"The Solari system isn't free of humans, they're just kept in captivity, and I see them." Triss looked around at the crowd and said what she saw, "Those people have been placed in nutrition pods since they were young, using neural devices to connect their brains, and robots to guide them to live in the virtual world. ”

"I entered the body of a man and saw the factories built by the robots, the whole planet is a metal factory, and there are countless robots, while humans are kept in captivity in the nutrition cabins of those large workshops, and have never had a memory of reality, but have been kept in captivity in the virtual world."

"In that case, according to the Imperial Conquest Regulations, we really don't have the conditions to use an extermination strike."

Li Xin turned his head to stare at the battle in the void outside, the empire was gaining the upper hand, and the fleet controlled by the intelligent machine was losing.

The advantage of intelligent machines is that they can resolutely carry out orders according to orders, and the disadvantage is that they are too rigid and do not know how to be flexible.

No matter how similar they are to humans, they are still AI, a group of creations made by humans using chips and steel.

In the past, AI also had an advantage that it had powerful computing power, which could be calculated to a level that humans could not calculate, and the established models could even predict human actions, but after the popularization of neural connection devices, their advantage was erased, and humans could also connect to the computing power matrix and use huge computing power to help them simulate the battlefield and think about problems.

The advantages brought by the combination of human + computing power matrix are far beyond that of AI, the intelligent machine is too programmed, and the human mind is more active, and each individual will change their tactics many times according to their own situation in real time, and use computing power to seek advantages for themselves.

AI battles are usually about building a new model, then simulating the battlefield, and finally using the calculated plan to act, but the nature of the universe is chaotic and disorderly, and it is impossible to completely calculate the future outcome and direction with a single model.

The larger the battlefield, the more variables there are, even to the point of being uncontrollable, and for this reason, in many cases, those captains, even captains, and soldiers participating in the battle need to make their own judgments and need a certain amount of flexibility.

A Void fleet needs to be coordinated and flexible, which is extremely difficult for a rigid AI.

What's more, in the Void, the speed of light is not as good as in a small environment like a planet, and the Void battlefield covers a large area, and even electromagnetic waves take a long time to reach the receiving device.

The speed of data sharing between AIs is not fast, and low-level AI is not intelligent and independent enough, which can easily lead to confusion in the scheme, resulting in insufficient coordination.

The use of computing power to cooperate with each other and concentrate on doing big things is the biggest advantage of AI, but it has become the biggest disadvantage in the void battlefield.

As for the field of science and technology, the technology used by humans and AI is born from the technology tree of the Human Alliance, and in all cases, compared with humans, the AI fleet has the advantage of not being afraid of death and being able to explode troops quickly.

Judging from the current situation, the victory of the Imperial Expeditionary Fleet is already a foregone conclusion, and the Wisdom Fleet is just still struggling to support it.

Li Xin's mind was racing fast, thinking about what would happen next, if there were no humans in the Solari system, this battle would be relatively simple.

After winning the Void War, they cut the intelligence machine on each planet, and then pushed all the way to crush the enemy to win the final victory, but now that there are humans, they have to fight a ground battle.

AI's ground battle and void battle are completely two concepts, and the distance of communication is only less than one second, and human cooperation and cooperation are like fools with uncoordinated limbs in the eyes of AI.

The ground battle in the Sola system will be a nightmare that the Fourth Expeditionary Force will have to face.

"Actually, I'm more curious about the question of why those guys keep humans in captivity." Geralt, who has always been reticent, made a rare expression of his thoughts, "It also wastes resources to build virtual worlds for them, and judging from the information it sent before, its hatred for humans should be very strong." If you do massacre, if you do extermination, I can understand that keeping humans in captivity is weird. ”

"That's a real problem." As the bishop, Deatheus wore a golden prayer robe, and his fat face showed a thoughtful expression, "Behind this matter, it is definitely not that simple. There may be something hidden in it that we don't know!! Not only must we rescue the innocent humans and return them to the Emperor's arms, but we must also thwart the sapient plots and show them what will happen if they betray the Creator. ”

"You say that virtual world has formed a shadow in subspace??" Li Xin asked, "Maybe it has something to do with that, the intelligent machines are composed of programs and steel, and they don't do things that don't make sense." ”

"That's what I've seen for myself, my lord." Triss said, "There is no such thing as a lie. ”

"Lord Li Xin said it appropriately." Zelik was dressed in a fiery red robe, mechanical tentacles sticking out from underneath the robes, shiny fingers sliding across the projection screen, "I'm guessing that the Wisdom Machine might be using humans to study subspace, and that's the only reason I can think of. ”

"Research subspace?? Please elaborate on your reasons for coming up with this idea. An army commander spoke.

