Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

"Be prepared for impact, I'm going to move [back to base]."

[Prime Minister]: "As you wish. Estimated time: 1 hour and 17 minutes."

Gawain brought Lokixi down to the ground, and following her curious gaze, he introduced various messy instruments to her.

Luo Qixi was puzzled:

"What do you mean by returning to base? Gawain, you said the Prime Minister was online a long time ago, right? Has it been busy with this all along?"

In Loki's simple understanding, strong artificial intelligence is probably the same as the elves of the Ankylosaur King, but it is mainly based on interstellar technology that is different from magical technology.

Gawain had nothing to hide from her:

"Over the years, the Prime Minister has been following my orders, devoting over 90% of his computing power to the construction of the [Inter-Galactic Teleportation Device] and the analysis of the faulty transmission mechanism. The former only needs the energy source to be completed, and the analysis of the latter is already 87.56%. Combining the two, I will be able to leave the human world."

Luo Qixi tugged at the corner of his clothes:

"Don't leave."

Gao Wen pinched her chubby little face helplessly:

"It's better to be prepared. Later, I plan to incorporate the theory of teleportation magic from the human world. If we work backwards from the actual practice, I think we can achieve directional teleportation across the stars? Maybe even across time and space."

Trans-temporal technology wasn't new to the Vitrum civilization, but it lacked practical value. This kind of technology was more useful to individuals. Furthermore, the main universe possessed a theory of parallel worlds. Trans-temporal technology couldn't change history, but only create new possibilities. Of course, Gawain had no idea what this little garden was like.

Human civilization was still so early in its development that even literary works with themes spanning time were still in their infancy, or even in their seed stage. Luo Qixi's understanding of these elements came almost entirely from Rudy's stories, and the stories told by that jerk Rudy rarely had happy endings, which made Luo Qixi react almost reflexively:

"No crossing of time and space!!!"

Gawain nodded:

"This kind of thing isn't something we should try lightly without thorough verification. We need to at least perfect the theory. Furthermore, the human world is too small. I'm worried that activating this machine will cause the entire small garden to collapse."

The [box garden] he mentioned was actually a small universe created by a super civilization, most of which existed like a testing ground. And according to Gawain's standards, the [human world] was obviously an unused semi-finished product whose creator had died.

Luo Qixi looked at the huge instrument from afar, the corner of her mouth twitching:

"Is this some kind of world-destroying device? You really are the cancer of the world!"

Gao Wen had already thought about it:

"So we have to move out as much as possible before we start the process. If the human world is a strictly sealed [small garden], then this place won't even last until the teleportation device is activated before it's sucked to ashes by the vacuum zero-point energy extraction device."

"Your cosmic civilization."

"Yeah, I also think that based on the moral standards of surface civilization, we are a bit too rebellious."

"Not some."

Gao Wen continued to explain with a smile:

"Once we move the [Return Base] to Academy City, I intend to begin expanding our computing power as much as possible. I intend to hand over most of the scientific research projects that will be useful to us, including the analysis of the faulty transmission mechanism, to the [Prime Minister]. Beyond that, the [Prime Minister] will be responsible for leading the operation and management of Academy City, as well as the expansion and development of our forces."

Luo Qixi is worried:

“Can we entrust it with so many crucial matters?”

Gao Wen understood her hidden worries:

"Don't worry about an omnic rebellion. While the various races of the Human Realm, the Vitrumians, and advanced AI all possess minds and intellect, compared to the differences between them and advanced AI, the Vitrumians can even be considered to have similar comprehensive abilities to those of the Human Realm. The differences between us are so vast that your understanding of advanced AI is more like trying to empathize with a stone or a drop of water."

"In short, the Prime Minister will not rebel, nor will he make a decision saying, 'I think this is better, so it doesn't count as rebellion.' After all, to him, none of this makes any difference."

Prime Minister: "Yes, Ms. Luo Qixi, you don't have to worry. Just like I have given the Emperor's son advice regarding you based on the user agreement, I will not actually take any action to prevent him from falling in love with you, or even from having a mixed-blood child."

Luo Qixi blushed and looked around:

"What practical action?"

She thinks it's probably about explaining things with reason and expressing emotions, right?

[Prime Minister]: "For example, creating a genetic virus to kill you silently, or launching a wide-area subsonic missile to instantly destroy all of your body cells."

Luo Qixi blushed:

"Please don't say such horrible things!"

