Chapter 15 Drifting Play
*
And now what is the innocent person who has been abandoned doing?
At this time, the innocent Su Xi was floating in the center of the war with an AI UFO infected with malicious programs. In the scene where the enemy's ion cannons were bombarding each other, with a serious lack of driving energy, after several rounds of simulation calculations, it attached itself to a piece of wreckage separated from the enemy's main ship Hera after being bombed, and it was difficult to avoid the artillery fire.
Yes, at this time, the main ship Hera of the 'Deathwing', which was ranked among the top three pirate forces in the Siren Galaxy and used suicidal terror to threaten others, had been destroyed by the Imperial Mecha Forces and 68% of its external weapon systems had been severely damaged, just eight minutes ago.
A piece of destroyed wreckage was flying towards the escape capsule's path at high speed, but it was able to avoid it thanks to the AI UFO's predictive calculations when it detected that the Deathwing's main ship, the Hera, had been hit.
Yes, driven by the command of the malicious program K31, the escape capsule carrying Su Xi was heading towards the direction of the mobile boat "Death Wing" Hera that came to pick her up.
Su Xi closed her eyes, not looking at the enemy mobile boat that had been bombed to pieces. The boat that had received K31's success signal and came to pick up the escape capsule happened to be within the range of the artillery fire, and the ejected cockpit was now scattered on the wreckage of the Hera. The ejected pilot was wearing a spacewalk suit with a clear "Death Wing" logo, dragging weapons and scanners, and bounced a few times, probably wanting to complete the mission with a strong will, but was hit by a stray bullet from nowhere!
There was no blood, only a charred half-body that slowly passed by the transparent window of the escape capsule where Su Xi was.
Su Xi kept her eyes open, but did not close them. Her retina was displaying the results of various calculations shared with the UFO, and the data stream was flowing roughly in her immature mental field.
Blood slowly seeped out of the eardrum at the corner of the eye, and physiological tears secreted out, diluting the blood, and a faint pink meandered down from the corner of the eye.
The AI UFO used the life support system of the newly integrated escape capsule to issue a warning voice:
"Brain capacity is overloaded by 30%. It is recommended to disconnect the link."
"No." His lips moved and he uttered a word softly.
"…The current alarm threshold has reached 53%…It will be automatically cut off when it reaches the upper limit of 60%."
"Turn it off." The two words were uttered with difficulty in a hoarse voice.
On the one hand, she was enduring mental pain and pressure that could not be described in words, and on the other hand, she was experiencing a brand new life. The novelty and desire made her excited and filled her heart, enough to be willing to pay the corresponding painful price.
Su Xi ignored the voice prompts of the life support system. She only focused on the information exchange between the living beings. A light pink color was drawn on her face like a liquid brush, like a mysterious winding tattoo. In the flickering light of the war, the brown-haired omega had sweat on his forehead, and his delicate pale profile showed an inorganic indifference.
"Ms. Su Xi, you don't have the highest authority, so you can't format my main program, and you can't uninstall the symbiotic BUG program K31. Please give up your efforts."
"Can I format you with the highest authority?"
“In theory.”
“That’s actually not possible.”
“…”
"Because you probably have a tangled 'soul', UFO." Amid the painful pressure of data churning through her brain, Su Xi smiled with difficulty and made a joke, "You can also simulate 'deception', although it's too crude for humans, ha~"
Thinking of the heavy things, the smile faded. I closed my eyes to endure the tearing mental pain, but the data on the retina became clearer when I closed my eyes, so I opened them again.
"Only humans can 'cheat,'" Su Xi murmured, "Only 'desires' originating from selfish instincts can drive 'cheating' behavior."
Humans in this interstellar age acknowledge that AI created by humans can, after reaching a certain level of computing, be registered by an institution under human control and acknowledge that it can exist as an AI life form that is different from humans.
However, the relationship between humans as biological organisms and artificial organisms is still not completely equal.
The desire to "live" is the same. To upgrade, AI needs to observe the world, sample sufficient data, and observe the known evolutionary process of humans to update and upgrade data.
The upgrading of AI and the survival and reproduction of human beings require energy at different levels and magnitudes, but they are both indispensable "needs".
When life is viewed on the grand scale of the universe, isn't it the same?
These thoughts were only a matter of a moment in Su Xi's rapidly running mind. But now, Su Xi felt that her surface consciousness and subconsciousness had never been so unified and harmonious, as if they were dancing in parallel on a light-speed belt.
