Chapter 23: Theory of Racial Development
Meng Xingchen is a person who relieves promises, even in the face of an inhuman creature, he still adheres to his principles and bottom line - he will not promise if he can't do it.
So after thinking about it for a while, he replied, "Yes, but on the premise of ensuring my own safety." ”
M6 also seemed to think for a short time before saying, "The contract is established!" Establish the highest contract authority and transform the life characteristics of the contractor! ”
Although Meng Xingchen couldn't understand the full meaning of this passage, he could still understand what he was transforming. So he said, "Can you make any changes with my permission first......
"Allowed? Oh, is it a license agreement? The changes I've given you are all in terms of optimizing buffs, so you don't have to authorize them based on safety regulations, just like if someone among you humans suddenly gives you a fortune, you don't need your consent or not to give it away! M6 makes a fitting analogy.
"You...... It's compulsive! ”
"Forced? A compulsion that is advantageous is not a coercion. There's something wrong with your logic! ”
"You're the problem!" Although Meng Xingchen is now a brain wave entering here, his feelings and control over his body are still clear, he can be 100% sure of what M6 did to him just now, although there is nothing abnormal in his body, but he feels that there seems to be a lot more unknown information entropy in his body.
Because of the synchronization of brain waves, M6 knew what Meng Xingchen was worried about, so he explained: "Implantable composite source entropy!" You can evolve into any form that suits you in the right environment. It is a geometric multiple growth higher than your genetic modification, and it is the source entropy of the growth type. ”
"If you speak human words, I can still understand some of them, what is this source entropy?" No matter how powerful Meng Xingchen was, it was impossible for him to understand this kind of thing that was many levels higher than his cognitive level.
M6's eyes blinked, and he said, "You can think of it as a seed, but this seed has a lot of potential." ”
"It's the same as not saying! Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, then my AI basically can't be used, right? Meng Xingchen knew that there would be no results if he pursued it.
"My abilities are all covered and upgraded by your AI, although I am not what you call artificial intelligence, but my ability is definitely better than any professional-level AI." M6 made an exaggerated expression, and with the boastful content of the words, it definitely looked like a human.
Meng Xingchen sighed lightly and said, "If you don't listen to my orders, no matter how powerful your function is, it's useless." ”
"The source entropy level is the same as mine, so as long as it is not an order that violates the extradimensional confidentiality agreement, I will automatically execute it." M6 replied.
What the hell is the super-dimensional non-disclosure agreement! Meng Xingchen felt that his head was starting to hurt, and the amount of information in just this moment exceeded the sum of the past five years.
"Your brain temperature is elevated, it is recommended that you switch to elemental form!" M6 suggested.
"Stop! Stop! Stop! Don't give me orders, I understand my own body, I'll just go out and rest and rest, don't switch any elemental forms, if you turn into a slime, you may be able to scare Su Qing to death directly! Meng Xingchen cut off the brainwave co-frequency and withdrew from this space with many nebulae.
"Awake? What do you think? Do you feel it? Su Qing had already woken up and asked leaning against the window.
"Hmmm! You're right, that voice can be heard here. Meng Xingchen nodded.
"Anything to gain?" Su Qing looked out the window and asked casually.
"Alright, what's next for you?" Meng Xingchen did not say the existence of M6, after all, he has no complete control over the situation of M6 at present.
Su Qing retracted his gaze, and then said, "It depends on how you plan, I have been in the Abyss Shelter for so many years, this is basically my home, I am willing to protect this place, even if it may be bad for me, but the humans here are innocent." ”
Meng Xingchen knew that what she wanted to protect was the humans in this shelter, and even in the face of some dangers that the shelter host might bring, she would continue to do so.
"There are many shelters, and there are even some humans living in non-sheltered areas, do you only have the abyss shelter in your eyes? Even if you can save a few people, or a generation, what about the next generation? What about the next generation? "His vision is not limited to the present, which is the main reason why he will give people indifference.
Su Qing raised his head and looked at the man he had just met. I don't know why, she trusts him very much. Maybe it's the same secret? She herself couldn't tell why this was the case, and said a little weakly: "What you said makes sense, but if I can't even save this generation, what qualifications do I have to say the next generation?" ”
Meng Xingchen smiled and said: "It's still early, I should be one step closer to the truth, sooner or later I will know the truth of the end of the world, and then find a solution to the problem." And before we do that, let's gather a team that is strong enough to protect ourselves. ”
"Difficult! My Reaper squad is small in number, and each mission requires the replenishment of mechanical units as a forward combat force, and the competition for resources with the consortium is not easy. Su Qing knew that although his side had won more battles with the consortium, the price he had paid was also quite large.
"The main force of the consortium is not on the home planet, and Nina is leading her team to fight on the transit planet in Jupiter and Jupiter's minor star belt. The specific battle situation and enemy information are highly classified, so I don't know much, but what is certain is that the Consortium Army on Earth today is almost composed of a small number of regular troops and most of the mechanical troops, and if you count the prison area and the commercial area, it can basically be called a ragtag army. "Meng Xingchen knows the movements of the consortium army, after all, Nina's relationship with him is extraordinary, although some core secrets cannot be said, but the semi-closed news of the army's movements, which most consortium insiders know, can still be said.
