Chapter 1673 – [A Guide for Families Who Travel Across Dimensions]

First, the one-sided argument between Eve and [Teardrop] Was stopped in the middle.

I would have liked to have stopped it from the beginning, but even with the same artificial intelligence, they talked about differences in values, and on the other hand, it was something that Eve, the senior, taught to her junior, so it was impossible to stop it at all.

In terms of the activation period itself, [Teardrop] Would be much better. The technology at the time of first development was also superior. Although Eve created Zion as the foundation, she was ultimately born on Earth.

However, Eve is superior in terms of completeness as artificial intelligence. This is because it is not simply a matter of time, but an important matter of how mentally mature you are and how much you have grown by seeing and learning various things.

On the other hand, it also meant that [Teardrop] Did not grow at all despite spending several times longer than Eve.

“I haven’t grown at all…”

“Are you a teacher? Don’t gossip there.”

It’s quite ironic that a paradise is left behind as a child managed by artificial intelligence that hasn’t grown up yet.

Still, it’s not the worst. [Teardrop] Simply chose maximum efficiency for survival, and that choice cannot be criticized. As he said, in the end, all values ​​lose their meaning in the face of survival.

Because I am merciful to people whose humanity has been tested by being entangled in the problem of survival, such as those who resorted to cannibalism to survive. What’s more important is that [Teardrop] Has room for reflection.

If we purify this planet and make it habitable again, we can become an artificial intelligence that can affirm and coordinate human growth and development. Then what is good? Honestly, what I’ve done so far is bad, but it’s not the worst, so I can’t just criticize it.

After visiting this place, Eve and I went back to Horizon and told this story. Each person shows interest in various ways.

“Hmm, they are using virtual reality and augmented reality in combination. It is quite interesting. First, there is a lot to talk about in Horizon regarding virtual reality, but augmented reality is not used that much.”

“Now that I think about it, that’s right. Why is it like that?”

“Even if virtual reality itself is fully established and accessible, isn’t augmented reality something we use on a daily basis in reality? Would you be able to always wear augmented reality lenses or other equipment?”

“Oh, that’s not right.”

What can I say, it’s just a matter of taste. To be honest, it’s annoying, and there are times when I just feel better than any other augmented reality support.

Even if I were reincarnated in a cyberpunk-like world, I wouldn’t get anything like implant surgery unless it was minimal. Well, maybe it’s because my body and abilities are stronger than those things, but anyway.

Horizon is Zion’s, but because Zion doesn’t suit my tastes, there are some technologies that are slow to develop. Just as people are ignorant of areas they are not interested in… Ultimately, this is because of me.

“But, all we have to do is take the data and other things here and apply it. Then we will be able to invite the children over there to our horizon.”

“Invitation?”

“Wouldn’t it be good to introduce our Horizon to children who have lived in such a place their whole lives? And there are many things to do in our Horizon.”

“Oh, do you think you can eat too? No, it would be better if you come out and eat it with your own mouth.”

“There will be no problem with that. I’m relatively poor at augmented reality technology because I’m not interested in it, but your dad is strict when it comes to cooking. There are numerous ingredients and recipes registered in Horizon, and you can cook or eat them yourself if you want.”

“But it’s still better if Dad cooks.”

“That’s because your cooking skills cannot be measured by a computer. I once tried to research each dish, but when I saw how much percent of Horizon’s total computing resources were needed to analyze a single dish, I got bored and quit.”

“You can cook at the molecular level with persimmons, but that level can be calculated, so it’s probably they will part.”

“This is why the transcendent is scary. Will is something that cannot be fully understood even with advanced science and technology.”

“What are you talking about when you are a transcendental species that is close to the peak?”

“Anyway.”

Pure will is a power in itself and an all-purpose weapon that can do anything you want. God’s miracles, such as reviving the dead or creating stars, are all possible with just the will.

And as such, it is not easy to analyze or do anything like that. Even if Sion, a Hanon that cannot be matched by scientific technology, tries to research it, it takes a huge amount of time and resources and there is no guarantee that it will produce results.

Anyway, this time, she and her family all went down to [Paradise]. On the one hand, we plan to look around and see things, and on the other hand, we plan to inform the children, who are like frogs in the well, about our visit.

“It’s a paradise without any adults… It’s so strange.”

“Even artificial intelligence hasn’t grown, so it’s true that there are no adults.”

“Once I get down there, Eve and I are going to check the status of the main server and the children’s bodies. They say there are fewer side effects than frozen humans, but if we look for them, there will be problems, so we’ll have to work on that part.”

