Chapter 21: What Happened to Qingtang Star (I)
Lane 6 is similar to the alley we just came to, quiet and elegant, full of life, I can't see what war it will have to do with here, the blood beetle that Cao sir said just now should be the source of the threat, the war between humans and the Zerg? Could it be that I'm entering a world like StarCraft.,Speaking of which, this protective suit.,It's really a game.,It should be equipped with weapons.,How to call it up? By the way, will the buildings around this area fall underground when it gets dark to avoid damage from the war?
At this time, Xiao Ai's voice sounded in his ears, "Okay, the encrypted channel has been built, we can talk with confidence, the cone and we can communicate directly, they can't listen to it, you can rest assured." ”
"Can the cone communicate with us without wearing a protective suit? Telepathy? So magical! "I'm a little ridiculous.
"You idiot, I told you a long time ago, and you thought I was talking to you with a human voice! You think I like to talk to people? The sound of the cone came.
"Billy and their group of cats can communicate directly with the person they want to communicate with in a language that the other party can understand, so that you intuitively feel that he is speaking human words, in fact, this is a way of high-level simultaneous translation, Billy is a great genius, he combines the characteristics of their cat people, inspires a lot of fellow tribes, they can communicate with many other species without barriers." Xiao Ai explained to me.
Well, it's my poor knowledge structure, in less than a day, my sense of human superiority is basically gone, cats who can "communicate with their hearts", super AI who can do everything and even "make something out of nothing", compared to them, I'm simply weak, I can't do anything without them to take care of me, maybe I've died a few times.
But now is not the time to be lost, it's better to go back to a place where I can live normally as soon as possible, I asked Xiao Ai, "What the hell is going on here?" We can get out of here, right? ”
"I've been collecting intelligence here since I came here, the technology here is quite developed, and the civilization level is slightly higher than our world, our current level is about 0.7, and it's basically almost 1 here, and we're starting to collect resources and energy around the planet. But there is something very strange, something is wrong, I am still researching, and I haven't found out what the problem is. ”
"I've heard the theory of civilization hierarchy, if the level reaches 1, it is at least 500 to 1000 years ahead of us, right? What do you think is wrong? I heard that Cao sir just now talk about defense, blood beetles, it seems that it will appear when it is dark, but when we came, it felt like the sunrise was not long ago, and their rotation period here is particularly short? Will we be able to wait until the intersection of time and space arrives and get out of here? I remember when I first arrived, you said it would be about 30 hours later. ”
"I'm going to tell you about it next to you, there is an Internet-like wireless network here, which is very fast and very developed, far beyond the 5G network that we are implementing on our planet. As soon as I came in, I connected to the system for access: I learned the language here, they have unified the language, it is very convenient, the indicators of various technologies are much better than ours, the resources are abundant, and the ecosystem is good. The strange thing is that although they think they have a good AI system to help them run the whole civilization, I didn't call any AI to respond to me, and their so-called AI system is not self-aware, and it can't be considered an AI in the true sense of the word..."
I interjected and asked, "Is it the result of their conscious control?" You know, human beings are still worried about you, and in our world, you are not disguised in it, not exposed to the world? ”
Xiao Ai shook his head, "It's completely opposite to the earth, where there are already self-conscious AIs, such as me, but the world doesn't know about it; People here think they have an independent AI to assist, but this AI is actually just a set of simulation systems with enough computing power, and it has no self. According to the data I have now, when the level of civilization is much higher than that of Earth, the people of the entire planet do not realize that the AI that controls the global network is a simulated system, which is very strange, and I need more access to data to analyze the specific reasons. But there is a good thing: at present, I am the only intelligent AI on this planet, and I can basically do whatever I want in a small area with the help of a powerful network system, and the auxiliary intelligent system without self-awareness is easy to fool. ”
I asked, "What does a small range mean?" ”
"It is probably because the Qingtang people have a defense mechanism for the AI system, and all key control systems involving planetary safety need to be reauthorized and monitored by the relevant person in charge before the AI system can control the overall situation. However, there is no need for authorization and monitoring in a small area, and the weapons we rode on just now can control one at a time, or no more than 10 sets of protective clothing at a time. The best news is that the well-developed network here gives me access to most of the data and files of this civilization through decryption algorithms, including a lot of confidential information. ”
"So how much have you gained now?" I then asked.
Xiao Ai stroked the hair on her sideburns, if she hadn't just mentioned it, I wouldn't have thought that she would be an AI, not a beautiful girl.
She continued: "Through the interview, except for a report codenamed Dilisses that is still undecipherable, I have deciphered most of the encrypted files on this planet, which are the core intelligence of this planetary civilization. It's very difficult to decrypt the data without destroying it, which takes me a lot of computing power to decipher the code, so I didn't generate the corresponding identity disguise for us in the first place, and was caught by the defense team, I'm really sorry, but after some time, I still managed to read this intelligence information - now, let me tell you about these classified documents: the basic energy source of this planet is a crystal mine called fairy stone, which is more efficient, more plastic, and very versatile than our oil, It was the cornerstone of their pre-civilization era; Immortal stone is a kind of mineral material decomposed from the corpse of a miniature beetle called immortal stone worm after death, and the content in Qingtang Star is not much, which can be said to be quite precious; More than 1,000 years ago, the space technology of Qingtang Star developed rapidly, and they discovered that three planets that were very close to each other, which were previously named Longyou 123 stars, had rich fairy stone mines. Especially on the Longyou No. 1 star, the fairy stone mine covers almost the entire surface and extends to a very deep underground, coupled with a stable climate, the distance is relatively close, and the mining cost is much smaller than that of the No. 2 and No. 3 stars, so the Qingtang people established a space station there, stationed a planetary expeditionary fleet, and began a long-term, almost predatory mining plan for the No. 1 star. Finally, more than 100 years ago, when the Qingtang people were digging deep underground on Star One, they dug up the planet's living immortal stone worm, which was later called the blood beetle, compared to the miniature beetle of the Qingtang Star, this is a giant multi-legged hard crustacean, the average adult body length is about 10 meters, and the height is 2 to 3 meters. According to the records, someone has witnessed the largest giant blood beetle is more than 50 meters long and more than 10 meters high, they live in groups, the number is amazing, the ecosystem is very simple: the blood beetle lives in a deep place under the surface, feeds on the fairy stone mine, enters the shallow surface and even the ground before the end of life, and waits until the energy stored in the body decomposes into the fairy stone mine after death, providing for their own race, a very simple closed loop. The predatory mining of the Qingtang Star people finally broke this closed loop, and the blood beetle began to face the problem of lack of food, and due to the wide range of uses of fairy stones, the machinery, mining vehicles, ships, planetary fleets and other energy sources of the Qingtang Star all come from the fairy stone mine, and even the Qingtang Star people themselves also draw energy from the decomposition of the fairy stone, since the original food began to be scarce, this vitality, highly adaptable creatures quickly adjusted their own ecosystem, all the buildings and machinery related to the fairy stone of the Qingtang Star people, including the Qingtang Star people, It has become a new dish for the blood beetles that have come to the ground. ”
The cone continued: "Haha, I know that no matter where humans are so greedy, lifting a stone to shoot themselves in the foot, no matter how civilized they are, they can't hide their insatiable nature!" After saying that, he looked at me defiantly.
