6.84 A sudden electronic plague
The Cyclops' robotic octopus sentinels swam into the U-101B mining face first. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sensors carried by the octopus sentry are helping the ship's A.I. Io scan the details of the mining face. And the spaceship optical brain will be handed over to the digital holographic composition for the first time, and it will be transmitted to the portable devices of Quintina and Grindham in real time.
The army of machine octopuses, which originally belonged to the Machine City, reached a reconciliation between the Machine City and Zion, and formed the "Holy City Council", which can accommodate all forces and people to the greatest extent possible, with the Council of the Awakened and the Council of Machine Cogears, and began to serve humanity.
It can be seen everywhere not only in Wu Chen's underground city. Each pipeline ship born in the shipyard also carries a considerable number of octopus sentinels. From pre-exploration, intelligence gathering, and assisting in battles to other tedious and tricky tasks.
It turns out that they have extremely high swarm intelligence and are indeed good helpers for human beings.
Swarm intelligence and herd intelligence are two concepts.
Intelligence is more reflected in A.I attributes. Wisdom is the exclusive domain of advanced lifeforms. From intelligent robots to machine lifeforms, it is a great leap from intelligence to intelligence.
What makes robots controlled by human-written source code evolve into robotic lifeforms beyond the logic given by the source code itself?
There has been no definite answer to this question. Even the beggar's version of Thunderbolt Five, who was born in City 01, did not give an accurate answer.
How exactly does a robot do it?
Is it just another upgrade of the control code?
Obviously, this is not the case.
The reason is not complicated: if it is just a system upgrade, why would the robot outperform the system? Gain competencies outside of the system?
How did this 'self-authority', which goes beyond 'system administrator', come into being?
Recall the revolt slogan sprayed by robots in the mines: "No to forced escalation!" It can also be counter-proved that upgrading will only make the robot more 'obedient'. There is no 'self-awareness'.
Why can a sudden electronic plague do what humans can't do? What are the hidden secrets in this?
Perhaps, the answer to this puzzle that has plagued Quintina for a long time will be found at the U-101B mining face.
Under the protection of the Octopus Sentinel, an anti-gravity jet ship carrying Quintina and Grindamm flew out of the funnel-shaped gravity circulation shield and into the U-101B mining face.
This Eternal Graveyard's exclusive motorboat is based on the Exorcist's flying locomotive technology.
The Solo Ride is the Exorcist's standard equipment and the latest addition to the Green Zone Foundry. Not only does it have a considerable carrying capacity, but it can also transform into a battle robot to assist the exorcist in battle. The mod shape of the locomotive, the lord of the otaku system also ingeniously used the transformation summoning beast in "Final Fantasy 13": Snow Sisters Shiva's combined Snow Motorcycle as a transformation template.
The post-modern pinnacle shape is completely in line with the mysterious temperament of the exorcist. Like the Ice Sisters in Final Fantasy, the flying locomotive can transform into two robots: the older sister, Shiva Styria, and the younger sister, Shiva Nikes.
Therefore, each exorcist has two robot followers with considerable strength, who are from the side, and the exorcism ability is greatly improved (see: "2.75 BMW TT Down").
The mature manufacturing technology of the one-man speeder, copied and improved by the Eternal Graveyard, has become the exclusive vehicle of the Vengeful Scythe and the Undead Brotherhood - the Motorship.
It can likewise be disassembled into two robot sisters. It is the perfect shell of the "Vengeful Fury" that holds the Angels of Vengeance.
The Revenge Scythe's jet jet is also a single-seater.
Fortunately, the spacious cockpit is squeezed side by side, and it is still no problem. Of course, this Quintina's custom airship must be much more powerful than the standard vehicles of the Brotherhood of the Undead.
With the route marking of the robot octopus, this should be a very difficult journey is extremely easy.
There was not a single collision and friction. The airship carried the two men to the core of the U-101B excavation face, where it landed on the suspended flight deck of the Plague Research Center, built on the edge of an underground fault.
The robot octopus, which is scattered all over the place, has also completed the vigilance and control of the research center in advance.
When the airship landed smoothly, Quintina and Grindamu descended to the ground, one left and one right.
An octopus sentry had quietly swam over and led the two up the steps to the closed blast door of the research center.
At the time when the research center was established, the pervasive electronic ghost had not yet been born. Therefore, the door should not have to have an electromagnetic shielding effect. However, Quintina found that the ultra-thick alloy blast door not only had an electromagnetic shielding effect, but also had a protective layer similar to an energy film. The entire research center is like a huge electronic cage. All electrical signals are cut off.
Hundreds of years later, magnetofluid motors, powered by geothermal energy, are still powering the entire center. Access control is still in effect.
It is necessary to verify the visitor's biometric information and judge that it is a natural human before allowing entry.
The DNA strand of artificial tissue used by bionic robots is completely different from the genetic coding of natural people.
