Chapter 201 "Must Win"
As the old saying goes.
A man can't say no.
For Yi, this sentence has the same effect.
"Don't worry, we will win!"
The moment the electronic synthesized sound rang out, a detection drone in the holographic projection began to slowly lower its altitude and attached its fuselage to one of the light prisms emitting dark red light.
At the same time, countless codes and numbers that Chen Fan couldn't understand began to appear in the holographic projection.
It looks quite high-end.
But in fact...
According to Yi, these codes and numbers have basically no practical meaning, and their function is roughly equivalent to the screen saver program in the era of big-headed computers.
The main purpose is to be cool and good-looking.
[Data transmission port has been opened, and the system environment is being detected...]
[The environment has been confirmed, and the self-compiled system is being generated...]
[Firewall program has been detected and is being cracked...]
Compared with those incomprehensible codes and numbers, the brief prompt in the center of the holographic projection is the most critical information.
Invading an alien operating system that has never been touched may be a hellish task for ordinary programmers, but for artificial intelligence born in computers, it is as simple as visiting a neighbor's house -
in theory, it should be like this.
Time passed by little by little, and the progress bar in the holographic projection was stuck at 20%.
"This machine seems to have encountered some trouble."
Yi's electronic synthesized voice was no longer as agile as before, and even had a bit of stiffness: "[Source] has added a lot of restrictions to this optical computer."
"You can simply understand it as adding a more complicated door lock."
"And, for some reason, this machine feels that there is something wrong with the underlying operating system of this optical computer..."
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Tell a joke: "Must Win"
"..." After a moment of silence, Yi said again, "Simply put, the underlying operating system of this optical computer is not friendly to artificial intelligence."
"This... is there any problem?"
"In a sense, a good underlying operating system can never resist the existence of artificial intelligence." A stiff electronic synthesized voice came from the starship cockpit, "The reason is very simple. A computer environment that matches artificial intelligence can often bring out the energy efficiency of the hardware more perfectly."
"Just like the relationship between fish and water, if the water quality is poor to a certain extent, there will naturally be no live fish in the water."
"The underlying operating system of this optical computer is built based on this principle. In order to repel artificial intelligence, it even greatly affects the effectiveness of the hardware system."
"This method of hurting yourself 1000 and hurting the enemy 800..." Yi quickly gave his own evaluation, "It's stupid, but also very useful."
Chen Fan's eyes moved slightly, and a fleeting obscure thought immediately emerged in his mind.
Roca civilization... Why do you do this?
"The difficulties this machine is facing now..."
"For example, you want to visit your neighbor's house, but you find that the neighbor's house is full of animal traps, and there is no place to stay, and a very difficult door lock is installed on the door."
Chen Fan blinked his eyes, and his expression gradually became weird.
It can be said to be very vivid.
"So, is there any way to solve it quickly?"
"Of course there is."
The electronic synthesized voice came again: "If the soft method doesn't work, then use the hard method. This machine can rely on computing power to forcibly break through the opponent's firewall."
"Then why are you still standing there?" Chen Fan looked at the smart terminal on his right hand in surprise, "Why didn't you use such a good method earlier?"
"...The computing power required for brute force cracking is a bit large, and the computing power of this machine is a bit insufficient. After all, this machine is just a portable smart terminal."
Chen Fan: "..."
"However, this machine can call on the computing power of the shipborne main brain, and its computing power is much greater than this machine." Yi quickly added, "But this operation requires the captain's authority..."
Chen Fan waved his hand helplessly, and temporarily opened the computing power allocation authority of the shipborne main brain to the smart terminal.
"Okay."
Yi's voice instantly became more lively: "Give me another minute!"
Before the voice fell, the progress bar that was originally stuck at 20% began to move forward again.
Compared with the original, the advancement speed this time was obviously much faster!
Of course, it is not without side effects - the occupancy rate of the core processor of the shipboard main brain instantly soared to 99%, and some insignificant aesthetic functions have been automatically turned off.
...
One minute later.
When the progress bar in the holographic projection reached 100%, Yi's electronic synthesized voice became smart again: "Invasion successful."
Looking at the three prismatic light columns in the projection that gradually changed from dark red to light blue, Chen Fan subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief:
"Is there any valuable information?"
As soon as the voice fell, a dense file directory quickly emerged in the huge holographic projection in the starship cockpit.
"This is a mausoleum." Yi gave an answer, "So the optical brain basically stores the basic information of the dead."
"This machine has made a simple query."
"The position of the Roca people in the eight pyramids is a bit like that of researchers, and they are considered to be Roca people of relatively high status." Researchers
again!
