Chapter 35: The Real Enemy Is Far Away
"Why is it so dark?"
"The entire base is closed, and the energy system is offline, so it seems that it is right to infiltrate directly."
"What do you say? Turn on the lights! ”
"Okay!"
The tail of the little orange cat floating in the dark split into two balls, these two balls floated behind it like a floating battery, and then gradually released bright light to illuminate the entire space, Hongmeng San looked around like a swim to provide a picture for Lu Ping, and he finally saw what place this was.
There is a huge gate behind him, where Hongmeng San enters, the pure mechanical structure is exposed, and there is no airlock cabin or airlock chamber that is standard for human space facilities, which fully demonstrates the identity of this place.
There is no air in the base, and there are no pipes to transport it, and various exposed equipment and metal skeletons indicate that it is not intended for human habitation, but the structure of the overall space is similar to that of human space equipment.
Humans walking in spacesuits will not have any awkwardness except for the feeling of being a little rudimentary, indicating that the builders of the base still retain some core programs that have not been deleted.
This is indeed a smart machine base, and only a smart machine invented by humans will build this kind of "human base" that is not suitable for human habitation.
"It's as it says, it's true! It's just the doorway, there's nothing, go inside! Lu Ping rubbed his hands excitedly, looking forward to it.
"Okay."
Hongmeng Sanma immediately "swam" inside, the entire door is very neat, there is nothing to see, and there are no traces of fighting, indicating that this is a well-preserved base, and there is a great chance of a bumper harvest.
Soon the little orange cat came to the first internal gate, it was attached to the gate, and then its tail was inserted into the access control device to try to open the door without any response, and the sensor and visual device of the gate did not react, and the intelligent system that used its own energy to try to wake up the base did not respond.
“???”
"It's really not going to work, why don't you continue to infiltrate in the nano state? I guess this base is completely out of business. Lu Ping really couldn't stand it, and at the same time, his excitement began to cool down a little.
Hongmeng San was very depressed when he heard Lu Ping say this, a high-level artificial intelligence came to an artificial intelligence base, and it turned out that he had to use this way to enter this base...... Lost intelligence!
It's just that when its longer tail pokes a hole in the access control device, it has to give up, and it will be a waste of energy to go on like this, Lu Ping finally saved this energy, it can't be so loser.
So following Lu Ping's order, Hongmeng San got into the hole he poked.
As he passed through the gates, Lu Ping's heart became colder and colder, what did he see through the perspective of Hongmeng San?
Didn't see anything!
It's cleaner than a dog licking!
Any cabin is clean, without any equipment, just like a newly built warehouse, and even these warehouses have no walls, just rocks!
It was like the second time he had come as a road cleaner, but it was only the first time he had come, and he hadn't thrown anything into the space warehouse.
Especially when it comes to the energy room, the nuclear fuel rods in the fusion reactor have been pulled out, and even the storage area does not have any trace of energy and materials, and there is no slag left.
The base is not big, and it was quickly finished by Hongmeng San, after all, this asteroid is not big, but I didn't find anything that could be picked up directly, even if it was a steel ingot.
Unless you buckle down from the wall.
Lu Ping couldn't wait to pound the sleep pod, "What about my energy, what about my materials, why is there nothing in such a big intelligent machine base?!" ”
Don't say anything golden, not even a sky full of white clouds, open the box, open the bag, draw a card, and something, at least there is a little consolation, but now don't talk about the consolation prize, unless it is forcibly demolished, otherwise there is no garbage at all.
Originally, I wondered if the people of the Xianding Group had emptied this place, after all, it was not surprising that people were the first to discover this asteroid, even if they found that there was a smart machine base inside, and they also had enough ability to conceal and empty this place.
But after Hongmeng San's inspection, it was confirmed that this place had been vacant for a hundred years, which coincided with the time of the retreat of the intelligent machine, and there were no traces of human activities, all of which denied this possibility.
“……”
"Something is wrong, if it doesn't work at all, what are the smart machines doing to build this base, and since the 96156 spaceship is sending a distress signal here, it means that there should be something here, right?" Looking at the empty base, Lu Ping had all his thoughts.
"You're right," Hongmengsan, who is an artificial intelligence, very much agrees with Lu Ping's analysis, after all, it is a kind of intelligent machine in itself.
"Zhiji is the most practical, and will use every resource to the extreme, and will not do anything meaningless."
The artificial intelligence has appeared to say, Lu Ping is even more convinced of his guess, looking at Hongmeng San who is still squatting next to the nuclear reactor, he said: "There is nothing here, don't stay here, go back to the data center, see if you can activate the server there, if you can find some residual data, it doesn't count us in vain, at least it satisfies my archaeological desire." ”
"Don't be afraid to consume energy, you can use the remaining 70,000 energy as you like, as long as you give me the last 10,000 for emergency!"
"Do you really agree?" Hongmeng turned around and swam back.
"I agreed, I was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, and I was reluctant to let the daughter-in-law ...... No, I can't bear it, but I still have this bit of energy. ”
"The energy is gone, we are saving, and if I am in a hurry, I will close the black market of Ceres, I don't believe that I can't get energy!" Lu Ping clenched his fists with both hands, and his heart was ruthless.
Sensing Lu Ping's inner emotions, Hongmeng San's footsteps were also a lot faster, and after passing through the gates, it soon came to the data center.
Originally, I had been here before, but Lu Ping and Hongmeng San both wanted to find the energy center first, and if the energy equipment here was turned on again, it would be convenient to do everything else, but it turned out that there was nothing.
Lu Ping already felt that he was going to lose money this time, not to mention the income, he was thankful that he didn't spend all his energy.
The orange cat quickly returned to the data center again, this time the servers were all intact, there were no damages, and they were all directly embedded in the metal wall, forming a circular space, so it didn't have to do it like that time, it just flicked its tail, and some blue arcs flashed on the orange body, like some electric rat...... Uh, like an electric orange cat, its tail poked straight into a server.
There is no display screen in the entire base, and the smart machine can't use that thing at all, so Hongmeng San directly projects the data onto the light screen in front of the road plane.
Sure enough, everything in the entire base has been emptied, only the servers here have no traces of movement, "embedded in the wall" is not the reason, the amount of information in it is really large.
Because the communication method used by Zhiji is not Chinese characters, Hongmeng San needs to sort out and summarize them, and translate them all into Chinese characters.
A lot of data is still 0 and 1 in the first second, and the next side becomes Chinese characters, and a lot of information flashes on the light screen, but the excited Lu Ping still notices a lot of key information.
For example, the purpose of the establishment of this base.
This is actually a phased command center, which is why it was established so secretively, and the base space is not large, and when it evacuated to the outer solar system space in an orderly manner, everything was moved in line with the principle of resource recovery.
The reason why the entire base was not dismantled and taken away is because in addition to the energy required to dismantle the base, there is another reason - to warn humans.
[Humans and intelligence are not enemies, the real enemy is in the distance. 】
This sentence crossed Lu Ping's mind like lightning, and he suddenly understood what the reason for the intellectual crisis more than a hundred years ago.
It's not that a word shatters his outlook on life and values for more than 20 years, this "understanding" is based on his experience in the past month.
If he didn't get Hongmeng III, he would definitely deny this sentence and think that it was a conspiracy of Zhiji.
But a bolt of lightning connected the key clues he had come into contact with before, and he figured it out in an instant.
