Chapter 2197: Sky, Pioneer, and Pioneer Space
[Overall Evaluation: 5.5 (Excellent)]
Physique, Agility, Perception, Arcane. The four major attribute categories, each figure seems simple, but in reality, behind every number lies a report running several dozen pages long, with each sub-page containing detailed mathematical formulas and testing times.
All thanks to the legacy left by the Silver Peak Sage, the ’Hollow Realm Synthesis Entity’, the foundation of the entire Federation.
Before ascending to godhood, the Silver Peak Sage had already collaborated with the Orthodox Church and the Fae in the Domain of Void, forging the Void Artificial Intelligence, creating the Artificial Underworld, Administrative Intelligence, and a series of monumental creations with eternal contributions.
One could say, without the assistance of the Synthesis Intelligence, it would have been virtually impossible for the Federation to integrate the entire Terra’s resources within just five years and embark on a great era of development, bringing nearly ten billion people into today’s high-welfare modern society.
As of now, Terra civilization, based on Arcane, bioengineering, and virtual realm engineering, is thriving. Void Artificial Intelligence, magic web, and electronic networks influence and even dominate everyone’s lives.
Originally, mobile terminals evolved from the earliest handheld crystal plates to portable AR glasses, contact lenses, and even biological chips implanted in the cornea, and just a decade ago, with technological breakthroughs at the Silver Peak Central Technical Research Institute, humans finally transplanted all the functions of mobile terminals into the ’Artificial Soul’.
Since then, human bodies and minds can directly connect to the Phantom Network, and the False Realm World has finally and completely become humanity’s second world.
The ’Data Panel’ that Aldo now sees doesn’t even exist on his retina but is directly reflected in his perceptual world, i.e., within the ’soul’. With this System Panel that everyone on Terra possesses, every Terra person can know every detail of their body, and thereby better transcend themselves through the Arcane Pathway, becoming stronger and more perfect.
Not only that.
"Sister Light, what’s my schedule for today?"
At Aldo’s call, a hazy silver phantom appeared beside him, a gentle voice rising within the soul: "Engineering practice from 9 am to 11:30 am, deep space engineering construction from 3 pm to 7 pm. These are today’s study and work projects."
"Aldo, I suggest you go to the gym for an hour of morning exercise now, and engage in light aerobic activities around lunchtime. The Moon’s low gravity will lead to a series of space-related illnesses, and according to Synthesis Intelligence’s calculations, you need to work out in a standard gravity gym for 2-3 hours daily to grow healthily."
The silver-haired female steward’s phantom stood behind Aldo, reminding him in a familial tone: "Now you should place the ingredients in the cooking machine, so when you return from exercising, you’ll have a hot meal."
"Mm, okay."
Aldo obediently replied, and after washing his face, he followed her suggestion to prepare the ingredients.
The virtual figure named Sister Light is precisely the embodiment of ’Synthesis Intelligence’.
With the gradual development of terminal technology, the ’coexistent artificial intelligence’ that lives with all Terra people has long been integrated into each individual’s soul. Everyone is born with an Artificial Intelligence Steward connected directly to the Hollow Realm Synthesis Intelligence.
Though these stewards are virtual, they can rely on Synthesis Intelligence to control various automated facilities, utilizing home robots, vacuum robots, and other terminals to provide various services to their masters.
Even babies can be carefully cared for, more attentively than most parents without professional certification—after all, they aren’t impatient, don’t tire, and are proficient in all infant-care techniques.
Though she’s called Sister, to Aldo, she’s more like his real mother—his bloodline mother only had him in response to New Silver Peak’s policy to gain certification bonus points and never truly took care of Aldo; it was the artificial intelligence that looked after the Artificial Human’s artificial offspring all along.
On local Terra, artificial intelligence merely supports parents and acts as companions, caregivers, and guardians for children, but on the Moon, artificial intelligence is the parents, elders, friends... and indeed, everything for lunar inhabitants.
Aldo’s mother could only escape into the Domain of Void during the solar storm under the protection of her personal intelligence, avoiding complete annihilation of spirit and soul, and Aldo didn’t inherit much material legacy for the same reason—his mother spent nearly all her disposable savings restoring her personal intelligence.
Aldo does not feel his mother did anything wrong because if it were him, he’d surely prioritize Sister Light’s continuity—after all, the Federation guarantees no one goes hungry.
Aldo also fully understands that personal intelligence is also the result of joint evolution with human civilization.
The earliest personal intelligence was merely an intelligent program housed in terminals, at most helping owners check and fill gaps, control furniture, subscribe to data, purchase various types of tickets, etc. But with the evolution of Synthesis Intelligence, personal intelligence gradually transformed from an intelligent program into today’s personal steward, and even intimate companion for combat.
Powerful Arcane Path Practitioners can even, through their power, materialize personal intelligence into a ’Substitute’, ’War God’, or ’Second Soul’ to fight alongside them.
