I REALLY DIDN'T MEAN TO BE THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD

Chapter 932: Chapter 568: Strange Armor [3500 words]_1

The naming convention for T100-1987-HZ-99 is quite simple.

The 99 suffix refers to the standard designation of Folco Armor, with no particular meaning. It is said that it was an obsession in the heart of one of the core designers.

The meaning of HZ indicates that the design unit of this armor is the Oxfordshire Design Institute.

Strictly speaking, the full name should be TYDQHZSJY, which stands for the Solar System Earth Oxfordshire Design Institute.

As for 1987, it represents that this is the 1987th revised draft product of the Oxfordshire Institute.

As for T100, it is also a characteristic code designed for the armor produced by Oxfordshire Institute, making it easy to identify and avoid duplication.

No one cares about the meaning behind this code, as long as it is special.

When the T100 is in service, it will also receive a battlefield feature code from the military system for receiving instructions and identification of friend and foe.

It’s somewhat awkward that the talent-rich Oxfordshire Design Institute, as a research institution in the hometown of the sages, had high expectations placed upon it, and yet it ended up producing only one mature plan in the end.

The blame can only be placed on the ambitious project leader of Oxfordshire Institute, who insisted on making substantial changes to the standard design of Folco armor rather than making minor tweaks. The leader went so far as to overthrow its intelligence core and attempted to write a whole new set of adaptive programs.

The intelligent core program of the standard Folco armor adopted the versatile intelligence recently introduced by Gelasians Colony. The program contains a vast amount of basic information, including detailed star maps of the entire war zone, encompassing everything from star rules to planetary characteristics.

Although artificial intelligence can consider almost all possible situations, it inevitably appears rigid and inflexible.

Therefore, when it is on a mission, human mech pilots will preset a series of operation programs according to the needs of the mission.

The programs are not single-threaded; the armor will respond with corresponding measures according to the different situations encountered during the mission, following the preset programs.

Only when the situation is too complex and beyond the preset programs will the armor activate its autonomous decision-making system.

The skill of the mech pilot is reflected in the thoroughness of the preset programs, the flexibility and practicality in handling situations, and many other aspects.

With the same intelligent armor, pilots of different levels will exhibit vastly different performance capabilities.

The advantage of a standard program is that it provides a minimum guarantee.

As long as it is a qualified Folco armor, it can be considered a formidable weapon on the battlefield, with the only difference being the amount of destruction it can cause.

However, the outcome of the product from Oxfordshire Institute is difficult to predict.

No one knows what went wrong with project leader Charles Thomas’ mind, as he refused to include any common sense preset programs.

There wasn’t even a basic star map in T100; all computing cores and database capacity were used for battle preset programs.

Just one set of unproven intuitive reaction combat instructions developed by Charles Thomas alone occupied 70% of the database and potential computing capacity.

Taking into account other basic combat information, mech pilots have little available computing power left, leaving them at a loss on how to write programs, regardless of their skill level.

This means that if T100 were to enter a simple battlefield, it may be able to perfectly capture all enemy actions with its intuitive combat capabilities, performing at a level that allows it to single-handedly take on hundreds or even thousands of opponents.

However, any slightly unexpected situations, such as encountering a new type of enemy not included in data predictions, or entering a complex star region that requires dealing with more complex situations in addition to combating enemy units, would spell big trouble.

Perhaps it could be just a magnetized meteorite or a naturally occurring spatial disturbance that should have been easily avoided, but it’s enough to capsize it in the gutter.

In the laboratory stage, T100’s intelligent central system has participated in many simulated missions online with other Folco armors, causing a myriad of problems.

Sometimes, during the pre-departure charging phase, it would inexplicably activate an overload charging mode and self-destruct on the spot in the virtual base before it even had a chance to get out, incidentally wreaking havoc on both the base and other intelligent armors.

It was like racing against time, rushing to be reborn.

At that time, the senior mech pilot responsible for debugging it almost wished he could dig a hole on the ground and bury himself in it.

He didn’t even have this operation in the preset program.

This was obviously a loss of control.

When reviewing the operation records to investigate the problem, the mech pilot found its decision-making to be completely irrational, wanting to speed up out of the blue.

The poor senior pilot almost had a stroke on the spot.

Then they switched to another pilot.

This time, it finally made it out the door smoothly.

Then, it ran headlong into a high-energy ray beam released during a supernova explosion.

Although it emerged unscathed, it had missed the opportunity for battle, and the mission was naturally a failure.

That was still a better outcome; sometimes, it would play covert, acting normally during the first half of the mission and suddenly lose control at a critical moment in the battle.

During a large-scale simulated mission, it and its intelligent comrades were being chased by a large number of powerful enemies. It was supposed to lead the mission target to safety but instead turned back after taking only a few steps.

It did manage to cover the rear successfully, holding all the powerful enemies at bay with a single armor.

However, the mission target was damaged during the intense battle.

In its playback record, it inexplicably performed a redundant calculation when it was retreating.

The calculation result showed that it believed itself to be capable of handling all enemy units with a single armor and that there was no need to retreat.

Yes, it inexplicably developed a sense of mission for intelligent life, wanting to rescue its intelligent warfare siblings.

This was truly baffling.

Although it stole the show, the mission still failed.

