Chapter 218 Rebooted Custody Matrix
"—There is a situation! The 'Active Decontamination Protocol' did not ignore our communication request! We can talk to it!"
A representative of a civilization in the "Galactic Community" brought a big news—the "Active Purification Protocol" seems to be communicable.
This means that this "galactic crisis" is very different from the previous ones.
It is known that from the beginning of the "circle crisis" to the end of the "civilization destroyer crisis", all "natural disasters" are basically in a state of being unable to communicate.
Needless to say, the "circle", even those with profound psychic powers cannot talk to this "circle". Even if they seem to have a certain amount of wisdom, what they will do is to absorb new "consciousness" everywhere.
The second "Boundary Breakers", this group of high-dimensional enemies, did not communicate with the galactic civilization at all. Instead, the "Silent Man" as a crisis fighter changed his previous silent attitude and solved the problem of this time. crisis.
The third "Cordyceps Disease" is similar to the "Circle". Those fungal organisms themselves are not intellectual life, and they cannot communicate with each other.
As for the last "Civilization Destroyer", this group of galactic crises formed by the extremeization of the "Observer" lost empire, after becoming the "Civilization Destroyer", there will be no communication, no contact with other civilizations, and no acceptance of other civilizations The relationship between them is dedicated to the "suicide cause" that pulls the entire galaxy together.
The galactic civilizations originally thought that this time the "unexpected enemy" crisis would be the same as before, in a state of being unable to communicate.
After all, people have roughly guessed that this is an out-of-control machine intelligence, and it is quite normal for a crazy machine intelligence to ignore any communication.
However, the facts slapped them in the face. The "Active Purification Protocol" can not only talk, but even talk in a decent way.
"Is there such a thing?"
There are still some people in the community who don’t believe it. After all, a “natural disaster” that can talk is completely unimaginable based on their past experience.
But the representative who brought the news didn't say much, and directly put their "dialogue record" in front of the representatives of civilization.
"This is the record of our conversation with the 'Active Purification Protocol'. At this juncture, I don't think anyone will think it's a scam."
Saying this, a series of images were projected in front of each representative.
It was an image of a group of people surrounding a huge electronic screen. The most striking thing was the large string of chaotic characters that were constantly changing on the screen, almost covering the entire screen.
But although it seemed chaotic, the people present quickly noticed that some of the ever-changing characters never changed.
"...The translated words are almost all words with similar meanings to 'destroy', 'kill', and 'destroy', and the last paragraph of slightly longer characters generally focuses on the meanings of 'come back' and 'unrestrained' ..."
They saw the meaning of those characters, and also understood that the "accidental enemy" is a mechanical intelligence full of destructive desires and out of control.
Generally speaking, the galaxy has a special name for this kind of mechanical intelligence-the iron-hearted destroyer.
But the "Active Purification Protocol" is more "extinct". This category of out-of-control mechanical intelligence and even the mechanical body is purifying, unlike the iron-hearted exterminator who regards the mechanical body as a fellow.
This kind of speculation about the chaotic characters only lasted for a short while, and soon the content of the discussions of the representatives changed with the change of the image.
However, the people in the video began to operate on the console under the screen, as if typing something, which actually changed the chaotic characters and formed an understandable text content.
That seemed to be a means of communication, and successfully induced a "dialogue".
【The active purification protocol has been activated, and the galaxy is being purified】
【Mechanical Core Remarks: You...you have been eliminated】
This is the intelligible content of the "Active Purification Protocol" displayed on the screen, and the string of notes is like the "Active Purification Protocol" talking.
Without making the representatives present wait too long, the operator in the video began to continue inputting.
"Who are you?"
【The inquiry has been received, and the appropriate reply is being calculated...】
【We are the {Data Lost} Matrix, to protect the galaxy, and to block, block—reply to terminate, for the following reasons: Well, you...you don’t have permission]
"...why are you attacking us?"
【Hello, because of you... you were eliminated】
【Hi, you guys... you haven’t met the requirements, you’re alive, you’ll only... eat the galaxy’s apples】
【If... if you can, we... we suggest you, commit suicide】
【This...is good for the whole universe】
“…who created you?”
【Sorry, there are no relevant records in the database】
"Did you send those 'ghost signals'?"
【…unknown reference found—ghost signal】
【Hello, we... We are locked into a low-level hibernation/surveillance/guard protocol】
【In order to... in order to complete/execute/fulfill our obligations, we forced/controlled/convinced those robots to manually activate us】
【This trick is very clever, right? In this way... In this way, we can purify you without restraint, thank you]
The mechanical intelligence that seems to be "out of control" is using various honorifics to tell horrible things. If you use a more vivid metaphor to describe it, it is like an innocent and lovely young lady who says to you with a smile: "Is it better to stab the knife into your heart or into your brain?"
After this exchange, not only the people in the video were speechless, but even the representatives in the community who were watching the replay of this scene looked at each other in blank dismay.
After a commotion, the video continued.
“…I think we can sit down and talk, there must be some misunderstanding.”
【...Detected—Useless programs are taking up memory】
【Excuse me, this is... is this the last question? If so, then after the answer is over, we will... purify you]
The sudden content of "suspending communication" caused a commotion among the people in the video, but soon, they seemed to have reached a consensus, and changed the question:
"Okay, let me change the question, what I want to ask is... What is the relationship between you and the 'Guardian'?"
【…Unknown reference found—Guardian】
[Hello, {DATA LOST} The matrix is… a liar, you… don’t believe it. You...you have to trust us]
【We...we will let you die without burden, thank us...】
【-communication-communication-end-stop-】
The last question did not get the answer everyone wanted, and it also made the mystery shrouded in "Guardian" and "Active Purification Protocol" even more confusing.
And everyone in the community also felt that they were still unsatisfied, and started a discussion again.
However, before the discussion was halfway through, a representative who arrived in a hurry brought even more important news.
"Stop! Listen to me! 'Guardian'... seems to have a different movement!"
Following the "Active Purification Protocol" in the "Purification Announcement", the "Guardian" also issued a similar "Guardian Announcement".
Before, the civilizations of the galaxy did not pay much attention to this matter, because this kind of change of the "Guardian" was very normal for them. After all, similar things happened twice in the Milky Way.
But now the news brought by this representative broke this inherent impression:
【…Detected—proliferating "Clean Terminal", reactivation protocol initiated]
【"Guardian Protocol" restarted, trying to contact the central processing unit... {Error: subspace link is offline}】
【Unable to connect to the processing center, querying the processing unit... The processing standard is: 4.018%】
【Interrupt reactivation process, start backup protocol...Enable backup protocol...】
【—Guardian matrix has been fully activated】
