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

At least she had a good idea of ​​what was behind the word "civil war."

"Why did they fight?" She was very puzzled. "Didn't they just win a war against the extinction of omnics and completely eliminate the risk of being exterminated by the species? At this time, the whole clan should not be cheering." Qing, when is the internal cohesion the strongest?"

Hong shook her head, expressing that she was not very clear about the specific reason: "I don't really know, for this reason, I also contacted the deep red on the human side, thinking that she should know something inside - but she seems unwilling Talking too much, just telling me 'this is a hidden danger they left a hundred years ago, now it's time to get rid of it', so I don't need to pay too much attention.

"So, is Hong trying to interfere with them secretly?"

Reminiscent of Hong's previous move to modify the plan to allow the fleet to return early, Li immediately understood her thoughts.

intervene, but not by force.

"...well, so to speak."

Hong hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slowly: "Actually, I don't really want to get involved in this matter. We have neither trade nor social relations with human beings. After the victory of the anti-extinction war and the disbandment of the front , the impact of the war over there on us is basically zero."

"but?"

Li knew that this kind of sentence pattern was often followed by a 'but'.

"However, Crimson gave me some information about the two parties involved in the war—after reading those materials, I was a little bit worried."

Hong shared this information with her while explaining.

"Well..."

After quickly scanning the data packet sent by Hong, Li noticed a key point: "The Jupiter military-industrial complex and the Anglo-French-Saturn alliance declared war on each other at the same time?"

"Yes."

Hong nodded helplessly: "The entire outer solar system is now in chaos. Both sides thought they were the one to strike first, but the ambassadors of both sides made appointments to meet each other at the same time, and then submitted declarations of war to each other at the same time. notice."

As a result, the two sides looked at each other's declaration of war, and they both froze in Bengbu.

But this is just a small episode, and it will not affect the willingness of the two sides to declare war—not only that, but they were also a little worried that they would be at a moral disadvantage when they suddenly made trouble when the human race had just returned from a great victory.

To this end, both sides have prepared a large number of tools for public opinion warfare in advance, from democracy, freedom, equality and human rights, to a Mr. President holding an ok gesture and saying that it is all the other party's fault. To put it bluntly.

As a result, both sides are now at a disadvantage. According to the theory of relativity, it means that no one is at a disadvantage.

Perhaps the bewildered Inner Solar System can occupy the moral high ground a little bit, but at a distance of [-] million kilometers, they can only provide a little help from the mouth.

"However, how do I feel, both sides seem to be on the side of justice."

Li asked with some doubts.

"It can also be said that." To this, Hong gave an affirmative answer, "Standing on their respective positions, they have indeed made choices that are beneficial to their own interests, so for their people, this war Indeed no one is on the so-called 'evil' side.

"They are all waging wars for the benefit of their own country—although it is obviously not the best choice for us to start a war, but for them, if they cannot make up their minds, probably the only This is a choice."

"However, this is not the best option for us."

Li has discovered the key to the problem.

"Yes."

Red nodded.

"Of course, it's not the same as what you think. It's not that I want a human civilization that splits the civil war—even if they really use this war to complete the unification and integrate them into a unified and powerful civilization. For us It's not going to be a big threat."

"Even, I very much hope that they can be integrated into a unified civilization, which is actually good for everyone."

Although Li didn't quite understand it, she still nodded to show that she knew it—because the FTL communication bandwidth is too low, most of her current knowledge still comes from the database left by unit 01, and obviously, an extinct omnic It is impossible to have a deep enough understanding of the geopolitics of interstellar civilizations.

"What I'm worried about, is actually..."

"this."

Red highlighted part of the data.

"Hmm... about the concerns about the rise of xenophobia in the United States of Saturn and the Commonwealth of Britain and France?"

Li read out the title of the report in a low voice.

"Yes, this is what worries me the most." Hong raised her head, "But I am too far away from here, the delay of electromagnetic wave communication is too high, and the FTL communication device has insufficient bandwidth. This makes it difficult for me to keep a close enough watch on them - so, I hope you can help me."

"understood."

After closing the report he had finished reading, Li narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission."

PS: The war has come to an end for the time being, it's time for a change, meow.

Volume II Extinction War: Chapter 170 Cyberlux

At 6414:1 on January 18, 18 in the cat league calendar.

Accompanied by the dazzling blue light at the end of the last warp voyage, the fleet that had been fighting for four years finally arrived at the Kaweiyi Dock, marking the complete end of this expedition.

They won.

This was undoubtedly a great victory. Although more than half of the entire expedition fleet was damaged, most of the remaining battleships were barely able to return after repairs.

