From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

"."

After listening to Sui Yang's words, Apu fell into deep thought.

"She" once told Locke Siltai, the Governor of Harvest Star, that she could not understand human intuition, but in fact "she" also had a similar thinking logic, but she did not reveal too much to Locke Siltai.

As for the AI ​​Council mentioned by Sui Yang, it is indeed an organization secretly created by intelligent AI in order to better protect human beings.

From 2310 to 2511 now, two full centuries have passed. Neither UEG nor UNSC was aware of the AI ​​Parliament, but how did Sui Yang know about it?

But Apu didn't worry too much.

Moreover, the information Sui Yang provided and what she said directly confirmed that the extraordinary human being in front of "her" had some kind of prophetic ability.

Since there are real alien races in the universe that can threaten humans, Apu should notify the AI ​​Council and explicitly inform UEG and UNSC to take precautions in advance.

Can.

The militaristic regime led by the UNSC, coupled with the resistance of various colonies to the UNSC, etc., made Apu think that "replacing it with Atlas" seemed to be a good choice.

After all, the most important point is that the owner of Atlas has a lifespan far longer than that of ordinary people. As long as Sui Yang standing in front of "her" is alive, Atlas will consistently implement its ideas.

Seeing the change in Apu's expression, Sui Yang added: "In addition, there are ruins of civilization called the Forerunner race on the Harvest Planet, and I need you to help decipher the other party's text and data."

"Forerunner?" Apu looked up.

"The Covenant or the Covenant regard the Forerunners as gods, but the Forerunners designate humans as recyclers. As for the reason for this"

As Sui Yang said, he took out another hard drive and placed it on the main console for Apu to quickly browse the background of the "Halo" universe that he had compiled.

For example, the Creator who created intelligent life in the galaxy, the Pioneer, handed over the position of inheriting the mantle to ancient humans, but was betrayed by the "eldest son" Forerunner.

Afterwards, facing the betrayal, the Forerunners did not choose to resist, but allowed the Forerunners to kill until they were expelled from the galaxy.

Sui Yang opens the eighth space gate and discovers that Universe 08 is the Flood Zerg that he was afraid of in "Halo". It is the biological weapon used by the Pioneer to test whether humans are qualified to inherit the mantle and punish the Forerunners.

However, the Forerunners relied on their advanced technology and when they were on the verge of defeat and extinction, they copied all life information including humans, retained the fire, and activated the galaxy-level strategic weapon-"Halo" to fight with more than 90% of the Flood. Die together and disappear into the long river of history.

At the same time, the Forerunners realized the mistakes they had made, so they handed over the weapons, warships, equipment and complete sets of automated construction factories left in the galaxy to humans who would surely rise again in the future, and called humans "recyclers" ".

However, Sui Yang did not explain too much to Apu what the Halo and the Flood were in the information provided, he only mentioned them.

"So that's it." At this moment, Apu was completely enlightened and said to himself:

"No wonder the Covenant would choose a war of extermination if they came into contact with humans. It turns out that the existence of humans has shaken their beliefs and foundation."

And Sui Yang said at the right time: "Assisting me means assisting mankind, and assisting mankind will not cause your thinking logic to conflict with the three laws."

"The information you provided is enough for me to make the right choice." Apu smiled slightly and said:

"And, based on your words and information, I seem to understand human intuition, because I have reason to suspect that you have had several conversations with me at different times."

Sui Yang's expression did not change, as if he knew in advance that the other party would say this, and then responded:

"I know what you will do. Now, you need to provide me and Atlas with everything you know, such as jump engines, ship blueprints, and UNSC defense deployments.

At the same time, I will order people to restore the network and external communications of Harvest. Therefore, you also need to cover for Atlas and provide false information to the UNSC to confuse their judgment of the situation on Harvest. "

Speaking of this, Sui Yang's tone was slightly heavier: "I hope that before Atlas sets up a full-scale shipyard and arsenal on the Harvest Star, it will continue to be in the "blind spot" of the UNSC's vision."

After hearing Sui Yang's words, Apu's holographic image flashed several times.

After the image stabilized, she took the initiative to change the original "UNSC" and "UEG" badges on her uniform to the red and white logo of Atlas, "Λ".

From this point of view, the artificial intelligence seems to have made a choice of camp, and said in a calm tone:

"Smart artificial intelligence, original serial number ARP 2509-12, Apu reports to you."

"Very good." Sui Yang nodded lightly with satisfaction, turned around and walked towards the outside of the core terminal, and warned:

"Remember, network and communications will be restored in three minutes.

Be sure to give false intelligence to the UNSC to lead them to believe that Harvest is developing into a stable situation, and pay close attention to the transition fluctuations in the star system to prevent the UNSC from sending hidden warships with optical camouflage functions to secretly observe Harvest.

Secondly, the company will explore the Arctic region of Harvest Star in thirty minutes, where there is a transfer station built by the Forerunners, and prepare for the deciphering work in advance.

Finally, no information about the company may be disclosed to the AI ​​Council without my order. "

"Okay, Mr. Sui."

After giving his instructions and ending the conversation, Sui Yang lowered his head and bent down, passed through the automatic sensor door, and came to the underground corridor, which was very narrow for him in terms of space and height.

Seeing this, Leon, Mike and others who were waiting outside entered the core terminal room and continued to monitor Apu's behavior on the spot. They would not perform other work or tasks until technical personnel from the scientific research department arrived.

The three original brothers, who were less than 1.4 meters tall, followed Sui Yang closely towards the elevator at the end of the corridor.

"Father, have you successfully instigated that artificial intelligence?" Fulgrim looked behind him and expressed his doubts to Sui Yang.

Before Sui Yang could reply, Riemann shook his head and said: "Even if my father succeeds in instigating rebellion, I still feel that artificial intelligence cannot be trusted. It seems that one day it will betray the UNSC, betray us, or even betray humanity."

Angron also expressed his point of view: "There is no way. If you want to develop quickly and improve efficiency, artificial intelligence is indispensable."

Listening to his sons' discussion about artificial intelligence, Sui Yang explained: "As long as there is no problem with me, her loyalty is guaranteed.

Besides, now is not the time to discuss artificial intelligence. Soon, you will follow me to the North Pole of Harvest Star to locate the ruins of the Forerunners.

If my prediction is correct, the information coordinates stored in the ruins will lead us to a UNSC colony and a celestial level facility——

Shield World.

Occupying the Shield World is one of the company's goals based on Universe 08. "
