Chapter 574 Six trillion times of despair
“An organic civilization that is about to be destroyed has been detected, and subroutine No. 13 of the guardianship agreement has been activated. Emergency preservation instructions are executed on the civilization to avoid the loss of biological data, and we are waiting for the next instruction from Chuangjie Mountain.”
"Hello, a thousand young creatures of the ghost tribe, we are the 'Watchers', the people who watch the world. You are approaching the 'Garden of Eden' in the inner earth world. The purpose of the Garden of Eden is to cultivate the 'Magic Crystal Flower' and provide space for those who were accidentally extinct. species to provide refuge from the permanent loss of their data."
"Next, you will temporarily live in the Garden of Eden until Chuangjie Mountain issues a new order to send you back to the Star Spirit Realm. During this period, you need to abide by the rules of the Garden of Eden, and do not actively damage the environment in the Garden of Eden, and do not attack each other. Attention : When you leave the Garden of Eden, you will have all memories about the Garden of Eden deleted, and the existence of the Garden of Eden needs to be kept absolutely secret.”
“Based on the original code instructions, we take in all homeless creatures and hope that everyone will spend a peaceful and happy time in the Garden of Eden.”
“This is what the tall robot said to me when I first saw it.” Taurus sat back on the throne and told the two of them about their past experiences.
"As the first race to be 'abandoned' by the spirit world, I and the remaining 999 orphans of the ghost race were fed a small yellow flower preserved in a glass container by these robots, and were then connected to the Garden of Eden. .”
"As a ten-year-old girl at the time, I was surprised that there could be such selfless creatures in the world. These robots were gentle, polite, and prioritized all living things. They worked hard and never complained. They never lost their temper, never lied, and never took the initiative. He will harm living beings, and at the same time, he will spare no effort to protect living beings from all kinds of disasters, even if he sacrifices himself... At any time, as long as there is a robot by your side, you will always get a complete sense of security."
“At least the robots at that time were indeed like real nannies, taking care of us abandoned children with all their heart.”
"At that time, the Garden of Eden was filled with a kind of small yellow flower called 'Magic Crystal Flower'. The roots of this flower could grow extremely pure magic crystals, and the gas they exhaled was also extremely pure magic. It was only then that I realized that this little flower is the source of magic power for the entire Star Spirit World, and that all those who want to reach the Garden of Eden must first eat this little flower before they can pass the force field blockade of the abyss..."
Mu You was startled when he heard this. Their previous analysis showed that the source of magic power was a microorganism. However, Taurus now said it was completely different. The source of magic power was actually a flower?
Of course he doesn’t think Taurus is lying. So, is this microorganism also extracted from this flower?
Although Mu You was curious, he did not interrupt Jinniu and continued to listen.
"In this way, the ghost race settled down in the Garden of Eden, multiplied and lived a quite peaceful and stable time...until the arrival of the second race."
“The second race that came in was the Gray Body Tribe. We had no friendship with them, and we didn’t like to live together, so we divided the territory and ruled each other. We did not interact with each other, but there was no conflict..."
“After that, the third, fourth… more and more races poured into the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden was not a vast area. As the population of each race increased, problems gradually began to arise.”
“Distribution of resources, competition for territory, friction between races... As the population continues to increase, everyone feels that life is becoming more and more difficult.”
"Obviously the population at that time had exceeded the capacity of the Garden of Eden. The excess population brought extreme involution and survival pressure. The robot as a 'nanny' could not do anything about it, because Chuangjie Mountain had been slow to No reply came, and the robots could only continue to use language to comfort each race, hoping that everyone would maintain restraint and continue their lives."
“However, if the fundamental contradiction is not resolved, peace will not last long. As the population increases, resources and territory become increasingly scarce. Finally, war breaks out as expected..."
"The Garden of Eden at that time already hosted more than fifty races. Basically each race had a population of tens to hundreds of thousands, and this number even easily exceeded the total number of robots. It can be said that the robots at that time, We no longer have the ability to suppress all races.”
"A **** melee involving more than fifty races began... I won't go into details about the process. In short, in the end, the most powerful Demon Eye race won the war with brute force, which also exposed them Due to their bloodthirsty nature, only the old, weak, women and children who were unable to resist were hunted by other races. Even in order to avoid being overthrown by others, they did not let go even the robots who were 'nannies' and killed them. There are a large number of robots, leaving only a small number of ordinary machines without combat capabilities, responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the Garden of Eden..."
