you feel sorry for have to visit?
“Well, if you come to me on your own, I’ll be comfortable, but…”
Why does it feel like Xion is going to get ripped off? It’s creepy!!!!!
Anyway, since I’ve said everything, I plan to stay here for the day and then go home. If I go back too soon, I won’t have time to say goodbye to this place, so I’m sorry.
And that evening, Elizabeth brought out her trumpet of wine, along with a feast of delicacies that broke her upper legs.
“It’s fairy tears aged for a thousand years!!!!
“No, did you let it age for a thousand years?!?!”
“Yes!!!! Except for the preservation order, it’s the real thing that’s naturally aged!!!”
“It’s really good to use as a celebratory note.”
In fact, there are plenty of liquors over a thousand years old in Horizon’s wine cellar, but they are stored when they taste best through space-time freezing. Just as stopping time and 100 years have passed does not mean that you will grow 100 years older, the maturation period is different.
If such alcohol had been aged for a thousand years, the bottle would have been crumbled and the contents evaporated long ago, but the alcohol made by the transcendentalist can be stored for a long enough time because there is no such problem. However, no matter how much it is, the alcohol that has been aged for a thousand years is inevitably precious among them.
“Wow!!!! It looks delicious!!!!!”
“Oh, thank you so much for preparing such a delicacy, witch.”
“What is it? Today is a good day. So eat to your heart’s content.”
Elizabeth Pong! And she unplugged the fairy tears. And a thick scent emanated from inside her.
Just as ordinary wine becomes vinegar when aged for a long time, no matter how good alcohol is, if you miss the right time to drink it, you will throw it away. However, since the alcohol made by transcendentalists does not have such an expiration date, the longer it is aged, the deeper the taste.
Well, the longer the aging period, the more time it takes for the taste to mature a little more. That’s why I’m going to ripen it moderately and store it in space-time freeze.
She poured her fairy tears into my cup first. She could feel that she was treated well because the owner of the house was the first to pour her guest’s glass, not even his own, which meant that he was an honored guest.
“Thank you”
“I hope it fits in your mouth.”
“Dad!!!! Me too!!!! Me too!!!!!”
“This is alcohol, so Eden can’t drink it!!!!!”
“Ugh……”
It seemed that Eden wanted to drink the thick sweetness of fairy tears. If it smells that sweet, it will almost feel like juice.
Elizabeth said as she poured a little of her drink into Eden’s cup.
“What’s wrong? I’ve been drinking a little bit since I was 10.”
“No, the buds have been yellow since childhood. And Eden is now going to elementary school?”
“The opportunity to taste such delicious sake is rare even if that child becomes a Transcendentalist. Wouldn’t it be better to show the taste now?”
“That’s… Hmm…”
Originally, I am the one who lets people drink alcohol after becoming an adult. So I, who was raised relatively bystander, treats that part strictly.
So on this trip, because of the water quality problem, even in a situation where I drink alcohol instead, I dilute it as lightly as possible and drink it.
However, it is not often possible to drink alcohol that has been aged for a thousand years, and I do not know when it will happen again…….
“Drink a little, Eden? I’ll never give you more than that.”
“Uh!!!!!”
Elizabeth must have already noticed that she was going to give it that way, and her Eden’s cup contained about a sip of alcohol. At that level, even a child would not get drunk.
And she raises a toast. Elizabeth raised her cup and blessed her studies, which would mark her great strides forward.
“For the prosperity and long-cherished dream of the Trigger Gear School!!! And for the worst that will be the first button to achieve it!!!!”
“Cheers”
“Ah, Dad, I’m going to cheers too!!!! Crick!! I want to do it!!!!”
“Yes, yes, our Eden is also bright”
“Wow!!!!”
They clink glasses and drink at each other. Originally, one shot is the etiquette for the first glass, but this drink is too wasteful to drink like that, so I only take one sip to taste it.
The moment it enters your mouth, a rich fruity flavor fills your mouth. No, the rich scent was so rich that it made me feel as if I was eating airy fruit-flavored jelly.
