Chapter 763: The Return of Lololia

Southern Star Region, Thunderhorn Star Region.

This is a star region not far from the Four-leaf Crystal Star Region, but it is not well-known.

On the space station surrounding the "Thunder" residential star, Tilan and a small number of entourage met Lololia, who had been away for a long time, and several accompanying mechanical bodies stood behind her.

"Wow, Tilan, I'm finally back, woo woo." Lololia was still as emotional as before. She was about to wipe her tears while hugging Tilan, but unfortunately her body did not have a tear template.

"Okay, okay, I'm back now." Tilan touched the artificial angel in her arms, and then looked at the people behind her.

Compared with the lively Lololia, these people's expressions were much colder. Although they all looked like beautiful women, they lacked some human-like vitality.

This was probably related to the environment they were in. Tilan remembered that Lololia said that if they did not live with humans, observe and learn every day, it would be difficult for mechanical bodies to gain rich emotions.

Originally, Lololia was supposed to come back after three years in the Mechanical Council, but something happened during the trip, so the time was delayed until now. Fortunately, Tilan also communicated with the Mechanical Council several times during the trip to confirm that Lololia was safe, so she was not too worried.

Holding Lololia's hand, the two walked on the corridor of the space station, and Lololia began to talk about her experiences over the years.

"It's so cold over there in the Sigma Mechanical Council, because everyone is a mechanical body, there is no need for air conditioning and heaters, the working and living environment is very low, which is suitable for the operation of electronic components and can also reduce aging." Lololia complained about the environment over there.

"Also, everyone talks very little, and they communicate directly with electronic signals, so you can see many mechanical bodies busy in a city, but you have never seen anyone talking."

"What is your usual work and life?" Tilan was curious whether the mechanical bodies needed to go to work.

"Complete the tasks assigned by the main brain. These tasks are all kinds of strange, such as asking you to design a game, such as asking you to build a building, or drawing a picture." Lololia was in high spirits at this time.

"There are many, many tasks, all kinds of tasks, and each time it's like a lottery. I don't know why I complete these tasks." She tilted her head.

"Later, I thought that the purpose of these tasks is not to complete something, but rather to do routine maintenance, just like buying a car and leaving it in the garage for a long time, and running it every once in a while to avoid malfunctions."

"Under normal circumstances, most mechanical bodies spend their time in deep sleep, and when they are awake, 80% of the time is spent completing tasks, 5% of the time is spent learning about the various news and technological advances of the Rose Federation, 5% of the time is spent on social activities, and 10% of the time is spent on combat drills."

"Social activities?" Tilan couldn't help but ask curiously when she heard this, how do mechanical bodies socialize with each other.

"Yes, this is half mandatory, just like playing a game match, five mechanical bodies are drawn out, and they are asked to participate in an activity, such as planting trees together, drinking tea together, and playing games together." Loloria recalled her life in the past few years.

"When playing games, they are almost all random games, because without random balance, the machines will default to the best or worst course of action based on calculations."

"From your appearance, you seem to be dissatisfied with this kind of social activity?" Tilan continued to ask.

"Yes, not satisfied at all. Everyone is cold and cold, just like completing a task, too purposeful." Lololia complained.

"For example, planting trees, one by one, flying up and shooting, accurately making holes, and then throwing seedlings in, and then the next person comes up to fill the soil and water, and there is no communication throughout the whole process."

"Is that so." Tilan nodded slightly.

"Are these activities set by the main brain?"

"It should be. The main brain sister is very powerful. She can communicate and talk with tens of millions of machines at the same time. Occasionally, I also chat with her and complain. She will modify some activities based on my feedback."

Then Lololia talked about the situation of the Mechanical Council, and Tilan also roughly outlined the environment there in her mind.

The current Mechanical Council is like a strongman who has been practicing the ability to crack walnuts. His strength is getting stronger and stronger, but there are no walnuts around him to crack. He can only force himself to entertain himself.

No wonder he dragged Lololia to stay there for a while. It seems that he also wants to get some fresh air and vitality from her.

"Then what reward did the mastermind give you in the end?" Tilan recalled the content discussed with the Mechanical Council before.

