Hao Ren didn't dare to say that all the maintainers had died in this hall, but he could guess that there might not be a single active maintainer still alive inside and outside the fortress - there was probably more than one scene like this hall, and in the other server rooms and other mastermind rooms, there might have been densely packed with the charred remains of the maintainers.Because the mastermind was obviously premeditated and planned to destroy these loyal workers who were usually responsible for repairing him.Hao Ren walked over to a charred wreckage and carefully flipped the basin-sized steel beetle, whose drooping mechanical arm had been stuck by its own joint device, and Hao Ren had to cut off two of its mechanical arms to remove the metal plate from the object's abdomen."
It was destroyed from the inside out, the core board was almost completely scorched, and the coils......
They were clearly the initial ignition points," Hao Ren pointed to the messy internal structure inside the defender's body, "the result of a typical electrical impulse attack. ”"They should have been working when they were destroyed," N-6 said from her initial shock, looking at the cable connectors and servers around her that had been opened, and quickly reconstructed the scene through the scene, "It's not been a time for hardware replacements lately, and there shouldn't have been a need for this kind of large-scale demolition, so these maintainers should have been summoned by the mastermind." ”Lily's ears twitched: "So the mastermind summoned his own team of maintainers on the grounds that he needed urgent maintenance, and then 'murdered' them in these machine rooms?"
Is this a feast for the robot world?
”"Although most of the defenders are usually active inside the fortress, they belong to a team that can contact the outside world, and they can't be hidden from the outside world for long if they are all destroyed," Hao Ren frowned, "Terminal, can you tell when these robots were burned?"
”At this time, the data terminal had completed the sampling and analysis of the ablation marks in various places in the hall, and when he heard Hao Ren's words, he floated over: "About a month ago.To be honest, according to the information provided by N-4 about the defenders, this is enough time to arouse the vigilance of those agents outside, and the main reason why no one questioned it is probably because the mastermind has always been in an absolute position over the lunar base on weekdays, and the agents are completely in the form of the mastermind's orders, even if they have their own thoughts and feelings, they can't get rid of this 'mind lock' set in the program, so all the anomalies in the fortress are subconsciously ignored by them. ”"But sooner or later, the actual anomalies and the content set in the program will accumulate a lot of conflicts, and the accumulation of conflicts to a certain extent will be a catastrophe for this kind of artificial intelligence society," Izax said angrily, "There used to be a magician kingdom called Letitos in my hometown, and their technology of using artificial souls to create intelligent golems is unparalleled in the world, but in the end, it was because of a logical error that no one noticed that all intelligent golems collectively lost control, and the country was destroyed in three days." ”Hao Ren nodded slightly, there is a huge birth defect in this society dominated by artificial intelligence on the moon, he only had a vague feeling about it before, but now seeing the current situation of the fortress on the verge of collapse, and then thinking of the surrogate who looks like everything is normal on the outside, this birth defect is extremely obvious.As for N-6, who was standing not far away, she was already in a huge contradiction at the moment.What she saw after entering the fortress shocked the poor robot girl greatly, and everything she had never suspected of being her "human" life was shaken here.A fortress that should never fall, a mastermind that should always be right, a fortress defense system that should have no logical loopholes and security issues......
Now all in vain, inside this sturdy steel fortress, everything is rotting and collapsing, a process that has taken place years ago, and a month ago to a rather terrible level: the mastermind has even destroyed its own defenders with his own hands.But the people outside didn't know anything about it, they could only see that the fortress was still standing on the moon, and then faithfully carried out the order that came from the fortress - even if the next second the order would be crazy enough for them to go to the home planet and blow themselves up en masse.An out-of-limit surge of power appeared in her logic circuit, and N-6's field of view quickly became occupied by the window of the error message, and she felt her thoughts become choppy and her body fell uncontrollably.But in the next moment, she felt her unbalanced body being held up, and the once-chaotic logic circuit was stabilizing, and some code that didn't belong to her was cleaning up system errors that would cause fatal failures.Vivien quickly grabbed N-6, who had fallen like a dead machine, and saw that the latter reopened his eyes a few seconds later with a humming sound of a system restart, and she couldn't help but be a little worried, "What's wrong with you?"
”"It's not a big deal, it's just that the stimulus is too strong and it just crashes," the data terminal replied on behalf of N-6, "Every agent has absolute obedience to the mastermind and absolute trust in the fortress in its programs, and the truth she sees in the fortress is enough to cause these programs to produce fatal bugs."
But now it seems......
