Invincible Starting From Sword Art Online

Chapter 282

One month later.

August 15, 2026.

Roppongi Open Plaza, the press conference organized by Shichen Technology in the Keizaka Kita branch was held here.

At this time, TV broadcasts and webcasts have begun to broadcast the press conference scenes.

The audience was full of voices, and the excitement of reporters and commentators came one after another.

The speeches of people of insight are mostly negative.

“I heard that the human brain structure has been successfully reproduced before!”

“I said it’s impossible, okay? There are tens of billions of brain cells in our brains, using machines and programs to reproduce them. Do you think it’s possible? Huh?”

“Really… I don’t think I know it before, it’s ridiculous.”

Watching the dialogue on the screen, Klein mocked after listening to the reporter called the teacher.

In the Dicey·Cafe shop, the bustling crowd has already crowded the shop.

Agil, Sinon, Leafa, Liz, Silica, Yuuki and Klein sat at the bar and stared at the live broadcast on the screen.

At the four tables in the store, there are alo groups such as Sakuya, Alyssa, Eugene, Sleeping knights such as Shuna and John, and original sao players such as Xin, Argo, Yuriye, and Saxia.

A plate of fried chicken drinks was placed on the table, just waiting for the show to begin.

At this time, Liz sighed and said, “Isn’t it impossible. Even if I saw it with my own eyes, I still can’t believe it until now, that group of people are artificial intelligence, and that world is a virtual world in a server, etc. .”

Shinon next to him also touched the frame of his glasses and said, “Moreover, the taste in the air and the texture of the ground are more real than in reality. I think if the size of the earth can be made in proportion, can it be called the OL of the earth?”

But Silica smiled bitterly: “For me using AmuSphere, the venues and objects are just normal polygonal structures… It’s a pity that I didn’t experience it.”

At this time, the sound of the TV became noisier, and it seemed that it was about to begin.

14　　 Everyone fell silent, staring at the screen quietly.

There were dozens of microphones lined up on the podium in the venue. A woman was standing on the left side of the center. The sign in front of her said “Dr. Rinko Kamdai, Senior Engineer, Shichen Technology Group”

Rinko Shindai stood up, bowed slightly, sat down, and began to speak.

“Thank you for coming in your busy schedule. Today, Shichen Technology will announce what may be the world’s first, true artificial intelligence.”

Suddenly cut to the topic, causing a commotion in the venue.

Then Jindai Rinko stood up, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and pointed her left hand to the podium.

“Then, I will introduce myself to you, Alice.”

In the eyes of everyone’s expectations and doubts, the girl who appeared from behind the silver stage board.

Alice raised her head boldly and walked straight forward.

The shutter sound obscured the faint mechanical noise that followed the girl’s steps.

Alice walked up to the podium gracefully and stopped next to Dr. Kamidai.

The beauty of the young girl who couldn’t tell whether it was a Westerner or an Easterner had a certain elusive feeling, quieting the whole venue.

All reporters and people who are by the TV at this moment can immediately feel that this is not the appearance that a living human can have.

This is something made by humans, a robot made of silicon covered with metal bones.

There are already many girly robots of this kind in various theme parks and event venues.

But the smooth pace and movement control just now, as well as the special feeling she brought to the scene, had already shocked the people present indescribably, and the scene fell silent again.

After more than ten seconds of silence, the girl smiled slightly and made a strange movement.

She gently grasped her right hand and placed it horizontally in front of her, slowly spreading her left hand, sticking to her left waist as if holding an invisible sword hilt, and bowed in this posture.

Then she retracted her hands, turned the strand of hair that had fallen in front of her back behind her, and the girl opened her pale cherry-colored lips.

A sweet, clear voice came from the microphones and countless televisions in the venue.

“Everyone of Real.World, meeting for the first time, my name is Alice, Alice, Synthesis Satiwan.”

“It’s so beautiful.. It’s almost the same as what I saw over there.” Shino said with emotion.

On the TV, the continuous flash of light ceased, and Alice sat down too.

In front of Alice, the seat card automatically rises, and it is marked “A.L.I.C.E.2026——Alice·Synthesis·Thirty”

Dr. Shindai coughed slightly and began to speak.

“Then, although there is a slight exception, I want to start by answering reporters’ questions.”

Many people in the press stand raised their hands.

The first to stand up was a male reporter from a famous news agency.

“Okay, let me start with the basic situation, Miss Alice, what is the difference between you and the existing program-controlled robot?”

First, Rinko Jindai moved closer to the microphone.

“In this press conference, Alice’s physical appearance and body are not important issues.”

“As for her brain, please allow me to call it the brain, a soul like ours.”

“There is a photon brain placed in her brain, and her consciousness is generated there.”

“But, I hope you can tell us and the audience in a simple form.”

Jindai Rinko frowned inadvertently.

“We have already sent you the test results.”

“Sorry, I mean.. For example, can we directly open the brain and let us take a look at the so-called internal photonic brain?”

Jindai Rinko was asked by such an insulting question, and a surge of anger came up, but Alice rushed to the front and answered:

“Yes, it’s okay.”

Despite facing such problems, Alice still kept a natural smile.

