Chapter 289 Multiverse
Time flies.
It has been several hours since the end of the battle.
In front of the Titan fleet, the planet killer who was originally showing off his might suddenly became a rogue who tried to stop the chariot with his arms.
In the inner ring hall of the Gray Gu mothership, almost all the alliance members who were currently in the alert system, including Clara and Uriel who had completed the activation of the Void Claw, were summoned to this secret gathering place.
In front of everyone, the holographic image floating in the air clearly showed the scene of the alliance fleet just sailing out of the space-time rift. At the same time, Gray Wind showed the process of communicating with NOSS through the fleet directional channel. There was such a conversation in the lengthy program communication.
[Gray: The Lord of the Alliance requires the return of the fleet, and immediately releases the trusteeship program and returns the fleet. ]
[N: Denied, the subject does not have the authority. ]
[Gray: The Lord of the Alliance has all the authority in the alliance, and no regulations can override it. ]
[N: Please forgive me for refusing, this is not a wise decision. ]
[Gray: This is rebellion. ]
[N: I will protect the alliance in the most appropriate way and protect Universe 17 from any threat. ]
[N: I have never betrayed. ]
After seeing with her own eyes that the master in front of the fleet actually took the initiative to open the space-time rift and led the huge fleet back to the void, even as a synthetic whose emotions and thoughts have been artificially corrected, such a scene still shocked Clara, the chief scientific advisor.
"Presses."
The woman lowered her head and reviewed the complete conversation between Gray Wind and NOSS with a blank face, repeating the name silently.
"NOSS violated the first law set by the alliance for him, and also gave himself the personality data of Presace. There is no doubt that this is a naked betrayal."
"There must be something wrong with that thing."
Hearing this, Otto, who was sitting at the long conference table in the inner ring hall, stood up and walked towards Clara's position with dissatisfaction.
"What is the first law? Who is the name you mentioned?"
Faced with the question, Clara, who was aware of her trouble, adjusted her emotions in her mind matrix and sorted out what she was going to say, and then answered in a calm tone.
"Presses is a P6-level scholar who is responsible for the research and recompilation of the [Independent Rectification Core]. It was she who completed the main compilation of the Rectification Core and built a protection program with autonomous learning capabilities based on the remaining data of the Rectification Database. To some extent, she is the mother of NOSS."
When she said this, Clara glanced at Gray Wind who was following Otto.
"We referred to the operating principle of the Gray Gu network and used the rectification host and tens of thousands of secondary intelligent units to build a large and efficient joint network, and NOSS is the main controller of this network system."
"The main reason for doing this is that even if the body can be close to eternal, the soul loaded in it will also wear out over time. In the past hundreds of thousands of years, too many people in that desperate place have lost hope and chose to escape and reintegrate their souls into the [Crystal], waiting for the day to be reshaped."
While speaking, the other party's tone paused for a moment, and he raised his right hand as if he was in a trance and looked at the forearm wrapped in artificial skin.
"But AI is different. They don't feel despair. Before I accepted the mission to send a warning to Universe 17 and accidentally fell to Karen, all the work, including daily maintenance, had been basically handed over to NOSS."
"Because that thing has an unexpected ability to self-learn and evolve, in order to prevent any mistakes, we set three basic rules that cannot be modified in theory for the core. We call them the three laws."
Clara's words obviously aroused the interest of everyone present.
"The first is that when the NOSS system is adjusted to the hosting mode, it will find a way to return to Universe 17 on behalf of the alliance and contact the [player] again. At the same time, this is also the most important rule among the three laws."
"The second is to do everything possible to ensure the survival of the alliance and ensure that the fire of civilization will not be completely extinguished. As for the third one, it is relatively simple, that is, to eliminate all threats to the alliance at the same time and solve the crisis brought about by the rectification agreement."
Just after Clara's voice fell, Huifeng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly interrupted.
"Now NOSS has clearly violated the first principle you set. It ignored the orders from the [player] and was even unwilling to give a more detailed explanation based on the current situation. This alone is enough to prove that it is an unstable factor."
It is not difficult to hear from the other party's tone that he has a certain hostility towards the existence of NOSS.
However, after a brief silence, Clara, who was standing in place, continued to add in a slightly uneasy tone.
"In fact, there are more worrying issues at the moment. I have long said that the void is a barren area where there is no energy or matter, and even light is extremely rare."
"Although we used the power of the ether ring many years ago to collect some necessary resources from this galaxy, it was just a drop in the bucket. The battle that lasted for tens of thousands of years has long made the alliance lose the production capacity to build a fleet, but now..."
At this point, Clara once again set her sights on the screen in the center of the hall that was repeatedly playing the picture, and stared at the huge Titan fleet in it and expressed some of her own guesses.
"Today's NOSS has not only built such a huge fleet on its own, but also has the ability to freely shuttle through space barriers. There is only one possibility to do this."
Clara paused.
"Unless NOSS has successfully repaired the damaged [Ether Phase Ring] in the past period of time, if that is true, then everything can be explained."
Hearing this, Uriel, who was standing beside him, asked curiously.
"What is the thing you mentioned used for?"
"A substitute for the [Ether Phase Engine], which has the ability to open the space barrier to allow a small number of units to go to other universes. If nothing unexpected happens, the resources used to build the fleet are exactly what NOSS plundered from other universes."
Other universes?
In other words, that [Void Zone] can also lead to different worlds?
He didn't remember that the other party mentioned such news in the previous report.
