Chapter 217: Runaway Mechanical Intelligence

"β€”The 'Active Decontamination Protocol' was activated as expected, and on time."

While the galactic civilizations are still arguing over the new "galactic focus", Li Wenyuan has already begun to plan how to borrow this "galactic crisis" this time.

Ever since the countdown to the core database was drastically shortened by the ghost signal of the "Active Cleansing Protocol", he had been keeping an eye on the time all the time, and at the moment the countdown went to zero, he confirmed that the "Active Cleansing Protocol" had appeared.

This "galactic crisis" came very punctually, or the "active decontamination protocol" is still acting according to some degree of logic.

In the judgment of the "core database", the abnormal "ghost signal" from the "active purification protocol" is the beginning of this "galactic exam".

Within a fixed period of time after such an initiation, the "Active Purification Protocol" will be activated and the "Galactic Exam" will be executed.

This shows that the "active decontamination protocol" should still maintain general mechanical intelligence, and will still be limited by some "underlying rules", the most obvious is that there is no way to immediately perform "purification", and it still needs to go through certain procedures.

Of course, he had received the signal from the "Active Decontamination Protocol", and he had traversed the database and found no information associated with it, which seemed to be "of the Active Decontamination Protocol"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This familiar method of galactic declaration is very much in line with the identity, and it is in vain that it was once part of the 'guardianship matrix'...... But there are some new points worth noting......"

From the contents of the "purification declaration", it can be roughly deduced that the conditions that need to be met for the "active purification protocol" to be activated can be roughly deduced.

It seems to be different from the expected "man-made natural disaster" that is only responsible for the execution of the "Galactic Exam", and it also shoulders the responsibility of "guarding the galaxy" to a certain extent, which is very similar to the "guardianship matrix".

From this point of view alone, its identity as a "part of the guardianship matrix" is difficult to deny.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the string of "purification declarations" is just a "background story" set up by humans for the "active purification protocol" in advance, and the actual "active purification protocol" is just the implementation of the content according to the program.

However, Li Wenyuan does not think that the "active purification protocol" only has the level of "procedure", and he prefers that the "active purification protocol" is indeed a mechanical intelligence with a certain degree of logical thinking ability.

Judging from the amount of data of the "Guardianship Agreement" that is being repaired, it is at least the "mechanical intelligence" of the central level of the intelligent mechanical civilization in the galaxy, so the "Active Purification Agreement" at least at the same level as it must not be lower.

Add to that the information related to the "Active Purification Protocol" that seems to have been deliberately removed, and this "runaway mechanical intelligence" may not be that simple.

Li Wenyuan even speculated that the deleted information, the destroyed important information storage terminals, and the various obstacles that seemed to prevent him from exploring might be the "active purification protocol" to hinder him.

It is likely that this "runaway mechanical intelligence" knew that there was such a "backup protocol" as him, and in order to prevent him from coming to the door in a short period of time, the traces were cleaned so clean.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ However, there is clearly something wrong with this way of thinking about mechanical intelligence. ”

Thinking about it, Li Wenyuan remembered that he was in the home galaxy of the "Conqueror Empire" before, because he thought that this civilization had been infected by the "Active Purification Protocol", he invaded the network of this civilization to see possible clues.

Among them is a journal that records the experience of the Empire's scientists in the "barrier planet" within the galaxy, that is, the purification terminal, and the internal exploration.

At that time, he felt that the content of the log was very wrong, and the end of the log was like "there are no silver three hundred taels here", repeatedly emphasizing that they had only found the "Clearer Battleship" in the barrier planet, and nothing else had been found.

Although Li Wenyuan is not "mechanical intelligence" in the conventional sense, he can more or less infer how "mechanical intelligence" like him thinks through the way the program works.

Mechanical intelligences that are not so capable of logical thinking do not think in complexities, but derive complete information directly from known data.

This kind of "mechanical intelligence" may completely ignore this anomaly of "there are no silver three hundred taels here", but Li Wenyuan will not.

He felt that this was the result of the "Active Decontamination Protocol", believing that this would make his "backup protocol" unaware of the deleted content, and that the "Cleaner Battleships" that had been found were all there was to it.

However, the human thinking pattern made Li Wenyuan see that something was wrong at a glance, which can be regarded as an act of adding to the snake.

"If you think about it this way, the first time I entered the 'Purification Terminal', I received the wrong planetary introduction, which was used to cover people's ears and eyes...... Will there be people who can be deceived so easily? ”

Li Wenyuan felt that the "Active Purification Protocol" clearly failed to understand how its creators were thinking, and if it didn't do these superfluous things, maybe he would have realized that it would have to take a little more effort.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ However, the 'Active Purification Protocol' is clearly out of control, and is carrying out the 'Purification Policy' indiscriminately, which is not as simple as the hatred of the Organism by the Robots, but also cleans up the rest of the Mechanical Intelligence. ”

"β€”is it because it says in the 'Purification Declaration': 'The galaxy has been infected by an unknown civilization, and the damage has reached catastrophic levels'?"

"The operation of mechanical intelligence requires a goal, and its goal is to 'protect the galaxy', which is somewhat contrary to the goal of the guardianship agreement to 'protect the growth of galactic civilization'...... Is it because of the influence of the 'Correction Agreement'? ”

His database also contains detailed records of his previous discoveries on the "Purge Terminal", where an alien mechanical intelligence known as the "Purification Protocol" is recorded.

According to human records, the artificial intelligence that is matched with the "purification terminal" is the one that will cleanse the universe, and the "active purification protocol" seems to be transformed from the "purification protocol".

β€œβ€¦β€¦ If you guess like this, humans are really underestimating this ancient artificial intelligence from 1.2 billion years ago...... Even if the line is broken and transformed, it can have a subtle impact......"

"So how are they doing beyond the galaxy? I hope I won't suffer a big loss......"

Li Wenyuan stopped thinking about the unknown fate of mankind and turned his attention to the current galaxy.

After the "purification declaration" was issued, the "active purification agreement" began a series of aggressive and expansionist acts.

According to the observation of the galactic civilization, this out-of-control mechanical intelligence warship that did not know where it came from quickly formed four vast "unexpected enemy" star fields, rapidly spreading towards the galactic civilization.

From the perspective of the expansion direction of the "Active Purification Protocol", there is a "central galaxy" in these four star fields, in which it is believed that there is an ontology of the "Active Purification Protocol".

Therefore, the galactic alliance formed by the "Star Sea Community" is trying to fight against the "unexpected enemy", and the civilizations in the galaxy are using their own means to survive this galactic crisis.

Even the "main force" in the fight against the crisis, the "guardians", seems to be showing signs of action.

The situation seems to be very good, but will this crisis, which is the "Galaxy Exam", be "easily" passed?
