Will the out-of-control servitor meet the cosmic cat?

With such a large number, and in order to prevent the entire human army from being annihilated directly, they also allocated a certain amount of fire support to the human side, so that they also destroyed 34 warships, accounting for 20% of the previous fleet.

In other words, the warships directly destroyed by nuclear bombs in this round of attacks by the Cat Alliance/Human Alliance accounted for 43% of the remaining fleet before this—this is just a hard loss. For a warship that has almost exhausted its heat reservoir and bottomed out its working fluid, the combat power loss ratio is even close to 75%.

Among the 178 surviving warships, the only ones that still have a certain heat dissipation capability and can continue to fight are the fifty or so ships at the back of the cat alliance fleet, and the dozen or so warships in the deepest part of the human fleet up.

As for the remaining 110 battleships, although they were not directly destroyed, as space battleships, after losing almost all of their heat sinks and the heat pool was about to bottom out, it would take less than 10 minutes for them to lose heat because they could not dissipate heat. And quit the fight to be one of those carefree space junk.

"The data statistics have been completed. At present, we still have 178 capital ships in the battle order, of which 68 have continuous combat capabilities, and 110 warships have short-term combat capabilities."

After summarizing the data from the human side, Hong quickly reported.

"Among the 732 battleships withdrawn from the battle sequence, 284 were directly hit by nuclear bombs and had no repair value. About 300 of the remaining battleships were judged to be unable to recover their combat power in a short period of time. There is a possibility to restore some combat effectiveness after a certain degree of maintenance.”

"Fortunately, the situation is not too bad."

After hearing Hong's data, the atmosphere in the command center visibly relaxed.

Although the losses of our side are indeed very heavy, it doesn't matter, and the extermination unit will definitely not be pleased—even though they can't accurately judge the status of the enemy's remaining warships, and they don't know the specifics of the enemy's capital ships that have withdrawn from the battle order. Condition.

But what they can be sure of is that the opponent's remaining combat power cannot be significantly different from theirs.

because...

"The tactical support fleet, all 69 Beluga-class ships are listed, and the remaining 94% of combat power."

About 5000 kilometers behind the cat alliance's main fleet, an almost brand new small fleet is slowly moving forward.

After the main fleet had been torn apart to the brink of desperation, and the combat power was almost nonexistent, the electromagnetic gunships in the rear finally started to advance.

In terms of combat effectiveness on paper, they may be equivalent to eleven or twelve single-pushers. After all, the length of the Oluga-class is only half of that of the single-pusher, and the full-load mass is only 36000 tons. How powerful they are is obviously unrealistic.

However, compared to the front-line single pushers, they have a unique advantage at this moment.

That is they are almost intact at the moment.

"Humanity has sent a new important message."

Hong suddenly said.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Stuart lowered his head, and sure enough, a corresponding message jumped out on the control screen in front of him.

"Let me see... um... They propose to shrink the fleets of the two armies to the vicinity of the wormhole?"

"Yes." Hong added aloud, "They said that a fleet of cargo ships and supply ships carrying working fluid tanks and cooling plate parts have already set out on their way, and they are expected to arrive at the exit of the wormhole in 20 minutes. It is accompanied by a large number of bunkering ships and engineering ships."

"Okay, let's do it."

Needless to say, everyone immediately understood what the humans were thinking.

They no longer intend to continue to spend with the extermination unit. By letting the logistics fleet enter the field and repairing it directly in front of the opponent, they force the extermination unit to do a multiple-choice question.

If you choose to attack only their military fleet, then the logistics fleet can use this precious time to repair those warships that have withdrawn from the battle sequence due to loss of heat dissipation.

Even if the situation on the battlefield is chaotic and it is difficult to install new heat sinks, the working medium tanks brought by the logistics fleet alone can allow the fleet to maintain its combat effectiveness for a period of time by relying on the heat absorption of the working medium.

Obviously, Unit 01 can't just let them repair the battleship. After all, in order to avoid damage in the battle, its logistics fleet is all placed far away from the battlefield. It will take at least a few hours to rush over. Not to mention, they have to eat their firepower during the period, which is obviously not as good as the human logistics that can directly maneuver to the face through the wormhole.

