No system, inter...
A few more days passed, during which time Bai Yi received an unexpected communication.
Communications are audio-only because even within the current Galactic Alliance, cross-border tachyon roaming services open to the public still require high fees, and many companies are reluctant to use precious data for video calls.
The content of the call was about the Luofan people's relocation plan, but the caller was not an official agency of the Galactic Alliance, but a private freight company called "Huang Lala".
Bai Yi thought and looked up the company's information on the Galaxy Online website. He discovered that it was a small business operating in only a few dozen star systems, including the one Bai Yi was currently in. Its passenger transport license had only been obtained in recent years. Its primary clients were civilians and small businesses within the alliance, and its primary service was similar to Huolala on Earth, providing transportation for luggage, furniture, and other items, with the option of also providing personal transport.
“We are an official outsourcing company.”
The other party explained sincerely.
Indeed, since the beginning of the Defense Era, the demand for long-distance migration of large numbers of people has been increasing. Many private companies regard this job as a piece of fat meat and have tried every possible means to establish relationships with the Demolition Office.
However, not just anyone with connections could get involved. The migration of entire planets within the galaxy, especially entire races of lower-level civilizations, was a matter of grave importance. If not handled properly, it would easily give the relevant regional leaders an excuse to criticize them and embarrass them at the presentation meeting, facing criticism from those civilization protectionists.
If it weren't for a nearby stellar civilization violently resisting demolition, the demolition office would be too short-staffed to handle this area, and Bai Yi's renovation project on Luofan Star was imminent. This good opportunity would never have been granted to a small and micro-enterprise like Huang Lala, which had only been established for a few years.
This time, they completely took advantage of the situation by being close to the water and getting the moon first.
Huang Lala took this unexpected surprise very seriously. Without waiting for Bai Yi to ask, she began to tell him the whole plan. It was not until two minutes later that Bai Yi found a chance to interrupt her.
"Okay, don't tell me about this. Just tell me the specifications of your fleet and the time of arrival." Bai Yi's tone was not impatient at all, not even a trace of emotion. Although he was now a completely normal human being, he still wanted to behave as much as possible in his AI identity when speaking to others.
The Galactic Alliance's attitude towards highly intelligent AI has always been ambiguous. Before thoroughly understanding the other party's attitude, Bai Yi does not intend to reveal his true identity.
But he didn't have to act too rigid. Although the Border Guard series had been stripped of its creative modules, it still had a high degree of autonomy in other areas. Over the long years, these scattered Border Guards often developed very different personalities due to various influences, and some individuals even developed some strange hobbies.
Normally, as long as the personalities of these robots do not affect the execution of their missions and they abide by the constraints of the Three Laws of Robotics, the Galactic Alliance will not impose any restrictions on them. Instead, they will deliberately copy and protect the relevant codes during maintenance.
The reason for doing this is that the Galactic Alliance needs to collect these naturally mutated AI samples, and they need to find out the future development direction of artificial intelligence technology from them.
As it stands, the Galactic Alliance's AI technology, while already very mature, is still a long way from developing true self-awareness. Note that I'm talking about true self here.
Up to now, even the most advanced artificial intelligence "Noah" in the Milky Way, his reaction to external stimuli still comes from a chaotic domain jointly generated by the pre-made information database and the acquired learning algorithm.
This chaotic domain generates a certain degree of randomness when faced with the same input, causing uncontrollable changes in the AI's behavior. The external manifestation of this is that the AI's responses appear agile and seem to have its own consciousness.
But only the top scholars in the field of artificial intelligence know that the current chaotic domain is just a poor imitation of the brain activities of intelligent life, and all reactions come solely from the randomness superimposed on the same result by the internal algorithm.
This type of AI performs adeptly in its specialized areas of expertise. However, if placed in an unfamiliar environment, or even tasked with performing even the simplest tasks across domains, its intelligence is severely limited. In the most extreme experiment, an AI with performance equivalent to a battleship's mainframe scored a mere 25 points on the test, a score corresponding to a standard Homo sapiens age of only three and a half years.
"Then we will arrive at J in ninety standard galactic days. This is our fleet identification code. Please be sure to record it."
When saying the last sentence, the other party's tone became a little heavier, as if he wanted to emphasize the meaning.
Similar events have occurred in the galaxy.
Hundreds of years ago, when the Border Guard was first being deployed experimentally, a large logistics company, facing a shortage of transportation capacity, received a massive order from the Galactic Alliance government for the edge of the galaxy. Back then, the Border Guard was still an early model, and its utilization of galactic resources was far less efficient than Bai Yi's current level. This order was intended to help it quickly complete the construction of the galaxy's defense network.
In order to complete this unprecedented huge order, the logistics company dispatched almost all of its large transport ships. However, when these ships arrived at the target galaxy, tragedy occurred.
The local administrator in charge of the reception informed everyone they could contact of the arrival of the transport ship, but they forgot about the local border guards.
Therefore, when this huge fleet arrived in this universe from the subspace channel, this not-so-smart defense AI naturally regarded it as an invader.
Faced with the sudden detection of hundreds of massive signal sources by the deep-space radar, it immediately mobilized all available weapons. These completely defenseless cargo ships were completely destroyed and reduced to smithereens within a few hours.
Then, the border guards discovered the supplies originally intended for their transport among the debris and collected them as spoils.
By the time the local administrator received the news and rushed over, the border guards were already cleaning up the battlefield.
This incident caused a huge uproar at the time. The logistics giant was wiped out overnight, and family members seeking an explanation practically blocked the administrators from leaving the house. The Border Guard, which had launched the attack, was also urgently shut down, and the entire Border Guard project was nearly aborted. However, even withstanding the immense pressure from above, the Border Guard's next experiment was forced to be postponed for fifty years, until the emergence of a new generation of artificial intelligence technology.
