Chapter 833 I, Cortana, Just Die and Jump From Here...
The Master Chief's speed was really fast, and it didn't take long for him to appear in front of Fang Zheng in a transport plane.
After meeting Fangzheng, his first words were.
"When are we leaving?"
"and many more."
Although Fangzheng was very satisfied with Master Chief's swift and resolute actions, there were still some things that he had to clarify with the other party before that.
"I agree to go with you to stop the missionaries' plan to wipe out human beings, but I have a condition to make clear."
"………condition?"
"Strictly speaking, this is not a transaction."
Fangzheng spread his hands and stared at the Master Chief in front of him.
"I'm just telling you in advance what I'm going to do next, so that you can be mentally prepared. As for whether you object or not, I don't care. Do you understand?"
"... Let's talk."
The Master Chief didn't hesitate much, and nodded quickly. For him, saving human beings is the most important thing. As for the others... The Master Chief doesn't particularly care.
But the next moment, what Fang Zheng said made the Master Chief nervous.
"Reassembler."
"...recombiner?"
"That's right, I will take the missionary's restructuring machine away. This is not a transaction, I'm just telling you, I am very interested in the structure of the restructuring machine, so I will take this thing for research. I will send You promise that this thing will not appear in any corner of the world after I take it away, but that's it, if you want to stop me, or object, please feel free, but I will not change my request."
"………I see."
This time, the Master Chief only hesitated for a moment, then nodded. But hearing his answer, Cortana cried out immediately.
"Sergeant?!"
"Cortana, stopping the Missionaries is the most important thing now."
"Very well, now that we have reached a consensus, let's get ready to go."
Seeing that the Master Chief was so sensible, Fang Zheng snapped his fingers in satisfaction, and then Iona summoned her hull from the subspace again——Originally, the Eternal Class hadn't been fully repaired, but after getting After knowing the situation on the Master Chief's side, Fang Zheng also used his own time manipulation to speed up the restoration of the Eternal Extinction Level.
Afterwards, Fangzheng immediately led everyone up to the Eternal Extinction Level, started it quickly, and then saw the Eternal Extinction Level flying towards the exit of the gravity well.
"Okay, let's solve the second problem...we still have a little time before reaching the target location..."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked at the Master Chief, who nodded, and then he took out the SD card from the back of the helmet and put it in Fang Zheng's hand.
Soon, the miniature AI emerged from it, and she looked quite disturbed, as if she was about to be abducted by human traffickers... Well, Fangzheng is not incomprehensible, after all, for AI, this It's basically the rhythm of tearing her open.
"Nimf, get her done."
"OK."
Hearing Fang Zheng's order, the little angel stretched out her hand and waved it lightly in the air. Soon, several screens appeared in front of her, and a series of intricate characters popped out of them. And Nimf looked at these characters intently, and after a while, she couldn't help but let out a "huh" in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"This AI...is infected with a virus inside."
"Virus?"
Hearing Nimf's answer, Fangzheng glanced at Cortana who looked a little flustered.
"It seems that your firewall is not very good, is the UNSC's anti-virus ability so poor?"
"No, this virus is a bit different, master."
And Nimf shook her head.
"It was infected through some kind of biological means... It disturbed the logical thinking of the AI subject to a certain extent. Fortunately, because the AI program is quite old, and there are too many discarded and accumulated data, so that the logic virus does not It is not fully infected with mutations.
"..."
Hearing Nimf's answer, Cortana's expression was extremely complicated, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"I need to activate these waste materials and completely delete this part of the logic loop."
While speaking, Nimfu raised her hands again, and quickly beat the horse in the air. Along with her movements, Cortana's figure gradually became a little unstable. She curled up her body as if in great pain, and the miniature image couldn't help trembling because of it. Soon, the roaring electronic sound from before sounded.
"I hate her, I hate that woman!!"
"Do you know what she said after the first game of chess with me!?"
