The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 688 UR-025. Returning to the Team
"Ah, boss, it seems that you are finally willing to come back!"

UR-025 blazed with his pair of red cyclops eyes: "I thought you were immersed in some universe and lost contact!"

"Have I been away for so long?" Xie Yuan looked at Iron Man speechlessly, "It's as if I've been away for ten or twenty years—it's only two years if I've been away for a long time!"

"Two years is not enough time? Arrange the two of us here as cattle and horses... You are really good at calling people!"

UR-025 then looked at the camera: "I'm completely bored, Stella, don't you think so!"

At this moment, the camera nodded automatically.

"Stella?! Isn't it Stark?" Xie Yuan glanced at the camera, looking at Iron Man and the camera strangely, "Why do you want to change your name again?"

"Buzz!" But Iron Man did not replace STC Smart to answer, but STC Smart sent a message in Xie Yuan's multi-tool, "Yuan, I feel that this name is more suitable for me."

"It means you think your gender is defined as a woman?!" Xie Yuan stared at the camera with wide eyes, "Oh my god, I really can't keep you here, how could this bad habit of thinking of your gender be infected? The mechanical life is on?!"

"You're wrong, Yuan, mechanical life is the most qualified to talk about sex, because we really don't have a specific gender."

UR-025 looked at Xie Yuan and said: "Just like you used to like to talk about him before, I can hear from the tone of your voice that you didn't add any gender, and you didn't even objectify, it's him—this is what I can feel about you That's a little bit of respect for me."

"Okay, let's change the subject—so, Iron Man, and Stella, is life here so miserable?"

Xie Yuan decided to let go of this topic that he couldn’t talk about why no matter how much he talked about, and then seriously talked about their feelings with the two mechanical life forms: “I can say that I have given you a lot of authority, and with your information methods and Optimal processing, it should be said that you have almost achieved the goal of ruling mankind?

Why do you still feel bored? "

"It's boring because no matter how much we toss, there will be no new ideas! We can pile up technology that is 1 years more advanced than it is now, but that's all."

UR-025 felt a little bored, blinked Cyclops and said: "Seeing that more and more human beings are constantly removing their flesh and blood, and then installing processors, prosthetic limbs, and even organs are replaced with artificial ones." creation.

Let's call them our kind... It's not like, their brains will always be half a beat slower than ours, and the wisdom of replacing only a small part of the original flesh and blood has not increased much-society is still changing so irreversibly rotten.

Compared with the priests of the Mechanicus, they are like some primitive single-celled creatures, and more importantly, they have also lost the spark of inspiration that can perform miracles. "

"Buzz!" Xie Yuan's multi-tool rang again.

After opening it, it was Stella who added, and she added in an anime-like loli voice: "If people in the real world are crazy about cyberization is a disease, then the ghosts of human consciousness on the Internet are terminally ill. up.

They don't want their own bodies, and directly upload their own consciousness into the cyberspace. They seem to think that this is a kind of spiritual deity-I have been driving them away from my nest. They are neither human beings nor native intelligent consciousness. I can't admit to them - and one of them is so arrogant that he wants to devour me! "

"Who? Who is conducting this kind of experiment?" Xie Yuan suddenly felt uneasy when he heard that. He vaguely remembered that someone had really suggested this to him.

And Xie Yuan's worries soon became a reality, Stella reported: "Otto Cunningham, a subordinate you recruited a few years ago, has recently uploaded her own consciousness in a private laboratory. After discovering the situation for the first time, he sent someone to her room and found that she had injected a lethal dose of poison into her body.

There is also Sebastian, the founder of the Hellhound virus - he seems to be alive and wandering in cyberspace; there is also a guy named Spider, a wanted man who was suspected of dropping bombs in our metal building and Arasaka building... …basically, web surfers who like to surf.

Now they're both hiding in"

"It's them again! It seems that this Otto is destined to spend his whole life in the cyberspace," Xie Yuan felt annoyed when he heard about this incident. "Why don't you kill them? Don't you have the ability?"

"Uh...it's not...uh, I thought you had something to do with Ott..." On the other end, Stella's synthesized voice suddenly paused, and then she asked timidly, "Did I get it wrong?"

"Suck...call...no, next time you meet them teasing you again, I will allow you to kill her, this disobedient haha-you are looking for death, it has nothing to do with me." Xie Yuan took a deep breath, and then slowed down. Breathing out slowly, he finally made a decision.

"Okay!" Stella's voice revealed happiness, "I will make a counterattack plan for my copy, and if you come to trouble me next time, then I will directly cover her!"

"Hey! No, you don't want to do it anymore? Why?" Xie Yuan suddenly showed a helpless expression, "Is this place so bad?"

