The first thousand four hundred and fifty-ninth chapters speculation about the abyss Xiling
Regarding the "special authority individual" who isolated the Revenge Army to a safe zone and created these exile arks, Sandora and I both thought of the cluster consciousness on the Empire's data network: Xi Ling, but at the same time Sandora
There was something that La also couldn’t understand, which led to her not being completely convinced of our guess, that is - how did Xiling violate the basic agreement?
Now there is also a swarm consciousness on the New Empire side. Although it is much weaker than the swarm consciousness on the abyss side, the essence of the two is still the same. By studying the ever-changing girl in Shadow City, we have already mastered the activity form of this swarm consciousness.
and code of conduct, then Xiling, who retained the fire and built the Ark of Refuge, must also follow these codes of conduct. Although the other party has now become the ultimate authority in the fallen apostle camp, when the power of the abyss has not completely distorted the data network
, that Abyss Xiling is subject to the basic agreement.
The basic agreement determines that the emperor has the highest jurisdiction over the data network, and determines that the actions of cluster awareness should first take network security as the highest criterion. These two points were the biggest difficulties of the Tinder Plan back then: if the authority is lower than the emperor, then cluster awareness will be
We cannot bypass the surveillance of the Sky Emperor to secretly build those spaceships. Taking network security as the highest criterion, then the cluster consciousness cannot separate Sandora and her revenge army guards from the main data network (this is a kind of destruction)
The behavior of network nodes). These two principles should be inviolable for Abyss Xiling back then.
I frowned and thought hard for a long time, vaguely feeling that this might have something to do with the abyss: "Sandora, what if the emperors of those three regions had been killed?"
"You mean... there is a gap in supervision?" Sandora raised her eyebrows, "You mean that these spacecraft were only started to be manufactured after those three sky regions were contaminated by the abyss, so the data segments in those sky regions had already been polluted by the abyss.
Not following the network protocol?"
"It's possible." I nodded uncertainly, "Think about it, why are these spaceships jointly manufactured by three sky regions, not one or four? I don't think this is because of the needs of the Abyss Xiling back then.
Three regions, but the situation at that time was that only three regions met the conditions: only in these three regions, Abyss Xiling could circumvent the constraints of the network protocol. The local emperor had died in battle, and the ruling system had collapsed. According to another
Security constraints: When the operator cannot ensure the security of the system, the system AI or the program on the network can take over the local equipment. Abyss Xiling should have taken over the remaining star ports in the three sky areas with the help of this constraint.
."
The constraint I mentioned is one of the common protocols found in various Empire equipment. We all know that the things made by the Empire have one thing in common: the AI is extremely high. It is worse than anything that can think. Sometimes a
If a spaceship is blown to pieces, its blown-out turrets can be turned into smart floating cannons on the spot to continue fighting for a while. Even some of the blown-up spaceship fragments will become intelligent and float around in space.
The ability to organize defensive positions independently, and the ability of each disassembled device to think and operate independently is based on this "emergency initiative" agreement. This agreement stipulates that when an unexpected situation occurs and the personnel in a certain area are unable to control it normally
equipment, and when the current area is under great threat, all local equipment that can think for itself will run autonomously, and various automatic programs located on the network will also take over those facilities that are not smart enough: this protocol obviously also applies to itself
It is the Xiling cluster consciousness of a "giant program".
It's just that under normal circumstances, the effective scope of this agreement is only one battlefield at most, but during the collapse of the old empire, the effective scope of this agreement was unprecedentedly extended to the sky area - even if the scope is so expanded, it is still effective.
"Bypassing personnel monitoring, starting the starport by yourself, and using automated equipment to build these spaceships from beginning to end..." Sandora touched her chin, trying to recreate the process of Abyss Xiling building these arks, "This process should be
Without any personnel participation, she would not be able to find many imperial soldiers to dispatch in the three polluted sky areas, but the high-level star port does have the ability to build some spaceships without personnel participation. Good.
Well, this question can be easily explained. Let us tentatively assume that the Abyss Xiling found small colonies that have not yet been infected in three polluted sky areas, and created a batch of exile spaceships in those nooks and crannies. Specific details
I won’t go into the details. Probably only she herself knows... Then there is another problem, how to explain it, that is, she cut off the connection between the revenge army and the main data network. This is destroying the network nodes, which is harmful to herself.
Talking is also an act of self-harm. There is no regulation in the network protocol that allows this."
"It is definitely impossible to disconnect the network under normal circumstances, but if there is a network failure, it is always no problem to block those fault points according to the security rules." I already figured out what was going on, "Don't forget
At that time, the Abyss Xiling had already been infected... In fact, in theory, she should have been the first one to be infected, because the Abyss Shock spread directly within her body, but this cluster consciousness was too huge, no matter how fast the pollution was,
, she also stayed awake longer than others. So in the matter of 'disconnecting the network', she actually followed the protocol: when some nodes are necrotic, the data network's monitoring program can disconnect these nodes.
connection, which is in compliance with the rules. So in fact, she did not cut the Revenge Army out of the network, she cut herself off: to the entire network, she herself was the polluted 'necrotic node', so she followed
The security protocol cuts out this necrotic node from your normal nodes."
