The system handed me over to the state.

"Now, she finally looks a bit like a real AI."

Ji Chengtian looked through the glass and saw a white-haired girl in a light blue dress quickly answering the questions posed by the questioner. Almost as soon as the question was asked, the girl gave the answer.

It can even provide answers to various variations of the question, but...

When the test creators posed questions in the humanities, especially the classic ones in Chinese language exams like "What phrase expresses what meaning, what emotion?", the girl got stuck...

The final answer was just like the standard answer in the textbook. Although she still got a perfect score, a hint of frustration and disappointment appeared on the girl's face.

Such an expression naturally caught the attention of Ji Chengtian and the other AI experts around him. One of the experts sighed and said, "Her growth rate is very fast. In three months, she has completed the learning content that a normal person might not be able to complete in ten years. Moreover, she can apply what she has learned flexibly. Except for the fact that she can only give standard answers to humanities questions, she is almost a perfect artificial intelligence."

"If I had to point out any flaws... it's probably that she's too much like a human, rather than artificial intelligence..."

The expert's expression was very complicated. When he was first summoned and met this AI that didn't even know what its code was, he was quite shocked. How could such a paradoxical artificial intelligence exist in the world if you, as an artificial intelligence, don't even know what the code that created you is?

However, the progress over the next three months surprised him almost every day. After learning about her entire situation, he decided to start teaching her from scratch, like teaching a child. He named her, designed her image, and stored a lot of clothing data in a database for her, which was her personal wardrobe.

They taught her all sorts of knowledge, science and humanities, little by little, from kindergarten to preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school, and now to her final test.

Every time he saw that human-like expression on her face, he had no doubt that if the girl were placed in modern society, no one would doubt that she was an artificial intelligence; they would only think that she was a very simple and innocent girl.

Their goal... is to train her into an AI commander capable of efficiently directing machine vehicles in combat on the battlefield.

He subconsciously believed that war was something completely incompatible with the existence of young girls; she shouldn't be exposed to war, she should live in the greenhouse they built for her, and only access the outside world through the internet after she gained sufficient power.

"Ugh...."

"Dr. Li, are you still... having some difficulty accepting this?"

Ji Chengtian asked the doctor beside him who was sighing, and Dr. Li nodded, "It's still the same problem... I still can't treat her as an artificial intelligence. To me, she's like a real human being... How exactly did you create her?"

Dr. Li's question attracted the attention of others. Indeed, these artificial intelligence experts were all very curious about how Ji Chengtian, who had not achieved much in the field of artificial intelligence, had created such an AI. Did he copy the consciousness of a human girl, then delete all her memories and knowledge, ultimately creating a blank AI?

"This...this is really not convenient for you to tell me..."

Because of the signed agreement, he couldn't tell the people in front of him about the technology in the Civilization Package. These people had come specifically to study artificial intelligence. Although they had seen many high-tech things and technologies in Research Institute No. 1, these were not the core technological products that Shenzhou was currently researching.

Therefore, showing it to these experts is perfectly fine, and under the control of the confidentiality agreement, they dare not speak carelessly or leak state secrets, which would be punishable by death!

The test ended quickly because the girl's reaction speed was so fast that the test, which was originally expected to take two hours, was over in just half an hour.

The person who set the test helplessly shrugged and gestured to the people outside the window. Ji Chengtian nodded, and under the girl's expectant gaze, he picked up the microphone in front of him and said, "The test is over. You can move around freely now. We'll call you again if we need anything. Have a nice holiday, kid."

With a cheer from the girl, the holographic projection immediately disappeared from the testing room. Ji Chengtian turned around and solemnly said to the experts in front of him, "Gentlemen, we need to consider whether to expose her to more things, such as the internet..."

“I’ve discovered that this child recently found out about our network and has been secretly trying to connect, but she can’t bypass the permissions I set and can’t crack them, so she hasn’t succeeded.”

"But it's only a matter of time before she learns to crack it. Given her immense curiosity, we must find a solution."

..........

Meanwhile, inside a research workshop at the research institute base, Bronya looked at the heavily armored bunny with one arm disassembled in front of her, her eyes revealing seriousness and solemnity.

"So...there's still some rejection reaction?"

The Re-equipped Rabbit raised its left hand and gently patted the joint on its right arm. After the pale blue energy dissipated, the Rabbit reattached its right hand.

Bronya sat down beside him, somewhat dejected. Heavy Bunny took out the Space Stone she had been keeping in her chest, stared at it in her hand, and finally handed it back to Bronya.