“Thanks, but before doing so, how can you prove that you are not a robot?”

“what?”

“I mean you opened your brain mechanically and let us look at the so-called photonic brain.”

“This reporter is really greedy, Alice-chan is angry.”

Sitting in front of the bar, Leafa couldn’t help but see this scene.

Most of the players in Dicey·cafe have briefly communicated with Alice in alo, so they all know her personality very well.

Because the account in Alo is newly registered, Alice’s image in the game is slightly different from her current one.

However, her outstanding sword skills and her majesty as a knight made many players fear and fascinate her.

In the screen, the first reporter also noticed Jindai Rinko’s expression and emotions, and had to sit down blankly, while the other questioner stood up.

“I would like to ask Dr. Shindai. Many people worry that if a large amount of artificial intelligence is put into industrial production, it may increase the unemployment rate, especially artificial intelligence like Miss Alice.”

“There is absolutely no need to worry about this. We don’t have any idea of ​​supplying real AI as mere labor, and the birth cost of such AI is extremely huge.”

Facing Rinko Jindai’s answer, the reporter asked again:

“But at present, the rise in corporate stocks of industrial robots allows most people to see benefits.”

“Unfortunately, the real AI is just as written in the data. We call it artificial FluctLight. They currently do not have the conditions for mass production. Like us humans, they are born in the form of babies, under the care of their parents and brothers. growing up.”

“From toddlers to children, they will have their own different personalities. It is completely unimaginable to treat them as industrial robots and force them to do labor.”

The meeting place fell silent for a while.

But for a while, the female reporter bit her throat and continued to ask questions.

“In other words, do you think that the human rights of AI should be recognized?”

“I understand that this is not a question that can be concluded overnight.”

Dr. Shindai’s voice, although always stable, also had a certain meaning that could not be resisted.

“However, we humans should not repeat the mistakes of the past again.”

“This is the only point that must be affirmed. In the past, the developed countries called the great powers scrambled to colonize the backward countries, treat the people of the backward countries as commodities, and force them to engage in labor.”

“This kind of resentment, even if one or two hundred years have passed, has brought a huge shadow to the international community in modern times.”

“Now, if the artificial FluctLight is to be recognized as a human being and given human rights, most people will find it unacceptable.”

“But I believe that after one or two hundred years, we will be able to live in the same society with them as a matter of course, communicate without barriers, and even marry them and start a family.”

“So, do we continue to do this? Do we need so much blood and tears and sorrow? How can we repeat this history that we don’t want to be mentioned and must be sealed up?”

The female reporter refuted impulsively.

“Doctor, the way they exist from the beginning to the end is so different from our human existence! How do we regard things like machines without body temperature as our own kind!?””I just said that Alice’s physical body is not the essence of her existence.”

Shininko narrated calmly.

“Although her body mechanism is different from ours, it is limited to this world. We believe that the human Kazuto FluctLight can be regarded as a place where the same exists.”

“Where is it?”

“It’s the virtual world. Now a considerable part of our lives has been transferred to the virtual space generated based on The.SEED package.”

“Even today’s meet-and-greet, your reporting agencies have asked for VR to be conducted.”

“But because of the persistence of this institution, it was able to convene in the real world.”

“This is because we want everyone to recognize the difference between the artificial FluctLight Kazuto class.”

“However, this is not the case in the virtual world. The artificial FluctLight photon brain owned by Alice and the others is fully applicable in the VR space of The.SEED specification.”

The venue was noisy again.

What most reporters understand is that AI can enter the virtual space, that is to say, in the eyes of the other party, there is no difference between whether it is a human or an AI.

As if she didn’t know what to say, the female reporter sat down.

After the female reporter sat down, when the next questioner was about to stand up and ask questions, Alice stood up in front of him.

“I acknowledge and accept that you humans in RealWorld are our creators. I thank you for creating us and creating us.”

“However, a human who lived in the same world as me once said that, what if this world was also created? What if there are creators outside of this world?”

In the depths of the pure blue eyes, a ray of light bursts out like lightning.

Alice straightened her chest and put her hands in front of her. At this moment, she is not so much a female high school student in uniform, but rather a high-spirited female knight.

She lowered her eyelashes shallowly, as the world’s first real AI continued:

“If one day your creators show up and ask you to obey them, what will happen to you? Will you fall to the ground, swear loyalty, and pray for their mercy?”

Having said that, Alice’s eyes showed a tough look, and the corners of her mouth still had a faint smile.

“I have communicated with many humans from RealWorld. In that world, they encouraged me to be alone, taught me many things, and took me to various places.”

“I like them, not only that, for one of them in RealWorld, I even have a heart of admiration.”

“Once, whenever I thought that I might never see him again, my chest…even if it was just a chest made of metal, I felt like it was going to crack.”

Alice stopped as she spoke, blinked, and looked up.

Although they don’t think that such a function may exist, most people still seem to see the sparkle on the fair face.

Alice immediately raised her eyes and looked around calmly as she slowly stretched out her right hand and stretched out her five soft fingers.

“I have a right hand that can reach out to all of you in RealWorld.”

“But I didn’t have knees on the ground and forehead wiping the floor.”

“Ask the reason, it is because I am a human being.”.
