The "strange rock" that had been lying in the forest for a full week finally moved.Early in the morning, the little animals that lived nearby were disturbed by the strange movement of the crater, and after a great deal of confusion they confirmed that this was not a precursor to a new explosion, so some daring creatures sneaked over the woods and bushes, and lay on the edge of the crater to watch the movement of the "strange rock falling from the sky".They saw that the culprit who had smashed the forest out of the pit had somehow been rejuvenated, and the once swarthy shell was now shining with a silvery white glow, and a beautiful halo was floating on its shell, like a large lake in the forest, rippling like a large lake, and it looked very beautiful.And a strange humming sound like the wind blowing in a cave continued to emanate from the strange thing's belly.A few small beasts with gray-white pointed ears clung to the branches and took up the heights, and hissed at the big silver-white stone that was glowing and making strange noises, and they remembered with annoyance that their former home, a beautiful and imposing tree hole, had been smashed by this creature, and that its wreckage was now in the belly of the strange thing and screaming at the lying thing, as hard as ever to get rid of the uninvited guest.But this time they seem to have really succeeded.Because the silver-white strange thing really began to float slowly after continuing to buzz for a while, and there were several long gaps in the back half of it that emitted bright blue light, and some ravines in the middle of the waist were also bubbling with bright light, under the effect of these lights, this behemoth, which looked quite heavy, seemed to lose its weight, floated lightly into the air, and flew higher and higher, farther and farther......
The hellish thing finally flew away.The little creatures of the forest watched the incredible spectacle in amazement, and then finally began to cheer - or just run and howl in a frightened manner, and a few small beasts with gray-white pointed ears clung to the branches, and watched at the edge of the impact pit as the silver-white monster flew away, and tried to find the beautiful and imposing tree hole in the deep pit - but to no avail.They chatted and exchanged opinions, and finally decided that this place was not suitable for settling down, and decided to move to the place in the forest with many shelves and stone trees, and planned to find a beautiful and imposing tree hole there......
"How does it feel to fly again?"
”Hao Ren looked at Nolan, who was standing next to the projector in the center of the bridge, with a high-spirited expression checking the data of the spaceship everywhere, and asked with a smile."
Superb!"
Nolan crossed his hands on his hips, and his silver-white ponytail flicked at the back of his head, "I thought I would really have some heavenly disorder, and I was worried about it for days!"
As a result, I was a natural flyer - I felt so good after liftoff!!
”"That's good," Hao Ren smiled and nodded, Miss Ship's Lady had been lying on her stomach for a week, and today she finally recovered her spirits, which is really a happy thing, "How is the situation of the spaceship?"
”"It's better than expected!"
Nolan seemed to be really happy, so much so that when she spoke, she used holographic projection to create a bunch of special effects for displaying fireworks and lanterns around her, "The power furnace is surging, the shield is stable and strong, and the weapon system is as powerful as if it was newly installed!"
Although the main gun still seems to be a bit of a problem, the ship thinks it will be able to use it to blast out anything in front of it in a few hours!
”"Okay, I understand your happy feelings, but it's better to start the ship seriously now," Hao Ren waved his hand at Nolan to calm down the ship's lady, who was already a little overjoyed, "We still have to be wary of the Divine Storm in this star region - although the latest monitoring news from the drone swarm shows that the Divine Storm only operates in the deep space region and has largely calmed down now, maybe if you are too angry, you will taunt them again." ”It worked, and Nolan jumped like a frightened rabbit for a moment, then looked around with a shrunken head—as if she could diminish the presence of her hundreds of meters long spaceship in the universe.Hao Ren nodded with satisfaction: Compared with the "gray fox mercenary" who was originally brought out of the Zhuom dream world, Nolan is really much more lively now, maybe this is the "real personality" that this AI lady was set up at the beginning?
