Chapter 1550 Lift-Off
The "strange stone" that had been lying in the forest for a full week finally moved.
Early in the morning, the little animals living nearby were disturbed by the strange noises coming from the big pit. After a lot of confusion, they confirmed that this was not a new explosion. There was a sign, so some brave guys secretly crossed the woods and bushes and lay on the edge of the impact crater to watch the movement of the "strange rock falling from the sky". They saw that the culprit who had smashed the big hole in the forest had taken on a new look at some point. The once black shell was now shining with silvery white light, and a beautiful halo was floating on its shell, as if The big lake in the forest is rippled, and it looks really beautiful.
And a weird buzzing sound, like wind blowing in a cave, continued to come from the belly of this strange thing.
Several small beasts with gray-white pointed ears grabbed the tree branches and occupied a high place, hissing and roaring at the silver-white stone that was glowing and making strange noises. They were reminded of their former home with annoyance - - A beautiful and majestic tree hole - it was destroyed by this guy who fell from the sky, and now its remains are under the belly of that strange thing. The little beasts grabbed the tree branches and roared at the nesting thing from a distance that they thought was quite safe, trying as hard as ever to drive away this uninvited guest.
But this time they seem to have really succeeded.
Because the silver-white strange thing really started to float up slowly after it continued to buzz for a while. There were several long strips in the back part of it that emitted bright blue light, and some ravines in the middle of the middle also emitted bright blue light. Under the bright light, under the influence of these lights, this seemingly heavy behemoth seemed to have lost its weight, floating lightly in the air, and flying higher and farther...
The damn thing finally flew away.
The little animals in the forest stared blankly at this incredible scene, and then finally started to cheer - or they were just running away and howling in confusion after being frightened. Several little beasts with gray-white pointed ears grabbed the branches of the tree and charged. On the edge of the pit, he looked at the big pit left by the silver-white strange thing after it flew away, and tried hard to find his original beautiful and majestic tree hole in the pit - but found nothing.
They chattered and exchanged opinions, and finally decided that this place was not suitable for settling down, and decided to move to a place in the forest with many shelves and stone trees, where they planned to find a beautiful and magnificent tree hole...
"How does it feel to be flying again?"
Hao Ren asked with a smile as he looked at Nolan, who was standing next to the projector in the center of the bridge, checking the data of the spacecraft with a high-spirited expression.
"Awesome!" Nolan put his hands on his hips and swung his silver ponytail behind his head. "I thought I would really develop some kind of heavenly disorder. I worried about it for several days in vain! It turns out that I am indeed a natural lover. What a flying thing – the feeling after you lift off is so good!!”
"That's good," Hao Ren smiled and nodded. The ship's wife had been lying in bed sickly for a week, and she finally regained her energy today. This is really something to be happy about, "How is the situation of the spaceship?"
"It's better than expected!" Nolan seemed really happy, so much so that when she spoke, she used holographic projections to create a bunch of special effects of fireworks and lanterns beside her. "The power furnace is running surgingly, and the protection The shield is stable and solid, and the weapon system is as powerful as if it was newly installed! Although the main gun still seems to have some problems, I feel that it will be able to use it to blast anything in front of it in a few hours!"
"Okay, okay, I understand your happy mood, but now it's better to sail the ship seriously." Hao Ren waved his hand to Nolan, asking the shipgirl who was already a little too happy to calm down, "We still have to be wary of this The Divine Storm in the Star Area - Although the latest monitoring information from the drone swarm shows that the Divine Storm is only active in the deep space area and has generally calmed down now, you might be able to taunt them again if you are too arrogant. .”
This sentence was indeed quite effective. Nolan immediately jumped like a frightened rabbit, and then looked around shrinkingly - as if she could weaken the presence of her hundreds-meter-long spaceship in the universe. Feeling like.
Hao Ren nodded happily: Compared with the experienced "grey fox mercenary" who was originally brought out of the dream world of Zhuom, Nolan is much more lively now. Perhaps this is why this AI lady was originally designed A certain “true personality”?
The spacecraft quickly left the planet's atmosphere, but it did not accelerate too much. Instead, it turned on various jamming and covert action equipment and then moved towards the high orbit at a leisurely speed. In front of its flight trajectory, this The miraculous space station-"Zenith" built by the original inhabitants of this planet is shining in the afterglow of the sun.
Hao Ren turned his head to the two robot girls sitting not far away: N-4 and N-6.
