In the process of Yang Meng's debugging of the dormant cabin, Xiao Yin finally came to the upgrade data of Cai Zhaoxin's artificial intelligence.

"Upgraded to a scheduled timeline!"

"Please give the next step!"

Hearing Xiao Yin's voice, Yang Meng temporarily put down the task in his hand and checked the data transmitted by Xiao Yin.

Looking at the upgrade data above,

He nodded slightly,

He didn't ask Xiao Yin to upgrade Cai Zhaoxin's artificial intelligence to the latest version that Xiao Yin has.

Instead, it was only upgraded to a partial version of the time when he left Earth and before the Earth forces wiped out the gray forces.

Because then he's going to make a certain observation,

Observe the impact of the Trojan in the packet on the artificial intelligence with each upgrade, and then determine some problems.

"Prepare to import the first suspect packet!"

"Understood!"

With Yang Meng's instructions,

According to the predetermined plan, further testing of Cai Zhaoxin's artificial intelligence began.

And this kind of test takes a lot of time.

During the test time, Yang Meng continued to maintain the hibernation cabin.

In the empty universe,

The concept of time and the concept of space are often in harmony with each other.

When Yang Meng spent time figuring out the problems in artificial intelligence,

The spacecraft is also accelerating away from the Ross 128 galaxy a little bit,

After confirming that it was Cai Zhaoxin in the sleeping cabin,

For Yang Meng of this galaxy, there is basically not much memory,

Whether it's 617 on planet b or the more peculiar clones above,

It's not important to Yang Meng,

As a result, the spacecraft left at a very fast pace, and the Ross 128 galaxy was just a mini galaxy.

So just a little time later, the red star was the size of a ping-pong ball.

……

It's a new day again,

Yang Meng stood in front of the porthole and looked at the brilliant galaxy in the universe, and muttered silently in his heart:

"It's finally time to return to the solar system!"

In accordance with the recommendations of the ground command center,

Those pioneer astronauts who were ten light-years away from Earth, when they returned to Earth,

You should first travel to Barnard's system, which is the second closest to Earth, to rest for a while before returning to Earth.

For this kind of suggestion, if it was changed to the previous Yang Meng, he might listen,

But now, after getting a lot of ambiguous information from Ross 128b, Yang Meng's heart is filled with a sense of urgency.

"The energy from the stars is starting to dwindle, and I'm going to hibernate too!" I don't know when, Xiaoguang came behind Yang Meng:

"The next time I wake up, I should be able to see your people!"

Hearing Xiaoguang's speech, Yang Meng didn't know what to think, and glanced back at this somewhat dim point of light:

"You seem to be a little too curious about my people!"

"I'm about to see an alien civilization with a certain level of technology, and it's normal for me to be curious.

I think your people are also very curious about an alien civilization like mine, right? ”

"Curious about the Rutan civilization?"

Hearing Xiaoguang's words, Yang Meng fell silent

Until now, I don't know the attitude of human beings towards the Rutanan civilization.

In many letters, he has already mentioned the matter of the Rutans civilization,

But on the earth's side, there was no reply to this at this time.

"What the hell is going on in the solar system and why is this happening!"

Until now, Yang Meng couldn't figure out what kind of situation this was.

At this time, Xiaoguang has come to the platform where he hibernate before,

And Yang Meng floated in front of the porthole, and after looking for a while, he finally turned around and left.

He first came to the equipment room,

Check the test status of 015 artificial intelligence,

During this time, Yang Meng conducted several rounds of upgrade experiments with viruses on Cai Zhaoxin's artificial intelligence.

Just like Cai Zhaoxin's own research conclusions,

These Trojan-like programs are not threatening, and seem to be just trying to wrap the communication coordinates inside.

After basically determining that the Trojan virus was not dangerous, Yang Meng began to fix the vulnerability.

But he is not a professional computer engineer, and even with Xiao Yin's auxiliary vulnerability, the repair of the vulnerability is not very smooth.

But in this case, Yang Meng is still trying to fix the loopholes.

"It's better to fix than not to fix it!"

"If the loophole problem can't be solved, I can only think of moving Xiao Yin's position!"

