Chapter 32 The Empire's First Artificial Intelligence

Gu Jinyan, who was standing next to him, still stood straight, his posture as straight as a pine tree.

He listened to his father's rambling remarks with an expressionless face, but his eyes involuntarily drifted towards the closed cabin door again.

The next moment, the door opened quietly.

Tuan Tuan just slowly slid out of An Zhi's room.

Before it could speed up the wheels to wash the dishes, a large hand with distinct joints and thin calluses came down from the sky like an eagle stalking a rabbit and scooped it up.

"Hmm?"

Tuan Tuan let out a short cry of surprise.

It drove the wheels and tried to move backwards, but its entire body was lifted in the air and the wheels spun in vain, looking a little funny.

Gu Changfeng put one hand on his waist and held the white spherical robot shell in the other hand. He and his son had spent most of the night hammering and banging together the robot in the starship maintenance room. He had an expression that was both angry and funny on his face.

He looked at the chubby little creature, then at the innocent smiling face emoji (●ˇˇ●) that was still lit on its screen.

This is the appearance that he and Gu Jinyan revised repeatedly, striving to make it harmless and cute and suitable for children.

What was stuffed inside was a split core of the Empire's most advanced artificial intelligence, Ti-1000, which he had urgently "borrowed" from the Empire's Secretary-General through a phone call at 3:30 in the morning.

The original intention is to allow it to protect and care for An Zhi in all directions and without blind spots.

What's the result?

Less than ten minutes after taking up the post, this little thing rebelled.

With its sturdy body, it blocks the guardian's sight completely, without any leakage.

Gu Changfeng complained madly in his heart:

Sometimes AI doesn’t need to be that smart.

He had heard about the intelligence level of the empire's first artificial intelligence, but he was still surprised.

Even if it is a split, it is too opinionated.

Think about his "Chengkong", how good it is, with clear instructions and efficient execution.

My old friend, the mecha, is the most considerate...

General Gu's thoughts involuntarily drifted to his beloved car.

"Why are you blocking us?" A cold and flat voice sounded beside him, interrupting Gu Changfeng's distraction.

It’s Gu Jinyan.

He crossed his arms and stared expressionlessly at Tuantuan, who was being held in the air by his father.

The smiling face on Tuantuan's screen immediately turned into an angry emoji with hands on hips:

(╬ò﹏ó).

It replied in a simulated, somewhat aggrieved yet confident voice:

"Protecting the little master's privacy during her meal is one of the core responsibilities of a nanny robot. Miss An Zhi requires a quiet and private dining environment. Any potential sources of interference must be eliminated."

The humming sound seemed quite realistic.

Gu Jinyan frowned slightly, obviously somewhat displeased with this overly diligent behavior.

Seeing that a taciturn human and a logical but slightly temperamental AI clone were about to engage in an academic debate on "the authority of guardians and the privacy boundaries of cubs" in this narrow corridor, Gu Changfeng quickly coughed, put Tuantuan back to the ground, and stopped it in time.

"stop."

There was a hint of helplessness in Gu Changfeng's voice.

He bent down slightly, staring at the angry expression on Tuan Tuan's round screen, and said in a serious tone:

"Ti-1000. As Gu Changfeng, commander of the Imperial Tenth Legion, and with the authorization of Secretary-General Gerwin, I am temporarily transferring you here. Your core mission is to ensure Miss An Zhi's absolute safety and meet her basic living needs."

He paused and emphasized:

"At the same time, as Miss An Zhi's current temporary guardians, Gu Jinyan and I have the right to confirm her mental and physical condition when necessary to ensure navigation safety and her well-being. This is not interference, but part of the guardianship responsibility. Do you understand?"

On Tuan Tuan's screen, the angry emoticon with hands on hips flashed and quickly disappeared.

Instead, there is a standard electronic synth sound that is calm, steady, and without any emotional fluctuations.

It was the main voice of the Empire's first artificial intelligence, Ti-1000:

"Command confirmed.

General Gu Changfeng, commander of the Tenth Legion, Ti-1000 split core number R-TT-007, is happy to serve you.

The permission scope has been updated.

What are your next plans?"

Gu Changfeng stood up straight and resumed his calm demeanor:

“We need to find a planet with a suitable environment, moderate temperature, and the ability to supply basic supplies as a temporary stopover.

The starship needs to replenish some supplies, food, daily necessities, um... some books and toys suitable for the cubs?

Prepare the food for seven days first."

He pointed toward the bridge at the front of the corridor. "You can connect to the Light Chaser's central control system through the ship's data port and access the star map database for screening, querying, and navigation. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the coming period."

"Understood. Link request sent." Ti-1000's voice was steady and efficient.

Gu Jinyan didn't say anything. He walked to an inconspicuous interface on the wall of the corridor, took out a special data cable, inserted one end into the interface, and the other end into a reserved socket on the side of Tuantuanyuangungun's body.

Wired transmission is obviously much faster.

A few seconds later, a line of glowing text appeared on the huge screen of the bridge console:

Ti-1000 has been linked to the Light Chaser central control system, and basic database permissions have been enabled.

Welcome aboard the "Light Chaser," Admiral Gu Changfeng.

At the same time, a line of text with a completely different style appeared on the screen of Tuan Tuan, who was connected by the data cable:

【() Tuantuan is also happy to serve you. 】

Gu Jinyan looked at the "one machine, two watches" situation and pursed his thin lips.

This Ti-1000 has a pretty split personality simulation.

Tuan Tuan's round screen turned towards Gu Changfeng and resumed its standard reporting mode, with a meticulous electronic voice:

"Regarding Ms. An Zhi's morning condition report: Basic vital signs are stable, with no abnormal fluctuations.

Emotional state: Stable after breakfast, with mild curiosity and exploratory behavior.

Nutritional intake: Poached eggs and bread are good. Liquid nutrition intake is in line with the standard.

It paused and added, "Ms. An Zhi seems to have a general acceptance of nutrient solution and prefers to take solid food.

It is recommended that, if conditions permit, the meal structure be adjusted appropriately to increase the types of solid foods that suit their taste preferences in order to optimize the nutritional intake experience.

After listening to this, Gu Changfeng raised his eyebrows, glanced at Tuantuan, and tapped its round white head with his fingers:

"That's a good suggestion, little one. But," he said, changing the subject with a hint of helplessness, "do you think we can grow leafy vegetables out of thin air here?"

This is just a small starship, and its functions are more designed for acceleration and space jumps.

A large amount of living space was sacrificed for this purpose.

They set out in a hurry and had no fresh food supplies.

A good cook cannot cook without rice.

The font on Tuantuan's screen immediately turned into a thinking emoticon: (.-`ω′-), as if it was carefully searching the compatibility database between farming and starship environments.

At this moment, the text information on the light screen of the main console was refreshed rapidly.
