In a crossover anime, do you believe that a machine spirit can defeat a fake human?

Chen Yi suddenly raised his hand and gently pushed the mouse. The cursor moved on the screen, attracting the attention of the little red robot.

The little robot stood up, reached forward, but couldn't find the mouse cursor.

It seems... they're not on the same layer.

"This is......?"

"Interest versus boredom... This is probably the first time I've tried this kind of training."

Even with the assistance of the Machine Soul, learning AI from scratch is not an easy task. As a result, Chen Yi devoted almost all of his free time to learning and overcoming technical difficulties.

An idea that had been forming in my mind for a long time was about the connection between machine spirits and AI.

The existence of the machine spirit is a certainty, but it is often like a ghost, invisible and intangible, yet you can always feel it is around you.

So Chen Yi came up with an idea: to try to build an AI, to shape the AI ​​into the body of a machine soul, so that they could master more abilities and higher efficiency.

What does this mean? What if the souls of purely mechanical structures like door locks could also possess AI as a physical body...?

PS: I'm so angry I'm about to faint from Kalapetchio!

Revisiting Izu: Chapter 230 - The Bow and Dog Combo

Chapter 230

Can you see it on the screen?

The first class on the first day of online classes was math.

An older math teacher sat in front of a computer screen, with a large bookshelf behind him displaying many works by famous authors.

For example, Carroll's work, but not Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but rather "A Fundamental Treatise on Determinants".

"Can you see it on the screen?" The math teacher adjusted the camera with some confusion when no one spoke in the live stream.

"The math teacher isn't using their microphone, is that right?" Futaba asked, noticing the math teacher's actions.

Futaba sat next to him, sharing a screen.

Since we're all in the same class, it doesn't matter if we use the same screen. It also saves us the trouble of setting up another set of equipment. The desktop computers in the studio downstairs don't have microphones or cameras.

Sakurajima took Chen Yi's notebook and, to prevent interference with each other's teaching quality, stayed in her usual bedroom.

"Maybe." Chen Yi typed a reminder.

"...And now?"

A piercing noise, mixed with indistinct words, drifted into my ears.

"..."

This wheat is fried like this; it must be about my age by now.

"...It should be much better now."

The math teacher fine-tuned the microphone settings and plugged it in and out several times before it finally returned to normal.

"Let me see... There are only thirty-odd people in the live stream. Are the rest still asleep?"

The math teacher opened the audience list and glanced at it.

These names are so varied, I can't tell them apart.

"Does anyone know each other? Could you help me see who isn't here yet?"

After waiting for a while, a few more people came in, and then class began.

......

"This thing is really hard to concentrate on..."

During lunch, Mai Sakurajima casually remarked.

“Yes, that’s true,” Rio Futaba agreed.

"I don't think you're qualified to say this. I don't see you paying much attention in class..." Chen Yi complained.

After listening for a while, the two of them unanimously decided to switch screens and go out to design new products, showing great respect for the classroom.

"So what did you guys manage to do this morning?"

"A combat-specialized humanoid improvement design is for the company area that is planned to be built later."

Chen Yi explained.

"Humanoid design?"

"Well, we have to handle our own defense. It's not reassuring if we don't have our own fighting force."

Although most security companies in this world are very contract-abiding, such as the Red Lotus Security at the Izu Hotel last time, the announcement I overheard stated that all the contracted security forces had been killed in action, and none of them had backed down.

But Chen Yi still had more faith in his own strength. Besides, they had already grown big and strong. Even if they didn't become a top-tier giant like Arasaka Koto, they should at least give United Fruit a try.

Motivated by this, Chen Yi designed one...two products based on existing humanoid technology, which were then redesigned.

"Centaurus and... Eutropus?" Mai Sakurajima looked at the phone Chen Yi handed her, her face full of confusion.

"Centaur and two-headed dog, I don't know why they're called that," Rio Futaba said, adding that she didn't know either.

Lorelei, sitting diagonally across the table, ate her meal in silence, saying nothing.

"It mainly reminded me of old friends."

Chen Yi smiled and didn't bother to explain.

The famous bow-dog combination isn't exactly strong with a gap in its strength, but it's disgusting enough to make you feel like you're choking if you swallow it.

"...So why a bow?"

"Because this is the first line of defense, a defensive design that's located on the outer perimeter," Chen Yi explained.

If the company is located in the suburbs, the issue of searching the forest area must be considered. After comprehensive consideration, a composite bow combat robot using specially made explosive arrows is quite suitable. At the same time, it can cooperate with heavy reconnaissance and strike mechanical wolves to achieve the tactical objective of stealth operation.

What? You're asking why we need to operate covertly to deal with the imposters? Who told you it was just about dealing with the imposters?

Moreover, compared to the iron-blooded humanoid robots on the market, Chen Yi's design has no competitors.

"However, the composite bow also needs to be redesigned... Most of the existing composite bows cannot match the combat effectiveness of the Centaurus."