And the liquor has a complex sweet taste. The juices of all kinds of sweet fruits squeezed and mixed in a complex way do not have a different taste because they have been aged for a long time and become one. I know the taste of fairy tears because I have eaten them often, but it is different from aging for a long time.
“Wow!!!!!! It’s delicious!!!!!!”
“Is my daughter good?”
“It’s so good!!!! I want to drink more!!!!!”
“Even now, my father gave me permission after much thought. You have to drink alcohol when you become an adult, okay?”
“Hey…”
“It’s okay to pretend to be pitiful”
I tend to let Eden do whatever he wants, but I can’t give up on this part. Even letting him drink a little was enough.
Even if Eden was slightly disappointed, the meal was very delicious. It was a very satisfying meal, probably because the King Butler and the Queen Maid showed off their skills.
After finishing our small celebration party, the next day, we prepared for the end of the trip.
I said hello to Charles in advance, but the real final greeting is different.
“Goodbye Charles!!!! See you next time!!!!!”
“Yes, I’ll see you again someday, Miss Eden. I’m looking forward to the day we meet again.”
We promise the following for a reunion someday.
I hope to see you next time.
“We’ll see you again soon, so there’s no need to say hello.”
“Call me when you come”
“Yes, don’t worry”
We left there like that.
Inside the returning Horizon, they reflect on their trip and chat happily with Eden. There were four when we came, but five when we left. It feels a little more crowded because of the lined up Yesto.
“The trip was fun. I’ll come back later. When would be a good time to come?”
“I’ll have to think about that when Eden gets a little older. Even if he goes to school and goes on vacation, it’s hard to just visit him.”
“Then, before you graduate from elementary school and enter middle school?”
“Well, well. It won’t be bad then either.”
During a simple vacation, it is difficult for Eden to find time to play with other children, but at that time, she can relax, so it is time. She’s still traveling in the gap between when she graduated from kindergarten and before entering elementary school.
Anyway, while talking about the future, we arrived home before we knew it.
When I opened the dimension gate leading to my house directly from Horizon, Shion was busy making lunch and was waiting in the kitchen.
“We’re here”
“Did you both have a good trip?”
“It was a good trip”
“Mommy!!!!!”
Eden runs fast and throws her body at Zion. Eden’s torso headbutt, which ran her power, hurts if I receive it with her bare body without her force field, but I wonder if Shion can take it.
In response, Shion slightly adjusted her physical laws, and Eden, who was running towards her, reduced her impact force and received it as it was. She looks like sisters or twins who look similar in age on the outside, but it is very strange that they are mother and daughter.
“My daughter, did you have a good time? Was there anything uncomfortable?”
“Yeah!!!!! I had a good time and came back!!!!!”
“Anyway, it seems that the party has increased by one person, unlike when we went.”
“This is risotto!!!!!”
[I said my name was Yessto?!?!?]
Shion looked at Sto as an example of how she would live in our house in the future, and she evaluated it with just one word.
“It looks like a little big red chicken”
“Oh, I suddenly want to eat chicken”
“Then, my daughter, would you like to eat what mom made for lunch and order chicken for dinner?”
“Uh!!!!!!”
While Eden was eating lunch next to Zion, she and Zion talked about travel together.
Zion and Eden are together, so it’s a sight that makes me happy. I also enjoyed a delicious home-cooked meal for the first time in a long time while looking at the two of them.
And Eden, who ate her lunch, came home after a long time and felt safe. When she was full, she immediately began to doze off. Seeing Eden like that, a mangmung or a cat, for example Sto, gathers around Eden and warms her Eden with her own body temperature.
“You look tired.”
“Because resting while traveling is different from resting at home. Oh, was everything going well while we were away?”
“It was just the same as usual. It was nice to eat whatever I wanted while I was alone.”
“My wife must have gained plump belly fat again”
“Aliens don’t gain weight!!!!”
“Yes, yes”
Still, it’s nice to see Zion’s face after a long time.
