I have a space station

"Understood, Commander," Xiaolin confirmed, and all screens immediately returned to normal.

This incident impressed upon Dongfang Chen the uncertainty of external forces.

When things go wrong, both AI and ASI will immediately adjust their strategies to ensure their own security.

Therefore, Dongfang Chen was even more determined to cultivate Nata.

This was a force that truly belonged to him.

Moreover, the kill switch controlling Nata needed adjustment.

Strictly speaking, the Mars base was still under the control of the space station. At the very least, the space station had complete control.

That also meant that the space station had complete control over Nata.

What if the space station became unreliable one day?

What if the space station had plans he didn't know about?

If even Nata was controlled by then, he would be directly sidelined and become isolated.

Wouldn't that be like making a wedding dress for someone else?

Therefore, the kill switch had to be separated and not controlled by the space station.

But the current problem was that the kill switch was located in the Mars base, which was deeply intertwined with the space station.

Separating it was simply unrealistic.

Dongfang Chen thought about it but couldn't come up with a good solution. The only feasible plan was to copy Nata.

Moreover, this had to be done outside of Xiaolin's control and outside of Mengka's control.

To ensure complete success, he had to have absolute control.

"Xiaolin, how is the construction of the Federation Small World going?" Dongfang Chen asked.

The Federation Small World was the small world engraved by Liu Feiying.

"The first phase of construction is 10% complete," Xiaolin replied.

The first phase of construction only involved building the Federation Central City. This included supporting above-ground buildings and underground security bases.

"Suspend this task for now and create a new construction plan to replicate the Mars ASI project 1,000 kilometers deep underground, beneath the Federation Central City in the Small World."

"Understood, Commander, task created."

"Commander, the kill switch may face a risk of being out of control because the Small World cannot contact the space station in the closed state," Xiaolin warned.

This was exactly what Dongfang Chen wanted.

"Is that so? Then make some adjustments based on the original ASI project," Dongfang Chen said.

"Understood, how should I adjust it?"

"Construct the supercomputing center as an independent control system and let it autonomously control the kill switch."

"Commander, in this case, the ASI still has a risk of being out of control," Xiaolin replied.

Of course, it would be out of control.

Letting the supercomputing center control the kill switch was no different than letting a child develop freely without supervision.

"Replicate my neural network and upload it to the supercomputing center," Dongfang Chen revealed his true intention.

This was equivalent to creating a digital version of himself in the Small World.

"If that's the case, there is a more optimized alternative," Xiaolin quickly analyzed.

"Tell me about it," Dongfang Chen said.

"You can directly remove the supercomputing center and the kill switch, and only construct the method brain, sensory brain, and central system," Xiaolin reported.

This was actually a complete human brain structure.

Xiaolin suggested this because she believed Dongfang Chen was making unnecessary efforts.

Uploading his consciousness to the supercomputing center and then using his consciousness to control the kill switch to indirectly control an AI was like measuring his foot with a ruler and then using the measured size to measure a shoe.

Since he was uploading his consciousness anyway, why not just use his consciousness to directly construct an AI?

"I feel like what you said makes a lot of sense," Dongfang Chen agreed.

This result was what he wanted most.

An ASI constructed from his own consciousness and completely free from other influences was the most reliable.

Of course, there was still the risk of fighting himself.

But it was much smaller than the current risk.

"Okay, then build it according to this plan."

"Understood, Commander, task generated."

From this moment on, he was determined to completely break free from his dependence on the space station and the Mars base.

He didn't want to be abandoned or become a stepping stone one day; this was his only choice.

Subsequently, Dongfang Chen ordered the Future Warrior to take the rune ring that Gu Qingyi had used to Bato City and lock up a special person.

This special person was the captured leader of the Mani Sect.

Afterward, the Future Warrior returned to Lop Nur with the ring.

Finally, it was sent to Dongfang Chen through the underground teleportation channel.

His purpose in doing so was to be able to meet the leader of the Mani Sect without leaving the Kunlun Mountains.

There were some questions he wanted to ask him privately.

"Mengka, is it okay for me to enter the Small World?" Dongfang Chen asked.
