Chapter 219 Awakening the Empire of Machinery
"Why does the 'Guardian' react...it seems a bit big?"
This second announcement from the "Mechanical Lost Empire" made the representatives of various civilizations in the community a little unbelievable.
Some of the representatives still didn't believe this, until the civilization behind them also sent them this string of "unexpected news", they had to confirm that this was the truth.
And what followed was thinking about this string of news.
Unknowingly, the civilizations of the galaxy have subconsciously regarded the "guardian" as a "crisis detector".
This mysterious omnic civilization always seems to be the first to respond to the "crisis of the extinction of the galaxy". When there is an abnormality worthy of attention in the galaxy, they will subconsciously say: "How does the 'Guardian' respond? "
If the "guardians" have no response, they will continue to do their own business with confidence. After all, this usually indicates that the intensity of the crisis is not that strong, and it is probably still within the scope of their handling.
But in contrast, if the "guardian" reacts very violently, then they need to be mentally prepared.
The entire venue of the "Star Sea Community" fell into a silent silence at the same time, and they seemed to feel that each other's bodies were chilling.
I thought that this "unexpected enemy" crisis, although it seems to have something to do with the "Guardian", is definitely not a problem for the brave "Guardian".
However, the guardian of "abnormal activation" announced that the problem is not that simple, and maybe this time, there will be no one who can stay out of it.
"...Let's analyze carefully what happened to the 'Guardian' this time."
"I think we all know that not long ago, when the 'Active Purification Protocol' issued the 'Purification Announcement', the 'Guardian' followed suit with the 'Guardian Announcement'...just like before."
"...Because we are used to all this, we didn't take this matter too much to heart. After all, the inherent impression has always made us feel that there is nothing that the 'Guardian' can't handle."
A certain representative first expressed his opinion. Although no one responded, no one objected. In fact, most of the people present were right by him.
They really didn't pay much attention to this "unexpected enemy crisis". Perhaps it was the "Guardian" who solved the galaxy crisis several times before, which gave them the illusion that as long as the "lost mechanical intelligence" takes action, no matter how powerful The crisis will also be resolved.
—even if the opponent seems to have a great connection with the "Guardian".
"However, judging from the content of the 'Guardian''s signal... he, or they, may actually never fully activate."
Another representative pointed out the meaning of those words in the signal.
"The information we have received from the 'Guardian' has been very short-lived. He is like a program, and there will be no more communication except for fixed content."
"Remember what the 'Active Purification Protocol' said? They have been trapped in a dormant 'Guard Protocol'..."
"Reminiscent of the "ghost signal" of the "Active Purification Protocol" that is almost identical to the "Guardian", we have reason to suspect that they were originally trapped by the "Guardian"..."
"If this is the case, then the so-called dormant 'Guardian Agreement' actually refers to the 'Guardian'..."
The representative's explanation did not make the rest of the audience show too many expressions. These representatives are the elites in their respective civilizations, and even if he doesn't need to say it, they can still think of this level.
They were vaguely aware of the relationship between the "Active Purification Protocol" and the "Guardian". The two "mechanical intelligences" may indeed be "ancient enemies".
"...Don't you think this 'background' is too fantastical? It's like the 'sealed demons' and the 'groups guarding the seal' in those fantasy novels. Now that the seal is broken, the demons are once again causing harm to the world, and The aging guardian was born again..."
Some representatives feel that the life experience of the "Guardian" has a sense of déjà vu. It seems that they have seen similar plots in some blockbusters of the galaxy, but the world view has risen to the universe, and the protagonist has been replaced by machine intelligence.
But the story comes from reality, and it is not entirely impossible that there is such a scene on a galactic scale.
"Now, what we need to pay attention to is the status of the 'Guardian'. According to the known information, this 'restart' is not a success at all."
The representatives of the Fire Alliance were the first to care about the "Guardians", and they had unimaginable trust in this "Mechanical Lost Empire".
After being reminded, other representatives also realized that the most important thing they should pay attention to now is the status of the "guardian".