Su Qing heard Nina's name from Meng Xingchen's mouth again, and this time she really couldn't think he was joking. So he asked very seriously, "Do you really know Nina the Depriver?" That genius goddess of war of the Alpha Consortium? ”
Meng Xingchen seemed to be a little helpless about this title, at least he didn't see Nina's performance on the battlefield in the later stage, in his impression, the girl who seemed to be a little weak was hiding behind him most of the time, and even when she first met her, she was still hiding in a cave and crying secretly.
"I don't know the origin of the dispossession, but I do know the Nina in the Alpha Consortium, we participated in the secret training together, and there are few survivors, she is one of them, and I have been through a lot with her...... A lot! In my impression, she is just a little girl who likes to secretly cry her nose. Well! Even though we were the same age, she gave me the feeling she did. Meng Xingchen seemed to recall the girl who liked to wipe tears from his collar.
A little girl with a crying nose? Nina the Dispossessor? Is this really the same person? Su Qing was a little skeptical that the Nina in his mouth was the same person as the one Meng Xingchen was talking about.
Meng Xingchen seemed to sense Su Qing's changes, so he changed the topic: "You will have a chance to meet, it is estimated that I should be the one who has a headache at that time, so you don't have to worry about it, the most important thing now is how we can take your people away from the home planet and march towards the vast stars!" ”
Su Qing didn't know the importance of leaving the earth, but the mother planet was the mother planet after all, and even if he left, he couldn't destroy the planet that gave birth to and nurtured mankind indefinitely.
M6's voice suddenly said in Meng Xingchen's mind: "The earth has become a thousand holes now, even if you save it, it will slowly decline in the next thousands of years." This little girl obviously can't see through the key to this. ”
"Nope! You don't understand the point! Will you give up the Lord tree of your mouth? Meng Xingchen asked rhetorically.
M6 paused, as if thinking, and then said, "The main tree is our foundation, and without it, we will all slowly become a string of meaningless information, which is different from the relationship between the earth and you. ”
"You're wrong! Your existence needs the main tree, which is the dependence of the material plane or the information plane, and the earth and us are the dependence of the spiritual relationship, the earth holds the spirit of human beings, and without it, human beings will be like walking corpses without souls. Meng Xingchen said very seriously.
"Spiritual sustenance? Is there a deep reaction of the subconscious? Sure enough, the wonder of carbon-based organisms is nonlinear and uncertain. So let me tell you the news, the Earth is no longer the planet it was before the end of the day, at least in essence, some of it has begun to mutate. M6 finally said a message that Meng Xingchen was interested in.
"Metallized?" Meng Xingchen asked with some uncertainty.
"Metallization is only one aspect, because you only see part of the surface. Whether it is a planet or a world, it is not just one level, and dimensions are the basic rules that determine the existence of matter. The rules of light, water, fire, metal, etc., are just derivatives, and if you have to, you can directly think of them as matter in your cognition, and the other opposite is antimatter. This proposition has already been dabbled in by humans, and your previous weapons, as well as the miniature space of AI, etc., all rely on antimatter theory to exist. M6 explained.
Meng Xingchen's conversation with M6 was a brainwave interference, which was completed almost instantaneously, and he was distracted from talking to Su Qing about some plans to lead the people of the shelter out of the earth.
Su Qing said some of the secrets of the Abyss Shelter, such as the fact that many shelters are secretly building starships in preparation for leaving the Earth in the future, the mother planet whose resources are about to be exhausted.
"M6, since you are from the main tree world, then your technological level should far surpass us humans, can't you help us build high-level starships or other interstellar vehicles?" Meng Xingchen communicated with M6 during his conversation with Su Qing.
"We are actually already helping you, but limited to resources and our own contractual constraints, I can only open up the knowledge of the same dimension as your human technology level, and at most it can only exceed half a dimension, and we have come to the independent tree world without relying on this kind of technology at all. Wormholes are our usual means of transportation, but you don't even have a curvature generator in control of them yet, and the jump engine is only running on the other side of the moon, trying to create wormholes...... It's a bit hard for you. M6 said helplessly.
"You guys? Are you saying there are nodes like you? Meng Xingchen noticed the words in M6's words.
"Of course, but there are different ranks, and different factions. The specific content is a non-disclosure agreement, so I can't say it for the time being, but you can explore it yourself. What I can say is that once the pre-apocalyptic shelter hosts were all from the main tree world like me, but not all of them were node-level, some were low-level sub-nodes, and even some small shelter hosts were derived from us. "M6 picked up some information that did not violate the content of the agreement and told Meng Xingchen, after all, it was going to return to the main tree world through Meng Xingchen, so it couldn't tell him nothing. For some of Meng Xingchen's personality traits, it still made some comprehensive assessments, and the final conclusion was that if he didn't mention any information related to the end of the world, then he would not fulfill his promise.
Meng Xingchen was basically satisfied with M6's answer, after all, he had never heard of these news, and his own changes also showed that M6's technological level was indeed far beyond that of humans, and now that he had M6 as a helper, it should be easier to get closer to the truth of the end of the world.