Other "agents" were also on board the spacecraft. After N-4 and Hao Ren and his party reached a consensus, the ground action troops led by N-4 (including those who had escaped before) also became giants under the orders of their commanders. The temporary passengers on the Turtle Platform are now on standby in the cabin of the spacecraft, while N-4 and N-6, as representatives, stay on the bridge to answer Hao Ren's questions at any time.
N-4 and N-6 have been observing this place curiously. They were extremely amazed by this aircraft built with unknown technology and so advanced that it was almost incomprehensible. Especially after she took off, this surprise became even more obvious.
Hao Ren was observing them.
Curiosity - another extremely human trait.
Although the indigenous people of this planet have made average progress in aerospace technology (one of the evidences is that they have not yet manufactured critical equipment such as jump engines), they seem to have outstanding talents in the field of artificial intelligence. The artificial intelligence known as "agent" not only has nearly complete emotional functions, but also has abilities such as curiosity and learning that can allow it to develop independently. This is indeed an incredible achievement.
Because it means they can evolve themselves.
N-4 has already said a lot about the abnormal situation of the "Master Brain", and now Hao Ren has a general grasp of the whole matter.
It sounds like the main brain did not malfunction suddenly, but there was a gradual process, and at the beginning of the process, no one was aware of it.
Starting a few years ago, the huge artificial intelligence began to generate some self-contradictory instructions. At first, the number of these erroneous instructions was very small, and they almost did not involve important decisions, and could be regarded as runtime glitches—— The main brain itself has a mechanism to correct these failures. Its thirteen servers are like a voting body. After all, it is only a few of them that generate wrong instructions. Normally running servers will directly eliminate those problematic codes-this was the case in the beginning. of.
But things have been getting worse since then.
For unknown reasons, the mastermind's error log was hidden by itself (perhaps the most fatal of all failures), so the maintainers in the bastion were unaware that more and more errors were accumulating on the mastermind's servers. Wrong instruction. At first, there were only one or two servers that generated error instructions, and the frequency was only three or four times in a month or two, but then the problem became more serious. Error instructions appear more and more frequently, and the number of servers that generate these error instructions is increasing, while the number of normal servers that can eliminate these error instructions is naturally becoming fewer and fewer.
It’s not that the master brain’s server is unmaintained, let alone lacks updates—in fact, as the most important decision-making machine in the survivor society, the master brain’s motherboard and main logic circuits are replaced every hundred years, and other hardware is inspected and repaired every year. Maintenance, and processes such as system self-checks are so frequent that they are performed every day. According to N-4, the current motherboard and logic circuits of the main brain were actually replaced less than 20 years ago, and they are far from being in a state where failure can occur.
But the failure occurred inexplicably, and the moment the mastermind's ratio of normal servers to failed servers reversed, its error was finally exposed.
It issued two completely opposite orders, one of which was inexplicable: the first order prohibited the circulation of intelligence about the unidentified spacecraft on the home planet, and prohibited any personnel from approaching the area where the spacecraft "crashed"; the second order However, the order was directly sent to a dozen agent soldiers, including N-4, ordering them to investigate the situation of the unknown spacecraft.
At first N-4 did not realize that these two orders were contradictory. She thought it was a secret operation instruction issued by the mastermind, but when she routinely sent the instructions she received back to the mastermind's subordinate server for confirmation , but triggered a serious warning in the system.
The mastermind believes that she and her temporary team members are acting independently of the instructions.
Then the mastermind sent her a transport plane and asked her to set off as soon as possible to complete the task. At the same time, he also sent a lot of chaotic system logs to her memory bank...
Then, Miss N-4 and her temporary action team came to Hao Ren in a daze.
"Don't you think this job is impossible to do?" Hao Ren looked at N-4, feeling very unreasonable, "The orders are messy, the details of the mission are completely blank, and there is a high probability that you will be arrested after you go back. The mastermind is classified as an 'out-of-control element'...can't you first report to the mastermind's defenders for repair?"
N-4 had an expressionless face and said solemnly: "The mastermind's orders must be executed. This is the basis for our ability to maintain our current status today."
N-6 next to him was equally serious: "The mastermind's orders must be executed, and the maintainers' work will be completed naturally."
Nangong Sanba was listening to their conversation and couldn't help but cover his forehead with his hands: "It's really difficult to communicate with different worldviews..."
While talking, the Giant Turtle Yantai had slowly approached the giant space station floating in the universe - the Zenith.
Its silver-white oval shell shone brightly on the holographic projection, and this behemoth occupied everyone's field of vision like a small moon.
"Nolan, prepare the tractor beam," Hao Ren tapped the console lightly and exhaled, "Get ready to start work."
