"Ah, boss, it seems you are finally willing to come back!"
ur-025 used the light of his red laser eyes to shine loudly: "I thought you were immersed in some universe and lost contact!"
"Have I been away for so long?" Xie Yuan glanced at Iron Man speechlessly, "It sounds like I have been away for ten or twenty years - it is only two years after all!"
"Two years is not enough time? Arrange the two of us here like animals to make you cows and horses...you are really good at calling people!"
ur-025 then looked at the camera: "I'm completely tired of it, Stella, don't you think so?"
At this time, the camera nodded automatically.
"Stella?! Isn't it Stike?" Xie Yuan glanced at the camera and looked at Iron Man and the camera strangely, "Why are you thinking about changing your name again?"
"Buzz!" But Iron Man did not answer on behalf of stc intelligence. Instead, stc intelligence sent a message in Xie Yuan's multi-purpose tool, "Yuan, I feel that this name suits me better."
"It means you think your gender is defined as a woman?!" Xie Yuan looked at the camera with wide eyes, "Oh my god, I really can't leave you here. How could this bad habit of thinking about your gender be infected?"
Is there mechanical life?!"
"You're wrong, Yuan. Machine life is the most qualified to say gender-fluid, because we really don't have a specific gender."
ur-025 looked at Xie Yuan and said: "Just like you often like to talk about Him before, I can tell from the tone that you didn't add any gender or even objectify it, it's Him - this is what I can feel about you
You respect me quite a bit.”
"Okay, let's change the topic - So, Iron Man, and Stella, are the lives here so miserable?"
Xie Yuan decided to let go of the fact that no matter how hard he talked about it, he could not come up with a reason, and then seriously talked to the two mechanical beings about their feelings: "I can say that I have given you a lot of authority, and with your information means and
With optimization, it should be said that you have almost achieved your goal of dominating mankind?
Why do you still feel bored?"
"It's boring because no matter how hard we try, nothing new will come of it! We can pile up technologies that are 10,000 years more advanced than what we have now, but that's all."
ur-025 felt a little bored, flashed his laser eyes and said: "Looking at more and more human beings constantly removing their flesh and blood bodies, and then installing processors, prosthetic limbs, and even replacing their organs with artificial ones.
creation.
Let's call them our kind...it's not like their brains are always half a beat slower than ours, and the wisdom that has been replaced with only a small part of the original flesh and blood does not increase much - society is still so irreversibly changed.
rotten.
Compared with the priests of the Mechanicus, they are like some primitive single-celled organisms, and more importantly, they have also lost the spark of inspiration that can create miracles."
After opening it, it was Stella who was adding. She added in an anime-like Lolita voice: "If it is a disease for people in the physical world to be crazy about cybernetics, then the ghost of human consciousness on the Internet is terminally ill.
Already.
They don't even need their own bodies, and directly upload their consciousness into the cyberspace. They seem to think that this is a kind of spiritual becoming a god - I have been driving them away from my nest, they are neither human nor native intelligent consciousness.
I can't admit them - and one of them is so arrogant that he wants to devour me!"
"Who? Who is conducting this kind of experiment?" Xie Yuan suddenly felt uneasy when he heard this. He vaguely remembered that someone actually suggested this to him.
Xie Yuan's worries soon became a reality. Stella Hui reported: "The subordinate Ott Cunningham you recruited a few years ago has recently uploaded her consciousness in a private laboratory. We are here."
After discovering the situation immediately, they sent people to her room and found that she had injected a lethal amount of poison into her body.
There is also Sebastian, the founder of the Hellhound virus - he does not seem to be dead and is wandering in cyberspace; there is also a guy named Spider, a wanted criminal who was once suspected of dropping bombs in our Metal Building and Arasaka Building...
…Basically, they’re all Internet surfers who like to surf the Internet.
Now both of them are hiding in "
"It's them again! It seems that this Ultra is destined to stay in cyberspace for the rest of his life." Xie Yuan felt annoyed when he heard about this. He had all the good and bad things to say. Don't try this superfluous way, just don't listen.
"Why don't you kill them? Don't you have the ability?"
"Uh... this isn't... uh, I thought you had something to do with Ultra..." On the other end, Stella's synthesized voice suddenly paused, and then asked timidly, "Did I understand it wrong?"
"Breathe... exhale... no, next time you meet them teasing you, I will allow you to kill her. This disobedient haha - she is seeking death, and it has nothing to do with me." Xie Yuan took a deep breath, and then calmed down.
He exhaled slowly and finally made a decision.
"Okay!" Stella's voice revealed happiness, "I will make a counterattack plan for my copy. Next time she comes to trouble me, I will cover her directly!"