“It’s an important facility. Are you going to let me in?”

“I’ve already told you everything.”

“You’re quick on your feet. No, [Teardrop] Is an artificial intelligence, so it’s flexible.”

Even though one side is overwhelmingly superior and has enough technology and power to not need to be deceived, it is only unreasonable intelligence that fights back. Since the other person is a machine, they act rationally when they communicate.

Moreover, they say they will come out friendly and help us. Unless you’re a fool, you should accept it.

Afterward, everyone heads to [Paradise] Together. We’ve been there once, so this time we entered through a dimension, so we didn’t have to endure the polluted atmosphere of the planet, and since we talked about it separately, we were greeted by the robot body used by [Teardrop], Which we had seen before.

-Welcome. Welcome to other first time visitors. I am the person in charge here. It is called [Teardrop].

“Nice to meet you!!!! But where is D-Gazer?”

-I don’t know what D-Gazer is, but if it’s an augmented reality device for guests, here it is. Please put on your power and follow me.

“This was the Xyz dimension!!!! Building an overlay network with two sheets!!!!”

“What on earth is a duel?”

“It’s nothing, but it’s also everything.”

[Then, wouldn’t it be possible to take the augmented reality technology from here and use it in Dual City over there?]

“… Huh?”

“This is such a fucking stupid idea. Let’s do it right now.”

“Domino City is still under construction, so are you adding Heartland City to it? The budget will be several times more, but… If not at a time like this, when else would you spend the money? We will have to get started as soon as we get back.”

“What on earth are you doing…”

Come to think of it, Dual City was still under construction. It may seem like it will take quite a long time, but in the first place, we are building a small city and using it as if it were a theme park. Fortunately, Duelist Kingdom is a small island, but since it is larger, it was natural that it would take years.

But it looks like it’s not far from completion. Why is everyone in my house so serious about dueling?

“Because he’s a duelist (nods).”

“Dad, I understand, but what’s the point? Anyway, let’s move, I’ll wait for the kids.”

The place we were guided to by [Teardrop] Was a huge but empty concert hall. However, once the augmented reality glasses were put on, the audience immediately filled up.

It seems that not only the children who are survivors, but also NPCs who act as their guardians came together one by one. Nevertheless, the number of children appears to be approximately 100,000, and it seems that the remaining number of people are watching or watching differently.

“Hello!!!!”

“Wow!!! They are very pretty sisters!!!!!!”

“Hey, hey, hey, they say they came from outer space. Is that really true? Are you an alien?!”

“Wow!!!!!”

“Spaceship!!! I want to see the spaceship!!!!!”

Even in kindergartens where there are at most dozens of children, if each child says a word, it becomes so noisy that it is difficult for the teacher to cover it alone.

But what would it be like for children of that age, who are bursting with curiosity, to encounter outsiders for the first time in their lives, especially us aliens? It is so noisy that you have to set it separately on the augmented reality equipment to reduce the sound.

The guardian NPC next to me tried to stop me, but there was nothing I could do. There are 100,000 kids in sight right now, but wouldn’t it be strange if they were quiet?

Even though it was her first time using it, Eden set up the augmented reality settings and soon started shouting so that the entire concert hall could hear her like she was using a loudspeaker or microphone.

“It’s okay!!!!!!!”

“Why are you greeting me like that?! How are you supposed to educate the kids?!?!?!”

“Well, it’s just a greeting. Anyway, hello guys~~!!!! My name is Choi Eden!!! I’m from a very distant universe over there!!!! Nice to meet you~~~!!!!”〈 Br〉

“Nunaaaaa!!!!”

“Sister!!! Sister!!!!”

“Wow!!!!”

“Hello, sister!!!!”

First, the noise was the same, but at least the kids’ attention was focused on Eden. Eden tells him about the various plans we have made.

“Aren’t you guys curious about what the spaceship we came on is like? Anyone who wants to visit!!!”

“Me!!!! Me!!!!”

“Me!!! Nana!!! Nana!!!!”

“Me too!!! I want to go too!!!!”

“Wow!!!! Me too!! I want to see a spaceship too!!!!!”

Haha, that’s bullshit.

Still, Eden guided the children relatively well. Through the greeting, he turned the attention to himself, and the attention that was focused on himself, was diverted to the spaceship we came on… It was a dimensional navigation ship to be exact, but he turned it to Horizon anyway.

In a way, it is understandable that [Teardrop] Left the children without growing up. Aren’t children able to guide and control actions that are obvious and meaningless to adults?

Well, I don’t know if you’re too pushy and angry, but at least you’re better than an adult. Because there is a difference between deceiving a child and deceiving an adult.

