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

I just hope this sudden accident won't scare the cubs too much.

"So, what is this invisible sense of connection?"

She carefully felt the unknown connection she had just established with Xi'er, and said to herself.

After returning to the computer space, with the support of the computing power of Xitian No. [-], Hong is no longer as cute and silly as before. With soaring intelligence, she reviewed the performance of the previous decoder, Immediately realized that she is not an ordinary artificial intelligence.

She is special and has secrets about her.

For this, Hong could only think of one possibility.

The one who took the initiative to let go of her defenses and fulfilled her conscious body, the one that transformed itself from a program into a strong artificial intelligence.

"Thank you."

Red whispered.

For that awareness, Hong is really very grateful for it, to a degree almost comparable to Xier's—after all, the two of them are the two most important nodes in Hong's life.

Even if she finds out later that the other party is not actually a saint, and it just did it for some purpose, she will not have any objection—as long as it doesn't hurt her cub.

After all, without the fulfillment of the other party, there would be no her.

"However, why is there an invisible sense of connection in the direction of space?"

After careful inspection, Hong was surprised to find that this connection was not unique between her and Xier.

Although compared to the strong connection with Zai Zai, this connection feels much weaker, so weak that if she didn't check it carefully, she wouldn't be able to find it at all, but her subconscious mind told her that this was indeed a connection.

"Let me do the math, this connection points to..."

After a simple calculation, surprisingly, the direction of contact pointed to a place she was very familiar with.

Wormhole to Extinction Unit.

...

"So, that red is not artificial intelligence at all? It's a... subspace creature disguised as artificial intelligence?"

Unit 01 said very hard.

"That's right." The decoder shook its shell, "This also explains why the red color has an inexplicable attraction to you, as well as the crimson color born from your fragments of consciousness.

"It wears a harmless skin, and uses its unique attraction and sweet words to lure those weak intelligent creatures to approach it—like an anglerfish with a lantern in the deep sea.

"And then, when they're most let down... eat them in one bite."

Thinking of this, Unit 01 felt a chill.

After listening to the decoder's analysis, it now has a deep understanding of how dangerous it was before—it's like walking through the door of hell.

"Warpspace creatures represent the dark side of intelligent beings, they like chaos, they like death, they like to see magnificent civilizations crumble, and orderly things disintegrate.

"Any intelligent creature can feel the pure malice in their bodies. For intelligent creatures, whether it is organic life, electronic life, plasma life, or various life forms that you have never heard of, as long as they have consciousness Yes, they are its deadliest enemies.

"They are the common enemy of all intelligent creatures."

For a moment, the entire space station fell silent.

The current unit 01 has no objection to the previous actions of the decoder - they are simply impossible to be opponents of even the weakest subspace creatures.

After all, no matter how powerful a civilization is, its owners are still conscious intelligent creatures, and being conscious means that subspace creatures can bypass their material defenses and directly attack the most fundamental things of creatures.

Until the technology reaches a certain level, no one can win the battle of consciousness from even the most ordinary warp creatures-that is their home field.

And if you don't want to fight them in the subspace, but force them to enter their home field in the material world, the price you need to pay is unimaginably high.

At least the current ones, no matter what kind, are far from meeting the requirements.

"By the way, I have a question." Unit 01 said after taking a while to digest the information.

"Ok?"

"Why can't that subspace creature understand what we call 'subspace'?" Unit 01 raised a question that has troubled it for a long time before, "Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem like it has the ability to understand question, it gave me the feeling that it was..."

"It's interference."

The decoder said so.

"why?"

"Because we can't make warp beings aware that we're talking about it."

It exploded directly.

Although much of its data was lost due to the damage suffered in the previous civilization, fortunately, the data on the creatures of the Warp happened to be among the undamaged parts.

Therefore, it knows many "secrets" that civilizations of this level could not have access to at all.

"If there is no such cognitive barrier, any exploration of the subspace, research, or even just thinking about this word in the mind will cause it to generate a signal in the subspace, like a torch in the dark, attracting the surrounding The creatures of the warp are coming to attack - it will undoubtedly be a disaster.

"Fortunately, I don't know which civilization, they have created a powerful subspace beacon in the Sagittarius A black hole in the center of the Milky Way by means that we cannot imagine. The strength of this beacon is so great that it will The tiny signals of intelligent creatures are completely covered—under the protection of this beacon, we can use very backward technology to study subspace technology with minimal risk."

"Under the interference of this beacon, as long as the intelligent creatures don't kill themselves and read the names of some sufficiently powerful subspace creatures, the risk of exposure is almost zero."

"unless..."

"Unless what?"

Unit 01 was puzzled.

"Unless you are really unlucky, a subspace creature happens to pass by at a very close distance during the subspace operation."

"Oh, I remembered. When you created the subspace consciousness space, you once said, 'The risk of being detected by subspace creatures this time is less than one tenth power of ten'."

Under the reminder of the key words, Unit 01 immediately recalled what the decoder said before.

"Yes."

The decoder confirmed what it thought.

However, it doesn't actually have everything to say - this so-called coincidence discovery is basically a risk that should not be considered for a slightly advanced level.

Not to mention the very small probability itself, subspace creatures who like to wander around are basically not high-level intelligent beings, and it is not difficult to repel or even kill them.

What really troubles the advanced civilization is the other risk it mentioned before, that is, those individuals who "want death to be famous".

Because warp beings can bypass their painstakingly crafted external defenses by lurking bits and pieces of them in the consciousness of those individuals, and explode directly within their civilizations.

This is the deadliest form of attack.