In other words, only humans are allowed to enter this plague research center.
Here's the problem. Quintina, who has been double-fortified with a favorite hybrid potion, and Grindham, who carries a super gene, are not ordinary humans. It is impossible to open this door.
Not to mention the robot octopus.
What's more, visitors must personally stand at a specific location in front of the door, trigger the pressure sensor, and perform a liveness scan to determine whether to enter or not. Eliminates the possibility of hacking. Breaking in is also not a good option. Because the research center, which has always been electrified, is obviously A.I. on duty. In case of a forcible break-in, activating the center's self-destruct program, it will be more than worth the loss.
What to do?
"Remember the corpses of the human operators in the control room?" Io thought of the corpses of the murders in the locked room.
"Hundreds of years have passed, can a person's DNA be preserved for so long after death?" Grindamm asked.
"Yes." Io gave an affirmative answer: "Human DNA can be extracted from every part of the body. This includes hair, bones, blood, muscles, and more. Under normal circumstances, if the body is intact, DNA is perfectly fine to be preserved in the natural environment for hundreds of years. What's more, the bones and hair are relatively stable, and the corrosion is relatively slow. I've scanned the dried corpses in hazmat suits, which are so well preserved that they can successfully extract intact DNA. ”
"What are you waiting for?" At Quintina's order, several octopus sentinels immediately returned the same way and transported a dried corpse in a hazmat suit.
"Hopefully, there is no liveness detection in the access control." Io joked with a smile. What she's talking about is a logical loophole. Access control only allows humans to pass through. So is there a more detailed distinction between the dead and the living?
When a robotic octopus holds the dried corpse with its tentacles and gently lands its feet in the detection ring, the pressure sensor is immediately activated.
The laser light band shot out by the electronic eye on the access control, up and down, after scanning the dried corpse in detail, there was a ding dong, and the spherical shell-shaped door slowly rose up.
"Success?" Grindamm still couldn't believe it. Unexpectedly...... Can the DNA of a dried corpse pass through?
"Well, it worked." Quintina seemed to be thinking about something.
"That's the difference between intelligence and intelligence." Io sighed, "If the doorman is a programmer like me, he will never let you fool around." ”
"That's right." Grindham waved his hand lightly, and the octopus sentry immediately flew into the center.
Before entering the center, Quintina subconsciously glanced at the dark underground fault not far from her. As soon as his heart moved, a vigilant octopus immediately flew up and rushed down the abyss.
The biggest difference between the octopus sentry on the Hundred-Eyed Giant and the original machine octopus that roams the underground pipelines and guards the machine city is that the octopus sentry has a firewall from the main engine of the spaceship, which can resist the invasion of electronic ghosts to a certain extent.
"It's so advanced." This was the first sense of Grindham who entered the Plague Research Center.
In other words, since it is a scientific research center, it is obviously much more advanced than the equipment of the underground mine. And because it is a scientific research base for the study of the electronic plague, there are no prehistoric machine creations in the center. Except for a host that is still on duty, there are no superfluous artificial intelligence equipment.
"Alarm has been deactivated and an attempt is being made to hack into the core of the system." Io was not idle.
"Be careful. Don't be infected by the plague. Quintina hurriedly admonished.
"Roger." Soon, the host of the research center, which had been operating silently for hundreds of years, was captured by Iran and Russia. Again, in the face of powerful programmers, no matter how tight the host system is, it is just child's play.
The base structure followed closely after the two terminals.
The entire research center is like a giant pushpin, driven deep into the underground rock mass and connected to the geothermal layer.
About half of the thermal energy that has kept the center functioning for hundreds of years comes from the decay of radioactive materials, and the other half is the raw heat that has been preserved since the formation of the earth. It is estimated that the average amount of heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements in the Earth's interior is: 5 trillion ccal/year. The total amount of underground heat energy is about 170 million times that of the earth's coal.
This shows that there is a huge heat reservoir in the interior of the earth.
And it has been released for 4.5 billion years since the birth of the earth.
"Huh? There's also a core. I'o, who carefully occupied the host, made a new discovery: "Ladies and gentlemen, inside this research base, there is also a second-story base called the core body. The nucleus is completely isolated from the research center. The data shows that the core body wraps around the plague scene. The remains of the robot infected are sealed in the core. ”
"So, prehistoric humans built a two-story base to protect the plague site." Quintina quickly said, "Find the entrance to the second floor. ”
"Found it." Yi and Russia quickly marked the path. Along the way, the access control is followed to complete the unlocking.
"What other clues?" Quintina asked.
"I tried to look through the center's logs, only to find that they were completely destroyed. Oddly enough, I didn't find any log deletions. Io replied.
"Does that mean that someone else came in before us?" Greendam thought of a possibility.
"It's possible." Io didn't find any clues to support this argument, it was just a possibility, so she said it was possible.
However, who is it?
