Chapter 763: Return of Lololia

Southern star region, Thunderhorn star field.

This is a star field not far from the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Field, but it is not well-known.

On the space station orbiting the "Thunder" habitable planet, Tilan and a small number of followers met the long-lost Loloria, and behind her stood several accompanying mechanical bodies.

"Wow, Tilan, I'm finally back, woooo." Loloria was still as emotional as before. She hugged Tilan and was about to wipe away her tears, but unfortunately her body did not have the template for crying.

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

Compared to the lively Loloria, the expressions of these people are much colder. Although they are all beautiful women, they lack some human vitality.

This is probably related to the environment. Tilan remembered that Loloria said that if a machine does not live with humans, observe and learn every day, it will be difficult for it to acquire rich emotions.

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

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

"It's so cold in the Sigma Mechanical Council. Since everyone is a machine, there's no need for air conditioners or heaters. The working and living environment is very low, which is suitable for the operation of electronic components and can also reduce aging." Loloria complained about the environment there.

"Also, people rarely talk. They communicate directly with electronic signals. So you can see many machines busy in a city, but you've never seen anyone talking."

"So what is your daily work and life like?" Tilan was curious whether the mechanical bodies needed to go to work.

"Complete the tasks assigned by the main brain. These tasks are varied, such as asking you to design a game, build a building, or draw a picture." Loloria became excited at this time.

"There are lots and lots of tasks, all kinds of them. Every time it's like a lottery. I don't know what the purpose of completing these tasks is." She tilted her head.

"Later I thought that the purpose of these tasks was not so much to accomplish something as to be routine maintenance, just like buying a car and leaving it in the garage for a long time. You need to run it every once in a while to avoid breakdowns."

"Normally, most machines spend their time in deep sleep. Of the time they are awake, 80% is spent completing missions, 5% is spent learning about the current news and technological advances of the Rose Federation, 5% is spent on social activities, and 10% is spent on combat drills."

"Social activities?" Upon hearing this, Tilan couldn't help but ask curiously how machines socialized with each other.

"Yes, this part is compulsory. It's like playing a game. Five robots are picked out and asked to participate in an activity, such as planting trees together, drinking tea together, or playing games together." Loloria recalled her life over the past few years.

"When playing games, they are almost always those with randomness, because without randomness balance, the machines will default to choosing the best or worst course of action based on calculations."

"From the look of you, it seems that you are not satisfied with this kind of social activity?" Tilan continued to ask.

"That's right. I'm not satisfied at all. Everyone is so cold. It's like they're just completing a task. They're too goal-oriented." Loloria complained.

"For example, when planting trees, people fly up one by one and use guns to make precise holes, then throw in the seedlings. Then the next person comes up to fill in the soil and water them. There is no communication during the whole process."

"Is that so?" Tilan nodded slightly.

"Is it the Mastermind that set up these activities?"

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

Then Loloria talked a lot about the situation of the Mechanical Council, and Tilan also roughly outlined the environment there in his mind.

Today's Mechanical Parliament is like a strongman who has been practicing his ability to crack walnuts. His strength is getting stronger and stronger, but there are no walnuts around him to crack, so he can only force himself to entertain himself.

No wonder he wanted to drag Loloria to stay there for a while longer. It seemed that he wanted to get some fresh air and vitality from her.

"So what kind of reward did the Mastermind give you in the end?" Tilan thought of what she had discussed with the Mechanical Council before.

"I gave it to you." Loloria raised her hand happily.

"For the past ten years, Sister Xia Lan has been presiding over the parliament. Her external appearance is that of a girl next door with long flaxen hair, a shoulder-baring summer dress, and eyes as bright as sunflowers."

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

"Yes, there are many things that I cannot communicate 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 assisted me in being promoted to Sequence 8, becoming an α-class mechanical angel."

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

Even among artificial angels, beings with excellent innate conditions for cultivation, those who have reached the extraordinary level of Sequence 8 are a very small group. Those who have made the leap from Sequence 7 to Sequence 8, like Loloria, are probably only one in a thousand.

After reminiscing with Loloria, Tilan met the envoy 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.

Just like the first time we met, she was wearing a lemon-colored summer dress with a lively style. Her bright yellow hair seemed to be blowing in the wind, giving her a sense of ease and carefreeness.

"You mechanical angels, do you all remember time so clearly?" Tilan was a little surprised by this way of greeting, but she also felt it was reasonable. Perhaps machines have a completely different concept 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, separated by metal glass, was the vast starry sky, and below was the beautiful beach with simulated sunlight. The 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 so sorry that it took me so long to return Loloria." Vivian held the lemonade in one hand and gently lifted the few strands of hair that were blown away by the side of her ear with the other hand.

