Wang Chao heard the sound of battle outside early in the morning.

He patted Lily on the shoulder as he contacted Nimeow, "Wake up!" It seems that something has happened. ”

Lily rubbed her eyes and sat up, looking around suspiciously, "Huh? We're not on a spaceship? ”

Wang Chao: "We didn't spend the night on the spaceship yesterday. ”

In fact, Wang Chao originally wanted to return to the spaceship and disconnect the airlock with Apollodorus by the way.

But in the end he felt that seemed too cautious.

And she has Nimeow, a guy with only three percent cerebral cortex, who sleeps just to keep herself from going crazy - she's really afraid she's going crazy.

Yesterday, before staying up late, Ni Meow also poured several bottles of energy drinks, and Wang Chao laughed at her: "The remaining three percent of your energy drinks are pickled in the flavor." ”

Of course, energy drinks don't really deliver three percent of Nimeow's, she just drinks energy drinks for the sake of making appearances, just like she eats on time every day.

Well, there is another reason to eat to satisfy the appetite - the appetite of the mouth.

Wang Chao jumped out of bed and got dressed, looked at Lily, and after making sure she had woken up, he looked outside the door.

Gale was sitting on a chair outside, watching a movie, and as soon as he saw Wang Chao showing his head, he immediately greeted: "Hi! ”

Wang Chao: "Where's Nimeow?" ”

Nimeth rolled down from the ceiling, "I'm here." ”

Wang Chao: "Why are you hiding there?" ”

"In this way, it can be matched with Gale, she is in the light, she is responsible for being attacked by people, and I am responsible for sneaking up on others."

Gale: "I'm the one responsible for dying." But it seems that this time I didn't die. ”

Wang Chao: "What's going on with the battle?" ”

Nimeow: "I was so focused on defense that I didn't pay much attention to the situation outside. ”

"Then you'd better pay attention and put some sniffing programs or something out and have a look. Listening to the sound is not very far from us. ”

Lily stretched out of the house, "What's going on?" Also, what is the sound of battle? I didn't hear the fighting, did I? ”

It seems that although Lily's ears are very sharp, she is not very "smart" and cannot hear sounds from distant places.

Wang Chao: "Our auditory system is able to reproduce very faint sounds, and it is obvious that there is a battle nearby. ”

Gale directly stuck the whole person on the wall: "Well, there is indeed a sound of fighting, I'll change to something that has a direct connection over there and listen to it." ”

She climbed to the top of the room with a brisk stride, punched the vent cover, revealing the pipes underneath, and pressed her ear to it.

At this time, Nimeow said: "My sniffing program has used intelligence, and the battle took place in the lower engineering area of the space station, and the design map indicates that this is the ventilation and life support system area...... However, interesting. ”

Wang Chao: "What's wrong?" ”

Nimeow: "Everything in this area is so perfect, looking at these duty records, these people actually make mistakes from time to time!" ”

Wang Chao: "Why is it strange to make mistakes from time to time?" ”

Nimeow directly arranged all the data that made mistakes: "Didn't you find it?" The timing of mistakes is irregular......"

Wang Chao: "And human beings can't make mistakes completely without regularity. ”

"Yes, it looks like someone falsifying the data is making a random mistake based on a table of random numbers. I've looked at three years of records, and not a single error or omission occurred at the same time of day.

"Of course, logically my fault is untenable, and I can't assume that there is a ghost in all of this because of this. But ......"

Wang Chao: "But human beings sometimes just don't talk about logic. So what do you think it is? ”

"I don't know." Nimeow spread her hands, "But there's a fight going on there." But this battle has nothing to do with us. We should focus on bringing in new members. ”

"You're right, let's go find Nia." Wang Chao said.

Nimeow immediately marked Nia's location on the map in his head, and by the way, he also sent the surveillance video of Nia's door.

Nimeow: "Do you want to see it inside?" ”

Wang Chao: "I still don't want it." ”

Gale: "Anyway, just look at it when you get on the boat." ”

Lily: "Wait a minute! I haven't showered in the morning yet! The ** you made yesterday is now lumpy and can be torn off! ”

"Then hurry up!"

**

Fifteen minutes later, Wang Chao and his party finally went out.

Lily: "I didn't wash my hair, it felt sticky." ”

Wang Chao: "When we get back to the ship, you'll have a good wash." ”

Gale: "Do you think it's quiet on the road?" ”

"There was probably a fight, so everyone locked themselves in their rooms." Wang Chao replied, "We estimate that we will have to explain it when we encounter the security forces." Nimeth tried to let us walk around the security forces as much as she could. ”

Nimeow: "There are no security forces. All the troops looked like they had been moved down to counterinsurgency. By the way, the rebels seem to be trying to get to the living quarters. ”

Wang Chao pointed to the ground: "We are here?" ”

"Yes. But it's none of our business, let's go find Nyoa as soon as possible. ”

**

By the time Gaius arrived at the command center, several familiar faces had already arrived.

For example, yesterday I personally received Wang Chao's vice chairman.

When he entered, the Deputy Speaker was making an impassioned statement: "These terrorists are attacking the life-sustaining area of the space station to threaten the lives of all of us!" We recommend leaving the station immediately now.

"The leadership of the Senate is indispensable in times of crisis!"

The others nodded their heads.

