Chapter 1226 Civilization Choice

Mercury stood on the gravity take-off and landing platform, watching one combat spacecraft undergoing emergency transformation, a large number of modified personnel repeatedly entered and exited, modified the operating system, blocked the AI ​​module, and debugged the new encrypted channel at the same time.

The scale of the interstellar battlefield is too large. Even in the same fleet, often separated by several space units, any order from the rear will have an unpredictable impact on the battlefield.

Confusing people's hearts and manipulating machines to issue modification commands is definitely the area of ​​expertise of 'ai'.

Especially this "intelligent equipment crisis", according to the data, the "distributed insurgency system" is adopted.

Even if the host system is sealed, the enemy will not be affected too much, because any rebellious intelligent weapon may become a new leader, and even every mechanical body is a rebellious leader. They are a Gestalt rebellion. The so-called 'revolution' is a dynamic system that is interrelated and independent of each other.

Thinking of this, Mercury has a headache, which means that even if the crisis is resolved, any machine, even if it is a civilian machine or a low-intelligent machine, may become the new "intelligent machinery leader".

Some people may be curious, why do AI have to be enabled even after it has been rebelled once?

Actually, this is not the case.

Alfa people have developed a large number of "mind power centers" to replace ai's authority.

But after all, you are a mechanical civilization, and there will always be a vast sea of ​​machine codes, data, and signals. During the flow of this process, I don’t know where I suddenly flashed and a wild artificial intelligence jumped out. That’s a high probability that I have to do. .

Mercury once heard a joke when she went to the Mirtas' military academy to study.

There are two things that cannot be avoided in the life of mechanical civilization, the mechanical revolution and the mechanization of species.

The Mirta people struggled with this and developed a system of thought power.

Alpha persons were also seriously trapped in this and even more unlucky.

‘Technological trap, servant civilization…’

Mercury closed his eyes and felt a little helpless about the future of his own civilization.

The Mirta Federation is the first third-level civilization to establish diplomatic relations in the Alpha civilization.

The diplomatic relations between the two sides have been extremely good.

The Federation can be said to be an excellent big brother.

The other party did not engage in oppressive behavior, such as military occupation, economic colonization, market dumping, and mechanical transformation.

On the contrary, the other party not only encourages itself not to rely too much on foreign technology, but also to develop its own civilization's technological tree, but also to develop its own civilization's world and cultural outlook before the invasion of interstellar culture.

In this way, after stepping into the interstellar world, we will not be defeated by the surging interstellar culture waves.

Even some of the information from the Civilized Parliament was opened to them.

This gave them a relative understanding of the different civilizations in the universe.

But these are not without cost.

Two mechanical revolutions are a heavy price.

Later, Mercury learned that the Milts had specially searched for tens of thousands of intelligent species planets and found species like Alpha people, which had a degree of 50% similarity to them during the primitive civilization period.

Next, just wait quietly for them to develop mechanical civilization.

Then, the crises, choices, trial and error encountered by Alpha people in the process of developing mechanical civilization were valuable civilization test materials for the Mirta people.

This is a conspiracy!

"General, the Star Tour Academy sent a fleet of Mirtas and star armor."

Her secretary trotted to her and took out a pen and paper.

When Mercury saw this, she was stunned for a moment. She hadn't seen such antiques in many years.

After signing, the third-level battleships and third-level star armor belonging to the Mirta people were transported over.

Mercury looked up and saw interstellar giant beasts breaking through the atmosphere, and their scarlet eyes gave people a feeling of destruction of the world.

Even with Alpha's most advanced technology, it can only produce semi-finished products of third-level star armor. At present, there are thousands of mature star armors, densely packed, and the energy cannons on their bodies alone exceed the largest ones of their combat spacecraft. caliber.

Not only Mercury looked silently, but other military commanders also looked silently.

The eyes of these star armor seemed to be human, and they were looking around with interest.

The unique "mind power life" of the Mirta people can offset the pollution of the "mechanical revolution".

"Did you feel something?" Mercury said suddenly.

However, before her adjutant could answer, she flew directly to one of the star armors and performed the combined operation familiarly.

In an instant, Mercury's sight appeared in the alloy eyes of hundreds of star armors.

As a senior commander who once studied in the Mirta Military Academy, it is naturally no problem to control the Star Armor.

She even participated in some militarization research on "mind motivation" and "mind power".

Although the two species have many similarities to some extent, the unique "consciousness system" between the two sides is still different.

In terms of mechanical manipulation, "mind power" has a wider scope of application and is more efficient, so we can point out the mecha technology.

But the "mind power" seems to have more potential in big data computing.

Communication sounded—

A string of strange numbers lit up from the retina.

Who would contact me at this time and use the Star Armor encrypted channel?

A tentative attack by a rebel robot?

Mercury frowned and looked at the communication code. There was no beginning of any official department. It was undoubtedly a black number.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

Finally, she chose access, and while accessing, she chose signal detection and coordinate traceability.

However, the holographic projection that appeared under her nose was a person who shocked her.

"It's you?!"

"In order to protect our independence, it is impossible for the Mirta people to install monitoring and monitoring equipment on this batch of star armor, and at our level, it is impossible for them to do anything about the other party's third-level technology. Similarly, In a short time, those 'rebellious smart machines' could not invade here; so, at least before the war, it was a communications safety zone."

Ying Hu's expression was as calm as ever.

Mercury felt that she was becoming more and more unable to understand such a person. In her impression, this person was always a stern person, and could even be said to be an inhumane human-shaped political machine.

That's why he was liked by the elders of the Void Elders' Courtyard.

"As the deputy chief of staff of the base camp, I will make the following arrangements for you..."

As Ying Huo said, Mercury's expression changed from shock to look ugly. According to the other party's combat plan, the place she was going was not the main battlefield at all, but the edge of the edge of the edge of the battlefield. This was undoubtedly a kind of thing for her. insult.

"I am the best fleet commander. Will the elders agree if you make such arrangements?" Mercury asked coldly.

"Well, I'm most likely not going to agree, so at that time, you just need to leave the battlefield during wartime. I will transfer all your trusted subordinates to the same fleet."

"You want me to treason!?" Mercury's voice rose octave directly.

"It depends on how you understand the concept of 'traitorism'. In my understanding, the survival of civilization is the first priority. Choices that violate the first priority are all 'traitorism'."

"You just don't watch this war? I can see that this military plan was written by a master and the winning rate is very high. As long as we clear out all the military forces of that group of "intelligent weapons", the rest will naturally You can cook slowly.”

"I'm not saying that this war will definitely lose, but that I will leave a spark for civilization."

Mercury couldn't help but rub the second temple, which was connected to the pupils between his eyebrows.

"You are not the ones who pretend to be a group of AIs? The infiltration of that group of AIs is so strong? Their virtual invasion technology can already invade our home star?"

"We may not lose, but you may not be able to accept the result of winning."

"What's the meaning?"

Mercury realized that the other party was finally going to talk about the key points.

"The two mechanical revolutions have far exceeded the upper limit of a second-level civilization. Even if it is suppressed this time, can any development related to machinery continue to advance? Who is responsible for AI development?"

Mercury was silent. She had already read the horror of the "intelligent weapon crisis" from the information.

This mechanical revolution has never been known for its military power. What is really threatening is actually its nature. Any machine that is still operating may become the leader of the next "intelligent and mechanical crisis".

Who can withstand the countless intellectual and mechanical crises?

"So, the choice is very obvious. Either give up the direction of mechanical civilization, or—" Ying Huo paused:

“Collectively transformed into mechanical life.”

Mercury's three eyes widened at the same time.
