reincarnation npc, but tomorrow's ark

"Looking on the bright side, at least your explosives are very efficient, and your military skills and combat techniques are quite advanced and professional for this area. Some of your tactical equipment and tools are also more advanced than the technology here, such as solar charging panels and small communicators," Bai Ye comforted him.

Then he pointed to the armory next to him:

"If you want weapons, I will do my best to provide them... the types you can use."

In the second half of the sentence, Bai Ye emphasized the pronunciation.

"Could I have a hunting bow?" Frost asked first.

Besides being a survival expert and trap specialist, she is also an excellent hunter.

However, Bai Ye shook his head in confusion:

"Then it would probably have to be custom-made... Bows are used a lot here, but you probably can't use them."

"Is it because it's different from Earth's? I can still adapt, as long as the general principles are similar." Frost still didn't understand what Bai Ye meant.

Bai Ye thought for a moment, then picked up a standard military bow from the side:

"Actually, it's a more practical problem... you can't open this thing..."

As he spoke, Bai Ye handed the bow to the Rainbow Squad members.

Frost tried it first, and then found that he couldn't draw the bow no matter how hard he tried.

Everyone was surprised again. They took turns trying to draw the bow, but only the machine gunner managed to pull the bowstring back a little with great effort.

That's all; it's still quite a distance from being usable normally.

“Now I have a more direct understanding of the Terrans’ physique and strength…” Ash’s expression was somewhat solemn.

This level of power is truly terrifying.

What truly defines a Super Terran?!

“Even crossbows are difficult for you to use because you can’t reload them quickly…” Bai Ye shook his head.

As Bai Ye spoke, he put away Frost's weapon. With that, all the weapons of the four members of Rainbow Team were stored in the instrument case.

Of course, there were no musical instruments, only firearms that fit perfectly into the hollowed-out design.

The machine gunner's instruments are all large, not only because the weapons are bulky, but also because he needs to carry and use a large amount of ammunition. Otherwise, his weapons would just be fire pokers.

Bai Ye kept firearms, ammunition, and some explosives from the supplies carried by the Rainbow team as research samples. He was very interested in these centuries-old weapons, not only wanting to replicate them for the Rainbow team, but also harboring other ideas. In fact, these weapons proved to be the most efficient killing machines and the most terrifying inventions of their time.

After all, humans have always had a knack for destroying themselves.

……

After resolving the issue of firearms for everyone, Bai Ye had a new plan.

“Your attire needs a change. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. You can put away these items for now. My suggestion is that you take a good shower and rest, and change into the new clothes I've prepared for you, as well as the new camouflage…”

As Bai Ye spoke, he opened another cabinet, which was filled with... clothes and hats.

“Sometimes our people also need to disguise themselves to enter other countries…and in addition to clothes as a disguise, hats are also essential.”

“These hats seem rather unusual?” Ash picked up one of them.

"Yes, these hats are all custom-made; this is exactly what you need..."

Bai Ye pointed to the cat ear design on the hat as she spoke.

"Uh... I feel like this is Halloween." Ash put on the cat ear hat and then touched the bump on his head.

"Pfft—" Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.

This usually serious older sister is actually kind of... cute right now?

Chapter 137 Rainbow Band

"Are these cat ears?" Ash looked at himself in the mirror and shook his head curiously.

She discovered that the hat was clearly specially made; no matter how much she shook it, it wouldn't slip off her head, which was quite good, as it wouldn't get in the way during combat.

“Yes, cat ears.” Bai Ye nodded. “Or rather, it’s Felin. ‘Cat’ is a rare descriptive word here. We usually call them Felin people.”

"Because Felins have cat ears, most hats designed for Felins have a prominent outline to accommodate the ears, or simply a hole to let the ears out."

Talulah's hats all have special openings for the horns to protrude, and these openings even have zippers so they can be zipped up and closed when not in use. This is a very thoughtful design.

Therefore, fashion design is a very promising industry in Terra, after all, the races on this land are different, and each race has different needs for clothing. Designers need to design clothes for different races.

“Your current appearance is too conspicuous. Apart from some Agorians who do not have obvious physical characteristics, the rest of you all have some features that are more or less distinguishable from other races.” Bai Ye said, pointing to Talulah’s Drak horns next to him.

"For example, this woman is sometimes mistaken for Vairvan because Vairvan also has similar dragon horn features."

"So, now I am Felin?" Ash looked in the mirror again, examining the hat on his head and the tail model hidden under his coat.

"That's pretty strange..." the woman scratched her head.

“Now you’re our cat-eared colleague. If Lana and the others see this, they’ll probably burst out laughing,” Blitz chuckled beside him.