Gaius: "And then? With the Senate leaving at this time, how can it convince the security forces to fight? ”

Deputy Speaker: "A battle robot that can be controlled by the Three Sages!" These rebels don't trust any AI because they are suspicious of AI, and they will be wiped out by the tide of AI armies! ”

As soon as the words fell, the building's lights suddenly went out, and then the emergency lights came on.

Gaius's younger brother Julian shouted, "Hold on, the backup system should be activated immediately." It was supposed that the rebels used the electromagnetic pulse. ”

The deputy speaker slammed the table hard: "Why don't you use nerve gas yet?" Poison them with nerve gas! ”

Julian: "We used it. But the rebels seem to have made a targeted defense, but it has no effect. ”

The Deputy Speaker pointed at Julian: "I know you!" You sympathize with the rebels, and even call them anti-AI in private. ”

Julian: "I've always believed that the rational use of AI is a reinforcement for human society, but isn't it arbitrary to say that I'm an anti-AI faction just because of that?" ”

The deputy speaker was just about to speak, when a councilor spoke: "Speaking of the area where the rebels raided this time, there have always been urban legends that this is actually the 'ranch' of the AI, and there are many humans who are imprisoned here......"

Julian: "We've confirmed this rumor many times, and it's indeed Apollodorus' life support system.

"Apollodorus' life-sustaining system has a lot of design redundancy in order to guarantee supply in the event of an emergency."

Deputy Speaker: "Really? Have you gone down and seen it yourself? ”

"Not really. But I don't think the security forces can all be unreliable people, and I actually deliberately planted anti-AI people into the investigation, and they didn't object. Julian paused, "And I'm the one who personally supervises." ”

He spread his hands: "We even think I'm an anti-AI faction, don't we?" Of course, I scrutinize every detail. ”

The Deputy Speaker glanced at the member who had just spoken, and the latter shrugged.

At this time, next to the holographic structure diagram of the space station in front of everyone, the two-dimensional image of the three sages appeared: "Request a call, request a call!" ”

Gaius looked around at everyone and made sure everyone was okay before he said, "Connect." ”

The image of the three sages immediately enlarged: "Ladies and gentlemen, the rebels are trying to make their way to the living quarters, and at the same time, we have discovered that someone has kidnapped Professor Nia. ”

Gaius: "Professor Nia? Is it Wang Chao them? ”

Three Sages: "The cameras along the way are all controlled, I don't know the details. ”

After a brief thought, Gaius turned to Julian and said, "It seems that the Praetorian Guard needs to be dispatched. ”

Julian: "That requires both you and the Deputy Speaker's authorization. ”

Deputy Speaker: "If we send out the Praetorian Guard, won't Julian take the opportunity to destroy all the AI?" ”

The Praetorian Guard is the only force that the AI can't control, as it's a mechic mercenary.

Just as Byzantium had a Varangian Guard, the United Star Cluster had a Praetorian Guard that was all hired. In addition, Starlink, which makes extensive use of AI, believes that it is a reliable force that will not be eroded by AI, but is as efficient as AI.

Faced with the deputy speaker's questioning, Julian said, "I myself am here, and if I let the Praetorian Guard attack the Three Sages, you can kill me." Anyone in this room can easily do this with a prosthetic body, right? ”

Gaius exchanged glances with the Deputy Speaker, who stood up and walked to the right of the large double-headed eagle relief on the wall of the conference room.

Gaius came to the left.

After the sudden appearance of the scanner scanned the pupil patterns of the two men, the cover on the wall slowly slid upwards to reveal the touchscreen below.

The two pressed their right hands on it together and said in unison, "Authorize!" ”

Julian: "Authorization confirmed. Immediately let the Praetorian Guard troops go out to round up Wang Chao and his party, who may have kidnapped Professor Nia. ”

The deputy speaker said worriedly: "If the Praetorian Guards can't stop them, there will be no troops here who can stop them." ”

Gaius: "Then evacuate the space station and let the AI handle it." ”

Deputy Speaker: "You two brothers, one is an AI faction and the other is an anti-AI faction, but you can still cooperate like this." ”

Gaius just smiled.

Wang Chao's side, five minutes ago.

Nimeth opened the door to Nia's room.

Gale was the first to break in.

Nia looked at them with a shocked expression: "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Chao: "You didn't hear the sound of the battle?" ”

"Huh? What fight? ”

Wang Chao suddenly frowned: "Wait a minute, we hear the sound of battle, but the people in the city shouldn't be able to hear the sound of battle, why don't we have anyone along the way?" ”

The others looked at each other.

Nia: "What are you talking about?" Fight? ”

Wang Chao: "Gale wind, rush into the room next to you to see the situation!" ”

The gale immediately burst out of the door, rushed to the next room, and slashed the door in half.

The people inside looked at her in horror as she rushed in.

Wang Chao: "Why don't they go out?" ”

Gale: "Why don't you go out?" ”

A man and a woman in the room glanced at each other, and the man said timidly, "It's not time to go out yet?" ”

Gale: "Then I'll give you a reason to go out!" ”

She slashed the man's hand with a single blow, causing the synth's white blood to spurt out.

Gale: "This is a synth!" I'll try another one! ”

"Don't!" As soon as Wang Chao was about to stop it, Gale Le made a move.

So the woman was left with half a stretch, and a large amount of white blood spurted out of the broken body.

"This one too!"
