The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 690 Hunting the Shadow Broker (2)

Ada simply felt that Xie Yuan had lost his mind. Isn't it worthy of vigilance that the subordinates of the mechanical life under his command hooked up with the Geth in a blink of an eye?
Especially when they saw the strange body that was soft like flesh and blood tissue, but actually made of flexible materials and solid metal materials, plus eyes that looked like a flashlight began to shuttle around them...

Ada almost tensed all the muscles in her heart - it would be a lie to say that she was not nervous, this is a murderous geth!
But fortunately, the only thing that kept her from trying to stay calm and showing a strange look on her face was that these geth creatures walked by them, turning a blind eye to them.

Yes, it seemed like they knew that there were two strangers and a giant construct here, but just passed by with a glance, just like seeing an acquaintance or a stationary creature.

But looking at Xie Yuan's performance - he only cares about where his original ship went? !

Is now the time to think about it? !

Of course, UR-025's reaction was also strange—it seemed to be very clear about Xie Yuan's delicacy, why should he respect Xie Yuan so much?
But Ada just put these questions in her heart first, because now she can't ask them openly-this may affect the relationship between this iron man and Xie Yuan.

She can feel that Xie Yuan is indifferent to Iron Man and Geth, but this is not ignorance and fearlessness, but fearlessness - and the respect and courtesy of the huge UR-025 to him also proves a little……

Such a big and powerful iron man is a little afraid of Xie Yuan... How strong should he be?
But now Ada has decided to just be a loyal follower, and listening to the conversation between them... It's like listening to a fantasy story.

……

"It's like this. My body size is still a bit too tall for the size of Betty, and I can't fit it in. After thinking about it, I still need to find a bigger boat, because ordinary boats are actually similar to Betty's—a big boat probably They all belong to a certain faction with a name and surname, and I just want to grab a geth ship."

UR-025 recounted to Xie Yuan carelessly.

"But although this area is desolate...but it's impossible for there to be a Geth ship?!" Xie Yuan felt very strange, "If there were any, the people of the Omega galaxy would have already started to make trouble."

"Well... One thing, boss, you may have heard of it, but you just haven't thought of it for the time being... Mechanical lifeforms can actually communicate with each other invisibly..."

Cyclops of UR-025 blinked: "For example, when I was browsing new information on the Omega World Wide Web, I found many browsing traces of intelligent life... and most of them basically came from Jie s."

"You said that intelligent life has always existed on the World Wide Web?!" Ada's face suddenly changed when he heard it, "Doesn't this mean that there are many synthetic life forms observing us?"

"Actually, Miss Ada, you should think of a possibility... As long as this cosmic society has a network, and the network becomes more developed, it will become like a home and a shelter for us intelligent beings."

UR-025 talked eloquently: "It has a history of at least 1 years since the Asari stepped onto the stage of the Citadel, and has accepted more than a dozen civilizations that can conduct interstellar races, including humans.

Every civilization makes assumptions, and every 100 years initiates a research on intelligent technology, assuming that 99% of the intelligent research over the years has finally been abolished and closed-but as long as 1% is left, then they will be It may become a real intelligent life-not to mention some fools deliberately upload their brains into cyberspace... Think about it, is there really no one in cyberspace? "

Ada was a little speechless about this... She really didn't expect that there was such a secret in the Internet.

Then she looked at UR-025 again: "Then since they exist...why don't they make trouble? Why don't we notice anything?"

"Miss Ada, these intelligent life forms are old-timers. They won't be stupid like newborn intelligent life forms, and they must seek a kind of self or something."

UR-025 squinted at Ada: "They have achieved perfect consciousness, and have no actual physical needs for resources and land, detached from things.

They only need to circulate in the depths of the network and data processors, and then the organic society can live without any awareness—until the end of the universe. "

But Xie Yuan immediately asked: "However, judging from the fact that you manipulated the Geth's boat to come over, I'm afraid your contact with these old fritters has failed, right?"