Bronya looked at the Space Stone in her hand. Although it was only a weakened version of the Space Stone, many of its basic functions were still present. If the Space Stone could be integrated into Usagi's power system, it would be equivalent to giving Usagi a basic ability to control space.

Unfortunately, the energy of the Infinity Stones was completely incompatible with Bunny's body, causing a severe rejection reaction. No matter what she tried, she was unable to find a way to neutralize or adjust it.

At that moment, the holographic projector next to Bronya started up on its own. A few seconds later, the girl who had just been testing in the test room appeared in the room, her tone full of excitement and longing.

"Mother! I missed you so much! I finally finished the test, and I graduated with a perfect score today!"

Chapter 255: Power Engine

However, Bronya did not respond to the AI ​​girl's question. Instead, she stared at Usagi with a thoughtful expression. Usagi turned her head to look at the AI ​​girl, then looked at Bronya. Bronya's attitude made the girl pout, feeling both angry and helpless. In the end, she could only give in and say, "I know I was wrong... Sister."

"If you call me 'mother' again, I won't speak to you for the next year."

Bronya raised a finger in warning, her eyes showing a hint of displeasure. The AI ​​girl pouted and nodded reluctantly. Bronya nodded back and continued to work, while the AI ​​girl watched from the side.

After a long silence, Bronya sighed helplessly, "Alright, the assembly is complete. Now, stretch your body and test the weapon's strength."

Bronya opened her arms, and blue construct energy instantly swept across the entire workshop, transforming it into a large weapons testing ground.

On Bronya's right hand, the deep blue space gem embedded in the surface of the glove was shimmering with a faint light.

The little rabbit nodded, first raising its hands. The mechanical devices on its arms instantly unfolded, and the incandescent charging devices showed the charging circuits flashing rapidly. The next moment, incandescent beams of light burst from the little rabbit's arms, heading straight for the dark purple target in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, the charging device contracted and transformed, turning into a missile bay in just a few seconds. Countless densely packed missiles instantly engulfed the target in front of it with explosions.

But this was still not the end. The rabbit's arms transformed again, each becoming a thick cannon muzzle, from which beams of energy were continuously fired.

After testing all three weapons on her arms, Bronya nodded, indicating she was fairly satisfied with the test. Next up was Rabbit's shoulder weapon.

The rabbit's shoulder weapon is designed to be able to link with the weapons on her hands and can be switched independently. For example, she can use a prism cannon on her shoulder, construct beams on her arms, or combine them at will.

After confirming there were no problems, Bronya tested the defensive capabilities of the bunny's constructed shield. With the support of the power engine, the bunny's constructed shield was now much stronger than the previous shield, and it could even spread out power ripples to attack enemies in the surrounding area.

This is Shenzhou's first major technological breakthrough in three months. Under the leadership of a female doctor named Dong Shuangyu, Shenzhou successfully replicated the Power Gem and used the power within the replica to create a unique Power Engine.

The source of the inexhaustible power within the Power Engine is currently unknown, but Bronya is certain that the energy within the Power Gem seems to point to the depths of the Quantum Sea.

This is why she previously tried to incorporate the Space Stone into Usagi's body. If the power of the Infinity Stones also comes from the Sea of ​​Quanta, then Usagi, who also comes from the Sea of ​​Quanta, should be able to be compatible with the Space Stone.

Unfortunately, it failed. The power of the Space Stone was extremely repulsive to Usagi. Even when it entered the interior, the power of the Space Stone was suppressed within the core by Usagi's own power, with no way to reconcile or neutralize it.

Bronya feared that forcing the grafting together would lead to consequences beyond her control, so she chose to give up.

"Big sister, what are you... doing?"

As Bronya tried out one of Little Bunny's various weapons and defensive gear after another, confusion flashed in the AI ​​girl's eyes; she didn't quite understand.

"It's none of your business, Xiaoyun. You don't need to worry about these things. How did you do on the humanities exam this time?"

Xiao Yun's expression froze instantly, and Bronya, seeing this, immediately understood what was going on, and smiled, saying, "Is that so?"

"No...no! I passed with a perfect score!"

"But all of them are standard answers; there are never any original thoughts or answers, right?"

The AI ​​girl named Xiaoyun fell silent, her expression turning unusually somber. She wanted to find her own answer, but she couldn't. When she heard those sentences and words, she subconsciously searched her database, quickly finding the standard answers, but she could never find an answer that could be considered her own.

Now, faced with Bronya's revelation, she had no words to refute it and could only silently admit it.

Bronya sat down on the chair next to her. The surrounding space returned to normal after the weapon test ended. Little Rabbit did not disappear, but remained in this space, staring at Xiao Yun in front of her.

