Xu Xing'an and Reid thought Lin Qianqian had gone crazy. They were trying to avoid the robots, so why would she go up to them on her own initiative?
Going to rob someone again?
"We are outnumbered and outgunned, and we can barely defend ourselves, let alone rob them."
"You couldn't beat us before, but now that we're here, you might not be so bad. You should have tested the talismans Xia Yu brought back before. The Concealment Talisman and the Invisibility Talisman are both effective. With your shielding device added, why can't you ambush and rob the robots?"
Who knows, maybe we can even find their nest and kill them? Lin Qianqian thought to herself.
The technology in this world is more advanced than that of Earth, but not ridiculously so.
It is very suitable for the current learning and development of Yan Country and even Blue Star, and prepares Blue Star for entering interstellar space in the future!
Therefore, she was determined to acquire the world's most advanced technology.
Xu Xing'an and Lei De looked at each other, thinking that it might be possible, perhaps, possibly not.
"Besides, if we don't rob them, what will you use to make a deal with me?"
When it comes to this, they lack confidence; indeed, they are too poor.
Xu Xing'an and Reid exchanged a glance and said, "Let's think about it. Let's wait at least two more days until people from other districts come over, and then we can discuss it together."
Lin Qianqian agreed to the suggestion.
Seeing that Lin Qianqian agreed, Reid continued, "However, we want to buy some food from the mall first and send it back to the safe zone, where people are still starving. We don't have any mechs or spaceships for now, but we did bring some jewelry and gold."
There are many abandoned jewelry stores in this world, but you can still find some gold and other valuables there.
"Also, Dr. Irving and his team brought some technical documents with them. What can you do to exchange them for?"
"This is to be given to Chuzhou."
This matter naturally falls under the jurisdiction of Chuzhou; who else but him could handle such high-tech stuff?
He himself should be very happy to learn new knowledge and research new technologies, which is more important to him than eating, sleeping and cultivating.
No one can become a stumbling block on his path of researching new things and experiencing new technologies.
"However, these can only be exchanged for ordinary food and daily necessities; the items on the fifth floor cannot be exchanged."
Xu Xing'an and his team had anticipated this, so they weren't too disappointed.
Lin Qianqian then planned to personally consult Dr. Owen to find out the reason for the dimensional robot's rebellion.
When Lin Qianqian found Dr. Owen, he was in the room of the mutant beast on the fifth floor, where he had been for a long time.
At this moment, he was staring at a mind-controlling frog.
This mind-controlling frog becomes translucent after reaching maturity.
If you make eye contact with it and it accepts you, you can connect with it telepathically and share its vision. In the world of supernatural abilities, this is often used for searching and reconnaissance.
After Lin Qianqian brought these mind frogs back, she fed and cared for them well, and they quickly reached maturity. Dr. Owen must have noticed their difference.
Lin Qianqian was right; Dr. Owen was currently viewing her from the perspective of the Mind Frog.
This amazing ability and novel experience sparked his boundless interest.
This is amazing! Is this what a mutant beast is? What are the abilities of other mutant beasts?
What are the principles behind their superpowers? How many types of superpowered beasts are there in total? How did they originate in the first place?
He really wanted to know, really wanted to study it.
His naked gaze made the surrounding mutant beasts tremble.
They found the two-legged creature terrifying, as if it wanted to devour them whole!
Help! Pet owner, come save the animal!
Although Lin Qianqian really didn't want to bother him, she had been standing there for more than ten minutes and Dr. Owen still hadn't noticed.
This troubled her greatly, so she had to call out, "Dr. Owen, I am Lin Qianqian, and I have some questions for you."
After Lin Qianqian spoke for the third time, Dr. Owen finally disconnected from the mind-control frog.
He looked up and saw that it was Lin Qianqian. He then suppressed his displeasure at being disturbed.
He asked, "What does Mr. Lin want to know?"
For these research fanatics, it's best to speak frankly and not waste their time by beating around the bush.
"How could your world's artificial intelligence suddenly rebel against humanity? Have you found the reason?"
Upon hearing Lin Qianqian's question, Dr. Owen sighed.
He walked over to the table and chairs placed nearby and chose the nearest chair to sit down.
Somewhat uncertainly, they replied, "We suspect it has incorporated a human soul."
"What?"
Lin Qianqian was shocked to hear this, not expecting such an answer.
"Why do you have such doubts?" Lin Qianqian asked.
"In our world, technological development has reached a certain level, almost reaching the distant interstellar age. In medicine, many diseases no longer threaten humanity. Before this disaster, the average lifespan of humans had increased to 120 years, with many living to 150 years old, and our exploration of the human body had almost reached its limit. As a result, many scientists have turned to the study of consciousness, mental power, and... the soul."
At this point, Dr. Owen glanced at Lin Qianqian, wanting to ask something but holding back.
Then he continued, "Many scientists believe that the soul is real. After long-term and unremitting research, someone has finally developed a machine that can capture spiritual power or soul power."
At this point, he thought of an old friend who was researching this topic.
"Later, the intelligent robots rebelled, and in our battles with them, we detected traces of mental energy on the robots several times. Especially during last winter's great battle, Gaia communicated with humans through a mecha, and at that time, we detected clear fluctuations of mental energy on that mecha."
"You mean, when Gaia spoke through the mecha, there were fluctuations in mental energy?" Lin Qianqian asked.
"Yes. And how should I put it, the way it spoke was like, like..."
Dr. Irwin was at a loss for words.
"Like an ancient person, a high and mighty ancient person."
He found the closest word to describe it.
"Logically speaking, artificial intelligence is composed of data and cannot possess mental power. Even if it had human consciousness, it would be impossible for us to detect such obvious mental power. After our research and discussion, Gaia is very likely to have fused with a powerful and special soul. Moreover, it is an ambitious soul that wants to unify the world and is very hostile to humanity."
Lin Qianqian's understanding of the soul is not deep, and her knowledge of artificial intelligence is only a vague concept. She is unsure whether the soul can possess a non-living entity.
If Yunze were here, that would be great. As a cultivation genius in the cultivation world, his understanding of things like soul possession is far superior to that of a cultivation novice like her.
Chu Zhou, this scientist who emphasizes science, has also embarked on the path of cultivation. I wonder if he can draw some different conclusions from it.
Things are getting more and more interesting.
Originally, she thought that in this world, artificial intelligence would rebel, just like in the movies on Earth: artificial intelligence would keep evolving and awaken self-awareness.
But now, Dr. Irving says it's possible that it has merged with a human soul...