The spacecraft quickly detached itself from the planet's atmosphere, but instead of speeding too fast, it turned on various jamming and covert action devices and moved closer to a higher orbit at an unhurried pace, and in front of its trajectory, the miracle space station "Zenith" built by the original inhabitants of the planet was shining in the afterglow of the sun.Hao Ren turned his head to the two robot girls who were sitting not far away: N-4 and N-6.The other "Substitutes" were also on board, and after N-4 and Hao Ren reached a consensus, the ground operations forces led by N-4 (including those who escaped before) also became temporary passengers on the Giant Turtle Rock Platform under the orders of their commander, and now they are all on standby in the cabin of the spacecraft, while N-4 and N-6 remain on the bridge as representatives to answer some of Hao Ren's questions at any time.N-4 and N-6 had been observing the place with curiosity, and they were amazed by the almost incomprehensible sophistication of the nearly incomprehensible craft built with unknown technology, especially after she took off.Hao Ren was watching them.Curiosity – another trait that is extremely close to human.Although the aborigines of this planet have made mediocre progress in aerospace technology (one of the proofs is that they have not yet built such a key device as a jumping engine), it seems that they have outstanding talents in the field of artificial intelligence, and these artificial intelligences, known as "surrogates", not only have near-perfect emotional functions, but also have the ability to develop themselves independently, such as curiosity and learning, which is a remarkable achievement.Because it means they can evolve themselves.N-4 had already said a lot about the anomaly of the "mastermind", and now Hao Ren had a general grasp of the whole thing.It doesn't sound like the mastermind is malfunctioning suddenly, but rather has a gradual process, and at the beginning of the process, no one is aware of it.Since a few years ago, that huge AI has been producing contradictory instructions, which are initially small in number and involve few important decisions, and can be seen as minor glitches in the runtime - the brain itself has a mechanism to correct these failures, its thirteen servers are like a voting body, and it is only a few of them that produce erroneous instructions, and the normal server will directly eliminate the problematic code - in the beginning.But the situation has been getting worse since then.For unknown reasons, the Mastermind's error log is hidden by itself (perhaps the deadliest of all failures), so the maintainers in the fortress are unaware that more and more error instructions are accumulating on the Masterbrain's servers.At first, there were only one or two servers that produced bad instructions, and the frequency was only three or four times a month or two, but then the problem became more and more serious.Error instructions are appearing more and more frequently, and there are more and more servers producing them, and there are fewer and fewer normal servers that can eliminate them.It's not that the Mastermind's servers are unmaintained, and it's not that they lack updates - in fact, as the most important decision-making machine in the survivor society, the Mastermind's motherboard and main logic circuitry are replaced every 100 years, the rest of the hardware is overhauled and maintained every year, and processes such as system self-testing are carried out so frequently that they are carried out once a day.According to N-4, the main brain's current motherboard and logic circuitry have only been replaced for less than 20 years, and they are far from being able to fail.But the failure happened so inexplicably, and when the ratio of the masterbrain's normal servers to the failed servers was reversed, its errors were finally exposed.It issued two diametrically opposed, and inexplicable orders: the first one forbade the flow of information about the unidentified ship on the home planet, and forbade anyone to approach the area where the ship "crashed", while the second directive was sent directly to a dozen Proxy soldiers, including N-4, ordering them to investigate the situation of the unidentified spacecraft.At first, N-4 is unaware that the two commands are contradictory, believing that this is a covert operation order from the mastermind, but when she routinely sends the instructions she receives back to the mastermind's subordinate server for confirmation, it triggers a serious warning within the system.The Mastermind believes that she and her makeshift team members are acting out of order.The Mastermind then sent her a transport plane to get off to complete the mission as soon as possible, while also sending a large pile of disorganized system logs to her memory bank......
Then, Miss N-4 and her temporary operations team came to Hao Ren in a daze."
Don't you think you can't do this job at all?"
Hao Ren looked at N-4 and felt very unreasonable, "Random orders, blank mission details, and nine times out of ten when you go back, you will be listed as a 'runaway element' by the mastermind......
Can't you report it to the Lord's Guardians first?
”N-4 said with a blank face, "The Mastermind's orders must be carried out, and this is the foundation of our ability to sustain us to this day. ”N-6 next to him also looked at the same thing: "The mastermind's orders must be executed, and the maintainer's work will naturally be completed." ”Nangong Sanba listened to their conversation on the side, and couldn't help but cover his head with his hand: "It's really difficult to communicate with different worldviews......"
And while speaking, the Giant Turtle Rock Platform had slowly approached the giant space station floating in the universe - Zenith.Its silvery-white ovoid shell shimmered on the holographic projection, and the behemoth dominated everyone's vision like a trumpet moon."
Nolan, get the traction beam ready," Hao Ren tapped lightly on the console, exhaling a cloudy breath, "It's time to get started." ”
