Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1457: Chapter 550: Marquis Zhenjiang’s Gaze

Wangjiang Star is not considered a prosperous planet. From a distance, it’s covered by vast areas of greenery, with few human-made structures, so much so that at first, Ren Zhong almost thought he was seeing things.

It wasn’t until he successfully landed Marvell’s small spacecraft in a small garden city that he could finally confirm that his eyes hadn’t deceived him.

On this planet, there are hardly any artificial objects; it’s only the vegetation that’s exceptionally lush.

Marvell, seemingly aware of Ren Zhong’s astonishment, proactively explained, "Previously, the layout of Wangjiang Star was quite high-tech, but after we settled here, out of nostalgia for our homeland, we slowly transformed Wangjiang Star into an ecological planet. Don’t be fooled by the low-rise buildings here, with neither skyscrapers nor sky transport tracks. Thanks to the abundant vegetation, Wangjiang Star boasts an exceptionally oxygen-rich environment. Today, Wangjiang Star is the leading center for science, education, and arts in the Far Border Star Domain. This is also why the Royal Academy of Sciences relocated the Far Border Branch here."

Ren Zhong gave a thumbs up, "The Marquis is farsighted, remarkable."

"Not really. It’s just that unintended actions sometimes lead to pleasant outcomes," Marvell humbly replied.

After the spacecraft came to a complete stop, Ren Zhong and Marvell Louis walked side by side down the gangway.

On both sides at the foot of the gangway, there were already two rows of ceremonial personnel waiting.

A woman with a beautiful and elegant appearance stood at the center of these ceremonial team members. Just by her position, she stood out.

Marvell quickened his pace, stepping in front of the woman before turning back to introduce her to Ren Zhong, "This is number 77, my artificial intelligence assistant, the pinnacle creation of the Royal Academy of Sciences’ Bionics Institute. With assistance from the Empire Super Network, she can simultaneously link and read the entire life memories of hundreds of elite human females, nearly indistinguishable from a real person. She’s my right-hand assistant. You can call her Qiqi. I need to return to the administrative office to handle some accumulated affairs, so before the conferring ceremony, Qiqi will serve as your assistant, Brother Ren Zhong, helping you with various matters."

Ren Zhong nodded, "Thank you, Brother Marvell."

Having said that, Ren Zhong looked at Qiqi with curiosity.

This was his first encounter with an artificial intelligence humanoid based on real human memories, assembled together, leaving him amazed.

It’s undeniable that this is indeed a path to creating top-tier intelligent life, though it comes with high costs. The complete life memories of hundreds of people must consume vast storage resources, and preparing these memory data requires prolonged periods to continuously read the lives of elite humans meticulously.

This method’s implementation difficulty is significant.

Furthermore, Ren Zhong noticed that Qiqi bore a 70-80% resemblance to Chen Hanyu, though lacking the naturally authentic beauty of Chen Hanyu, showing a bit more artificial crafting traces.

This indicates that no matter how vast the Empire’s territory or distant the distance, no matter how great the social customs differ, the innate genetic preferences of humans, these carbon-based creatures, in aesthetics have a striking similarity.

"Hello." Knowing the other was a humanoid, Ren Zhong still stepped forward to greet and extend his hand.

Qiqi stared with her large eyes, seemingly startled by Ren Zhong’s display of human social etiquette.

Standing next to them, Marvell Louis was also a bit overwhelmed. Marvell thought, I initially told you she’s an AI assistant, and that’s the main point! Although I used a lengthy speech to describe Qiqi’s human-like features afterward, these were just supplementary explanations!

Ren Zhong’s hand hovered in the air without receiving a response. He turned to Marvell, asking in confusion, "Did it crash? When I was first developing silicon chip computers on Source Star, I frequently encountered this phenomenon, usually caused by overheating chips requiring cooling or a restart."

Marvell’s mouth twitched slightly.

Opposite him, Qiqi seemed to snap out of it at last, quickly reaching out to grasp Ren Zhong’s still extended right hand, "Hello, Earl Red Blade."

Qiqi’s palm was small, entering his hand smooth and warm, albeit slightly cool, indicating her bionic function in temperature control still had flaws. Her bones were very strong, surpassing the hardness of ordinary alloys.

The above were Ren Zhong’s entire observations after a brief handshake.

His right hand’s back had five white marks.

Given his astonishing physical attributes now, to leave white marks from a handshake shows the power of Qiqi’s grip.