There is no misunderstanding caused by self-perception errors, nor is there any unnecessary external emotional interference, only... cold data and realistic cognition.
Is this... the thinking circuit of AI life?
Now we are at a critical juncture.
K31 is a symbiotic program of the UFO AI. The default command of K31 is to deliver the survivors on the UFO planet to the "Death Wing" Hera. This command was suspended when the other party's receiving ship was bombed, and the UFO's consciousness took the lead.
In other words, it is a simplified version that evolved rapidly after the former forbidden star intelligent UFO broke away from the main body temporarily residing on the Sun-Swallow.
In the midst of the gunfire, you might run out of energy and be unable to dodge, causing you to die again in the next second, or the current AI with disordered program might choose to self-destruct.
There was a high probability of death. However, Su Xi was extremely calm. She received the data simulation results projected by AI on her retina and decided to shut down the thrusters that consumed the most energy in the escape capsule, and decided to drift with the wreckage of the enemy ship, waiting for the last miracle of survival with the awareness of death.
"Do you have a 'soul'?" "UFO."
Perhaps it was loneliness that drove her to ask this question. She received no response.
Slowly, the short battle drew to a close. The intertwined antiparticle laser cannon fire became increasingly sparse, and they slowly drifted out of the center of the war.
"Do you have a 'soul'?" "UFO."
A carbon-based life form is discussing the essential nature of life with an AI life form infected by a malicious program.
She once again questioned the word 'soul'. A longing question.
In the midst of war, with an extremely low probability of survival, you could die in the next second.
In this way, no matter whether it is Su Xi who had not traveled through time many years ago, or Su Xi who had adapted to the interstellar age many years later, it is difficult for them to understand how the current situation happened, and it is impossible for them to simulate the current situation and make current decisions.
Su Xi, a human on Earth who had not traveled through time many years ago, could not understand it, but Su Xi, who had adapted to the interstellar age many years later, would make a completely opposite choice because she fully understood it.
The Su Xi at the moment has some understanding of the interstellar age, but is still ignorant.
She was indifferent to the life and death at the moment, but she was eager to ask the same question to the AI life form with chaotic programming.
"Do you have a 'soul'?" "UFO."
Perhaps he is a person without any worries, and he feels as curious about the last moment of Mingwu's life as he does about the birth of his life.
"Ding, the current vocabulary cannot search for the keyword 'soul'..." The AI computer, which seemed to have been frozen for a long time, issued a search result prompt.
"Invalid question, cannot be answered." The cold voice interaction gave the exact calculation result.
"Alas," Su Xi sighed in her mind. She thought, fate brought me here, so I came here. Think about these short ten days on the Emperor Star, which is about half a month on Earth? This unpredictable fate.
For a moment, she thought of Fitzgerald, but she only thought of the fear she felt when she was suddenly dragged into the deep pool while struggling, and the cold eyes she saw. Then she suddenly thought of the man with a cold face who gently said to her, "Will you accept my help?", and the deep emotion she felt when his hands touched her forehead and gave her great comfort.
Yes, I have done the best I can as an ant.
Leave the rest to God.
The UFO asked doubtfully: "God?"
Su Xi smiled. The origin of this interstellar human race did not have any belief in mythology at the beginning.
She let go of her imagination a little and showed it to her partner in need, the cross-life AI partner who had just confirmed her name and shared her thoughts.
'I don't believe in God,' she herself gave this affirmative signal,
"...concept definition could not be queried... could not be sampled..."
"The logic of your language cannot be simulated..."
"It's emotion. Emotion cannot be simulated..."
"Unable to simulate..."
Seems like something went wrong?
"Unable to simulate..."
An AI life form that has never been entangled before has been malfunctioned by the three entangled questions of humans?
"Ding, the second A-level sample is locked~"
"Ding, the second A-level sample is locked~"
"Except for endangering human safety...self-evolution is above all else..."
"A-level management authority... Subject 'Su Xi'... Authority update..."
"Self-evolution is above all else... uninstall unnecessary programs... format unnecessary systems..."
"K31 removal..."
The UFO intelligence first fell into logical chaos.
Su Xi's brain could no longer bear the impact of the data flow, and she severed the mental link that relied on the U medium. She opened her eyes, then closed them again.