Instead of counting on the rest of the lost empires who don't know if they will take action, they might as well count on the "Guardians" who have already guarded the galaxy.
The issues pointed out by the representatives of the Tinder Alliance have also been included in the "Key Points".
"I think the string of announcements from the 'Guardian' is imprinted in everyone's memory. According to the content of the notice, the 'Guardian' is currently not connected to his 'Central Processing Unit'. He is using the 4 % unknown computing power handles all processes."
"To use an analogy, a life that thinks with the brain has to switch to thinking with the butt. I don't think anyone expects this state to be good?"
A certain representative’s very vivid metaphor caused the rest of the representatives present to fall into silence, and it took a long time before someone choked out a sentence:
"... What you want to say is that the 'Guardian' who thinks with his **** can also violently beat up the entire galaxy, including those lost empires?"
"I think I understand what the 'Active Purification Protocol' means when it says 'you'll live to eat the apples of the galaxy'... Indeed, there's nothing worse than a 'ass-thinking machine intelligence' than the entire galaxy put together This kind of thing is even more embarrassing..."
At this time, they felt ashamed. After all, they are all civilized races that can go to the interstellar era, and they also have their own pride.
Even if the "Guardians" are as powerful as surpassing the Milky Way, they can comfort themselves that "they are the complete ultimate lost empire, which is normal."
But now it seems that this "Mechanical Lost Empire" is simply "incomplete". Even if it is restarted, it can only maintain 4% of its computing power.
This is enough to suspend natural disasters and save the civilization of the galaxy. This undoubtedly makes these proud species feel hot-skinned, and has a feeling that they are really "galactic garbage".
They are thankful that the "Guardian" should not know what is happening here.
However, this state did not last long, and they quickly returned to the main topic - the state of "guardian".
They think that the "activated but not fully activated" state of the "Guardian" is very bad. This not only means that the "Guardian" attaches great importance to the "unexpected enemy", but also shows that they can't completely count on using their butts. The "guardian" of thinking.
Even if their power is almost equal to nothing, they must also think about the future, and once again concentrating the power of the entire civilization is the first priority.
But so far, they still don't have that sense of urgency that the galaxy is coming to an end.
In their subconscious, the "Guardian" will definitely be like before, even with only 4% of computing power, it can still sweep the "unexpected enemy" into the dustbin of history.
All they need to do is to contribute as much as possible, and then sit back and watch the "Guardian" solve this galactic crisis.
After all, it seems that this kind of "outside-of-standard" disaster is not what they should bear. There is a tall person to withstand the sky falling, and the "guardian" is the "higher person" to them.
However, the progress of civilization should not be so smooth. This time, the "guardian", or Li Wenyuan, is going to surprise them.
He witnessed the meeting that took place in the "Star Sea Community" from beginning to end. This "Interstellar Convocation" giant building was originally provided by him. It is normal for him to be able to monitor this place anytime and anywhere.
Of course, his purpose of watching this meeting is not to appreciate the ugliness of these representatives, but to obtain the information exchanged between the Galactic Civilization and the "Active Purification Protocol".
In fact, he has already had contact with the "Active Purification Protocol", but unlike his attitude towards other civilizations, the "Active Purification Protocol" did not "communicate" with him.
After Li Wenyuan communicated tentatively, the "Active Purification Protocol" just sent a sentence:
【You...you...why haven't you died yet? 】
Then there was no response, no matter how he called, he could only get a string of silence.
But the communication between the "Active Purification Protocol" and the galactic civilizations was normal, and Li Wenyuan also learned what state this "out-of-control mechanical intelligence" is in now.
And its state also has a perfect foundation for him to shape the "script".
"Then... the 'end' of the last 'galactic original lost empire' is coming..."
"However—according to the classification of the galaxy, I should now belong to the 'Awakened Empire'?"
"I'm the one who opens the curtain, and I'm the one who closes the curtain. The sense of ceremony is always very important, isn't it?"
Li Wenyuan looked at the galaxy, and finally set his sights beyond the galaxy. There will be his home.