But Bai Ye interrupted him:

"Don't rush, each of you has your own plan... I won't let you go out like this and attract the special attention of people with ulterior motives."

"Hey, do we need it too?" Machine Gunner Alexander pointed to himself. "Including me?"

"That's right, you need to get a new helmet," Bai Ye couldn't help but complain. "Isn't it uncomfortable to keep yourself stuffed in a helmet all the time?"

“He’s always been like this. You don’t need to worry about him.” Frost rolled his eyes.

……

In the end, all the Rainbow Squad members changed into the camouflage outfits that White Night had prepared for them.

Besides Ash, the cat-eared colleague from the Felin tribe, the machine gunner disguised himself as an Ursus, Frost disguised himself as a Lupo, and as for Blitz, after some deliberation, Bai Ye chose a Volpo disguise for him.

“Now I’ve really adapted to local customs.” Blitz touched the fake tail behind him.

"And you, have you always looked like this?" Ash looked at Bai Ye. She found that a big reason why Bai Ye looked so pleasing to the eye was that Bai Ye did not have those strange features—a tail, ears, or horns.

"Because I don't need it." Bai Ye said, clenching his fist.

In fact, almost no one questioned Bai Ye's race. Bai Ye believed that Dr. Kal'tsit treated him like a giant beast cub, or that she had seen through his transmigrator nature in some way.

As for the others, since Bai Ye often mingled with those deep-sea hunters, he was usually regarded as an Agor, and one of those who came to land from the deep sea.

"Now you're not the Rainbow Squad anymore, you could probably be called the 'Rainbow Band,' or... the 'Rainbow Choir'?"

The latter name sounds familiar; it seems to refer to an indoor choral band from two or three hundred years ago.

"A wandering musician, huh? That's quite an interesting identity..." Alexander couldn't help but complain. "I can't sing."

……

Bai Ye stopped paying attention to the Rainbow Squad transmigrators. He found a place for these operators to rest and learn the common sense they needed through the intercity network.

After a short rest, Talulah returned to her busy work. Bai Ye felt that this girl was quite the workaholic, and she kept putting pressure on herself. It seemed that the hardships she had suffered in the past had filled her with a sense of crisis.

Bai Ye borrowed the Rainbow Squad's weapons first. The guys didn't seem to have any objections when he took them; they even explained the different types of bullets and bombs to him in detail. After all, Bai Ye wasn't very familiar with these things.

You can't expect someone skilled in using blaster guns and thermoelectric weapons to understand how primitive weapons from two or three hundred years ago operated. Although these kinetic weapons were the prototypes and ancestors of future weapons for a long time, Bai Ye's understanding of them was mostly limited to museums and exhibition halls.

Although there are elective courses on this topic in the hobby curriculum, Bai Ye definitely has no interest in learning about it. It's like if someone asked you to learn how to use a matchlock gun or even more ancient firearms, you would just think they were joking.

Bai Ye plans to hand over these weapons from another world, along with the small devices he carries, to the Lobotomy Laboratory so that they can study them together with the engineering operators from Rhodes Island. This firearm, so different from the Tatra guns currently available in Terra, seems to offer them great inspiration and enlightenment.

After all, in Terra, people have become so reliant on the Originium technology tree that they don't seem to have developed any other technological products that don't depend on it. Even the prototypes of firearms were obtained by Laterano archaeologists, and the firearms on this land are essentially staves in principle, with even the bullets being etched bullets, giving them a magical punk feel.

……

After dealing with the Rainbow Squad, Bai Ye still had other matters to attend to, namely the mad scientist Levi Klitschko, whom he had imprisoned in the cargo hold of the "Cyclops" and tortured for several days.

The mastermind behind this time-travel incident was this guy. Bai Ye had no idea how he managed to concoct a time-travel device capable of breaking through dimensional barriers on Earth, only two or three hundred years in the past. This was clearly beyond the technological level of the time; it was the epitome of black technology.

In fact, Bai Ye himself was somewhat conflicted about how to deal with this guy. Therefore, before disposing of him, Bai Ye decided to go to the Earth Well to hear Luna's thoughts.

Instead of agonizing over it himself, he should just turn to the all-knowing Luna.

Chapter 138 Intelligent AI

With each update, Luna can stay in Terra for longer periods. In fact, the servers have already reopened, but Luna can still be found in the Well of Earth.

Perhaps, with continued updates, Luna will be able to truly appear in Terra, instead of existing as she does now, existing only in the rifts between worlds.

Her current state is a superposition of being both in Terra and not in Terra, which can be described as being like Buddha.

"Did Luna come or not? Tathagata. His first move was Frost Blossoms Across the Sky."