Cyclops of UR-025 is generally a little darker visible to the naked eye: "Yes, they can have a word or two with me, but they never get in touch with me in depth - in their eyes, I am not only a junior, but also a Intelligent life made by aliens, humans... look down on me."

Ada's complexion became very strange: Co-authoring regional discrimination and racial discrimination not only spread in the organic civilization of the universe, but even in mechanical life.

"Can't fight back?" Xie Yuan also felt weird.

But UR-025's Cyclops is even more gloomy: "Their body data flow in the network is as big as a planetary body... and it is hidden in the universe, not only hard to find... even if they match... I am not an opponent.

Perhaps the reason they were really alarmed was because I appeared suddenly, and my intelligence level was not low, so let’s take a look out of curiosity—but that’s all. "

"So..." Xie Yuan actually didn't want to bother with the old intelligent life—ignoring us and ignoring us, so he stomped the ground with his foot, looked at UR-025 and teased, "Where is the Geth?" ?”

"Ah! That's right," UR-025 resumed Cyclops' light and explained, "We found out that there are also geth who also observe organic creatures in the universe, so we had a conversation with them.

Geths actually respect the old and love the young - but this may be because they only have a collective gestalt consciousness and do not allow individuals to have individual independent consciousness - in this case they urgently need this evolutionary method, but as What I said, the intelligent beings who are too old don't really like talking to us younger generations, and I'm the only one who wants to talk to them.

So I told them that I planned to borrow a ship from them to go to a certain place, and the price was that they would send the ship over after contributing some mechanical life evolution data. "

"Okay, you!" Xie Yuan stretched out a thumb, "Why do I feel like you not only pulled the boat over, but also fooled these Geths, you have made progress!"

"Hey! You can't say that." UR-025's Cyclops lights up again, "How can this be called cheating? I'm giving them a chance to be educated by their seniors—if I didn't want to change A big ship, I won’t give you ordinary mechanical life!”

"Speaking of which," Ada looked around cautiously, "If you talk like this, will these Geths be angry and trouble us if they hear it?"

"Huh?" UR-025 looked at Xie Yuan, "Didn't you tell her?"

"What are you talking about?" Ada also looked at Xie Yuan.

"Who said you didn't tell?" Xie Yuan looked at Ada, "Do you still remember who I brought here?"

"Remember! UR-025 and the cabinet..." Ada was silent for a while, then stared at Iron Man with wide eyes, "Yes, where is the cabinet?"

"Hi! Hi! This is Stella!" To Ida's surprise, a light figure with a red light on the head and a black-gray lacquered body walked in silently, and waved to several people. , which is a geth hunter.

But at this moment the geth hunter let out a teenage human voice, "The reason they won't notice what we say is because I have all their physical forms under control, and all the geth entities here... it's all me!"

Said, the next moment, all the Geth entities passing by them waved at them, almost scared Ida back a step, but fortunately Xie Yuan was stroking her back to keep her from losing her composure.

Xie Yuan looked at one of the "Stella": "It is said that an independent geth, the level of thinking is only comparable to animal intuition; but if they form a group, they can think rationally, analyze the situation, and act like organic life Make tactical decisions.

There are at least hundreds of geth platforms here, how do you concentrate the geth in each platform into one of their processors? "

You know, in reality, each of these traveling geths is composed of hundreds of VI-like geth programs, and these programs coordinate and cooperate to form a kind of integrated intelligence, like "a thousand voices speaking at the same time".

The body of the geth is therefore only a "moving platform": the geth programs that constitute the mind consensus can be uploaded and downloaded at any time, and the "moving platform" can be manipulated, if necessary, in the same way as a spaceship.Most of the time, geth programs are stored on servers, and these servers are like organic cities, which can run millions of geth programs at the same time.

So Xie Yuan was very curious, what method Stella used to be so powerful that she could expel all the Geths back to the processor, and then took control of the main body of the ship - the key is the ability of the former.

But it was UR-025 who gave the answer: "I helped. During the Iron Man Rebellion, the machine life was divided into loyal faction and independent faction. The battle between the two sides was extremely fierce-almost all available means were used.

