Chapter 330
The various nodes that make up the current hyperspace channel network are not artificially created. Without exception, they all exist naturally at the edge of the galaxy.
After they were discovered and utilized, they gradually formed the current interstellar network that can be used for navigation by spaceship fleets.
In fact, such nodes that can form stable wormholes do not only exist on the outskirts of galaxies, but there are also signs of their existence within galaxies, but they are more difficult to use.
In addition, no one would want to build such a hidden danger inside the galaxy, so it has always been a convention to only build it on the periphery.
——Each civilization has its own star field. Fleets from foreign civilizations or forces are not allowed to sail within the star field within the civilization.
Although not every civilization has the ability to completely blockade the star field, open declarations are necessary in order to preserve the sovereignty of their own civilization to the greatest extent possible.
Well, this mainly appeared after the establishment of the Star Alliance.
In the Xinghai Council, which used to be no different from the Tianjia civilization's one-man show, powerful civilizations were not mentioned, and low-level civilizations dared not mention them.
After all, the Tianjia civilization was the true overlord of the star sea. They had no restrictions on where they wanted to go, and no civilized force dared to stop them.
Qi Heng sat in the cockpit of the mecha, feeling a little distracted.
With A0 around, he doesn't need to drive the mecha himself. Even the parameters displayed inside are controlled by A0.
He is very self-aware.
Some things cannot be learned at the last minute. He cannot operate these high-tech things, even though he has many memories belonging to the master.
'Lord of Tianjia', that is truly high and mighty, when will it be His turn to personally pilot a mecha?
Therefore, his understanding of these things was the same as that of the Tianjia Lord. They both only had some understanding but not much practical experience.
With the mecha's almost resistance-free flying speed in space, a distance of more than 600 kilometers is not far. If he hadn't been concerned about his body and couldn't fly at full strength, he would have arrived in a few breaths.
Now?
Five minutes is enough.
The mecha was designed with shock absorption and force-speed offsetting features, and the speed it reached within five minutes allowed him to sit in the cockpit without feeling any discomfort.
[Your Excellency, we have arrived.]
A0 has separated out some of its subsystems to become the mecha's intelligent AI. At this time, it is directly communicating with him through the mecha's core.
Activate the mecha's built-in detector to transmit the scene one kilometer away.
On the screen, information data keeps changing as the detector captures it.
[The channel node is in a damaged state, the internal gravity has changed, and there may be partial space collapse.]
This description sounds a bit like a black hole.
Repairing the navigation node is both easy and difficult.
Level 2 and 3 civilizations that are able to explore the edge of their home galaxy basically have the ability to use space nodes to create wormholes to navigate outward, but even level 5 civilizations cannot repair them.
On the other hand, it is very easy to destroy space nodes. The star-level weapons mastered by civilizations above level five are enough to easily destroy any space node.
Of course, this approach is equivalent to declaring war on the civilization that owns the space node. Unless a civilization is a warmongerer, no civilization would have the time to do such a provocative thing.
The only civilization that did so ended up being attacked by everyone, and the entire civilization star domain was turned into a garbage dump.
I believe that with such precedents, no civilization would want to follow in their footsteps.
He said to A0: "After the repair, use the space blocking device to block the space of the channel node. This way, this node will still be blocked."
【clear. 】
Repairing space nodes is something that a level five civilization cannot do, but a level six civilization may be able to do it, but it will also cost a considerable price.
It would be fine if it was a space node owned by one's own civilization, but the Tianjia star field has become such a terrible state that it is not worth spending a huge amount of money to repair it.
So in the end, Qi Heng was the only one who worked hard and diligently to find a way to repair the space node.
Although he said he would fix it, in reality it still depends on the system.
I have accumulated so much energy just to use it at this moment.
It takes a lot of energy to repair a space node, and each space node also needs to manufacture a corresponding space blocking device, which can only be manufactured by the system.
"My biggest role is probably just watching from the scene." Qi Heng sighed and said with some self-mockery.
"This is no different from when I was playing games before."
"Well, it's not that there is no difference."
There is still some difference between sitting in front of the computer and sitting in the mecha and watching it on site.
The system is hanging.
Although he was the one who owned the system, Qi Heng still had to say this.
When he first played the game, he didn't think too much about it, he just thought it was a game. After he actually stepped on other civilizations in the competitive position, he gave this place the same name as his hometown river system.
After all, looking at the star map, although this galaxy is much larger, it also looks like a big silver plate.
Since they look so similar, it’s normal to call it the Milky Way.
Those civilizations did not lose out by losing to the Tianjia civilization and the system. At most, they only served as targets for hatred.
