"In fact, until we left the earth, our ancestors did not agree on the idea of exploring the universe. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Prit also gave an unexpected answer.

He continued: "This is true of the ancestors when the Great West Continent was first built, but as the Great West Continent continued to be built, many people put forward different opinions. Some people don't think it's worth the time we spent building such a spaceship, and others don't think we need to leave the solar system at that time. So the construction process of the whole ship did not go well, and even the whole project was completely stalled for a while, and in the end, the plan was finally completed in such stumbling conditions. ”

"But even when we finished building the Onishisu, she didn't officially fly it for a long time, and she only completed the initial tests until her final departure. It can be said that the departure of the Great West Continent was very hasty and dangerous, and our ancestors launched her with the idea of fighting to the death, and they did not expect that the first flight of the Great West Continent was actually successful. ”

"I see." Zhou Xin showed a look of sudden realization, "If you don't say it, you really can't see from the video that you actually experienced such twists and turns before you set off." ”

"Forget it, it's all in the past, don't mention it." Pryt waved his hand, "Let's talk about you guys." ”

Seeing that the topic shifted to himself again, Zhou Xin's face became serious, he knew that the most important topic was going to be discussed next, he did not speak, but stared closely at Prit on the screen, waiting for what he was going to say next.

Seeing the change in Zhou Xin's face, Prit's tone was a little more serious, "Judging from the information you gave before, we haven't found any disharmony in it for the time being, so we now believe that you are from the earth." ”

Seeing that Prit finally believed in his origin, Zhou Xin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and even his originally serious expression eased a little, "You finally believe in our origin, then we can get down to business." ”

Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Pratt showed a strange expression instead, "Serious business? What's the matter? Didn't you say you had nothing to do with us? ”

Dart said with a blank face next to him, "Since it's okay, you can put Christy back and go." ”

Seeing that Dat refused outright, Zhou Xin was a little embarrassed, "This-although it is nothing, but there is nothing to communicate between us, so we have come all the way to find you, don't you have anything to tell us?" ”

"Nope." Without thinking, Dart replied, "We are from the same planet, but what else do we have to do with this?" And please hear me clearly, we are only 'temporary' to believe that you are earthlings. So, you can end your exploration here, put Christy back and go. ”

Hearing Dart's merciless words, Zhou Xin suddenly didn't know how to continue, but he didn't give up, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally spoke.

"Okay." Zhou Xin said helplessly, "Since you think so, then let's repair for a while and prepare to leave." But before you go, can you answer me a few questions? Before they could answer, Zhou Xin continued to ask, "Is it true that Christy told me that you have not confirmed the identity of the person who attacked you in the first place?" And what did you do with those artificial intelligences? I heard that you still have an artificial intelligence left in your base, can you let me see it? ”

After listening to Zhou Xin's question, Pratt and Dart were silent, and after a while, Pratt spoke: "Regarding the enemy who attacked us at the beginning, although we have not confirmed the identity of the other party, we still have some speculation about their identity. For the sake of you coming from the same planet as us, I'll tell you our speculations, and be prepared if you meet these 'people' in the future. ”

After gathering his thoughts, Pratt continued, "Over the years, I have spent a lot of time sorting out the materials left by my ancestors. The records they left behind showed that their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the attacking enemy, but it was not much worse, and in the course of the battle they found the enemy's behavior somewhat strange. Although those people have shown better combat effectiveness than us in battle, they will occasionally encounter combat disadvantages. After encountering such a situation, their choice was to self-detonate without exception, and they died with the enemy who attacked them, without the slightest hesitation. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Xin felt a little surprised, but remembering what Christy said before, combined with what Prit had just said, he understood after a little thought, "It seems that the enemies fighting with you are all robots?" If you were a natural person, you wouldn't be so mad. ”

Puri nodded, "It's not just the robots that fight us on the surface, but even the robots who operate in the vehicles, we didn't know about this at first, so those vehicles that suddenly exploded caused us terrible losses." Later, we found out about this situation after trying to capture a few enemy vehicles, all of which were robots. ”

"A robot that can operate a vehicle?" Zhou Xin was a little surprised and said, "Why does this combination feel so strange to me, why don't they directly integrate the program on the vehicle, but build another robot to operate it?" ”

"We also have this question, but after an in-depth study of the captured wreckage, we have not found a reason." "However, we have discovered another strange phenomenon, in the study of the wreckage of the robot, we found that the other robot's sophistication far exceeds that of the robot we have built, and many of the structures in it are not seen before, and based on the success of these studies, we have even upgraded our own robot to another era." ”

"Is there such a big gap?" Zhou Xin was surprised again, "Isn't the civilization that can create this kind of robot even more advanced than you?" ”

"I don't know." Plitt shook his head, "Since we have only been exposed to some of the creations of this civilization, we can't fully guess their technological status. ”

