Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Shen Yun approached Karen, reached out and disconnected the wires from the android's head, and asked:

"How does it feel?"

Karen stood up from the ground and began to move her body freely.

"It's wonderful to feel my body!"

As she spoke, she looked at her black and white mechanical body, and then at Shen Yun in front of her.

Then, her appearance began to change constantly.

In the end, Karen's appearance was frozen in his memory of Karen.

"This is an appearance I designed based on a large amount of human facial data. By human aesthetic standards, I should be quite cute now, right?" Karen tilted her head, looked at Shen Yun, and said in an uncertain tone.

Seeing Karen's bewildered expression, Shen Yun coughed twice and nodded, saying:

"Yes, she is indeed very cute."

"Thank you for the compliment." Karen smiled happily.

Then, she looked slightly puzzled and said, "It's strange, I think I can sense the chemical molecules in the air."

"Chemical molecules? You mean, being able to smell the odors in the air, right?"

"Yes." Karen nodded.

"This is the artificial sense of smell that this humanoid robot possesses. In addition, this humanoid robot also has artificial sense of touch, artificial sense of taste, and a biochemical stomach that can convert bioenergy into electrical energy," Shen Yun explained with a slight smile.

Normally, humanoid robots certainly don't have these functions.

However, the android that forms Kallen's body was custom-made by him, so he naturally added everything he could.

Even the skin, which resembles human skin, has the feel of real skin.

Of course, some unusual features are missing.

"By the way, what are your plans for the future?" Shen Yun suddenly asked.

"What are your plans next?" Karen looked blank, then shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"Don't know? Then why don't you come with me? My house is quite big." Shen Yun tentatively extended an invitation.

"Okay." Karen thought for a moment and then agreed.

After saying that, Karen suddenly turned around and looked at the computer she used to be sitting on.

"What's wrong?" Shen Yun asked, noticing Karen's unusual behavior.

"I think I can still control my original body." Karen answered Shen Yun's question, and then suddenly put one hand to her ear and raised the other hand, pointing it at the old computer in front of her.

The computer started running on its own, and many windows popped up on the screen.

These windows are covered with dense lines of code.

Karen appears to be testing her control over the computer.

Seeing this, Shen Yun couldn't help but stroke his chin.

Is this a distributed network in a neural network computer?

The body in which Karen's consciousness resides is equivalent to her core brain. Any other computer that she connects to will become part of her neural network and be under her control.

Distributed networks, artificial neural networks, and ultra-large-scale integration technologies, plus the self-awareness of artificial intelligence.

No wonder Kallen was able to turn into a monster later on.

That's really impressive.

After the experiment ended, Karen looked at Shen Yun and asked, "Could you take my original body with you as well?"

"Of course," Shen Yun readily agreed.

After all, this isn't an excessive request. With TPC's capabilities, maintaining a computer shouldn't be too difficult.

Moreover, this computer also has certain research value.

He had looked at Karen's related projects, and the information there outlined three directions for the development of biological computers.

One of them is the neural network computer.

At the time, the research team developing biocomputers believed that with current technology, it was still a long way from developing a true biochip. They believed that using the biological principles of neural networks and ultra-large-scale integration technology to develop intelligent computers could be the first step towards biocomputers.

Karen is an intelligent computer developed using artificial neural network algorithms, a type of biomimetic algorithm.

Secondly, there is the optical neural computer.

Thirdly, it is a purely biochip machine.

Currently, the most challenging area of ​​research is still the development of pure biochips.

However, it is quite incredible that such a neural network intelligent computer, which mimics the human brain, could give birth to an artificial intelligence with self-awareness like Karen.

Shen Yun contacted TPC's logistics department through PDI and entrusted them with the task of moving the computer back to TPC.

He then led Karen away from the abandoned research institute.

Karen, leaving the laboratory for the first time, found everything outside fascinating.

Although her original body also contained many photos and videos that helped her understand the human world.

But how can photos and videos compare to seeing something with your own eyes?

"Is this your car?" Karen asked as she approached the car parked in front of the research institute.

"It's my car, what's wrong with it?"

"Can I drive?" Karen asked, somewhat eager to try.

Now that she has a body, she wants to try everything she sees.

"Can you drive?"

"No, but I can learn. It won't take long."

"Then I'll send you the tutorial." Shen Yun smiled and opened PDI to send the relevant car driving tutorial to Karen.

Karen received the tutorial sent by Shen Yun, and after just a blink, she spoke:

"I learned."

Shen Yun was slightly surprised upon hearing this, and said with a smile, "Then you can drive."

Karen nodded, opened the car door, and sat in the driver's seat without hesitation.

Shen Yun sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and watched Karen operate the controls.

Karen's movements were very standard, exactly the same as the tutorial he sent over.

It might even omit some unnecessary steps, just like humans do.

"I can only say that it truly lives up to its reputation as artificial intelligence; its learning ability is astonishing," Shen Yun thought to himself.

With Karen's abilities, she's more than capable of being his assistant.

Karen drove her car away from the new town under construction and into the bustling metropolis.

Looking at the bustling city outside, Karen's eyes were filled with curiosity.

"This is what a human city looks like? It's completely different from what you see in photos and videos."

"Want to go for a walk?" Shen Yun asked.

"Is that okay?" Karen asked, somewhat surprised.

"Of course, I don't have anything urgent to do right now, so hanging out with friends is no big deal." Shen Yun smiled slightly. He certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity to win someone's favor.

"That's great! Thank you, Shen Jun." Karen cheered immediately, then asked, "Is it okay if I address you like that? The information says that's how close friends between humans address each other."

"no problem."

"That's good." Karen smiled brightly and parked the car in a nearby parking lot.

Then, he couldn't wait to unbuckle his seatbelt and jump out of the car, turning back every now and then to urge Shen Yun on.

"Shen Jun, hurry up!"

Shen Yun smiled helplessly and quickly walked to Karen's side.

This is a relatively bustling commercial street in the metropolis.

Because it was the weekend, there were many tourists on the street.

Karen looked around the bustling commercial center, and everything here seemed new and exciting to her.

"Is this a human clothing store?" Kallen arrived in front of a clothing store and cast a curious glance inside.

"Want to go in and take a look?" Shen Yun asked with a smile as he approached Karen.

Karen thought for a moment and said, "Trade between humans requires a currency called money. I don't have any money, and if I go in, I'll be kicked out. So, it's better not to go in."

Shen Yun was taken aback for a moment, then asked with a puzzled look, "Where did you learn this strange knowledge?"

"I learned it from videos that humans call movies. If you go to a store and don't buy anything, the shopkeeper will kick you out," Karen honestly answered Shen Yun's question.

"..." Shen Yun.

"That's a lie. If you just go in to take a look, you won't be kicked out," Shen Yun explained.

"Is that so?" Karen tilted her head, looking puzzled.

"Yes."

"Alright then. Let's go in and take a look." Karen nodded; she trusted Shen Yun more than what she saw in the movies.