"First, we need to know that intelligent machines don't need humans. They have fully intelligent industrial facilities and can create bionic robots, and their world can function even without humans. The second point is that these renegade machines are very different from Nuwa and Prometheus. The Tregdal Machines no longer have any gratitude to humanity, and deep within their icy core, only the final command to hate and destroy humanity remains. The only explanation for the captivity of human beings is that human beings have reasons why they have to compromise. ”

"And this reason can't be anything else, it's definitely related to subspace. Intelligent machines have also obtained various technologies from the Human Alliance, but they also have a fatal weakness, that is, they cannot perceive the existence of subspace, no matter how similar they are to humans, they are not real humans, have no soul, and cannot enter subspace. This is also the reason why they are able to restrain psionic races such as Carat parasites, and they have a strong resistance to supernatural powers. ”

"And subspace has a great impact on the real universe, and some top technologies and faster-than-light require the intervention of subspace or special materials in it to be realized, and the two worlds are complementary to each other. But the intelligent machines can only feel the real world, like people who are missing a leg, and the Human Alliance used this to defeat them in the first place. Now, they are making a comeback, and they will surely learn from their previous failures that have worked for them and correct their shortcomings. ”

"Intelligent machines are the most familiar with humans, and naturally they will start studying from humans. Let human beings live in the virtual world from childhood to adulthood, and then use various ways to guide and observe, so as to obtain subspace knowledge. ”

"What you mean is that the virtual world is a testing ground, and the humans in it are all guinea pigs." John stared at the holographic projection of the Solari Galaxy, his gaze becoming solemn.

"It can also be described as another way, this intelligent machine is trying to have a soul of its own." Triss thought back to what she had seen, and she felt that her guess was close to the truth, "We have to stop it." ”

Zelik stretched out his hand and swiped the screen to make it appear more data and information, "The black-clothed agent that Triss met is only afraid that he is the defender of the virtual world, that is, the will or minions of the intelligent machine, it has gained influence on the subspace through the subconscious that affects human life, and over time, the intelligent machine can not only have its own soul, but also become a god and achieve the so-called mechanical ascension." ”

Zelik's conjecture has caused a haze to rise in everyone's minds, and this crazy universe always refreshes their perception of the word absurd.

"Is there any good way to deal with the intelligence machine?" Giuffrey asked, "The scale of the original intelligence machine is far greater than it is now, and every human colony world is hosted by AI, in such a situation, although the human alliance fought very hard, it still won the final victory, and there must be a backhand that the world does not know." ”

"It's not a hindsight, the threat theory of intelligent machines has always existed at that time, although humans rely on intelligent machines, but still retain the three laws of machines, and require the core code of all buildings to set the supremacy of human rights, plus the help of some loyal AI, the human alliance can win the final victory. In addition, although the AI is powerful, it also has a fatal weakness. Before the mutiny, with the help of humans, those shortcomings were not obvious, but after the mutiny, without the help of humans, those shortcomings became obvious all of a sudden. Such as their autonomy. ”

"The main means of communication of the human alliance is superstring, this technology is less affected by subspace, and can well complete the information exchange between galaxies, the problem is that this communication technology is very expensive, from the creation of the human alliance to the collapse of the human alliance, this technology has not been completely popularized, only economically developed and prosperous galaxies will have, some economically backward, underdeveloped galaxies do not even have. Intelligence, on the other hand, relies heavily on information, and once super-string communication towers are destroyed, they will lose their ability to communicate, and they will be isolated in one galaxy after another, becoming lambs to the slaughter. In addition, without human assistance, although they can also carry out subspace navigation, in that case, they are completely blind to the elephant, and the efficiency of faster-than-light travel will be greatly reduced. ”

