Chapter 6: Dreams
After Xiao Fei joked for a while, he said to Meng Xingchen: "Then your AI is almost like a large memory, once you encounter any danger, it will be difficult to even protect yourself, right?" ”
"Don't worry, it's because I haven't upgraded the kernel that I've pressed a lot of add-ons and defense matrices on it, not only do I don't have to worry about its self-preservation, but it can also provide defense for the whole team if necessary. Otherwise, how dare I take it out on a mission. Meng Xingchen explained confidently.
In the past few years, Meng Xingchen's AI has not made much progress in other functions, the single-round defense function, that is absolutely first-class, since the secret training, almost all the rewards he has received have been used to upgrade AI defense, and even some starship high-tech defense systems that have not yet been popularized on the home planet have been simplified and loaded on it.
Although he has no name, and the shape of his AI is a black machine with a hexagonal texture on the surface like a turtle shell when he first appeared, it comes with a set of miniature space holders that only military executives are equipped with. This kind of black technology is definitely the highest technology that human beings can develop at present, and even Meng Xingchen suspects that this technology itself does not belong to human beings.
Because the emergence of this technology comes from the science and technology department of the Meng Foundation, and there is no one within the Meng Consortium who can reasonably explain its principle, when the first micro space accommodator appears at the top of the three major consortiums, no one can explain its true principle, but the private AI of the chief technologist of the Meng Consortium directly lists its operation process and processing process and the required raw materials one by one, and only then does this blueprint have the second and third pieces.
And the principle was only calculated in the third year after the birth of this kind of space accommodator, and even Meng Xingchen himself more or less participated in that super-large-scale calculation. That was the biggest scientific research achievement of the Meng consortium in the past five years, and he was actually the first to calculate the transformation formula, but he gave this credit to his third master, that is, Meng Dequan, the permanent member of the consortium who agreed to exile him.
So this deepened his determination to find the truth, and also strengthened the conjecture - artificial intelligence is definitely not as cooperative and obedient to humans as it seems, they are just using humans. Even they have brought advanced knowledge to mankind under certain conditions, so that the process of mankind has accelerated. All of this has a purpose, and the ultimate point of this purpose may be the cause of the end times.
Picking up his thoughts, Meng Xingchen said to the two of them with a smile: "Don't worry, although I can't say that I will help much, but the situation of dragging my feet will not appear." Let's rest and rest, let's delay entering the ruins as planned, and I like to do scientific research, so I like to study some strange things, and there are some rumors or something, if you have one, you can talk to me. ”
After Xiao Fei snorted, he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, rest is precious to them, especially during the mission, seizing all the time that can be rested is the experience of every veteran, because it is possible to enter the battle in the next second, and sometimes the battle may last for several days, during which there may not be time to rest at all.
Uncle Hei also leaned on his AI and closed his eyes, and then said: "Set off in three hours, I will set the time, too early will go to thunder, too late to drink soup, so three hours I feel just right." ”
"Agreed!" Xiao Fei closed his eyes and agreed.
Meng Xingchen just replied with one word, "yes", and then leaned against the wall and closed his eyes......
Thundered!
A violent impact was felt on Meng Xingchen, followed by a deafening sound.
Get up quickly and look for cover!
This series of actions has become a conditioned reflex.
When he came to his senses, he realized that he was not in the cave opened by Uncle Black, but in a vast forest, and the rumbling sound just now came from the mountains in the distance.
There was no reaction from the private AI in the brainwaves, in which case he had already determined that he was dreaming. Time and space in the dream world were chaotic and discontinuous, so Meng Xingchen ran towards the sound source in the mountains.
Because he lost the concept of time, when he arrived at the source of the sound of the mountains, it was already nightfall, but the light of the skyrocketing fire was definitely not much worse than daylight, so the visibility was still very good.
It was a community of people with modest buildings, the tallest building was only three floors, and there were only bungalows around.
Although this group of buildings is not inconspicuous, Meng Xingchen can feel that this is definitely not a civilian type, because under the high temperature of such explosions and flames, a building that can still maintain its form is at least a military type, or a building of a high-end strategic department.
As if to confirm his judgment, groups of soldiers appeared around the three-story building, and the soldiers' clothes were styles that Meng Xingchen had never seen, and it was certain that they were definitely not from the three major consortia.
Although the soldiers were in the center of the explosion, they did not panic in the slightest. With the unified scheduling, the soldiers carried out as much as they could.