No one knew whether to praise its excellent performance or curse it as a burden to the team.

There were simply too many such situations to enumerate.

Both Oxfordshire Design Institute and the military procurers hoped Charles Thomas could make some modifications, scaling back a little, fine-tuning the design, and at least striving to make T100 slightly more reliable.

After all, T100 occasionally showed remarkable combat power during its flashes of genius, and no one wanted to give up on it easily.

However, Charles Thomas helplessly stated that it could not be fine-tuned.

It seemed that the intelligent core of T100 had already begun to develop a primary autonomous consciousness and would no longer accept fundamental modifications by others.Just like people can listen to the advice of others, but it is impossible for someone to grab their soul and dictate who they should like or dislike.

Therefore, their only options are either to destroy and recycle it or let it be.

Charles Thomas can’t even make a second armor like it.

His command set, when put into other Folco Armors, didn’t have as many issues.

Of course, there were no surprises either.

At that time, after an intense discussion, the Oxfordshire Institute almost recycled it, but luckily, Charles Thomas showed its program to the main brain Star for a potential assessment.

The result was shocking.

The main brain Star believed that if it could fully unleash its abilities, it could demonstrate the combat power like the sage Harrison Clark had shown in the history of nothingness.

Although the history of nothingness is in the past, the high-ranking leaders who study history cannot help but covet such a super soldier.

Originally thinking that Harrison Clark’s combat power was a thing of the past, now there’s a chance to obtain it, who wouldn’t be tempted?

So, despite its numerous bugs, the T100 was preserved and given the opportunity to enter the battlefield without passing reliability tests.

T100 will be allocated with the transport ship Tiffany Bell rides and will arrive at the front line and officially serve around 2692-2693.

There are still seven or eight years remaining, which is enough for Tiffany Bell to learn slowly.

Anyway, although she’s smart, she’s still an apprentice with no value now. Let her spend her time on T100, even if the debugging fails in the end and the coordination degree cannot go up, it doesn’t matter.

Tiffany Bell is a well-known young genius on Ceres, but looking at the entire vast Morrowind Empire, her value is not that high.

…

In the training classroom for transport ship pilots, including Tiffany Bell, dozens of students were eagerly watching the projection behind the podium.

Although it’s called a classroom, the total floor area is 3,000 square meters, with a ceiling nearly 100 meters high, making it a huge workshop.

This class was when all the pilots received their training armors.

According to convention, students would receive a battle armor called Sky X3 model in their first hands-on session, with white paint as the main color, the entire height of the armor is about 33 meters, equipped with 20 times curvature flight ability, a weakened medium-range warp ability, and main armament system focused on medium and close range weapons.

Theoretically, a Sky X3 model can easily destroy a 1.5-class civilization.

Although it’s for training purposes, it was the standard weapon of the military 20 years ago.

Tiffany Bell, feeling indifferent as she observed her older classmates’ enthusiasm, felt a bit bored.

The instructor first gave a brief speech, which generally meant that war was calling, a formidable enemy was imminent, and no one could stay out of it. People would eventually die, either lightly or heavily…

As pilots of intelligent warfare, your skills will determine whether the equipment that obeys your commands can survive and complete tasks on the battlefield.

Intelligent warfare equipment possesses artificial intelligence, may also develop emotions, and entrusts their lives to you as pilots. So, whether for yourself, your family, or your intelligent warfare partners, starting today, you should face difficulties bravely and study diligently.

Tiffany Bell, who was not very interested in the Sky X3 model, was easily stirred up by the instructor’s words.

She began to feel ashamed, secretly blaming herself for being picky.

She naively thought that if it had feelings, and knew that she once disdained it, it would probably be sad.

“Good, now everyone starts to get their armor. Each person’s armor has a corresponding number… starting with Melvin.”

As the instructor spoke, each person’s Sky X3 model was displayed in the projection.

Although they were standard equipment, they were not identical. The instructor made corresponding modifications to each armor according to the differences in each person’s potential characteristics.

Some had their armor enlarged, some had gruesome-looking physical defense armor added, and some had terrifying large close-range weapons.

Everything seemed normal until it was Tiffany Bell’s turn.

…

“Tiffany Bell, this is your armor. Its code is T100-1987-HZ-99.”

The instructor said with mixed emotions, pointing to the projection behind him.

Others stared at the terrifying armor in the projection, nearly 60 meters tall, covered in black, with two huge warp engine tubes exposed on its back, streamlined and visually appealing, and equipped with dozens of visible external weapons all over its body. It looked like a devil.

It’s not the same.

It’s visibly different.

This is not on the same level as the others’ Sky X3 models.

“I-instructor, did you make a mistake? This isn’t right!”

Tiffany Bell was terrified.

The instructor shook his head, “No, I didn’t make a mistake. This is your training armor.”

“What model is this?”

Other people couldn’t help but ask out loud.

Instructor: “Folco Armor Custom Modification.”

The entire class suddenly fell silent.

Tiffany Bell’s mind buzzed.

She was utterly at a loss, staring up blankly at the fierce war machine in the projection.

Although it had no eyes, Tiffany Bell inexplicably felt a pair of sharp eyes staring at herself through the projection.

It seemed like an expectant gaze.

Tiffany Bell’s body involuntarily shivered, and she muttered to herself, “What a strange fellow.”
