Chapter 758 Human Ethnicity

"This is a bit outrageous. How many zeros are there? Will they give in to this? Isn't this just like using a Ming Dynasty sword to kill a Qing Dynasty official?"

Wang Ming looked at the artificial intelligence in front of him. He flipped through the data on the holographic projection screen. Those were the loans owed by the dwarf ancestors to the federation. These loans had reached an extremely outrageous number. He wondered if the dwarves could recognize them.

"Captain Wang Ming, you need to confirm this yourself. I will also help you complete the negotiations. As for the human species, my underlying program is very important. I don't want anyone to shed blood or sacrifice for things that can be resolved peacefully."

The artificial intelligence looked at Wang Ming, nodded to him, and then said that she did not want the fleet to conflict with the dwarves. Her loyalty to the human species made her unwilling to see any human bloodshed and sacrifice.

"I hope so. We hope so too. However, in the most extreme case, we don't mind using force to make them return to human civilization."

Wang Ming nodded to the artificial intelligence, then picked up the Eternal Life beside him, put on his customized power armor, and put on the cloak that made him feel a little awkward. After all, in this kind of occasion, he still had to give the dwarves some face, and there would be no need to fight if it could be resolved peacefully.

All the people in the 21st Legion were ready. As the huge star fortress slowly approached the dwarfs' warships, the dwarfs' warships also stayed where they were and did not launch any attacks. After all, any discerning person could see that their fleet was just a group of small Karamis in front of the Imperial Fleet. Instead of trying to stop them, why not see what those humans were trying to do?

After all, those humans have not shown any intention of attacking yet. Although they blew up the world where they once mined, they also knew what existed on that world. Humans destroyed that world not for them. They even suspected that humans had given them time to evacuate. After all, after these humans arrived in this galaxy, in addition to blocking the entire galaxy, they did not use their ridiculously fast engines to immediately come to that world and communicate with them. These humans definitely have plans for them.

As a civilization that understands calculations, the dwarves also want to avoid unnecessary conflicts. So when human ships approached them, they took the initiative to open the connection ports of their own ships. After all, they have no choice but to take the initiative now. The weapons on that huge and outrageous star fortress are already aimed at their ships. As a human civilization with a large number of records of the golden age of mankind, they actually know how powerful those ships are. After all, many of their technologies are derived from this.

After the ships of both sides were connected, the dwarf messengers also walked into the human ship through the connection port, and when they just entered the human ship, they saw a group of neatly arranged Astartes and a large number of mortal auxiliaries fighting in parade formation. They looked at the equipment of those Astartes and those mortal auxiliaries, and for some reason, the more they looked at the equipment of those mortal auxiliaries, the more they felt that these equipment were similar in style to their own.

And their feeling was not wrong. The style of these weapons and equipment was actually exactly the same as theirs. After all, these things were the creations of the Human Federation. Wang Ming now even had the documents that those weapons and equipment had been approved for production by the Human Federation. He stared at the weapons and equipment on the dwarves, and then looked at his mortal auxiliary troops. The design style was simply carved out of the same mold, although the equipment on the mortal auxiliary Jin was more suitable for the height and body shape of normal humans.

"Hello, descendants of the Hephaestus Mining Group, the 21st Legion of the Human Empire welcomes you."

Just as the dwarves were staring at the equipment of the mortal auxiliary troops in fascination, a holographic figure suddenly appeared in front of them. It was a woman wearing the uniform of a major in the Human Federation. She looked at the dwarves in front of her and spoke to them with a smile.

As for the words of the woman in front of them, the dwarves were completely confused. They didn't know what Hephaestus Mining Group was. They were the Hearthborn of the Wotan Alliance, not the descendants of Hephaestus Mining Group. This strange name made them very strange, but the woman in front of them ignored their strange expressions, but turned on a holographic projection screen and showed them the records of Hephaestus Mining Group.

It described in detail how the group went to the center of the galaxy and how it developed in the center of the galaxy. It also showed the various loan records that the group had made to the Federation, and how those loan records were now astronomically huge after adding interest. The dwarves looked at the words on the holographic projection screen in front of them. They could understand the words, but they didn't understand what the words meant. Everything on the words was unfamiliar. They didn't know what the force called Hephaestus Mining Group described was? And what did this thing have to do with them?
"This is your ancestor, the human who once traveled to the center of the galaxy. You and we are of the same race, and you and we share the same ancestors."

Just when the dwarves were feeling confused, Wang Ming walked out from among the time travelers. He looked down at the dwarves with puzzled expressions and said this to them.

As for Wang Ming's words, the dwarves showed a noncommittal attitude. They knew that their ancestors came from the world now called Holy Terra by the Human Empire, but tens of thousands of years have passed, and they now do not think that they have any relationship with their close relatives in the Human Empire. They are fundamentally different from the people of the Empire, and it is impossible for them to join the Empire or identify themselves as human beings again. In their eyes, those humans in the Human Empire are a group of unpredictable, moody lunatics, and they simply cannot fit in together.

