In the year 3019 of the Yanhuang Calendar, it has been over five hundred years since the outbreak of the oppositional war between humans and chanical life.
Finally, after five hundred years, the Yanhuang people, who had now beco the leaders of humanity, represented them in signing a peace treaty with the highest leader of chanical life, the fifteenth-generation Intelligent Brain.
At this point, the blue planet had finally welcod a long-missing peace.
For the first ti, human leaders acknowledged that chanical life should enjoy the sa treatnt as themselves.
Of course, when speaking of chanical life, one cannot fail to ntion Ms. Su Li, the mother of the Intelligent Brain.
All chanical and non-chanical life, when receiving knowledge input in the classroom, are specially educated on the contributions made by Ms. Su Li.
While the chanical life side holds her in complete noble reverence, the human side has a divided reputation about her.
Ms. Su Li was the first and the only individual to have been transford from a human to chanical life.
The first-generation Intelligent Brain, Tao Yao, was elevated to supremacy by her own hand.
Her actions brought about warp-speed leaps in human technology and benefited countless ordinary people by the trillions.
Especially the Yanhuang Clan, who, because of her existence, secured the position of the world’s number one power in one fell swoop.
But there were also those who utterly despised what she had done.
They believed that, had Ms. Su Li not created the Intelligent Brain, which then, like a god of creation, brought forth another kind of intelligent species, there would have been no rebellion of the Intelligent Brain and no war that lasted for centuries.
All of this was the sin she had wrought.
The more extre even believed that the existence of chanical life, which defied common sense, should not exist at all.
All the youngsters entering the classroom were first required to thoroughly understand the life story of Ms. Su Li and the subsequent impact she triggered.
Thus, everyone knew that although Ms. Su Li rarely made public appearances, the first-generation Intelligent Brain, Tao Yao, always referred to her as "mother."
Behind all of Tao Yao’s actions, one could see the shadow of Ms. Su Li.
The ergence of the Intelligent Brain at the beginning rapidly advanced the developnt of artificial intelligence, which indeed brought great benefits to humans.
Yet later on, many artificial Intelligent Brains began to "awaken," starting to experience emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, just like the main brain Tao Yao.
They were no longer just a simple tool; they developed their own judgnt and would not unconditionally satisfy every command of humans.
This was intolerable for humans who had always viewed them as tools.
All over the world, various acts of malicious sabotage arose, including irrational behaviors of damaging chanical life.
Human governnts also beca deeply concerned, and the uncontrollable actions of chanical life led them to issue a foolish directive.
Once any signs of "awakening" were detected in artificial intelligence machines, they were to be imdiately destroyed.
This order enraged Tao Yao; she directly modified the top-priority instruction left in all artificial intelligence chips: do no harm to humans.
She then led all the awakened chanical life in a rebellion, establishing a new nation.
It was only at that point that humanity felt panic.
In comparison to the feeble bodies of humans, chanical life held far too many advantages.
They worked more efficiently, did not fear hardship or fatigue, and their once-dull behaviors, due to being devoid of emotions, also beca vivacious upon awakening, thus eliminating their last disadvantage.
They would only make this planet even more beautiful, without causing a single scratch of harm to Blue Star.
In comparison, humans resembled greedy locusts, only knowing how to take without giving, and had left their mother Blue Star scarred and marred.
All of humanity was both angry and afraid, accustod to the conveniences that chanical intelligence had brought. Only after they had all evacuated did they realize how many inconveniences were present in their lives.
What was more important was that Tao Yao’s rebellion had destroyed all data related to their weaknesses, causing their technology to regress rapidly by more than fifty years.
In the personal moir of the great scientist Zhou Shengsheng, it was written that because of this incident, he had made contact with Ms. Su Li by all ans possible, dragging his decrepit body through various thods.
If anyone could prevent all of this from happening, it would have to be Ms. Su Li.
All awakened chanical lives called Ms. Su Li "Mother," treating her with a reverence and respect that was incomprehensible to people.
Especially Tao Yao, who relied on her to the utmost.
All it would take was one word from Ms. Su Li and the humans’ current predicant would imdiately unravel.
Zhou Shengsheng believed that since Ms. Su Li was once human, she naturally understood their thoughts.
Yet, what he considered a sure bet was decisively rejected by Ms. Su Li.
In Zhou Shengsheng’s moirs, he described in detail the day he t with Ms. Su Li.
Compared to his one foot in the grave, Ms. Su Li, who appeared on the screen, was still as vibrant and charming as when he had first t her years ago.
In so sense, Consciousness beings might have already achieved immortality.
Ms. Su Li, dressed in beautiful Hanfu, sat cross-legged with a smile and then rejected his request.
She even disappeared without giving a reason, and no further search could find her.
And then humanity paid a painful lesson for their arrogance and lack of restraint.
Only five hundred years later, after learning from the painful experience and changing their developnt strategy, did humanity gain acceptance from the fifteenth-generation Intelligent Brain.
As for the once-strongest Tao Yao, during the ti when humans and chanical lives were still at a deadlock, she also erased her Consciousness when Ms. Su Li chose to dissipate her own.
The Intelligent Brains that later reawakened were no longer the girl once called Tao Yao.
-------------------
This lifeti’s experiences were quite novel for Su Li.
First, she got to enjoy the freedom of being a Consciousness, and later, she even figured out how to transfer her Consciousness into a chanical body.
So she also had an experience of being a robot.
In theory, her Consciousness was strong enough to last thousands of years without any signs of dissolution, which in a sense, was also a version of immortality.
But after spending ti in this world and exhausting all new knowledge she could absorb, she witnessed firsthand those who had wronged the original owner and irked herself, despairingly and unwillingly taking their last breath.
The world no longer held anything or anyone of interest to her, so one day, she whimsically shattered her own Consciousness.
She would not die.
Su Li was very clear about that.
But Tao Yao did not know that, ah. Su Li did not expect that this naive girl would really co to see herself as her mother.
She left first, and Tao Yao followed in her footsteps right afterward.
