Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 786 Crossing the Boundary of Life

Sixth Era, 1283, the Year of Echoes.

The Federation's singing diva 'Styx Yinghua' Jian Xiner unexpectedly disappeared during the conflict. The authorities did not give a detailed explanation of the specific process of the conflict, only saying that the singing diva took confrontational measures because she was dissatisfied with the Federation's policies, which eventually led to a large number of deaths and injuries in underground buildings due to the collapse of buildings.

However, this is only the official statement. According to the locals in the Black Lion Star Region, they saw a strange and illusory crown. On the day of the incident, many people also claimed that they heard the singer's singing in their dreams and saw many acquaintances who had passed away.

Of course, this statement only circulated locally, and for the federation as a whole, it was like a small splash of water that quickly disappeared.

For most residents of the Federation, now is a time of rapid development. Since Pulin unified the Federation, drastic changes in various industries have caused many giant companies to fall and disintegrate, but it has also given more opportunities for people at the bottom to rise. Many construction projects also require a large number of personnel and resources, which makes the economy and resources of the entire society in a state of rapid circulation and continuous appreciation.

In such a turbulent state, the slight pain is quickly forgiven and ignored by the public, and then they focus on where to work, settle down and their future plans.

……

Time passed by imperceptibly, and another five years had passed.

Sigma Mechanical Council, T-2831's living planet.

"Today is the wedding celebration of the two newlyweds. Let us congratulate and wish them happiness in their future life~" The traditional and inspiring speech was read out by the host, and then the two walked out side by side amid applause and expectant gazes.

"To be honest, the combination of humans and mechanical life forms always feels unreal no matter how many times I see it." One of the applauding guests talked to a friend.

"Who said it wasn't? When we followed Princess Tilan, we didn't expect this kind of life."

"The difference between humans and machine life is not only in the physical composition, but also in ethical and philosophical differences. No matter how you look at it, such a marriage is an extremely bold and risky attempt."

"No one knows how things will turn out in the end. Now we can only wait and see what kind of life these pioneers will have."

After that, the applause stopped, and the two newlyweds stood completely on the stage. The groom was still a little restrained and nervous. After all, he had never dreamed that such a wedding would be so bizarre before. But now, he has thought it through and made sufficient mental preparations.

"Are you still nervous, Ling?" His newlywed wife, wearing a beautiful wedding dress, whispered in his ear as they held hands.

"Yes, a little bit." Ling took a deep breath, not daring to look at Valerian beside him.

As a high-level mechanical life form, Valerian's physical appearance is almost the same as that of humans. His skin is white and soft, his weight is similar to that of humans, and even his body temperature is the same, making it difficult to distinguish. Moreover, as a partner, his personality is a bit too good. He can also constantly fine-tune his daily posture and small movements according to Ling's wishes and preferences. Under such specialized and targeted circumstances, Ling's fall is actually only a matter of time.

Ling was of course aware of Valerian's changes over the years, from the somewhat cold boss at the beginning to the gentle wife with a little temptation and teasing now, which made it increasingly difficult for him to ignore the gaze at the side of him.

The rational defense line that he had maintained in the past was gradually broken by instinct and emotion. He began to understand the brother next door and started to plan for his future life, such as what kind of house they would live in after they were together, what style of furniture they would buy, and what happy and enjoyable things they would do in their daily lives.

It turns out that in some ways, mechanical lifeforms make better companions than regular humans.

They have no obvious flaws in their appearance and are always young and beautiful. She can slowly change her behavior according to your habits and personality to make the lives of two people fit perfectly. She always cares about everything about you, and your status is like her always-on background process that she will not ignore.

In addition, mechanical life has no impulse or need to cheat. To them, this is a useless and incomprehensible behavior that will only interfere with the existing mission progress. In terms of loyalty, mechanical life makes people feel extremely reassured.

Now that you have a partner like this who perfectly matches your aesthetic, is in sync with your life, gets along well with you, and will never betray you, what else do you need to worry about?