"He always likes to act alone!!"
"You made the wrong decision!!"
At this moment Cortana's language had become fragmented, and the Master Chief stood beside her silently, watching her. But soon, Cortana's voice suddenly became gloomy and cold.
"Why did she do this? Why did she only let me live for seven years? Seven years!! What power does she have to decide my life?! I am her most proud work! She can't treat me like this! I hate her!! "
"It seems that the logical thinking of this AI is a bit problematic."
Hearing Cortana's complaints like venting, Fang Zheng shook his head, then he stretched out his fingers and tapped on the SD card.
"Hey, I said, you are too extreme."
"...Eh? What did you say?"
Cortana seemed to have heard Fang Zheng's words, she raised her head and stared at Fang Zheng.
"You don't understand what happened to me at all! My lifespan was determined from birth!"
"Come on, you're not the only one whose lifespan is determined at birth."
Fangzheng pouted.
"Don't tell me you don't know. There are many children who are born with terminal illnesses. Many of them don't live to be seven years old. Don't they die? Besides, human beings are different from AI. Anyway, you still have consciousness. Enjoyed it for seven years. Those children can't remember things when they are two or three years old. Well, you can still remember how you were created, can't you?"
"I...but..."
"And I'm not talking about you. You really need to change your thinking direction. Look, you said you lived for seven years. If everything you encountered in these seven years was good, shouldn't you be happy that you spent a lot of time?" Seven meaningful years? If nothing good happens to you in these seven years..."
Fangzheng spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.
"Then congratulations, the days of suffering are coming to an end soon, why do you still have dissatisfaction?"
"you you………!!"
Facing Fang Zheng's words, Cortana was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. Immediately afterwards, she suddenly screamed, fell down and sat down with her head in her arms, and then disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, Nimf also waved her hand and closed the window in front of her.
"Finished."
Along with Nimf's words, Cortana's figure reappeared, but compared to before, she looked much more stable now, and she no longer lost her temper as if she had entered menopause.
"Cortana..."
At this time, the Master Chief also hurried up, watching her, and Cortana waved her hand when she heard the Master Chief's voice.
"I, I'm fine...Master Chief, I'm sorry...I caused you so much trouble before, I feel better now...Thank you."
"You're welcome, anyway..."
And just when Fangzheng was about to say something, suddenly, Iona's voice sounded.
"Commander! An enemy fleet is found ahead!"
"Oh?"
Hearing Iona's report, Fang Zheng turned his head hastily and looked in the direction of the screen, but the next moment, Fang Zheng's eyes widened in surprise.
"What the hell is that!?"
I saw a huge battleship slowly emerging from the clouds, it looked like a stone pillar erected, and the Star Alliance warships around it looked quite small——no, even if it was the same as Yi Compared to Oona's Eternal Destroyer, this weird warship is ridiculously big!
"The information has been found!"
At the same time, a circle of light flashed in Nimf's eyes, and she immediately locked onto the target.
"This is the flagship of the forerunners—the Mantle of the World!"
"This thing...it's a bit too big..."
Looking at the battleship in front of him, Fangzheng didn't know what to say for a while, but soon he came back to his senses.
"Plans change, don't act rashly!"
It is not unreasonable for Fang Zheng to make this judgment, because according to Nimfu's detection, this warship is 142KM long, 138KM wide, and 371KM high. A battleship can stand shoulder to shoulder with it!
Iona's Eternal Class is only 346M long. If this forerunner warship is compared to a sperm whale, then Iona is also a barracuda. And the largest battleship in the Royal Navy's fleet, the Archon-class aircraft carrier Unicorn, which Fangzheng currently has in his hands, is only 3 kilometers away, which is simply not comparable to it.
"It's troublesome now..."
Although he knew for a long time that the forerunner was strong, Fang Zheng still felt a little tricky when he saw the exaggerated size of the opponent's battleship.
Next... what to do?
