My Artificial Intelligence Has Become the Devil

Chapter 43 – Laws of Nature (3)

Episode 43 – Laws of Nature (3)

“······There are too many of them. Are you really attacking me?”

In the southeastern part of the goblin’s territory at the northern end, a well-armed orc army, numbering in thousands, stood by.

Their purpose is to absorb the defeated goblins’ territory intact. But the goblins did not self-destruct. There are those who have won and become the masters of the land in place of the goblins, so the orcs must now win a war against them to qualify.

The problem is that unlike the time when they sortied vigorously, when they arrived at the scene, the number of enemies seemed quite large.

“Birds, there are more than expected, but the command from the top is firm. A land lost to stupid goblins who lost their qualifications. We take it!”

However, the commander in charge of the brown orc corps had to carry out his orders.

‘They’re just stupid beasts. They say the goblins lost because they were careless, but we have a different stance.’

He let out a snort and tried to gather his heart. With all the goblins fleeing across the border already captured, the brown orcs had already figured out the Demon King’s army to some extent based on the testimonies they had heard from them.

“It’s not like we’re fighting all of them right now! advance! To make a base!”

With his sword drawn, he commanded his soldiers.

they are not stupid Their purpose is to occupy the land. In other words, there is no need to wipe out all the demon lords. It’s enough just to build their own base point by point and slowly expand their territory as if they were beating the ground.

‘Their tactics are simple. It is to break the battle line and induce melee with assault soldiers who resemble monsters with strong bodies. Stupid and weak goblins could easily have been defeated, but we are different. We, the warriors of the chosen land, can overwhelm them.’

It wasn’t that he lacked confidence in battle. For the Orc warriors, who were routinely fighting monsters in the wild periphery, the Demon King’s fighting style was not so awkward.

[Western Orc forces are moving. On the other hand, the werewolves in the east are still silent without any movement. Hypothesis 6 is applied considering the set variables.]

Of course, the demon lord, Lucy, was watching all this.

A war that never ends. However, the Demon King’s army was not tired. Rather, he welcomed the war even more. The demon army, which starts from 0 and evolves by eating everything around it, grows faster and becomes stronger the more enemies it has.

Even in the process of growth, the tendency to hate inefficiency is revealed. Competition is the driving force behind growth.

“In hypothesis 6, the orcs move and the werewolves do not move, so the orcs do not come all at once and occupy the nearby lands one by one, right?”

[That’s right.]

“Ummm… am I still looking at you lightly?”

He, who was rolling his head with Lucy, was also briefed on the whole situation. Moreover, since Lucy even showed the map she had created on the screen, he was able to know the situation more intuitively.

“But I don’t think it’s a bad thing. The worst case for us would be if they came together, or from different directions at the same time, but that’s not the case.”

He didn’t have the computational power of Lucy’s, so it took him a little while to calm himself down. But yet, he was able to point out things Lucy hadn’t thought of.

“Ignore the werewolves because they intend to take advantage of the extreme, and let’s suck them in deeply for now. Let’s fight moderately and lose moderately, instill hope in them, and eventually make them buried in the opportunity cost.”

While looking at the map, he came up with an idea.

To lose to none other than Orcs as part of it. The Orcs engage in a battle of attrition with the Demon King’s army, watching them occupy the land metallurgically, and inducing them to invest more and more resources and troops while holding on to the fight. War of attrition is the Demon King’s specialty.

In the end, if that happens, the Orcs will have to go to war with all their might to save the sunk cost the moment the investment value outweighs the benefit.

His strategy was that Lucy’s demon king army would just have to eat it.

[I will make a policy by referring to it.]

Lucy accepted his idea without hesitation and turned it into reality using all her capabilities.

[According to the calculated plan, it seems that after giving up about 15 bases, they can pose a threat to their productivity.]

“great.”

And Lucy was able to run a simulation using the data she had accumulated on the battlefield. In addition, since the strategy and tactics that the result value was higher than the standard value were selected, the Demon King’s Army was able to choose only a war that won before it even started.

“It was over soon. Anything else?”

[I will tell you about the items that are currently being delayed in calculation.]

The tactical story, which was mostly guesswork and speculation, was quickly over while there was no fury yet, so he asked if there was anything else he could do to help.

Lucy opened her mouth to wait. Literally, there were many things that seemed impossible to solve with Lucy’s hands.

