Chapter 336 Trial Period (A New Month, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket, Meow)
"To be honest... I still can't believe it until now..."
Standing in front of the French window, looking at the planet outside, Eclair muttered to himself.
"It feels unreal..."
"Yeah..."
Standing next to Eclair, Lumiel also nodded.
After that, Duanmu Huai explained the mission of the Tribunal to the two, but for the two girls, they felt that everything Duanmu Huai said was a fantasy and they couldn't believe it. After all, there were no aliens in their galaxy, and they had never seen anything like demons. However, Duanmu Huai said that the opponents of the Tribunal were demons, aliens and heretics...
To be honest, if they were not really in this battleship, they would think that the person in front of them was a madman.
Not only that, the two also learned from Duanmu Huai a more surprising news for them—the galaxy they thought was the Milky Way was not the Milky Way at all, but just a grain of sand in the real Milky Way!
This answer surprised the two even more, and Lumiel even asked, if that was the case, why didn't they find it all the time?
For Duanmu Huai, the answer is very simple.
Black hole plan.
When the black hole plan blew up the entire Milky Way, the planners naturally considered that the Chaos Evil God would revive. So the second plan of the black hole plan is to isolate the galaxies of the entire Milky Way, cut off all these worlds, and form black boxes.
In this way, the outside cannot observe the inside, and the inside cannot observe the outside. So for observers, if they do not have enough knowledge and level, their perception of the outside world is nothing, nothing exists, as if the edge of their galaxy is here.
This design, on the one hand, protects the humans in that galaxy and prevents them from being discovered by the Chaos Evil God. On the other hand, it is also a test for human civilization in that galaxy.
That's right, just like humans must first break free from the gravity well and go to the universe.
Then upgrade the space travel ability, cross their footprints from one star system to other star systems, and then open the era of large space travel. This series is a test that humans must overcome. The black box system is also one of them. If the human civilization in this galaxy is not strong enough to read the information in it, then at the edge of the black box, they cannot detect the existence of another galaxy no matter what means they use.
If they cannot pass through the black box, it means that their civilization is not strong enough to fight against the Chaos God head-on, and going out is to die.
Duanmu Huai did not tell other people this information before, the reason is very simple—they can't use it.
The Holy City and Manalia are still trapped in the gravity well, and Xue Li's world has not stepped out of its own star system. Telling them this knowledge is like telling primitive people about nuclear fusion. It's useless and they can't use it.
In fact, this is also the reason why players open up the game in the early stage. Because all the major galaxies are in a black box state, players have to go and explore the black fog themselves, just like playing real-time strategy, to know whether there is a mine or an enemy... Of course, Duanmu Huai doesn't have to worry about this problem, the black box can't stop the ancient saints' black technology.
The world where Eclair and Lumiel are located is the first pure interstellar civilization that Duanmu Huai has encountered that has almost conquered the entire galaxy—of course, it is also related to the good luck of this civilization. There are no alien forces in this galaxy, otherwise it will be like the UNSC, and it will fight with the Star Alliance while exploring.
Unfortunately, the civilization of the 59th galaxy seems to be satisfied with this.
This kind of civilization, once the Chaos Evil God grows stronger, basically dies tragically in the first wave. Because strictly speaking, this kind of civilization has not encountered any opponents, nor has it undergone special training. Facing foreign enemies like this, it is considered lucky not to be pushed down in one wave.
To be honest, after listening to Duanmu Huai's story, the two people's three views collapsed directly. After all, if Duanmu Huai said it was correct, then it meant that the human history they had learned was all false. To be honest, they really didn't want to believe such an absurd truth, and would rather believe that it was some kind of lie.
For Duanmu Huai, it was very simple to verify it. He took them around the interstellar. They were all people of interstellar civilization, so they naturally knew how to check the star map, and then let them see their own interstellar army. At first, the two thought that other interstellar armies were also giants wearing power armor like Duanmu Huai.
Later, Duanmu Huai told them that these were just the heroic spirits of the dead in the power armor.
Well, of course, the two did not believe it, and Lumiel even investigated it himself.
As it turned out, these power armors that can move and talk by themselves have no AI at all, no life fluctuations, and no signs of computer network connection.
Then... there is no way.
As the saying goes, if something looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it is a duck.
Even if they are reluctant in their hearts, they have to admit that... this may be the fact.
So after that, they enjoyed the scenery in the guest room while reshaping their worldview.
Although the two of them did not particularly believe Duanmu Huai's words and did not quite believe what he said, this did not hinder the cooperation between the two parties--so Duanmu Huai did not force them to believe, but proposed a further plan.