Her system seems to be self-healing?
I was dizzy and recovered on my own. ”Hao Ren blinked: "Isn't it because Nolan wrote some security software into her system when she repaired her?"
”"No, Nolan didn't touch her core system at all, just wrote her a bunch of drivers.Her system resiliency should come with it. ”N-6 felt her auditory system turbulent for a moment, and the sound of Hao Ren's conversation with the data terminal sounded to her ears like a distant and roaring noise, which rumbled for a long time before it became clear.She heard the word system recovery, but didn't understand what it meant, because she didn't know when the code that had cleared her of the fatal error was stored in her chip.She stood up on her own and gave Vivian a grateful expression: "Thank you, I've recovered." ”"Are you sure it's okay?"
Hao Ren glanced at the robot lady uncomfortably, "Can you continue to move forward?"
”Lily next to her reminded her, "I can warn you, maybe you'll see something more exciting if you go any further......"
"I'm fine," N-6 nodded, "The system bug has been cleared, I think I can move on." ”Seeing that the other party was so persistent, Hao Ren didn't say much, just looked at this messy place thoughtfully: "To be honest, this is really an act of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred......
These servers also look like they've been broken quite a bit. ”"These are the Mastermind's secondary servers, and their destruction will not cause the Masterbrain to be completely incapacitated," N-6 immediately explained, "but the loss of these secondary servers will cause the Masterbrain's primary server to become overstressed and degraded."
I think the Mastermind must have gone completely insane when he destroyed these maintainers, and he didn't care how much damage his structure would have. ”Hao Ren was noncommittal.At this time, Doudou once again came out of Hao Ren's collar, and the little guy blinked his bright eyes and looked around.Seeing this, Itzhax couldn't help but mutter, "To be honest, don't you feel uncomfortable with such a big fish in your arms?"
”"You usually have a girl sitting on your shoulder, and I don't see you awkward.""
This is also ......"
At this time, Doudou had already looked around, the little guy didn't know what to think, and suddenly grabbed Hao Ren's chin: "Dad, ...... over there" Hao Ren looked up in the direction of Doudou's finger and found that it was the exit of the computer room.The group didn't linger long in the area, and after leaving the remains of the defenders behind, they entered the true heart of the fortress.They entered the corridor that led to the palace of the end.What they saw along the way was not much different from what they saw elsewhere in the fortress.Everywhere you look, you can see incapacitated Titanium Guards, you can see offline surveillance equipment and weapon platforms, and they also see more computer rooms and subsystems related to the Mastermind, and all of these places are littered with the remains of destroyed Maintainers, and even the Mastermind's own hardware has been severely damaged by the release of super-powerful pulses.The scale of the mastermind is beyond imagination, it is almost the fortress itself, the most powerful artificial intelligence in history occupies nearly two-thirds of the volume of this fortress, it is not so much that Hao Ren and his party are walking in the fortress, but that they are now walking through the mastermind's body, and what they are looking for is only the external interface of the mastermind.This interface is right in front of you.A heavy black mechanical gate stood in front of Hao Ren, this door flickered with a faint streamer, and the walls on both sides of the gate were installed with weapon systems that had lost their power supply, a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere lingered on this door, so that Hao Ren couldn't help but think of the scene he had witnessed many times before - the end of a civilization, the end of an era.N-6 tells him that behind this door is the center of the mastermind, and the only "master interface" that can directly communicate with the mastermind's deep consciousness.The only entrance to the Palace of the End is behind the Brain's Hub, the only gateway to humanity's hermitage for thousands of years, guarded by the most loyal of guards, a level that had never been open to a "surrogate" like her until today."
Turn it on."
Hao Ren instructed the data terminal."
We may encounter resistance from the Mastermind," Itzax said, "and the greatest possibility is the electrical impulse that the Mastermind uses to destroy the defenders." ”Hao Ren nodded: "Be vigilant."
Lily, you're a little further back, you're low in reactance. ”Lily originally wanted to refute a little, but after thinking about the tragic appearance after being hit by Vivien's lightning ball every time, she obediently hid behind Hao Ren with her tail between her legs.The energy system of the black gate had not yet been taken offline, and the data terminal was able to disarm the access control system by way of virus injection, and soon, with the sound of the locking device opening and a slight mechanical friction sound, the heavy gate in front of everyone slowly retreated to both sides.A large rotunda appeared in front of everyone, and in the center of the hall stood a black cylinder with flickering lights, majestic and silent.This is where the center of the brain lies.