Eden has already told her the story of her travels, but telling it from her child’s point of view is not the same as telling it from her grown-up’s point of view. While drinking coffee after dinner, I leisurely talked about my travels with Zion.
“A spirit born from a volcanic eruption in Yellowstone. It’s quite high.”
“If you rank it, it will be the highest level spirit, right?”
“I don’t know your standard, but at that point, it’s probably about that much. Eden and her safety have become more secure with this.”
“It’s very nice that Eden has someone to protect if anything happens.”
“I have one prepared, but thinking about it, I think I’ll add more here.”
“What are you doing?”
“Didn’t I tell you that we are developing artificial intelligence?”
“……Could that be it?”
“I think it would be nice if Eden was attached to me like Horizon’s Miller.”
“Has that progress already been there?”
When it comes to artificial intelligence that Xion is talking about, it is not just weak artificial intelligence, but strong artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence that is almost similar to humans.
Considering the technology of this era, it is quite over-technology. Even the development of artificial intelligence limited to the function of playing Go, such as AlphaGo, is still at a mediocre level, but strong artificial intelligence is different.
Of course, strong artificial intelligence is not functionally superior to weak artificial intelligence. This is because strong artificial intelligence may be inferior to weak artificial intelligence in one function, even if it can adapt and cope by imitating human thinking.
“In fact, I have helped to slightly accelerate the research.”
“That’s right. Strong artificial intelligence is a bit early in this era. But what did you do?”
“Based on my thinking, I based a little algorithm on it. Thanks to that, the intermediate process was shortened and I was able to progress very quickly.”
“Then there won’t be a problem with trust.”
The most important thing when developing artificial intelligence is the issue of trust. It was not for nothing that humans feared the rebellion of machines such as Skynet or Ultron and used it as a subject of imagination.
No matter how excellent and good artificial intelligence is, it cannot be used if it has room to betray humans. I have often seen a civilization where stupid humans suffer from insensitivity to safety and then perish due to machine rebellion.
But it’s okay if it’s an artificial intelligence that mimics Shion’s thinking.
Because I know Zion very well, I know how Zion thinks of humans. So the artificial intelligence will not cross the last line.
“Eden says he’s half-Hanon, but he’s human. No matter how much he develops his computational ability, unless he awakens his ability, he won’t have the same computational ability as Hanon, so having at least one support artificial intelligence will be helpful.”
“It’s convenient to have. The level of civilization isn’t very developed, but if you’re in an information society, you’ll be able to show off your abilities almost like all-rounders.”
Even if I am the only one now, how comfortable can I live because I have Zion? Shion’s ability to process information boasts the ability to control much of the world’s economy even with its hands. If someone were to sit in Zion’s seat, that person would die from overwork within a month.
And later, if Eden has one, even a personal dimensional navigational vessel, she can entrust that ship’s control artificial intelligence. On the one hand, it is like a partner that will be with Eden for a long time.
“I’ll tell you later when it’s finished.”
“Where is the research facility?”
“It’s in the United States. It’s something I’ve been researching for a long time, so I built a research center there.”
“Industrial espionage or something like that?”
“There’s no way I’d miss something like that, right? Even if I try to secretly steal data in an analog way, not only the researchers but also the inside of the research center are monitored with nanomachines, so Utopia members will come looking for me the moment I do. And hacking is out of the question in the first place.”
“It’s true”
The number of digits is different for hacking to break through Zion’s firewall. No matter how good a hacker is in this era, the equipment itself is nothing more than a stone tool compared to Zion, so what should we do?
If I told you to break through the nuclear bomb shelter with stones, would you do it? The stone will wear off before then.
“What are you going to name your AI?”
“Actually, I was going to build it as Ultron or Skynet, but I didn’t decide because it would be better to let Eden build it.”
“Looking at the name you were trying to name, you’re actually hoping for something like a machine rebellion.”
“I’ll leave it as no comment”
I hope that there will be no problems if possible.
Something like a future where our Eden becomes a future resistance commander or something!!!!!