"At least for now, they should be more technologically advanced than yours." Zhou Xin touched his chin, "By the way, haven't you really seen any creatures from enemy civilizations?" ”

"Not really." "There is no information about this civilization in any of the documents that have been handed down, and I see that it seems that this civilization has always appeared in front of us robots, and there have never been individuals other than robots. ”

"Is it so mysterious?" Zhou Xin said to himself, "What do they think? Do they think they can beat you with robots alone? ”

"That's just the way it is." Pratt spread his hands and said helplessly, "It's true that our ancestors didn't fight those robots back then, otherwise we wouldn't have ended up on this planet." ”

Seeing that he seemed to talk about the other party's sadness, Zhou Xin hurriedly changed the topic, "Then do you know why the other party attacked you?" I watched the video you left before, as soon as the other party appeared, they started fighting, but in reality, it can't really be like this, it's impossible for the other party to attack you without a reason. ”

"There's really no reason." "As with the information you've obtained, they attacked us as soon as they appeared, and our ancestors tried to communicate with them, but they never responded to our request for communication. ”

"How so?" Zhou Xin felt very surprised, "You should be seeing each other for the first time, the other party should be like this, why does a civilization that has never seen it attack you as soon as you meet, there is no reason for this, what does the other party think, aren't they afraid of encountering a stronger civilization than them?" ”

"I'm going to ask them." Prit continued to say helplessly.

"That's right." Zhou Xin couldn't see the answer, so he then asked the next question, "I heard Christy say that it was the artificial intelligence you created that attracted the other party to it, is this true?" ”

"Did she even tell you that?" Prit glanced at Christy, who subconsciously shrunk her neck, but Prit didn't say anything to blame her. "I guess so." "After all, the other party appeared after the AI signaled, and we can't think of a better reason to explain why they appeared."

"Is it just the most likely?" After listening to Plit's words, Zhou Xin fell into deep thought, "That means it can't be ruled out that they were attracted by other things?" He muttered to himself.

"We don't know about that."

"And how do they appear? You should know that. Zhou Xin continued to ask.

"It's supposed to be a hyperspace jump." For this question, Prit gave a more accurate answer, "Some time before they appeared, the ancestors detected a strong hyperspace signal, which was dozens of times stronger than the signal we came out when we opened the hyperspace door ourselves, and on the third day after this signal appeared, they appeared. However, their hyperspace jumping method is different from ours, after their appearance, their ancestors did not observe the opening of hyperspace doors in the universe where they appeared, and it seems that their hyperspace technology is more advanced than ours. ”

"In other words, apart from knowing that they appeared using hyperspace jumping, you don't know the reason and purpose of each other's appearance at all, and you haven't even figured out the identity of the other party?" Zhou Xin concluded, his tone tinged with a hint of suspicion, "With your technology, this shouldn't be, right?" ”

"That's just the way it is." In this regard, Prit was also helpless, "We didn't have many clues, and they were very fragmentary, and based on these clues, we couldn't deduce anything at all." ”

"So be it." After listening to Prieter's words, Zhou Xin made a suggestion, "Can you send us a copy of this information, maybe we can come to a different conclusion." ”

Hearing this request, Prit thought for a while, "This is not a problem, I'll ask Atlas to sort it out and send it to you later." ”

"Atlas?" Zhou Xin asked curiously.

Christy explained, "It's the name of the AI in our base, just like your host is called Traveler. ”

Zhou Xin nodded, and seeing that the topic had just shifted to artificial intelligence, he took the opportunity to ask: "Didn't you create artificial intelligence to attract those enemies to the earth in the first place?" You still believe in artificial intelligence so much, is that good? And I heard Christy say that you seem to have lowered the permissions of the artificial intelligence, how did you do it, and why did they automatically reduce their own permissions? ”

Hearing this, Plitt glanced at Christy again, but he replied anyway, "After the accident back then, my ancestors also communicated with those artificial intelligences. They regretted the catastrophe they had caused, and then they examined their core code in detail, discovering a flaw in their ancestors' original design, and in their core code there was a mission-first instruction that they didn't know when they were left behind, which asked the AI to prioritize its tasks without posing a danger to the Atlanteans. Misled by this directive, they ignored the original ban and secretly conducted research, because the artificial intelligence did not analyze the danger that the study of hyperspace would pose to the Atlanteans. ”

"Is that the case?" Zhou Xin was surprised, "Why is there such a strange instruction left in the core of artificial intelligence." ”

"Maybe it was left in the early days." Pratt continued, "At the beginning, they were just a program, and they didn't show independent thinking intelligence, so the ancestors added this sentence to the program, which was obviously written for robots, and then the prototype of artificial intelligence finally appeared under the continuous improvement of the ancestors, and other artificial intelligence was developed from this prototype intelligence, perhaps in the process of continuous modification of the prototype, the ancestors forgot to delete this code, so it led to that accident." ”

Zhou Xin nodded, "Then what about ...... next?" ”
