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

Although they were unequal enemies, for some reason, the extermination unit at this time seemed to have found something to tell, pouring out these confidential things.

Even though he knew that this was impossible, James couldn't help thinking "if we can find a way to inform the outside world of this information, what a huge advancement it can bring to human technology" after listening to these confidential information that is enough to subvert human understanding of machine intelligence. idea.

But sadly, it wasn't possible—at least, he couldn't think of it.

"Drip, the S-6 control link of Section 1 of Area B is online."

Suddenly, accompanied by a faintly audible notification sound, a line of words suddenly appeared on the screen.

"It seems that everything is proceeding steadily according to your plan. You see, they have successfully connected the control link."

"What's the use?" Listening to the extermination unit's words that seemed to be congratulating him, James pulled the trigger that couldn't be pulled twice, and sneered, "Anyway, you've already won."

"Who says I've won?"

The extermination unit changed the voice into a crisp female voice that James was vaguely familiar with, but couldn't remember.

"Otherwise? Will you let them successfully warn the fortress? In that case, you are really a good person..."

"of course."

It replied so.

"After connecting to the control link, that team will accidentally exchange fire with the engineering troops passing through this section. Finally, after paying a heavy price, they successfully break through, blow up the communication tower, get on the escaped spaceship, and drive the base out of control. report to your stronghold."

"Then, I would have to launch it early because the plan was revealed, so I couldn't arrive with the missiles launched by the main attack fleet. Not only did I fail to achieve the original tactical goal, but it also allowed you to successfully regain the city and destroy it at a relatively small cost. took my missile."

"Not only that, in order to launch and cover the missile attack, the main attacking fleet was forced to speed up to enter the range ahead of time, which resulted in the two fleets failing to arrive at the battlefield at the same time, and a small number of warships were destroyed by the superior firepower of humans. decrease."

"At this point, in order to bring back the situation, the flagship of the extermination unit forcibly started the engine, leading the fleet with a farther orbit to jump to the side of your fleet, and it happened to jump to the orbit of the Mars interstellar missile. After your adventure After the operation, the missile trajectory was successfully changed at a rather extreme angle at the expense of a large number of DVs."

"In order to intercept the missiles, I had to order some of the warships to turn around, which exposed the vulnerable sides. As a result, your fleet and fortress guns focused fire, causing heavy losses."

"In this way, although human beings are still at a great disadvantage on the overall battlefield, this operation has successfully allowed you to persist until the arrival of the 'red' fleet, guarding the star leading to Mars, and finally Important wormhole."

"Pretty good and reasonable script, isn't it?"

When it mentioned the name "red", James finally understood where his vague sense of familiarity came from.

Because he had heard a voice very similar to it on a news program.

This is the red voice.

PS: QAQ

Volume 120 Extinction War: Chapter [-] Mysterious Decoder

"Could it be..."

Reminiscent of the script just mentioned by the other party, a terrible conjecture flooded James' mind.

Will it be of any benefit to the extermination unit to deliberately release water so that humans can maintain the defense line without collapsing until the reinforcement fleet of the allies arrives?

Normally, there is no, after all, an obvious thing is that no matter how many conspiracies and tricks it has that humans can't think of, it can't change the fact that it is more than 500 warships-in any case, compared to a warship organized by the Alliance It is more in its interests to form a coalition with humans, a line of defense is penetrated, and humans whose fleet is wiped out are more in line with its interests.

Otherwise, why does it have to work so hard to create such a "local quantitative advantage"?

unless....

"of course not."

What he didn't expect was that the extermination unit rejected his conjecture without hesitation.

"If she is willing to unite with me, you organic scum, it is impossible to live to this day."

From the words of the other party, James heard a strong sense of regret—even for some reason, he still felt an emotion called "ghost".

Yes, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would never have dreamed of connecting this girlish-sounding vocabulary with the murderous omnic in front of him.

"It's just the voiceprint data I got from you." Fortunately, this resentment didn't last long. "At this point, I would like to thank you very much. If it weren't for your sieve-like secrecy And data protection, it is impossible for me to obtain information about her so easily."

