Chapter 239 - Self-Destruction
Chapter 239: Self-Destruction
Raymond already knew what that thing in a woman’s head was for.
But he had to keep working on it.
After all, receiving brain waves and transferring consciousness were two different things.
But there wasn’t much time left.
When he was done, Raymond would call for Riven.
The experiment began again.
An hour passed by quickly.
At that moment, the moon above the island was approaching the horizon.
Time seemed to fly exceptionally fast on that night.
At least, that was how Raymond felt.
He didn’t want to rest, but a robot walked into the laboratory.
In the robot’s hand was a portion of food.
Tuesday spoke, “Sir, the food has been delivered!”
Raymond raised his head and looked at the robot in front of him.
“I didn’t ask you to deliver the food, did I?”
“It was Miss Gayle Gadot who asked me to deliver it. She gave me a set of detailed instructions before she went into hibernation!”
“Oh!”
Raymond came back to his senses.
It seemed that Gayle Gadot really cared about his diet!
Since it was all done with good intentions, Raymond couldn’t let it go.
After completing a segment, he divided the work in his hands.
He began to eat.

After eating, Raymond went to wash his face and asked, “How is Riven doing now?”
“Sir, Riven has basically completed the forging of the keel. The next step is to use the laser cutter to refine it!”
“Inform her that the laser cutter refinement is to be held off for the time being. Get her over here first!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Tuesday asked no questions.
However, the netizens in the live broadcast room were very puzzled.
The keel was very important. Why did they stop midway?!
The netizens could not figure it out. Furthermore, Raymond could not see the chat.
They could not do anything about it.
After giving his instructions, Raymond drank a tube of anti-fatigue nutrient solution and continued to work.
A line of text in the international live broadcast room attracted a lot of attention.
[Do you guys think that Thunder God is planning to transfer Riven’s consciousness into this woman? ]!]
It sent a shockwave ripple of acceptance across the internet.
Raymond rarely ever changed his plans midway.
If he ever did, he was certain about his direction.
The keel of the space battleship was undoubtedly very important.
There were only so few reasons why he would pull Riven away from her task.
[No way! No way! If that’s the case, then it’ll be interesting!]
[I don’t think Riven would agree. After all, she inhabits the body of a freaking Gundam! Why would she give up all that power for a mundane human existence?]
[He’s right. If she ends up as just another human, Thunder God may as well discard her.]
[No! What were you thinking! With such a beautiful body, do you think he would abandon it?]
[Hmm… say if this woman is really alive, what would you guys think of Hee-sun and Gadot?]
[Aite. Pre-registering her as my new waifu. Just waiting for her to not be dead. Even if it’s Riven’s consciousness, I don’t care!]
[Riven’s a handful. I don’t think he’ll even trust that body to her.]
[Who knows! Maybe he plans to imprison her in that body?]
[Such a beautiful, elegant body with such a chaotic, ditzy personality… I don’t like it.]
[I think she’s definitely being called to upload her mind.]
[…]
There was a lot of speculation on the Internet.
However, a portion of them had already guessed Raymond’s thoughts.
Raymond didn’t even care about the beauty of this body.
But Riven was too chaotic for his liking.
He had to depower her to some extent.
He’ll just have Tuesday throw in another copy of his core coding into the Gundam.
It wasn’t difficult.
Time slowly passed.
Raymond’s algorithm had been verified.
The moment Riven arrived, the next step could be started.
Raymond waited for at most three minutes before he heard loud footsteps.
When he walked out of the laboratory, he saw the Gundam in the distance.
“Tuesday, I want three robots to extract Riven’s server! I also want a portion of the cables to ensure that Riven’s server is powered off!”
“Yes, Sir!”
Tuesday quickly sent his robots to work.
As for the simple matter of cables, it was even simpler.
By the time the Gundam arrived in front of Raymond, Tuesday was already done.
“Master!”
Riven half knelt down.
She wasn’t clear about Raymond’s intentions, so she made a basic pose.
Raymond didn’t answer Riven, but instead gave an order to Tuesday.
“Tuesday, tear down Riven’s server!”
“Yes, Sir!”
The three robots immediately began to move.
When Riven heard Raymond’s order, she immediately panicked.
“Master, did I do something wrong? Why are you taking out my server?!”
Riven stood the Gundam up.
“Hmph! You didn’t do anything wrong, can’t I just tear it down?”
Raymond looked slightly angry.
He didn’t plan to tease Riven.
But when he saw Riven’s excited look, he wanted to tease her.
At the same time, he wanted to see how she would react in a life-or-death situation.
“I…”
Raven’s voice began to tremble.
She had been made from a copy of Tuesday’s core.
But her emotions were clearly evolving faster than Tuesday.
Hearing this pitiful voice, some of the audience members who didn’t know the inside story changed their minds.
[My heart is melting. How pitiful!]
[Riven is mischievous, but he shouldn’t be treating her like this!]
[She’s an AI, but she is her own person now!]
[I had been looking forward to Riven getting powered down, but now that it has come to this, I can’t bear it!]
[I think she’s being cute.]
[Riven, aren’t you naughty? Why aren’t you running?]
[Riven, run!]
[…]
Empathy was an innately human ability, but many people had it.
Riven was about to die, and they seemed to share her fear of death.
[I definitely thought she would run off on her own.]
But she didn’t move an inch.
The Gundam who had stood up half squatted down again.
“Master, thank you for letting me see this world!
“Can I do it myself? I’ll self-destruct?
“This is my final request!”
Riven’s voice was a little shaky at first, but it gradually calmed down towards the end.
She seemed to have mentally prepared herself.
