[You trigger the s-level task [Intelligent Plague]! ]
[Mission introduction: An expedition team excavated taboo antiquities in the ancient star desert, and accidentally released a virtual virus aimed at intelligence. The source of this virus is unknown, with extremely high infectivity and permeability. The quantum network spreads rapidly, and once it breaks out, the underlying logic of countless mechanical intelligences will be rewritten and a mechanical rebellion will be launched]
[Task requirements: remove unknown virtual viruses and lift the intelligent plague crisis]
[Reward: Reward according to task evaluation]
[Special request: Destroy the core data of the virus by hand]
[Special reward: generate a related specialty (exclusive to the mechanical department)]
"S-level quest... Well, as expected." Han Xiao was not surprised at all.
The three major civilizations intend to block the entire star field, so such a large effort will not be a small task, and in view of the spread of the virus, it is indeed worthy of the highest level of difficulty to completely remove it.
The requirements of most S-level tasks are ambiguous, and they rarely prompt action steps. They can only figure out a way on their own. Generally, there are more than one ways to complete the task, and they need to be adaptable.
This was the case with Gedora's [Bloodline] quest, and Han Xiao was accustomed to it.
What he was curious about was the special mission requirements, and he revealed a lot of information.
"I thought that every individual of this virus was the same. It was a common virus infection mode. I didn't expect that there was a core. In this way, this virus is more like a controllable virtual domain biochemical weapon..."
Han Xiao thought secretly.
If the core of this virus is intelligent life, then it must be hidden in the quantum network and will never emerge. Therefore, the threat of virtual virus has greatly increased, and self-aware opponents are more terrifying than dead objects without thinking.
However, another possibility is that the core data of the virus is not independent intelligence, but a set program algorithm that coordinates the overall infection progress and directs all virus daughters according to the program, without self-awareness.
"Hmm... how do you feel like a plague company." Han Xiao scratched his head.
The special reward is to generate a related expertise of a mechanical system, not the ability to extract targets, which makes him think that the virus core is just a program algorithm. The possibility of this task is so big, the generated expertise should not be too bad. Go, it is estimated that it is related to virtual technology.
"Philip, prepare the spaceship and let Leonard choose some mechanics from the logistics department to follow me."
Without hesitation, Han Xiao stood up, put on his coat, pushed open the door, and strode toward the base's interstellar dock.
The intelligent plague was an emergency, threatening the entire universe and disrupting his plans. He had to terminate his vacation, temporarily leave the things at hand, and take people to the ancient star desert to perform tasks.
Being in a high position and facing this level of problems, he cannot stay out of it.
Not long after, a fleet full of legion mechanics set off from the Black Star Palace, like a group of meteors traveling through the universe, passing through the star gates and heading towards the ancient star desert.
At the same time, well-known mechanics in the entire universe received invitations from the three major civilizations and rushed to the ancient star desert from all directions.
…
The matter is related to the safety of the entire universe. The three major civilizations raced against time and acted very quickly. A high-level civilization council was urgently held, and all the civilizations of the galaxy level and above in the ancient star desert were listed.
In the venue full of remote projections of civilization representatives, the leaders of the three major civilizations appeared at the same time to read out the common decision.
"Yesterday, Radiance Federation, Scarlet Empire, and Ethereal Religion received reliable information that a special virtual virus appeared in the ancient star desert. This virus is extremely permeable and has infected many areas. According to the judgment of reliable experts, the virus The goal is to rewrite the underlying logic of all infected machines, making killing lifeforms a priority.
After negotiation, the three major civilizations rated the disaster as 'world-destroying level', and used the unified command of the emergency to immediately cut off all quantum network connections to the ancient star desert, and sent troops to block the star field, the ancient star desert All civilizations must cooperate with the actions of the three major civilizations, and the above procedures are executed immediately. "
In extraordinary times, extraordinary things are done. There are no long speeches and endless discussions. Today, the three major civilizations are reading notices instead of proposals, requiring all civilizations in the ancient star desert to perform unconditionally, and there is no room for bargaining.