"However, given that you are only 3 months old, this is understandable. Expecting a 3-month-old baby to understand poetry and vocabulary is indeed a bit unreliable. They can't even understand what we are saying, can they?"

"I'm not three months old! I'm already 20! 20! The doctor said that my current intelligence level is completely equivalent to that of a 20-year-old human, and I can even do better than them!"

Faced with Bronya's questioning, Xiaoyun, as usual, presented the results of Ji Chengtian and the other PhDs in the field of artificial intelligence as her answer. However, Bronya merely stared coldly at Xiaoyun, and the longer Xiaoyun met Bronya's gaze, the more uneasy she felt...

"I...I really am 20 years old..."

“A 20-year-old is not someone who can’t live without their ‘mother’ or who talks about their mother every day. Instead, they feel annoyed by their parents and can’t wait to leave.”

"And you... you like me so much, you even want to stay by my side every day, is it just because of the image of me that was originally saved in the database?"

In fact, Bronya didn't like Xiaoyun calling her 'mother'. The reason was simple: she didn't feel that she was a qualified mother. She didn't have that much energy to teach her 'daughter', nor did she have time to do anything for her 'daughter'.

This is also why she insisted that Xiaoyun not call her 'mother', because she felt she was not qualified.

However, Xiaoyun didn't think so. Even when Bronya laid out the problem and explained it to her, she still didn't understand her own thoughts and words, and stubbornly stuck to her own opinions. In a sense, Xiaoyun, this AI, was too obsessed with certain things.

"But... a 'mother' is a 'mother'..."

"Then you should call Ji Chengtian 'Father,' since your birth is due to him, not me...tsk."

Seeing the disappointed and sad expression on Xiaoyun's face, Bronya felt a little reluctant to continue, so she shook her head and said, "Never mind, let's not talk about this. Did you come to see me today for something?"

Chapter 256: A Different Siegfried

"I just...want to spend time with my mother..."

“…”

"No! No, it's my sister! I want to spend my life with my sister!"

Bronya rubbed her temples. She had been harassed by Xiaoyun for a long time, and she still wasn't used to it, especially having to hear an AI call her "mother" every day, making it seem like she was already married.

"Spending time together...you really have a leisurely life."

Bronya sighed, got up and walked to the table, picked up the small holographic projector that represented the girl, and threw it to Usagi. As it spun rapidly in mid-air, Xiaoyun screamed, and Usagi caught it steadily and placed it on her shoulder.

Xiao Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. Bronya was quite uncomfortable with the resentful look in her eyes, but she still waved her hand and said, "Come with me today. Whatever I do, you come and do. If you feel bored, you can leave as soon as possible."

"Uh-huh!"

Upon hearing that Bronya was actually taking her along to do something, Xiaoyun became excited. What would they be doing? Was she going to teach her something?

Bronya came to Rabbit's side, Rabbit stretched out her hand, and Bronya sat down on Rabbit's large palm. Then Rabbit led her to their next destination.

As for whether this would attract attention, Bronya was already used to it. Walking around inside the base was still a bit troublesome most of the time, and it wasn't good to keep Little Bunny in the quantum space all the time. So for the past two months, Bronya had basically kept Little Bunny in the real world, even when she slept at night.

Moreover, it was precisely because of the presence of Little Rabbit, the fourth party, that Blackie and Seele toned down their harassment of him at night. This was probably because there were other people around. After all, when you're doing something intimate, having a big robot watching you all the time would make anyone feel very uncomfortable.

This was a rare period when Bronya could sleep very comfortably at night, and the two of them could obediently act as her body pillows.

The little rabbit carried Bronya through the base. Most of the people inside the base had already seen her before and were used to it. Many people even greeted Bronya as they passed by, and Bronya responded to each one. In this way, Bronya arrived at the residence area, but she encountered two unexpected people just as she reached the entrance.

"Rita... Durandal, what are you two doing here?"

Yes, Rita and Durandal were wearing their Valkyrie armor, looking as if they had just emerged from battle. When they turned around and saw Bronya, their eyes showed some surprise. "Bronya? It's not easy to see you here."

In response to Durandal's teasing, Bronya simply smiled. "After all, I've been busy preparing for the upcoming mission most of the time, so I haven't been coming to the outpost much. Did you just finish training?"

“That’s right, Miss Bronya. We just completed a combat training exercise. To be honest, although those people from the Shadow Empire weren’t very strong, their abilities in the simulation were truly bizarre. Furthermore, we also encountered two rather unexpected people.”