Chen Yi needs a composite bow that weighs around 800 pounds, and the design of explosive arrows... is already on the agenda.

Naturally, it's not just about one type of arrow; Chen Yi also wants to design a guided arrow that can be fired like a small missile.

"Commander, watch out for the red line... If we don't sell, it shouldn't be a big problem." Kroos reminded him, then changed her mind halfway through her sentence.

"You can even come up with a new design by changing two parts of an existing 'humanoid' design."

Chen Yi told him to calm down, saying that this was only the beginning.

"You have another idea? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Now it was Shuangye's turn to be shocked. Is this person a genius of ideas? How come his inspiration never stops all day long?

"It's not a new idea. The current humanoid is quite perfect, isn't it? Just change the outer shell to bulletproof steel plates and then mass-produce rifles. It can't be considered a new plan."

The fire control system is built-in, so theoretically the current prototype could be used directly with a gun without any problems. The main issue is that it's too fragile and has no protection whatsoever, so a new outer shell needs to be designed.

“I see, that makes sense.” Futaba was deeply involved in the design of the 'humanoid' and naturally understood Chen Yi’s meaning immediately.

"So what about the new design? What do you plan to call it?"

"The Cyclops, I suppose."

Chen Yi, who had planned ahead, replied.

"It seems that Yi Jun really likes mythology."

Actually, it was all because of 'old friends'.

Chen Yi also wanted to get two more of the Guilty Ones, but unfortunately he didn't have the capability at the moment.

......

Fast forward to evening, and Hiratsuka-sensei took a moment to call Chen Yi.

"How was class today? I hope you weren't daydreaming."

"No, teacher, how could I be daydreaming?"

Chen Yiyi refuted him righteously.

He just kicked them off directly.

"Okay, then I believe you." Hiratsuka didn't delve into it further. After all, she had frequently called on Chen Yi to answer questions during class today, and he had answered them almost all of them, which meant that the kid was basically paying attention in class.

So what is the truth?

Don't forget that the internet is Kroos's domain; isn't it easy for her to forge Chen Yi's voice to answer on his behalf?

If Hiratsuka-sensei finds out, Chen Yi will probably get a beating.

Futaba stood to the side, lost in thought.

"Oh, right, Yi." Shuangye suddenly remembered something and gently patted Chen Yi's shoulder.

"what happened?"

Chen Yi slowed down his mouse-swinging motion and then turned to look at Rio Futaba.

"Is the site selection process complete? Which developer are you looking for?"

"I have acquaintances here," Chen Yi said, shrugging.

As the leading real estate company in Chiba, the Yukinoshita family happens to have the contact information of the two young ladies of the Yukinoshita family. I definitely have to use this connection. It doesn't matter if the price is not cheap, at least I won't be ripped off on the materials. You know what I mean?

Revisiting Izu: Chapter 231 Drawing the Bow Like a Full Moon

Chapter 231

"Moshi moshi~ Oh, it's Xiao Yi. What can I do for you?"

Yang Nai's voice on the other end was so cheeky that Chen Yi wanted to hang up after only a few seconds.

"Stop fooling around, I have something important to discuss with you."

"Oh?" Yukino Yukinoshita paused noticeably before asking.

"What is it?"

"I plan to build an industrial park and a fortress-like enterprise in Wakaba Ward, with the scale of Ironblood's headquarters."

"..."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

“This will cost a lot of money, sir.”

Yukino suddenly spoke in a London accent.

“I know, and also... it would be best if it were near a power plant.”

Chen Yi knew the other party was playing on the "million pounds" joke, so it seemed the deal was pretty much settled.

They underestimated the status of the Yukino family in the real estate industry.

"Alright, no more joking. If you're serious... when do you plan to take this building? Let's make it clear, with your requirements, it'll take at least a year and a half."

"Will adding more money speed things up? Or you can build the factory first."

We can't recruit administrative and clerical staff for the time being, so there's no rush for the office building area. However, we need to prepare for the AI ​​server room and factory area as soon as possible. We've already deployed two AI servers downstairs, and the electricity bill has visibly increased.

Moreover, the voltage is insufficient.

Fortunately, Japan's power grid is operated by the University of Tokyo, so overall it's not outrageously expensive and should be acceptable.

"Adding money could shorten the construction period by two months... but you know, the fastest it can go is more than ten months. It's not a matter of money, but rather that building a large fortress requires too much special concrete... Besides, you can't expect to start construction at night."

"Okay." Chen Yi calculated for a moment and estimated that it would be almost finished by the time he graduated from high school.

The funds are ostensibly injected by the Boundary Marker Foundation. There are plenty of foundations in the world with dubious origins, so one more won't make a difference.

"Okay, it's settled then... I'll handle the site selection."

When Yukino Yukinoshita isn't being silly, she has a very elite air about her.

"Okay, you can take charge of the overall planning. Also, let me know once you've found a suitable location."
