Chapter 101 – Third Livestream (3)

The Yellow Sea, 10 meters above sea level…

A ma.s.sive s.p.a.ce-time wormhole that instilled fear in Chen Yu’s heart gradually took shape. The wormhole had a diameter of at least 300 meters, and an enormous shadow was currently moving through it.

“This… What the heck is this thing?!” Chen Yu could not help but fall into a daze as he looked at the behemoth that was gradually revealing itself. “An ai-aircraft carrier?!”

Boom!

When the gigantic object finally landed on the ocean, the impact generated ma.s.sive waves that reached several dozen meters in height!

Danger!

Startled, Chen Yu subconsciously stepped back and closed the portal.

“W-What’s wrong?” Little Peach asked dully.

“No-Nothing…”

After making an awkward cough, Chen Yu opened the portal once more. And as he peeked through the portal, he saw a ma.s.sive s.h.i.+p floating amidst the turbulent waves below him!

The s.h.i.+p measured over 200 meters long and 50 meters wide. All kinds of strange tools hung on the left and ride sides of the s.h.i.+p. There was also a ma.s.sive black cannon at the s.h.i.+p’s stern that, according to Chen Yu’s estimation, had a diameter of at least 30 meters! The muzzle was almost as broad as the s.h.i.+p itself. The sight of the cannon was genuinely daunting, and Chen Yu could not even begin to imagine what kind of terrible things could be launched from it…

“This is absolutely an aircraft carrier, right?!”

After standing by the door for some time, Chen Yu slammed the door shut and readjusted the spatial link’s coordinates. After doing so, he opened the portal again and stepped through it, appearing on the s.h.i.+p’s deck.

“So big…”

Compared to looking from afar, the size of the s.h.i.+p looked far more impressive and shocking when standing on board.

Looking at his surroundings, Chen Yu discovered that the s.h.i.+p’s height was also astonis.h.i.+ng. The tallest standing tool on board the vessel was at least 80 meters tall. That was basically a 20-story building!

As a human being, while standing on board this impressive s.h.i.+p, he could not help but feel insignificant…

“If I livestream this thing… Won’t I be asking for trouble…”

Looking at the time displayed on his watch, Chen Yu grew hesitant.

“Mr. Chen, look at this!” At this time, Little Peach’s voice came from nearby.

Snapping out of his daze, Chen Yu turned toward Little Peach’s direction. Immediately, his eyes took notice of a small table sitting in the middle of the deck. Meanwhile, situated above the table was an oval object resembling that of a crystal ball.

“What’s that?”

“I know this!” Proudly puffing up her chest, Little Peach said, “This is the access key of an artificial intelligence. You can use it to grant people various levels of authorization, which will give them corresponding control over the AI. This kind of AI is generally used in the processing center of large machinery for industrial purposes.”

“In other words, this s.h.i.+p is controlled by artificial intelligence?” Chen Yu a.s.sumed as he walked closer to the table and carefully observed the crystal ball.

“Yes. It is commonly used in large s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps, smart cities, s.p.a.ce elevators, and navigation s.h.i.+ps. Without the help of an AI, the workload is simply too much for humans to handle.”

“Then…Since both you and it are AIs, what’s the difference between you two?”

“Using human cla.s.sification standards as an example, I am considered a human being, while it is still considered an ape,” Little Peach said as she pointed at the crystal ball. “Although we are both referred to as artificial intelligence, I belong to one of the top three categories of AIs. I possess a consciousness, emotional simulation, independent thinking, values, and a worldview system. In contrast, the AI on this s.h.i.+p still requires key-based authorization. It can only be considered as one of the weaker types of AIs.”

“So, you were actually this amazing?” Chen Yu was surprised.

“Of course.” Little Peach straightened her body.

“But as far as I know, powerful artificial intelligence can even rule over mankind and create a silicon-based civilization. You’re still not at this level, right?”

