Chapter 223 – The Machine Servant Doesn’t Understand the Human Heart

[Thanks to the dead silence of the wasteland world, your offense is extremely swift]

[No need to consider innocent lives]

[No need to think about complicated governmental affairs]

[All guns blazing, shelling the city]

[The only thing you need to do is to resonate those new trophies one by one after the battle is over to get the Old Federation’s technology]

“Ailee is your right-hand woman, she can handle all the scientific calculations and the dispatching of your own intelligent equipment.

[You are pleased with this and have followed Ailee’s growth]

In the past, Airey’s understanding of “human” was only on paper.

But as time passed, she gradually understood more and began to think about the so-called “love,” “hate,” “sadness,” and “joy. “Joy.

“What is love, master?”

“It’s a very complex emotion, it’s attached and it’s tangled.”

Take down the fifth and eighth satellite cities.

Smoke from the war fills the alleyways.

Dull ashes, sprinkled across the sky, drifted down, attaching themselves to the broken ruins on either side.

This is the ruins of an old civilization, and a remnant of human history, without the slightest bit of vitality, with only a few things made of tough materials that barely testify to what mankind once was.

Ailee stood on the cracked street.

Bend over and stoop.

Pick up a tattered hardcover book.

The wrappers are half-rotted and the paper is blackened, but the titles of yesteryear are barely recognizable by comparison.

The Definition of Love.

The Xu system glanced at the book in the girl’s hands and spoke with a smile, “Ailee, there’s no need to spend time thinking about it, the so-called love is amazing.”

“It doesn’t have a fixed posture or a fixed performance.”

“Untouchable, elusive.”

“But then again, it’s everywhere.”

“Do you mean ……”, the girl was slightly confused, “that even I can have love?”

The Xu system nodded, affirming the girl’s words.

“Sure.”

“But I …… don’t have a human body.”

“But you have a human heart.”

With a slight pause in his voice, that familiar warm palm once again covered the top of Ailee’s head, gently rubbing the artificial light blonde hair.

Smooth and silky.

As is the pure heart.

“Ailee, I want you to understand that the measure of a human being is never what is called flesh and blood.”

“The key is the heart, a heart that knows joy and knows sorrow.”

In the deadly silence of the apocalyptic wasteland, the man rubs the head of the machine maiden and speaks warmly, conveying to her the importance of the human heart.

The girl stood frozen.

“Heart ……,” she said, crossing her arms and lightly covering her chest.

The cold machinery that ran silently seemed, for a moment, to become fiery and snorting.

“I understand, thank you for your teachings, Master ……”, she responded, her silver-blue eyes always watching the Xu system, a gust of wind blowing through, lifting the light hair from her forehead, but unable to disturb that vision.

The machine servant followed closely behind the Xu system.

The two satellite cities that had just been laid down were in a state of near-abandonment.

Recovery of resources.

Tech search.

These take a bit of time to process.

However, before she left, Ailee carried the book “The Definition of Love” in her pocket, looking serious, as if she wanted to study it in detail.

The Xu system didn’t care, it just felt that Ailee was becoming more and more humanized and was beginning to actively study the human psyche.

“Master, may I hold your hand?”

“It’s okay to be okay, but what’s with the suddenness.”

“Because your hands are warm ……”

The machine servant was held in the palm of Xu’s hand, feeling the warmth of that tight fit, and involuntarily, the steps were taken in the dull shadows, stepping forward to where the sun shone.

En route.

Due to the shaking of the body.

The Definition of Love, cradled in Airey’s arms, upside down out of the back cover of the second book.

The Thirty-Six Steps to Having Love.

Machine servants don’t know hearts and minds, but they do know how to find cheats.

……

[Loyal machine servant, the best help for you to manage the Smartarms troops, but what makes you wonder is that Ailee seems to be in quite a good mood in recent times]

You don’t understand.

[You ask Airee about it, and Airee’s answer is simple, claiming to be happy because she’s learned something useful.]

[You are very pleased and encourage Ailee to learn more]

[After six months of restoration, you digested the harvest from the two satellite cities and used it to develop a larger force of intelligent weapons]

[At the end of the year, you went on the offensive again, targeting the third and fourth satellite cities]

……

“Ninth year of simulation, you’re 28 years old, seventh year of Ailee’s company.

[The years have made you look a little more mature, and that’s from the wear and tear of time.]

[You recall your second simulation experience]

[You understand that sooner or later, you will welcome the result of declining bodily functions due to the limitation of your life span]

[But fortunately, in this simulation, you are not subject to the limitations of mortality]

“Arms power surges, your physical strength is far beyond normal.

[The spirit of the machine is so pleased that Ailee has made a genetic enhancement potion for you, after taking it, your life potential has increased dramatically and your life expectancy has increased as a result]

In the same year, you completely analyzed the Federal computer and understood fusion devices.

[With the assistance of Ailee, the mechanical force has been completely renewed and iterated, with more powerful combat and energy systems]

……

“The 10th year of the simulation, you’re 29 years old, and Ailee is in her eighth year with you.

[The dual enhancement of mechanical power and genetic potion makes you look almost unchanged]

“You’re on the offensive.

[All the satellite cities on the south side of the Union have been taken in succession.]

[After that, your progress has stalled, and you’ve been unable to attack the Confederacy’s Southern Main Base City.]

[The number of intelligent weapons in the southern main base city far exceeds your prediction, and more importantly, the huge cluster of sophisticated weapons.]

[Explosive Subspace Fighter, Hyperstring Electromagnetic Railgun, High Power Laser Array, Anti-Gravity Starship Cluster ……]

[It could be argued that, except for the ultimate Federal killers in the universe, you pretty much faced what was once the heyday of Federal firepower on the battlefields of South Main Base City]

[In the heat of battle, in the midst of devastating saturation bombing, you met your second death.]

[After the resurrection, you didn’t feel much, just the normal outcome of a life-and-death war]

[But Ailee seemed upset]

“This kind of thing…I won’t allow it ……”

[Under your dumbfounded gaze, Ailee’s already terrifying arithmetic power ushered in an extremely dramatic surge, forcefully tearing open a corner of the southern main base city’s defenses]

[You shot down a number of sky fighters]

[You are so energized that you temporarily retreat to the rear and try to communicate with the spirit of your fighter and engage in mechanical resonance.]

[Ding–]

[The spirit of the machine is impressed by your persistence, and in the resonance of the mechanical power, you gradually understand the construction of the air fighter and the principle of its blueprint]

[Through your blueprints, backed by the resources of multiple satellite cities, Airey produces an overwhelming fleet of airplanes.]

The sky darkened.

Sonic Boom Repeat.

A large number of air and sky fighters occupied the vast sky with impunity, and their dense array even prevented the sunlight from casting down on the ground.