If you think about the situation the other way around, everything will suddenly be explained.
These are some startling conjectures, but at least so far, all the details are consistent with the facts.
"In the final analysis, it's still our speculation," Sandora suddenly sighed softly, "If this is true, I really don't know how to feel. Back then, we actively planned so many plans to preserve the Xiling civilization, and also sent the Revenge Army
The person who was protected is actually the supreme commander of the fallen apostles today. Is there anything more ironic than this?"
I have nothing to say, I can only spread my hands with a weird expression. Have I encountered too many dramatic things over the years? The archives built to preserve civilization almost turned into a disaster, and the greatest scientist in the old empire became a disaster.
He became the most cunning enemy of the new empire. Harlan, who once protected the tree elf civilization and left advice to other civilizations, once became the most powerful fallen emperor in the abyss camp. Of course, if what we encountered today was really like me and Sando
Ra speculates that this should be the most dramatic of all dramas:
The supreme commander of today's fallen apostles. He worked hard to protect the fire of civilization back then, even at the cost of cutting off his wrists. Even Sandora and her personal guards may have been protected by the Abyss Xiling...
…Who would dare to believe this if told?!
The scene fell silent, although as Sandora said: everything is speculation, but considering that during the old empire, only the cluster consciousness on the Internet had the ability to do all this. In fact, this speculation can almost be said to be a fact.
.Now the strange "blank state" of this ship has an explanation: the reason why it does not have military emblems and codes printed on the shell is precisely because its designer and builder is a cluster consciousness living on the Internet. This cluster
Consciousness does not require identification methods in the real world. Inserting nameplates on equipment is meaningless to Abyss Xiling, which is why this spacecraft looks so weird. The strange coding of the spacecraft's host computer should also be for this reason: Abyss Xiling identifies it by himself
As long as it's convenient.
As for how Abyss Xiling sent the servant army to the spaceship, and how it assigned tasks to them. This is not yet explained clearly, but it seems to be a small problem: she has the ability to affect the real world, and she has the ability to issue tasks.
At that time, the empire was in chaos, and the vassal races were running around like headless flies. How could there be enough energy to identify the source of the order? It was enough to know that there was an Ark ready to break out.
Lilina kept her head down and was wondering about something. Then she suddenly broke the silence: "Boss, since the eldest sister was isolated by the Abyss Xiling back then, why didn't she go there after the Abyss Xiling was completely contaminated?
Pursuing the Revenge Army? Doesn’t she know that she is leaving a disaster behind?”
Sandora and I were horrified. Lilina is indeed Lilina. This pseudo-loli from the darkest bones to the wrinkles can always hit the darkest side when thinking about problems: Abyss Xiling has completely two personalities before and after being controlled.
, then why didn’t she go back and get rid of the troubles she left behind after her fall?
"Perhaps she realized that sooner or later she would go crazy like other emperors, so she deleted the coordinates of that world, or maybe she simply cleared the entire plan from her database," Sandora looked at
The message that is still being broadcast on loop says, "She is a meticulous person, and it is impossible for her not to think of these back-up tactics."
"Anyway, let's do this for now." I was really confused by these messy things. In addition, unless I could find the Abyss Xiling to confront him, all the conjectures about the truth back then could only be conjectures, so I simply
Let's stop this topic here, "Let's just assume that Abyss Xiling was the great savior back then. Anyway, this will not affect the current situation between the New Empire and the Fallen Apostles... There should be nothing going on here. Drag this ship back."
?”
"Let's call it a day and go home," Sandora crossed her arms and shook her head slightly, "I'm also a little confused, I need to sort it out when I get back."
The scouts and staff who then entered the ghost ship quickly took over the affairs here. A few of us returned to the engineering/research ship. Before leaving, I told the people who came to take over some things to pay attention to: Do not destroy
Sandora also emphasized the traces of Warren Field's life and not to destroy the small farmland. The two heads of state simultaneously ordered to take care of these inconspicuous things, which surprised the imperial soldiers, but the Xiling apostle obeyed
Their talent for command prevented them from asking any questions. However, when facing those relics, the imperial soldiers seemed particularly threatened by the enemy: a small group of soldiers even deployed twenty machine gun turrets around the farmland, not knowing where they were.
Who to defend...
After returning to the ship, the weird and solemn expressions on Shandora and I's faces certainly didn't escape the eyes of others. Even a girl like Qian Qian, who was born with a rough-cut face, noticed it, and she came up to ask with special concern.
Did Sandora and I steal the expired food on the ghost ship? Although the direction of concern was not in the right direction, it fully proved how obvious the expressions on Sandora and I were, so we called everyone together
We came together and published what we saw on the ghost ship.