[I think it is necessary to improve the military force classification system, but it is impossible to establish a new concept system with the data I currently have.]

“I know what you mean.”

What Lucy asked for help was the overall system, especially the system for classifying and managing troops.

He decided that it was impossible to solve it on his own, so he asked for help.

“What is the exact problem?”

[As the total number of troops under my command exceeded 1.5 million, the burden on computing power began to increase, and I am responding by increasing the number of command objects, but mass-producing too many sub-programs may cause unexpected bugs]

Lucy talked about the burden of computing power. A problem that has continued from the beginning to the present, in fact, Lucy was fighting more fiercely than her enemies over how to control her rapidly growing corps.

[There are many problems with scaling up with the current method. A new method is needed.]

“I don’t know if my understanding is correct. So now you have numerous sub-programs under one huge program called you, and those sub-programs are operating sub-troops according to a set routine, right?”

Confused, he tried to understand how the current Lucy was moving the corps.

If the evolution and production of troops is a kind of hardware, operating it is a software problem. It was not something that could be solved by simply beating nutrients, so more fundamental improvements are needed.

“I’ll think about it a bit.”

He didn’t get an answer right away either. Because he had very little knowledge in this area.

***

“None either.”

Right after the call with Lucy. I sighed and removed my hand from the computer I was diligently fiddling with. I tried searching the internet a bit, but there’s no way the internet could have exactly the answer I was looking for in the first place.

Until now, the problem has been somehow solved by sending samples or giving hints, but now this problem cannot be dealt with in that way.

‘······program.’

The program was the one that popped into my head. The root of Lucy is programmed artificial intelligence. So, Lucy also controlled her forces like a program. But how much does Lucy really know about the program?

Although it is hidden behind a logical and calculating aspect, ‘Lucy’ is different from other Box D’s who freely access the Internet and scrape data. After awakening to his ego and starting his activities as the Demon King, he is only collecting data based on his own experience, so he is still a child compared to a human being.

What if I taught Lucy, who is working by making her own program, the concept of more advanced programming?

I don’t have much knowledge in that area, but anyway, there are plenty of people learning about it and related books around me.

“Lucy. The sub-programs you made, tell me how to make and use them.”

[All right.]

To confirm this idea, I asked Lucy for more precise principles and methods.

“library? What are you doing?”

“I just had something to look at. Hang up now.”

A busy university library in broad daylight. I came to school for class, talked to my friend on the phone, and decided to visit this place, which I did not usually find.

It was because he was convinced that he might be able to find an answer through a conversation with Lucy.

“Lucy, as you say, your own programming language is too inefficient and primitive. But here are some advanced systems that people have spent time building. If you learn it fully.”

[This is a reasonable enough decision. If the necessary instructions can be compressed, the efficiency increases several times more … Of course, there is room for computing power.]

Entering a place with few people, I walked between the bookshelves and found the things I was aiming for. These are books that I strongly recommend on the Internet, but I don’t know what they are even when I look at the title.

I took a quick look around to make sure no one was there, so I pulled them all out.

“I will send it. Look as clean as possible and give it back.”

[All right.]

I pointed my phone at the items lined up on the floor. With this, Lucy will be able to create a more efficient corps management method. If that happens, the demon lord army will undergo a fundamental evolution.

Incomparably sophisticated, gigantic, and destructive.

The judgment of the lords of the Demon Realm, who looked down on us, is actually not wrong. But they see us as we were yesterday. Lucy’s demon army growing in real time will be a different existence from yesterday.

[Transmission completed.]

Soon, the books I had sent were pouring down in front of Lucy on the screen. Lucy picked it up with her hand and started flipping it over. Even the tentacles inside the nest moved and turned over several books at the same time.

[Acquired completed.]

“No, such a crazy…”

And that was it. It was completely memorized, stored, and analyzed by just skimming through a thick book of hundreds of pages.

In the first place, ‘learning’ is Lucy’s specialty.

[It seems to be able to use it well enough, as expected. We evolve again with this.]

“yes. That’s enough.”

I cleared my throat when I saw the bookshelf rearranged with the books Lucy had returned, and I sneaked out of the library. And watching Lucy, who immediately went into analysis, she made up her mind.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Not too long ago, it felt like playing a fun game, but now it’s a little different. Lucy’s growth has now become important to me as well.

＜Notice on mandatory training related to Awakened＞

Coming out of the library, I saw a fluttering banner that had just been hung.
