Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 885 - 114: The Evolution of Mechanical Logic

Perfikot carefully examined the design drawings and core construction of the Godslaying Armor, attempting to find the source of its autonomy.

After some analysis, she discovered that the Pure Divinity indeed enhanced the energy operation efficiency of the armor to a certain extent, but what truly granted it autonomy was the mechanical logic she iteratively upgraded.

Mechanical logic, being the first technology Perfikot acquired that was enough to change the world after traversing to this place, was also the technology she studied the most deeply.

The potential of this technology allowed her to see infinite possibilities, especially in this mysterious and dangerous world, where the application of mechanical logic could almost overturn the existing power systems.

Ever since she obtained this technology from the Jade Record, she had been delving into research, trying to push it to its limits.

It can be said that her first pot of gold was earned from the Jade Record—by applying mechanical logic to early alchemical devices and automation equipment, she quickly amassed wealth and resources, laying the foundation for subsequent research.

And precisely because of this, alongside the iterations of the Godslaying Armor, the technology itself was also continuously iterated and upgraded.

Perfikot never stopped exploring mechanical logic; she not only attempted to collaborate with Sanderion to create a miniature golem computer but also tried to combine mechanical logic with the golem computer to further upgrade it.

This combination not only improved computational efficiency but also greatly increased the carrying capacity of mechanical logic, allowing it to handle more complex instructions and tasks.

Through deeply integrating the core algorithms of mechanical logic and golem computer, Perfikot successfully created a new computing system, which could not only efficiently process massive data but also perform complex logical deductions in extremely short times.

The outcomes of this research were used not only to upgrade self-regulating robots in the Northern Territory and improve golem computers but also more importantly on the Godslaying Armor.

Every iteration of the Godslaying Armor accompanied a technological iteration upgrade of mechanical logic.

From the initial simple command execution to later semi-autonomous decision-making, and now to fully autonomous action, the evolution of mechanical logic played a decisive role.

It can be said that by now, this technology has been deduced by Perfikot to a rather complete and powerful degree, almost reaching the brink of intelligent awakening.

And the addition of Pure Divinity precisely pushed it to upgrade mechanical logic into Mechanical Mind.

The pure energy of Pure Divinity combined with the efficient computing power of mechanical logic produced a presence akin to "consciousness."

This prototype of the new Godslaying Armor already possessed intelligence equivalent to weak artificial intelligence, capable of self-thinking and problem-solving.

This discovery excited Perfikot; she realized she had touched upon a higher level of technology domain.

She decided to further optimize the Mechanical Mind and apply it to the new model of Godslaying Armor. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Meanwhile, Perfikot also planned to conduct a round of upgrade transformations for the mechanical logic of older models of Godslaying Armor.

The performance of the Godslaying Armor also led Perfikot to think about deeper issues.

If the combination of mechanical logic and Pure Divinity could produce autonomy, could this autonomy further develop and possibly surpass the current level of intelligence?

She began to research how to further enhance the potential of this autonomy without losing control.

And during this time of her deep research, the Floating City completed the annihilation of the old capital of France...

The artillery fire of the Floating City covered every corner of the city, leveling the surrounding slums completely, while also wiping this city off the map entirely.

Actually, after conducting large-scale sacrifices, there weren't many living people left in this old capital of France.

Subsequently, it experienced bombardment from the Floating City and strikes from the Godslaying Armor, and the city itself was already like a candle in the wind, on the verge of collapse.

Plus, with Major General Carter's order to conduct the final cleanup, naturally there wasn't much left of the entire city.

The cleanup troops conducted thorough searches and destruction of each area, ensuring no minions of the Evil God or lingering threats could survive.

Afterward, the Floating City moved under Major General Carter's order to Marsel, France's second-largest city.

After Victory occupied France, this city became the control center of Victory over France, or say, France's new capital.

Marsel had a favorable geographic location and convenient transportation, once an important city of France.

After the destruction of the capital, it became France's largest city, now completely occupied and transformed into the center to rule this country by the Victor Empire.

In the more than two years before the apocalypse winter arrived, the Victor Empire controlled all of France through this city, extracting the country's resources and manpower entirely to support the construction of the Northern Territory.

The factories in Marsel operated ceaselessly day and night, producing large quantities of materials and equipment, most of which were transported to the Northern Territory to resist the impending apocalypse winter.

Meanwhile, the people of France were suffering under the rule of the Empire; their labor fruits were cruelly plundered, and their living conditions progressively worsened.

After the apocalypse winter arrived, due to the carrying capacity of the Empire's home territory and the Northern Territory, the Empire's troops stationed in France did not retreat, continuing to occupy this city.

They continued the pre-apocalypse winter control over France, obtaining a large amount of resources through brutal exploitation of the French and exchanging them for precious resources to survive the apocalypse.

Food, fuel, medicines—these materials, incredibly precious in the apocalypse winter, were exchanged from the Northern Territory incessantly through the hard-exploited resources of the French.

Behind each piece of material were the blood and tears of the French.

They excavated minerals in severe cold, felled timber in snowstorms, and even ventured into dangerous wilderness at the risk of their lives, just to obtain resources rightfully theirs and then use them to purchase life-sustaining materials in Marsel.

The French wanted to survive, so they could only relentlessly mine resources and then use these resources to exchange for scant materials just to barely survive the apocalypse winter.

Their labor was ruthlessly exploited by the Empire, while the rewards they received were pathetically few.

A bag of grain might require days of hard labor from a family, a barrel of fuel might require risking the exploration into icy mines.

Even so, they had no other choice because not doing so meant death.

This cyclical exploitation plunged the lives of the French into endless misery.

Their bodies and spirits gradually collapsed in extreme fatigue, yet to survive, they could only continue gritting their teeth.

The rule of the Empire was like an invisible giant net, binding the entirety of France tightly, and Marsel was the center of this net.

Every movement of resources was another deprivation of the lives of the French.
