Chapter 267 The man behind the scenes (2)

This person's brain nerves have been impacted more than once - to be precise, a large amount of data was forcefully poured into it, causing direct overload of the brain nerves. As for the time of the last nerve shock, it can be speculated that it can be determined around the time when the other party started the civil war.

From that moment on, he was no longer himself. All signs of consciousness were maintained by the nerve data cable at the back of his head. Once the data cable was unplugged, he would naturally become a vegetative state and no longer move.

Lin Yi guessed that this might be caused by a procedural issue. But he didn't believe that such a fatal bug appeared on a standard large-scale combat machine. In other words, there are only two possibilities.

One is that someone hacked into the system of the large combat machinery. While controlling the large combat machinery, they also attacked the driver's brain through neural data lines, turning him into a vegetative state.

The second is a more terrifying possibility - from beginning to end, no external force changed everything about this program, but the program itself completed everything.

Artificial Intelligence, Omnic Crisis. A series of common plots in later science fiction flashed through Lin Yi's mind - in this way, it can well explain why the Ezki Exploration Fleet, which was supposed to be monolithic, suddenly rebelled. His mother Why did the star fall so quickly?

Now it seems that the brains of these Ezki people have indeed been filled with "water", but they were just forced into it by others, most likely the artificial intelligence behind them or something.
"Is there any result?"

"The brain nerves seem to have been impacted more than once. The first time seems to be similar to the time when your battleship started fighting, and the source of the impact seems to be the data line behind the head. If there is no special attack, the biggest Possibly, the impact came directly from the onboard computer equipment."

"Computer?" The other party seemed to have become accustomed to Lin Yi's way of spelling words. "You mean computer equipment? You mean that someone remotely modified the computer equipment programs on the combat machinery and controlled these combat machinery? Then What do they want to do?"

"What if no one controls it, but these device programs do it themselves?"

Another signal slowly came out from the Shadowfly's vocal organ, and the Ezki Common Language with a weird accent seemed to strike the hearts of everyone present. For a moment, there was a strange silence on the site, with only a faint The wind blew the shadow fly's membrane wings, making a faint sound.

Everything that happened here made Lin Yi feel that he needed to further speed up the reverse engineering and build a biological spaceship with the ability to travel across star systems as soon as possible - not to facilitate fighting, but to facilitate escape.
He felt like he couldn't stay in this solar system for a second. The unknown intervenor is ahead, and now the Ezki exploration fleet is likely to introduce the devils into the village. The small solar system is somehow involved in an increasingly strange conspiracy.

If what the opponent encounters is really an artificial intelligence rebellion, it means that the resources of a civilization have been integrated by a super AI that must be extremely aggressive, and it already knows the coordinates of the solar system.

It's as if you are very sure that a black man has set his sights on your home and is ready to bring a truck of breadmen to kill you. You won't be able to defeat him for a while. In this case, of course, the farther you run, the harder it will be. good.

Of course, the existence of the nest determines the form. Lin Yi can completely run away with all his strength while the other part stays in the solar system. On the one hand, he can meet this unknown enemy for a while, and on the other hand, he can delay the opponent's pace and give the enemy to the rear. Individuals who run away gain more time for development.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the hyperdrive is successfully reverse engineered. Otherwise, although a spacecraft that relies on fusion as energy can also cross between star systems, the long time will allow enemies with hyperdrives to be nearby early. Set up an ambush in the star system and strike as soon as it appears. At present, under the pressure of the common enemy, the other party can be said to be giving everything they have without reservation. But unlike nuclear fusion reactors, Lin Yi had no foundation at all in this regard, and later generations had no relevant theories at all, and he was basically in the dark.

"Active means of super-light navigation have been proven to be unfeasible. Currently, the super-light engine we are using is based on the natural unknown space nodes that exist on the edge of the star's gravity well. We call it the 'hyperspace channel'."

"We don't know its specific principles. After the death of the scientist who developed the hyperspace engine technology, we have never made any breakthrough progress. But warships based on hyperspace technology do have the ability to move quickly between star systems. "

"The common theory is that the hyperspace engine is a kind of 'key' that generates an equally special field through a special wave resonance that wraps the entire hull and allows the spacecraft to pass through the entrance of the hyperspace channel."

At the edge of the solar system, a space creature with a special structure is suspended in the void, using a special structure of observation equipment to scan the universe in front of it. According to the other party, first use special means to observe the entrance of the hyperspace channel, maybe it will A little help.

This space looks no different from the ordinary space in the universe, but in the observation equipment created based on the principles given by the other party, there is an obvious abnormality here.

According to the other party, these abnormal areas are the entrance areas to the hyperspace channel. As long as the hyperspace engine is activated in the area, one can pass through the hyperspace channel and reach it in a matter of days or hours. Connected to another star system.

Hyperspace channels are thus connected outside the gravity wells of star systems, forming a transportation network that extends in all directions, greatly reducing the cost of navigation between star systems.

Outside the gravity well of each star system, there is at least one, ranging from two or three to four or five hyperspace channels connected to it. There are three in the solar system.

One of them, which is the one taken by the Ezki exploration fleet when it came, seemed to lead to the three stars of Centauri closest to the solar system based on the direction. The other two were unknown to Lin Yi for the time being.

This special perception of the entrance to the hyperspace channel can cover the entire star system, and its range even exceeds the traditional optical perception system, but this is not the point - this abnormality makes Lin Yi feel somewhat, inexplicably familiar - it seems that where he is I've seen this happen before.

For a moment, Lin Yi fell into deep thought, and then a burst of fear came into his heart.

According to certain characteristics of this hyperspace channel, unknown intervenors, Middle Ordovician meteor events, and the existence of the nest group, all this will not be simple.