After reviewing the research progress of artificial intelligence,

Yang Meng rushed to the communication cabin, where a large number of information packets that needed to be decrypted were accumulated.

These accumulated information packets are all periodic communications sent by the earth to Cai Zhaoxin,

There are too many data accumulated over the past hundred years, and it is not something that can be read by humans.

Faced with this situation, he originally wanted to break some restrictions, such as letting Xiao Yin view these periodic communication packets,

But when he learned that there was also a loophole in Xiao Yin, he could only extinguish that thought,

Fortunately, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

Yang Meng still found some computers that could run offline to import and analyze this information.

"Just another packet was imported!"

Looking at the information of the computer that had just been imported, Yang Meng floated to the console and began to check it.

"It seems that this is the periodic communication packet received by Cai Zhaoxin 30 years after he decided to disconnect communication with the Earth side!"

"Hmm...... At the beginning, the ground still asked about Cai Zhaoxin's situation, and hoped that she could reply to the periodic communication as soon as possible! ”

"Judging from the previous content, the earth aspect has basically been determined, and Cai Zhaoxin has a problem!"

At this time, Yang Meng glanced at the log records in the communication device removed from the Wide Area Silence,

"Judging from the log, Cai Zhaoxin still hasn't replied!"

"As for the information that follows!"

Yang Meng used the data analysis function to extract a large amount of information, and began to compare it with the periodic information he received

Looking at the comparison information being analyzed little by little, he sighed in his heart:

"According to the Aerospace Information Security Law, periodic communication cannot be read in this way,

In a sense, I've pushed a boundary! ”

"But in order to figure out the situation on the ball, some things should be able to be changed!"

Thinking of this, it seemed that something that was binding on him was lightened a lot.

Next, Yang Meng began to read the information of the comparison,

In the analyzed data, the green part indicates that the content is the same, while the red part indicates that the content is different, or the part of the other party has no information.

"There is no difference between the situation on the earth and the introduction of the human environment!"

"Huh! Here there is a difference in red! ”

"This part is about ......"

Yang Meng carefully browsed the places where the abnormality occurred,

Discovery is also a description of gray forces,

In the periodic correspondence sent to him, it is described as evil.

And the degree described in the correspondence sent to Cai Zhaoxin is extremely evil,

Under this level of description, Yang Meng even faintly read out some warnings,

The forces on Earth seem to be warning Cai Zhaoxin not to contact the gray forces.

Looking at this kind of warning information, Yang Meng frowned slightly,

With his knowledge of the forces of the earth,

If it were the people of the earth, or the people he knew, he would not have given such a dark, subtle warning.

The Earth side will directly tell the Pioneer Navigators that the untouchable Grey Forces.

"Why didn't the ground warn directly, but sent such an unclear message?"

Yang Meng was a little puzzled,

As a pioneer astronaut, he has many things to be good at, and he has many skills that ordinary people can't master.

But as a human being, he still has shortcomings,

is not good at intrigue and intrigues, and even says that he is a little wooden,

I don't know if Cai Zhaoxin has read this periodic correspondence or read anything out of it.

She's always been better at this than I am! ”

Thinking of this, Yang Meng sighed:

"Maybe it was because she saw something that made her decide to cut off communication with Earth!"

"But what was she sure of to make such a decision?"

Yang Meng pondered, trying to deduce something based on the information he currently has,

But in the end, he didn't wait for a conclusion that could convince him.

Maybe it's some of the ideas that his grandfather has instilled in him all the years that keep him from doubting something,

In short, after reading the information of the comparative analysis, Yang Meng was silent for a long time before leaving the communication cabin.

According to the logic of normal thinking,

At this time, the situation in the solar system is very strange, and you should avoid returning.

But for Yang Meng, who has been away from the earth for a hundred years and has always trusted the ground,

It's like there are a lot of people who keep telling him that you are a woman and not a man,

This statement is clearly contrary to self-perception and breaks the worldview,

At first he was dismissive,

But as more and more, strange evidence emerges,

He wants to take a look, to determine something with his own eyes, and only when he completely confirms something will he completely die.

Even then, he encountered danger after returning to the solar system,

But for him, it was all worth it.