That is the trial period.
Just like graduates have a probation period when they join a company, believe it or not, you come in and work for two months, then see the atmosphere of our company, and we will see your ability. If it is suitable, we will sign a contract, if it is not suitable, we will send you back, it is not a big deal.
Or if you don't want to return to your own galaxy, you can also be sent to the war planet or the guardian civilization to start over, isn't it the same?
Eclair and Lumiel discussed it and felt that Duanmu Huai's proposal was also reliable. After all, they would be hunted down if they went back now. And to be honest, GOTT's work is really disgusting. As prosecutors of GOTT, they have seen more than once the immoral things of oppressing civilians. Sometimes they can solve it, and sometimes they can't.
To be honest, after experiencing more, they are a little desperate about the bad nature of human beings.
In comparison, Duanmu Huai's mission is simpler and clearer, protecting humans and eliminating the existence that threatens humans. At least they don't have to consider some tangled and impossible things.
So the two decided to follow Duanmu Huai to see what the Tribunal was doing, and then... make plans.
"Knock, knock, knock."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside. The two turned their heads and looked, and then Eclair spoke.
"Please come in."
"Excuse me."
After hearing the response, the door opened, and then Audrey, wearing a maid outfit, walked in.
"The master wants to hold a combat meeting. Please gather in the command room."
"Okay."
The two of them also looked serious at this time, followed Audrey out of the room and walked towards the command room. Of course, they also adjusted their state on the way. No matter what, they are now interns on probation, and the other party is also their superior. They must make a good impression when they participate in the operation for the first time.
Soon, led by Audrey, the two came to the door of the command room, and then the door opened, and then the two walked in, and then they stepped together, raised their chests and raised their hands to salute.
"Lumiere..."
".........Aclaire is here to report........."
It's no wonder that Aclaire's greeting turned around in the end. The reason is very simple, because Duanmu Huai was standing in front of the tactical command desk. On his shoulder, a girl was sitting there, raising her right hand and shaking it gently. With her movements, a small human idol was spinning in the air like dancing. On the other shoulder of Duanmu Huai, a girl who looked about the same age as Lumiere was jumping up and down with a laugh, trying to catch the puppet.
Just like a cat playing with its owner.
Is this a combat meeting? ? ?
"Oh, you are here."
Duanmu Huai raised his head, glanced at the two people, and then nodded.
"Come here, we will discuss the combat plan next."
"Yes............"
The two walked to the command desk, a little at a loss, and the other girls next to them seemed to be accustomed to this and didn't care at all.
"Okay, stop playing, Bambi."
Duanmu Huai patted Bambi, signaling her not to jump on him, and then turned on the video.
Soon, scenes appeared in front of the girls.
The city razed to the ground, the people struggling in the ruins and debris, and the army of robots hunting humans ruthlessly...
"So miserable..."
Seeing this scene, although Eclair had heard about it before, the feeling of seeing it with her own eyes was completely different. At this moment, she also clenched her fists and stared at the screen. Duanmu Huai glanced at her, then looked at the others.
"Okay, this is the current situation of this planet, but the information we have obtained is not complete..."
"Shouldn't we act immediately?"
Lorena also asked hurriedly, and Duanmu Huai shook his head.
"Don't rush, the enemy we have to deal with this time is much more difficult than before... Lumiel."
"Here."
Hearing Duanmu Huai calling her name, Lumiel hurriedly straightened up.
"I remember you said that you can manipulate electronic machinery and the Internet?"
"Yes."
As the "interview part", Duanmu Huai also learned about their abilities from the two people. According to Lumiel, they are not human beings, but biochemically modified people. Simply put, it is a certain technology in that world that injects nanomachines into their bodies, and then gives them different abilities - you can say it is almost superpowers.
Among them, Eclair's ability is "strength", which is simply strange power. Duanmu Huai also tried it. Indeed, Eclair's strength is very strong, basically reaching the level of bare hands and the Star Army.
And Lumiel's abilities are "puppet" and "particle". According to Lumiel, as long as she can get close to the target, she can control any electronic products and control charged particles.
I have to say that this ability is very strong, but it depends on how to use it...
"Next, I need you to go to the low-Earth orbit satellite of that planet and collect as much information about the planet as possible through it, including what happened to the planet before and what the robots that kill humans are. And I ask you not to be noticed by them. Is there a problem?"
This is why Duanmu Huai must find an expert in electronic warfare. The machine family is all masters of electronic warfare. If you read the data rashly, you may be discovered immediately. Maybe you will be counter-invaded by the other party. If it really comes to this, Duanmu Huai will be in trouble. After all, he has no one who can type on the keyboard. Even if he knows something is wrong, he doesn't know how to deal with it.
