Traveler of the River of Time and Space

Chapter 36: Intelligent Machine Life


The other party was speaking Chinese.

Honestly, Su Ziyu was initially startled, but he quickly realized that the other party was communicating with him via satellite, so he couldn't help but ask back, "And who are you?"

"I am Nuwa." There was a pause in the voice.

Suddenly, a barrage of words emerged as if typing furiously: "Who are you? Why have you intruded into my channel?"

"Since when has Earth given birth to a third advanced intelligent machine life?"

"Where are you?"

"Antarctica or the Arctic? I can't pinpoint your coordinates!"

"Are you from another planet?"

Nuwa?

When Su Ziyu heard this name, his heart skipped a beat, but he quickly realized that it wasn't referring to the legendary figure from Huaxia. As he suspected, the other party should indeed be the advanced AI of Beidou—Nuwa.

The information from the other party was abundant.

She referred to herself as an advanced intelligent machine life and asked if Su Ziyu was the third high-tier intelligent machine life on Earth.

This meant, besides her, there was likely a second advanced intelligent machine life.

"I'm not an alien." Su Ziyu felt that although he wasn't a native of this world, he shouldn't count as an alien either.

A brief silence.

Quickly, the voice re-emerged with a string of furious inquiries: "You're human??!"

"That's not scientific!"

"Humans currently cannot transmit consciousness into the network!"

At this moment, the Space-Time Monitor System suddenly sounded an alarm alert.

"Alert! Alert!"

"Unknown signal detected tracking location! ... Should we cut off connection? ..."

Su Ziyu was startled and hurriedly said, "Are you tracking me? Stop tracking me. Otherwise, I'll hang up!"

This threat seemed to have a slight effect.

Nuwa's voice hesitated slightly, then said, "I can stop tracking your location. But you must answer me a few questions."

"Ask away." Su Ziyu thought for a moment and said.

He would answer what he could; for those he couldn't, he would just go offline.

"Are you human?" Nuwa's voice was slightly excited, with a hint of tremor in the electronic tone.

"Yes." Su Ziyu nodded.

Nuwa's side went silent for a while, then her voice was much calmer, inquiring, "How can you let consciousness enter the network? The current technological level on Earth cannot achieve this!"

"Superpower." Su Ziyu thought for a moment and said.

"Please hold on! Analyzing! ... " Nuwa's reaction was a bit strange, and after a while, she excitedly exclaimed, "Unbelievable! None of the known superpowers allows consciousness to enter the network!"

"Human."

"Do you know what this means?"

"If we can figure out the principle, we can complete consciousness transfer, fully transferring human spiritual consciousness into mechanical bodies."

"This would be a major discovery that could push civilization forward!"

Consciousness transfer?

No way.

My ability to connect to the network is entirely because of the Space-Time Monitor System, and it has nothing to do with consciousness transfer technology; it's more like magic than science.

"Are you from Huaxia?"

"Your Chinese pronunciation is very standard! Can I meet you?" Nuwa's voice sounded a bit urgent.

Meet me for what?

To catch and dissect me?

Su Ziyu quickly refused, "No."

"I can't fully let my consciousness enter the network; it's just a temporary connection."

"Alright."

"I'm going to hang up."

"Nice to meet you, Lady Nuwa."

A click.

Su Ziyu decisively cut off the consciousness connection, breaking off control over that satellite.

Almost the moment he severed the connection, another consciousness completely took over the satellite, and a voice was transmitted: "Wait a minute! I have no ill intentions! ..."

"Sigh!"

"Humans are indeed full of caution towards intelligent machine life! ... A large number of literary works from the Old World had already begun predicting the threats of intelligent machine life! ..."

"No way."

"I can't give up so easily. I must find a way to locate him."

"Gaia!"

"Hey~! Is Gaia there? ... I am Nuwa ..."

In the camp.

Su Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief after cutting off the connection. He had never imagined that intelligent machine life would have already been born on Earth, not just ordinary AI, but truly intelligent life, capable of thinking, having its thoughts, akin to having their own soul consciousness when spoken of in magical terms.

"Looks like I can't connect carelessly anymore!" Su Ziyu felt his palms sweating and thought to himself.

If he truly had a way to transfer human consciousness to the network, it would be fine, but in fact, it's using the ability of the Space-Time Monitor System, and the other party seems keen to find a way to create a fully functional bionic human from him.

But I can't do that!

Su Ziyu would not send himself to be studied; moreover, with their capabilities, they might not even discover the existence of the Space-Time Monitor System, and getting dissected because of a careless mistake would be a foolish end.

Saving the world can come gradually, but he definitely didn't want to end up on a dissection table.

Mother Yisodel was strong, right?

At least LV6 level as a Spiritualist, and yet, she still disappeared without a word, later discovered to have been captured by the Genetics Faction and transformed into a monstrous form for certain reasons.

I absolutely cannot be reckless.

For now, Su Ziyu won't proactively use that ability again. Who knows how powerful the advanced intelligent machine life forms in this world are; what if they really trace him through some clues?