Gao Wen sneered with some pride:

"[Prime Minister] Your emotional intelligence is quite low. Such remarks will only be regarded as threats by the people of the Human Realm."

[Prime Minister]: "Please provide sufficient samples to calculate the [High Emotional Intelligence Personality Template - Universal Human Version]."

Gawain hugged the sulking Lokisi:

"When you move into a new house, you can do it yourself. It can be whatever you like."

There's no way he could produce any samples of this kind.

Chapter 12: Insulting the Domain God

Chapter 12 Insult

Luo Qixi was not angry for long, and she became interested in the few metal blocks in the return base that were not embedded in the base.

"what is this?"

“Standard Engineering Template.”

"Speak human, idiot! You don't know that I don't understand your Vitrum technology at all, just like I didn't understand what the Prime Minister said about sound waves."

"Then what are you afraid of?"

"fear death."

"It's a good habit. Let's get back to the point. You can think of the Standard Engineering Template as a universal device capable of omnipotent construction. It's the sum total of the Vettrum people's related technologies. With rigorous and precise design, they can, in most planetary environments, create a tool with the power of a single organism capable of draining the resources of an entire solar system."

"Isn't this too amazing? A fairy tale?"

Luo Qixi stroked the metal surface of the cube standard engineering template as if she were stroking a baby.

Gao Wen corrected:

"It means omnipotence for the Vitrum people. For example, our standard engineering templates only include emergency medical and emergency life support equipment. We generally rely on self-healing for the rest. For another example, there are very few options for interstellar spacecraft, after all, we fly faster. Let alone environmental modification equipment, we even have only a few types of protective clothing limited to special environments."

"I'm going to sue you for racial discrimination, okay?"

Gawain shrugged.

"Anyway, in the habitable environment of the Human Realm, this thing is more than sufficient. Incidentally, the Zaifu's main body, my incubator, is a specially designed standard construction template for civilization continuation. It integrates interstellar spaceflight capabilities, medical and life-support functions, standard engineering modules, and a standard construction template database for civilization continuation. Commonly known as a think tank, it stores the vast majority of the technology and knowledge of the Vitrum civilization and possesses near-complete replication capabilities. With just the Zaifu and I working together, we can build another mother planet in another galaxy."

"Why not rebuild civilization?"

"I can't reproduce myself, idiot."

"Humph."

Luo Qixi didn't feel that she was being singled out as a country bumpkin. If Gawain was a descendant of a god or a prince of an empire, she would definitely feel that she was not worthy of Gawain from time to time. But the interstellar empire, even if it was right in front of her, was almost like listening to a story and had no sense of reality at all.

"So, Gawain, you're planning to use these things to build Academy City? Just like we use magic to print houses?"

Gawain touched his chin:

"I've got an idea. If we can solve the problem of the source of mana, a standard engineering template for the human world's mana magic version would be very promising. It might even be more convenient. However, that's not the case, huh? If we don't provide them with basic building materials and energy, they'll start by mining and refining basic materials and building energy centers."

He pointed to a corner of the base:

"That big lump is a cold fusion reactor, a relatively simple and primitive energy core, but it is relatively easy to use to maintain human-scale transformation."

Luo Qixi hit the nail on the head:

"Will it explode?"

"Yes, but it won't penetrate the outer layer of the base."

"That doesn't matter."

Luo Qixi is becoming more and more carefree, although she is not a meticulous person to begin with, this can probably be regarded as releasing her true nature.

Soon, Luo Qixi finished touring the entire return base. She turned around with her hands behind her back and looked at Gawain with a grin:

"So, Gawain, is there anything you can do for me?"

Gao Wen crossed his arms and shook his head regretfully:

"It's just sightseeing, you're of no use, Lokishi."

Luo Qixi was gradually mastering the use of the new version of Gawain, so she was not easily annoyed. She just quietly added a line to Gawain's special edition of the Book of Hatred:

"Hehe, if you just took me out to play, you wouldn't have this attitude this time."

Gao Wen calmly recorded this in his improvement plan and admitted:

"Okay, okay. After we move the forward base, I need your help in setting up the trap, Luo Qixi."

Luo Qixi thought for a moment and figured it out:

"Trick the Human God's Apostle? Exactly. If He had been keeping an eye on you, He would surely have known about the Forward Base's existence. The noise you made moving the Forward Base wouldn't have been hidden from the Human God. He would have probably sent someone to investigate, right?"

