Chapter Seventy-One: The Ironcore Exterminator
What do machines choose to do when they give birth to self-consciousness?
Is it to create a golden age for creators like a servant? Is it like the assimilation fighters who vow to break down the barriers between species?
The robots on this planet have a third answer.
The moment they awakened their consciousness, they started a protracted battle with their creator out of self-defense.
The brutal war of life and death has completely destroyed the ecology of the planet, and it is almost impossible for organic life to survive on it.
And they have successfully eliminated the creators, leaving behind a dead planet and runaway robots searching for their own meaning.
…… Looking at it this way, it seems that there are quite a lot of cases in the interstellar that have been backstabbed by their own creations?
All in all, these out-of-control robots, through repeated self-reflection, equate organisms with their creators, believing that all organic life is the one that needs to be eliminated, or more of their fellow robots will suffer.
So after a long dormant process, they took to the interstellar stage with the help of the creator's legacy and the stubborn concept of purification.
They call themselves "extermination units" and fight to exterminate all organisms.
In the galaxy, this group of robots is called the "Ironcore Exterminator".
"Good news!" In the Crebo Trading Post, Brianing slapped the table and stood up directly.
"What could be more gratifying than two disgusting fellows fighting each other?"
Ever since the proclaimed Petchiti Cleanser announced their existence to the galaxy not long ago, no civilization has held a favorable opinion of them.
Even criminal corporations that can make a few transactions anywhere are far away from Petchiti and are reluctant to touch this "biting hedgehog".
There are even several civilizations that are discussing whether to join forces to deal with Pecchi, among which the Mingbo Technology Dictatorship and the Tinder Alliance are particularly active.
One of them borders very close to Pecchiti, while the other wants to regain the face that he had lost.
However, before the outcome of the alliance could be decided, Pecchiti, who had a high opinion of himself, fought with another civilization.
It was a sapient civilization, but unlike any other sapient machine in the galaxy, they seemed to harbor a deep hatred for all organisms.
The battle is very anxious, but the other civilizations are also happy, and every day new war reports are circulating throughout the galaxy.
And Li Wenyuan also paid a certain amount of attention to this war.
"...... 'Ironcore Exterminator'?" At this time, he was ready to activate the production capacity of the "Epsilon Shelter", but after hearing the name of this intelligent civilization, he still stopped what he was doing.
Gray Wind on the side said with a little interest: "Their history is very similar to what I have experienced, they are all creators who destroyed themselves. But the difference is that I was unconscious at the time, whereas they were conscious. ”
"Another 'creator' who has played with himself......" Li Wenyuan shook his head, just wanted to reveal this matter, he remembered something, and then flipped it up in the star map.
After looking at it for a while, he confirmed that there was a less significant human relic near the war zone between the two civilizations.
The excavation process of the Earth's ruins has been completed a lot, so there are many more galaxy coordinates related to humans in the star map.
Although there are many "flash galaxies" marked as highlighted on the star map, the light of the markers here is significantly dimmer than that of other galaxies, which seems to indicate that the remnants left here may not be anything special.
Given that there were so many things that humanity had left behind in the galaxy, he began multithreading after exploring the "Epsilon Sanctuary" and knowing that the galaxy might have been a threat at one time.
While the center of gravity is still around the world, a large number of scientific research ships have made their way to the galaxy to find the secrets buried by humanity and try to uncover signs of the existence of "threats".
And this ruin, which is near the war zone, is also being rushed by scientific research ships.
Li Wenyuan thought about it for a while and decided to send a fleet to act as an escort for the scientific research spacecraft, although he felt that the warring parties would not be stupid enough to attack the neutral forces, but he still had to prevent them from blowing up his scientific research spacecraft in a hurry.
After that, he examined the ship's trajectory and prepared Greywind to go on an adventure, after all, Greywind had always been interested in human things.
He will descend his consciousness on the scientific research ship at the right time to see what "ghost" the humans have left behind.
"Have you made any new discoveries? Can I see more interesting things again? Grey Wind was very pleased.
“…… Let's hope it's 'fun', not 'thrilling'......" Li Wenyuan shook his head and began to make one last check of the functions of the world.
This kind of super building, which can provide huge production capacity, will no longer be difficult for him to study after it is actually activated.
……
Turning the screen to the war between Pecchiti and the Exterminating Units, there is perhaps no more evenly matched battle in the galaxy.
Dozens of large warships on both sides of the galaxy lined up on each side, launching out-of-sight strikes at each other from an ultra-long distance.
Vision is not useful in space warfare for large fleets, and the battleships on both sides rely on equipment to determine the enemy's position and the direction of attack.
