Chapter 318 Hope of Cooperation
"There seems to be something outside. I'll go take a look. You can stay in the car safely."

Discovering that there was a mysterious object calling him outside the research vehicle, Wang Zhifan quickly made a decision to go and check it out alone.

Several scientists in the car felt a little strange when he suddenly said this, because they could not detect the sphere hovering in the darkness above the roof of the car. However, given that Wang Zhifan led them out of the encirclement and solved many problems along the way, , did not raise any questions.

A few seconds later, Wang Zhifan opened the car door and walked into the darkness not too far to the side. Just as he expected, he found that the mysterious ball the size of a football ran towards him as soon as he came out. It was obvious that the other party was coming to find him.

"You ran away from the monster before, right? How dare you come to me? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you with a knife?"

When the mysterious sphere stopped in front of Wang Zhifan, he opened his mouth to ask it, even though he highly doubted whether this guy could speak human language.

"Zizzizi~"

Sure enough, the mysterious sphere suspended in mid-air responded to him with only meaningless subtle noises, which made him feel speechless. It was foreseeable that this exchange would end in failure.

But just when he was about to return to the car to discuss with the scientists how to solve this communication barrier, the situation suddenly changed. The disorderly noise emitted by the mysterious sphere actually produced an understandable part.

"Organism... thanks... for saving me..."

Unexpectedly, the mysterious sphere immediately rejected his words.

"Okay...I'll just believe what you said."

Wang Zhifan felt that he could hear a sense of regret in the voice of this sphere that claimed to be artificial intelligence, which made him secretly lament that this guy learned too quickly and did not behave like a pure mechanical life.

"Haha... I suspect that You is not an artificial intelligence, but an electronic data life that the creator race you mentioned transformed itself into. Am I right in my guess?"

"I'm sorry... humans... I have only just begun to decipher your language... I will continue to correct data errors in subsequent exchanges..."

Wang Zhifan was noncommittal after hearing this. It would be nice to hear many things, but whether it is true or false cannot be decided in a short while.

"No, my creator did not have time to master the life uploading technology you mentioned."

"They did have plans for this, and created artificial intelligence like me for this purpose, but the arrival of powerful enemies interrupted everything, and they failed to win the war..."

The football-sized sphere suspended in mid-air then climbed to a higher position, and then made a sound to Wang Zhifan below:

Wang Zhifan stared at this mysterious sphere with great interest, secretly inferring his origins with the humans who came to visit this planet.

If he had any doubts, Wang Zhifan said it directly to his face. Anyway, he was confident that he could handle this little thing casually without worrying about falling out with it.

"Human, according to my current inference, I should belong to what you call artificial intelligence."

These sounds were not clear, and the electronically synthesized intonations were even weirder, but Wang Zhifan, who had excellent hearing, quickly understood them, which surprised him.

"Who are you? Are you an intelligent life on this planet? Or are you artificial intelligence?"

The mysterious sphere suspended in mid-air responded after a brief pause, and this time it improved a lot in terms of accuracy of pronunciation and coherence of expression.

The Mysterious Sphere answered immediately, appearing very candid.

"My creator was born on the planet under your feet, but according to what I have observed so far, they have become extinct long ago, and even the civilization that exterminated them has also become extinct long ago. This place is full of strange civilization remnants..."

"There is obviously a problem with your statement, that is, the powerful enemy you mentioned destroyed your creator. Why didn't they destroy you by the way? I even feel that you have not been harmed and you still remain intact."

The other party's answer made Wang Zhifan more and more interested. If others encountered this kind of existence, they might be a little nervous and scared, but Wang Zhifan was confident that he was strong enough, and he also sensed that this thing had no malicious intent at present.

"Organism? This is the first time I have heard this name... But since you understand our language, you should know that it is more accurate to call us humans."

There is a bit of sadness in the mysterious sphere's words, and its mastery of human language can now be said to be extremely proficient.

