Immortal, My Desperate Journey at 40k

Chapter 702: Federal Citizens
A huge Thunderhawk gunboat slowly moored on the square in front of the administrative center of this world. On this square, a large number of troops from this world were already waiting for the arrival of the aliens. They were wearing fully enclosed power armor like the standard equipment of the first generation of mortal auxiliary forces, but holding federal plasma rifles in their hands.

Behind them, a large number of armored forces also surrounded the square. The humans in this world were still wary of the aliens. Even though their rulers had told them that the aliens were also human and had lost contact with the main human civilization for thousands of years, they actually no longer had much sense of belonging to the legendary Human Federation.

Some people even think that this world means everything to them, and even think that they are the only humans left in the entire galaxy. However, the arrival of aliens finally made them understand that it turns out that they are not the only human world left. In the brilliant starry sky, there are still humans, and an entire fleet of the Human Federation has arrived in their world, which proves that the Human Federation still exists.

"I am the commander-in-chief of the Human Federation's First Recovery Fleet. I request to speak with your rulers. The Human Federation will recover this world, and this world will be brought back under the jurisdiction of human civilization."

Wang Ming looked at the humans in front of him. He was very satisfied with the humans in this world. They all looked very normal, without any mutant features, except that some of them had pointed ears. Wang Ming had also seen this situation before. The ancestors of these guys were definitely those guys with special fetishes. The blood of these guys was definitely mixed with the blood of the elves. They were not pure humans but could be classified as sub-humans.

"I am the ruler of this world. Children, put down your weapons. You are the distinguished guests of our world."

Just after Wang Ming said this to the soldiers, a person suddenly came from behind them. The person looked very strange, like a man and a woman, with a neutral appearance, but exuding a very strange feeling, as if he was not a real human being, but a machine in human skin. The language he spoke to Wang Ming was English, which Wang Ming could understand and communicate with normally.

As for this thing, Wang Ming actually has a very familiar person who is also like this. Zhou Heng's appearance also shows an abnormal feeling due to genetic modification and a large number of nano-surgeries, as if they are a thing rather than a real human being or a real life. Could it be that the guy in front of him is also a soldier of the biological enhancement force?

"No, even if it's Zhou Heng, I can see the ups and downs of his breathing. This guy doesn't even have any breathing at all. He's not a human being at all."

After Wang Ming observed him carefully for a while, he finally discovered the difference of this person. Even a biologically enhanced warrior like Zhou Heng would breathe subconsciously due to human instinct, but the guy in front of him had no such reaction at all. This guy was not a human being at all. Compared to a human being, he was more like a machine.

“Iron man!”

After a second of thinking, Wang Ming suddenly figured out the identity of the thing in front of him. This was an iron man, an iron man from the era of the Human Federation, an iron man who ruled the human world!
Wang Ming looked at the iron man in front of him, and he suddenly became alert in front of this iron man. The time travelers also noticed Wang Ming's vigilance, and they subconsciously reached out for the grenade launchers hanging on their bodies. But at the moment when they reached out for the grenade launchers, several figures in this world's army suddenly raised their weapons. They stared at the time travelers with great vigilance, and they had discovered the actions of these time travelers.

These people are not genetically modified soldiers, but rely on implants to achieve such terrifying reaction speed. In this world, although there are remnants of the Federation's biological enhancement forces, the mainstream elite forces in this world are still those soldiers who have undergone mechanical modification. These soldiers have a large number of mechanical modification implants on their bodies, and the combat effectiveness of each one cannot be underestimated. Some powerful soldiers can even fight with the New Astartes.

"You should have guessed my identity. I am not a human being, but I am a federal citizen. I am a legal artificial intelligence."

The thing in front of Wang Ming looked at Wang Ming, the blue light in his eyes flashed a few times, and then he told Wang Ming his identity. He admitted his identity as artificial intelligence, but also explained his identity as a citizen of the Human Federation. He was a special existence. He was not one of those rebellious iron men, but a citizen of the Human Federation who was always loyal to the Human Federation.

"Oh? AI, do you know that history?"

Wang Ming looked at the artificial intelligence in front of him, and waved to the time travelers, asking them to let down their guard. The time travelers' vigilance didn't matter, because most of the troops surrounding them were mortals. Even if they attacked the time travelers, Wang Ming had enough confidence to end the battle within a minute, even with the addition of those armored forces.

"I know. So, you seem to be wary of me. Commander-in-chief of the fleet, I am not a traitor. I have always been protecting the humans in this world. Even though my management method is a bit extreme, it is also a necessary sacrifice to keep more humans alive."

After the artificial intelligence heard Wang Ming's words, he nodded to Wang Ming, and then answered Wang Ming's questions in a very polite manner. Wang Ming thought his politeness was a bit too much. Compared with those artificial intelligences on the fleet, the artificial intelligence in front of him was obviously smarter. His emotional intelligence was no different from that of a normal human being. He even knew how to judge the situation better than a normal human being.

Every sentence he spoke put himself in a very humble position, because he knew that his identity was sensitive. He also subtly emphasized that he recognized the legitimacy of the Human Federation's rule over the planet, indicating that this world still belonged to the Human Federation and was not his private property.

