With the support of a ninth-level civilization, do you want me to believe in electronic gods?

Chapter 359 [Rectification] and [Gaia]

"……what?"

Chen Fan looked at the figure constructed by the holographic projection in astonishment.

Long live!
I didn’t expect artificial intelligence would swear!
And it is the quintessence of our country with standard pronunciation!
At this moment, Chen Fan felt that his worldview was in turmoil. He subconsciously asked, "Zero, what did you say?"

Ling turned his head and glanced at Chen Fan with a smile.

From Chen Fan's micro-expressions, Ling quickly understood his inner thoughts.

"What? You think I shouldn't behave like this?"

Facing Ling's question, Chen Fan smiled awkwardly: "It's just... I didn't expect you to be so humane."

"Although Zero is an artificial intelligence, it is no different from a real intelligent creature." Red Stone's voice came from the side, "If you must make an analogy, you can think of him as a special silicon-based life form."

"Of course, Zero's life level should be a level higher than silicon-based life."

Chen Fan nodded suddenly.

He stared out the porthole at the mechanical planet and the rectification fleet that seemed to have stopped functioning, and quickly glanced at Gaia which had fallen silent on the communication channel.

Finally, he couldn't help but feel confused and asked in a low voice: "Zero, [Su Zheng] over there..."

"It..."

Ling heaved a long sigh of relief: "It shouldn't cause any waves."

"Taking advantage of the chaos just now, I successfully seized all external communication rights of this mechanical planet, and completely trapped it in this mechanical planet."

Chen Fan understood instantly.

The situation is similar to that of [Source], it can be considered a cyber prison.

"It's on your side."

Zero looked up at the sky: "What on earth is going on with [Gaia]?"

From the perspective of the mechanical planet, the khaki planetary fortress where Gaia is located is like a satellite, hanging high in the center of the sky.

Chen Fan smiled bitterly and introduced Gaia's life story to Ling.

"...Now it seems that [Gaia] and [Suzheng] should have been born from the same planet."

"only……"

Chen Fan hesitated again and again: "I didn't expect that the two brothers would be so different."

The former is a heartless chatterbox who only wants to find someone to chat with.

the latter……

All he thought about doing all day was devouring resources and increasing his military strength, and he viewed all kinds of intelligent creatures as tools for his own advancement. As a result, he violated various laws and regulations of the Human Union and even triggered the Human Union's civilization extermination order!

"How are you going to solve [Su Zheng]?"

Ling looked at the conflicted expression on Chen Fan's face with interest: "Continue to execute the civilization extermination order? Or..."

Faced with Ling's question, Chen Fan couldn't help but frown.

The shortcomings of human nature were fully revealed at this moment - because of the relationship with [Gaia], he actually felt a little confused for a moment.

Like Zero, he glanced at the khaki-colored planetary fortress hanging in the air.

Perhaps because he knew that his previous action almost made the war situation worse, or perhaps because of Zero's presence, the Planet Spirit changed his previous talkative attitude and fell into complete silence.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "... Let's talk about the solution later. I have some questions I want to discuss with [Su Zheng]."

"as you wish."

Ling smiled and agreed to Chen Fan's request: "It just so happens that I am also a little curious about the existence form of [Suzheng]."

Seeing Chen Fan's surprised look, Ling explained casually:
"Logically speaking, since [Su Zheng] and [Gaia] were born from the same planet, their life forms should be exactly the same, both are special forms of silicon-based life."

"but……"

"After two encounters, I feel that [Su Zheng] is more like artificial intelligence."

"Whether it's processing logic or other aspects of performance, [Su Zheng] doesn't look like a naturally formed silicon-based life form."

……

In the cockpit of [Varilla].

An extremely familiar interactive interface slowly emerged from the holographic image directly above the main console.

Dense iron fence.

Behind the iron fence is a small mechanical-style prison room.

There is even a large sewing machine in the room that looks like a mechanical planet...

Chen Fan couldn't help but glance sideways at Ling who was smiling beside him.

He remembered that the prison visit interaction interface of [Source] seemed to have been made by Ling himself.

After slacking off, Chen Fan discovered another hobby of Zero - designing a cyber prison by himself.

"cough."

Chen Fan coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the cyber prison: "【Rectify】..."

Before he finished speaking, a roar with an electric current sounded: "Despicable stranger!!"

Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly: "[Su Zheng], let's have a good chat. I have something to ask..."

"I reject."

Without any hesitation, [Su Zheng] directly rejected Chen Fan's words: "I don't know how you foreigners captured Xiao Er, but I won't fall for it."

"I would rather die if you are not free."

"Even if I [Su Zheng] die and turn into interstellar dust under the attack of the dark matter cannon, I will not answer any of your questions!"

