I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World Chapter 659

Chapter 659 - Artificial Intelligence - "Jean"

Translator: _Min_  Editor: Caron_

It was already September.

With the tail end of summer passing by, the apocalypse was already cooling down. Typically, winter would arrive by the end of October with snowfall coming half a month later. Winter in the apocalypse arrived one month earlier and ended one month later compared to the modern world.

Lin Lin was overwhelmed with work lately.

In order to ensure the exterior structure of Garden of Eden was completed before snowfall and to shift the construction phase to the interior to maximize construction time during the winter, she spent all day on the construction site. The previously freest person in the mansion now became the busiest out of everyone.

Jiang Chen spent his time inside the mansion reading through the legal document amended by Chu Nan. Even though it was scanned into a digital version, the 10 MB size of the document still gave him a headache. It was also a strain on his eyes as he had to stare at the screen for a long time.

Jiang Chen had to return to the modern world by October at the latest and had to take of things before he left. He also wanted to spend time with the girls. Sometimes, he wished he could chop himself up in half, leaving half on this side and the other half in the modern world.

It was becoming more and more apparent that he no longer had enough time.

Jiang Chen placed the tablet on the table and let out a long sigh while massaging his sore eyes.

It was too torturous for an engineering graduate to read through all this. When Jiang Chen thought about it, he couldn’t help but scorn Chu Nan. How did a pilot become so knowledgeable?

Then the door behind him opened gently. Yao Yao gently walked beside Jiang Chen with a cup of coffee and put the steamy coffee on the table. Seeing how tired he looked, Yao Yao pouted with heartache and whispered:

“Big Brother… it must be tiring reading through all these documents.”

“It’s a little tiring, but it’s okay.” Jiang Chen sunk into his chair and looked up at Yao Yao’s caring face with a smile.

“If only Yao Yao could help you out.”

Jiang Chen looked at the little loli with a spoiled smile.

“Yao Yao is already helping me a lot – always has been.”

“Hehe.” With a timid smile, Yao Yao rubbed her face then clasped her hands onto Jiang Chen’s shoulder. “You’ve been working for a while, Big Brother must be tired… So, Yao Yao will massage you.”

“Mhmm! Thank you.”

Feeling her soft hands rubbing his shoulder, he felt like his weariness was cured.

Jiang Chen closed his eyes and began to enjoy the service.

Seeing how relaxed Jiang Chen looked, a happy smile appeared on Yao Yao’s face.

But looking at the thick stack of documents, the little girl’s mouth pouted again.

If only she could help.

Suddenly, a spark went off in Yao Yao’s head.

In that instant, she thought of a spectacular idea. Even though she only knew how to program, it could help Big Brother out…

One morning, Jiang Chen was reading through documents as part of his usual routine. But before he flipped open the document, Yao Yao pushed open the door in a pink robe while rubbing her sleepy eyes and wandered into the room.

No one had the heart to rouse her from her sleep, seeing how sleepy she looked.

Because of the inhibitor injected when she was in hibernation, Yao Yao wasn’t very good with mornings. But today, she strangely woke up early in the morning at eight.

“Ha-, here you go~”

While yawning, Yao Yao handed Jiang Chen an electronic watch.

“This is?” Jiang Chen took the small gadget from Yao Yao’s hands and he began to examine it closely.

From the light but durable textile, it was probably graphene. The thumb-sized screen looked small but sharp. The side had a grain-sized button which could open an adjustable hologram screen.

The appearance looked similar to Microsoft’s smart bracelet, but the difference in content was like night and day.

Jiang Chen took off the EP and put the watch on.

It was light with barely any weight.

After Jiang Chen opened the screen, he was shocked to discover something.

It wasn’t a watch at all; it was a lighter hologram computer that carried all the functionalities of EP.

A more shocking thing happened.

Just as the hologram screen expanded, beside the homepage, the image of a girl projected out. She had a ponytail and her clearly defined face looked cold; her emotionless eyes seemed to resemble Han Junhua.

Of course, that was just from the vibes.

Seeing shocked expression on Jiang Chen’s face, Yao Yao chuckled while feeling pleased. She slowly began to explain things for Jiang Chen.

“Her name is ‘Jian,’ an intermediate artificial intelligence entity developed by Yao Yao. Didn’t Big Brother want me to develop safer artificial intelligence that possessed the ability to think? Hehe, Yao Yao completed the development.”

With a pause and both hands behind her back, Yao Yao timidly continued, “I saw how tiring it was for Big Brother to read through the documents. Therefore… I added some assistive features to her based on the original software. I hope she can help you.”

At the same time, the girl in the hologram project politely bowed to Jiang Chen.

“Artificial Intelligence ‘Jian’ at your service.”