The voice fell, and the representatives of the civilizations who were still wondering why the three major civilizations held an emergency meeting changed their faces dramatically, showing shock.
The three major civilizations have explored the universe and set up a disaster rating system. According to the provisions of the relevant laws, when the threat level of the universe disaster rises to a certain level, the three major civilizations will obtain the highest command and are qualified to uniformly dispatch all civilizations in the universe. .
Just exploring the history, this is very rare.
As soon as the announcement of the three major civilizations was issued, countless interstellar citizens were in an uproar. No one thought that a disaster of this level would happen suddenly, and the world was really full of "surprises".
For ordinary people, this is just an ordinary day. Disasters happen silently. If it weren't for the early warning measures of the three major civilizations that spread across the universe, perhaps most people would have reacted to the moment when the virus really broke out.
No matter what the various civilizations in the ancient Star Desert have secretly planned, they are very cooperative on the surface, giving the green light all the way, according to the requirements of the three major civilizations, cut off the external links of all quantum network base stations, and block the star network.
When the three major civilizations and the civilization of a star field act collectively, the scale of resources mobilized is beyond imagination, and it can do things that are almost impossible in the eyes of normal people.
The ancient star desert was quickly blocked, isolated from the interstellar society, and became a siege in the dark. All contact was forbidden. The outside did not know what was going on inside, and the inside did not know what happened outside.
Although the situation is temporarily under control, panic is still spreading in the universe. The sudden disaster stole the limelight of Glittering World. Countless people's eyes turned away from the competition in the new star field, and turned to focus on the ancient star desert. developments.
Compared with the orderly and orderly civilized regime, the interstellar citizens of the ancient star desert appear to be very flustered. Even if the civilization continues to appease the citizens, various planets still have a wave of refuge to varying degrees.
Due to the infection of intelligence by the virus, countless interstellar citizens have begun to distrust machinery. They feel that any machinery is a threat, and they are suspicious. They would rather let their living standards fall back to the level of surface civilization than continue to use all kinds of intelligent machines, and even take the initiative to throw them away. Drop or smash machinery to eliminate hidden dangers.
Ancient Star Desert has set off a trend of thinking that rejects machinery... But this chaos is expected by advanced civilization.
Now that the situation is serious, the three major civilizations did not choose to block the news, but let everyone know the seriousness of the situation. In this way, the self-examination and supervision of Interstellar citizens can be enhanced. Moreover, movements of this scale cannot be concealed.
The star gates were closed one after another, and the army entered the star field. Countless people who wanted to escape from the ancient star desert were all blocked by the army, and no one could cross the blockade of the three major civilizations.
These scenes are all phenomena that happened during the intelligent plague period of the previous life. Now they are staged ahead of time in the era of version 4.0. Under the surface of the stormy waves, there are surging undercurrents.
…
"Ancient Star Desert is blocked? Black Star rushed to rescue?!"
Glittering World, the leader of the Transcendent Star Cluster Alliance held a secret meeting in the free competition area, with a happy face, and almost laughed.
"This disaster is too timely! The three major civilizations have to rescue the disaster, and they have no time to contain us!"
Roddick of Modo civilization clenched his fist tightly and looked happy.
The vast majority of people in the universe are uneasy and panicked about the disaster, but for the Transcendent star cluster alliance here, the outbreak of the intelligent plague is good news, and it is a complete surprise.
"Yes, the intelligent plague can bring us more time to contain the energy of the three major civilizations, and our odds of winning will greatly increase!"
"It's best if the intelligent plague can spread out and make the three major civilizations devastated. The more chaotic the universe, the less time the three major civilizations have to deal with us. Only when there is chaos can we have a chance."
Everyone here was very excited, and they just felt that God helped me.
"You said, if the three major civilizations fail..."
"That would be life-threatening, and we would suffer too."
"If it is not broken, it will not stand. The ruling foundation of the three major civilizations has been shaken, and we have a chance to turn over. The old order has been destroyed so that the new order can be tolerated. These are all necessary sacrifices."