“Then let’s sleep for three nights!!!! Let’s meet my sister on the spaceship, go to the amusement park in our spaceship, see the dinosaur museum, and ride a robot!!! And let’s eat something delicious together!!!!”

“”””Wow!!!!!””””

Thanks to this, introduction and exit were relatively easy for the children. Actually, the only one introduced was Eden, but if I were to introduce myself one by one here now, it would be even more messy, so it would be better to do it separately later.

Now that work is over, it’s time to do personal business. Shion and Eve were planning to tag along to inspect the children’s protection facility and main computer in the main tower.

“It’s not that I hate kids, I like them, but when there are that many, I actually feel rejected… Am I bad?”

“No matter how much you like, if you force it into hundreds of thousands of dollars, you won’t like it. But Mary, did you like children?”

“To be exact, I like being crowded with kids. Because I had older brothers.”

Well, it might be nice to spend every day bustling and noisy with many brothers bickering among themselves. It is said that it is better for a child to grow up with siblings rather than an only child.

When I think about that, my family is really nice. It’s a bit weird because I’m the only guy, but whatever.

After completing the introduction, we headed straight to the main tower in the center of [Paradise]. However, [Paradise] Is a structure so large that it can be seen from space, and the interior space is large. It is too far to walk from the performance hall to the main tower, so you have to take a separate vehicle.

The ride was like a futuristic car that flew without wheels, but the ride was quite comfortable. I was able to get to the main tower comfortably.

“It’s huge when you look at it up close.”

“It’s protecting hundreds of thousands of people, so of course it’s big.”

“It feels like I’m looking at a large lunch box…”

“Hey, hey.”

“I’m kidding.”

“When Bloodier says something like that, it doesn’t sound like a joke.”

The appearance of the main tower when you enter… Uh, what should I say. It’s a scene I feel like I’ve seen before somewhere.

The children’s bodies were stored motionless in a vat filled with an unknown liquid. And there are hundreds of thousands of such containers. Since it is stored so tightly, it is a majestic yet cruel sight.

“I saw this in The Matrix!!!!! John Wick is Neo!!!!!”

“Mom prefers Constantine as the lead actor.”

When you see Eden doing the actor’s drip without being mentally affected even after seeing this, you’d think he has a really strong mentality, but that’s usually not the case.

No matter how happy they are and how well they live without any shortcomings, it is like seeing without a filter the sight of children living as ordinary brains under the management of artificial intelligence. Usually, if you see this, and it doesn’t affect you in any way, you either don’t have the ability to empathize… Or you have hope because there is a better future. It’s probably one of the two.

Of course, Eden does that because she is the latter. Now we’re going to restore the planet and go out and rebuild humanity again. If that’s not a happy future, what can it be?

“Oh, that’s right. [Teardrop] Oh, do you have any cooking or related information? If you have it, please share it. My father and I are very interested in the food culture of other planets.”

“When I think about it, that’s right. I didn’t think about that because I was looking at augmented reality.”

Cuisines from completely different environments and cultures are subjects of interest. Korea’s Budae Jjigae has a history of originating from oatmeal, which was eaten during the Korean War. What about here? It will be fun to find and make each of those dishes.

Moreover, there may be some unique food ingredients here… These ingredients may no longer be available because the environment is already ruined, but since we have Eden and Kether, all we have to do is extract the genetic data from Gaia Records and make it.

-There is information about food. After inspection, we will send related data to Horizon.

“Hmm? Is the translation strange? Food, not cooking?”

-Due to limitations in data storage, cooking or cooking-related information that is not very helpful has been deleted, leaving only information about the finished food and its taste. Even so, you can still taste it, so there’s no problem, right?

In [Teardrop]’S view, cooking is inefficient. The story below is that kids live in a virtual reality, and they don’t have to eat at all, and eating is just for simple pleasure, but you can get a rough idea of ​​it by looking at him considering efficiency.

Of course, you need to have good eating habits for the future, so you will eat, but only eat, not cook. This means skipping the middle process of putting in effort.

If you look at it, you can see why Diavolo, who uses King Crimson and only pursues results regardless of the process, is a disgusting evil person. Suddenly, I wonder if it’s Jojo’s drip, but the metaphor fits perfectly.

“Apocalypse…!!!!”

“My daughter, who was fine even after seeing a scene like the Matrix, is now shocked.”

“Honestly, I was shocked too.”

A world where there is no cooking and only food.

I’ve seen many post-apocalyptic worlds, but as a chef, this one feels like hell.