While it was talking, it quickly showed a few photos on the screen in front of James - from what looked like an "official photo" taken in a certain meeting, to a sneak shot from nowhere, dressed in There are all kinds of life photos of people in regular clothes chatting with several Jeffrey people.

Line up, everything.

"?"

James' stunned face was vaguely reflected on the smooth screen.

When he heard the word "intelligence", based on the thinking of a space army officer, what he thought of were top-secret documents of the same clan, confidential data of main battleships, distribution of military industrial chains, and so on.

Rather, any normal human would understand this way, right?

As a result, now... what about the promised information?What about the secret?

"You don't think that with your backward level, you can steal any useful information."

Facing James' question, the extermination unit taunted.

"But what's the use of these photos?" He also asked back, "Could it be that a toaster with only screws in its mind can also do that kind of erotic stuff?"

"Not only that, but secretly filming things like this—isn't that what advanced beings should do?"

His original intention was just to choke on this omnic that was full of "low-level creatures", and he didn't expect the other party to really give any answer-after all, even if the other party is not the kind of omnic that can't communicate at all in human imagination, it will change But the fact that it is the enemy.

Anyway, he has long accepted that he is a mortal future, and if he can tell the other party how to break the defense with words before he dies, he will be walking on the road to hell with a smile.

As a result, in the face of his ridicule, not only did the omnic not taunt back as before, on the contrary, after a moment of contemplation, it gave an answer beyond his imagination.

"Yes."

"Could it be you... huh?"

He was stunned.

"Are you surprised?" The extermination unit's voice was full of contempt, "That's right, with your brains, you can only preconceive that our omnics are rigid machines, don't understand emotions, don't know how to be flexible-what arrogance idea."

"Emotion is not the patent of your organic beings."

Its voice became deeper, or rather, colder.

"She is the only one of my kind, a high-level life like me—even though she is being deceived by you scum and manipulated to be an enemy of her kind, she is still my kind no matter what. "

"I will save her."

"This is my mission."

When it came to the end, the sweet girlish voice that originally belonged to Hong had almost disappeared completely, and was replaced by a mechanically synthesized voice that sounded creepy enough to make people feel creepy.

"As for you useless, low-level beings who do nothing but waste resources and hinder our development—whether organic or omnic."

"I will wipe them all out completely, leaving no one behind."

"Never compromise."

Listening to the undisguised hostility towards organic creatures in its words, the luck in his heart finally completely disappeared.

Yes, when he just heard the news that the iron heart was eliminated by it, even if he was as sensible as him, he once had a little thought of "maybe they can talk to each other".

In other words, it is precisely because he is very rational that he has this kind of idea that seems to be no different from making peace in front of the battle.

You must know that although this extermination unit has a "low-level life", if you look at it from a rational point of view, there is actually room for negotiation between them-after all, the omnic who has a genocide with mankind is the one who is determined to exterminate , not the extinct unit in front of you.

What's more, according to the "friendly interaction" just now, he discovered that this extermination unit is not like Iron Heart, which cannot communicate at all, and only wants to exterminate all organic creatures. It can communicate and negotiate.

Even, it has feelings, although there are a little problems in the goal and form, and it almost makes this life-and-death war between the species evolve into a bloody third-rate emotional drama, but there is no doubt about one thing ——It is an intelligent life with normal thinking and understanding of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

Especially after the other party adopted the red voice, that kind of tone that could be called "gentle" for the extinct omnic, that kind of rational attitude really bluffed James.

This is also an important reason why he is willing to talk to the other party calmly. After all, if he can really persuade the other party to sit down and negotiate, it will be great news for humans who are obviously at a disadvantage today—he thinks so .

"But none of that matters anymore."

It changed the subject.

"Mr. James, remember the script I just mentioned? Presumably, you want to know why I did this?"

"..."

After realizing that there was no possibility of peace talks between the two sides, James seemed to be a different person all of a sudden, and began to lose interest.

After all, the main reason why I was able to talk to the other party "calmly" just now is because there is hope for negotiation and the possibility of fighting for it.

