Chapter 1145 - 323: Personality Core_4
The complexity gap between them, in Chen Ming’s view, is like comparing himself two years ago to his current self.
Furthermore, there is a part within this Personality Core that even the current Chen Ming cannot understand at all.
An electronic structure complicated to the extreme.
The electrical signals operating inside it leave Chen Ming dizzy when observed with Spiritual Energy, unable to discern the significance of each structure.
It’s as if a brain is placed before Chen Ming, and while he knows he’s using this brain, he cannot comprehend the principles of its operation.
No, this metaphor seems somewhat inappropriate.
Because Chen Ming realized that he seems to no longer need something like a brain.
But the idea is roughly the same.
In front of Chen Ming within the Personality Core is an unbelievably complex electronic brain.
Chen Ming is utterly incapable of conducting any in-depth research on it.
It doesn’t belong to the same era as anything Chen Ming has encountered so far.
Right now, it’s okay that Chen Ming can’t figure it out; he’ll have time and ability to study it gradually later.
Moreover, it’s not as if the Personality Core would be useless without research.
The functionality of the Personality Core itself is quite valuable.
It can serve as the core of a Mother Ship and as the central control core in the early expansion of the Mechanical Race.
This core is key for the Mechanical Race to oversee this outpost and begin constructing around it.
Therefore, its value is actually similar to that of an Insect Queen.
The Insect Queen needs to coordinate the expansion of Insect Race individuals,
while the Personality Core of the Mechanical Race needs to coordinate the expansion of its subordinate individuals.
After all, both the Insect Race and the Mechanical Race follow a hive mind, and a hive mind always requires a collective main consciousness, an Insect Queen.
Chen Ming right now has two Hive Mind Networks linked to his consciousness, the Insect Race and the Mechanical Race.
The Insect Race is currently orchestrated by an Insect Queen.
Chen Ming himself has to handle everything for the Mechanical Race.
Especially since the early developments after the recent Mechanical Race migration to a neighboring Planet all have to be managed by Chen Ming, which is quite troublesome.
And now, with the Mechanical Race’s war on the brink of eruption, he needs to devote even more effort to ensuring the safety of these Mechanical Race individuals.
If he could have something akin to an Insect Queen, a "Mechanical Queen," it would make many things simpler.
Although this wouldn’t change the likelihood that Chen Ming’s Mechanical Race outpost could be attacked by the Mechanical Race.
But having a helper to handle things is certainly better than him having to personally monitor everything all the time.
Additionally, when considering the uses of the Personality Core, Chen Ming suddenly thought of a question.
That is, his Spiritual Energy can provide the most standard name for anything, even if Chen Ming has never encountered it before.
And this name, the "Personality Core," isn’t that a bit problematic?
What is personality?
It’s a concept related to "humanity."
And as relics of the Shimmering Civilization, why would the cores of the Mechanical Race have a human-related concept?
Chen Ming doesn’t understand, but he can sense it.
This question undeniably touches upon the most critical aspect of the Shimmering Civilization.
But this isn’t Chen Ming’s research path, nor is it within the scope of his knowledge.
To clear this up, he’d need to visit the Shimmering Civilization Research Institute.
But this isn’t in his plan, and he simply doesn’t have time to study the Shimmering Civilization.
So, he can only temporarily add this matter to his agenda and wait for an appropriate opportunity to verify it.
And after understanding the uses of the Personality Core,
Chen Ming decisively placed it where his Mechanical Race is now settled.
It’s different from an Insect Queen.
An Insect Queen possesses its own consciousness, whereas it is just a program.
Although this program is very flexible, it remains just a program, only capable of acting according to Chen Ming’s orders.
Of course, for ease of reference, Chen Ming still gave it a name.
Just what he had thought of earlier: "Mechanical Queen."
To help himself manage everything related to the Mechanical Race.
After the Personality Core was dispatched,
Chen Ming considered his mission accomplished for this operation.
Then next...
Chen Ming redirected his attention back to the information about the Mechanical Race.
There, a Cruiser he had left behind continued to wander the Star System.
Even though Chen Ming has handed over command of the small fleet to the Legion,
and has withdrawn several Alpha Cores,
he certainly cannot completely ignore the situation in this Star System.
As Qiu Bowen previously mentioned, this Star System holds many things of considerable value to the Legion.
And, of course, these things hold the same value for Chen Ming.