“Jian’s appearance is downloaded from the library’s database. If Big Brother is not pleased, you can modify her yourself,” Yao Yao added.

“Haha, how could I not be pleased with Yao Yao’s work? Appearances aside, could you describe her functionality to me?” Yao Yao touched her chin while she examined the artificial intelligence.

The security of intermediate artificial intelligence was inferior to basic artificial intelligence, but from a functionality perspective, the workable field of intermediate artificial intelligence was much more expansive than basic artificial intelligence. For example, basic artificial intelligence could produce logical responses based on human actions; it could make calculations but it couldn’t process further.

Intermediate artificial intelligence was different. Not only could it solve math problems, but it could solve even deep application questions.

Based on what Yao Yao said, Jian not only possessed the ability to program herself – she could even learn knowledge she came in contact with and gain understanding. Her reading, analyzing, processing and outputting of data was far superior compared to humans.

Similar intermediate artificial intelligence assistants were also seen in major corporations before the war and were commonly referred to as legal intermediate artificial intelligence. Its role often involved managing company servers and helping the president in better managing the company. In this aspect, Yao Yao’s “Jian” utilized a lot of the same design principles.

And the security concern Jiang Chen was most worried about wasn’t a concern at all.

The probability of losing control was low enough to be negligible, but the amount of hard drive and RAM space required for “Jian” was absurd, so it could only be contained in special “containers.” In the modern world, the spaces available for her to stay were extremely limited, so there was no need to worry about losing control.

Even if she lost control, based on the settings in Yao Yao’s program, “Jian” would absolutely obey Jiang Chen, limiting the conscious derived from the program itself.

Security wasn’t a concern at all.

“I already programmed economic and law knowledge into Jian’s database. Her current knowledge level is around the level of someone with a PhD. With Jian as your assistant, it’ll be a lot easier for Big Brother to read through the documents.” Yao Yao smiled.

After listening to Yao Yao’s description, Jiang Chen looked at the watch on his wrist and exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, “It’s almost like a hack.”

“Hehe.” Yao Yao joyfully smiled. “Although I don’t know what a hack is, it’s great to be able to help Big Brother out.”

“Mhmm! Yao Yao helped me a lot this time!” Jiang Chen lovingly rubbed Yao Yao’s head.

This artificial intelligence could be moved to the modern world and installed into Future Group’s server. Xia Shiyu had constantly been bugging him about getting an assistant and he had been considering it too but he hadn’t found the right candidate.

Now, which assistant could be more professional than artificial intelligence?

Its efficiency couldn’t be matched by the human brain.

After sending away Yao Yao, Jiang Chen immediately returned to the desk and connected the tablet to the watch to order the new assistant to read the entire document. It utilized economics and law to evaluate each section of the amendment.

<Document scanning completed, the results are as follows: The bill is intended for mid-sized and administrative-oriented market economies. There are 13 laws to be perfected, and there are 2 laws proven to be potentially harmful before 2171. Recommendations for program improvements are as follows: …Comprehensive assessment: B+

From a beginner’s perspective, it was amazing to achieve a B+ rating. Jiang Chen was extremely pleased with Chu Nan’s abilities.

What made him even more satisfied and amazed was Yao Yao’s artificial intelligence.

It was a hack!

“Jian… That’s an odd way of referring to a program.” Jiang Chen slapped his forehead and thought about a game he thought was fitting, “How about this -I’ll call you ‘Jean’ from now on.”

Jean was a female name too.

“Name change completed, Mr. General.”

“Also, don’t call me General. Refer to me as President.”

“Affirmative.”

Looking at Jean on the hologram screen, a pleased curvature appeared on Jiang Chen’s mouth.

With Jean’s help, it wouldn’t take long before he could solve the problem that had been giving him a headache.

Ruins stretched across the landscape in the apocalypse after the nuclear war.

If you accidentally survived on the wasteland, then you must be ready to face the endless hunger, ceaseless dangers, the mad zombies at night, and the peculiar mutant creatures that are the aftermaths of the constant radiation.

But for Jiang Chen, this place was heaven.

Mansions stood tall, luxurious cars parked on the street, high tech products and gold abandoned everywhere.

What? You were the president of a game development company before the war? You were responsible for the development of the 3D virtual reality online multiplayer game? Well, that’s great, why don’t you come work for me. The salary is two pieces of bread a day.

iPhone? Ultra thin design? Don’t you see that the phone I invented are thinner than condoms?

Aircraft carrier? Fighter jets? Oh, I have those things as well, but they are designed for space combat.

Watch the story of Jiang Chen, who possessed the ability to travel through space and time, as he witness the creation of an empire stretched across space and time..
