Chapter 375: Lumina
To end the endless debates among the elders and restore efficiency to the Ji, they devised a solution.
At that time, the Ji’s expertise in artificial intelligence was already exceptional, even before their exposure to external intellectual collisions. They pooled their civilization’s most advanced technologies and ideas to create a high-level artificial intelligence, which they named “Lumina.”
Lumina was equipped with the best hardware of the era, boasting computational power unparalleled by any other AI and granted extraordinary authority.
When a matter exceeded a set time limit without resolution, the Ji would defer the decision to Lumina.
Lumina, devoid of emotion and immune to external influences, relied solely on fundamental formulas and mathematical logic to evaluate and determine solutions. Consequently, regardless of how the Council of Elders felt about its conclusions, Lumina’s decisions were outwardly accepted as optimal.
Thus, the Ji regained their efficiency.
Unfortunately, even Lumina, with its unmatched computational power, was not omnipotent—it was still just a machine. It could not prevent the wars caused by distance.
Lumina was neither destroyed by the fires of war nor lost; if it was ever damaged, it was subsequently rebuilt. Regardless, it persisted beyond the wars and, as Ji technology advanced, Lumina received significant upgrades.
While advancements in propulsion technology had limited impact on Lumina, breakthroughs in information transmission propelled it to a new level. Its “thoughts” were no longer bound by the speed of light. Even from light-years away, its will could reach its target instantaneously.