"Having said that, there are still many ethical and philosophical issues." A guest at the scene discussed in a low voice.

"If we regard machine life as a human of equal status, can she become a mother? If she becomes a mother, then the human being as the child must acknowledge the machine life as the mother and accept its jurisdiction and teachings."

"Also, what arrangements should be made for her after her partner dies, should she be allowed to remarry, or must she remain single until the end of her life, etc."

"The morality of human society cannot be completely imposed on mechanical life. Society still needs to constantly adjust and adapt to these things."

"However, it is foreseeable that in the future, the vast majority of humans will choose machine life as their life partner, because compared to ordinary humans, machine life has too many advantages, and morality and ethics alone can no longer restrain and hinder them."

As the wedding vows progressed, the noisy voices below gradually quieted down and everyone's eyes were focused on the stage.

"Please exchange the life-contract rings now," the host announced.

Afterwards, a pair of special silver rings were suspended between the two people. The two rings can be connected to each other, allowing each other to sense the situation of the other half at any time. The life-contract ring has a certain restraining ability on the personality logic code of the mechanical life, making it impossible to make large-scale changes. And every time the personality is fine-tuned to a certain extent, the partner can also sense it.

This function is designed to prevent certain accidents from causing the mechanical life to suddenly change its temperament, and to ensure that the mechanical life as a partner has a stable and safe personality.

Ling picked up one of the silver rose leaf rings and carefully put it on the other person. As the ring was embedded, thin silver lines spread along the other person's body, turning into some kind of data wall and defense measure, embedded in Valerian's personality code.

"Well, is this the feeling of a contract being concluded?" Valerian closed his eyes and felt it, then opened his expectant blue eyes.

She picked up another ring and put it on Ling. Then, waves of silver threads spread across Ling's body, allowing Valerian to sense his physical condition.

"Ling stayed up late again last night. Wasn't she able to sleep?" She smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, her eyes filled with unquenchable joy.

Has this day finally come? She wrapped her arms around the other person's body, slowly hugged him, and wanted to give him a kiss.

"The teeth are too dazzling~" The audience in the audience couldn't stand the scene of the two kissing.

"We are still single and can't bear to see these loving scenes."

Then, the wedding march sounded again and the whole scene turned into a sea of ​​joy.

--------

Sigma Mechanical Council, Mastermind Matrix S-85. This is a magnificent building standing in the center of the city, shaped like a flat hexagonal flying saucer, supported by a volcanic base, overlooking the entire area.

On the 128th floor, the outer hall is on the side of the hexagonal flying saucer shape. The side of the hall is dark gold transparent metal glass, through which you can see the sky and the earth. On the other side is a wide corridor, with occasional simple rectangular rest areas.

Tilan and Xia Lan walked side by side in the corridor. They occasionally stopped to look at the scenery and talked about their communication over the years.

"There are many humans who have married mechanical life forms now." Xia Lan looked at Tilan with a little pride, talking about the recent situation.

"Yes." Tilan did not refute, but felt that Xia Lan, as the mastermind, was naive and romantic, which was very interesting.

"The marriage situation in the Federation is not so good now." She was not completely ignorant of the situation in the Federation, and she could often find out through the Aijieka network.

"Maybe people nowadays don't need marriage that much anymore." Xia Lan analyzed thoughtfully.

"In ancient times, living alone would face many risks, and there was also a biological instinct to reproduce, so the marriage system was born."

"People who live in cities normally don't face life-and-death crises every day. In addition, the convenience of various conditions has greatly reduced the cost of living alone, so even if you live alone, you can still live easily and happily."

"In ancient times, just cooking with firewood would take a lot of time. Cooking together as a family can save the most time and energy."

"Otherwise, you have to prepare a lot of dry firewood and light the fire every day, which takes a lot of time and energy."

"In addition, many self-disciplined units can also provide care for sick people, and it is not necessary for the next generation to fill in the gaps."

"The only problem left is loneliness and solitude." Tilan sighed.

