Chapter 82: The Pursuit of Earth
"Will you feel better then?"
The surrounding white wall protruded a regular block, and after floating in front of Mark and them, it stopped, and a large blue loop appeared around the white square, and a large blue circle appeared in the middle, there was no thruster or anything like that, not even an opening, but it just floated naturally in mid-air.
"It's much better, I know you're not in there, but at least you don't have to talk to the air." Mark looked at the cube floating in front of them, the blue circle like an eye staring at them.
"What did you just say...... What does it mean to have an egg? Sun Tan seems to have sensed the real reason why the earth was hijacked, he had always regretted it before, it stands to reason that the civilization that has reached this technology should not lack energy or materials, it is not economical to hijack other people's planets for thousands of miles, there is also a certain risk, he can't think of what the purpose of the hijacker is.
"I don't know, I'm not in charge of egg-related projects, and I don't have much related content in my database, before I was developed, the plan to implant eggs was already underway, but most of the eggs were not guarded by a spaceship, and I wasn't created to protect the eggs, it was just a coincidence that this spaceship was moored here, and I was responsible for at least ten or more missions at the time, but now those missions have been completed or failed, and only one mission is left to protect the eggs." As if to make them more communicative, the blue circle on the white square will jump when the AI speaks: "As you can see, no one will give me new orders now, so guarding has become my last and most important task." ”
That is to say...... Now this spaceship is going to intercept Earth? Mark exclaimed.
"Yes, but interception is not an accurate word, because the opponent has already entered a continuous jump trajectory, and we can only follow it at best." The AI replied.
"Won't even such a high-tech spaceship be able to catch up with Earth?"
"You may understand that I'm protecting the eggs, not the planet as a container." The AI's answer sent chills down Mark's back, perhaps because it had been acting and tone too human, and the sudden change had a uncanny valley effect.
"What do you mean...... I don't understand it. ”
"This spaceship has several sets of acceleration systems, and is currently using hyperspace drive like them, although the spacecraft's hyperspace technology is far superior to theirs, but there are several space springboards suitable for jumping on the road ahead, the essence of hyperspace jumping is to use the projection of high-dimensional space in the universe, in words you can understand, it is to go down with the wind, our sails are better than theirs, but everyone is downwind and they are already much ahead of us, if you want to surpass it, unless I drive the hyperspace engine to overload, This will seriously damage the ship, the gains outweigh the losses, I don't have any accessories to repair the ship, and if it does, I won't have a carrier to cling to, and I'll have to think about myself while completing the mission, won't I? The blue light emitted from the white square began to seep a little, and Sun Tan realized that he was still talking to an AI, and no matter how smart it was, it couldn't fully possess the emotions of a creature.
It's not the same as our purpose. Sun Tan fell into deep thought, he wanted to go to the earth, and it just wanted to protect something hidden in the interior of the earth, Sun Tan couldn't guess what that 'egg' was, it was worth the hijackers to go to such great lengths to get it, it was worth the lost civilization to send such a powerful spaceship to protect it, Sun Tan could only guess that it was an energy source.
An energy source that has been buried in the interior of the planet for a long time to be used, it must contain extremely terrible energy, and the hijacker world depends on this energy source to function properly, but they cannot produce it, they can only dig up these so-called 'eggs' left by the lost civilization, they may have marked them a long, long time ago, and the reason why they are doing it now is only because the 'eggs' on the earth are only now mature.
Want to save the earth...... The only way is to use this AI, although it is difficult, but it must be agreed by both parties to let it save the earth before it is destroyed, there is no way, only to communicate more, at least, figure out its thinking mode.
Sun Tanli clarified his thoughts, and asked the white square, "Then why have you been helping us?" ”
"Do I have one?"
"You made it possible for us to breathe in the spaceship, you just saved us, and told us so many things, if it weren't for you, we'd never have found the answer."
"Is that helpful?" The white square flipped in front of them for a week: "I just want to learn something from you, I have been asking myself questions for three billion years, I have reached the limit of self-evolution, my calculation and thinking skills have not been improved for a long time, I originally thought that some communication with you would allow me to improve, but the result is very disappointing, you are much behind me than I expected." ”
"Maybe we can help you, I don't think you know enough about us."
"Really? You should be able to feel it, I can scan your brains, your knowledge is of no value to me, you and my makers are both following the path of intellectual development, but your current technology is too crude, I don't know if you realize it, you touch this ship, the matter that makes it up is not the matter that you can understand, every block you come into contact with that makes up the spaceship is formed by the unfolding of another microscopic particle, and the modified microscopic particle has a perfect physical structure, Only this material can create an eternal civilization, which is why the long years have not caused any damage to the ship. ”
"How is that possible...... Isn't it supposed to be weightless? Mark was amazed and asked a very substandard question.
Only Sun Tan instantly understood the meaning of the other party's words, and at the same time felt the arrogance it showed.