"I am a subordinate mechanical angel of the mastermind Xia Lan. Lady Xia Lan likes Loloria very much. She refuses to let her go, and I don't have any better solution."

"What kind of person is Miss Xia Lan?" Tilan became curious about the leader of the Mechanical Council whom she had never met before.

"Lady Xia Lan was born in the year 209 of the Sixth Era. Her personality template was modeled after a famous singer in the Federation at that time, 'Summer Orchid' Feng Xuan. At that time, she was the singer whose influence was second only to 'Blood Fiber Orchid' Silugya." 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 spontaneously expand. So now, there are still many differences between her and Miss Feng Xuan, and she cannot be regarded as the other's counterpart."

"Are mechanical life forms born based on the singer's template common in the Sigma Council?" Tilan was surprised.

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

"At that time, Miss Feng Xuan visited the Sigma Mechanical Council and met the then-leader of the Mechanical Council. It was she who took the initiative to propose using herself as a template to create a new mechanical angel."

"I will definitely grow old and pass away one day, but if I can leave behind the image of myself when I was young and beautiful, even if I die one day, there will be people who are curious about and miss the singer named Feng Xuan." Feng Xuan, who was known as "Summer Blue Orchid" at that time, explained the reason like this.

"Finally, she was the one who gave Lord Xia Lan the name. She said that her title better represented her personal style and uniqueness, and she wanted to pass this title on."

"So, in the end, Lady Xia Lan was born." Vivian narrated it all.

"It is said that after Master Xia Lan was born, he spent some time with Miss Feng Xuan. The two of them were like twins, wearing the same clothes and having the same hairstyle. Miss Feng Xuan personally taught Master 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 Orchid' Silugya was the most rebellious and free singing girl, while 'Summer Orchid' Miss Fengxuan was more of a compromiser. She yearned for a relaxed and leisurely life, but she did not completely abandon the conservatism and responsibility of the old traditions. This made her more popular with the Federal Parliament. Many official activities were led by her, and Miss Silugya 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.

"After the death of Blood Orchid Silugya, the Federation entered an era of flourishing of all kinds of ideas and thoughts, while many traditional values ​​gradually collapsed."

"At that time, many radical singers also appeared. Among them, Lilia from the Void Space once suggested that humans should be gradually transformed into AI life forms. This would give them more room for advancement and allow them to directly start the Age of Exploration for extragalactic exploration."

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

"There is also the 'Inkstone Lightning' Sequel Spirit. This singer believes that humans in the new era should all obtain brain interfaces that can access electronic information. This way, people can adapt to the increasing demand for knowledge transmission and raise the ceiling of civilization to a higher level, etc."

"Looking back at it 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. During that era, the Federation had up to six Sunday-level singers online at the same time, which made it 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? As a result, the things you just described are unheard of by today's federal residents."

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

"For example, there are ethical issues between AI life and real individuals. How to prove that AI life is not a replica? If the original consciousness does not enter the electronic network, then does this behavior count as suicide?"

"Also, if you just need an AI life that is similar to you, you can use various advanced AIs to imitate it now. There is no need to spend more time and effort to come up with unnecessary rules and restrictions."

"It sounds good to use natural materials instead of industrial materials. For example, some planets inhabited by elves still retain many houses transformed from native trees, streets decorated with various luminous plants, and cozy restaurants and bars directly transformed from trees. 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 restaurants and home environments as a decoration style."

“Many novel concepts, when put into practice, do not bring about the expected dramatic changes. In the end, they lose their fresh and special aura and become a very common style choice.” Vivian shook her head slightly.

"With such disappointment, a retro trend has emerged in the Federation. It's probably because they no longer want to play with you guys who are always trying to do something new and special. They just want to choose classic retro things."

"At that time, the overall atmosphere in the Federation was nostalgic, and people believed that only things and principles that had stood the test of time were trustworthy."

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

"After that, it was the reform initiated by Her Highness Amyraline." Vivian finished talking about the general history of the Federation.

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

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

"As for specific actions and directions, these do require careful consideration." What she actually wanted to change was almost the entire logic of human civilization, but saying this now was a bit shocking.

"It seems that 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. We hope to break away from these monotonous tasks and enter a more real and needed era."

"Humans may still be able to live according to their emotions and habits without realizing it, but we can't. The clear logic chain of mechanical AI does not allow vague and confusing things to serve as a guide for survival."

"But we don't have many needs and goals to accomplish, so we can only place our hopes on you to bring a new mission to human civilization."