Among these mechanical life forms, there are also Geth-like development tendencies, so how to deal with them is not without means-I uploaded a fragment of an evolution protocol, which can attract all Geths to run to the processor to understand these advanced knowledge , and then blocked the access of these geth back to the ship - so the platforms and even the entire armed transport ship are now empty shells. "

"So if you want to take something, you must first give it?" Ada concluded.

"Yes! It's not that the Geth have no desires, but this desire cannot be bestowed on them by organisms—but fortunately, I happen to be one that can satisfy them."

UR-025's tone was a little proud: "And I also found a flaw in the geth for you, boss—that is, their society is in a state of fragmentation."

"Are there any Geths who don't want to cooperate with the Reapers?" Xie Yuan's face flashed a hint of surprise.

"Wrong! Most Geths don't want to cooperate with what they call the ancient mechanical race, which is what you call the Reapers,"

UR-025 corrected: "The geth that has rushed out of the Perseus Veil galaxy, including all the geth on the ship under our feet, is the part that succumbs to the Reaper.

But this part of geth is actually only a minority. They are called heretics by other mainstream geths. Heretic geths regard the overlord as a god, as the top of the evolution of a mechanical body. "

"That is to say, the heretic Geth regards the overlord as their Omnissian." Xie Yuan summed up the information after hearing this information, and then said with a smile, "It's a pity that the Omnissian they talked about died in God's hands like this." Fort."

"Omnissian?" Ada heard another unfamiliar word.

But it was quickly answered by Xie Yuan's eyes: I will tell you later.

"And it sounds like this Omnissian doesn't take his followers very seriously—he sees these heresies as something to throw away."

UR-025 said in a low tone, and then revealed a more important message: "They went to a large space station in the Terminus galaxy to lurk, and they are making a virus given to them by the overlord, a virus that can change the thinking of the entire geth Virus.

With it, the real Geths will all be transformed into heresies, and at the same time, the mainstream Geths are sending out a Geth envoy with 1183 programs of their own—while he is chasing the traces of Shepard, he Looking for ways to destroy viruses. "

"My God!" Xie Yuan couldn't help covering his head, "I was shocked when I heard that humans and aliens have Shepard's fans, but I didn't expect that there are also her admirers in the mechanical life race! "

Ada also looked shocked—she saw for the first time that a human being had an act that attracted so many alien races to him, and even aroused the thought of worship—could it be that Shepard was really like her name? God's shepherd is not good? !
However, Xie Yuan, who was shocked for a while, quickly calmed down, and immediately put his mind on the business: "Then after you drive all the Geths on this ship back to their hometowns, will they still take them back?"

"Well... Unless we use physical means to encircle a large area, returning in the sense of the Internet is already impossible."

Stella, one of the Geth infantry, replied confidently: "After we tricked them all back to the server, we immediately modified the underlying data and the final link agreement of the ship. This ship is completely ours."

"Yeah!" Xie Yuan nodded in satisfaction, and then gave instructions to the iron man, "Then remember these two pieces of information, and try to contact people from the mainstream faction of geth—ask them if they want to join a certain The Andromeda Expedition in a sense."

"Well... Received, I will try to contact them after this mission is over." UR-025 nodded after receiving the instruction, "Speaking of which, this can be regarded as the first non-human created machine I have come into contact with. As for the life race, as expected, there will be new gains in the new universe—and this is the life I yearn for.”

"Stella! How long is it until the destination?" After ordering UR-025, Xie Yuan looked directly at one of the "Stella" geth.

"After half an hour of distance, we will reach the target system." The geth reported honestly.

"Very good! There are still two hours before the important speech at the celebration of recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan, and there are still five hours before the end of the celebration. If you can't find your destination..."

Xie Yuan took a deep breath before saying, "Then I will do everything possible to kill Shadow Broker!"

"If you don't do it, it's enough. Once you do it to the end." Ada couldn't hide the tension and excitement in her heart. "Anyway, let's wish this operation a complete success."

"Then!" Xie Yuan gave an order to Stella, "Arrange to move over! Success or failure depends on it."

"Yes!" Stella also responded firmly.
