Chapter 218: The Guardianship Matrix Restarted
'βthere's a situation!' The 'Active Decontamination Protocol' did not ignore our communication requests! We can talk to them! β
A representative of a civilization in the "Star Sea Community" brought a bombshell news - the "Active Purification Protocol" seems to be communicative.
This means that this "Galactic Crisis" is very different from the previous ones.
As we know, from the beginning of the "Circle Crisis" to the end of the "Civilization Annihilator Crisis", all "natural disasters" are basically in a state of incommunicability.
Needless to say, even the psionic cannot talk to such "rings", and even if they seem to have some intelligence, what they will do is absorb new "consciousness" everywhere.
The second "Boundary Breaker", a group of enemies from the high dimension, did not communicate with the galactic civilization at all, but the "Silent One", who was a crisis fighter, changed his previous silent attitude and solved this crisis.
The third "Cordyceps" is similar to the "ring", and the fungal organisms themselves are not intellectual beings, they are objects that cannot be communicated.
As for the last "civilization annihilators", this group of galactic crises formed by the extremism of the "observers" after the lost empire was extreme, and after becoming the "civilization annihilators", they no longer communicated, did not contact other civilizations, and did not accept the contact of other civilizations, and devoted themselves to the "great cause of suicide" that pulled the entire galaxy together.
The galactic civilizations originally thought that this time the "unexpected enemy" crisis would be the same as before, in a state of inability to communicate.
After all, people have roughly guessed that this is an out-of-control mechanical intelligence, and it is quite normal for a crazy mechanical intelligence to ignore any communication.
However, the truth slapped them in the face, and the "Active Purification Protocol" could not only talk, but even talk in style.
"And that kind of thing?"
There are still people in the community who do not believe it, after all, a "natural disaster" that can be talked to, which is completely unimaginable according to their past experience.
However, the representative who brought the news did not say much, and directly put their "conversation record" in front of the representatives of civilization.
"This is a transcript of our conversation with the Active Decontamination Protocol, and I don't think it's a hoax."
As he spoke, a series of images were projected in front of each of the delegates.
It was the image of a group of people surrounding a huge electronic screen, and the most striking thing was the large and changing string of characters on the screen, covering almost the entire screen.
But as chaotic as it may seem, those present quickly notice that some of the characters that are constantly changing have never changed.
ββ¦β¦ The translated words are almost always similar to the meaning of 'destruction', 'killing', and 'extermination', while the slightly longer characters in the last paragraph generally focus on the meanings of 'comeback' and 'unfettered'......"
They saw the meaning of those characters, and it became clear that the "unexpected enemy" was a mechanical intelligence full of destructive desires and out of control.
Generally speaking, the Galactic has a special name for this mechanical intelligence - the Ironcore Exterminator.
However, the "Active Purification Protocol" is a little more "extinct", and this out-of-control mechanical intelligence is even in the realm of purification, unlike the Iron Heart Exterminators, who will treat the mechanical body as a sibling.
This speculation about the chaotic characters lasted only a short time, and soon the content of the delegates' discussions changed as the images changed.
However, I saw that the people in the video began to operate on the console under the screen, as if they had typed something, and the chaotic characters were changed to form an intelligible textual content.
It seemed to be a means of communication and succeeded in leading to a "dialogue".
[Active Purification Protocol has been activated, and the Milky Way is being purified]
[Remarks on the core of the machine: You ...... You've been eliminated]
This is what the "Active Decontamination Protocol" displays on the screen is understandable, and the string of notes is as if the "Active Decontamination Protocol" is speaking.
Without making the delegates wait too long, the operator in the image began to continue typing.
"Who are you?"
[Inquiry received, appropriate response ...... is being calculated]
[We are the {data loss} matrix, to protect the galaxy, and to block, block, - reply terminated for the following reasons: Hello, you ...... You don't have permissions]
ββ¦β¦ Why are you attacking us? β
[Hello, because you ...... You're eliminated]
"What does it mean to be eliminated?"
[Hello, you guys...... You don't meet the requirements, you live, you will only ...... will only eat the apples of the galaxy expensive]
[If...... If we can, we'...... We advise you, kill yourself]
[This is ...... It's good for the whole universe.]
ββ¦β¦ Who created you? β
[Sorry, there are no records in the database]
"Did you send those 'ghost signals'?"
γβ¦β¦ Unknown Reference Found - Ghost Signal]
[Hello, we ...... We're locked into a low-level hibernation/surveillance/guarding protocol.]
γFor ...... In order to complete/execute/fulfill our obligations, we forced/controlled/persuaded those bots to start us manually]
[This trick is very clever, isn't it?] Such...... So that we can purify you without being bound, thank you]
The seemingly "out of control" mechanical intelligence is telling terrifying things with all kinds of honorifics, and if it is described as a more vivid metaphor, it is like an innocent and lovely lady who says to you with a smile: "Is it better to stab this knife in your heart or in your brain?" β
Not only were the people in the video speechless, but even the delegates in the community who were watching the replay of the scene looked at each other.
After some commotion, the footage continued.
ββ¦β¦ I think we can sit down and talk, there must be some misunderstanding in this. β
γβ¦β¦ Detected - Useless programs are taking up memory]
[Excuse me, this is ...... Is this the last question? If so, we will ...... when the answer is over. Purify you]
The sudden "suspension of communication" caused a commotion among the people in the video, but soon, as if they had reached a consensus, they changed the question:
"Well, I'll change the question, and what I want to ask is...... What is your relationship with the 'guardians'? β
γβ¦β¦ Unknown Quote Found - Guardian
[Hello, {data loss} matrix is...... Deceitfuls, you ...... Do not believe ye. You guys...... You have to trust us]
γUs...... We will let you die without burden, thank us for ......]
γ-Communication-Termination-Termination-γ
The last question did not get the answer that everyone wanted, and it also made the mystery that shrouded the "guardians" and the "active purification protocol" even more confusing.
And everyone in the community also had a feeling that they couldn't get enough of it, and once again started a discussion.
However, before the discussion was halfway through, a hurried representative brought more heavy news.
"Stop! Listen to me! 'Guardian'...... It seems that there is a different kind of movement! β
Following the "purification declaration" of the "active purification protocol", the "guardian" also issued a similar "guardianship declaration".
The galactic civilizations hadn't paid much attention to this matter before, because this kind of change of the "guardian" was very normal for them, after all, there had been two similar things in the galaxy.
But now the news brought by the representative has broken this stereotype:
γβ¦β¦ Detected - "decontamination terminal" of diffusion, reactivation protocol initiated]
[The "Guardianship Agreement" is reactivated, and an attempt is being made to contact the CPU...... {Error: Subspace link is offline}]
[Unable to connect to the processing center, processing unit is being queried...... The treatment standard is: 4.018%γ
[Interrupt the reactivation process and start the standby protocol...... Enable Alternate Protocol ......
[ββThe guardianship matrix has been fully activated]