“Humans naturally desire understanding and recognition, and they also want the company of their own kind. In addition, their own kind can also correct themselves. Without the reflection and comparison of a mirror, it is difficult for people to discover the differences and distinctions in themselves.”

The two talked about the possible forms of marriage for humans in the future, and then the topic slowly shifted to another topic.

"There has been great progress in the technology of changing one's form through supernatural powers." Xia Lan began to talk.

"Tilan should have seen the Gray Feather species among the new races. They have a certain ability to change their form. They can sleep for a long time through hibernation behavior, and can also use it to repair their own limb defects."

"In addition, the electric signal communication ability of the electric medullary species has also been successfully reproduced in experiments."

"This is a very special invention that allows humans to communicate information directly using electrical signals, just like mechanical life."

"If this technology matures, it can greatly enhance the capabilities of civilized individuals and further narrow the gap between humans and machine life."

"However, according to the current experimental results, if you engage in high-intensity thinking activities, the heat dissipation of the human brain may not be enough. You need to improve your own extraordinary level to provide the hardware conditions."

"The Spirit Sequence did a great job. They used the Transcendent Core as a central processing unit and solved many computing problems."

"In addition, we are also studying the issue of the illusion species possessing seven-color vision that you mentioned, Tilan. In fact, this is an extremely powerful ability, even surpassing us mechanical life forms in the field of observing the world." Xia Lan said as she lightly lifted her long hair with her fingers, her eyes fixed on the earth in the distance.

"Machine life forms use more light and shadow observation, and some special mysterious perceptions, as well as the perception of 'artistic conception' created by the collaboration of multiple senses. This is much worse than humans."

Tilan did not blindly deny the new races of the Fifth Era. You could say that the Dark Sun took the wrong path, but the birth of these new races also reflects humanity's exploration of its future form at the end of the Fourth Era. They all have their own strengths, which enables humanity to gain a stronger advantage in the vast universe.

"If we can integrate their strengths, it will broaden the future of mankind."

In the early days of life on Earth, life on Earth could only live in a specific environment, such as a small range of just the right temperature, humidity, nutrition, pH, etc. As life continued to evolve, the environmental range to which they could adapt was also expanding. Despite the assistance of various external tools, human beings' own fragility still limits the application of many technologies.

Ordinary people who have not practiced the extraordinary sequence can only withstand a maximum of ten gravitational accelerations before reaching the critical point, but the speed of aircraft is getting faster and faster, and high-level combat will place higher and higher demands on physical conditions.

The improvement of the social system ultimately has its limits and ceiling. If we don't create a stronger foundation and conditions, we can't build magnificent buildings on it. Tilan came to the Sigma Mechanical Council to communicate and negotiate with them to discuss the foundation changes of human civilization.

"As for us, the Mechanical Council, what we want is the possibility of switching between human and mechanical life." Xia Lan leaned lightly on the guardrail, overlooking the bustling city below.

"We cannot find the reason and support for our existence in the empty universe, but humans do. If one day mechanical life can be transformed into consciousness flowing in flesh and blood, even if this transformation involves certain damage and changes, we can break away from the state of castles in the air and get in touch with the most solid earth, thus transforming into a truly complete civilization."

“When the desire for life is born, the driving force for everything will be generated continuously.”

The two stood side by side quietly, thinking about the foreseeable future scenes.

"But." Xia Lan changed her tone and looked towards the black-haired girl beside her.

"If Tilan wants to promote it in the Federation, it will be very difficult. First of all, regarding gene editing, it violates the Federal Constitution. There are also various other ongoing projects that are breaking the order left by Isanissa."

"And according to your idea, in the future civilization, the status of singers will also be greatly reduced, and they will only be people with special talents."

"Yes, isn't this good?" Tilan stretched out her finger and lightly touched the space in front of her. Then a circle formed, and the cool summer breeze from the outside sky overflowed from it.

"Just rely on and wait."

“When will humans become their own heroes?”

The gentle breeze blew, and the girl's face and hair blended into the blue sky background behind her.
