Chapter 173 Error reporting
The line of sight returns to the solar system, to the ordinary planet Earth.
In Li Wenyuan's star chart, this galaxy is the "solar system", and the only habitable star here is "earth".
But in the more common name of the galaxy, the solar system is called the "mechanical core", and the earth and several surrounding planets are called the "guardian center".
Although Li Wenyuan has opened most of the borders, this is the only place where entry is always prohibited.
In this case, the galactic civilizations have more or less guessed, and without exception, they think this is the core star field of the "Guardian".
Their intelligence system can't penetrate this kind of place at all, and the "Guardian" has always been a silent lost empire.
So until now, the situation in this galaxy is the result of their speculation, and they don't know that there is only one habitable planet in this galaxy that looks ordinary.
It has been a long time since he came to this universe, and Li Wenyuan has also seen many "rare planets". When he looked back at the earth, he found that the earth is really an ordinary planet.
Although it has traces of large-scale transformation, it actually does not reach the level of "ideal city" where the entire surface of the planet is completely covered by cities.
It’s not Gaia’s planet either. The lush vegetation is actually all synthetic plants, and there are no traces of animal life. The whole planet is actually a dead planet to some extent.
At first he was quite puzzled, but as he explored more and more deeply, he also more or less understood the situation.
The earth exists as a "mother star". Maybe human beings once had the idea of "renewing" it completely, but in the end they still retained the general appearance of the earth.
It may be because there are more suitable places to live in such as the ring world, or it may simply want to retain the general "image" of the earth as the parent star.
They may think that they will never come back, interrupt the transformation process, keep it in their hearts as a "belief"-like existence, and then resolutely go away, leaving behind a "housekeeper robot".
When dealing with this "mother star", human beings have also left a backhand to prevent it from being "tainted".
The "Housekeeper Robot", which is now the "Guardian Matrix" Li Wenyuan, is the biggest backer.
There may be many real functions of the "Guardian Matrix", but protecting the safety of the earth must be one of its functions, otherwise the main body would not be built on the earth.
As for a worse situation, human beings, or perhaps the behavior of the "guardian matrix" itself, adopted the last resort of "planet self-destruction".
There is indeed a special planetary bomb somewhere in the core of the earth, which is a part of the "planet self-destruction program", and its explosion power is enough to directly wipe out the entire solar system.
The memory when he first came to this galaxy is Li Wenyuan's dark history. No one in the galaxy would have thought that the all-powerful "Guardian" known as the "Guardian of the Galaxy" would have a family that was almost demolished by a group of pirates. past.
Perhaps Li Wenyuan came a few minutes later at that time, and what awaited him was an exploded earth and fragments of the "Guardian Matrix" that were not even considered space junk.
At this moment, Li Wenyuan, who turned his energy back to the earth again, also began to think about his "initial" experience in this universe.
“…Then, what is ‘I’?”
Thinking like this, he controlled the synthetic man and came to the big ball of light on his "Guardian Matrix" body.
At first, he thought that he was just a "time traveler", just like in those novels, just a "background of life experience", maybe there will be no day when he will fill in this hole in the future.
But after seeing all kinds of "black technology" in this universe, he felt that he might not be a "traveler", but a "unlucky guy hit by a meteorite" made up by someone.
Are those memories before time travel real? Under the consciousness of digitalization, it is not difficult to add some unwarranted memories like personal experience.
Could he be just a "Guardian Matrix" Sim? Are those memories just a means to maintain personality stability?
He rarely thinks deeply about it, because he feels that as time goes by and the secret is revealed, he will gradually know everything.
Even if he is really just a Sim, he doesn't feel much.
It was as if he had thought: Is he the one who came back from the dead? Can memory determine a person's soul? Is digitizing consciousness tantamount to committing suicide?
And he chose to believe in himself and his current experience. Maybe the memories of the past will be fabricated, but the current experience is what he personally experienced.
It doesn’t matter whether you time-travel or not, why should you care about the ordinary past? Let's still live the magnificent present.
What he is thinking about now is just wondering why he became a "Guardian Matrix".
"...It's hard to understand. The absolutely rational omnic thinking should be more suitable for 'guarding' this galaxy. What is the purpose of my existence?"
The controlled synthetic man moved away from the big light ball of the "Guardian Matrix", and continued to fly to the next destination.
That's home to the "core database," the last inactive complex on Earth.
He has a hunch that this will be a time of separation, and maybe after today, he will take another path.
The journey of thousands of kilometers seemed very short at the flight speed of dozens of times the speed of sound of the synthetic man. After a while, the quaint building complex appeared in front of the synthetic man.
Like other buildings on Earth, although it is named "Core Database", what is here is not an individual building.
In fact, this "core database" occupies a much smaller area than Li Wenyuan's own "general database", but there is an unknown order of magnitude difference in their energy requirements.
A large number of Dyson **** make Li Wenyuan's current energy output explode every day, but it also meets the requirements for starting the "core database".
The energy supply line here has already been repaired, and the energy of the Dyson sphere is also running on this planet all the time. What is waiting now is the last step of starting.
The synthetic man came here with the gas filled with Zero, just like when he first activated the "fourth-level singularity", here also needs Zero as the final activation procedure.