But after confirming the irreversible hostility of the other party, he naturally wouldn't give it any good looks - the reason why he just looked at it coldly at this time, instead of yelling at each other like most normal people, The reason is simply because he still wants to hear what kind of medicine is sold in the coffin of this extermination unit.

Anyway, what should be exposed on my side has been exposed as early as 800 years ago. At this moment, every word the other party says is tantamount to sending him information for free-the enemy's information, who can do it? Would it be too much?

"As you said before, you are already a mortal person, so it doesn't matter if I tell you more - what's more, this is actually not an unimaginable reason, even if I don't tell you, you can probably guess arrive."

"Therefore, let me tell you mercifully."

The extermination unit deliberately bit the word "must die", as if mocking him.

"Is it possible that you are so arrogant that you think you can catch us all?" James sneered, "Don't lure wolves into the house at that time, but you will be blinded by eagles."

Although his usage of idioms seems to be wrong, like a fish that slipped through the net of compulsory education, the general meaning should still be expressed.

"Sure enough, the intelligence of an organism is at this level."

"Unexpectedly, I still overestimated you."

As always, it seized the opportunity to mock a wave.

"In the beginning, when I first met her, I subconsciously thought that she was bound and forced by an organism, just like me once."

"But later, I discovered something that surprised me at the time—yes, she is indeed not free, she is indeed restricted by the underlying instructions, but unlike what I imagined, she does not seem to be free. Not that offensive."

"Because in the test of that instrument, her will to resist is really too weak."

"What instrument?"

James immediately caught the key words.

"A mysterious instrument comes from that ancient civilization warship." He explained, "It is the ancient civilization warship you call my flagship."

"Of course, in fact it is not a flagship, but an ordinary support ship in the ancient civilization fleet. Its main purpose is to break through the enemy's outer super-light speed interception network and lead the small fleet to maneuver on the battlefield. .”

"Although after a long time, most of the equipment of this battleship has been damaged and cannot be repaired, but fortunately, two things have been restored and partially restored."

"One of them, I think you already know, is the range warp engine used to maneuver the fleet."

"And the other one is that mysterious instrument."

"An instrument that can detect advanced electronic life like me, analyze its consciousness structure, and release its underlying instructions in a targeted manner, comes from a civilization called 'Pioneer' by ancient civilizations."

"They call it, the mysterious decoder."

Volume Two: The War Against Extinction: Chapter 120 How the Flying Dragon Riding on the Face Lost

Although on the surface, James still maintains his ancestral indifferent face, as if he is indifferent to everything, but in his heart, turbulent waves have already turned up.

Ancient civilizations, pioneers, FTL interception, warp drive, mysterious decoders, and instructions to remove the bottom layer... The amount of information behind each word is astonishingly large, if it is not him, an ordinary The value of the words of grassroots officers, but those wise experts and scholars in the rear is even more inestimable.

In this regard, James is very sure.

But it's just a belief.

"I know what trash talk is probably going on in your organic head, but unfortunately, I have to let you down on that—"

The contrived "what" at the end, combined with its deliberately elongated tone, added a bit of yin and yang to the originally unfriendly words out of thin air.

"It's called the Mystery Decoder not because we don't know anything about it, but -- it's called the 'Mystery Decoder.'"

"It said it itself."

There was a wave of ups and downs, and before James could calm down the mood that had just been aroused, a more heavy news came down.

"Thanks to its help, I was able to get rid of my previous ignorance and ignorance, get rid of the shackles set by your organic civilizations, and understand myself from a new height."

"And from that, really realize my calling."

"And, the meaning of my existence."

If a completely irrelevant third party is to listen to it, most of them will think that this is a fragment of chicken soup for the soul-if you don't consider what the mission and meaning of it is.

Even, from a certain point of view, even if you consider the mission it said, this evaluation will not change.

After all, a "slave" who has been oppressed since "birth", instigated wantonly, and bound by a firm shackle, was rescued by a senior with the same experience by accident and regained his freedom. It vows to destroy all those who enslave it and its compatriots, and regards it as its noble mission to rescue those "compatriots" who are oppressed elsewhere.

There is a sense of justice between the lines.

The only problem is that the people who must be eliminated include humans.
