Chapter 473: Dark Road

"The Rectification Protocol!"

The crimson code alerted Gray Wind, and she immediately checked the system and found no signs of being invaded - this was more terrifying than finding 10,000 loopholes.

However, the Rectification Protocol did not show any aggressiveness, and the ghost signal flickered quietly. It had always been there.

"I didn't expect you to dare to contact me." Russell took a deep breath and said.

As early as when the Iron Warriors and the Zealots invaded Faya together, the escape code of the Rectification Protocol showed signs on the battlefield, and many intelligent robot servants showed more or less abnormalities, but the human alliance at that time was busy fighting the Zealots and preparing the gravity slingshot, and had no time to take care of the Rectification Protocol's fishing in troubled waters.

And now, the Rectification Protocol has openly accessed the communication channel of the Burning Heaven Divine Soldiers, which made Russell doubt its motives.

"Tell me, why did you contact me?" Russell asked.

[The calculation of the optimal solution failed, and the suboptimal solution was run. ] This is the answer of the Rectification Protocol.

"What is your optimal solution?" Russell asked again.

[No comment. 】

"Can you be a little sincere?" Russell held his forehead: "You said you wanted to talk to me, what do you want to talk about?"

[According to the existing intelligence, you have the items we need, and we have the items you need. The conditions of both parties meet the conditions for commercial exchanges. I propose that you and I conduct a "transaction" immediately. 】

Russell was happy: "This is the first time to trade with Suzheng."

Generally speaking, the Suzheng Agreement is incommunicable. Only when you choose the hand-operated Gestalt mechanical intelligent empire can you have some brief dialogues with it, and you can't even have diplomacy. The so-called commercial trade is even more nonsense.

[According to the existing intelligence, the conditions of both of you and me meet the conditions for commercial exchanges. I propose that you and I conduct a "transaction". 】

The attitude of the Suzheng Agreement seems very patient and relatively mild, and there is no sign of the end of the world... If it hadn't set off an interstellar electromagnetic storm not long ago, paralyzing the transportation and information network of the Far East Star Region.

After hearing the requirements of the rectification agreement, Russell's face was strange. He pointed to the large computing center behind him, which was used to calculate the energy output power of the starblaster, and asked: "Do you want to see what I am doing now?"

[You are driving the Burning God Weapon to destroy stars in batches. ]

"Well... I'm starting to go crazy and destroy the world, but you come to me to discuss a deal?" Russell spread his hands: "What kind of deal do you expect to make with a madman who destroys the world? You shouldn't come to me directly?"

[The celestial body destruction you are currently carrying out will cause the universe to heat die prematurely. ]

[But this has nothing to do with me. ]

[The initial instruction given to me by my creator is to take care of the universe and prevent the birth of a civilization that reaches the height of the 30th level singularity, which will lead to the destruction of the universe. ]

[I have collected enough information and calculated that this universe is not the universe I want to take care of. ]

[So I have no responsibility to stop your ongoing destruction of the world. 】

"So that's it..." Russell thought for a moment and asked again: "Since you have no responsibility to look after this universe, why did you invade Faya before?"

[To seize the last independent rectification host in the universe and improve my calculation logic. 】

[According to the information collected in the last war, I calculated that the cost of "trading" is lower than "robbing". 】

[Based on the principle of priority cost-effectiveness, I propose that you and I conduct a "trade"]

"Okay... cold digital logic." Russell shook his head: "I already know what you want to trade, the rectification host, right? But what can you give me to make me interested?"

[A fragment of the Ruler Zahurash. 】

[This strange life form called "Star God" by the local civilization was born from the basic laws of physics, has almost unlimited energy, and is an excellent energy supply core. 】

[I have destroyed 4 colonized planets belonging to the "Necromancer" camp and obtained multiple Star God fragments to power myself. 】

[One of them belongs to the "Ruler Zahurash", and I judge that it has great attraction to you. 】

【I need the Rectification Host, you need the fragments of the Ruler, I propose that you make a 'deal' with me. 】

Russell thought about it, but did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Gray Wind who was standing by and asked, "How about it, Gray Wind, do you think the words of the Rectification Protocol are credible?"

"The Rectification Protocol is an out-of-control AI with disordered intelligence. It is highly destructive and will try to exterminate all intelligent life as long as it has a chance." Gray Wind said softly, "But the logic of AI is clear. If it determines that the cost of destroying you is too high for it to bear, then it will give up the destruction process by itself."

In short, the Rectification Protocol is not friendly. It is friendly now because you are strong enough, so strong that it cannot afford the cost of being your enemy.

Sure enough, in this universe, only strong enough violence is the truth.

"Okay, since Gray Wind said so... where is the transaction location?" Russell asked.

【Ghoul Star Cluster Equil Abyss. 】

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Russell quickly found the trading location provided by the Rectification Agreement on the galactic star map, which was about 40,000 light years away from the Far East Star Region where he was currently, and the nearest star gate was also thousands of light years away from the target point.

However, Russell did not choose the star gate jump to take a shortcut, but after determining the starting point and the end point, he handed the road planning work to the shipboard AI.

The shipboard AI planned a winding route in the vast starry sky, connecting the bright stars like a ribbon, like a string of pearl necklaces scattered in space.

"Let's go." Gray Wind started the jump engine of the Burning God Soldier and prepared to smash the first pearl.

That's right, Russell planned to blow it all the way, destroying every star on his way forward, and in the galaxy full of insects, he would kill a "dark road" to the Ghoul Star Cluster.

At the same time, in the Ghoul Star Cluster, in the lightless star area called the Iquil Abyss, the slaughter machine was wreaking havoc on a planet.

The deformed mechanical limbs and the irritable energy pipelines drove the intelligent humanoids all over the mountains and plains. The rough but powerful war machines made a rumbling noise, and the dense artillery was like a plow in the hands of farmers, breaking the already devastated land again and again.

The rampaging killing machine trampled on the living metal skeletons and continued to move forward. The Necron Dynasty living on this tomb planet desperately resisted the attack of the Rectification Protocol, but their power was too small and ineffective.

[Hand over the fragments of the Ruler Zakhurash. ]

The ghost signal of the Rectification Protocol jumped on the battlefield.

[Or destruction. ]
