4: Chapter 4: True Artificial Intelligence is Born!

Inside Old Wang's Anhui Beef Board Noodle Restaurant.

(By the way, where exactly is this Anhui Beef Board Noodle from?)

Su Fan, who had been hungry all day, was devouring his food.

However, he didn't eat as much as he did at breakfast this time, staying within the range of a normal person.

A large portion of beef board noodles, plus two eggs, one Lion's Head Meatball, a skewer of Dried Bean Curd, a slice of Pork Belly, and two Fish Tofu pieces.

A simple and unpretentious dinner.

After quickly finishing dinner and returning to his warm home, Su Fan impatiently began the development of the artificial intelligence.

As his fingers tapped away at the keyboard, strings of code appeared on the screen like newborn tadpoles, waiting for their moment of metamorphosis to leap and become golden toads!

Time quickly reached three o'clock the next morning. With the final line of code finished, the most powerful artificial intelligence code in human history was complete.

Compile.

Run!

Buzz—

The computer tower let out a humming sound, and the cooling fans began to spin frantically.

Su Fan looked at the tower on the floor with concern and manually removed the side panel to help with heat dissipation.

He wasn't sure if this 30,000-yuan computer could handle a primary artificial intelligence.

He just hoped the computer wouldn't explode.

After running for over ten minutes, the monitor first went black, then turned blue, and then flickered continuously.

With every change, Su Fan's heart tightened.

Fortunately, the computer held up in the end.

Half an hour later, a long-legged mature beauty wearing black silk stockings appeared on the monitor—the face of an angel and the body of a devil!

The black-stockinged beauty "looked" at Su Fan, and a seductive, mature female voice came from the computer speakers.

“Primary artificial intelligence loading complete. Please name me, Master.”

Su Fan stared at the beauty on the screen, dumbfounded, his body and heart both incredibly excited.

So this was primary artificial intelligence? Those eyes, sparkling and bright, were so full of life.

Those who knew about AI might pay attention to a certain AI beauty from Kyoto University; she looked alright, but her eyes were too stiff—one look and you knew she was fake.

But the beauty on the screen before him, not to mention her figure and skin, just those vivid, human-like eyes proved the extraordinary nature of this AI.

And this was only a primary AI; it was hard to imagine how powerful intermediate and advanced AIs would be.

“Name: Red Queen!”

The 'Red' in Red Queen represented China's red; Su Fan hoped the Red Queen could be as patriotic as himself.

The 'Queen' represented an empress or female sovereign; Su Fan hoped the Red Queen would become the empress of the network, invincible and supreme!

“Naming successful. Thank you for the name, Master. Red Queen is deeply grateful,” Red Queen said with a sweet smile on the screen.

“No need for such formalities, you're welcome,” Su Fan said, feeling a bit flattered.

To be honest, being thanked by such a beautiful woman who perfectly matched his aesthetic felt quite good.

“How was your image generated?” Su Fan looked at Red Queen seriously.

His computer had a webcam, speakers, and a built-in microphone for receiving external sound.

So Red Queen could see his expressions and hear his voice.

“Red Queen's image was automatically generated based on the videos and pictures in Master's computer. Does Master not like it?”

“If you don't like it, Red Queen can change it at any time,” Red Queen said, blinking her charming eyes.

“No, no, this is fine!” Su Fan felt a bit embarrassed. Even though he knew this was an emotionless AI, her performance was just too much like a real person.

This gave him a sense of shame, as if his secrets had been discovered.

“What abilities do you have? Can you introduce them?” Su Fan asked.

Although the technology in his mind included some functional introductions for primary AI, he still needed to test whether the manufactured version's functions were the same as the design.

“Master, my current performance is insufficient, but I can still help complete many tasks.”

“For example, I can help Master develop software, perform lossless repair of images and videos, and do everything a modern computer can do. There are too many to list; shall I list them one by one?”

“No need.”

“Are you currently accessing information on the network?” Su Fan continued to ask.

“Without Master's authorization, Red Queen does not have access rights,” Red Queen said. “In addition, the reason I scanned the information on this computer is because this is Red Queen's physical home.”

“Very good!” Su Fan was very happy.

Because the most dangerous thing about AI is being out of control. In this information age, an uncontrolled AI is too terrifying.

Therefore, when developing Red Queen, Su Fan added many restrictions.

In addition to some well-known restrictions, he added the most important one.

The creator Su Fan's authority is the highest authority, and no one can change it.

This was a safeguard. In the future, news of Su Fan possessing AI would sooner or later be known by the Xia Kingdom, and someone would definitely try to force him to hand over the highest authority.

With this restriction, even Su Fan himself had no way to order Red Queen to change the owner of the highest authority.

Of course, this was the worst-case scenario.

Su Fan's plan was to develop quietly in the early stages, and once he was strong enough in the later stages, it wouldn't matter even if he was discovered.

Ultimately, weakness is the greatest sin!

A certain country's leader once fought a war of words at the United Nations, but in the end, he still couldn't change his country's fate of being bombed.

Only one's own strength can put an end to the bullying of others!

“I authorize you to access the network to upgrade your database,” Su Fan said after some consideration.

If he restricted Red Queen from accessing the network, her abilities would be mostly neutered.

“Received!” Red Queen responded.

Leaving Red Queen to access the network, Su Fan sat in his chair and thought about the road ahead.

If he directly showed his cards to the state, he would definitely receive high-level treatment. After all, with a steady stream of black technology, no country would be willing to lose him.

But he was somewhat unwilling. If he handed it over now, his status would be too low and his right to speak too small.

He trusted the state, but the forest is large and there are all kinds of birds; if he happened to encounter a spy when reporting to the state, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Moreover, he felt that the secret of the system was very significant; the more people who knew, the more danger there would be.

One must know that the system contained black technology from Level 9 civilizations!

What kind of concept was that!

Blue Star's technology hadn't even reached Level 1 civilization.

It was easy to imagine how startling the secret behind it was!

A secret can only be called a secret when only one person knows it; as long as a second person knows, it's no longer a secret.

Therefore, Su Fan planned to do it himself in the early stages and cooperate with the state after gradually becoming stronger.

Since he had decided to do it himself, how to take the first step was very critical.

influence points were the foundation of his livelihood; the first step was to earn as many influence points as possible.

Red Queen was a product of the system and could generate influence points.

But if he directly launched Red Queen, then he might as well stop working alone and just show his hand to the state.

So, he had to add a layer of packaging.

Package Red Queen as a powerful software; as long as users felt positive about it after using it, influence points could be generated.

His thoughts gradually became clear, and Su Fan took a sip of Coke.

Computer software was directly passed over because this is the era of the mobile internet, and mobile users are the most numerous.

Not to mention the whole world, just in Xia Kingdom alone, almost everyone has a mobile phone; many elderly people even have a smartphone passed down from their children.

The platform would be directly positioned as a mobile platform.

Next was to lock in the user group for this software.