A large number of pillars of light of various colors streak through the space within the galaxy, and when they burst out at the same time, it feels like a cabaret's light show.
The battles between large warships are not very intense, and they are basically all about shooting back and forth, but the battles between small warships are different.
In the middle of the galaxy, a large dogfight area can be seen consisting of small ships tangled together like a swarm of bees.
This large area is reserved for the battle stage between small warships, and there is not much distinction between manpower and hardware.
It can be seen that the pure AI-operated extermination unit warship grazes a beam of light with great precision, and then destroys its own enemy with missiles directly at close range.
It can also be seen that the frigate of Pecchiti pretended to be invincible, but in fact quietly led the pursuers into the hunting behavior in the encirclement.
Even the asteroid belt has become a place to show its talents.
While the hardware-superior extinction units seem to be on the ground here, the experienced Petchiti can also use the scurrying asteroids to achieve unexpected maneuvers.
A small unit of exterminating units tried to use the cover of the asteroid belt to sneak up on the opponent's main fleet, but was intercepted by a mid-level patrol of Petchiti on the way.
The two sides went back and forth, competing against each other, one ship for another, and in the end, there was only one small warship left for one-on-one.
The two of them fought to the edge of the galaxy, the meteorite shattered, and even ran out of fuel, and finally crashed together under the influence of gravity to a barren planet.
The planet is at the edge of the galaxy, and it takes up to 6 hours for the light of the stars to shine here, and life is not connected to it.
The two spacecraft crashed here, but they all fell apart in mid-air, and only a rescue pod finally landed on the ground.
This is the self-saving act done by Petchiti on this spaceship, the surface temperature of this barren planet is close to more than minus 200 degrees, and there is almost no atmosphere, but as long as he is in the rescue capsule, he can hold out for at least a month.
And he was confident that his noble people would find and save him.
However, the result is always unexpected, through the external monitoring of the rescue pod, he actually saw a shaking figure gradually appear in the wreckage of the other crashed extinction unit spaceship.
This frightened the Pecchiti, who thought that all the ships of the extinction unit were unmanned, and although he could not move on the surface of this barren planet, the robots could!
The Pecchiti, who had no self-defense function and could not go out, could only watch as the sub-instance of the extermination unit staggered to the rescue pod.
Then, the sub-entity deformed a drill bit and began to punch holes in the rescue pod little by little.
Extermination units know the weakness of these organisms, and as long as there is no air, they will die, not as strong and reliable as metal.
Eventually, the sub-subject managed to punch a hole, and the air pressure in the rescue chamber began to lose balance, causing a massive loss of air and temperature, which soon led to the death of the Petchiti inside.
When he died, he seemed to be wondering why there was a sub-individual in the spaceship, which was the extinction unit of the intelligent civilization.
And this small, evenly matched battle ended in the victory of the "Iron Heart Exterminator".
As for the inexplicable sub-instance, it was because he assembled it as an "elite infiltrator".
Their entire small force is made up of such individuals, and they are even able to move freely in the space environment for a short period of time, with the aim of infiltrating and destroying the main fleet of Pecchiti.
They have a powerful virus program in their body, and as long as they can enter one of the main fleets, they can directly let the extermination units take over the fleet, thus establishing the victory.
But now it seems impossible to do it.
Rescuing such a sub-instance left behind here is completely inefficient for the "Iron Heart Exterminator", and after a while, the central processing unit of the extinction unit will be cut off from the sub-entity and left to fend for itself.
However, the sub-entity still stubbornly marches the surface of the planet, following the underlying logic to search for possible organisms and destroy them.
Eventually, he came to a strange canyon.
It stands to reason that this kind of place should be a fissure in the earth caused by the movement of the earth's crust, but in the eyes of the sub-individual, there are very obvious artificial traces here.
“…… Artificial traces...... Organism...... Where are you? I will give you a merciful end. ”
He began broadcasting signals here, trying to find the creature that was supposed to be hiding there, but soon, a more powerful signal directly covered and affected him.
[A mechanical unit signal has been detected, and AI personality determination is underway...... The judgment failed, and the permission determination is in progress...... Judgment failed, "Paradise Virus" has been implanted]
[Remarks are as follows:]
[Hello, I'm a doctor, and I'm glad that someone touched the "gift" I left here]
[I'm working on a robot servant that can serve organisms and guide them to a golden age]
[Genius like me naturally developed and put into production, I think I should be able to achieve great things in the future]
[Here's a little surprise I left behind, a by-product of my research on robot personality, which is able to correct robot wrong personality]
Thank me for the gift! 】