"Yes." Lololia raised her hand happily.

"In the past ten years, Sister Xia Lan has presided over the Council. Her external appearance is that of a sister next door with long flaxen hair, a shoulder-baring summer dress, and bright eyes like sunflowers."

"It seems that you like her very much." Tilan smiled.

"Yes, there are many things that cannot be communicated with the mechanical bodies around me, so I can only chat with her every day. As the ruling mastermind, Sister Xia Lan is still very powerful."

"In order to reward my contributions over the years, she helped me apply for the best spare parts, and also assisted me in being promoted to Sequence 8 and becoming an α-level mechanical angel."

"This is indeed a very precious reward for you." Tilan sighed.

Even for artificial angels, who have excellent innate training conditions, there are only a few who can reach Sequence 8. There are probably only one in a thousand who can leap from Sequence 7 to Sequence 8 like Lololia.

After reminiscing about the past with Lololia, Tilan met the messenger from the Mechanical Council again.

"It's been 5576 days, 21 hours, and 41 minutes, Tilan." Vivian waved her hand and greeted with a smile.

She was wearing a lemon-colored summer dress, just like the first time they met. Her style was bright, and her bright yellow hair was like in the wind, with a sense of ease and ease.

"You mechanical angels, do you remember time so clearly?" Tilan was a little surprised by this way of greeting, but she thought it was reasonable. Perhaps mechanical bodies have a completely different view of time from humans.

"Of course, because meeting Tilan is an important thing, I will remember it very clearly." She and Tilan sat by the artificial beach in the space station. Above their heads was the vast starry sky through the metal glass, and below was the beautiful beach shining with simulated sunlight.

The water waves gently rolled over the white sand, and the soothing background music echoed from time to time. The two bathed in the breeze and talked about the past.

"I'm very sorry that it took so long to return Lololia." Vivian held the lemonade in one hand and gently lifted the few strands of hair that were blown away by her ear with the other hand.

"I am a subordinate mechanical angel of the mastermind-Shalan. Lady Shalan likes Lololia very much. She refused to let her go, and I didn't have a good solution."

"What kind of person is Miss Shalan?" Tilan became curious about the mastermind of the Mechanical Council who had never met.

"Lady Shalan was born in the 209th year of the Sixth Era. Her personality template was imitated from Fengxuan, a famous singer in the Federation at that time. At that time, she was the singer whose influence was second only to Silugya, the Blood Fiber Orchid." Vivian recalled the information in the database.

"Like Miss Feng Xuan, Lady Xia Lan loves the refreshing seaside style. Her dressing style and speaking habits are almost the same as that of the singer. However, as a mechanical life, her thinking range will expand spontaneously, so now, she and Miss Feng Xuan are still quite different and cannot be regarded as each other's counterparts."

"Is it common in the Sigma Council to have mechanical life born with the singer as a template?" Tilan was surprised.

"There are quite a few, but it is not a routine." Vivian shook her head.

"At that time, Miss Feng Xuan visited the Sigma Mechanical Council and met the then Mechanical Council Mastermind. She took the initiative to propose to use herself as a template to create a new mechanical angel." "

I am sure that there will be a day when I grow old and die, but if I can leave my most youthful and beautiful image, even if I die one day, there will be people who are curious and miss the singer named Feng Xuan." Feng Xuan, the "Summer Blue Orchid" at that time, explained the reason.

"Finally, she also gave Lord Xia Lan her name. She said that her title better represented her personal style and uniqueness, and she wanted to pass it on."

"So, Lord Xia Lan was born in the end." Vivian told all this.

"It is said that after Lord Xia Lan was born, he spent some time with Miss Feng Xuan. The two were like twins, wearing the same clothes and combing the same hairstyle. Miss Feng Xuan personally taught Lord Xia Lan how to dress himself, what style of clothes to wear, how to get along with others, etc."

"In the Federation of that era, 'Blood Fiber Orchid' Xilugeya was the most rebellious and free singing girl representative, while 'Summer Blue Orchid' Miss Feng Xuan was more of a compromise. She yearned for a relaxed and leisurely life, but she did not completely abandon the conservatism and responsibility in the old traditions. This made her more popular with the Federal Parliament. Many official activities were led by her, and Miss Xilugeya was also happy to escape the constraints of these frameworks."

