Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

"As you wish, sir."

On a table in the temporary tent, there was a rather sturdy-looking tablet computer that had somehow appeared.

"Damn you, Xiao You, this is blatant showing off."

"What do you mean by showing off? I'm just making the most of what I have. I created Bourne to make life and combat more convenient. If you want it, hurry up and master the Soul Forging technique!"

"...Damn genius!"

Long You's words made perfect sense. He Cai Tou, whose tongue wasn't particularly fluent, opened his mouth for a long time, but in the end, he could only mutter a curse under his breath.

Since forging the Yangyan Chenyin Forging Hammer, Longyou has been working towards Soul Forging in preparation for creating an artificial intelligence Soul Guidance Device.

If soul forging can be achieved, then rare metals, in a sense, become truly alive. They possess consciousness and the ability to think.

Perhaps in terms of intelligence, Soulforged Metal isn't particularly intelligent, at most equivalent to a five- or six-year-old child. However, once it possesses the ability to think, the most difficult aspect of artificial intelligence—human-computer interaction—is easily overcome.

As for the remaining self-learning ability, big data storage and application ability, and supercomputing ability, these are not too insurmountable gaps for the existing soul tool technology capabilities of Douluo Continent.

At the very least, with the help of the Book of Witness Martial Soul, Long You had prepared the design blueprints for the artificial intelligence soul tool long ago, and was just waiting for the soul forging metal to arrive.

However, the bottleneck from spirit forging to soul forging is not easy to overcome. Even with Long You's tireless efforts day and night, it was already halfway through his third year of school when he finally completed his first rare metal soul forging.

Because a complete simulation can be performed within the Pearl of Imagination, even on his first attempt, Long You's soul forging will be of high quality. Therefore, Long You directly selected jade silver as his target for the rare metal in soul forging.

Resembling jade but not jade, resembling silver but not silver. Jade silver is the most neutral of the rare metals, and its excellent adaptability to soul power makes it the best choice for the core array of many soul tools.

Long You designed the core array of the AI ​​soul tool, but what kind of rare metal would be the best choice to support it? Not only were the original inhabitants of the Douluo Continent world unaware, but Long You himself didn't know either.

All Long You knew was that the chip in the smartphone he used in his previous life was made of silicon; nothing else. In this situation, Long You decided to choose the option least likely to go wrong, and jade silver was that option.

Because his own soul power level did not support Long You using more advanced core array inscription methods, Long You chose to inscribe an intelligent array with a difficulty level of four. Inscribing this level of intelligent array on rare soul-forged metal was just enough to allow artificial intelligence to cross the threshold of artificial stupidity.

Combined with components such as information storage module, information scanning module, supercomputing (information processing) module, voice recognition, conversion module, image recognition, processing, and projection module, a combat-aid intelligent soul guide device that can barely be called artificial intelligence is thus created.

Because of its limited information storage capacity and its main function focused on combat assistance, Long You didn't give this newly born combat assistance intelligent soul tool a name with strong commemorative significance like "Jarvis." Instead, he named it after Jason Bourne, the drug agent from the Mission: Impossible movies who single-handedly overturned the entire CIA.

The tablet computer that Long You placed on the table is the main body of Bourne. Through this main body, although it is not a full-fledged artificial intelligence, nor is it a life-specific artificial intelligence, Bourne can still handle simple data transmission and storage using Bluetooth wireless communication technology.

It looks pretty powerful, doesn't it? Even He Caitou was starting to get envious. But Long You couldn't be satisfied with just that. The realization of Bourne's various functions was based on Long You needing to carry Bourne's main body with him at all times.

This kind of portable carrying doesn't mean simply storing it in a storage soul tool; it means taking it out like this, holding it directly in your hand, or placing it in a place where it can be reached by Bourne's wireless information collection and transmission capabilities.

To give a simple example, if Long You needs to pilot a Soul Guidance Mech in battle, then Long You must place Bourne's main body in the pre-reserved position of the Soul Guidance Mech.

It was the rare metals and unique metal forging techniques of the Douluo Continent that allowed Bourne's physical form to be shrunk to the size of a tablet computer. Otherwise, in the current Douluo Continent world without wireless networks or the internet, Bourne would be practically useless.

Alright, that concludes the introduction to Bourne. Regardless of whether Long You is satisfied with Bourne now, Bourne can genuinely help Long You, so let's get back to the main topic.

Through the images fed back by the soul-guided device, Long You saw that Tang Ya was already walking towards him with Bei Bei by her side, and it was time to prepare for a physical examination.

It was noticeable that Tang Ya's eyes were a little red, but judging from her behavior of going straight to the MRI CT soul power sensor after entering the temporary camp, Tang Ya was not opposed to this physical examination, at least not now.

"Beep beep, buzz—"

The soul tool was scanning continuously, and Long You revealed his soul ring, beginning to use the analytical capabilities of his Insight Glasses.

Because the object being analyzed involved an unmanifested martial spirit, Long You's analysis speed was significantly slower than that of the soul tool.

Since there was no printer, after the MRI CT scan was completed, Bourne directly projected the data into the air as Long You had previously instructed.

Have you all seen your physical exam reports? The data report projected by Byrne is much more complicated than a physical exam report. This is because a physical exam report at least provides a normal range of values, but the data report projected by Byrne doesn't have that.

He Caitou, who followed Long You throughout the process of perfecting the Bern database, was even able to understand some things based on the data he remembered in his mind. Bei Bei and Tang Ya were completely dumbfounded.

Fortunately, Long You had instructed Byrne to provide a summary preliminary assessment. So, when they were almost at the bottom of the dozen-page data report, Bei Bei and Tang Ya finally found something they could understand.

Summary of preliminary assessment results: Physical fitness (including bone strength, muscle vitality, muscle strength, etc.) is within the normal range of Soul Master level, but exceeds the normal value of plant-type Soul Master.

The flow of spiritual energy in the dantian and meridians is stable and relatively fast; there is no structural damage to the dantian and meridians.

The overall nature of the soul power is the peaceful life attribute of wood, but it contains elements such as coldness and domineering, which are inconsistent with the soul power attributes of conventional plant-type soul masters.