"Our ancestors did come from the world you call Holy Terra, but now, we are very far away from you." A dwarf who obviously had a certain status among the dwarves looked up at Wang Ming. With his wisdom, how could he not figure out what these humans wanted to do? There was definitely a reason why the Alliance and the Empire had little contact. In fact, they did not want the Empire to know their identities. If the Empire knew their true identities, a huge war of conquest would inevitably occur. According to the current level of insanity of the Human Empire, they would never tolerate the existence of a huge human force independent of the Human Empire. However, the dwarves did not regard themselves as humans.

However, since the human in front of them has now made this matter clear, the Hearthborn will express their thoughts on humans in a tough attitude. They now understand the purpose of the so-called 21st Legion. These guys want them to return to human civilization, but this is absolutely impossible, not at all. They believe that they and humans are two completely different species. They cannot accept the human empire's devilish beliefs, and the human empire will never accept their worship of the ancestral core.

After all, according to the standards of the Human Empire, their ancestral core is a complete heresy. They call these powerful artificial intelligences abomination intelligence. Artificial intelligence is completely banned in the Human Empire, and it is absolutely impossible for them to have any connection with the Human Empire.

"I know what you are thinking. I understand your attitude towards the human empire. You worship your ancestral core, which is the artificial intelligence that helped your galactic center survive. But do you know that this holographic projection woman is also an artificial intelligence, and a very confidential military artificial intelligence."

Wang Ming looked at the dwarves and listened to their words. He knew what the dwarves were thinking. The Wotan Alliance worshipped the Ancestral Core, which were the artificial intelligences used for colonization. These artificial intelligences might be too far away from the Human Federation in the Milky Way, so they were not affected by the turmoil of the Iron Man Rebellion. They still completed the tasks assigned to them by their designers, allowing these humans to take root in the center of the Milky Way and collect those rare minerals in the center of the Milky Way.

It's just that the designers of those artificial intelligences don't know that these super artificial intelligences they designed have now become a kind of spiritual totem and traditional existence, and these artificial intelligences are now showing errors. After all, their users did not expect that they would be used for such a long time, and in fact, those things are not so much artificial intelligence as some kind of large storage devices, which store all the scientific and technological technologies needed for deep space colonization, and even a large number of STC templates.

In fact, these ancestral cores, which Wang Ming called super artificial intelligence, were not super artificial intelligence at the beginning. They were just huge storage devices and some ordinary artificial intelligence that provided necessary suggestions. However, after countless generations of accumulation by the dwarves, when the memories and thoughts of countless generations of dwarves were uploaded to those sophisticated storage devices, these former storage devices and the artificial intelligence that provided some necessary suggestions also became strange existences with some emotional reactions.

Wang Ming had discussed issues related to the ancestor core with artificial intelligence before. The answer given by artificial intelligence was that ordinary artificial intelligence was relatively backward products. They started in the early and middle stages of the establishment of the Federation. Their intelligence level was not as powerful as their military artificial intelligence and the subsequent development of civilian artificial intelligence. Moreover, the designers of these artificial intelligences did not consider that they would be used continuously for such a long time.

To put it simply, the memory of those artificial intelligences is insufficient. After tens of thousands of years of use, their internal computing memory has been overwhelmed. Moreover, these artificial intelligences require regular adjustments and maintenance, and even require software upgrades to a certain extent. Obviously, those humans who call themselves dwarves have not done this very well. However, even if they have done this well, the storage devices and artificial intelligence hardware are actually very overwhelmed because they have been running for too long.

Moreover, those humans who called themselves dwarves constantly uploaded their thoughts and memories into those devices, making those devices even more overwhelmed.

Wang Ming agreed with the analysis of artificial intelligence, and artificial intelligence also kindly showed Wang Ming various information in the equipment of those mining groups. According to some information Wang Ming had obtained before, a large number of technologies were actually authorized for production by the Human Federation. Technology is a very expensive thing in the Human Federation. In that era of belief in technology and truth, scientists were like gods, and the creations of the gods around them, those technologies were also very expensive.

After the dwarves heard Wang Ming's words, they were surprised at how Wang Ming knew about the ancestral core. Then they looked at the artificial intelligence holographic projection that looked like a girl. The artificial intelligence holographic projection smiled at the dwarves, nodded, and revealed its identity.

The dwarves also have their own thoughts about this thing that humans call artificial intelligence. In their opinion, the Ancestral Core has some similarities with this so-called artificial intelligence, but they are still very skeptical about Wang Ming's statement, and they are also very puzzled why Wang Ming knows the Ancestral Core. The Hearthborn will never discuss the Ancestral Core with outsiders.

"How do you know the ancestral core!?"

The dwarves did not beat around the bush with Wang Ming. After digesting what Wang Ming had just said to them, they immediately asked this question. It is absolutely impossible for the Hearthborn to tell outsiders about the core of their ancestors. So how did the human in front of them know about it?

"Don't you understand yet?"

Wang Ming stared at the dwarves. He reluctantly opened a holographic projection panel. What was displayed on the holographic projection panel was the artificial intelligence and data storage equipment of a human federal enterprise. Although the ancestral core of the dwarves was different from this thing to a certain extent, the appearance of some of their equipment had not changed much.