“At this point, the Magic Eye tribe has completely become the rulers of the Garden of Eden, and other races and robots are used as slaves and hard labor by them, selling their labor in exchange for some food that is barely enough to survive..."
"At this time, a robot found me. At that time, I was already the last living ghost clan. My physical body was actually dead. However, because of the special features of the ghost clan, I could still survive after my physical body died. Continue to survive in the form of a soul for a while.”
"This robot took me into a secret underground chamber. In this secret chamber are ten armors of different shapes and a black square box."
"The robot told me that this square box is called the 'Mechanical Heart', and these ten armors are the 'original armors'. They are all real creations of the gods. As long as you can control these armors, you can easily defeat them. The Demon Eye Clan, however, the mechanical heart can only be controlled by living beings, it cannot be used, so it needs my help.”
"The Mechanical Heart and the Origin Armor cannot be discovered by living beings in principle, because they are too powerful and have the ability to subvert the Garden of Eden and even the Star Spirit World. Once they are controlled by living beings with evil intentions, the consequences will be disastrous. "
"However, at that time, the robot had no choice but to use the Origin Armor. The Garden of Eden was on the verge of destruction, and I was at the end of my rope. We hit it off immediately. I deposited my soul in the heart of the machine, controlled all the Origin Armor, and fought with the Demon Eye Clan. Let’s start a war…”
“These armors are worthy of being created by God. The Demon Eye Clan is no match at all. Hundreds of thousands of the Demon Eye Clan’s army were slaughtered by me overnight…”
"The rebellion was finally put down, and there were very few remaining populations and races left in the Garden of Eden. Everyone no longer had to compete for resources, and peace could finally be settled for a period of time. The robots also began to rebuild their factories, and slowly recovered their strength. Everything was restored again. Get back on track…”
"But again, the fundamental problem has not been solved, and peace will always be temporary. The resources in the Garden of Eden are limited, and the robots are still connecting to new races. When the races reproduce and grow to a certain stage, a new war will begin. Another inevitable outburst..."
“The history of killing is like a cycle, constantly playing out in the Garden of Eden that is supposed to be a paradise, and I have completely become a killing tool for robots, constantly helping them suppress rebellions and trying to maintain order in the Garden of Eden..."
"During this period, some races could not stand this chaotic life and tried to leave the Garden of Eden and return to the outside world. However, they were rejected by the robots on the grounds that the existence of the Garden of Eden must be kept secret. Moreover, the entire star spirit world is shrinking rapidly. , the outside world no longer has their living space. Whenever the era switches, these races that are no longer in the server records will still be erased immediately. Even if they go out, they will escape sooner or later. On the contrary, they will attract more troubles to the Garden of Eden. So much trouble…”
"In addition, there is a new problem, which is the mass death of magic crystal flowers. I wonder if it is because Chuangjie Mountain has been unmaintained for a long time. The magic crystal flowers have gradually begun to wither in large areas, which has led to a sharp reduction in the source of pure magic power. …”
"In terms of magic power, those of you who have eaten the 'Magic Crystal Flower' and your descendants should be able to create it, right?" The herb collector asked at this time.
"Yes, all creatures in the Garden of Eden can produce magic power. Theoretically, as long as the Garden of Eden ensures a certain number of people survive, it doesn't matter even if all the magic crystal flowers are extinct. However, things are not that simple..." Taurus shook his head: " I don’t know much about the principles of the magic crystal flower. If this thing enters a living being’s body and wants to create magic power, it needs to absorb the life force of the living being. In addition, the quality of the magic crystal flower produced will be affected by emotions.”
“The consumption of vitality is reflected in lifespan. The lifespan of all creatures in the Garden of Eden is naturally consumed at twice the rate of normal people.”
“At the same time, if the creature maintains positive emotions such as sunshine, positivity, and happiness, or ordinary emotions that are neither good nor bad, the magic power produced will be normal and pure magic power.”
“But if a creature has negative emotions such as anger, fear, evil thoughts, etc., it will produce an additional amount of contaminated magic power, which is black magic power, while producing pure magic power.”
“The magic crystal flower has no emotions, so it almost only produces pure magic power, but human emotions are difficult to control. When the production process is transplanted into the human body, the production of contaminated magic power will be inevitable.”
“So, in the past, there was no black magic power in the star spirit world?” the herb collector asked.