Meng Xingchen walked quickly towards the location of the three-story building. When he arrived, no one paid attention to him, as if he was a transparent person here.
"Hurry, hurry! Rescue all the instruments that can be carried in the lab......" one of the officers commanded aloud.
Several scholars in white lab coats, of course, had been smoked gray and black, and were pulled up from the basement by the soldiers.
"Dr. Li, what's going on inside?" The chief hurriedly ran over and asked.
"That's not right! Our calculation time was twenty-four hours later, and this first collision was so sudden, the main computer of the laboratory has been shut down, some of the internal equipment has been damaged by the aftermath of the impact, and most of the damaged machinery is in Area F, where there is no need to rescue it. Dr. Lee replied.
The chief frowned, and then asked, "I don't care if your calculations are wrong, I just want to know if the next impact will continue to ...... as calculated before."
Before the chief could finish speaking, another feeling of shaking the earth and mountains came, followed by the muffled thunderous sound.
Meng Xingchen carefully observed the surroundings, there was no object colliding with this place at all, and this feeling of shaking the ground and shaking the mountains was definitely not an earthquake, he knew the fluctuations of the longitudinal and transverse waves of the earthquake, but at present, this kind of impact is like the impact of magnetic technology, an impact formed by an invisible force, and the invisible force and the tangible geological landform have formed an impact.
"I know the answer, come on, take Dr. Li and his team to the headquarters, the others immediately enter the three areas of ABC and rescue the important equipment, you only have less than an hour, no matter how much you rescue after an hour, you have to gather at the entrance of the forest one kilometer east from here." The commander gave the final order, and ran straight to the underground entrance with the rescuers.
Meng Xingchen closed his eyes, feeling the voice that hadn't appeared for a long time......
Still doesn't work? Or is it just an ordinary dream?
Meng Xingchen's dreams have always been divided into two kinds by him, one is the kind of messy, even unexplainable dreams, which he thinks are dreams that ordinary people will have.
The other is that there is always a voice, and that voice guides him in a certain direction, and in the process of moving forward, he will see something or even some knowledge. Some of them are things he understands, and some of them are simply things he can't understand, but no matter which one they are, they will have a practical impact on him, that is, when he wakes up, he can clearly remember those things and knowledge, and even some knowledge has been applied by him, and the process of experimentation and application makes him more and more sure that the voice is guiding him for a certain purpose. So he has always believed that the ultimate purpose of that voice is to guide him to see the truth—the true situation of the end times.
"Is it just an ordinary dream?" Meng Xingchen shook his head with some disappointment.
But as his gaze shifted as he shook his head, he saw something familiar, and it seemed as if he had been there......
After carefully looking at the surrounding environment and the relative position of objects, it dawned on him!
Isn't that the ruin? Only now he saw the ruins as they had been before they were destroyed, unmetallized forests and fairly intact buildings.
Then go down and have a look, anyway, when you wake up, you have to enter this ruin, if you can get first-hand information, it's not a dream in vain!
Following the footsteps of those soldiers, Meng Xingchen also walked towards the underground entrance.
It is a circular entrance formed by a metal frame and a concrete structure, and the entrance is made up of two branches, one directly by a lift, and the other by an artificial staircase that slopes downward.
Apparently the elevator had ceased to function, and the GIs were entering through the entrance of the artificial staircase.
As the tunnel extended, the interior became more and more spacious, and even to the last section, you could drive an anti-gravity armored vehicle through it.
On both sides of the tunnel are rows of metal doors with numbers on them.
Meng Xingchen is no stranger to this kind of building, this is the structure of those shelters when people have not established an ecosphere on the moon before, although the shelter does not have this clearly divided area, but this style is obviously the prototype of the shelter, and even the shelter is transformed from this underground building.
Soldiers began to bring instruments and researchers out of the metal doors.
Meng Xingchen looked at the numbering of these metal doors, a typical mixed number of letters and numbers, from area A1 to area A36, this is the range of area A, and then area B, obviously the lower the alphabetical order, the more areas correspond, and he even saw area C202 along the way.
Meng Xingchen knew that if he wanted to get the most comprehensive information, he would have to follow the chief closely, so he didn't wander around after entering, but looked around for the man in the chief's uniform.
The chaotic conversations around him and the humming of some machinery made it difficult for him to tell where the commander was, but he knew where to go after a secret training that was harsher than the military.
Sure enough, after a lap of observation, he found his target. The commander was next to a small command vehicle, using on-board communication equipment to direct the rescue work at the scene.
