The "strange stone" that had been lying in the forest for a full week finally moved.
Early in the morning, the small animals living nearby were startled by the strange movements coming from the big pit. After a lot of fuss, they confirmed that this was not a new round of explosions. As a result, some daring guys sneaked across the woods and bushes, lying on the edge of the impact crater and watching the movement of the "strange rock from the sky". They saw that the culprit who smashed the forest out of the big hole had somehow changed, 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 like a big lake, which looks really beautiful.
And a strange humming sound like a blowing wind in a cave continued to come from the belly of this strange thing.
A few small beasts with gray and white pointed ears grabbed the branches and occupied the high place, hissing and roaring at the big silver-white stone that was shining and making strange noises. A beautiful and dignified tree hole—it was smashed by this fell from the sky, and now its remains are under the belly of the strange thing. The little beasts grabbed the branches and yelled at the lying thing at a distance they thought was quite safe, trying to drive away the uninvited guest as usual.
But this time they seem to have really succeeded.
Because the silver-white strange thing really began to slowly rise after humming continuously for a while. There were several long gaps in the second half of it emitting bright blue light, and some ravines in the middle of the waist were also glowing. Braving bright rays of light, under the influence of these rays of light, this seemingly heavy behemoth seemed to lose weight, floated lightly into the air, and flew higher and higher, farther and farther...
The damn thing finally flew away.
The small animals in the forest stared blankly at this unbelievable scene, and then finally began to cheer—or just fled and howled in disorder after being frightened. Looking at the big hole left by the silver-white monster flying away, he tried hard to find his beautiful and magnificent tree hole from the deep hole-but he found nothing.
They chirped and exchanged opinions, and finally decided that this place was not suitable for a home, so they decided to move to a place in the forest where there were many shelves and stone trees, and planned to find another beautiful and dignified tree hole there...
"How does it feel to fly again?"
Hao Ren looked at Nolan, who was standing next to the projector in the center of the bridge, checking the data of the spaceship with a high-spirited expression, and asked with a smile.
"Superb!" Nolan put his hands on his hips, flicking his silver-white ponytail behind his head, "I thought I would really have some kind of heavenly disorder? I was worried for a few days! It turns out that I am a natural lover." Flying stuff - it feels so good to be in the air!!"
"That's good," Hao Ren nodded with a smile. The ship's wife has been ill for a week, and she finally regained her spirits today. This is really something to be happy about. "How is the spaceship?"
"It's better than expected!" Nolan seemed so happy that when she spoke, she used a holographic projection to create a bunch of special effects of fireworks and lanterns beside her. The shield is stable and strong, and the weapon system is as powerful as if it was newly installed! Although the main gun still seems to have some problems, but this ship feels that it can be used to blast anything in front of it after a few hours!"
"Okay, okay, I understand your happy mood, but it's better to sail seriously now." Hao Ren waved his hand to Nolan, calming down the overjoyed ship lady, "We still have to be vigilant against this situation. The divine storm in the star area—although the latest monitoring news from the drone group shows that the divine storm is only active in the deep space area and has generally calmed down now, but maybe you will mock them again if you are too embarrassing. "
These words really worked. Nolan jumped up like a frightened rabbit, and then shrank his head and looked around—as if she could weaken the presence of his hundreds of meters long spaceship in the universe. like.
Hao Ren nodded in relief: Compared with the "grey fox mercenary" brought out from Zhuomu's dream world, Nolan is much more lively now. Maybe this is why this AI lady was originally designed A defined "true personality"
The spaceship quickly left the planet's atmosphere, but it didn't accelerate too much. Instead, after turning on various interference and covert action devices, it approached the high-level orbit at an unhurried speed. In front of its flight path, this The miraculous space station built by the original inhabitants of this planet—"Zenith" is shining brightly 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.
The other "agents" were also on the spaceship. After N-4 reached a consensus with Hao Ren and his party, the ground operations troops led by N-4 (including those who escaped before) also became giants under the orders of their commanders. The temporary passengers on the Guiyantai are all on standby in the cabin of the spaceship, 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 are extremely amazed by this advanced aircraft built with unknown technology, which is almost incomprehensible, especially after she took off. obvious.