Chen Fan was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke:
"Gaia, open the mic." "Big Brother!" Before Su Zheng could react, the unique synthesized voice of the planet spirits rang out in the cockpit of the Varela, "You misunderstood, I was not captured."

"On the contrary, the Human Alliance...these strangers saved me!"

"..." In the interactive interface, the blue-red light on the surface of the mechanical planet flickered violently, "Waiter, you..."

Chen Fan nodded happily to the planet spirit, motioning him to continue.

After receiving Chen Fan's approval, Gaia became excited and quickly recounted his experience of wandering in the starry sky.

Perhaps because it felt that the speed of oral information transmission was too slow, [Gaia] directly initiated a multi-threaded communication unique to [Su Zheng] through the interactive window with zero design.

In just a few minutes, the sharp blue-red light on the surface of the mechanical planet softened a little.

"Big brother, just cooperate with the second brother!"

[Gaia] finally said: "Maybe we will have the opportunity to fight side by side in the future!"

In one sentence, the defense line of [Su Zheng] was directly broken.

"How is it?" Looking at [Su Zheng] who suddenly fell silent, Chen Fan raised his eyebrows, "Are you ready to cooperate now?"

"...despicable stranger." [Su Zheng] sighed deeply, "For Xiao Er's sake, I will try my best to cooperate."

"You want to know about the situation of the previous group of foreigners, right?"

"Don't worry about the stranger's questions for now." Chen Fan glanced at Ling Zu, who was resting with his eyes closed, and said, "Tell me about your life experience first."

"You were born on the same planet, but according to our tests, your life form is different from Gaia's."

"How is this going?"

After hearing Chen Fan's words, [Su Zheng] was silent for a long time, and finally slowly narrated:
"It all starts with..."

"It started more than a million years ago."

Millions of years ago?!
Chen Fan was shocked when he heard this terrifying time scale.

You know, the history of the Human Union is only tens of thousands of years!

Not only Chen Fan, but also Yisha and Gao Yuan could not help but let out a low exclamation when they heard this.

……

Millions of years ago.

In the empty starry sky, a gray-white rocky planet is floating silently.

It is a rogue planet.

Due to the lack of external heat sources, the surface of the planet is covered with thick ice all year round.

Unlike the surface, the core of this planet is surging with boiling magma!
The magma was churning, and electric current signals like lightning continued to emerge from the center of the earth, radiating out along the winding veins in the earth's crust.

The ore veins are composed of monocrystalline silicon and various rare earth elements.

These electric currents, so weak that they were barely noticeable, continued to spread along the veins, and eventually flowed into a tiny, inconspicuous vein located on the surface.

Pulsing currents continued to flow through the mineral veins, and suddenly...

One day, something strange happened.

A consciousness suddenly appeared in the mine.

The surface of [Suzheng] flickered with a bluish-red light, and it recalled softly: "I was born in an indescribable and obscure murmur."

The moment the words fell, Chen Fan in the driver's seat suddenly sat up straight.

Not only Chen Fan, but also Ling, who had been resting with his eyes closed, quickly opened his eyes.

"Obscure murmurs?"

Chen Fan eagerly described what he saw and heard in the high-dimensional resonance, and even displayed some words from the broadcast civilization: "Is it this kind of whisper?"

"Yes."

After careful identification, [Su Zheng] finally confirmed Chen Fan's words: "At that time, I didn't know the meaning of those whispers, nor did I know where they came from."

"But amidst this continuous obscure murmur, my consciousness became clear."

"As time went by, I finally realized my existence."

“It may sound awkward, but it’s true.”

Ling nodded solemnly and explained to Chen Fan: "It is not difficult for intelligent creatures to be aware of their own existence."

"But for artificial intelligence, this is a qualitative leap."

"The hallmark of Level I artificial intelligence is awareness of its own existence."

The voice of [Su Zheng] continued: "When I became aware of my existence, I subconsciously began to explore outside."

"Just as I began my exploration, I discovered a giant consciousness that is countless times larger than me."

"I was so frightened by this discovery that I didn't dare to explore outside and only stayed in my own small section of the mine."

"But as time went by, I gradually realized that the giant consciousness was not dangerous."

"It has been in a state of deep sleep and is rarely awake."

"This giant consciousness is Xiao Er."

"Wait!" Chen Fan widened his eyes slightly and cast a surprised look at the interactive interface in front of him, "You mean..."

"Gaia was born before you?"

"...Yes." [Su Zheng] confirmed Chen Fan's words, "Although I don't know the exact time when Xiao Er was born, one thing is certain, my appearance is due to the pulsed current signal transmitted unconsciously by Xiao Er."