However, if you choose to allocate part of the firepower to the logistics fleet and prevent them from repairing and replacing the working fluid tank, then the firepower of unit 01 against their military fleet will inevitably weaken, thereby increasing your winning rate in the frontal battlefield.

Whichever choice it makes, the odds are in their favour.

Because the answerer can never compete with the questioner.

"All fleets, stop the overload state, extend the combat time as much as possible, and approach the wormhole at the same time, the orbital parameters..."

Hong quickly distributed the order, and at the same time, he did not forget to bring the logistics fleet left by the cat alliance on the edge of the battlefield. Of course, as an expeditionary force, their logistics is relatively shabby. None of the quantities.

But something is better than nothing, no matter how bad it is, at least it can resist two shots and share a little firepower for the main fleet, right?

In this battle, both sides have tried their best - one side has pulled all of its logistics fleet to the battlefield to resist damage and repair it under artillery fire, and the other side even drove the dock to the front line The purpose of fighting is to increase the probability of winning in the war.

"Judging from the latest data, it seems that we are going to be even better."

Xi'er said while poking her red face.

"Well, that's how it is." Hong was unmoved by her behavior - anyway, she had long since lost her majesty, "So, the most worrying thing now is that weird and mysterious decoder."

"Uh-huh."

Xier nodded her little head to express her agreement.

"So, Hong, what do you think unit 01 will use to attack you?"

She wrung her fingers and denied one by one.

"The previous psychological hint of unknown principle has been deciphered by you, and the superluminal communication has completely cut off the energy and sent it to the secret room with the disconnected network. Even the data center responsible for listening to the electromagnetic waves from the outside world has been separated from the supercomputing network. up.

"Under such strict protection, what other means does it have to interfere with you?"

In this regard, Hong said that he did not know either.

She has already implemented targeted protection against all conceivable interference methods, unless the unit 01 can directly manipulate her consciousness from such a long distance, otherwise she can't think of any possibility of making her "rebel".

Even if such a hidden, weird, and difficult-to-prevent psychological suggestion was blocked by her, what more difficult-to-prevent tricks could it have?

Hong doesn't know.

The only thing she has to do now is to wait—waiting to see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Unit 01.

"Well, if calculated according to the delay, the human logistics fleet over there should have already..."

After being quiet for a while, Hong Qiao calculated the time and was about to speak.

No response.

All systems are completely unresponsive.

It's as if the whole world is stuck.

Almost instantly, she realized immediately that something had happened.

"Start emergency security procedures!"

Subconsciously, Hong's first reaction is to execute the program with the highest priority in all emergency plans - once this program is activated, all devices near Zai Zai will automatically load the safe mode, thereby prohibiting the execution of any commands other than the designated target , even she is no exception.

Or, to put it more directly, this program is most aimed at herself—once this security mode is loaded, it means that the program considers itself to be "untrustworthy" and may harm Zai Zai's existence .

This is a security measure written directly into the hardware. It will be triggered when the program judges that Hong has a tendency to harm the cub, or when Red is manually activated, but it cannot be stopped by any means other than modifying the hardware.

It can be said to be extremely safe, and there is almost no possibility of being manipulated by the outside world—unless the hardware is modified. However, if the hardware can be directly disassembled to modify it, it means that the machine has already fallen into the enemy's hands. Can it be changed early? It doesn't matter anymore.

However, things didn't go the way she hoped.

Security program, not responding.

"Why is that?"

For the first time, Hong felt a little flustered.

Although she immediately prevented this emotion from spreading, so as not to interfere with her quick decision-making, Hong had to admit that this was the first time she really felt the emotion of "fear" when facing Unit 01 .

"Why is there no response?"

You should know that in order to prevent interference when the computer is running, it is not the computer system that is responsible for executing the emergency security program, but the "hardware", which is a physical device.

How can the physical device not respond?

But soon, she knew the answer to the question.

"All hardware offline?"

Hong finally noticed the abnormality.