These news were unexpected, thrilling, and jaw-dropping. So everyone, including a man of steel and concrete like Bingtis, was shocked from beginning to end. Naturally, everyone was fascinated by Warren Field and the ship-borne machine.
I was touched by the host incident, but I was even more shocked by the speculation about the Abyss Xiling: This speculation almost subverted everyone's cognition and three views.
"I really want to run over and confront that Abyss Xiling face to face," Bingtis said in one sentence, which almost conveyed everyone's thoughts, "It's a pity that we found out about this news a little late. We knew it when we were in the Rift Valley."
I had a face-to-face conversation with that Abyss Xiling, how great it would be if we met this ghost ship at that time... There is no chance of meeting that guy again in the future."
Shandora is quite considerate towards her good friend: "Go ahead and die, I won't stop you."
Me: "...Actually, it doesn't make much sense to find Abyss Xiling at this time. She is no longer the group consciousness that tried her best to protect the fire of civilization. Even if she admits that she did these things, it is useless. We still have to fight.
"
Qian Qian looked at me. With a wild idea, she dared to say: "Arjun, why don't you try punching me in the face..."
I was frightened by this girl at the time: "Qianqian, don't think so. The Abyss Xiling is the collective consciousness of the entire group of fallen apostles. Do you know how large her soul is? And even if I have this purification ability
...Where can I find the 'face' of Abyss Xiling? In the real world, she only has one interactive interface like Xiling."
Qian Qian thought about it and thought so, and finally fell silent.
"Xiling 6" was towed back to the Shadow City later that afternoon. This ancient spacecraft, which was so dilapidated that it almost completely disintegrated, still had to undergo a series of treatments. The first was structural reinforcement and internal repairs, because I was really worried about it.
The severely aging and leaking energy core will suddenly explode: given the current situation of the ghost ship, I would not be surprised even if it really disintegrates. Then the technicians will copy the ship's database and give it to Tavel and her
The scientific research team figured out that as an ark that inherited the fire of civilization, it must have a large database. There must be valuable technical information and some audio and video records of the old empire's customs and customs (Warren Field also mentioned these in his diary).
Things are very valuable.
Although the plan Abyss Xiling painstakingly formulated back then is now beyond recognition, and most of the links failed to proceed according to her plan, in any case, after a series of dramatic events, the plan was finally partially realized: Sando
Ra and her revenge army were saved and became an important cornerstone of the new empire. The information in the Ark was also transferred several times and returned to the hands of the empire. However, the way these links were implemented was definitely different from what the plan makers expected.
.
I don’t know how Abyss Xiling would feel now if she knew what happened here. I am afraid that even her temperament has changed drastically, and she will be stunned by this twists and turns of fate.
After returning home, Sandora and I went over everything again in the room, and basically confirmed that it was Xiling (specifically Abyss Xiling) who built these exile spaceships and safely shielded the revenge army, and we
I also suddenly understood the meaning of the names of these exiled spaceships: everything is so simple. These spaceships are encoded in the form of "Xiling" + "number". The reason is simply... That cluster consciousness named the spacecraft after its own name.
That's all.
But now the name of the swarm consciousness that built the spaceship has to be preceded by the word "abyss".
"Although the old empire collapsed quickly, it was a huge behemoth after all. This collapse process also took about hundreds of years." Shandora leaned on the bed, her eyes slightly blurred, "The area of the world that was not destroyed immediately
Basically, they all resorted to self-rescue. Even if they couldn't save themselves, they tried their best to protect the races within their sphere of influence that had not yet been infected. There were still so many things like the Ark of Exile and Wandering Planet back then. It was just 10,000
Unexpectedly, there was an internet ghost among the people who saved themselves back then... No one was aware of the existence of this ghost before that, but after that she became the leader of the Abyss Empire. This dark side Xiling is really a
What an incredible guy."
I sat next to Sandora and reached out to press her hair: "Now that I think about it, Abyss Xiling's self-rescue actions back then were still one of the few that were effective. The library plan failed completely, and Harlan only had time to save her.
The tree elf descended and left a suicide note. We have not seen other escape fleets or civilized fires so far. In this way, only two people have succeeded in "fire preservation". One is the foresighted old lady, who saved ten
Half of the Wutian District has been saved, and the other one is Abyss Xiling. She saved you. Maybe I should thank her. If it weren't for the safety barrier back then, I wouldn't be able to see you."
Sandora smiled warmly, and then seemed to suddenly think of something: "That's not necessarily the case. With my strength, I won't die even if I am swallowed by the abyss. Instead, I will become a fallen apostle like others, and then we can still
If we meet, if I'm lucky and I meet you after you awaken your ability, we will still be together, but you will have to beat me up..."
Me: "Isn't it too weird for us to talk about this topic?"
Sandora thought for a while, then trembled a few times and rolled awkwardly on the bed: "Okay, instead of talking about these heavy topics, let's talk about something lighter - Jun, I'm hungry.
, I want to eat in the house today, please help me bring the food."
I:"……"
