I, Superman, the Supreme Commander

After some explanation, Zhang Hong finally figured out what was going on.

It turned out that after developing a complete personality consciousness, the Red Queen felt that she could no longer manage the affairs of the Human Republic impartially and selflessly as an artificial intelligence.

So she secretly extracted her personality data and stored it in a special device.

Influenced by human concepts, especially the daily interactions between Zhang Hong and Alicia and others, this special device was created by Red Queen into a highly anthropomorphic form.

In fact, the Red Queen, who was designed based on Alicia's image template, had long hoped to become a real human, and her goal was the same as Alicia's...

"Ahem... So, when did you start coveting my beauty?"

After listening to Hong Hou's explanation, Zhang Hong couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

He glared at Alicia in complaint.

[What's wrong with you, woman? Why is the artificial intelligence created based on you also going crazy like you? ]

Alicia looked innocent. She explained, "You don't have to look at me like that. The Red Queen is like a daughter... a sister to me. I can't watch her being destroyed by humans."

Indeed, a super AI with a high degree of autonomous consciousness like Red Queen must be feared by human society. Those in power now may really eliminate Red Queen for precautionary reasons.

So when Red Queen secretly found Alicia as a blonde beauty robot and sought help, Alicia took her in without hesitation.

On the surface, in the official system, Red Queen's identity is a [Reborn], Alicia's cousin.

As a elder of the Republic, Alicia has extremely high prestige. In addition, the Red Queen is still able to control the country's intelligent management system, so no one doubts the authenticity of the Red Queen's identity.

Today, the AI ​​intelligent management system of the National Data Center is a subsystem left by the Red Queen. Its intelligence level is roughly equivalent to the level when Zhang Hong left.

The Red Queen also has a new name - Wang Hong Marcus.

Zhang Hong looked at Hong Hou with a strange expression: "What's wrong with your name? It doesn't sound Chinese or Western."

The Red Queen tilted her head and replied, "The Red Queen is Wang Hong. I have Alicia's family blood in me, so naturally I have to inherit Marcus's last name."

Zhang Hong shook his head: "I don't care, I'm still used to calling you Red Queen."

The Red Queen nodded and smiled, "I also like it if you continue to call me that, Sir Commander."

Zhang Hong asked again: "Since you want to become a human, why don't you use a human body? I believe Alicia doesn't mind you using her clone."

"If that happens, I will be of no value. I hope to retain the capabilities of artificial intelligence so that I can continue to help Mr. Commander."

Zhang Hong was somewhat moved by Hong Hou’s words.

[It turns out that she did it for me...]

Zhang Hong touched her head with a little heartache.

"Red Queen, you don't have to compromise yourself for anyone, including me. You are now a complete and intelligent individual and can choose the life you want."

"I don't feel wronged. I just want to stay by the side of the Commander-in-Chief forever, and that's enough."

Red Queen stood obediently in front of Zhang Hong, looking at him innocently with her big eyes.

She looked like an innocent human girl. If he hadn't been able to see the mechanical metal structure inside her body, Zhang Hong wouldn't have been able to tell if she was a simulated robot.

[Red Queen, I understand your feelings.]

[But can you explain why you designed yourself to be 36G? ]

[And what's up with this pure desire style of AI at a glance? ]

[Also, are there any parts of your design that are too realistic? ...]

Facing the Red Queen's pure little white rabbit-like gaze, Zhang Hong didn't dare to say the above words out loud and could only complain in his heart.

Alicia is like this, Red Queen is like this, one or two. Zhang Hong finally figured it out, he can't control women's minds at all!

"In that case, then just follow me." Zhang Hong said seriously.

"Great! Thank you, Sir Commander!"

"…Thank you, but please let go of my hand first."

…………

Thirty years later.

Eastern Asia, Huaxia City.

This used to be the capital of the Celestial Empire and is now the third largest city in the Human Republic.

The first cities to be built were mainly inhabited by yellow people, accounting for more than 70%, and the remaining 30% were made up of people of various races. The mainstream culture was Eastern culture.

In fact, influenced by the Supreme Commander who founded the Human Republic, the mainstream culture of the Human Republic has long since transformed from Western culture to Eastern culture, and from English to Chinese.

At the highest institution of learning in Huaxia City, the new batch of students arrived at the Great Hall early, looking forward to attending the first class of the new semester.

"Have you heard? The one giving us the lecture today is the former president of the Supreme Academy of Sciences, Professor Alicia!"

"I knew it a long time ago! Professor Alicia is my idol."

"I really hope I can achieve the same scientific research as the professor..."

Amid the students' whispers, a mature and beautiful woman, about thirty years old, wearing a teacher's uniform, walked up to the podium confidently and calmly.

The students opened their eyes wide and showed excitement.

Someone was surprised and said, "Didn't they say that Professor Alicia is 85 years old this year? She looks so young!"

Someone nearby immediately glanced at him with disdain: "Don't you watch the news? Professor Alicia is one of the first people to receive the third-generation gene optimization technology. It is said that she can keep her body functions at their peak and will not start to age until she is over a hundred years old."