Is this unknown advanced civilization in conflict with the researchers?
Recalling the researchers who died of madness, Chen Fan's face darkened instantly.
"When did they die?"
"According to the scan data and the log information of the optical computer, the death time of these Roca people is about..."
The voice paused slightly: "600,000 years ago."
"600,000 years, that's one..." Chen Fan nodded subconsciously, and then suddenly woke up, "Wait, only 600,000 years?"
In Chen Fan's previous expectation, the time when these Roca people died must have happened at least tens of millions of years ago, not to mention hundreds of millions of years?
What can 600,000 years do?
In the Blue Star civilization where he lived in his previous life, there were even traces of ancient human activities 600,000 years ago!
In other words, these Roca people once lived with the ancient humans 600,000 years ago?
If this is true, the prosperous era must have left records of those Roca people!
"How is this possible?!"
Chen Fan questioned it at the first time, and the reason was naturally that the attitude of the prosperous era towards the Roca ruins was quite unfamiliar.
"This machine thinks that nothing is impossible."
Yi put forward the opposite opinion: "For advanced civilizations, there are too many means to accelerate the evolution of life."
"Unlike natural evolution, with external interference, it only takes tens of thousands of years for a rocky planet with a suitable geographical location to evolve into the current Varela civilization."
"Of course, it is definitely not a 1:1 restoration. There are too many uncontrollable accidents in the evolution of life, but you should understand what this machine means."
Chen Fan couldn't help but fall into silence.
Of course, he understood what Yi meant, but...
why?
What is the reason for doing this?
How could a seventh-level or even eighth-level civilization perish so aggrievedly on such a small planet?
Could it be that this is the mother planet of the Roca civilization?
Countless confusions flashed through Chen Fan's mind.
The love and hatred of the Roca civilization can be put aside for now. The most important thing now is the matter between the Varela civilization and [Source].
So, he raised his hand and rubbed his stiff face: "Let's not talk about this for now. Have you found any traces of [Source]?"
"Not yet." Yi gave an honest answer, "[Source] is very careful. It cleaned up all traces of its activities before leaving."
Chen Fan frowned immediately.
If it is not in this Roca ruins, then where did [Source] go?
The other Roca ruins?
Chen Fan felt that this possibility was not very high - according to the information currently available, only this Roca ruins has so many intelligent mechanical equipment and armed forces around it.
[Source] There is no reason to take the initiative to choose a worse place.
So...
"There should be other ruins on this planet."
Chen Fan cast his eyes on Yi: "Yi, fully monitor this ruins to see if it has any data exchange with other ruins."
A few minutes later, the electronic synthesized voice sounded again.
"Found it!"
Lines of information quickly emerged in the holographic projection: "This relic does have information exchange with a superior relic. The exchange frequency is very low and the content is very brief. This machine almost ignored it."
"It's just... the data exchange is very hidden, and this machine cannot confirm the specific coordinates of the superior relic for the time being."
Thinking of the activity data of the intelligent machines in the past fifty years provided by the resistance headquarters, Chen Fan suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Why did the density of intelligent machines in the equatorial region begin to decline year by year? Because [Source] changed the position of its main program again.
Then why is the distribution of intelligent machines on the surface of Varela more and more even, without any focus area?
The answer is already obvious.
At this time, [Source] is not on the ground of Varela at all, and she does not need the protection of ground intelligent machines!
"... In the sky."
Chen Fan raised his head and looked at the sky outside the porthole that had long been restored, and murmured in a low voice.
"The superior relic is 40,000 kilometers above the surface!"
This is also quite consistent with the positioning of the relic in front of him-the mausoleum is above the ground, and the real Roca ruins should naturally be above the planet!
Chen Fan sat up straight, his mind moved slightly, and he gave an order directly to the shipboard computer.
"Varilla, lift off!"
The next second, the starship that was originally hovering in front of Roca's mausoleum suddenly rose from the ground in a posture that violated the laws of physics. After knocking a hole in the re-gathering black tide, it rushed straight to the vast sky!
Looking at the increasingly pale sun outside the porthole, Chen Fan's eyes were filled with excitement.
The 40,000-kilometer curse...
Let him break it!
Chen Fan's mind moved slightly.
[Space shield has been activated.]
[Deflector shield has been activated.]
[...]
As the rigid electronic synthesis sound of the shipboard main brain sounded continuously in the cockpit, layers of nested light gradually appeared around the [Varilla] that was rushing straight into the sky at a 90-degree angle.
Do you understand the value of stacking armor and buffs before charging? ! !