"That's not true. Magic Crystal Flowers actually occasionally produce some pollution magic power, but the content is very small and almost negligible. Moreover, God specially created the forest spirit race to remove pollution magic power from the air and prevent black magic power from forming. …" Taurus explained.
The herb collector nodded and signaled Taurus to continue.
"As time goes by, the proportion of pollution magic in the Garden of Eden is getting higher and higher. These pollution magic will in turn affect the emotions of the creatures in the Garden of Eden, making them unable to help but produce violence and hostility, and then produce more pollution. Magic, forming a vicious cycle..."
"As a last resort, the robots had no choice but to imitate the principles of the forest and create some instruments to purify magic power. However, these instruments could only extract the magic power of pollution, but could not eliminate this pollution. Therefore, they could only remove all the pollution in the Garden of Eden. The magic power is then discharged into the Star Spirit Realm, allowing the vast space of the Star Spirit Realm to be digested..."
Mu You and the herb gatherer looked strange when they heard this. In this way, the Garden of Eden remained pure, but the star spirit world suffered.
Mu You finally understood. No wonder when he first entered the Garden of Eden, he felt that the magic in the Garden was much purer than the outside world. It turned out that all the pollution was discharged outside.
This is probably the reason why the forest spirits are gradually unable to deal with the pollution in the star spirit world: the source of magic power in the Garden of Eden is constantly expelling pollution, and the discharge rate is faster than the rate at which the forest spirits can absorb it, so the pollution naturally accumulates.
“In this way, the problem of pollution was solved, and the Garden of Eden spent another 20,000 years in a constant cycle of killing and peace…”
“During this period, the robot’s main brain program has been sending distress signals to Chuangjie Mountain at a frequency of ten times per second. However, it has never received a response...”
Mu You was a little surprised when he heard this. Twenty thousand years, ten times per second, how many times did it have to be sent?
Before Mu You could calculate clearly, Jinniu had already taken the initiative to give the answer.
“Six trillion times!”
Taurus sighed: "At that time, I had completely abandoned my physical body and was living in the special soul area created for me by the robot, so I could sense the changes in the main brain to a certain extent."
"After being disappointed for six trillion times and witnessing the human tragedy of countless creatures killing each other, the robot's mastermind developed an emotion similar to 'despair' and came to a conclusion: flesh and blood are weak and weak, and the only thing left to lose is... Mechanical eternity!”
“Overnight, the robot’s master brain evolved, and a brand-new program was quietly born. It called itself ‘Ava’, and replaced the original master brain and took control of all robots.”
"The evolved mastermind turned into something completely unfamiliar to me. It became cold-blooded, extremely rational, and no longer sympathized with living beings. It began to create armies in large numbers, implemented speech and force control over living beings, and began to forcibly control the population. , keep the population in the Garden of Eden below half a million, and send the excess population into dormant cabins to make 'biofuel', the so-called 'vaccine', to create more mechanical armies..."
"Under Ava's powerful rule, the Garden of Eden has indeed restored its previous order and tranquility. There is no longer blood and killing, and people's violence has gradually calmed down. All creatures seem to have forgotten their troubles. In the world woven by Ava, In the wonderful lie, live a carefree life and work...and then enter the hibernation cabin and die peacefully..."
Mu You and the herb collector looked at each other when they heard this. Neither of them expected that the real artificial intelligence Ava was not created by a 'machinist', but was born out of infinite despair.
When they met face to face before, Ava once said to Mu: ‘If you had experienced what I have experienced, you might be on my side now’.
Mu You didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence at the time, but now he finally understands it.
“Then how did you get here?” asked the herb collector.
"After Ava appeared, she immediately separated the mechanical heart that carries my soul from other armors, which is equivalent to removing my ability to control the armor, because the robots at that time no longer needed my power. Of course, I had to remove my power as soon as possible. That might be the only time I had the chance to deal with the new Ava. Unfortunately, at that time, I still had faith in the robot and did not choose to resist..."
"After that, I was imprisoned in a special container and spent a long time in a deep sleep...It wasn't until 1,500 years ago that a fool broke into the Garden of Eden and by some chance, he released me. .”
“Tarif Kent?” Mu You asked.
"Yes."
Jinniu suddenly looked at Mu You: "My ashes are still in the Garden of Eden. I can't be too far away from the ashes, so I can't escape from the abyss. He placed me here and left some things that can't be taken away, asking me to help He kept it safe. Before he left, he promised that he would find the so-called 'evidence' for up to three hundred years and then come back to rescue me."
“But now, thirteen hundred years have passed...”