Hao Ren was observing them.
Curiosity—another extremely human quality.
Although the aborigines of this planet have made mediocre progress in aerospace technology (one of the evidences is that they have not produced the key equipment such as jumping engines), it seems that they have outstanding talents in the field of artificial intelligence. The artificial intelligence known as the "agent" not only has a nearly perfect emotional function, but also has the ability to develop independently such as curiosity and learning. This is indeed a remarkable 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 mastermind did not malfunction suddenly, but a gradual process, and at the beginning of the process, no one noticed it.
Since a few years ago, that huge artificial intelligence began to produce some contradictory instructions. At first, the number of these wrong instructions was very small, and almost no important decisions were involved. It has its own mechanism to correct these failures. Its thirteen servers are like a voting institution. After all, only a small number of them generate wrong instructions. The servers that are running normally will directly eliminate those problematic codes—this was the case at the beginning.
But things have been deteriorating since then.
For some unknown reason, the mastermind's error log was hidden by itself (perhaps the most fatal glitch of all), so the maintainers in the fortress were unaware that more and more Wrong instruction. At the beginning, there were only one or two servers that generated wrong commands, and the frequency was only three or four times in a month or two, but then the problem became more and more serious. Error instructions appear more and more frequently, and there are more and more servers that generate these error instructions, while normal servers that can eliminate these error instructions-they are naturally fewer and fewer.
It’s not that the Mastermind’s servers are unmaintained, let alone lack of updates—in fact, as the most important decision-making machine in the survivor society, the Mastermind’s main board and main logic circuits are replaced every 100 years, and other hardware is inspected and maintained every year , and processes such as system self-inspection are so frequent that they are performed once a day. According to N-4, the main brain's current motherboard and logic circuits have only been replaced for less than 20 years, and they are far from being in a state where they can fail.
But the failure happened so inexplicably, and when the mastermind's ratio of normal servers to failed servers reversed, its mistake was finally exposed.
It has issued two diametrically opposed orders, and one of them is inexplicable: the first order prohibits the circulation of information about the unknown spacecraft on the home planet, and prohibits any personnel from approaching the area where the spacecraft "crashed", the second The order was sent directly to more than a dozen Agent soldiers including N-4, ordering them to investigate the situation of the unknown spaceship.
At first N-4 didn't realize that these two orders were contradictory. She thought it was a secret operation order issued by the mastermind, but when she routinely sent the order she received back to the subordinate server of the mastermind for confirmation , but triggers a critical warning in the system.
The Mastermind believes that she and her temporary team are acting out of order and without authorization.
Then the mastermind sent her a transport plane, asking her to set off to complete the task as soon as possible, and at the same time sent a lot of messy system logs to her memory bank...
And then, Miss N-4 and her temporary action team arrived in front of Hao Ren in a daze.
"Don't you think this job is impossible to do at all?" Hao Ren looked at N-4, feeling very unreasonable, "The order is messy, the task details are completely blank, and after you go back, it is very likely that you will be rejected. The Mastermind is listed as an 'out of control element'...can't you report a fix to the Mastermind's maintainers first?"
N-4 was expressionless, and said sternly: "The mastermind's order must be carried out. This is the basis for us to survive until today."
The N-6 next to him was also stern: "The mastermind's order must be carried out, and the maintainer's work will naturally be completed by the maintainer."
Nangong Sanba listened to their conversation and couldn't help covering his forehead with his hands: "It's really hard to communicate with different worldviews..."
While speaking, the giant turtle rock platform has slowly approached the giant space station floating in the universe—the Zenith.
Its silver-white egg-shaped shell shone brightly on the holographic projection, and this behemoth occupied everyone's field of vision like a small moon.
"Nolan, get the tractor beam ready," Hao Ren tapped on the console lightly, letting out a foul breath, "Get ready to start work."