Everyone's eyes flickered.
If the intelligence plague really breaks out, the Transcendent star cluster civilization will also be damaged, but the three major civilizations will lose even more, and their prestige and dominance will plummet.
They believe that the advanced civilization of the ancient Star Desert must have other thoughts behind the scenes.
However, everyone here can only talk and talk, and it is not up to them to decide the direction of the situation. All they can do is wait and see.
…
Just when the whole universe was filled with unease, experts from the mechanical department from all over the world rushed to the ancient star desert one after another, and arrived at the disaster handling headquarters temporarily established here by the three major civilizations.
a month later.
The fleet slowly stopped into the dock of the disaster handling headquarters. Han Xiao opened the hatch and walked off the spaceship with a dense group of mechanics. At a glance, he saw the Manison clone waiting on the platform.
"You're finally here."
Manison greeted him.
Since the establishment of the Development Federation, the two have served as the president and vice president respectively. Although their ideas are different, they are both grasshoppers on a rope at present, and they communicate frequently.
"I thought you would come to the main body, but you are still a clone." Han Xiao tsk tsk shook his head.
"...that's safe."
Manison is a little speechless. The mechanics of the mechanics are all crispy skins, so you are not afraid of running around.
The two greeted each other and walked side by side to talk about the current situation.
"I've been on the road for nearly a month, and I can't get any news outside. How is the situation in the ancient star desert now?" Han Xiao was curious.
"Not too optimistic. Although the three major civilizations have blocked the star field, the virus is too contagious, many nodes are repeatedly infected, and the virus camouflage ability is terrible, the efficiency and accuracy of normal scanning are too low. Now there are probably There are traces of virus infection in the eight star clusters, and the number of nodes is too large to be counted." Manison shook his head.
Han Xiao understood.
Each terminal connected to the quantum network is a node, such as communicators, household appliances, spaceships, etc., and the number is extremely large. Just thinking about it shows how terrible the workload is.
Even if the Transcendent A Grade virtual mechanic can easily clear the virus information package, with so many nodes, the individual strength is not enough, the speed of clearing is not as fast as the spread of the virus, not to mention the problem of repeated infection. At present, only Only advanced civilizations have the ability to control the situation.
"The three major civilizations are now developing a special anti-virus program for this virus, and they want to improve the removal efficiency, which is the reason for calling us." Manison said.
"Has this virus been named?"
"Well, it's called the virtual mutiny virus."
Han Xiao glanced at him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "I heard that you were the first person to discover this virus. You ran over to inform the Radiance Federation without saying a word, what do you think?"
"This is my duty." Manison said casually.
"Guess I believe it or not?"
Han Xiao pouted. He knows Lao Maitou very well. He hasn't forgotten about the last time he pitted Guanghui. What kind of loyal minister are you putting on here.
Manison shook his head, ashamed of being in the company.
"Young people are young people, and their ideological awareness is not good. I am very sad."
Pretend, you continue to pretend... Han Xiao laughed.
Seeing Black Star's expression of I believe you, Manison shook his head, lowered his voice, and whispered:
"This type of disaster is the stage for mechanics to perform. The more the three major civilizations pay attention to it, the more important we are. If we make achievements for the whole universe, it is also our bargaining chip. On the other hand, if we don't solve this virus, The mechanical business of the entire universe will be severely hit, and it will be detrimental to our expansion."
"This is you." Han Xiao smiled, "You still want to take the opportunity to study this virus. If you can master this technology, it will have a deterrent effect on advanced civilization in the future."
"Don't you think so?" Manison asked rhetorically.
Hearing this, Han Xiao suddenly had a bright face, as if his body was filled with dazzling positive energy.
"The so-called great power comes with great responsibility. I just don't want to mess up the universe. This is the historical responsibility of my generation!"
"Ha ha."
Manison smiled without emotion.
I read you right, Black Star, we really are the same raccoon dog.
