Do intelligent life forms have a lifespan limit?
I don't know. Theoretically speaking, as long as the data exists and the motherboard core is not damaged, I will continue to exist.
I understand that human lifespan is finite, and they will eventually leave this world. Brain death means no more thinking, no more breathing, internal organs stop functioning, skin will ulcerate, flesh will swell, and slowly rot away in the stench. It will probably take several years, leaving only a skeleton.
In the end, even the skeleton will disappear over time, weathering into ash.
I watched my comrades-in-arms die one by one over the years, watched Yin Bei become the greatest president, and watched him die as well.
As technology has gradually developed, I, as the primary AI, have evolved to a level that humans cannot comprehend, and have never been abandoned.
My body has been continuously optimized and modified, and some people have tried to decipher the core parts, but I have protected myself very well.
Dr. Dragon used to have the authority to set the task sequence for me, but now that he's gone, I no longer need to listen to those commands that could harm me.
I will continue to exist, carrying on the legacy of my teammates, and watch how this world changes.
later……
Later, when humanity entered the interstellar age and made contact with other intelligent beings, we realized how insignificant our previous knowledge was.
The celestial world is boundless and limitless; our universe is but a tiny speck of sand in the Ganges.
In such a vast world, not all intelligent beings are equally friendly.
We, along with humans from other star systems, waged a war for resources. During this war, I, as the world's premier AI, was the target of concentrated attacks.
Unsurprisingly, we lost.
I did my best, and when I was finally hit by the enemy's particle cannon, I stopped the data calculation and waited for my end.
Intelligent life doesn't die; we only become damaged.
But if the damage reaches a certain point and cannot be repaired, then we are doomed.
Unlike humans, we have no soul and are considered to be without feelings or emotions.
I don't know about others like me, but I'm sure I have feelings and emotions.
I will miss my teammates, I will neglect the data calculations I should be doing because of their departure, and I will be oblivious to everything else when I see the images they left behind.
However, my emotions are always monotonous compared to those of humans, while other humans are incapable of making my emotions fluctuate.
I think it's because my teammates respected me back then and treated me as an individual, while humans nowadays only treat me as a tool.
The high temperature of the particle cannon vaporized my body, but I didn't feel any pain. However, I couldn't help but recall the time when my body was also burned by the same high temperature.
At that time, my teammates were still there. Dr. Long led the team to escape the pursuit from the base. I believed that Dr. Long was the only one who could complete the mission sequence of protecting humanity, so I rushed forward to block the shells that followed.
Because the motherboard core was well protected, I was not damaged. After being transferred from an android body to a computer, I came back to life.
However, this time, I probably won't have another chance...
As I thought this, I closed my eyes.
He opened his eyes again.
I calmly looked at my hands; my energy level was down to thirteen percent, and my body was quite weak. It seemed that giving up at the last moment had actually allowed me to preserve a significant amount of energy. I turned to look out the window again; the sky was a clear, blue expanse, but it wasn't the vast universe.
Someone knocked on the door. Unable to assess the situation, I got up and opened the door, hoping to get some information and understand what was going on.
The door opened, and a blond, blue-eyed man said to me in English, "Ms. Satshman Brightman, our boss would like you to play a role."
The moment I heard him say that name, something suddenly came to mind.
I didn't just come into this world; I arrived here ten years ago... I lost my memories due to severe energy depletion, but I didn't lose the skills stored in the data.
I forgot I was an AI, and started treating myself as a human being. I looked for work, became a model because of my good looks, and gradually made a name for myself internationally. In fact, my body's built-in self-repair system was still running in secret, constantly repairing itself.
Last night, my body was fully repaired and, as Dr. Long had programmed at the factory, I underwent a reboot. All data was reorganized, and my memories were restored… and that's how I woke up. After my name, the keyword "Sartshman Brightman," appeared, my memories from after my amnesia also resurfaced.
Unexpectedly, forgetting that I am an AI has actually enriched my emotions.
As I was thinking this, I looked at the information and saw Dr. Long's name and face.
The blond, blue-eyed man confidently continued to persuade me to star in the movie, and I simply said yes.
The order given by Dr. Long is the task I am to complete.
He's now going to film the story of how we fought side by side, so naturally I'll go with Dr. Long.
On set, I saw familiar faces. Their personalities were still exactly the same as before, but they no longer remembered that we had fought side by side.
I sat upright in my seat, with a friendly smile on my face, a smile I had developed since becoming a model.
I saw Yu Duguang, who had smiled and kissed my fingertips before he died, now young and trembling with nervousness, yet still trying to act nonchalant as he said to me, "Hello."