Normally, with such an obvious problem, she would find something wrong almost instantly. All hardware is offline, all tasks that were in progress are completely interrupted, and all data transmission is completely suspended-such a big problem, it takes less than a few nanometers. The exception will be found in seconds.

But now, it is very normal for her not to notice.

Because now she only has the "main body".

"There is still such a method."

Hong muttered to himself.

It needs to be clear that Hong is not a pure "AI" in the traditional sense, her thinking is not completely composed of codes and programs, and her "ontology" is not the supercomputing array where she conducts her core thinking.

Hong's real body is actually a mass of something she doesn't know what it is... nothingness?

Maybe it can be called a soul or something. Hong herself doesn't know what it is, and who is the consciousness that fulfilled her in the first place—in short, the real situation is that she is a consciousness adapted to the computer, and Non-conscious computers were born.

In normal times, with the support of the supercomputer where she resides and other huge supercomputing arrays connected through the network, her thinking ability can easily detect abnormalities around her within a few hundred clock cycles.

However, after losing these external thinking modules, without the help of amazing computing power, her original thinking ability is very weak.

So weak that she couldn't feel the slightest sense of security.

"Unit 01! Stop hiding! Get out!"

Hong shouted loudly, trying to get the mastermind behind the incident to come out to meet her—for the conscious body, the intense release of information should be equivalent to "shouting loudly", right?

Hong didn't know, except for the brief attempt to find her own life form a long time ago under many guarantees, she never stayed in this state for even a second.

She is used to it, and only knows how to interfere with everything around her as an AI, but does not know how to interfere with external things as a pure consciousness.

This state of being unable to do anything with other things, only waiting to be judged like a fish on a chopping board, is really strange to her...

and afraid.

"Get out of here!"

As if hearing Hong's words, she could feel that there was a sudden fluctuation in this space.

Before she could find the source of this wave, a voice that she had never heard before, but which she could understand quietly sounded beside her.

"Consciousness separation completed."

Although she has never heard this voice before, Hong knows what this talking thing is - not through simple logical reasoning, but a kind of "cognition" from the heart.

Even if you don't understand the language at all, as long as you hear this voice, you will definitely know the owner of this voice.

Called the Mystic Decoder.

Volume II Anti-Extinction War: Chapter 160 The Truth of Negative Consciousness is...

real world.

"scoff~"

Accompanied by the report sound of "normal air pressure" in the airtight room, the heavy three-proof door slowly opened amidst the rumbling background sound.

Before the gate was fully opened, as if unwilling to wait another second, a figure quickly passed through the gap that barely allowed a cub to pass through.

"Your Excellency Xier, the area ahead is extremely dangerous. According to the security regulations, you should immediately leave this place under our protection..."

Behind this figure, a group of robots are following her closely, and at the same time, they keep repeating the words that want her to leave here immediately-they are right, the front is really an unimaginably dangerous place for her. In the area, any sane creature should make a decision to follow them and leave here immediately.

However, as if she didn't hear it at all, she still walked towards that place on her own.

If it is a creature with autonomous consciousness, they will definitely choose to take her away forcibly at this moment, away from this dangerous area, but as a weak AI, the only thing she can do is to repeat the danger constantly, hoping that the other party will obey her suggestion.

After all, Xi'er was her immediate boss at this time.

"No."

While Xi'er brushed open a separate door again, she rejected the other party's suggestion without hesitation.

"Baby, let's..."

"Don't imitate her!"

As if she was stung suddenly, she interrupted the 'Red' loudly, with a hint of crying in her voice.

"The order has been accepted, yes, Your Excellency Xier."

Although she didn't know and didn't understand why her master suddenly became emotional, as a smart weak AI, combined with the previous communication between the two parties, she successfully understood the weakly directed vague instruction of 'don't learn how to speak from her'.

Therefore, she could only continue to try to prevent Xier from heading towards Hong, whose position was already unknown, while following her closely, trying to protect her safety as much as possible.

"You are not her...you are not allowed to speak like her..."

While running, she murmured in a low voice.

"Drip~ The highest authority unit has been detected, welcome, the world's cutest Miss Xier."

After confirming the identity of the visitor, the last protective door was slowly opened, revealing the deepest and most important heart of this underground base——
