"Is the energy crystal ready?"
Mondo was very efficient. "As you instructed, boss. I recharged them with energy crystals before you arrived."
"Very good." Li Lin praised.
Then, he took out a small, sophisticated charging mechanical box from the shoulder bag he was carrying.
He reached out and pressed the small dial button on the front of the box several times in a regular pattern. The lock cylinder of the box flashed with light and made a slight "click" sound.
Open the box, and you will see 12 smart chips lying quietly on the small support frame inside the box.
He first took out an intelligent chip, walked to the rare quality mechanical engineer closest to him, opened the protective hatch between its eyebrows, and placed the chip inside.
With the data core, the iconic blue light of the energy crystal flashed on the mechanical engineer's chest and quickly extended to the surrounding body along the gaps between the mechanical gears.
In just 10 seconds, the mechanical engineer's empty eyes were filled with blue light. He first scanned himself, and then quickly compared Li Lin and Mondo with the database.
"Self scan in progress."
"Physical integrity: 100%."
"Energy level: 100%."
"There are no abnormalities in the body's function."
"All functional modules are operating normally."
"Scanning the target object and comparing it with the database..."
"Targets displayed: Li Lin, Mondo."
"Mechanical Engineer Unit 7 reports to you, my master."
It has a neutral, mechanical voice, quite different from Blitzcrank's, and similar to the voice of the Acebot.
Mondo's face showed an expression of disbelief, "Wow, Boss! It can actually talk!"
"Mr. Mondo, I am an intelligent engineering robot. I have the ability to simulate human thinking and can naturally speak." Before Li Lin could respond, Mechanical Engineer No. 7 answered first.
"Your invention is truly magnificent!" Mondo exclaimed in awe. "Those people in Upper City are totally insulting you by calling you 'Future Pioneer'... In my opinion, you should be called 'Creator'!"
Li Lin raised his eyebrows and suddenly thought of the Battlefield Mech universe.
The creator Victor created a large number of battlefield mechas with the intention of occupying the entire world. Only a few resistance forces struggled to fight against the mechanical army.
"Why did you think of this name?"
"Because you've created a complete mechanical race!" Mondo said excitedly, pointing at Mechanical Engineer No. 7. "Just think about it, your machines are mass-produced, and they can even think for themselves. Once they're in large enough numbers..."
He didn't finish his words. Li Lin could understand his thoughts, but there was a flash in the eyes of the No. 7 mechanical engineer, and he looked a little confused.
"Mr. Mondo, you are wrong. Although we have self-evolved logic, we cannot think for ourselves. We simply simulate human thinking according to fixed procedures and make judgments and decisions based on databases."
"So, you and your... uh, 'brothers and sisters'? Were they the boss's creation?" Mondo asked back.
"Yes, Mr. Mondo."
"That's all, isn't it? I've recently read a lot of books on mechanics compiled by Mr. Li Lin, and I have a general idea of what a database is.
"If your database stores enough data, even if you simulate thinking and add logic and other things, you can almost reach the level of normal humans.
"At this point, are you really just machines, or do you think you are just machines?"
Li Lin was stunned by Mondo's remarks.
Li Lin was afraid that Mondo would be bored, but he also didn't want him to get addicted to computer games, so he gave him a few books on mechanical principles that he had learned through the system and summarized based on his daily experience.
It's only been a few days, and this guy can already say something that contains a bit of "philosophy"...
However, for Mechanical Engineer No. 7, Mundo's words were a little difficult to understand.
"We are the Master's creations, and we obey all of the Master's orders at all times."
Mondo raised his eyebrows, curled his lips, and continued, "Okay, then according to your statement, the boss created you, so it's okay to call him the Creator, right?"
He was very stubborn in some aspects and was determined to correct the mechanical engineer's "ideas".
“…”
Engineer No. 7 fell into a brief silence.
Li Lin was afraid that the problem Mondo raised was far beyond the intelligent chip's ability to handle and would burn it out, so he quickly stopped him and said, "Alright, alright, let's get down to business first. Let's install the chips on the other mechanical engineers first."
He gave 3 chips to Mundo, put 4 into the hands of Mechanical Engineer No. 7, and took the remaining 4 for himself.
But before Li Lin could leave, Mechanical Engineer No. 7 called out to him, "Master, do you like the title 'Creator'?"
"It's okay... I don't care about this."
The eyes of Mechanical Engineer No. 7 flashed, and then he said in a neutral, mechanical voice:
"Source Project Infinite Fourth Generation Intelligent Brain Network connection successful, updating the synchronization database..."
"Update character information: Li Lin."
"Original title: Future Pioneer."
"Updated title: Creator."
Li Lin was stunned, and then he realized that this was the effect of the "self-evolution logic of artificial intelligence."
Mondo looked delighted and patted Engineer No. 7 on the back as a gesture of friendship.
"Right, that's the proper title, Creator Li Lin. Isn't this title more majestic and domineering than the 'Future Pioneer' that those people in Upper City are thinking of?"