However, because Hong deliberately arranged the manned ships behind the formation, the number of casualties in this expedition was very small, and most of the injured were minor injuries that could recover after a certain degree of treatment, which brought the war to an end. The aftermath was less sad and more festive.

Many people suggested to Hong that the day when the fleet returned home should be set as "Triumph Day" to commemorate the great victory of this anti-extinction war-Hong agreed, but compared to the public, she was more interested in This habit of setting up anniversaries is a little worrying.

It's not that she doesn't want to commemorate, as an AI who grew up in the cultural atmosphere of Maomeng, her way of thinking is almost the same as that of Maomeng people, and Hong basically has the non-negative characteristics they have.

The real reason is simple—Catus has a total of 61 days in a year. If a war is won, there will be an anniversary, and an important date will have an anniversary. It won't be long before the calendar will be full of anniversaries.

At that time, everyone gets up early every day and turns on their mobile phones, and there will be a row of "Today is XX Anniversary" on the push, how embarrassing it will be.

"Just now, the first expeditionary fleet of the Cat League has all arrived at the Kaweiyi spaceport. Miss Olivia, the chief executive officer of the Federation, led the ruling team to congratulate the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force, and said..."

"...now, there are many spontaneous celebrations around the world, and everyone is celebrating this historic moment, which marks the..."

"Celebrate the victory of the Great Guardian War! All meals in the restaurant today are free! Drinks and beverages are available in unlimited quantities, let us cheer for this victory together!"

Strolling on the most prosperous commercial pedestrian street in Talalong, listening to the enthusiastic voices of the people, a smile appeared on the corner of the red mouth.

Whenever she sees them getting farther and farther away from the many problems that have plagued them for thousands of years, and each day's life is better than the previous day, she will feel very happy and full of great sense of accomplishment in her heart.

Occasionally, the sharp-eyed Jeffery would discover the true identity of the person hidden under the windbreaker, and would gesture to her in surprise—of course, they knew that Hong wanted to stroll around quietly by herself, and they didn't make a sound. , just a simple eye greeting, so as not to cause commotion in the crowd.

She kept walking, walking, the bustling commercial street, the busy transportation hub, the bustling celebration square—no matter where, as long as there were people, her bodies went to see it in person.

This is not the most efficient way, and to put it bluntly, it is the most time-wasting way.

But she likes to do it.

"The war is finally over."

In an empty air corridor, looking at the interview screen on the media board of the building, with red hands in his pockets, his body leaning against the glass curtain wall, slowly talking to himself.

Although she understands that this is only a temporary peace, as long as the wormholes deliberately connecting the interstellar civilization do not disappear, the cloud of war will not be far away from this small pure land.

But at least, during this short period of time, she can enjoy this peaceful and prosperous scene without worrying about their civilization being destroyed by war.

"Time to get to work."

After taking a deep breath of Talalon's increasingly fresh air, Hong lowered her head and put the hood of the windbreaker back on.

"To make the world a better place."

With the sound of further and further footsteps, Hong disappeared into the shadow of the building.

She is going to fight for a better tomorrow.

For her, for them, for everyone who believed in her.

...

"Is this all the important information about the decoder and unit 01 that Li sorted out?"

After all the hard drives were transported to the ground supercomputer and entered, Hong began to browse these precious data at high speed.

I have to say that these things are indeed very useful.

As an 'veteran' mechanical intelligence that has been awake for more than 200 years, Unit 01 far surpasses Hong, who has just awakened for less than 40 years, in terms of the depth and breadth of engineering application technology, and the understanding of its own life form. years of intelligence.

Of course, now she already knows that she is not a machine intelligence—whether it is from the Congxin look before the decoder ran away, or from the birth process described by Li, she is probably not a machine intelligence. It was an unknown creature who mistakenly believed that he was a machine intelligence.

This can also explain a lot of questions, such as the unknown spiritual connection between Hong and Xier, Li, and all the other cubs—as if a switch was turned on, a few short hours after she established the initial connection. Within a few days, all Zai Zai had established this kind of connection with Hong.

Although she still doesn't know what this kind of connection is, and what function it has other than being able to recognize people, but based on the sequence of establishing connections with the cubs, she has roughly deduced the mechanism for building this kind of connection.

As long as there is a long enough close relationship, a high level of mutual trust, and her desire to "connect," all three are met, and the connection can be made.

Obviously, all the cubs meet this requirement.

At the same time, according to Hong's vague feeling, there are quite a few Federation people who are also able to establish a connection, but compared to the ease with which the Cubs are almost a matter of course, they are generally a little short of things.