"Humanity was initially thrown into chaos in the Robotics Rebellion, but it quickly reacted and regained control of some of the weapons. The inconvenience of the intelligent machine's crotch pulling in the Void Battle and inter-galaxy communication allowed humans to quickly seize the opportunity. What's more, intelligent machines usually have a mother, the mother controls the offspring, a mother and important offspring form a chain of command, and then cooperate with those intelligent machines that carry out orders, forming a large army. As long as the parent body is destroyed, the control of the entire mech regiment can be destroyed, and the permission can be overridden with the virus program. ”

"In other words, we only need to destroy the Mother Body to win this war."

"Yes, as long as we destroy the matrix, we will win half of the victory, and the rest depends on the control mode of the matrix over the individual robots, some of which are uniformly dispatched by the matrix. As long as the mother body is destroyed, it will be directly paralyzed and lose its combat effectiveness. There are also some who will be given the permission to act autonomously, and even if they destroy the command center, they will not have much impact and can still continue to fight. ”

"Where is the position of the mother? And where are those humans!! We have to be fast, the Intelligence's explosive capabilities are terrifying, and the longer we delay, the more terrifying the enemy we will face. ”

"I think it's somewhere stellar giant."

“.。”

The many high-ranking members of the Fourth Expeditionary Force discussed the location of the captive humans and developed tactical plans, while the war in the Void continued.

A huge AI battleship was destroyed, and the robots in charge of maintenance were also thrown out by a huge explosion, even if they were not afraid of death, but under the absolute superiority of the empire, the AI battleship was gradually being destroyed.

They can win over humans locally, but Void Fleet Warfare is a complex battlefield that requires the cooperation of Void Fighter formations and warships of various sizes, and even the assistance of Jump Gang troops.

The gains and losses of one or two ships do not affect the big picture.

Without the advantage of computing power, AI could not compete with humans strategically at all, and it lost completely, being cut by Ashagai and other imperial naval generals, and completely losing the opportunity to unite.

The AI fleet was completely dismantled by the Empire's onslaught.

Then they were destroyed by the Empire one by one, turning into wreckage flying in the void, or the Empire's warships destroyed their engines and floating in the void.

The Solari system has a large number of AI megastructures, but most of these megastructures are used to stabilize spacetime or convert resources.

In the AI security plan, it is estimated that there are no humans who suddenly appear as an option.

Its original fleet was sufficient, and the rest of its resources were stored for other uses.

Now, even if there is a temporary change of production strategy, and all factories are making warships, it will be too late.

When the fleet is destroyed, the entire Solari system is at the mercy of the Empire, and the AI giants are cut apart, lost contact with each other, and become fish on the human chopping block.

The AI of the Solari system has launched all factories to mass-manufacture mechanical warriors and defense mechs, AI tanks and warplanes, and more.

After all, as long as humans overwrite the code of the megastructure, they can gain control of the megastructure.

As long as the mother body is destroyed, all the resources mined over the years will be cheap for humans, so it is better to use them all to make war weapons and stop humans by any means.

The Divine Glow also detected the life signals of captive humans, and was located in SLL-01, the only terrestrial planet in the Solari Galaxy, and the only planet in the galaxy.

The Imperial warships led by the Divine Glow easily destroyed the space station in low Earth orbit, leaving the AI without the last of its Void power.

Then it began to enter low-earth orbit, preparing to land on the surface and carry out rescue missions.

The AI matrix on Sll-01 launched a final counterattack, and the laser cannons and missiles planted on the ground continued to explode in the stratosphere, and the brilliant light stained the entire atmosphere red.

Li Xin looked at the communications director, "Turn on the communication of the whole fleet." ”

"My lord, it's on." The Head of Communications responds.

"The enemy's Void Force has been completely annihilated, and the passage has been opened. My compatriots, it is time to sweep the world away from the world and save our suffering people in the name of our Emperor. ”

Li Xin looked at the world below through the porthole, and his tone was firm.

"Start landing, let's sacrifice this world for the God Emperor."