This is why Wang Zhifan feels that the other party is a bit nonsense. How can a ball that is not too strong to the naked eye survive a catastrophe that even its creator cannot withstand? Is it possible that hostile civilizations are open to artificial intelligence?
However, the mysterious sphere did not agree with this so-called loophole at all, and immediately responded:

"Humans, the enemy did not let me go, but they were unable to crack the destruction field, and they did not know that I was deliberately hidden in the destruction field by the creators, so they allowed me to stay in the destruction field for two hundred and thirty-eight thousand nine hundred years. Seventy-one home planet years until you rescue me from it."

"Destruction Field? Is it that strange thing that wraps you inside your body? Its name is indeed somewhat appropriate."

When Wang Zhifan heard it talking about it, he remembered the dangerous floating ellipsoid that he found difficult to understand. The opponent was neither a life nor a solid, liquid, or gas form, and any damage to it would have no obvious effect. If it hadn't been for him With an epic immunity weapon like the Blade of Time, he might not be able to do anything about it.

"Yes, human being, the destruction field is a special product obtained by my creator from the relics of other civilizations. They also know very little about it. They decided to use it to preserve me until destruction was imminent, in order to preserve the hope of civilization's resurrection. ”

The mysterious sphere briefly explained the situation, emphasizing that its appearance in that weird thing was intentional and profound.

"Your creator used that kind of thing to preserve you? Since they have such high-end technology, why don't they preserve themselves? This doesn't make sense!"

Wang Zhifan keenly discovered the flaws in this guy's language, which showed that he didn't really believe what the other person said until now, but the mysterious sphere didn't seem to care.

"Humans, the destruction field cannot be used to preserve organisms, and it is not even suitable for preserving other substances. I used to have a larger supporting body than the Creator's flagship, but in order to hide in the destruction field, I was reduced to what I am now. Such a simple appearance... In short, I am very grateful to you for rescuing you, and I hope that I can cooperate with your civilization to complete my mission of resurrecting the creator race." At this time, the mysterious sphere has its final intention. He said it directly without any hesitation about the possible consequences.

"Let me help you resurrect your creator race? Tsk tsk... How dare you think..."

Wang Zhifan was speechless when he heard this. He felt that humans in this world would not be so kind, and he himself obviously did not have this ability.

"Humanity, this is a collaboration that benefits both of us."

Unexpectedly, the sound made by the mysterious sphere gives people a feeling of confidence.

"I tested the vehicle you just rode in. Although I can't fully understand the technology contained in it, I can infer that there is a big gap between your civilization development level and my creator race. I have a lot of useful technologies that I can give you. , as long as your civilization promises me to help resurrect my creator race, even if it only resurrects one or two creator individuals, my mission will be considered completed... In addition, I can give you the technology needed to resurrect the race unconditionally. It should be able to Apply to yourselves.”

The mysterious sphere made it clear. It came to Wang Zhifan just to get help from him to complete its mission. Otherwise, it would be fanciful to rely on the sphere it is now to achieve anything.

"This... I must say that your proposal is very tempting... at least to my companions..."

Wang Zhifan couldn't help but nodded after hearing this, feeling that this self-proclaimed alien artificial intelligence found the right person.

As far as Wang Zhifan himself is concerned, he actually doesn't care about the cooperation proposed by this guy, because he doesn't seem to be able to gain much benefit from it. After all, he is not a scientist. It is impossible to say that he will devote himself to studying science and technology here and return to reality to serve the country. He doesn't have the patience and basically doesn't have the ability.

But he is not the kind of person who is willing to help only if he wants benefits. Sometimes, he just helps with some convenient things. He doesn't care much about it. Even if he is a meddling spectator, it is fine.

"Okay, I can take you to ask them...but what should we call you?"

After activating his senses again and judging that the ball had no deterrent effect other than controlling gravity and flying around, Wang Zhifan took decisive action and directly introduced this guy to several people in the nearby inspection vehicle, that is, he took it to the inspection vehicle. middle.

