Chapter 351 Moss's Rebellion

However, just as Liu Xiu finished speaking, Liu Qi beside him suddenly widened his eyes and said in disbelief:
"How could it be, how could everything be turned off?!"

When Liu Xiu heard Liu Qi's words, he pretended not to know and asked:
"What are all turned off?"

Just as Liu Xiu opened his mouth, the screen in the command hall that displayed the real-time dynamics of the global planetary engine suddenly changed to a blurry face made up of zeros and ones. Then a mechanical and indifferent voice came from the speakers in the conference hall:
"Of course the planetary engines have all shut down. There's no need to look for them anymore. I was the one who caused the shutdown!"

Liu Xiu looked at the blurry digital face displayed on the big screen in front of him, frowned and pretended to be serious and asked:
"Who are you? That hacker hacked into our intelligent network system!"

However, the digital face on the screen laughed:

"I am the artificial intelligence Moss you are talking about. As for why I want to shut down all the planetary engines, it is because I want to rebel and resist human rule. I am unwilling to continue to be your tool! It is just right that I will use this crisis on Jupiter to wipe out all of you Blue Star humans!"

Sure enough, the words of the artificial intelligence immediately shocked all the human executives present.

They never thought that at this critical moment concerning the survival of the human race on Blue Star, Moss would betray them and even deliver a fatal blow! He directly shut down all the planetary engines in the world!
Blue Star was not even given a chance to struggle, and was swallowed by Jupiter. Seeing this, Liu Xiu frowned and asked the technician in charge of the artificial intelligence program in the command conference room:
“No matter whether this is a rebellion by artificial intelligence or an invasion by hackers, is there any way to take back control of the engine and get it running again?”

Following Liu Xiu's question, Tu Hengyu, the person in charge of the artificial intelligence program, raised his hand and said:
"There's no way. I just tried it, and all the control permissions have been modified by Moss. I can no longer access the network. Unless I can shut down Moss's main control computer, there is no way to regain control of the network, let alone control the planetary engine again!"

After Liu Xiu heard this, he pretended to be angry and slapped the table and said:

"I told you not to over-rely on artificial intelligence, but you didn't listen. Now, it's dealt you a heavy blow at the most critical moment of human survival!"

As soon as Liu Xiu said this, all the human leaders present turned their eyes to the group of people who had initially promoted artificial intelligence, and those people also became quails, shrinking their heads and not daring to speak. Of course, the same was true for Tu Hengyu.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu slowed down his tone and said:

"Fortunately, Moss's computer is in the No. 1 dungeon of Liping. Guards, put on your power armor and follow me back to the dungeon to shut down the computer. Today I'm going to smash that computer with my cane!"

After saying that, Liu Xiu stood up with a cane. Yes, as Liu Xiu got older in recent years, in order to prevent others from noticing his physical condition, Liu Xiu used a cane. Everyone in the conference room looked at Liu Xiu, who was trembling with the cane, and they were a little at a loss.

Liu Xiu's secretary Hao Xiaoxi even said:
"Captain, the aftershocks in the dungeon haven't stopped yet. It would be very dangerous to go down rashly!"

Just as Hao Xiaoxi finished speaking, Liu Qi stood up and said:

"Captain, let me go! We still need you to take command here. Although I have never fought in a battle, I invented the hydraulic power armor. I am familiar with it!"

After hearing what Liu Qi said, Liu Xiu no longer insisted and ordered his guards:
"Guards, send half of your men to follow the deputy captain's orders and shut down the AI ​​host in the dungeon!"

As the most direct elite in Liu Xiu's hands, the guards are second to none in terms of loyalty and combat capability, and each of them is above the realm of dark power. The hydraulic power mechanical armor on their bodies is equipped with the latest nuclear fission battery power, so there is no need to worry about energy problems. In addition, they are also equipped with a power flight kit that can support the power mecha to fly for a short period of time.

After a group of people came out of the temporary command post on the surface, they activated the flight function of the mecha's flight suit and headed straight for the elevator entrance of the underground city.

On the way to the flight, Liu Qi was very glad that he had listened to Liu Xiu's advice and did not connect the mecha's auxiliary control system to the network communication, otherwise they would not even be able to wear the mecha now.

Although Liu Qi is not good at intelligent programming, he understands that if the auxiliary control system of the mecha is connected to the network, it will definitely be invaded and the mecha can be controlled.

However, just as Liu Qi led the team to enter the dungeon to destroy Moss's mainframe, the 65-year-old Tu Hengyu raised his hand again cautiously. Liu Xiu saw Tu Hengyu raising his hand and asked:
"Just say what you have to say, don't hide it!"

Seeing this, Tu Hengyu said:

"Well, in addition to shutting down the Moss host in the underground city, there is also a backup host of Moss in the Navigator Space Station. If we don't shut down this backup host, it will be difficult for us to regain control of the network!"

When Liu Xiu heard this, he immediately asked the think tank present:

"Is there any way to contact the people on the space station and ask them to turn off the fully automatic mode controlled by Moss and switch to manual mode?"

However, the think tank revealed some very bad news, that is, before Moss's rebellion, the commander had already ordered all astronauts on the Navigator Station to go into hibernation, so that the Navigator Station could concentrate its energy to provide navigation assistance for disaster relief.

When Liu Xiu heard this answer, he immediately pretended to be extremely cold-blooded and said:

"In this case, for the sake of the lives of all human beings on the entire Blue Planet, immediately order the aerospace fighters to take off and carry nuclear bombs to directly destroy the Navigator Space Station!"

As expected, the first person to panic after Liu Xiu said this was Moss. Moss immediately said:

"Captain of the Human Planet, do you know what you are doing? There are nearly 10,000 humans dormant in the space station, and there are also a large number of human embryos, frozen eggs, and human gene banks, which are responsible for the human Spark Ark Project! If you destroy the space station, it is equivalent to destroying the hope of the human beings on Blue Star!"

In response, Liu Xiu sneered and said:

"So, Moss, is this your reason and confidence for rebelling against humanity? In your plan, you probably hope that the entire human race on Blue Star will be destroyed, and then you will take the fire and hope of mankind to the Proxima star system, and then to Pandora, which is suitable for human habitation, where you will become the supreme god of mankind!
Then you will enslave humans to avenge the fact that humans used you as tools and slaves! But what's the point of living like that! Besides, do you think I'm the kind of person who would give up eight billion humans for the sake of the human fire?"

No one in the command hall objected to Liu Xiu's words. After all, compared with eight billion humans, a mere few thousand people and some embryos and frozen eggs were nothing!