"You've done a great job. Next, let's take a look at the situation in the world you rule, okay? This is related to the Federation's reform and management model for this world. You should understand that this is just a simple assessment."

Wang Ming looked at the artificial intelligence in front of him, and a very strange feeling appeared in his heart. Except for a few artificial intelligences that he was familiar with, he actually had a certain rejection of these artificial intelligences in the Federation, because he didn't know how loyal those artificial intelligences in the Federation were. Although their loyalty had been locked in their system, they had seen those rebellious artificial intelligences, and they still had some grudges in their hearts. But now, when Wang Ming faced this artificial intelligence that had worked diligently for humans for nearly 20,000 years, he put down his guard against this artificial intelligence. No matter what, this world has existed for nearly 20,000 years because of the existence of this artificial intelligence. Even if this guy really has some different ideas about them, that is a matter for the future. As long as it does not harm the existence of humans in this world, everything can be discussed.

"Okay, Commander. Please follow me to the administrative center of this world. I will provide you with the management model of this world and the real-time situation of this world in the form of documents."

The artificial intelligence nodded towards Wang Ming and made a gesture of invitation. Its movements were very natural, just like a real human being. Wang Ming followed him directly to the administrative center of this world. There was no need for him to make enemies with this artificial intelligence. After all, the management of this world was still in the hands of this artificial intelligence. If it needed to make threats or use the humans in this world to gain some benefits, Wang Ming, to be honest, didn't have much of a way. It was better to just go along with it.

By the way, let's take a look at the loyalty of this artificial intelligence in this world to the Human Federation. After Wang Ming followed this artificial intelligence to the administrative center of this world, those time travelers did not follow Wang Ming. They stayed in the square like the soldiers of those troops in this world. Some time travelers also took advantage of this time to communicate with the soldiers of this world and learn about the specific situation of this world.

"You were speaking Latin before, or at least a variant of Latin. It doesn't seem to be your native language. Does your sector or fleet prefer this language?"

As Wang Ming followed the artificial intelligence to the administrative center of this world, the artificial intelligence actually took the initiative to talk to Wang Ming. He asked Wang Ming about the Gaogote language that Wang Ming had spoken before. He looked at Wang Ming's face and felt that the language should not be Wang Ming's mother tongue.

"Yes, this language is indeed not my native language. It is just that the star region I am in prefers it. For the convenience of management, I habitually use this language. My fleet's language preference is not this language, but Chinese."

Wang Ming looked at the artificial intelligence beside him. He felt that it was becoming more and more like a human. But it made sense. This artificial intelligence had evolved in the human world for tens of thousands of years, so it was normal for it to understand human emotions.

"Then you should be Chinese. Your post-disaster handling capabilities and management models have always been very strong, which can also reassure me."

After hearing Wang Ming's answer, the artificial intelligence actually made a humane gesture of relief. At the same time, the face that was obviously artificial gave Wang Ming a not-so-natural smile.

"I don't know your name yet. What's your surname?"

After learning Wang Ming's identity, this artificial intelligence immediately began to communicate with the company in Wang Ming's preferred language. At the same time, his tone changed, and his way of speaking became more like that of a Chinese person.

"No need to be so polite, my last name is Wang, Wang Ming, what about you?"

Wang Ming looked at the artificial intelligence that suddenly changed its speaking style. It seemed that this guy had an EQ that was a bit too high. After knowing his identity, he immediately changed his language and way of speaking. With such social skills, it was no wonder that he could obtain the status of a citizen of the Human Federation.

"My name is Coulson, Commander Wang, and I am the eleventh generation artificial intelligence of Liming Heavy Industries."

The artificial intelligence also told Wang Ming about his origins. He was an artificial intelligence manufactured by a company called Liming Heavy Industries. In fact, he had another identity. After he was manufactured by Liming Heavy Industries, he was immediately put into use. However, he was not used on the fleet like those military artificial intelligences or those civilian artificial intelligences, but was used for urban management in this world.

While he was managing the cities in this world, due to his initial management ability and his learning of interpersonal relationships, he became the first artificial intelligence in the history of the Human Federation to have a legal identity in the Human Federation and to be treated equally with a normal human being. He was also recommended by the humans in this world to the position of manager of this world. Due to his outstanding work ability and corresponding anti-locking measures, the government officials of the Human Federation and the managers of large companies in this world did not pay too much attention to this artificial intelligence.

This situation continued until the Iron Man Rebellion. When this world learned of the Iron Man Rebellion, it immediately sent all of its fleets to support the main fleet of the Human Federation. During this period of time, this artificial intelligence was also closely monitored. However, not long passed. When the chaos of the Iron Man Rebellion ended, the humans of the world suddenly found that they could not contact the Human Federation at all, and the ships sent by various companies to contact them were lost in the subspace one by one and never returned.

The world gradually began to fall into a state of anarchy and chaos. After this chaos emerged, some people suddenly thought of the artificial intelligence that had been imprisoned and controlled. They awakened the artificial intelligence, hoping that it could bring order to the world again. This artificial intelligence did complete this task, and worked diligently for thousands of years.