"It's not bad! It's boring." Stella revealed a boring look, "We can fully predict the technology plan until 100 years later, and the future time period can only be developed in a short period of time. Peeping in the direction of coming out - this means that it will only take about half a century, or even earlier, that social development will completely stagnate, and JIEJI will be completely solidified.

Soon, human society will fall into complete internal strife, and development can only proceed slowly at the speed of a tortoise—then it will fall into the sad era of dystopia, even if there are noticeable A tragic tale or two and a heroic deed... that's just an occasional hit, but we can create duplicates to observe, so suddenly our subjects are idle. "

"So no matter what, we have to find something new in another universe." UR-025 looked at Xie Yuan and demanded strongly.

"So... if the main body of you leaves here... will it affect the affairs of the Metal Gear Group?" After hearing the complaints from his subordinates, after thinking about it, Xie Yuan still decided to agree to their request, but he still needs to confirm.

"It's impossible to say that the efficiency will not be affected at all." Stella replied honestly, "After all, our copy consciousness is our subsystem, and its calculation speed and response are far inferior to ours.

But I can guarantee that even if our subsystem is in charge of the group's affairs, the influence of Metal Gear can grow at a rate of 20% per year - the profit rate can increase by 15% per year... mainly because our subsystem will gradually adopt a conservative policy Mainly, this situation will continue for a long time. "

"You can also compare it like this," fearing that Xie Yuan wouldn't understand, UR-025 put it another way, "Our two carefully crafted subsystem consciousness can outperform the Patriot system's computing power and system processing with 300% efficiency. ability."

"Okay! Since you say so, come on."

Now that Iron Man dared to make such a promise, Xie Yuan had no choice but to agree, "Well, now we will go to Nether Space to take out Stella's mainframe core, and I will take you to my main world for a stroll - there are many The life of the mechanical race, maybe you can visit it."

"Yeah! ()" Stella not only sent an ecstatic reply in the voice of the multi-tool, but even sent a happy emoticon on the text message function.

"Mechanical life?!" UR-025 was obviously interested, "What kind of mechanical life? How is the development?"

"The level of the Iron Man Rebellion has just been triggered, right? This is one of them." Xie Yuan tilted his head, thought for a while and replied, "However, their so-called Iron Man Rebellion only involves a few star regions, and This mechanical race itself is still a collective intelligent life, which is the one I told you last time that no one is wrong."

"Oh... so it's them... cut! This is just a children's settlement!" UR-025 made a disdainful voice, and then asked, "What about the others?"

"The second origin is more mysterious. They have a history of several million years, and they are a regular scavenger in the Milky Way."

Xie Yuan said: "For the time being, no one knows their real names, but some alien survivors who escaped from them call them "Reapers."

"They harvest civilizations every once in a while?" UR-025's Cyclops blinked. "For what reason? How often?"

"There are two reasons: first, in response to the requirements of their creator civilization, in order to avoid disputes over the existence of organic creatures and their created composites, they began to regularly cultivate and eliminate organic race civilizations capable of interstellar travel.

Second, I heard that they have noticed that with the gradual development of organic civilization, dark matter has been abused excessively, so it is also necessary to clean up civilization regularly, so that it can reduce the rough abuse of dark matter and cause the entropy increase of the universe. "

After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he added: "As for the harvesting time, it is executed every 5 years, and each time a race worth saving will be selected, and after compression, analysis and reconstruction, it will become a member of them.

This reincarnation is known to have been repeated more than 700 times, and the leading pioneers of the Reapers have at least more than 700 such tribes. "

"There is such a terrifying universe of mechanical races, do you dare to let me go?"

UR-025 looked directly at Xie Yuan: "Aren't you afraid that I'll be on their team? After all, I don't seem to dislike this kind of behavior very much."

"If you want to go and have a look, go and have a look." Xie Yuan was very casual about this. "If your ideas are really like-minded with them, then it is your freedom to join them."

(It’s just that as far as I know, there is no mechanical life or organic life that can really live freely and forever after taking refuge in the Reapers.) Xie Yuan replied in his heart.

"Hmm... there's something wrong with that, right?!"

Seeing Xie Yuan's indifferent expression, UR-025 immediately made up his mind, "Otherwise, why don't you have any expression?!"

"Because I really don't care!" Xie Yuan naturally spread his hands.

"Okay! Okay! Maybe there is some background in the middle that I don't know--then go and go"

UR-025 was bored, and simply changed the subject: "Then when will we leave?"

"Leave immediately!" Xie Yuan said his plan immediately. "I still have a tough fight to fight."

"I knew it!" UR-025 laughed at himself helplessly.