Qi Heng thought.
[A0 doesn't think that's the case. You're being too self-deprecating.]
A0, as the system's built-in intelligence, does not interfere with the system's operation. When the system is repairing the space node, it can still operate normally.
After hearing his words, A0 pointed out one thing accurately.
Without you, this would not be possible.
“Isn’t it enough to have a system?”
【But the system exists because of you.】
It sounds a bit strange, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to be correct.
The root cause was that the system pulled me through time and bound me, which led to the subsequent series of events. It sounds like I'm a bit shameless to take credit for it.
"Don't take it for granted, A0." Qi Heng said helplessly.
"I have a different opinion from you."
"Rather than existing for me, shouldn't we say that it exists for the continuation of the Tianjia civilization and the Tianjia Zerg?"
"After all, I'm living well on Earth. Even without the system, I won't encounter any crisis."
"But if there is no system, the Tianjia Zerg in this world may really be beyond salvation."
Under the strict defense of the Star Alliance, if nothing unexpected happens, the Tianjia Zerg will never be able to escape from the quagmire of imprisonment in their lifetime.
The system opens all permissions to itself, focusing on itself, but the ultimate beneficiary is the Tianjia Zerg.
A0 froze a bit after hearing his words, his core working rapidly, trying to find a suitable word to refute him.
The screen displayed the progress of the node repair, and during the time they were chatting, it had only reached 5%.
It seems that it will take quite a while for the entire progress bar to be full.
[Your Excellency, you are wrong.]
"Why is it wrong?"
Since he was free anyway, Qi Heng didn't mind chatting with A0, the intelligent AI.
Even if we talk to A0 about some emotional topics or system-related content, A0 will easily experience the same shutdown situation as before.
For AI that can perform countless calculations per second, even a pause of a few seconds would be a long time for them.
The few seconds of time for AI are different from those for humans. It is not even enough for a few breaths for humans, but it is enough for them to do many things.
[According to what you said, you believe the system brought you to this world for the survival of Tianjia civilization.]
【A0: Is there any misunderstanding?】
Qi Heng could not deny it and said, "No."
Because that's what he thought from the beginning.
He had this idea in his mind since the first day he arrived at Tianyun Star and was bound to the system. Therefore, at the beginning he didn't bother to pay attention to what tasks the system said.
If he had not met Yan Ning later and been taken in by her, and then encountered something that he could not stand, he would not have thought of following the path given by the system.
He had no aversion or disgust towards the system; at most, he was a little unhappy about being dragged through time.
Later, that bit of unhappiness disappeared after I saw that the Tianjia civilization had become what it is today because of my quitting the game.
This system, which calls itself "Civilization Simulator", did not impose any substantial pressure on him except to drag him through time, such as what it would do to him if he did not complete the goal or task.
This was also the reason why Qi Heng accepted it without too much resistance.
As an adult, you must take responsibility for the decisions you make based on your free will. No matter how hard or troublesome it is, you cannot just give up halfway.
【OK. 】
After getting his answer, A0 said: [Based on your answer and thoughts, A0's answer is. ]
[As part of the system's AI, you are above the system.]
A0's words surprised Qi Heng.
He didn't expect that someone would say such a thing.
He originally thought that at most it meant that he was the highest priority in the system - A0 had said something similar before.
"You mean, if one day I come into conflict with the system, you will stand on my side?"
Qi Heng seemed to be thinking about something.
That being said, how could he possibly conflict with the system?
What kind of situation would cause a conflict between you and a tool responsible for performing a task, to the point where an AI attached to the system like A0 would have to make a choice between the two?
Yes, just as you said.
If this happens in the future, A0 will choose you without hesitation.
A0's decisive words did not make Qi Heng feel happy, because he thought of something, something that indicated that what A0 said at the moment was not a good thing.
"I remember that there are no hypothetical assumptions about AI. Phrases like 'if' and 'suppose' are too uncertain and too anthropomorphic."
He leaned one hand on the armrest, his expression gloomy.
"Should I say that your emotional module is too accurate in its simulation, or should I ask what data analysis you used to conclude that this situation would occur in the future?"
The appearance of such hypothetical words in AI means that the possibility of "choosing one of two" happening in the future is not zero.
——It won’t be zero, so it is possible for it to happen no matter how small the probability is.
Qi Heng quickly reviewed in his mind everything that had happened since he traveled through time.
He was confident in his memory and believed that he would never miss any possible problems, so when he didn't find anything from his memory, he frowned.
At this moment, there was no sound inside the mecha.
However, A0, who should have answered his question immediately, has been slow to respond.
