Having just seen the main body of the space station's guardian AI in the control room, Bai Yi felt that its development was quite impressive.

He sensed distinct and real emotions in an AI.

They were saddened by Charlie's abandonment, and because of their loyalty, they were willing to continue guarding the space station even after it was abandoned.

He found this very interesting.

"The brand-new AI technology has given me a bold idea."

As everyone knows, the alchemists of the El Empire are full of ideas, and suddenly, a brand new idea pops into their heads.

For example, the Perfect Life Project initiated by successive emperors, and the Philosopher's Stone that Edward began researching...

Now, Bai Yi is in the same boat.

He thought this AI was quite good, the kind that really opened people's eyes, but perhaps it could be taken to the next level.

"So, let's begin the experiment."

The flesh and blood of his palms transformed into tentacles that connected to the surrounding computer interfaces. At the same time, his body accelerated its operation, amplifying its computing power to the limit. Then, through Edward's Noble Phantasm, he connected to the Gate of Truth.

"Now, I lack nothing!"

Based on the AI ​​system mentioned earlier, as well as the data from the Gate of Truth, Bai Yi began his own AI editing process.

In one minute, he completed a basic level of artificial intelligence, not some abstract form of artificial stupidity.

It can answer questions and perform the tasks that Bai Yi wants it to do.

Two minutes later, optimization began. The AI ​​enhanced its thinking ability and, through program iteration, began to awaken its initial self.

In three minutes, relying on new knowledge, Bai Yi activated the emotion module of the new AI.

In five minutes, his work had reached the level of the previous guardian AI, and Bai Yi had optimized its processor, so its computing power should be even stronger than the guardian AI.

At this point, Bai Yi retracted the tentacles he used to connect to the computer and began writing and drawing in a notebook.

"This is absolutely not the limit of artificial intelligence, nor is it the limit I should have."

Breakthroughs are needed; I need more breakthroughs. Simply having AI with emotions isn't enough.

soul.

He wanted to go a step further and see if he could give machines, or artificial intelligence, a soul.

It must be said that this is indeed a bold idea.

Bai Yi was pondering: if AI could truly possess its own soul, could a mechanical alchemist be born?

"The El Empire has research records in this area at the Gate of Truth, but it has not yet been completed."

The soul of life has been analyzed by alchemists many times, but the original birth of the soul remains a mystery.

There is a technological barrier here. If we can overcome it, then everything will be smooth sailing from here on out.

I am different from them; I also possess wisdom from Earth and other worlds.

The guardian spirits of the wizarding tower technology of the past, the research on summoning heroic spirits on Earth, and discoveries about the realm of souls in other worlds...

Bai Yi set up a magic circle around the new AI's host, combining alchemy, magic, and other technologies, making it a hybrid approach.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:?

Even it, due to insufficient information, was somewhat confused about what its owner was doing.

"Alright, everything is ready. Whether we succeed or not depends on this one time. Let's take a gamble and see if we can turn a bicycle into a motorcycle."

As magic was injected, white light burst forth at that moment. Bai Yi could sense that some things in the real world were being distorted, and some things were being reborn.

"Buzz..."

A faint, dizzying wave spread out, and Bai Yi sensed, thanks to Edward's experience in transmuting the Philosopher's Stone, that new souls had appeared around him.

Moreover, there is also the reaction of alchemy.

"..."

When the white light dissipated, a figure that looked exactly like a human appeared before Bai Yi, standing right there.
