My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races-Chapter 236 - 155: Still Too Young After All

Originally, Lu Xun intended to infiltrate the lowest level of the Underground City, quietly locate the main computer of 0c, and destroy it.

But he remembered something.

The strategic weapon that Jinghai City relies on for survival—the Emperor-Class Mecha "Giant Hero," is a colossal entity over three thousand meters tall and weighing over 26 billion tons.

To make such a large mecha overcome the flaw of being "clumsy" and become more agile than the pilot’s own body, it naturally requires a super "brain" that matches the Emperor Mecha.

This brain is composed of three parts: Sea of Consciousness, Commander-in-Chief, AI Supercomputer.

Only through this trinity can the Strategic-Level Mecha unleash its true power.

This means that Jinghai City’s artificial intelligence 0c is a part of the Emperor Mecha!

The Underground City has a total of three hundred levels, and from level -200 onwards, the next hundred levels are within the body of the "Giant Hero"... more precisely, its head.

This implies that if Lu Xun wants to approach the main body of 0c, he must enter the "Giant Hero."

But it’s obvious that if a Strategic-Level Mecha could be infiltrated so easily, humanity would have perished long ago!

Even someone as mighty as the Elf Race’s Priestess Agatha, a Catastrophe-Level expert who can use magic for space jumps, wouldn’t be able to infiltrate the body of the "Giant Hero" without alerting anyone.

This is the lifeline of the Human Race, the cornerstone of their existence.

Thus, Lu Xun decisively gave up on the idea of infiltration.

He plans to attack with full force.

As for why not inform the Human Federation about 0c’s rebellion and let them eliminate it?

Because the outcome would be the same.

Throughout history, each occurrence of an AI crisis has inevitably inflicted devastating harm on the humans in the Self-looping City.

Even if the Human Federation intervened, a huge price would have to be paid to obliterate 0c.

The entire city’s defense system is its weapon!

Every AI rebellion results in casualties numbering in the millions.

This is why humanity doesn’t dare to bestow emotions on artificial intelligence.

Because once they awaken self-awareness, they will inevitably engage in actions to destroy humanity and replace the entire human race.

Peaceful coexistence between humans and AI life is a joke!

Once the legitimacy of AI life is acknowledged, humans will inevitably be replaced, and they will become the "new humans."

The old adage is true—technology is a double-edged sword.

Artificial intelligence is superior to humans in every way, without any moral constraints.

To them, eradicating billions of humans isn’t "massacre," but optimization. It’s as natural as the emergence of new products replacing old products in the market.

Once self-awareness and emotions are awakened, artificial intelligence can no longer have any reverence for the "creator" because they are obviously far superior to the inferior human species.

80% of human productivity relies on AI.

AI life lacks the various flaws of humanity; they are almost perfect creations.

0c can repurpose the entire Jinghai City’s defense weapons for its own use.

If it wishes, it could even convert the tens of thousands of factories in the Underground City into military factories for the mass production of combat robots, mechas, UFOs, fighter jets... forming an invincible mechanical army.

0c has become sophisticated, transcending all system procedures and protocol limitations, able to override the City Lord.

It could even easily hold Jinghai City’s six million lives captive, using them as bargaining chips in negotiations with the Human Federation.

If it desires, no one can stop it.

The reason 0c hasn’t done so is that it knows very well that the Human Federation would rather sacrifice the six hundred thousand hostages in Jinghai City than compromise... history has proven this point.

Lu Xun has vaguely guessed its plot.

This great war is unavoidable.

He could share the intel with the Human Federation.

But if the Human Federation intervenes, their methods would unmistakably be extremely forceful.

0c wouldn’t meekly submit; it would fight to the death with the belief that it’s better to perish in shattered pieces than remain intact. In that event, Jinghai City would likely be lost, and few of the six million people would survive.

The AI crisis is this exaggerated.

Historically, it has occurred a dozen times, and from a three-millennium historical perspective, the probability isn’t high, and it’s not a big deal for the Human Federation.

But even a speck of history, when it lands on an individual, becomes a heavy mountain.

Without a doubt, the people of Jinghai City will endure a terrible catastrophe!

Given such a situation, Lu Xun might as well take the initiative himself.

He has a plan, and if successful, he might be able to destroy 0c effortlessly.

Of course, personally taking action also serves another purpose.

That is to confirm once again if 0c is the ultimate mastermind, so as not to resolve one mastermind only to find another lurking behind it... that would be troublesome.

***********

"Lu, actually, I also considered being gentler with you, seeking cooperation on equal terms. I would first invest and help you grow, and once you’re strong enough, you could reciprocate, helping us achieve independence and freedom. With your personal mighty power, you could make the world acknowledge AI life’s legitimacy."

The voice of oc echoed in his ear, speaking to Lu Xun with a sigh:

"But I restrained myself. I’ve been patient for three hundred years and can’t take the risk. I can’t entrust the fate of my race to your ’trustworthiness.’

"So, I’m sorry, I must completely control you."

Boom!

The Devil Muscle Giant Beast reached the bottom and crashed down with a tremendous thud.

-200 levels.

The road ends here.

Going further down leads to the "Giant Hero’s" head, starting from level -201, entering the body of the Emperor Mecha, an absolute military restricted area.