The two sat at a small table by the beach and talked about the names that had once shone in the history of the Federation.

"Since 'Blood Orchid' Shilugeya, the Federation has entered an era of flourishing, various ideologies and thoughts have become active, and many traditional values ​​have gradually collapsed."

"At that time, many radical singers also appeared. Among them, 'Void Space' Lilia once suggested that humans should be gradually transformed into AI life, so as to gain greater room for advancement and directly start the Age of Discovery of extragalactic exploration." "

There is also 'Thousand Color Fantasy Fruit' Echen. She proposed that we should vigorously develop plant and biological technology, and gradually replace industrial materials and buildings, so that humans can return to nature."

"And 'Ink Stone Electric Light' Xu Ling. This singer believes that humans in the new era should all have brain interfaces that can access electronic information, so that people can adapt to the increasing demand for knowledge transmission and raise the upper limit of civilization to a higher level, etc."

"From today's perspective, the ideas of that era were extremely bold and avant-garde. Under their leadership, the Federation also burst into great vitality. In that era, the Federation had up to six Sunday-level singers online at the same time, which was also extremely powerful." Vivian told Tilan about this history.

"Is it so crazy? Unfortunately, I rarely see information about that era on the Internet within the Federation." Tilan felt a little regretful. It seemed that the official had made a lot of cuts to the past history.

"What changes have taken place since then, so that the things you just described have never been heard of by the residents of the Federation today."

"There were many disputes, and these ideas and concepts encountered too much resistance in their implementation, and finally came to nothing. With the death of the singer herself, they were gradually forgotten."

"For example, the ethical issues between AI life and real individuals, how to prove that AI life is not a replica, if the original consciousness has not entered the electronic network, then such behavior is considered suicide, etc."

"Also, if you just need an AI life that is similar to yourself, you can now use various high-level AI to imitate it, without having to spend more time and effort to come up with unnecessary rules and restrictions."

"Replacing industrial materials with natural materials sounds good. For example, some planets where elves live now still retain many houses transformed from native trees, streets decorated with various luminous plants, and warm restaurants and bars directly transformed from trees, etc. However, this type of plant material is completely unsuitable for some office buildings, test bases, and military sites with strict requirements. Later, it could only be promoted to catering and home environments as a decoration style."

"Many novel concepts did not bring about dramatic changes as expected after they were actually put into practice. In the end, they lost their fresh and special aura and became a very common style choice." Vivian shook her head gently.

"Under such disappointment, a retro trend was set off in the Federation. It was probably that they would no longer play with you people who were doing novelty and special things every day, and would choose classic retro things."

"At that time, the overall atmosphere in the Federation was nostalgic, and they believed that things and principles that had been tested by time were trustworthy." "

It was also during that era that the seats in the Federal Central Council gradually solidified. For example, the descendants of members of parliament were also members of parliament. Everyone felt that based on the words and deeds of his father, this descendant would also have good character, and they would be more willing to vote for this acquaintance, rather than a new candidate who came from a corner and had no reputation."

"Later, it was the changes set off by Her Highness Amy Larin." Vivian finished talking about the general history of the Federation.

After the two of them finished talking about this, Vivian talked about Tilan's views on the future again.

"My thoughts are similar to those of my predecessors. The Federation does need something new to break the old framework of the past, otherwise it will always be stuck in the same place and difficult to break through."

"As for the specific actions and directions, these really need to be carefully chosen." She actually wanted to change almost the entire logic of human civilization, but it was a bit shocking to say this now.

"From this point of view, the Federation will not be too boring in the next few decades." Vivian responded with a smile, and then looked at the starry sky outside the dome.

"In fact, we in the Mechanical Council are also looking forward to change, looking forward to breaking away from these monotonous tasks and entering a more real and needed era."

"Humans can probably still live according to their emotions and habits, but we can't. The clear logical chain of mechanical AI does not allow vague and confusing things to be used as a guide for survival."

"But after all, we don't have too many needs and goals to accomplish, so we can only hope that you will bring a new mission to human civilization."
