Now that Huo Yushen is gone, Xia Chujian can make full use of Qilu's abilities.
However, Xia Chujian still reminded Qilu, saying, "Huo Shuai said that the control system there is a subroutine, not the main program."
"And it has a one-way connection to the main program, so it can't be traced back."
Qi Lu said, "I heard it too. I was just looking to see if there were any other clues."
Qi Lu obviously has means that Huo Yushen does not have.
Because it is mechanical intelligence itself.
The subroutine here cannot be traced backwards from the bottom up, but it can allow Qilu to continuously send out signals, and through the feedback that is intercepted again and again, preliminarily determine the location of the mother system!
Qi Lu said in surprise: "Master, the central control system is not in this factory area!"
"Instead, it's in the outer area surrounding the factory wall!"
Xia Chujian's eyes widened: "This is really sneaky!"
"So, if someone wants to find this central control system and can't find it, even if they destroy the entire factory in anger, they still won't be able to damage it at all!"
Qi Lu's childish voice echoed with a shared hatred: "Master is right! Too cunning!"
"Qilu will not allow the existence of a mechanical intelligence more cunning than Qilu!"
"Master! Let's destroy it!"
Xia Chujian: “…”
You know you're a thief...
It’s hard to describe Xia Chujian’s feelings.
She didn't say anything more, followed Qi Lu's guidance, and came out of the hatchery area in stealth.
She flew over the high wall and stood in the outer area of the wall.
Qilu sent the scene it had previously detected to Xia Chujian's eyepiece display.
Xia Chujian returned to the first factory building and found a crawler track control system.
She carefully placed the mechanical finger on it.
Qi Lu found the port and quickly entered the control system here.
The track control system here is indeed connected to a subsystem of the central control system.
But as Huo Yushen said, this subsystem has a one-way connection with the main system, and it can only be done from top to bottom, not from bottom to top.
It really can't be traced back.
Now Qi Lu gradually projected the situation detected below onto Xia Chujian's eyepiece display screen.
Xia Chujian saw it clearly.
The Zerg's central control system is also a ring structure, so it can circle the wall and enclose the entire wall.
At first glance, it looks like a large control system composed of many hosts connected together.
But if you look more closely, each host is emitting a faint purple light. It doesn't look like a machine, but like... a mimicking insect!
Xia Chujian's heart suddenly started pounding.
She had seen insect mimicry.
For example, some mantises and butterflies can mimic a dry leaf.
The larvae of certain insects can mimic a stone or gravel.
There is another kind of insect whose larvae are even more amazing. They can imitate the appearance and eye spots of a certain kind of snake, and even scare away natural enemies!
But she had never seen an insect that could mimic a machine!
Of course, if you change your mindset, why not?
Since it is mimicry, this "state" can be objects of various forms, including but not limited to those existing in nature, as well as creations of intelligent creatures, right?
Machines are human creations.
So it makes sense that these Zerg can simulate the appearance of machines, right?
Xia Chujian pondered this and began to ask Qilu, "...This thing coiled in a circle, like a long snake, is it the Zerg's central control system? Is it controlled by mechanical intelligence?"
Qi Lu said, "Master, this thing actually has two layers."
"The outer layer is the Zerg's mimicry. It doesn't look like a mechanical host."
"But beneath that outer layer, there's a real computer mainframe."
"Qilu has already gone in and communicated with the mechanical intelligence there. Unfortunately, the Zerg's security is very good. Qilu connected through the subsystem and can only access the peripheral programs of the main machine's mechanical intelligence."
"There's still no way to access the main program inside."
Xia Chujian was greatly relieved when he heard that the mimicry was just a disguise.
I’m so hungry!
If the Zerg can really mimic a computer host and have the function of mechanical intelligence, that would be incredible!
Xia Chujian felt that he had no choice but to retreat!
I can’t afford to play it, I can’t afford to play it, I really can’t afford to play it!
Now that he heard that the layer was just a camouflage on the outside, probably to protect the host inside, Xia Chujian felt relieved.
She said, "Then how can we allow Qilu to access the main program inside?"
Qi Lu then said, "Master, those mechanical mimic Zerg on the periphery are probably the Zerg known as the 'Guardians'."
"Because Qilu detected that the energy it emitted was of the same type as the energy that scanned the owner before."
"It actually emits a bio-energy pulse that can mark the target."
"It's now continuously emitting bio-energy pulses, probably to detect what's happening outside."
Xia Chujian: “…”
She was silent for a moment, then said, "I didn't feel that slippery, disgusting, sticky feeling. What's going on? Have the guardians here been upgraded?"
Qi Lu said: "It's not an upgrade. The 'Guardians' here should be of a higher level than the 'Guardians' in the airport above the South Eleventh Star."
"The scanning and detection energy it uses is a bio-energy pulse. This thing is colorless and odorless, and cannot be sensed by the target, but it is also extremely fast."
