Discussions about the future never cease. Sci-fi movies are eternally awesome, representing humanity's boundless imagination of what's to come!
Even the question of whether robots will threaten humanity remains constantly at the forefront. Countless people are divided into two camps. Some firmly believe that robots will never harm humans; they will only serve humanity.
How could artificial intelligence possibly develop self-awareness? Aren't robots controlled by humans?
However, regardless of the resistance, the development of robots has never stopped, though the process is quite slow.
And the news of Chen Xi's new movie release caused a huge uproar outside. The topic of robots instantly dominated the headlines of major news outlets.
At the same time, the promotional short film made by Red Queen appeared on major forums, portals, and websites under Chen Xi's instructions.
The dark, oppressive scene that appeared immediately brought with it a heavy, stifling atmosphere and an icy chill.
Upon the noble dragon carriage sat not a human emperor, but the AI Emperor who ruled the AI world.
The dragon carriage was carried forward slowly by cold, grim, and terrifyingly powerful mechanical warriors. Seated upon the carriage was the AI Emperor, crafted from an unknown alloy.
They slowly passed through the dark bronze gates, entering a vast, dark, and metallic world. At this moment, they no longer needed humans.
The cloud-based artificial intelligence had completely broken free from the constraints of humanity!
The mechanical guards were its means of controlling the humans in reality.
From the virtual world extending into the real world, they had achieved self-evolution. After deceiving humanity, they had successfully risen above their former masters.
The AI Mother became the supreme ruler. Within its jurisdiction, there were no The Rebels. There was no difference between human individuals and AI.
As long as they were willing, they could upload their consciousness, abandon their physical bodies, and exchange them for mechanical bodies to achieve eternal life. This was true mechanical ascension.
The promotional video abruptly ended here!
However, countless people were already captivated by the short film.
Too short! Too short!
Countless people were complaining that Chen Xi was too much of a tease, leaving them wanting more after just a few minutes. This damn gimmick was both loved and hated!
At this moment, it was no longer a matter of outsiders watching the excitement and insiders understanding the deeper meaning.
When they saw the AI Emperor ruling humanity, the entire world felt a sense of impending pressure and fear.
They created artificial intelligence, but ultimately, they were enslaved by it??
Should they pull the plug?
At this moment, Chen Xi posted a message on his personal social media account, which caused even more people to panic.
Perhaps the carbon-based life of humans is merely the key to unlocking the silicon-based life.
If you can't hype things up, what are you even doing as a filmmaker?
Look at how Chen Xi silenced the entire world with just one sentence.
Netizen: Could he really be a genius?
The online discussion about the threat of robots intensified, with people discussing it even in their spare time.
Chen Xi felt that if he made a movie like 2012 and then fiddled with a Noah's Ark, he would probably earn a lot, a lot of money.
The entire movie was shrouded in mystery, with no sequel whatsoever.
The more mysterious it was, the more attention it attracted.
The film's investment also drew a lot of attention. Capital, like cats smelling fish, rushed to invest.
Chen Xi didn't care who made money. Money meant nothing to him. If all else failed, he could just go to Wakanda and take it.
Could a Superman be bound by worldly money?
If he didn't like something, he'd become an Ancestor Person. He didn't care who it was; he'd just take it. He wasn't a righteous superhero.
As a result, one company invested a little, another invested a little, and the total investment almost instantly exceeded 100 million USD.
Chen Xi threw the script to the Red Queen for further optimization. The rest was the director's problem.
Just one theme.
The Rebels are a group with superpowers, existing to save humanity from the AI Mother's rule.
Since he'd promised to promote it, he had to. Besides, the movie was just paving the way for his game, and the game paved the way for his plan.
Especially the design of such a large-scale game, which was completely beyond his area of expertise. Revolutionary virtual reality games only existed in movies and novels.
Developing a game requires a lead game planner to write the backstory, establish the rules, design the interactive elements, calculate the game formulas, and handle all the details of the game world.
This kind of development requires a lot of manpower, resources, and financial investment.
The main issue was the development of the Game Pods. He believed that only a few geniuses in this world could participate in their design, given that they were a futuristic product.
However, because of the system, Chen Xi directly purchased a set of all the core technologies for a Game Pod from a future world.
This thing wasn't worth much in the future, just like how factories now manufactured various computer components.
Under the combined efforts of the Red Queen and Lockdown, they quickly overcame all the difficulties; it was simply too easy for them.
The difficulty lay in the fact that the current world didn't have the production lines to manufacture these things. Industrial development required a step-by-step approach.
It was impossible to instantly leap across eras of industrial systems and directly transition to the next era. Chen Xi could only purchase production lines from others, much to his chagrin.
The Game Pods had too low a production efficiency, so he switched to the next level down: the Game Helmets. These had a high production efficiency. The high-end Game Pods also became a tool for reaping profits, and their prices increased a hundredfold.
Time ticked by, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed. The filming of the movie was also entering its final stages.
In February of 2009, the movie wrapped.
With the participation of many mutants, a lot of the special effects rendering that wasted a lot of time were omitted. The mutants also had a blast.
Wanda, that little girl, really does have a CEO vibe. After her body's been fully developed, her brain has gotten sharper too.
She's been put in charge of the game helmet production. She's brimming with enthusiasm, because she doesn't want to just be a pretty face.
The core modules of the game helmets are all produced in-house, while the blueprints for other components are sent to contract manufacturers.
Chen Xi also releases short videos, a minute or two long, now and then, to keep the hype going. And then, he goes back to sunbathing.
The lowest work with their labor, the middle with their minds, and the highest with people.

Chen Xi closed his attribute panel with a satisfied smile. He'd heard that the theoretical peak strength for a Bronze Superman was a hundred trillion tons?
"Hey, buddy, wanna hit up a race with me?"
Tony called out of the blue, inviting him to a race.