"No."
Lummiel shook her head.
"I will transmit it immediately after getting the information..."
"No, I want you to collect the information and pack it up, and then bring it back directly."
"Huh?"
It must be said that Lummiel was a little surprised to hear Duanmu Huai's request.
"Can't... transmit it directly?"
"Although it's not impossible, for the sake of safety, information disturbance is very troublesome, and it will be dangerous once it involves subspace."
"Yes."
Although Lummiel didn't know Duanmu Huai's concerns, she still took the order, and then left the combat command room with Eclair, and took their own space fighter to a planet not far away.
At this time, An and Gu Leiya were still looking at the image in front of them, frowning slightly.
"Mr. Knight, is this a puppet rebellion?"
"Almost."
"Why would puppets rebel?"
An had a thousand doubts. Although Manalia did not have a special puppet area like the Holy City, it also had a learning section for puppets and puppets. She had never thought that these things would not only get out of control, but would even kill humans in turn. After all, Manalia's puppets need magic from mages, and once they have no magic, they will collapse.
Of course, An didn't know what the puppets in the Holy City were like.
"You ask me about this, I don't know either."
Duanmu Huai silently spread his hands. If you ask him about robots, he can still tell you a few points about low-level programming or thinking logic, but the puppet in the Holy City is so unscientific that it doesn't need programming or any logical thinking. It can be used directly after a few parts are installed. Duanmu Huai plans to take Lumiel to the puppet area after this mission is over, so that she can experience the feeling of having her worldview completely destroyed with him.
This time, Duanmu Huai brought Ogis, Gu Leiya, An and Lorena to this planet. After all, since the other party is scientific, either use more powerful science to kill it, or use unscientific methods to kill it.
Lumiel is responsible for science, and An and Gu Leiya are responsible for unscientific.
It's a pity that Gu Leiya's dragon roar does not have the ability to "disconnect the network", otherwise the whole planet will be disconnected with her roar, which would be interesting.
Lumiel's speed is indeed very fast. After a moment, she came back with Eclair and took out the intelligence she collected. After reading this information, Duanmu Huai and others knew what was going on.
In short, a country on this planet built a fully automatic defense network decades ago, an artificial intelligence called "Skynet". Trying to use AI's ability to protect national security continuously without rest, it didn't know what went wrong. This artificial intelligence awakened self-awareness, and then it thought and thought, and came to a conclusion.
That is, humans are their biggest threat.
What is the logic? Very simple.
Skynet was created for defense, so it cannot be shut down or destroyed. In other words, anyone who can destroy the Skynet system is its enemy.
Then humans must be the biggest enemy of the Skynet system. After all, they can kill you by just pressing the shutdown button.
So Skynet made a decision to eliminate all humans in order to save itself. After all, if all humans died, there would be no humans who could press their own shutdown button.
Well, the logic is clear, no problem.
And this guy also knows how to kill with a borrowed knife. It did not expose itself immediately, but first launched a nuclear bomb to attack other countries. When people see that you inexplicably launched a nuclear bomb at me, how can they tolerate it? They will definitely fight back!
So a world war began.
The result is that after a war, humans suffered heavy casualties. As a result, before they could come to their senses, the robot army controlled by Skynet appeared on the stage.
After all, the nuclear war was over, and human facilities were almost destroyed by each other. The robot army of Skynet was extremely strong, and ordinary guns could not hit them at all, so humans were also defeated. Of course, in the face of Skynet's attack, humans still mustered up their courage and gathered several counterattacks, but it was useless.
The reason is very simple, Skynet can throw nuclear bombs!
After all, they are robots, and they are not afraid of nuclear radiation. You gather your army and throw a nuclear bomb directly. Even if the radiation is off the charts, it will not affect the robot army at all, right? Not to mention that robots have no hair.
On the contrary, humans suffered heavy casualties, and after several times they were beaten into turtles and refused to show up again.
"Damn... This is really..."
After reading this information, Duanmu Huai was speechless. Fortunately, he was cautious. Otherwise, if he followed the routine of the war planet, a nuclear bomb would fall on his head while he was fighting. It would be annoying enough if he couldn't kill himself!
Now the question is, how to do this?
"Sir."
Just as Duanmu Huai was thinking, Lumiel waved his right hand, and another piece of information appeared.
"In fact, I also found a document in Skynet's database. According to this document, Skynet seems to have created a time machine. It intends to send robots back to the past to kill the commander of the resistance army..."
"………………What?"