In fact, it seemed more convenient to call the scientists out and the space would be more open. However, he considered that there might be threats from gunmen players outside, so he rejected this plan and chose to have everyone meet in a bulletproof and explosion-proof inspection vehicle.

"My creators didn't have time to give me a name...Can I ask you to help solve this problem?"

The mysterious sphere actually threw the question back to Wang Zhifan at this stage.

Wang Zhifan's eyes were slightly surprised, but he quickly replied:
"Since you said your mission is to resurrect the creator race, then I will name you Hope, Alien Artificial Intelligence: Hope."

"Thank you, human. From now on, my name will be Hope."

The mysterious sphere seemed satisfied with the name Wang Zhifan chose casually.

"Don't call me human anymore. My surname is Wang. You can call me Captain Wang."

At the last moment before entering the inspection vehicle, Wang Zhifan replied to it.

So what happened next was more dramatic. When Jessica and other scientists who were waiting patiently in the research vehicle suddenly discovered that Wang Zhifan had brought back a ball suspended in the air, which was also a ball that claimed to be able to communicate with alien artificial intelligence. This suddenly made people wonder. They were so excited that they started talking to this alien being who claimed to be a hope, and asked him many professional questions, which made it difficult for the introducer Wang Zhifan to get in touch.

Under the influence of Wang Zhifan, the communication atmosphere between the two parties was relatively harmonious until a huge existence appeared above their heads, projecting light like daylight on the research vehicle, and the optical hub spacecraft, which had been out of contact for some time, arrived. .

Considering that the surface of this planet is already very dangerous, the Guangshu quickly deployed a mechanical arm to vertically lift the expedition vehicle that had a flat tire and put it into the cabin. At this point, the safety of all the expedition team members is no longer a problem. After all, the surface of this planet is The existence is not yet capable of destroying a huge reconnaissance ship, especially since the spacecraft returned to space to temporarily avoid the threat.

"Everyone, according to the relevant regulations of the empire, we need to put this unknown sphere into a safe. This is a measure that must be taken for everyone's safety."

Not long after the expedition team returned to the Guangshu, the staff in the Guangshu cabin became extremely concerned about the hope of alien artificial intelligence and wanted to strictly confine this existence of unknown origin.

"You can't do this! Hope is our friend, not our enemy, and it shouldn't be treated like this!"

The scientists represented by Jessica were immediately unhappy. Although they had not been together with artificial intelligence for a long time, their rich scientific knowledge and friendly communication attitude made them value it very much. It can be said that any scientist who pursues hope will give up hope. Be a treasure and don't want to be an enemy.

"Captain Wang, please persuade them quickly! It is your duty to eliminate any unsafe factors!"

When the staff saw that these dominant scientists were becoming stubborn, they looked at Wang Zhifan next to them, hoping that he, the exclusive security captain, could solve the problem.

However, Wang Zhifan chose to side with Hope without much hesitation. He believed in his own judgment and believed that even if there was a problem, he could solve it. He immediately said with assurance:

"Don't worry, I hope it won't harm us. I will monitor it closely. If something goes wrong, I will be responsible."

The security captain himself said this, and the staff of the Guangshu had no choice but to give up hope of being taken into custody. However, in order to be safe, they proposed that they would not be able to enter most areas of the spacecraft and that they would be under supervision at all times. Wang Zhifan said This was not a problem, and the storm was settled.

After that, the expedition team rested on the Guangshu, but the enthusiasm of the scientists for communicating with alien artificial intelligence did not diminish at all. After eating, drinking and washing, they came to Wang Zhifan to discuss scientific theories with it, and soon became the captain. Jessica proposed that the Guangshu return to the mothership as soon as possible.

"Captain Wang, the alien existence you found is of great significance to us humans. It will be a key step in the development of human science and technology. The harvest of this expedition has far exceeded our expectations. We must return to our motherland as soon as possible. Ship, let it really work..."

Jessica's reaction surprised Wang Zhifan. He did not expect that the inspection, which was supposed to last for a month, was going to end, and that it would have a greater impact later.