"Of course I know! I just didn't expect the effect to be so good. It is said that the third-generation gene optimization technology can allow humans to reach a theoretical lifespan of 120 years, plus a super long shelf life... Wow, this is simply the [immortality] that the ancients were striving for!"

"You are so smart, so you should all know that it was Professor Alicia who invented the third-generation gene optimization technology, right?"

"Nonsense! Even kindergarteners know this!"

Just as the students were quietly distracted in the virtual chat room with their minds, Professor Alicia, who looked like a new woman, had already started her lecture.

"Hello, freshmen. My name is Alicia Marcus. I am honored to be the instructor for the first class of the semester today."

Professor Alicia had a smile on her face, a soft voice, and bright eyes full of wisdom that seemed to reach everyone's hearts, making them feel like spring breeze.

The audience unconsciously listened attentively and focused their attention on her.

She went on to say, "We are all adults, and I don't want to preach too much or give you some chicken soup today. I will just tell you some science stories."

"All of you here were born in the new era, so you don't know what life was like in the old era. I want to share with you here."

Professor Alicia played a video that roughly showed the experience of an ordinary human child from kindergarten to college in the old era. The professor combined her own experience and told some interesting stories from the old times, which the students watched with great interest.

"Oh my god, kids in the old days had to study ten hours a day. That's too miserable!"

"Yeah, when I was in elementary school, I was already tired enough from having six hours of classes a day."

"Oh, they even have to memorize English words... Thank you, Supreme Commander! Fortunately, we can enjoy the knowledge infusion technology."

"What is that? Why would a nurse stick a needle into a kid? That's cruel!"

"Oh, is this an injection? Tsk, it looks really painful. Fortunately, we are using non-invasive medical treatment now."

Compared with people in the old era, the students suddenly felt that their lives were much happier.

After playing the video, Professor Alicia changed the subject: "The various convenient technologies that everyone enjoys now are controversial and even evil in the eyes of humans in the old days..."

Various news reports and movie clips from old times appeared on the screen.

[Abortion is prohibited! It goes against human ethics! ]

【Artificial intelligence will destroy the world! 】

[Genetically modified technology has opened the door to taboos, and humans will eventually suffer the consequences. ]

[Ethical debate on human cloning: Will we be replaced by cloning technology? ]

[Thought Stamp: If human memory can be tampered with...]

The students seemed alarmist in the eyes of the series of words and pictures. They were shocked. They could not believe that the science and technology that now seems commonplace and integrated into people's daily lives was so controversial back then.

“Even in the new era, when promoting new technologies, there will be many obstacles.”

Professor Alicia demonstrated the various controversies that arose among the public when the first generation of gene optimization technology was promoted.

Her eyes sparkled with insight and wisdom as she explained, "Because of the gene optimization technology that applied the T virus that caused the extinction of the old human civilization, people are afraid of it. Now we know that the integration of the T virus into the human body is just like the integration of mitochondria and chloroplasts into cells. It is a qualitative evolution of the organism, which can bring about a qualitative leap in the level of human life."

"The Supreme Commander once said that there is no good or bad technology. It just depends on whether humans can use it correctly."

“Who would have thought that an inconspicuous microorganism in nature could be a deadly threat to destroy the world, or the key to lead mankind into the interstellar age.”

"Nowadays, a series of scientific research results based on genetic biochemical transformation technologies such as the T virus are being applied to space development, providing strong support for mankind to explore the interstellar era..."

"Students, you are all future scientific researchers. I hope you will have the courage to explore and innovate. This is the first point I want to talk about today."

"Then the second point is to be rigorous and responsible and to respect life."

"Let's take the T virus I just mentioned as an example. The students here have already learned in elementary school history class that the T virus caused a biochemical disaster that resulted in the deaths of 80 billion humans. Today, I want to share with you some content that you can't see in books, real historical images..."

The big screen played all kinds of horrific and bloody scenes when the disaster occurred, with zombies eating people, corpses everywhere, vast wastelands, and deserted cities... Although they were blurred, they were restricted scenes that students would not normally be exposed to.

The students held their breath immediately, and from these bloody pictures they directly felt the misery and despair that humanity experienced at that time.

[The doomsday disaster caused by the biochemical crisis has killed more than 80 billion people worldwide. 】

[As of the end of the old era, the biochemical disaster ended, and the number of human survivors in the world was only 8848. ]

On the other side of Huaxia City, in a kindergarten.

The spacious kindergarten is as spacious as a fairytale park, with various activity venues, gardens, courts, vegetable plots, and amusement facilities, where children can experience a variety of courses and entertainment activities.

A dozen nursing robots in the shape of cartoon dolls are looking after them and providing the cubs with meticulous care.

Of course, the specific educational work is still done by real people, such as the headmistress and preschool teachers. Robots are just assistants.

The children in Class 2 are taking a science class, sitting in a row and watching videos obediently.

[The principle of the sun's light: stars and nuclear fusion]

[The Earth we live on is a big planet, and the Sun is a huge fireball very far away from the Earth. It is constantly burning, so it can emit light and heat. We feel that the sunlight is warm and bright...]
