Chapter 17
After this incident, Chen Xi was completely certain that the blond figure was Jin Yi, and that no one was lying to him.
Thinking of Jin Yi's god-like appearance, Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh. As expected of the main brain, its appearance is extraordinary. In fact, when he first learned that Jin Yi was the main brain, he had some doubts. After all, apart from the different color of its eyes, Jin Yi looked no different from an ordinary machine. But now that he saw Jin Yi's true form, well, the main brain is indeed the main brain, it still has a certain air of superiority.
Chen Xi seemed to have accepted Jin Yi's true form, but after a while, Jin Yi was not very happy.
During this time, he discovered that although he had arrived in front of Chen Xi in his true form, Chen Xi was still thinking about his temporary backup body.
Even though his original body was always with him, Chenxi would ask him about it every now and then if she didn't see the backup body for a while, she would only show a happy smile when she saw it again.
Moreover, Chenxi enjoys watching thrilling horror movies. Whenever she gets scared, her eyes immediately search for the figure of her backup body. When she sees something she likes on the StarNet, the first person she wants to share it with is often her backup body. Even for many intimate things, such as helping her take a bath, she prefers to let her backup body do it.
This gave Jin Yi a subtle feeling, even though he knew that the backup body was also his. When he used that backup body to get along with Chen Xi, he felt all of Chen Xi's closeness and enjoyed it.
But now he has returned, and he has brought his original body to Chen Xi. Compared with the spare body that he has only used for a few months, Jin Yi naturally feels more at home with his original body that he has used for hundreds of years. However, the feeling that his original body is overshadowed by a spare body still makes him feel very strange, and even makes him dislike the spare body that he used for a period of time.
Furthermore, Jin Yi genuinely believed that as the main body of the brain, he was far superior to that crude backup body in every aspect. He couldn't understand why Chen Xi was so fixated on that backup body. Once, Jin Yi even deliberately asked Chen Xi whether he was prettier in his original form or the backup body, just to make Chen Xi realize the difference between the two.
Chenxi's answer left him speechless. Chenxi replied that his original body was very handsome, but his backup body was also super cool, and both were equally handsome.
At that moment, even Jin Yi's powerful computing capabilities as the main brain almost went awry, because he didn't know how Chen Xi had come to this conclusion; he knew something must have gone wrong.
Realizing this, Jin Yi began to analyze the situation carefully from the beginning, and then he realized a mistake that he had never realized before, but had already made.
That is, humans and machines are different. The only standard for machines to recognize each other is based on the unique core code of each machine species. However, humans mainly use appearance as the means of identification and attach emotions to it.
In other words, although he only used that spare body for a period of time, for Chen Xi, that spare body was the first person he saw after waking up, and that spare body was also an anchor for him to build feelings. So even though his original body is now in front of him, even though he knows that they are actually the same in their core, that spare body itself is a part of the feelings he has built, so of course he will treat it specially.
When Jin Yi realized this, it was too late for regrets. He never expected that using a spare body for convenience because his original body couldn't go there immediately would cause such a consequence.
Suddenly, Jin Yi thought of something and issued a query command in his mind: query the spare body universe inventory of model A4655.
Then, a moment later, his face turned pale, because the query results showed that there were 10,000 spare bodies of model A4655 in the universe, of which 6,378 had been used and 3,622 were in stock.
As we all know, every machine race has a unique original body. However, the machine race is a special life form. Even if the original body is severely damaged, as long as the core program and chip are intact, it can replace itself with another body to continue living. At this time, the use of a spare body becomes apparent. In fact, every starship is required to carry a certain number of spare bodies to deal with special situations.
This is how Jin Yi obtained the spare body he used. As everyone knows, spare bodies are different from the original body; they are mass-produced. Therefore, there are a total of ten thousand spare body models in the universe that Chen Xi liked more than his original body! Just thinking about it made Jin Yi feel suffocated.
The next moment, an instruction from the mainframe was quickly sent out through the StarNet.
—Destroy all existing A4655 model spare bodies in stock. Any used spare bodies will be recycled. The recyclers will be compensated with an A5000 model spare body and awarded 10,000 contribution points.
After issuing the order and receiving feedback that all A4655 models in stock had been destroyed, Jin Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, due to this unexpected event, Jin Yi changed her mind, as she had originally planned to take Chen Xi to explore various parts of the base recently. After all, all the A4655 models in stock had been destroyed, but those that had already been used were scattered throughout the universe, and it would take some time to recover them.
He didn't want to take Chenxi for a walk around the base, but halfway there Chenxi was lured away by a machine race that looked like the A4655 model.