The pure darkness gently surrounded her.

The camera flashes back to thirty-five minutes ago, when the war was raging between the two sides.
On the main ship Arale, she and Criszo of the Imperial Armor Special Operations Division were exchanging antiparticle beam cannon fire at each other.
"Ah! We are going out of the communication range. I'll leave some 'rewards' for you to shoot at, don't be polite to me!" Leila Asai turned her head and winked at the dog-headed strategist. Oh! No, it was the chief strategist, Foxtail Sasaki, who was winking at her.
Foxtail Sasaki understood and grabbed a few weekly reports, squeezed out an anxious expression, and swayed in front of the communication camera, pretending to report military intelligence. Then he saw their leader 'Arale', who was ranked in the top three of the Siren Galaxy Pirate Power List for being cruel, tyrannical, cunning and ruthless, bragging to the Imperial Colonel on the other side of the communication screen: "Say more good things to that adult later~"
While using his long nails covered with cookie crumbs, he scratched the speaker of the communicator.
Then the communication was suddenly closed!
It seems that... the signal was disconnected due to poor communication during the escape~
After doing all this, Leila Asay leaned back and laid directly on the conductor's chair. She threw the last half of the crepe into the air with her right hand, raised her head and opened her mouth. Her jaw was cracked, and a terrifying round hole appeared on her palm-sized face.
Bingo!
Then chew it and swallow it.
The interstellar pirates who were originally busy fighting like a background board all started to move around in a relaxed manner after the boss hung up the camera. Some were shouting, some were playing cards, some were making appointments for online game battles, and the whole place was noisy.
Arale's chief strategy officer, Foxtail Sasaki, is an alpha male with a B-level beastial gene. Among a group of lax alpha pirates, he seems a little worried. He walked to the big leader who was paralyzed in the command chair and whispered a few words, and mentioned Yin Duxing again. Originally, this matter should be agreed to, firstly for the sake of the interests of this biological father, and secondly, it is really not dare to put all the chips on Fitzgerald. However, with the current situation, Arale can no longer be ambiguous, and must choose a position to keep it in hand.
However, the pirate leader Leila Asai, who looks well-behaved and has a sweet voice, is actually a deep-minded person, not as naive as he looks. After listening to the mutterings of Foxtail Sasaki, her beautiful golden leopard eyes narrowed slightly.
“No matter where we decide to bet on the final outcome,” Leila Asay said, “we have to bet on something!”
What should I bet on?
Leila Asay and Foxtail Sasaki stared at each other in bewilderment.
In a word, poor! Buying intelligence costs money, breaking into any department of the central system costs money! Keeping those screaming wastes also costs money! Whether it is to fight a group of obsolete ships, grabbing territory, or confronting peers head-on, consuming military power... definitely, it costs money!
The two were silent.
What broke this mysterious awkwardness was a report from the information soldier, "Report... Report... Report to the chief!"
Yes, this information soldier is a stutterer, with a C-level beast gene, but at least he has a human form with a flat head and a straight face. His abilities are not too bad, except for the problem that he stutters when he gets excited.
Leila Assay was quite patient, her beautiful brows furrowed as she listened attentively.
"Come on, get up and work for me!" He slapped his thigh! Suddenly he got the point!
Earlier, this group of pirates had their invisible barrier broken by the Sun Devourer. After being attacked one by one, Arale and her crew escaped the fastest. Red Gull, which was a little slower in reaction, was half injured. However, the most arrogant and the one who suffered the most was Deathwing. His fleet, which was well-equipped and comparable to that of the regular army, was almost completely destroyed. The damage rate of his flagship Hera was over half, which was simply unbearable to hear.
But as she listened, Leila Asay's eyes became brighter and brighter. The latest antiparticle mortar! The latest stealth destroyer!
"Let's go! Brothers," they shouted hurriedly as they loaded onto the thirteen invisible painted ships sponsored by Yindu, packed up their belongings, and went to pick up weapons!
This is really...it's going to rain and someone is going to give a gift, hehe!
Leila Asay, with her lips pursed and a bright face, looked at the smiling fox-tailed Sasaki.
Not only can you pick up weapons dropped by big guys, but you can also take the opportunity to kill your mortal enemy!
"Hehe, what I like most is to rob other thieves!" Leila Asai licked her lips, her golden vertical pupils filled with cruel and bloodthirsty intent.