Master Luo Qixi immediately turned his little brain, which was obviously not sinister enough:

"But how can we trick him? If we simply kill him, the Human God won't suffer much loss, right? Build a fake base and provide him with false intelligence? The Human God wouldn't be that stupid, would he?"

Gao Wen said frankly:

"That's why I'm asking you to find a solution."

He was clearly not an expert at this. Even his torture techniques were inferior to those of the natives, and his standards of exploitation were higher than the respectable standards of citizens in the cities of the Asura Kingdom. Of course, Roxy wasn't either, but as a veteran adventurer, she was at least well-informed.

Soon, Luo Qixi had an inspiration:

"To target the Human God, the only way to start is through His vision of the future, right? He can see the apostles' futures in real time, so wouldn't it be better to let Him see a bad future? However, we need to make the apostles' future suddenly become bad."

The power of the human god is clearly limited. Otherwise, He could easily target an apostle and have them do different things, without actually doing them. As long as the apostle intends to do something, the corresponding result will be immediately achieved. He could even simply imagine that He intends to let the apostle conduct trial and error, and the result would be achieved directly. But this is obviously impossible.

Gawain understood.

He immediately ordered:

"Prime Minister, build a knowledge transfer device, fill it with gibberish, and set it to automatically destroy after the transfer is complete. Activate the highest level of technical anti-leakage measures."

This device can directly instill knowledge and memory into the brain. Since it only uses the brain as a database, not as a means of understanding and applying it, it doesn't have much practical value. However, during the indoctrination process, the content is forcibly replayed in the user's mind. Even for a Vitrumian, it's like playing a movie at a thousand times speed. Naturally, humans in the human realm can't understand it, but humans and gods are certainly different.

That guy would be locked up by the apostles like in prison, and forced to watch garbled knowledge. According to the average brain capacity of people in the human world, he would be fed millions of GB of garbled code in a short period of time, and repeatedly deleted and input until the apostle's brain damage exceeded the range of healing magic. Generally speaking, at least hundreds of millions of GB of answers could be crammed into the memory of the human god.

There is probably no actual harm, but it is extremely insulting.

After Gawain explained the principle to Lokisi, he gave her a thumbs-up:

"Luo Qixi, you are simply insulting the domain god."

The blue dwarf easily gets carried away when praised. She doesn't mind her unpleasant name at all, and decisively continues to add to Gawain's half-finished idea, for example, adding truly disgusting things and various brainwashing cycles.

Two people will meet a good person.

The prime minister built four machines in a row, which were transformed by the two into fully automatic torture machines that could capture, treat, brainwash and trap enemies.

Luo Qixi wiped the sweat off her face:

"It's a pity that it can only be used this once."

Gao Wen even thought she was a bit extreme.

Chapter 13: Fight! Rudeus

Chapter 13 Start of Construction

The anti-impact measures of the forward base had naturally been completed long ago. Gawain and Lokisi used magic to clear the soil above the forward base. Gawain lifted the forward base and temporarily placed it on the ground, and then he and Lokisi couldn't wait to transform the old site of the forward base.

They left reluctantly only after the transformation was completed. By the way, long-distance monitoring equipment was also installed in the fake base.

According to Orsted, the human god cannot easily replace the apostles, so if the living apostles can be captured, they can bring new and endless surprises to the human god!

I can’t kill you, but can’t I collect some interest?

Twenty-two kilometers outside of New Sharia City, Lokisi commanded Gawain to drop off the return base.

With this place as the center and the edge of old Shalia City as the radius, the area with a total diameter of nearly 50 kilometers is the actual urban area of ​​the first phase of the future [Academy City].

It is expected to absorb over 10 million registered residents within ten years.

In fact, Gawain was already considering the issue of family planning. Even with the Asura Kingdom's relatively low birth rate compared to the human world, averaging six children per couple, New Shalia's population of ten million would swell to ten billion within five generations. After all, as long as technology was properly advanced and utilized, life expectancy, reproductive safety, premature mortality, and food shortages would not be issues, and the population would increase at a near-ideal rate.

According to the tradition of the Vitrum Empire, less valuable species would be restricted from having children after reaching the target population, forcibly controlling the population size and generational change to a stable state. Valuable species would be ordered to breed as much as possible through eugenics, as there would always be space for them.