……

Yang Meng left the communication cabin,

Arrived at the cabin where Cai Zhaoxin's dormant pod was parked again,

After confirming that Cai Zhaoxin's hibernation capsule is correct,

He came to the side of the sleeping pod again,

There's an experimental chamber with a transparent cover.

And there is a large amount of equipment in the transparent cover, and a spherical device is being studied.

And this spherical device is also the real purpose of his here.

He came to the console to check the progress of the research on the metal ball during this time.

And the spherical device in the transparent window in front of him,

It was the device with the anomalous energy body in Cai Zhaoxin's dormant cabin.

"It seems that the research on this thing is not going fast!"

"It's still because of the temperature and environmental limitations!"

Thinking that this metal ball needs to be kept in a low-temperature hibernation chamber, a temperature environment close to absolute zero, Yang Meng is also a little helpless,

The limitation of temperature became the biggest obstacle to his research on this thing.

"I can only wait until I am completely away from the stars, and then build a dark space laboratory in a cold environment outside the spacecraft!"

"But to achieve that kind of environment, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the next hibernation to wake up!"

"As for Hikaru ...... suggestion"

For the study of this anomalous energy body, Xiao Guang once suggested that destroying its external structure and releasing the abnormal energy inside might be able to achieve unexpected results.

And for this kind of very risky suggestion, if this thing is not related to Cai Zhaoxin, he can still accept such a suggestion,

But considering that this thing is related to Cai Zhaoxin, he also has to be cautious,

"If the Cold and Dark Laboratory is successfully established, this kind of attempt can be carried out in the case that it cannot be studied!"

After inspecting the research chamber where the anomalous energy body is located,

Yang Meng inspected other places again, and dealt with some accumulated affairs before returning to the equipment cabin, ready to continue to patch the loopholes in the artificial intelligence.

At this time, he noticed that Xiaoguang was about to sleep, and suddenly thought of something:

"By the way, there is one more thing that I forgot to check, and I don't know if the clone of Lu Yaoqi is still alive?"

Thinking of this thing that he had forgotten,

He came to a screen and looked at it.

After this period of sailing,

He is already more than 4 astronomical units away from planet b,

And the meaning of 1 astronomical unit is the average distance from the earth to the sun,

At such a distance, it takes almost nine minutes for a beam of light to travel from the Sun to Earth.

And 4 astronomical units,

It also means that the picture he sees on the screen at this time is the picture from more than half an hour ago.

This is one of the reasons why he left the clones on Planet B alone

Because as he gets farther and farther away from Planet B, he is basically unable to meddle in some things on Planet Ross 128b.

At this time, Yang Meng looked at some records of Lu Yaoqi's clones during this time, and he didn't know what he saw, and some brilliance appeared in his eyes.

"This clone is finally no longer confused, in a sense, she has also broken through the restrictions that have been binding on her since birth!"

In the picture of the reflection under Yang Meng's eyes,

Lu Yaoqi finally stopped kneeling and praying forever,

Instead, according to the knowledge left by Yang Meng, she began to explore the clone base where she was.

Yang Meng didn't know what this kind of exploration would make Lu Yaoqi change.

It is also unknown what this change will bring to the clones on Planet B?

He could only observe from afar and wait for the answer in the future.

……

Time continues to pass,

A month later,

The Infinite East is completely free from the gravitational influence of Ross 128,

At this time, the speed of the spacecraft has accelerated to 9% of the speed of light, and it continues to accelerate.

Floating on the porthole and looking at the Ross 128 galaxy, Yang Meng could only see an extremely bright red star.

"It's time to hibernat!"

Yang Mengdi in front of the porthole muttered, and then glanced back,

Because it is far away from the stars, Xiaoguang has long gone into dormancy,

He's the only one busy on the spaceship,

During the month, he used various methods to try to hide the next trace of the ship.

The first thing he did was not to report his next path in the direction of the earth.

This means that the Earth side will lose his periodic communications.

However, he was able to receive periodic communications from Earth until Earth determined that he was missing.

"If the sleep goes well, the next time I wake up, the solar system will be about six light-years away!"