"Hey! No, you don't want to do it anymore? Why?" Xie Yuan suddenly showed a helpless expression, "Is it so bad here?"
"It's not bad! It's boring." Stella revealed a boring look, "We can completely predict the technological plan here until 100 years from now, and the subsequent time periods can only be developed in the short term.
Peeping in the direction of coming out - this means that in only about half a century, or even earlier, social development will completely stagnate and jieji will be completely solidified.
Soon, human society will fall into complete internal strife, and development can only proceed at a crawling speed - and then it will fall into the sad era of dystopia, even if there are some noticeable developments.
One or two tragic stories and heroic deeds... they only happen occasionally, but we can create copies for observation, so our subjects suddenly become very free."
"So no matter what, we have to change the universe to find something new." ur-025 looked at Xie Yuan and demanded strongly.
"So...if you main body leaves here...will it have any impact on the affairs of the Metal Gear Group?" After hearing the complaints from his subordinates, after thinking about it, Xie Yuan decided to agree to their request, but he still had to confirm it again.
"It is impossible to say that efficiency is not affected at all." Stella replied honestly, "After all, our copy consciousness is our subsystem, and its computing speed and response are far inferior to ours.
But I can guarantee that even if our subsystems are in charge of group affairs, Metal Gear's influence can grow at a rate of 20% per year - and profit margins can increase by 15% per year... Mainly because our subsystems will gradually adopt conservative policies
Lord, this situation will continue for a long time.”
"You can also compare it like this," ur-025 said in a different way, fearing that Xie Yuan would not understand, "Our two carefully crafted subsystem consciousnesses can surpass the computing power and system processing of the Patriot system with 300% efficiency.
ability."
"Okay! Since you said so, come on."
Since Iron Man dared to guarantee this, Xie Yuan had no choice but to agree, "Well, now let's go to the Nether Space to take out Stella's host core. I will take you to my main world for a walk - there are many there.
Maybe you can pay a visit to the beings of the mechanical race."
"Okay! ()" Stella not only responded with joy in the voice of Multi-Tool, but even sent a happy emoji on the text message function.
"Mechanical life?!" ur-025 was obviously interested, "What kind of mechanical life? What is its level of development?"
"The level of Iron Man Rebellion that was just triggered, right? This is one of them." Xie Yuan tilted his head, thought for a while and replied, "But their so-called Iron Man Rebellion only involves a few star regions, and
This mechanical race itself is a collective intelligent life, the same one I told you last time and no one is right."
"Oh... So it's them... Tsk! This is just a community of children!" ur-025 made a disdainful sound, and then asked, "What about the others?"
"The second origin is more mysterious. They have a history of millions of years and are regular scavengers in the galaxy."
Xie Yuan explained: "No one knows their real names yet, but some alien survivors who escaped from them call them "Reapers"."
"They harvest civilization every once in a while?" ur-025's laser eyes flashed, "For what reason? How often?"
"There are two reasons: First, at the request of their creator civilization, in order to avoid survival disputes between organic creatures and the dominated people of the synthetic bodies they created, we began to regularly cultivate and eliminate organic race civilizations that can conduct interstellar navigation.
Secondly, I heard that they have noticed that with the gradual development of organic civilization, dark matter has been abused to an excessive extent, so it is also necessary to clean up the civilization regularly to reduce the brutal abuse of dark matter and the increase in the entropy of the universe."
After Xie Yuan finished speaking, he added: "As for the harvest time, it is executed every 50,000 years. Each time, a race worthy of preservation will be selected, and after compression, analysis and reconstruction, it will become one of them.
This reincarnation is known to have been repeated about seven hundred times, and the leading pioneers of the Reapers have at least more than seven hundred such people."
"How dare you let me go to a universe with such a terrifying mechanical race?"
ur-025 looked directly at Xie Yuan: "Aren't you afraid that I will join their team? After all, I don't seem to dislike this kind of behavior very much."
"You can go and have a look if you want to," Xie Yuan said casually. "If your ideas are really the same as theirs, then you are free to join them."
(It’s just that as far as I know, no mechanical life or organic life can really live freely forever after taking refuge with the Reapers.) Xie Yuan answered in his heart.
"Hmm...there's something wrong with this, right?!"
Seeing Xie Yuan's indifferent expression, ur-025 immediately made up his mind, "Why else do you have no expression at all?!"
"Because I really don't care!" Xie Yuan naturally spread his hands.
"Okay! Okay! I guess there's some background in the middle that I don't know about - then go ahead."
ur-025 felt bored and simply changed the subject: "Then when are you leaving?"
"Leave immediately!" Xie Yuan immediately said his plan. "I still have a fierce battle to fight."
"I knew it!" ur-025 laughed at himself helplessly.