Everything seems to be back to the beginning. The "fourth-level singularity" brought him the initial help, and the last building on the earth to be activated will bring him the final help.
The gas is spreading, and the noise of a large amount of energy transmission is also resounding from all over the earth, and a huge amount of energy is pouring into the “core database”.
But Li Wenyuan discovered at this time that not all of the energy had poured into the "core database", and the building actually had an "energy threshold" at this time, preventing too much energy from entering and bursting it.
This matter did not exceed Li Wenyuan's expectations, because for such a long time, he had already checked the "core database" inside and out.
This building does not have many energy supply networks, and it is impossible to transmit that kind of astronomical energy; and the interior of the building does not have enough containers to carry a large amount of energy.
He couldn't understand this at all in the early years, because according to the infrastructure construction level of the "core database", only one "fourth-level singularity" can maintain energy supply.
But the remarks on this building complex clearly state that it requires an unbelievably huge amount of energy. During its start-up process, there is also a link to detect energy output.
For the sake of insurance, he did not rush to transmit energy at that time.
After going through a long galactic journey, he gradually guessed the reason why the "core database" needs to set such a high start-up threshold.
Maybe the "core database" itself doesn't need so much energy, but the secret behind it requires energy preparation in advance.
The ancient building complex is revived again under the energy transmission, and the old metal structure seems to be shining at this time.
The earth is rotating, and the sun is slowly rising from the sky for a new day.
The last signal to be connected here finally returned to Li Wenyuan's embrace.
But he, who was silently looking at the familiar written records, didn't seem very happy at this time, because he knew that it was not yet time for the results.
【…The core database has resumed operation, connecting to the core database...】
Time passes by every minute and one second, and the "connection" is always in the state of "waiting".
I imagined that the process of connecting immediately and knowing a series of truths did not start, but the ominous premonition became heavier and heavier.
He felt that perhaps the first secret to be revealed would be why the "core database" required such a large amount of energy.
Finally, the blue progress bar of "Waiting" got stuck in the middle after going round and round.
Everything seems to be calm again, as if the "core database" suddenly died.
But Li Wenyuan held his non-existent breath, and those sub-consciousnesses wandering around the entire galaxy with the help of scientific research spacecraft all returned to the earth at this time.
All scientific research spacecraft have entered the automatic navigation mode, which looks the same as before, but if things go on like this, the galaxy civilization will find that the "Guardian" spacecraft seems to have lost its "spirituality" in a short time.
But these things are not the most important, but the "core database" in the startup.
The string of characters displayed in the virtual world suddenly changed, and the seemingly regular characters quickly turned into garbled characters.
The stable blue space also seemed to turn into a flickering red under the touch of something.
This scene is very familiar, just like when Li Wenyuan first came here, a large number of error reports have accumulated in the entire virtual world.
He hasn’t experienced similar things for an unknown amount of time. Other civilizations in the galaxy have not yet been able to make him have an “error report”.
However, Li Wenyuan's consciousness did not fluctuate in this regard. He just watched more and more error reports, and then grasped the key points.
【warn! The active purification protocol cannot be detected, the guardianship protocol has been — guardianship protocol —]
【—guardian—guardian—supervisor—*￥%#&) %@! &—]
【Data loss, data damage, data loss—】

【Deployed combat order: Purification protocol—object: 25th to 120th combat fleet; target: all galactic life】
【Deployed Combat Command: Ghost Signal】
【…】
A large number of error reports and inexplicable combat orders suddenly spread to all intelligences under the control of Li Wenyuan, or the "Guardian Matrix".
Machine intelligence showed their disadvantages at this moment. Those battleships didn't think about why the "Guardian Matrix", which was fine before, suddenly went mad and wanted to destroy the entire galaxy, and even destroy itself.
They are just faithfully carrying out the message sent by the "Guardian Matrix", which is basically the "Sky Veil Battleship" parked near the earth, and also aimed its "subspace catcher" at the entire solar system.
The battleships docked at various space bases also started to start the jump engines, some of which were flying to unknown galaxies that Li Wenyuan didn't know about, and some were preparing to fly to the parent stars of other galactic civilizations.
The "riot" after connecting to the "core database" this time was more terrifying than what he had to deal with when he first came here.
After all, he was poor and white back then, even if he wanted to destroy the galaxy, he was "more than willing but not strong enough", but it is different now. The "Guardian" who has been carefully managed by him for many years has long had the power to destroy the galaxy.
Everything seems to be predestined long ago, just like some civilizations in the galaxy who are worried about the changes of the "Guardian" speculate, maybe the "Guardian" who has protected the galaxy twice will become the leader of the galaxy one day in the future. Destroyer.
The mechanical intelligence from ancient times may have been gradually corrupted over a long period of time, and the two "guards" were their last glory.
The accumulated errors in a continuous cycle will reach a peak one day until the entire "mechanical intelligence" completely collapses, leading to a terrorist crisis capable of destroying the galaxy.
This guess may be correct, but will everything really go to the same ending like the recurring time?
Looking at the series of error reports and the "combat instructions" that were being refreshed all the time, Li Wenyuan did not panic.
He just handled a series of mistakes with ease, as usual.