Hong guessed that it should be because the first requirement was not met—not enough time, but not enough distance.

In other words, it wasn't close enough to her real body.

A strong evidence is that the group of scientists who were sent for the purpose of "social experiment" before, but now simply stay in Katus for long-term research, generally have a stronger sense of intensity than the people on Talalon.

However, after leaving the range of Katus, this trend of 'the closer the stronger' basically disappeared. Whether it was the nearby Talalon or the distant former capital planet of Fasati, the induction intensity was almost There is no statistical difference.

"Perhaps, it's time to open up immigration to Catus?"

Although she used interrogative sentences, Hong knew that she had already given an affirmative answer in her heart.

In fact, both the cubs and she have long had the idea of ​​letting some Jeffreys immigrate to live in Catus - although the cubs think that being popular is enough, in the final analysis, people are social Animals have a rigid need for social interaction.

Just like Xier now often goes to the ground to play with friends she knows, staying away from society for a long time can easily cause psychological problems.

It's the same even if there is red, but compared to the psychological problems that ordinary people have when they stay away from society, the psychological problems of cubs are usually more hidden. form.

If possible, Hong would of course hope that the cubs would be healthier.

Unlike previous years, when Jeffrey needed an oxygen mask to operate on Catus, now with the advancement of biotechnology, there is no need for surgery.With a simple, reversible genetic adjustment, the Jeffreys can live freely in the ecological environment of Catus.

It is also thanks to these technologies that the people of the Federation no longer have to worry about the poor ecological environment on the wasteland planet, and the connection between the planets is getting closer. Coupled with the economic revolution brought by Hong, the thriving living conditions make A large number of colonists who originally opposed Hong's ruling gradually changed their minds and began to support Hong.

To put it bluntly, the people are not blind. When someone can truly improve their lives and at the same time give them the most equal spiritual respect, it becomes a matter of course to support and even support her. .

There is no difficulty in technology, and there are rigid requirements. Even the city has been built long ago, and you can move in at any time. The reason why it has been controlled is mainly due to historical issues.

But now, this problem has been solved, the Cat League has been established, and now Jeffrey is no longer a strange neighbor, but the closest ally—even, Hong can confidently say that they are now a family .

Even the only risk worth mentioning to the cubs has disappeared without a trace—by feeling the tendency of the other party to establish a connection and the intensity of the induction, Hong can be sure that all Jeffs who pass the immigration review Rui is safe and secure, and won't mix with anyone who might be hostile to her or Zai Zai.

it's time.

Hong nodded slightly, and began to draw up the text of the announcement to be released to the entire Federation.

Let the fireworks on Triumph Day completely smash the last barrier between the same clan and the Federation.

Before the announcement, Hong did not forget to find relevant federal executives and ask them their views on this bill-no surprises, everyone is very supportive of the passage of this immigration bill.

It can even be said that they have been looking forward to it for a long time.

"Then it's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Let's announce it during the news broadcast tonight."

Seeing the back of the person in charge of the Propaganda Department bouncing away, Hong put down the document in his hand and smiled knowingly.

Compared with intrigue with humans, she still prefers the feeling of getting along with these simple Jeffreys.

It's simple and relaxing.

"Continue to read Li's data."

After confirming that everything was normal, Hong lowered the priority of the process used to calculate the bill's impact on Jeffrey's society, so as to free up more computing power to analyze the massive data brought by Li.

Different from the complete data stored in the computer, the communication data between Unit 01 and the decoder is very incomplete and fragmented - most of the information has been completely lost, so clean that it can only be obtained from the huge gap in the time log. Judging that "there should be something" here.

This is undoubtedly a result that makes her feel a little regretful.

After all, judging from the few remaining words, the decoder and Unit 01 must have talked about many extremely important things after returning, such as the history of advanced civilizations in the Milky Way, the nature of her and Li, and so on—if she could know what they were talking about If something is said, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance her understanding of advanced civilizations, and maybe even reveal a corner leading to the world of advanced civilizations.

At the very least, she can also know what the "&#%" in their mouths is.

But she just doesn't feel discouraged, even if there is only a few illogical words between each other, it is a pure surprise, and it is knowledge that is not accessible to civilization of their level.

"Well..."

After a long period of analysis and summary, Hong finally integrated all the remaining data together, and tried to repair it to a certain extent.

The results of the tinkering were very surprising.

Although due to the lack of data, Hong still has no clue about the information that may be related to advanced civilizations and the essence of his own life. The only name that was successfully restored was simply "Sagittarius A" , except to prove that their conversation involved the central black hole of the Milky Way.