As Bai Ye hummed a tune from two or three hundred years ago, he walked into the underground of the command tower.

"You humans are really amazing. Whatever memes were used on the internet two or three hundred years ago, they're still the same two or three hundred years later." Luna had obviously heard Bai Ye's voice and couldn't help but complain.

Bai Ye sighed:

"After all, the great war that gave birth to you almost destroyed us, nearly pushing us into the Stone Age. In that dark age, many things were stagnant."

"Including online popular culture, if it weren't for the later New Renaissance, we would have almost had to start from scratch."

"So you've revived all this stuff... and these kinds of guys are actually considered my children..." Luna was speechless.

The first thing to drive the Renaissance was actually internet memes, which is rather abstract.

"After all, the data storage device we got was basically full of this kind of messy stuff." Bai Ye said as he walked into the Earth Well and stretched.

"You saw a time traveler? How did it feel?" Luna asked.

"Don't you know? I thought you already knew." Bai Ye blinked.

“If I knew, what would be the point of you traveling here? Sending someone directly here is quite a hassle.” Luna sighed. “In the end, I only know about you.”

Bai Ye nodded and then recounted everything that had happened since he set off to find the transmigrator.

"Earth two or three hundred years ago?" Luna was somewhat surprised, not expecting there to be another Earth.

"You weren't even born back then, Luna." Bai Ye was quite curious about that point in time before the great battle.

That was the darkest era in the history of human civilization, almost causing the entire civilization to perish from self-destruction.

"To be honest, Earth is a better destination for our journey than Terra..." Luna said, somewhat troubled. If they had discovered Earth earlier, they wouldn't have needed to launch this game expedition. Earth is still Earth, and its compatibility is far superior to this so-called "Terra."

You know, planets called Terra are generally not simple, right? "Holy Terra".

"Unfortunately, once the arrow is released, there's no turning back." Bai Ye shook his head. Once the target was set, it couldn't be changed. After all, even the atmospheric power, one of the four pillars of creation, had been placed into Bai Ye's body.

"It can also be used as a backup plan, to make contact first." Luna was clearly very interested in that planet.

“I’ve sealed the time-travel device away; we can study it later… However, there’s something that’s bothering me.” Bai Ye then told Luna about the scientist Levi Klitschko.

"You need his understanding of this device, and you're afraid he'll trick you? That's easy. Although I can't influence Terra, the guy you're talking about is neither an Earthling nor a Terran... He's not on my forbidden list."

Whether it was a misperception or not, Bai Ye sensed a wicked smile on this guy's face, clearly indicating that Luna had some dark thoughts.

Bai Ye quickly understood her thoughts and chuckled along.

“Actually, solving this problem is very simple; just correct his personality.” Luna said something quite remarkable.

"You mean, brainwashing?"

"Why be confined to the human body?" Luna shook her head. "Do you know what intelligent AI is?"

“SMART? Isn’t that a concept that’s still in the theoretical stage? Similar to an artificial Yao Guang?” Bai Ye frowned upon hearing this.

The so-called "fluctuating light" refers to the human soul. The human brain contains countless microtubules within its brain cells, each containing countless photons. By reading its quantum field, one can obtain all the information stored in the brain. Fluctuating light existing inside the biological brain is called "natural fluctuating light," while artificial fluctuating light is created by replicating natural fluctuating light.

This is what is known as intelligent AI, whose ultimate goal is to create human souls. Of course, the main applications are resurrection, rebirth, and even immortality, which are beyond reality but absolutely fascinating.

"In fact, the technology has already made some kind of breakthrough, and now, there just happens to be an individual who can bypass my restrictions."

Yes, although Levi Klitschko is an Earthling, he is not from the Earth where Luna is. It's a very clever identity.

What should we do?

Bai Ye blinked.

“You need to bring him into the computer room, and then we can scan and copy the neural pathways of other people’s brains to create a matrix of intelligent AI. However, firstly, this process will damage the original brain tissue. Secondly, in its early stages, the AI ​​will generate a more efficient neural connection system to replace the neural pathways of the original brain tissue. In this process, a considerable portion of the neural connections will be ‘wasted,’ which ultimately leads to the relatively limited lifespan of the AI ​​itself.”

"Thirdly, intelligent AI often retains some thoughts, memories, and/or feelings that remain from the donor before their death. These remnants can exist in any form, from the 'feeling' of combing hair to the influence of habits and traits that constitute the AI's personality. Of course, this part is modified and can be monitored at any time, which is what I call personality modification."

"That's why I say this technology isn't quite mature yet. We haven't reached the point where we can directly read quantum fields and generate light."

Luna opened her eyes and said something quite horrifying.