“What you’re referring to is a First-cla.s.s Artificial Intelligence. Not only does it have superior computing power, but it is also not limited by its underlying codes. That kind of thing hasn’t been created yet in the 22nd century.”[1]

“So, it hasn’t been created yet…” Chen Yu muttered thoughtfully. After a while, he nodded and continued, “Fortunately, it hasn’t been created yet. Otherwise, with your unique personality, the civilization you create will be a disaster for the galaxy.”

Little Peach: “…”

“Let’s stop talking about this. How do I use this key?”

“Just place your palm on it and choose the highest authority.”

“Like this?”

Chen Yu stretched out his hand and placed his palm on the crystal ball.

Buzz!

In the next moment, light appeared within the crystal ball as the virtual projection of a triangle appeared within it.

“Thank you for using the Ocean s.h.i.+pbuilding Co., Ltd.’s product. Starting up the central processing server, please wait.

“Startup complete. Please name your ‘auxiliary system.’”

Listening to the strange, electronically synthesized sound, Chen Yu turned to give Little Peach a glance. After a moment of thought, he answered, “Dimwit.”

Little Peach: “…”

“Naming successful.”

After another 10 seconds pa.s.sed, the triangle inside the crystal ball changed into the blurred figure of a human.

“Greetings, sir. I am ‘Dimwit.’ Please set your authorization level. The authorization levels are divided into the management level, operation level, and general level.”

“Set it to the highest authority.”

“Management level—Captain’s authority. Confirm?”

“Confirm.”

“Please keep your eyes open and let ‘Dimwit’ collect your iris data.”

Hearing this, Chen Yu leaned closer to the crystal ball and stared straight at the miniature figure.

“Invalid recognition. Please open your eyes.”

Chen Yu was momentarily taken aback by the AI’s response. However, he quickly realized his mistake and removed his mask before leaning forward again.

“Data collection complete. Welcome aboard, Captain. Do you wish to start the guided introduction?”

“Put the introduction on hold for now,” Chen Yu said as he raised his palm. He then looked at Little Peach and said, “Come bind yourself to the s.h.i.+p as well. I’ll let you be the first mate.”

“Okay!”

Little Peach cheered as she removed her mask and approached the crystal ball.

“Invalid recognition. Please open your eyes.”

“Uu…” Taking a step back, Little Peach scratched her head and said, “I forgot. I don’t have an iris.”

“There’s no helping that, then.”

Shrugging, Chen Yu put on his mask and aimed the floating camera toward himself.

“It’s almost half-past nine now. Let’s not delay any things any longer. We’ll listen to the introduction during the livestream.”

“Okay.” Little Peach nodded before putting on her mask as well and standing behind Chen Yu.

“Don’t forget about the precautions. Unless I interact with you, don’t speak.”

“Okay!”

“I’m starting the livestream.”

After these five lines of text flowed by, the total viewer count displayed on the watch started skyrocketing!

3,892.




12,077.




46,014.




119,573…




In just 10 seconds, the total viewer count in the three livestream rooms soared past 100,000!




One could easily imagine how many people had been waiting before their screens.




[Ahhh! The livestream is finally here!]




[I only have one thing to say: Screw you!]




[I nearly died from waiting.]




[My finger became inflamed from all that refres.h.i.+ng.]




[b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Where were the additional livestreams you promised?!]

[Awesome, awesome, awesome…]




[Ancestor, the UP you’re following is finally livestreaming.]




[Everyone, please show some understanding. The host recently had a difficult delivery.]




[Female a.s.sistant! I love you!]




[What will you be reviewing this time? I’m looking forward to it.]




[I’ve taken on the habit of cursing first and watching later.]




[First!]




[I’m first!]




[I was the first to come in.]




[Stop fighting. I’m first.]




[My son still…]




A swarm of densely packed bullet comments flowed through the screen, making it extremely difficult to see the actual content of the livestream.




After giving the bullet comments a glance, Chen Yu could not help but feel a little dazed.




Straightening his mask and holding up his chest, Chen Yu loudly said, “Greetings, friends in the livestream rooms. This is Transdimensional Review’s third official livestream!”