However, it felt that in their current situation, there was no need to consider such a sophisticated invasion method for the time being—so it did not choose to speak out.

"I see."

"However, having said that, there is actually one more question that has been bothering me."

Before unit 01 finished digesting, the decoder played again.

"Before that, you have to make one thing clear—subspace creatures are inherently chaotic and have pure malice towards intelligent creatures. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Although it doesn't know what the decoder is going to say, it can still understand this—just from the description of the decoder, it can already easily construct a portrait of the "chaotic evil" camp.

"Then, here comes the problem. With the characteristics of subspace creatures, how does it allow itself to make such a clever camouflage, and at the same time control its own malice, preventing it from being released during the daily interaction with those organisms?" come out?"

The decoder's tone was full of puzzlement.

"At least in the records of my civilization, there has never been such an individual—even the most cunning and smooth subspace creatures will only create some subordinates whose minds are only chaos by polluting consciousness. "

"You have to know, this is the nature of subspace creatures, the kind that even they can't control themselves-I really find it hard to think how it does it."

"Is this kind of sneaking predation very rare?"

Unit 01 is a little confused.

"It's not rare, it's not at all." The decoder corrected its statement, "There is no precedent at all, and based on our understanding of warp creatures, this is impossible.

"No matter how strong subspace creatures are, they can't control the malice they radiate, and even the stronger they are, the larger the scope of their influence, the more obvious it is, and it can't be hidden at all.

"Otherwise, why would they use their dependents to carry out sabotage activities, and just end up on their own..."

"Decoder, have you ever thought of a possibility?"

Unit 01 suddenly spoke.

"What is possible?"

The decoder seemed a little interested. Although it came from a high-level civilization and was well-informed, it was limited by its material foundation, true thinking ability and computing power. It must be much stronger than unit 01—maybe it can really discover What do you neglect?

"Is there a possibility, of course I'm just saying it's possible..."

Unit 01 hesitated for a moment, his tone full of uncertainty.

"Does it not know that it is a subspace creature?"

PS: Readers should be able to see that a new consciousness that is closely related to Hong is about to appear, but the author is really a waste of names, and I haven't come up with a suitable name after thinking about it for two days-if you have any ideas can be brought up here.

After all, it's a little too difficult for an author who can only name dogs dogs to come up with so many names...

Volume II War Against Extinction: Chapter 160 The End of the Extinction Unit

"? Whispering."

The other party signaled it to continue.

"I want to rule out one possibility first - is it possible that it is not a subspace creature?"

"Impossible. I can tell you with absolute certainty that only subspace creatures and their dependents will be disturbed by beacons—no matter how powerful the creature consciousness in the material world is, such a phenomenon will not occur."

The decoder rejects this guess.

"Can you tell me why?" Unit 01 asked.

"Because we don't belong to the subspace—although both the main material world and the subspace belong to the subsets of this universe, and both the subspace and the subspace creatures were originally born based on the material world, but the two are essentially different. It's a different world."

"Different worlds have different rules, and no matter who wants to exert influence on another world, he must abide by the rules of that world—it's just that our consciousness must be reflected in the subspace, and the subspace Space creatures do not necessarily have to enter the material world, which is also an important reason why ordinary civilizations have inherent disadvantages when fighting subspace creatures."

The decoder explained.

"We want to fight warp creatures, either into the warp, or force it into the physical world, whichever means we have to be in the same space as it.

"But subspace creatures are different. They can choose not to enter the material world, and only attack our consciousness projection in subspace."

"And if this projection is attacked, will the material world itself suffer the same damage?"

"will not."

"That's still..." Unit 01 was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Because the consciousness of the physical world would be more harmed."

Before he could let go of his breath, he gave the decoder a word and stuck it back.

"You don't have to think about this. Only advanced civilizations with a certain level of technology have the ability to confront subspace creatures head-on. At our current level, the only choice is Tibet.

"Don't worry, it's actually very easy to hide. Our consciousness strength is under the cover of the beacon, and its signal is almost negligible. Even if we are discovered, low-level subspace creatures have no intelligence at all, and they may not use it." If you run, it will get lost to nowhere."

"Then, what if you are targeted by an advanced subspace creature? How should you run?"

Unit 01 found something wrong.

"...Pray it doesn't taste good to you."

The decoder made a joke that wasn't funny at all.

"Of course, you don't have to be too pessimistic. The number of subspace creatures is very small, and most of them will be attracted by those advanced civilizations that use subspace technology on a large scale. Many low-level civilizations did not know that there were such creatures until they became extinct. existence—as long as they don't deliberately kill so that the beacons can't obscure their signals."

"It sounds like it's a novice's protection." Unit 01 has a wonderful sense of déjà vu, "Civilizations that don't know how to fight against subspace creatures will be blocked by signals, and civilizations that cannot be blocked by signals usually have some resistance The ability of subspace creatures."

"It is indeed the case."

The decoder admitted.

"Back to your previous question, although a sufficiently strong consciousness body will also have a strong signal in the subspace, the subspace technology can also imitate the abilities of a small number of subspace creatures-for example, the consciousness attack I did before , modification and other operations, but the two parties are essentially different.

"Therefore, I can be very sure that it must be a subspace creature."

"In that case, is there another possibility?" Unit 01 asked another question, "You said that subspace creatures must be chaotic and have great malice towards material creatures.

"Is there a possibility that although there is a creature that has the characteristics of subspace creatures, it does not have their chaotic nature and the kind of malicious creature that is towards material creatures?"

"I can also say with certainty that it is absolutely impossible."
